All Master of 100 Floors Episode 171
36th Floor. Madman (3)
“What must I do to earn your recognition?”
“It’s not difficult. If what you said is true, it’ll be very easy.”
The Madman grinned wickedly.
“This is an abandoned battlefield. A place where Victors and losers once fought fiercely and no one achieved victory. That’s exactly why I chose this place.”
Countless things have been left behind and abandoned here.
It was an environment perfectly optimized for the Madman to conduct his experiments. He raised his finger.
“Go east from here. There’s a fatty guarding that place. Kill it and come back. Since you said you’d clear the Tower, you should be able to handle at least that much, right?”
“Of course.”
Kang Jun-hyeok nodded. The Madman chuckled and plopped down heavily.
“I’ll wait here. Come back when you’ve caught it.”
“Please wait for me.”
Kang Jun-hyeok began moving toward the location the Madman had indicated. Eldyria let out a small sigh of relief.
[Isn’t that too bold? Even though you threatened him, even I would find it difficult to directly intervene in the Tower. If that bastard tries to kill you directly, there’s no way to stop him.]
“It was probably a bluff from the start. There’s nothing to worry about.”
The Madman had only gone mad from his obsession with Victors; his thinking itself wasn’t broken. Rather, he was someone who could assess more coldly than anyone what actions would benefit him.
Along the path he traveled, there were all sorts of bizarre things.
Fragments of Victors mixed with cosmic matter created indescribable forms.
It was extremely alien. Despite clearly being in the universe, it felt like he had moved to a completely disconnected place.
[Still feels disgusting.]
[Not pleasant indeed.]
Both Eldyria and Manbyeonggi showed displeasure. It was a sight that any cosmic being would instinctively reject.
However, Kang Jun-hyeok was extremely relaxed, as peaceful as if he were taking a stroll through a small hill behind his house.
Eldyria muttered with curiosity.
[You look familiar with this.]
“Do I?”
[Yes. You look like you’ve seen places like this many times before.]
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled silently.
It wasn’t wrong.
Rather, he had rarely seen what a normal universe looked like.
After the Tower closed, this kind of scenery was the norm for the universe.
He had spent most of his life living in such broken worlds.
‘But.’
This time will be different.
This time he won’t let it become like that. Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward with determination.
And at the end, he encountered it.
A yellow pig the size of a house.
[You have encountered a fragment of the Great War’s Victor, Yellow Pig.]
* * *
The pig’s color was extremely bizarre.
Like fluorescent paint forcibly applied, it was a color that couldn’t exist naturally. The pig had its head buried in the ground, making crying sounds.
[The yellow fatty.]
[It was called by that name too. It’s been a while.]
The Yellow Pig was literally a yellow-colored pig. Among the Victors, it was one of the few that resembled a cosmic being. With its somewhat cute appearance, some Players used to call it the yellow fatty.
[Oink. Oink.]
The pig kept shoving something into its mouth while keeping its head buried in the ground.
Kang Jun-hyeok took a step forward.
Crunch.
[Oink?]
With the sound of ground being stepped on, the pig flinches. It quickly raises its head to look at Kang Jun-hyeok.
[Squeeeeeal!]
And the ground ripples.
With a crater, the pig flies toward Kang Jun-hyeok. Its gaping maw was filled with blackness, looking like an abyss.
Chill.
Death line detection activates.
If he enters that maw, he dies.
Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off the ground. With a roar, the pig buries its head in empty ground.
Ruuuumble!
The ground shakes. The pig that instantly chewed and swallowed what entered its mouth kicks with its hind legs again. It charges toward Kang Jun-hyeok like a train.
Fast and strong. If he lets his guard down, he won’t be able to dodge. Kang Jun-hyeok evades while raising his arm. A laser rifle appears in his hand.
Whiiiiine!
The laser shot toward the pig.
The pig didn’t dodge and opened its mouth. The laser was swallowed by the abyss inside its maw.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Sounds like chewing, like digesting, echoed.
[Burp.]
The pig burped as if satisfied.
The pig had swallowed and digested the laser itself. It hadn’t blocked or absorbed the attack. It had literally devoured it.
‘Still the same.’
Victor. Yellow Pig.
Its ability was to devour all things in the world.
That thing could eat not just simple force but even concepts. The abyss inside its open maw made everything disappear meaninglessly.
Attacks directed inward were completely meaningless.
But that didn’t mean attacking the exterior had any meaning either.
Ruuuumble!
The pig kicks off again.
Barely dodging the charging assault, he draws his spear.
[Thrust.]
The sharp spear pierces the pig’s side.
Clang!
But it bounces off. Repulsion occurs and strikes Kang Jun-hyeok. He grabs his flying body with Balance.
It didn’t feel like it bounced off due to lack of strength or speed.
Like an image reflecting in a mirror, it felt like bouncing off was a natural phenomenon. Kang Jun-hyeok thought while dodging the charge.
‘This is the same too. A fragment doesn’t differ from the main body.’
