All Master of 100 Floors Episode 176

38th Floor. Fairy Village (4)

Intense power exploded. It was a force dense enough to literally erase matter.

Illusion’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

Despite taking a direct hit from such power, Kang Jun-hyeok was still alive. He landed on the floor, cutting through the remnants of the force.

He had barely managed to defend with Anti Field.

But even that was close. He couldn’t defend perfectly and took considerable damage. After recovering with Grace of Compassion, he created distance.

‘Can it split into smaller boxes too.’

It dispersed the applied force and surrounded the opponent. It was quite a versatile ability. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

Kiiiiing!

The seven boxes moved again. Wielding light, they occupied space like drones.

Kang Jun-hyeok coolly worked his mind.

Seven boxes floating through the air, pressuring him.

Those weren’t spirits or anything like that. They were a type of magic created with advanced techniques, possessing no self-consciousness.

In other words, Illusion was controlling each box’s movement individually.

Each box would require calculations equivalent to a modern computer. And she was wielding seven of them. It was unbelievable processing power.

‘But she can’t be comfortable.’

Ultimately, it was an ability that had to be controlled and handled by an individual.

Handling seven of them must be putting considerable load on Illusion. She was likely at a precarious point.

Then his response was simple.

Create a load on Illusion’s computational ability.

Tap.

With his reasoning complete, Kang Jun-hyeok kicked off. Illusion hesitated for a moment. Kang Jun-hyeok’s movement had completely changed from before. More meticulous, more sharp.

Illusion flicked her finger. The boxes instantly began responding to match Kang Jun-hyeok’s changed movement.

Kiiiiing!

Kang Jun-hyeok quickly lowered his stance, charging like a beast.

[Stealth.]

His body disappeared completely.

After hesitating briefly, Illusion immediately gathered the boxes and unleashed power in all directions. The area was crushed and annihilated.

But it didn’t reach Kang Jun-hyeok.

The reason was simple.

He hadn’t approached in the first place.

While pretending to charge, the moment he activated Stealth, he had immediately retreated. Illusion had unleashed power wildly while being wary of his approach, but that itself was Kang Jun-hyeok’s aim.

Tap.

Targeting the moment when she had expended power, he approached again.

Illusion quickly recalled the boxes. She deployed them around her body, forming absolute defense.

The moment Kang Jun-hyeok’s body came within close range.

[Crack Movement.]

His body moved to behind Illusion.

Illusion was momentarily flustered but responded quickly. She turned her body and began moving the boxes to attack.

At that response, Kang Jun-hyeok smiled quietly.

Gems fell from behind Illusion’s back.

Kwagagagagang!

The gems exploded, engulfing Illusion. Before activating Crack Movement, he had thrown several gems into the air. He had designed it so that when she tried to respond to him, the gems she hadn’t noticed would explode and strike her.

Kugugugugung!

The explosion subsided. There were no wounds on Illusion’s body. She had reflexively moved the boxes and successfully defended.

“So you respond to this much.”

Then more chaotically.

More quickly.

Kang Jun-hyeok put strength into his clenched fist.

Kagagagagak!

The battle continued. Like a beast, he wielded power in all directions, targeting Illusion. Illusion roughly moved her fingers, controlling the boxes.

Illusion’s main power was using the boxes to dominate space. She would preemptively seize and suppress spaces for movement, guiding the opponent’s actions.

Control over environment and situation.

That was precisely Illusion’s main battle strategy.

Therefore, he made the situation chaotic. He stripped away her control ability and made her computational speed unable to keep up.

It was by no means easy. Simply put, it meant he had to control the situation from a level above his opponent.

The crumbling ground.

Light Trajectory.

With the abilities he possessed, how could he lead the situation?

Perceive everything within the space, process variables, and predict the future.

That was beyond the realm of human capability.

His head throbbed. His overloaded, overheated brain screamed for him to stop, but he lightly ignored it.

[Repulsion.]

Kiiiiing!

The pouring Light Trajectory bent. With light grazing past his body, he charged forward.

[Charge.]

Kuuuung!

Kang Jun-hyeok rushed at high speed. At the same time, spears flew through the air. Illusion moved the boxes to protect her body.

[Immovable Stance.]

[Spear Throwing.]

[Spear Throwing.]

At that moment, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body stopped abruptly.

At the movement that defied physical laws, Illusion momentarily lost control. Targeting that gap, the spears pierced sharply.

Kagagagak!

She somehow managed to move the boxes and defend, but that movement was clearly slower than before.

In that moment, Kang Jun-hyeok approached one of the boxes. He placed his fist against it and applied force.

[High-Output Gauntlet From Somewhere.]

Jjeoeoeoeoeng!

With intense power, a sound like the world tearing rang out. A hole close to a lake formed in the already damaged ground.

Kugugugugung…

After the power subsided, Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.

“Finally broke one.”

The box that took the direct hit was miserably destroyed. If it had been Illusion under normal circumstances, she would have split the box to disperse the force, but as a result of Kang Jun-hyeok making the situation chaotic, her reaction had been delayed.

