All Master of 100 Floors Episode 166

35th Floor. Raising a Dragon (2)

The demon coughs up blood as he flies away. His body that rolled on the ground goes limp.

“You!”

Another terrified demon thrusts a spear made of demonic energy. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly grabs the spear tip and snaps it.

Crack.

That demon’s chest is also crushed.

He advances forward. Every time his body moves, the demons’ weapons break and their bodies are smashed. He truly looked like a living, breathing tank.

“This is ridiculous…”

Rumble!

The demons are swept away along with the final death throes. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly dusted off his hands.

These were enemies targeting the dragon. There was no reason to let them live anywhere.

“Can’t let anything bad affect the dragon.”

After cleanly disposing of even the corpses, Kang Jun-hyeok returns to the nest. He begins caring for the egg as if nothing had happened. During the brief time he was away, there had been a loss in the amount of mana the egg was absorbing.

“At this rate, all the gems I worked hard to collect will be ruined.”

Kang Jun-hyeok grumbles as he bursts another pearl. He replenishes the mana and repairs the nest that was about to collapse under its own weight. He cleans the moss growing in the nest and thoroughly removes the dust.

This egg had been abandoned and left unattended for a long time before he came.

Since damage had already occurred, even more careful care was needed. Knowledge and Observation Skill. If either one was lacking, it would immediately result in failure.

Even during all this, demons continued to seek him out.

“I thought it was strange that contact with the scouts was cut off, but there was a human here!”

“How annoying.”

Kang Jun-hyeok clicks his tongue and flicks his finger.

[Spear Throwing.]

[Spear Throwing.]

[Spear Throwing.]

Spears fly through the sky. The demons are terrified and protect their bodies with demonic energy.

The demons that appeared were not weak. Their defense was like an iron fortress, boasting defense comparable to castle walls.

But that was all.

Crash.

The flying spears smash through their defenses and pierce through the demons’ bodies. Realizing they couldn’t block them, they tried to flee in haste, but the spears leisurely pierced their backs.

These would probably be quite formidable enemies for the players on the 35th Floor.

But in other words, that was the extent of their level. There was too great a difference between them and him.

Even after that, demons came several more times, but he dealt with them all simply. As a result of diligently caring for and tending to the egg, the energy felt from the egg gradually grew stronger.

“Is it almost time?”

The egg would hatch within roughly a week.

With his current senses, there were no major problems. However, since it was a very sensitive object, even more careful care would be needed. While Kang Jun-hyeok was preparing the finishing work, he felt the presence of another demon.

“Hmm?”

Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression changed for the first time.

It was strong.

A strong opponent that even he couldn’t take lightly.

“What?”

If someone of that level had come, none of the players on the 35th Floor would be able to survive. After being puzzled for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok soon realized.

The demons’ purpose was to give birth to a Dark Dragon.

There was no need to drive away players and steal the egg. They could just retreat if they thought the egg was ruined.

Since others ultimately failed to care for the egg, they could just watch from the sidelines.

But he was perfectly caring for the egg.

From the demons’ perspective, things would become urgent.

Urgent enough to deploy their secret weapon.

“Wait here for a moment.”

After briefly speaking to the egg, Kang Jun-hyeok went outside.

There was one demon with a pair of wings.

It was a devil.

The devil’s eyes sank upon confirming Kang Jun-hyeok. He opened his mouth with a voice like a groan.

“All the demons I sent died. Rumors spread that a guardian of the abandoned dragon egg had appeared. I wondered if the mother had returned… but it was a human.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m called Kang Jun-hyeok.”

“I am Rubonta. Please treat me well.”

Rubonta greeted him courteously. Deep wariness filled his eyes as he looked at Kang Jun-hyeok.

“…There were no strong ones like you on this world. Why are you protecting the egg?”

“Because that’s what I want.”

“…A pure whim?”

Rubonta’s face became complicated.