The Yellow Pig’s exterior boasted absolute defense. That wasn’t an empty boast. No being in the universe had ever wounded that yellow skin.
It wasn’t simply a concept of being hard or having high defense.
It was an absolute concept that bounced back everything that touched it.
All attacks directed inward are devoured.
All attacks directed outward are perfectly repelled.
An ability bordering on unreasonable.
Kang Jun-hyeok used ‘Observation’ on his opponent. But no answer came. It wasn’t an opponent he could understand with mere B-rank proficiency.
This was a Victor that had conquered the universe.
Countless cosmic beings and Players had despaired at its power and knelt.
And Kang Jun-hyeok had killed countless such Victors.
He tightened his grip on his sword.
* * *
Crash!
The ground shatters. The Yellow Pig devours everything that enters its mouth. Then immediately charges at Kang Jun-hyeok.
Kang Jun-hyeok doesn’t dodge.
He waits until the limit, then throws a gem into the pig’s mouth. Just before it swallows, his body moves through the cracks.
[Crack Movement.]
Kuuuung!
The gem explodes inside the pig’s mouth.
For a normal being, this would be close to fatal, but the pig digests it without issue and burps.
Kang Jun-hyeok analyzed the phenomenon that occurred with a cold, expressionless face.
What he threw was a high-purity ruby gem. It had the power to devastate part of the forest.
The time it took for the Yellow Pig to digest that power was 3 seconds.
‘At this level.’
He can catch it. Kang Jun-hyeok stood still in place. Eldyria was surprised by his seemingly giving-up appearance.
[Kang Jun-hyeok?]
Kuuuung!
The Yellow Pig charged forward.
Toward the bottomless pit that rushed right before his nose, Kang Jun-hyeok raised his hand.
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]
[Reset. Enhancement. Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]
[Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear.]
The god’s great divine authority bursts forth consecutively. It gets sucked into the bottomless pit that devours everything. The Yellow Pig’s body instantly swells up.
[Kueok. Kueoeoeoek.]
It chews and tries to swallow the arising power. But no matter how much it digests and digests, its swelling body grows even larger.
And.
Crack.
With a breaking sound, the Yellow Pig lets out a scream.
[Kueoeoeoeoek!]
The Yellow Pig vomits out the power. The half-digested forces pour out like churning liquid. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly steps back.
“As expected.”
[You figured it out well.]
Manbyeonggi muttered in surprise.
Yellow Pig.
It swallows and digests power, and bounces back all force directed at its skin.
It possessed abilities close to invincibility, but a clear weakness existed.
That was the fact that there was a limit to the power it could digest at once.
When exceeding the limit, it vomits out the power and suffers internal injuries. Targeting that part was exactly the strategy for conquering the Yellow Pig.
Manbyeonggi spoke in a tone of disbelief.
[Well now. Still amazing as always. Can this really be called simple intuition?]
The Master of the Universe had completely blocked the transmission of strategy methods for the Victors. There was no choice but to learn by clashing bodies one by one. Yet Kang Jun-hyeok was immediately figuring it out and responding. It was incomprehensible.
But that was natural.
Long ago. How did ancestors distinguish poisonous mushrooms?
The answer is simple.
If you ate it and died, it was a poisonous mushroom; if you lived, it was an edible mushroom.
Throughout the long history, they barely managed to distinguish and find answers.
And what Kang Jun-hyeok had walked through was the history of the universe’s destruction.
‘Yellow Pig.’
The time it took just to figure out that strategy was one year. The players who died were one thousand eight hundred.
‘Hunger Growing in the Cracks.’
The time it took to grasp the only way to counter Crack Movement was four years. The players who died were five thousand two hundred.
The number of players who died to the Empire from Somewhere’s warships was over ten million.
He knew the strategies for the Victors.
More precisely, he couldn’t afford not to know.
He had to know.
Otherwise, the past he had walked, the previous life that only he remembered, would disappear meaninglessly in vain.
[Kueek!]
The staggering pig gets up again and charges. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly evades.
“Still not enough power.”
That was fine though. Damage would eventually accumulate inside the Yellow Pig. He just needed to slowly build it up.
The cooldown for Lost God’s Divine Radiance was 3 days.
“It’ll be quite a long battle.”
Kang Jun-hyeok muttered quietly.
The battle continued.
Kang Jun-hyeok responded perfectly to the Yellow Pig.
He grasped its movements and behavioral principles and evaded. When power accumulated, he precisely detonated it toward the interior.
It was truly perfect.
A response that seemed like it would be written in textbooks, as if repeated thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of times. Manbyeonggi and Eldyria unconsciously let out groans.
And exactly 12 days later.
[Kueeeeek….]
The Yellow Pig collapsed.
[Level Up.]
[Health + 40]
[Strength + 2]
[Speed + 1]
[Internal Energy + 1]
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance proficiency has greatly increased.]
[Sword Technique…]
[Title: Victor Slayer has been acquired.]
