All Master of 100 Floors Episode 160
32nd Floor. Dwarf Kingdom (5)
Both the Demons and Dwarfs were exactly the same.
Everyone had their justifications, so in the end they were just fighting among themselves. Whether he sided with the Demons or the Dwarfs, there would be no problem at all.
“….”
Haierm realized.
That the human before his eyes did not possess human values.
His very standards of judgment were different. He was an alien existence wearing the mask of a human. Haierm’s eyes darkened.
“We cannot communicate.”
Then what he had to do was clear. Haierm put on his golden helmet and gripped his hammer with force.
“I will kill you!”
Kuuuuung!
With an intense shout, the ground exploded. A hammer filled with tremendous power came crashing down.
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled as he gripped his sword.
Kaaang!
Sword and hammer collided. Intense waves spread throughout the area.
“Heuuup!”
Haierm used his low stature to lower his center of gravity. Standing firm like a rooted tree, he swung his hammer at Kang Jun-hyeok.
Kaaaang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
Dwarfs.
Their stature was only about half that of humans. But their strength was twice as much. Their attacks, which explosively utilized condensed power, were difficult to counter.
At least for ordinary humans.
Kaaaang!
The collision sound rang out again. Haierm’s body staggered back. Even with his feet firmly planted, it was hard to withstand the overwhelming force.
Kagagagagak!
“Kreuuk!”
Haierm’s strength was at most at the highest level of the first tier.
In contrast, Kang Jun-hyeok was second tier. There was a clear difference in power.
But it wasn’t that easy.
Kagak!
Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword slashed Haierm’s chest. But it was blocked by the armor protecting his body and failed to inflict a wound.
His attack power was around 70.
He could slice through ordinary armor like cutting tofu.
But what Haierm was wearing was Dwarf armor.
Its hardness was such that even Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t easily cut through it.
Moreover, that wasn’t the only equipment Haierm possessed. He roughly raised his hammer.
“Cry out! Hellburscream!”
Kuuuuung!
Lightning struck down from the sky at Kang Jun-hyeok. Unable to dodge the light-speed attack, he took a direct hit. Haierm’s expression brightened but immediately crumpled.
“Even taking a direct hit from Hellburscream, not a single scratch!”
“I may not look it, but I took quite a bit of damage.”
The weapons the Dwarfs created with all their heart and soul were certainly powerful. They were strong enough to penetrate his defenses and deal damage.
Haierm shouted roughly.
“Shine! Helmet of Glory!”
Kiiiiing!
Intense light erupted from the helmet. It not only dealt damage with heat but also obscured vision. Taking advantage of that gap, Haierm swung his hammer upward from below.
Kaaaang!
With tremendous force, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was lifted upward.
Haierm kicked him as he was. The contained power exploded, sending Kang Jun-hyeok’s body flying.
[Balance.]
“As expected of Dwarf weapons.”
Kang Jun-hyeok muttered as he regained his balance in midair.
Dwarfs.
They were a race of the earth.
More than anyone, they were beloved by the land and could handle all kinds of materials to near perfection.
Their weapons were truly special. They were incomparable to anything humans had created, and even in his previous life, he had gone through considerable hardship to obtain Dwarf weapons.
‘But not anymore.’
Now he had a Blacksmith more excellent than any Dwarf.
And to obtain everything from him, he had to defeat the opponent before his eyes. Kang Jun-hyeok raised his finger.
[Judgment of Law.]
“Kuk!”
Haierm staggered as his speed suddenly decreased. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately thrust his sword.
[Thrust.]
Kaaaang!
Haierm’s body staggered and was pushed back. He roughly raised his hammer.
“Cry out! Hellburscream!”
Hellburscream. That attack could not be dodged. So Kang Jun-hyeok raised his shield.
[Block.]
He blocked the unavoidable lightning with his shield. The shield he possessed was the Slime’s Shield. The lightning was perfectly absorbed into the shield. Haierm’s eyes widened.
“How did you….”
Kaang!
Quickly putting away his shield, Kang Jun-hyeok struck Haierm’s chest with his spear.
His body was pushed back as cracks spread across his armor. Haierm gritted his teeth.
“Shine. Helmet of Glory!”
[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]
The flying Sword Qi collided with the helmet’s light and exploded. Haierm staggered.
‘He’s strong, but.’
First tier highest level strength. Plus he was wearing Dwarf weapons. Even looking at the entire continent, he would be among the few strong ones.
But that was exactly his limit.
He was far too ordinary.
There was a huge difference in pure strength, equipped gear, and technique. Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword moved. Like a storm, it struck riding the force. In an instant, large and small cracks appeared in Haierm’s armor.
[Charge.]
Kuuung!
And he charged powerfully. The spreading cracks received the impact and grew even larger. Haierm coughed up blood and gritted his teeth.
“I cannot lose! Glorious Salamandia! Protect me!”
Uuuuung!
Light emanated from the armor and a translucent barrier surrounded Haierm’s body.
Kang Jun-hyeok laughed joyfully.
“A battle of strength against strength. Good. The winner is whoever breaks through first.”
[Anti Field.]
Centered on Kang Jun-hyeok’s body, a barrier spread out like Haierm’s.
Haierm gripped his hammer with force.
Kuuuuung!
A battle of strength against strength erupted. Without any defense, they purely swung their weapons to crush each other. Cracks spread rapidly across the Anti Field.
But the barrier surrounding Haierm’s body was breaking at a faster rate.
Kagak.
Cracks spread through the barrier, creating gaps.
Kang Jun-hyeok immediately raised his sword at that moment.
[Enhancement. One-Point Pierce.]
