All Master of 100 Floors Episode 177
38th Floor. Fairy Village (5)
The Quest was over, but he couldn’t return to Earth right away.
There was cleanup to be done.
Kang Jun-hyeok had applied Duneshade’s poison to the tree. If left alone, it would seep into the roots and kill the entire tree.
So Kang Jun-hyeok cut away all the parts where the poison had been applied. Though contaminated, the tree was so massive that it wouldn’t be damaged to a critical degree. After finishing all the cleanup, he met with the Village Chief again.
“Wow. Really amazing. I’ve fought The One’s Illusion before too, you know. I couldn’t last even a few minutes and got chased away.”
The Village Chief couldn’t properly handle even a single box. If Pixie hadn’t given the order not to kill fairies, she would have been buried underground long ago.
“The tree will continue to grow in the future, but… without The One’s Illusion, we can manage it ourselves. This place will become a fertile land of miracles. It’s all thanks to you.”
The Village Chief smiled brightly and waved her hand.
“Well then, farewell! Thank you!”
She said her goodbye.
Kang Jun-hyeok hesitated.
“Don’t you have anything to give me?”
“Huh? You came here at The One’s request, didn’t you? What you resolved was ultimately The One’s mistake. You just made the situation return to normal, right?”
“…”
It wasn’t wrong.
But it left a bitter taste. Seeing that expression, the Village Chief smiled broadly.
“Just kidding! Just kidding! There’s no way I’d treat The One’s representative poorly!”
“Haha. Funny joke.”
“Right? Here! Take this!”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a dry laugh. The Village Chief handed him a thick root with a delighted expression. It contained powerful magic power.
“It’s the oldest among the tree’s roots. It holds the magic power of origin. Honestly, I’ve never seen magic power of this purity before.”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a small exclamation. As the Village Chief said, it was considerable magic power. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the inner core of a monster that had aged for thousands of years.
“And this!”
The Village Chief handed him a necklace as big as her own torso.
“It’s quite large.”
“Long, long ago. Our ancestors made this. They said that someday harmony with humans would be achieved, and to give this as a gift when that time came. Unfortunately, our ancestors’ faith was never fulfilled.”
Still, it was the perfect item to give as a gift to someone. Kang Jun-hyeok, who received the necklace, was impressed. It was an artifact embedded with numerous gems and containing magic power on its own. Its value was hard to express in words.
“And humans value gems highly, right? Take them! They’re our gems!”
“Oh. Thank you.”
He could obtain quite a few gems too. They weren’t ordinary gems. They had been kept in Fairy Village, so they had high purity and contained magic power on their own.
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled as he collected the rewards. Only then did the Village Chief sincerely wave her hand in farewell.
“Thank you! Truly. Please give my regards to The One!”
[38th 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 granted.]
[5,922 gold has been granted.]
[Perfect Clear reward [Fairies’ Gems] acquired.]
[Perfect Clear reward [Title: Benefactor of Fairies] acquired.]
[Perfect Clear reward [Root of Magic Power] acquired.]
[Perfect Clear reward [Necklace: Promise Necklace] acquired.]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 38th Floor: 1 person.]
[You are alone!]
[Universe Announcement.]
[Congratulations! Everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 38th Floor has appeared. This is an achievement no one has accomplished until now!]
[Great Achievement + 5]
Kang Jun-hyeok, who returned to Earth, began checking his rewards.
[Title: Benefactor of Fairies]
[A title given to you who bestowed great favor upon the fairies.]
[Fairies hold favorable feelings toward you.]
Fairies were quite hostile to other races, especially humans. Even fairy players didn’t trust human players to that extent.
He had Pixie’s Wings, but there was no guarantee things would go as smoothly as this time. In that sense, it was a very good title.
[Root of Magic Power]
[Grade: Advanced]
[A root containing powerful and high-purity magic power.]
A material item. He had already decided where to use it. Next, Kang Jun-hyeok fiddled with the necklace.
[Promise Necklace]
[Part: Necklace]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Speed + 5]
[Magic Power + 10]
[Defense + 10]
[A necklace made by fairies for the harmonious occasion they believed would someday come. Unfortunately, the necklace was never used until they perished.]
“Oh.”
Kang Jun-hyeok made a sound.
Even though it wasn’t a weapon, it had magic power stats attached.
Among the Tower’s stats, attack power literally handled physical attacks.
And magic power was responsible for the power of magical attacks.
But Kang Jun-hyeok wasn’t a mage. His main weapons were physical weapons like spears and swords. Though he could freely draw them through Manbyeonggi, it wasn’t easy during urgent combat.
Therefore, Kang Jun-hyeok’s magic was less powerful than that of typical mage players. In that sense, it was extremely rare equipment, and excellent.
The effect of the Perfect Player title was Mana + 1.
And there were other rewards besides the clear rewards.
A passive skill obtained by winning the battle against the fairy. It was Control.
‘Finally got it.’
[Passive Skill: Control]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: F]
[Control ability over all things. You gain powerful control over yourself and your surrounding environment.]
An intermediate passive skill obtained after Death Angle Awakening.
Its effect was control over environment and self.
