All Master of 100 Floors Episode 175
38th Floor. Fairy Village (3)
He heightens all his senses. He observes his opponent and prepares to respond to attacks.
Just how would the attack come?
Kang Jun-hyeok considered every possibility.
Pixie’s illusion was staring blankly at Kang Jun-hyeok.
The illusion had received only one mission.
To protect the tree.
All behavioral principles moved according to that.
Therefore, the illusion thought.
Does the human before my eyes pose a threat to the tree?
The answer came immediately. He posed no threat at all. There wasn’t even a need to pay attention. A massive barrier formed in front of the illusion that had made its decision.
“Hmm?”
Kang Jun-hyeok hesitated. Puzzled by the illusion’s response, he soon realized.
The illusion had no intention of fighting at all.
“Well, I’ll be.”
He tapped the barrier with an incredulous expression. Though it appeared very thin on the surface, magical power was compressed infinitely within it. It felt like a mass of ice hundreds of meters thick.
‘The tree’s magical power.’
The tree’s magical power, accumulated over a long time, was beyond category.
The barrier deployed by controlling that power was something he couldn’t break through in his current state.
“This is unexpected.”
Who would have thought it would refuse to fight entirely. If it tried to attack him, he could look for an opening, but if it shut itself in completely, there was no answer.
The illusion’s eyes were completely empty.
She wasn’t looking at him. It was as if he had no value or meaning whatsoever.
An attitude bordering on disregard.
But Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t get angry.
He simply thought calmly.
“Hmm.”
A tree that had absorbed and amplified surrounding magical power for thousands of years.
The magical power contained within it was close to a bottomless pit.
That was connected to the illusion.
He had to sever that connection.
He had to drag the illusion down to his domain.
What would be best for that purpose?
After thinking for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.
“Wait for me.”
Kang Jun-hyeok turned and left. Even during this, the illusion showed no movement.
She was an illusion created by Pixie.
Self-awareness existed, but that was all. She couldn’t feel any particular emotions. She placed no value on the human who had just attacked her either.
The only command given to her was to protect the tree.
There was no time limit to that. Even if the tree continued growing and devoured the entire planet, and the planet finally met its doom, she would still be protecting the tree.
As she was spending time meaninglessly like that, the illusion realized.
The human who had attacked her just moments ago was climbing high up the tree and attacking its branches.
It was a meaningless act. The branches were merely peripheral parts. Cutting them would have no effect. Just as the illusion was about to ignore it.
“…”
Her expression changed for the first time.
Poison was entering the tree through the severed parts.
It wasn’t crude poison. Poison capable of corrupting and destroying worlds. It was sufficient to affect the main body that was the tree.
The illusion moved immediately. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled as if pleased.
“Hello? Coming here means my actions are threatening, right?”
Kang Jun-hyeok swung his sword.
He had previously defeated a mature Duneshade.
And he had captured the poison contained in its tail into his weapon.
Poison was one of the properties most hostile to life. Moreover, Duneshade’s poison was an extreme toxin that could kill thousands of people with just one drop. Even a mystical tree would be sufficiently affected.
The human before her eyes could interfere with her mission. The illusion’s expression changed. Just as magical power gathered to exclude Kang Jun-hyeok, Kang Jun-hyeok snapped his fingers.
“Then follow me diligently.”
[Crack Movement.]
His body disappeared.
Without any wave of energy, perfectly.
The illusion’s eyes widened. Soon she could feel an attack directed at the tree from a completely different location. She moved immediately, but considerable damage was dealt to the tree in the meantime.
“You came? Then see you again in 5 minutes.”
[Stealth.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moved beyond the illusion’s detection range.
The illusion stood still with an incredulous expression.
And exactly 5 minutes later.
Kang Jun-hyeok appeared again and attacked the tree. She moved quickly to attempt defense, but he escaped again using Crack Movement. The illusion’s face slowly hardened.
Kuguuuuung!
Magical power surged and shook everything around. Truly overwhelming magical force. Even Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t defend against it.
So he simply evaded.
[Stealth.]
The tree was massive.
Its circumference alone was several kilometers, and it soared high into the clouds above.
No matter how much of an illusion she was, she needed time to come and go.
In contrast, Kang Jun-hyeok had Crack Movement. He could move without any delay, and unpredictably. In such situations, he demonstrated power close to absolute.
[Hmm.]
[How unpleasant. It brings back bad memories.]
Manbyeonggi and Eldyria muttered sourly as if recalling the past when they fought against Hunger Growing in the Cracks.
No matter how much she tried to block, he moved freely and attacked the tree. Poison was slowly accumulating in the tree.
The illusion frowned. Irritation appeared in her expression.
Wooooong!
A massive barrier surrounded the tree. From roots to branches. Everything perfectly. Kang Jun-hyeok had an expression as if he’d expected this.
“That’s how you should respond.”
If you can’t block it, protect everything. But the consumption of power is correspondingly great. Kang Jun-hyeok appeared before the illusion. The illusion showed a frowning expression.
“It’s strange seeing you make that face with Pixie’s appearance.”
Kang Jun-hyeok spoke lightly and examined his opponent’s strength.
The power felt from the current illusion wasn’t remarkable. Most of her magical power was being devoted to protecting the tree.