His body cuts through the air as he charges forward. In an instant, he pierces through the gap and shatters the barrier. He doesn’t stop there. His sword collides with the armor, and the armor breaks apart.
Haierm’s body crashes into the gate of the royal castle. The gate can’t withstand the force and makes a cracking sound before finally breaking apart.
Crash!
Among the scattered fragments, Haierm was embedded in the ground. Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword pierced through Haierm’s heart. He tried to get up somehow, but his body had no strength left.
Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.
“So this is what it’s like after enhancement.”
As expected, even though the advanced skill had only gone from F to E, it was considerably powerful.
“This is the end.”
Haierm, coughing up blood, spoke weakly.
“Why… why does someone like you side with the demons? Why did you betray this ground…?”
“I had to, given my position.”
“Ah… Lord Malaburr. I’m sorry… I couldn’t protect your kingdom…”
Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been looking down at Haierm for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry, Haierm.”
Haierm’s eyes widened.
Kang Jun-hyeok suddenly began speaking respectfully.
That wasn’t all. Emotion filled his gaze toward him. It was as if he knew him.
“But don’t worry too much. You protected your kingdom admirably.”
“What does that even…?”
The words couldn’t be finished. Haierm’s head drooped down. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been looking at the corpse for a moment, pulled out his sword.
[Level Up.]
[Stamina + 20]
[Strength + 1]
[Speed + 1]
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance…]
“Then things over there should be wrapping up soon too.”
Haierm was the only one who could stop Asokan.
That Haierm had now died by Kang Jun-hyeok’s hand.
The war was coming to an end.
* * *
“Thank you, Lord Kang Jun-hyeok.”
After everything was settled, Asokan cautiously approached and bowed.
“Thanks to you, we were able to achieve our goal. Here is what you desired.”
A golden hammer was placed in Kang Jun-hyeok’s hands. He could feel intense divine power within it.
This was Malaburr’s hammer.
It was the objective of the Quest given by the Blacksmith.
“Good work.”
“No, you’re the one who worked hard, Lord Kang Jun-hyeok.”
Fear was present in Asokan’s eyes as he said this. It wasn’t just him – the other demons felt the same way.
Even though he had helped lead them to victory, they couldn’t feel close to his existence at all.
Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t mind and took the hammer.
“Then handle the rest yourselves.”
“Ah, yes.”
Asokan hurriedly nodded. With that, the floor ended.
[32nd Floor Quest Clear.]
[Rewards will be determined based on your performance.]
[Checking achievement rate…]
[Check complete.]
[Achievement rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be given.]
[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]
[4,312 Gold has been awarded.]
[Perfect Clear reward [Malaburr’s Hammer] has been obtained.]
[Perfect Clear reward [Helberscream] has been obtained.]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 32nd Floor: 1 person.]
[You are alone!]
[Universe Announcement.]
[Congratulations everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 32nd Floor has appeared. This is an achievement no one has accomplished until now!]
[Achievement + 3]
He was the only one to Perfect Clear.
The floor’s difficulty itself was easy, but paradoxically, that made Perfect Clear difficult. If a player hesitated even slightly, the dwarfs would solve everything on their own.
Manbyeonggi asked quietly.
[You helped them in every way possible. But they couldn’t accept you until the end.]
“The existence called Player isn’t very familiar to beings of the universe.”
Most beings of the universe couldn’t accept that foreignness.
The reason he had been accepted without trouble by the beings of floors so far was because he had acted that way.
But on the 32nd Floor, he didn’t particularly need the demons’ trust. So he just moved as he pleased.
This part was more important than expected. Later, there would be floors that could only be cleared by not gaining trust at all.
“Now then.”
Kang Jun-hyeok lifted the hammer.
[Malaburr’s Hammer]
[Grade: Advanced]
[A relic Malaburr gave to his children. One who wields this gains dwarven metallurgy.]
“Whew.”
Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.
Just by possessing it, one would gain dwarven skills. It was an item worthy of being called a relic.
‘Though it’s useless to me.’
There was someone who wanted this. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately went to find the Blacksmith.
“You came. Did you bring it?”
“Here it is.”
Kang Jun-hyeok handed over the hammer. The Blacksmith showed interest.
“You accomplished it faster than expected. I thought it would take quite some time.”
The Blacksmith, muttering this, quietly looked at Kang Jun-hyeok.
A gaze as if trying to examine something.
Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t avoid it.
After a moment, the Blacksmith spoke as if finding it interesting.
“There doesn’t seem to be any particular emotional disturbance.”
Strange words.
Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.
“You. Was the reason you wanted the hammer to observe my emotions?”
“I roughly know about the contents of the 32nd Floor. It’s a fight between demons and dwarfs, right? To obtain the hammer, you had no choice but to side with the demons.”
The Blacksmith smiled.
“You must have brought down the poor dwarfs’ kingdom and killed their king. Isn’t that right?”
“What a nasty hobby.”
Kang Jun-hyeok grumbled. The Blacksmith spoke quietly.
“You must continue climbing the Tower. If you’re swayed by each floor, you won’t be able to advance.”
He threw the hammer behind him like trash.
“The Tower is a fragment of the past. Whatever happens there doesn’t affect reality. If you become buried in it, you won’t be able to climb the Tower anymore. Keep that in mind once again.”
“I know.”
Kang Jun-hyeok knew this fact better than anyone. There had actually been someone who was broken for that very reason.
“In any case… you passed magnificently. Congratulations. Now then, I suppose I must do what I need to do.”
[Hidden Quest Complete.]
[Compensation will be given.]
[1. The Blacksmith will perfectly craft any equipment you desire.]
[2. The Blacksmith will give you one piece of weapons and armor from his collection.]

Can’t he just keep the hammer then? He might be able to do something with it.