From his perspective, it was a very simple mission that would end once he hatched the corrupted dragon.

But suddenly a strange interferer had appeared. He spoke with a sigh.

“Kang Jun-hyeok. What’s behind you belongs to us demons. I’d be grateful if you would step aside as a favor.”

“You’re quite humble for a devil?”

“I’m different from other demons. There’s no reason to spill blood over a problem that can be solved through dialogue. You are nothing to the dragon. Is there a reason to risk your life protecting it?”

“What you say makes sense.”

Kang Jun-hyeok agreed. Rubonta’s face brightened. But it twisted miserably at the words that followed.

“I refuse.”

“Why?”

“It’s simple. I don’t like you.”

“…That’s absurd.”

“And don’t pretend to be peaceful. That’s not why you haven’t attacked me, is it?”

Kang Jun-hyeok grinned.

“Because I look stronger than you.”

“…We’ll have to see blood after all. You’ll regret this.”

Rubonta’s eyes turn black. Demonic energy rises in streams. Kang Jun-hyeok answers cheerfully.

“That’s what I should say.”

Whoosh!

Demonic energy spreads toward the sky like a spider web.

‘He handles demonic energy in the form of threads. And he’s woven them like a spider web.’

For demons, demonic energy was a form of divine authority.

Each individual handled it in various ways. Rubonta was handling it by spreading it thin like threads.

Slash!

The spread threads of demonic energy cut through everything. They devour space countless times while trying to catch Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly kicks off and dodges.

“No one can escape before my spider web.”

Rubonta moves his hands quickly. The threads of demonic energy move chaotically and instantly surround Kang Jun-hyeok. A perfect encirclement with no gaps.

Kang Jun-hyeok draws his sword to try cutting the threads.

Clang!

But the threads of demonic energy don’t cut easily and hold firm. Kang Jun-hyeok clicks his tongue.

[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

Boom!

Sword energy explodes and sweeps in all directions. Rubonta sneers at Kang Jun-hyeok’s response.

“You think such a shallow trick will work!”

The threads of demonic energy move smoothly. They spread like a net, dispersing the sword energy’s power and perfectly absorbing it.

Near-perfect control of power. Rubonta clenches his fist. The threads try to catch Kang Jun-hyeok like a snare.

[Thrust.]

Clang.

He thrusts with his sword, but the tightly compressed threads don’t cut.

In an instant, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body is wrapped in threads and disappears.

“Hahahaha! You let your guard down! Insignificant human! Die!”

Creak.

Rubonta burst into maniacal laughter as he put more force into his fist. The threads compressed strongly, beginning to crush Kang Jun-hyeok.

It was a powerful pressure that could instantly compress giant iron into the size of a ball. It was the moment he was certain of victory.

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

The threads began to break with creaking sounds. Intense light began to leak through the gaps. Rubonta hastily wove the threads more fiercely, but it was useless.

Kwaaaaang!

The snare was torn to pieces, and Kang Jun-hyeok appeared without a single wound.

Rubonta’s eyes widened.

“How!”

“So it’s roughly like this. Doesn’t seem to have any particularly special power. Well then, now die.”

[One-Point Pierce.]

In an instant, his body charged toward Rubonta. Rubonta hastily protected his body with threads.

Kaaaaaang!

One-Point Pierce clashed with the threads. The One-Point Pierce that hit the defense was enhanced. The threads were cut instantly, but multiple layers overlapped to firmly protect their master.

Kaaaaaang!

The defense was shattered, but the power contained in the spear disappeared.

It was the moment Rubonta thought he had blocked it.

[Reset. One-Point Pierce.]

Once again, strong power was loaded into the spear.

It pierced through Rubonta’s shoulder.

Kwaaaaang!

Without stopping there, it charged and slammed him into the wall. Kang Jun-hyeok moved above Rubonta’s head.

[Thousand Pound Weight.]

Kuuuung!