Control meant exactly what it sounded like. It helped him perceive and understand everything around him, and control it in the direction he desired.
If Observation Skill found the answers he sought, Control Skill dominated the environment.
Not only did control over surroundings increase, but self-control also improved. When he tried moving his internal energy as a test, he could control its movement, flow, and power almost perfectly. Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.
‘It’s a good skill.’
It was correspondingly difficult to obtain. You had to defeat opponents of higher rank while maintaining perfect control of the situation multiple times to barely acquire it. It was worth the intermediate grade, and most Players never obtained it at all.
“Now then.”
This was where it really began. Manbyeonggi smiled quietly.
[I’m looking forward to this.]
“Shop Owner.”
Space split apart and Pixie appeared.
Unlike before, she seemed to be cautiously watching for reactions, as if she had something to feel guilty about.
[…How did it go?]
“It would be better if you saw for yourself.”
Kang Jun-hyeok extended his hand. Pixie sighed deeply and placed her finger on it. The memories of the 38th Floor were transmitted to her.
[Ah… so that’s what happened.]
Pixie muttered with an ambiguous expression.
[You resolved it successfully. And those children were still believing in and following me. Mmm. I feel even more sorry now.]
[Why did you neglect it?]
[Ugh. They seemed to be struggling, so I gave them a gift before leaving. I even left behind my illusion just in case. …But I didn’t set a growth limit.]
The tree would have grown.
Devouring the Fairy Forest, and beyond that.
Enough to consume the planet beyond the continent.
Pixie spoke in a dying voice.
[That’s how… that place was destroyed.]
[Hah.]
Eldyria let out a bitter laugh.
[You made a very basic mistake. To help mortals, you must move coldly and decisively. You must calculate the aftermath of power. To think you couldn’t even follow such basic principles. How utterly ridiculous.]
[Ugh, uuugh.]
Pixie groaned as if she had nothing to say in response.
“The destruction of a planet, is it.”
A single mistake had destroyed a planet.
He knew well that those called Transcendents possessed such power, but hearing it after so long brought new feelings.
‘There was a reason the fairies were so quiet.’
Pixie was someone deeply respected by the fairies. Her terrible mistake had destroyed a planet. From the fairies’ perspective, it must have been a floor they couldn’t bear to speak of. Pixie sighed.
[It was my terrible mistake. The Tower Master really has bad taste. Still… thank you. Thanks to you, at least in that place, they were able to live peaceful lives. Thank you.]
Pixie expressed her gratitude sincerely.
[500 Starlight.]
“Oh.”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s face brightened. Perhaps because he had prevented her mistake, it was the highest amount of Starlight yet.
[You’re over 2000 now, right? Nothing you want to buy?]
“I didn’t have anything originally, but now I do.”
Kang Jun-hyeok said with a grin.
“The magic boxes that your illusion handled. I want to obtain those.”
Pixie hesitated at Kang Jun-hyeok’s words.
[Huh. Those?]
“Those exact boxes.”
He nodded.
Their durability was considerable too. Enough to block his attacks. The power of the light they wielded was also incredibly strong. It was even possible to control dozens simultaneously.
They possessed both offensive and defensive power, like panels from a robot anime. It was very powerful magic. At Kang Jun-hyeok’s words, Pixie made a reluctant expression.
[Hmm… mmm.]
The magic boxes were magic that no one else could handle, created by herself.
They were one of her prides, so even for Kang Jun-hyeok, she couldn’t help but hesitate. Kang Jun-hyeok grinned.
“In case you forgot, I Perfect Cleared the 38th Floor. I know everything about it.”
Where and how he revealed it was Kang Jun-hyeok’s freedom.
Understanding the meaning of those words, Pixie’s face hardened. She hurriedly nodded.
[Fine. Originally I wasn’t planning to give you this much, but since you saved them, I should do at least this much. Here! Take it!]
[Pixie’s Magic Box]
[Grade: Advanced]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: None]
[Consumes mana to summon high-dimensional Pixie boxes. There is no limit to the number of boxes that can be summoned.]
[3,000 Starlight.]
“3,000 Starlight.”
The Starlight he currently had was 2,410.
He could obtain it after clearing just two or three more floors. Kang Jun-hyeok was satisfied.
“Good. Wait for me.”
[But you want to get this? It’s powerful, but quite difficult to use. Sorry to say this, but with your abilities, you’d have trouble moving even one, right?]
It wasn’t particularly looking down on Kang Jun-hyeok. Pixie’s Magic Box required highly advanced mana manipulation abilities. Even geniuses who appeared once every thousand years would have trouble handling it properly.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s abilities were impressive, but that was only as a Player. His talent as a mage wasn’t remarkable at all.
But Kang Jun-hyeok looked like there was no problem at all.
“I’m not a mage. I’m a Player.”
[What do you mean?]
“It’s a simple story.”
His mana manipulation ability wasn’t remarkable.
Even training for over a thousand years, he wouldn’t be able to handle a single box.
That was a limitation of birth. Just as birds have wings and can easily fly through the sky, but humans cannot.
So he would use a different ability.
He was a Player.
He could use other means instead of mana.
‘Superpowers.’
The very next 39th Floor.
That was the power he would obtain there.