He had succeeded in dragging his opponent down to his domain.
Kang Jun-hyeok cheerfully drew his sword.
[Judgment of Law.]
“Then let’s do this properly now.”
Kang Jun-hyeok tenses his entire body. He prepares to respond to his opponent’s attacks.
The magical power he feels is at most between first and second rank.
In terms of pure power struggle, he could win easily.
But his opponent is a Transcendent’s illusion.
She possesses that knowledge and technique.
‘I wonder how she’ll come at me.’
The illusion moves her magical power with a hardened expression.
Keeing.
Mana begins to materialize. Soon, a box about the size of a human fist is created. It floats around Illusion like a drone.
Keeeeeng!
And light flies toward Kang Jun-hyeok from the mana box.
The power contained within wasn’t particularly impressive. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly raised his sword to block it.
But the moment it touched his sword, Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression changed.
Kagagagagak!
With an intense roar, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body slides backward. Kang Jun-hyeok puts strength into his arms. But even so, he can’t block it. He grits his teeth.
Kaaang!
Only by drawing upon his internal energy could he barely deflect it. Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression hardened.
Keeeeeng.
Light pours out simultaneously from the boxes floating in the air. Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off the ground.
Kwagagagagang!
The ground is crushed and destroyed. A scene of intense destruction. Kang Jun-hyeok grips his sword.
[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]
Kwagagagagang!
Sword qi rises sharply and collides with the lights. The power contained in the sword qi was more than enough to shatter the lights.
But what shattered were the sword qi.
Kaaaang!
The sword qi instantly shatter like glass. The lights trace trajectories, sweeping in all directions to target Kang Jun-hyeok. He hastily raises his sword.
Kwaaaaang!
With an intense collision sound, Kang Jun-hyeok is knocked backward.
“…Ha.”
He clicks his tongue while shaking his throbbing arm muscles.
The amount of mana itself was at most between first and second tier.
It was a level that Kang Jun-hyeok could crush with force.
But the one being pushed back was him. The reason was simple.
‘What the hell did you weave together?’
The box was forcibly weaving and combining mana to forcibly raise its quality and purity. Even that was difficult enough to defend against.
Kang Jun-hyeok has an Observation Skill with B-rank proficiency.
He could know the answers about all things in the world.
But even that Observation Skill couldn’t give him answers about the box.
A representative case when the Observation Skill didn’t activate was when facing the Victors.
This meant that Pixie’s box possessed laws comparable to the Victors. Manbyeonggi muttered.
[Mana box. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one. It was one of her specialties.]
Keeeeeng!
Light pours out from the box again. Evasion is the right answer rather than blocking. Kang Jun-hyeok moves his body quickly. While doing so, he instantly targets an opening.
[Crack Movement.]
He moves behind Illusion and thrusts his sword.
At that moment, the mana box moves.
Kagagagagagak!
The box that collided with the sword firmly protects Pixie. Kang Jun-hyeok clicks his tongue.
‘The box itself can become a shield too.’
It was even solid. It was hard enough that it would be difficult to even scratch unless considerable force was applied.
Keeeeeng!
Light pours out. Kang Jun-hyeok activates Block to defend. He uses Balance to steady his swaying, pushed-back body.
Kugugugugung!
Light shakes everything around.
Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off the ground. Despite being a simple attack, it’s difficult to avoid. He draws upon his internal energy to quickly twist his body.
But even so, he can’t avoid everything. One light strikes Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder. He grimaces from the strong impact.
The stamina consumed when hit by one strike was 300.
If he allowed just six hits, all his stamina would be consumed.
‘This is troublesome.’
Kang Jun-hyeok was calmly assessing Illusion’s power.
But Illusion was doing the same.
The opponent’s power cannot block the box’s light. Also cannot penetrate the box’s defense.
Then crush with force.
Having finished her judgment, Illusion flicks her hand. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widen.
Mana begins to materialize one by one, and seven boxes appear in the air.
‘She wasn’t limited to handling just one?’
Keeeeeng!
Instantly, lights pour toward Kang Jun-hyeok.
When there was one, it wasn’t easy to handle, but now it increased to seven. Each box moves complexly as if having its own consciousness, trying to kill him. Death Line Awakening activates and his stats are enhanced. He moves his body quickly while evading. The entire area is instantly devastated.
Avoiding everything is impossible.
Then rather attack.
He steps forward, targeting the gap between the pouring lights.
[One-Point Pierce.]
Kuuung!
Instantly the ground caves in and his body transcends sound. The sharp spear tip tries to pierce through Illusion’s neck.
The mana box flies at high speed to protect her. Kang Jun-hyeok puts even more strength into his arms.
When One-Point Pierce reached E-rank proficiency, an effect was added that delivers a strong impact when the opponent defends.
And one more.
[Thrust.]
Kagagagak!
Even stronger force is applied to the mana box. The box can’t withstand it and cracks begin to spread. Kang Jun-hyeok tries to shatter it completely.
At that moment.
Snap.
Illusion flicks her finger.
The mana box splits apart, dividing into smaller box forms.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widen. The split smaller boxes instantly restrain Kang Jun-hyeok. And the other six boxes surround him.
Keeeeeng!
Light engulfed Kang Jun-hyeok.