Heavy weight crushed down on Rubonta. The ground was pressed down as he coughed up blood.

“Eeeeek!”

Swoooosh!

Threads spread out roughly. In an instant, they wrapped around Kang Jun-hyeok, trying to capture his body again.

“Whew.”

Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled. Aura slowly rose.

Second sword form.

Raging Wind Heaven Slash.

Kagagagagak!

A storm of blade winds swept through. The threads of demonic energy were instantly cut away, and Rubonta’s entire body was torn apart in an instant.

“Kuh, kuhek!”

In terrible pain, Rubonta realized.

He was no match for Kang Jun-hyeok at all.

What he believed was pressure was all falling for his opponent’s intention to perfectly grasp his power.

He would die here.

‘…But!’

At least he would accomplish his purpose before leaving. Rubonta roughly raised his arm. That direction was toward the Dragon’s Nest.

“Pierce through!”

Countless woven threads became a single spear flying toward the egg.

The Demons’ purpose was the birth of the Dark Dragon.

If the spear destroyed the nest like this, surely a Dark Dragon would be born. It was too late for Kang Jun-hyeok to block it. Relief that he had accomplished his purpose appeared on Rubonta’s face.

[Crack Movement.]

[Enhancement. Anti Field.]

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moved through a crack and spread a translucent barrier.

Kagagagagak!

The barrier that collided with the spear creaked and cracks spread, but the power contained in the spear ran out before it could break.

“That was a fairly sharp attack.”

“Ha, haha…”

Rubonta lowered his arm with a dejected face. He coughed up blood and hung his head low.

[Level Up.]

[Health + 10]

[Strength + 1]

[Speed + 1]

[Internal Energy +1]

[Anti Field’s proficiency has increased.]

[One-Point Pierce’s…]

Kang Jun-hyeok put away his weapon.

A lowest grade demon with a pair of wings.

A first-tier powerhouse.

But he was a second-tier monster. He had defeated Duneshade. And he was in an even stronger state than back then. A mere lowest grade demon couldn’t stop him.

Kang Jun-hyeok returned to the nest again and began caring for the egg.

And one week later.

Finally, the egg began to hatch.

* * *

Crack crack crack.

Cracks spread across the egg. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been examining the nest, approached instantly.

[Finally hatching.]

[A dragon’s hatching. This is my first time seeing it too.]

Manbyeonggi and Eldyria muttered with excited voices. In contrast, Kang Jun-hyeok had a slightly tense expression.

‘I wonder how it will be.’

He had provided near-perfect care.

But the egg had been abandoned for too long. If he had made even the slightest mistake, a Dark Dragon could be born immediately, so he couldn’t help but be nervous.

Crack crack crack.

And finally, the egg broke and a dragon child, a Hatchling, appeared. Kang Jun-hyeok exclaimed in admiration.

“Oh.”

[It’s red.]

[It’s a Red Dragon.]

A Hatchling red like crimson flames.

It wasn’t a Dark Dragon.

He had succeeded in hatching it perfectly. Kang Jun-hyeok, with his tension released, let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s over.”

The egg had hatched.

The Quest was finished.

But no matter how long he waited, no completion window appeared.

“What?”

Kang Jun-hyeok tilted his head. Surely the Quest was to help with perfect growth? Meanwhile, the Hatchling, having completely broken out of the egg, spread its wings. Red eyes turned toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

[Kiruruuk.]

A cry flowed out.

In the gaze directed at him, there was a strange light. Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.

“Wait a minute.”

Kiiing.

The Hatchling’s form turned into light and a girl with red hair appeared. What was contained in those eyes was an infinitely deep emotion.

‘Hmm?’

Kang Jun-hyeok paused for a moment.

It was a face that seemed familiar somehow.

The girl smiled brightly. With a twisted smile, she spread her arms toward Kang Jun-hyeok. Before Kang Jun-hyeok could say anything, she pulled him into an embrace.