Tap.

He immediately kicked off. He approached another box at high speed. Illusion didn’t just take it lying down either. She immediately split the box and expanded it.

But that was exactly what Kang Jun-hyeok had been aiming for.

The boxes could split to disperse force.

But conversely, it meant their strength was weaker than before splitting.

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

Intense light arose and engulfed the world. The fragments of the split box burned and fell away.

Lost God’s Divine Radiance was a wide-range power emission. Since the power wasn’t concentrated, it couldn’t destroy the boxes. But if they were split like this, it had sufficient power to destroy them.

“Five left now.”

Two boxes were destroyed and five remained.

Illusion’s face became urgent. She gathered the boxes together and fired intense light.

Kiiiiiing!

Fast, strong. And large. He couldn’t dodge without injury.

Then he would face it head-on.

[Enhancement. Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear.]

[Reset. One-Point Pierce.]

Along with the spear imbued with mighty divine authority, he gathers all his internal energy and thrusts.

Kagagagagak!

The massive light and spear collide. In an instant, his body breaks down and tries to be pushed back.

But he puts strength into his feet and endures. He gathers his internal energy to give more power to the spear.

First sword form.

Raging Wind Heaven Slash.

Kwaaaaang!

The powerful force bursts forth directly. The entire area is swept away and the aftershock reaches even the Fairy Village. The fairies scream in terror.

Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t withstand the force and retreated five steps.

But the boxes also couldn’t withstand the force and were split apart. More precisely, Illusion had deliberately split them to disperse the impact.

But that was a misjudgment. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes turned red.

[True Ancestor Awakening.]

He gains absolute dominion over blood. Blood water shakes all directions. It devours space itself and grabs the split boxes.

Thud.

He approaches toward Illusion who has become bare-bodied.

Illusion hastily retreats while trying to gather the boxes. Kang Jun-hyeok tries to block using blood water but it’s insufficient. The boxes creak as they crush the blood water.

When Kang Jun-hyeok reached within arm’s reach of Illusion, the boxes were also just one step away from gathering right in front of her.

“Huu.”

Kang Jun-hyeok caught his breath.

Second sword form.

World-Shaking Wind Descent.

Kwaaaaang!

He gathers his last remaining internal energy to bring down a storm. The boxes scatter in all directions. Kang Jun-hyeok grabs Illusion’s shoulder.

Puuk.

The sword pierces through her chest.

Illusion hesitates. Trembling, she raises her hand to touch Kang Jun-hyeok’s face. Tremendous power begins to gather in that hand.

But she cannot crush Kang Jun-hyeok’s head and limply falls.

[Level Up.]

[Health + 50]

[Strength + 4]

[Speed + 5]

[Internal Energy + 3]

[Mana + 2]

[Death Line Awakening proficiency has greatly increased.]

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance proficiency has increased.]

[Arcana Jam Magic’s…]

[Passive Skill: Control has been acquired.]

“…Huu!”

Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled the breath he had been holding.

“I barely won.”

It was truly close.

If Illusion’s response had been just a little faster, or if she had just a little more strength left at the end, it would have been quite dangerous. He hadn’t expected to be pushed this hard by a mere illusion of Pixie, who wasn’t even a Victor.

But contrary to his thoughts, Manbyeonggi and Eldyria were quite surprised by his victory.

[Impressive. I never expected you to win so cleanly.]

[That was merely Pixie’s illusion. Her magical power was pathetic and her computational ability was inferior. She could only handle seven boxes at most, but it’s remarkable.]

“Are you congratulating me, or saying the opponent was pathetic?”

[It’s congratulations in the pure sense. Even so, that was her illusion. To mortal beings, she’s a higher-dimensional existence. Truly impressive.]

Eldyria spoke as if proud. Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the place where Illusion had fallen. The magic had dispersed and nothing remained there.

“If it had been the real her, how many of those boxes would she have controlled?”

[From what I know, over a hundred. I don’t know beyond that.]

“I see.”

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh.

She wielded over a hundred boxes simultaneously, each terrifyingly powerful on its own. Just imagining it gave him chills.

But at the same time, he felt a strange emotion.

Floating around the master, excluding enemies and attacking. On top of that, excellent defense. It was an ability close to omnipotent, only requiring the burden to be endured.

‘I want to have it.’

Desire gleamed in his eyes.

But there was nothing he could do about it right now. He would have to discuss it after returning to Earth. Kang Jun-hyeok got up and headed toward the village.

“H-how did it go?”

The fairies approached making a fuss. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke lightly.

“I defeated The One’s illusion. There is no longer a guardian protecting the tree.”

“…O, ooh!”

“Waaaaah!”

“I believed in you!”

“Actually I was half-doubtful! Even for you, I thought it would be hard to win against The One’s illusion!”

“How honest of you.”

“But you won! Wow! We survived!”

The fairies cheered and praised Kang Jun-hyeok.

It was a reaction indicating the Quest had ended successfully.
