All Master of 100 Floors Episode 189
42nd Floor. The Great War’s Loser. Wretched Assassin (3)
Kang Jun-hyeok read Rocktia’s movements and won in the battle of wits.
It was fair to say he had maintained the upper hand in positioning throughout the entire fight.
But even so, he couldn’t reach her.
Claaang!
Sharp sword strikes collided. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly thrust his spear, but Rocktia’s body scattered. The moment he hurriedly tried to defend, her blade tore through his entire body.
[Health: 0]
Defeat, defeat, and defeat again.
Rocktia didn’t allow a single hit. No matter how well he read her moves, the fundamental difference in power was insurmountable.
“This is difficult.”
Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head. And cold sweat was flowing down Rocktia’s cheek.
“Wahahahaha. Hahaha. This is ridiculous.”
Rocktia let out a dry laugh.
Who was she?
Though she had received the title of wretched assassin from the Tower Master, she was a powerhouse of the Trinity Realm. She possessed power that was hard to find even across entire planets, power that was recognized at the universal level.
She had reached the realm of rejuvenation, effectively freeing herself from the constraints of lifespan.
That realm wasn’t won through gambling. It was achieved through innate talent and countless battles beyond measure.
But she was being pushed back.
By the Player before her eyes, she couldn’t win in the battle of wits.
What on earth was this?
Where did this Player come from? As if responding to her shock, Manbyeonggi and Eldyria muttered.
[Where the hell did this guy experience what?]
[I don’t know. In terms of pure combat sense alone, he’s easily surpassing Rocktia. It’s not innate talent. It’s experience. What a secretive successor.]
[He’s my disciple.]
[He’s my successor.]
“I need to concentrate, so could you please be quiet for a moment?”
At Kang Jun-hyeok’s words, both of them shut their mouths. He narrowed his eyes.
He had been defeated, defeated, and defeated again.
But they weren’t meaningless defeats. Rocktia’s power and nature. And even her habits and characteristics. He had grasped it all.
And at the end of it all, he arrived at one answer.
It was possible.
His dulled senses had returned adequately, if not perfectly. All that remained was to move toward his goal. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had drunk from the spring, tightened his grip on his spear.
“Then I’ll go again.”
“Mm.”
Rocktia’s expression changed. She realized that Kang Jun-hyeok was coming at her seriously this time. With a tense face, she raised her dagger.
[Pixie’s Magic Box.]
Two square boxes floated up in the air. Rocktia’s eyes widened.
“…Huh? The One’s magic box? You have that too? Wait a minute.”
Then he had been hiding that power during all the battles so far?
[Single Point Pierce.]
Kuuuung!
Before her surprise could fade, Kang Jun-hyeok charged. Rocktia’s brain spun rapidly.
Single Point Pierce was powerful. It charged at supersonic speed to pierce the opponent. But it had the disadvantage of fixed movements, which she could easily counter.
However, Pixie’s magic boxes were now floating around Kang Jun-hyeok.
Rocktia knew the power of those boxes. Their attacks were light-speed and their power could penetrate to a planet’s core.
Of course, since Kang Jun-hyeok wasn’t Pixie, such power wouldn’t manifest, but from Rocktia’s perspective seeing it for the first time, she had no choice but to be wary.
Therefore, Rocktia decided to evade.
Tap.
The distance widened instantly. And Kang Jun-hyeok read that action perfectly.
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]
Kiiiiing!
Intense light devoured the space. Rocktia quickly wrapped her body in aura. Her body became faint like a shadow and wavered.
Using aura to make her substance faint, becoming like mist. An almost absolute evasion where no physical attacks could reach. He didn’t know how it worked, but at least he understood the principle.
In other words, he had also figured out how to counter it.
[Spear Throwing.]
[Spear Throwing.]
[Charge.]
He rushed toward the faded Rocktia along with his spears. Rocktia’s expression changed.
‘He figured it out.’
Her technique. Semi-materialization.
It was a technique that made her very existence blur to avoid attacks.
But while activating the technique, she couldn’t attack either, and after semi-materialization was released, she became momentarily defenseless. It was an attack that precisely targeted that weakness.
And Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t stop there. Several amber crystals flew toward Rocktia.
Zzzzzing!
The amber crystals’ effect was mana absorption. Since aura was also a type of mana, the semi-materialization surrounding her body wavered slightly. Eventually, she clicked her tongue and released the semi-materialization.
Kiiing!
The Lost God’s Divine Radiance still hadn’t ended. Intense light struck her, and Rocktia drew her dagger with a serious expression.
Then the light split apart.
“Ha.”
Kang Jun-hyeok unconsciously let out a chuckle. Rocktia had cut through the divine radiance itself. She deflected the flying spears and tried to plunge her dagger into Kang Jun-hyeok’s neck.
[Crack Movement.]
[Thousand Pound Weight.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moved above Rocktia and pressed down on her. The moment Rocktia quickly threw her body backward to evade, gems scattered in all directions.
Boom boom boom boom!
The gems exploded all at once. The moment Rocktia swung her dagger to deflect all the fragments, Kang Jun-hyeok immediately closed in.
Clang clang clang!
Violently, like a storm, he drove his spear attacks. Rocktia gritted her teeth.
‘Manbyeonggi’s martial arts!’
Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword technique was at a child-like level from her perspective, but this one thing was different. Martial arts approaching the level of divine authority. She needed to respond seriously.
Clang clang clang clang!
The dagger moved smoothly, deflecting all of Kang Jun-hyeok’s attacks. Then she counterattacked. The dagger grazed past Kang Jun-hyeok’s spear and tried to cut his arm.
[Anti Field.]
Claaang!
The barrier shattered immediately upon contact with the dagger. But it succeeded in blocking one strike. Kang Jun-hyeok thrust his spear forward and drew his hammer.
[Hell Burst Scream.]
Rocktia’s expression changed.
Kuuuung!
The dagger blocked the lightning. Despite being light-speed, she succeeded in defending with prediction bordering on precognition.
Having anticipated this, Kang Jun-hyeok immediately closed in. Rocktia gritted her teeth.
‘The flow…!’
The flow of battle had been completely stolen.
Whatever she tried to do, Kang Jun-hyeok moved first, making it difficult to mount a proper counterattack.
Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t stop. The difference in power was clear. There was no chance of victory in a prolonged battle. In a short time, he led the battle as he wanted and poured out all his strength.
[Earth Shake.]
[Stealth.]
He shook the ground and his body disappeared. Facing the completely erased Kang Jun-hyeok, Rocktia tried to sharpen her senses to respond.
But instead of attacking, Kang Jun-hyeok was quietly building up his power.
Manbyeonggi’s second technique. Hansepoongrim.
Clang clang clang clang!
A storm of blades sweeps forth.
Rocktia quickly swings her daggers to deflect the entire storm. Kang Jun-hyeok moved his body even closer.
Clang clang clang!
Daggers and spear clash repeatedly. Between those moments, magic boxes attack her. Rocktia quickly moves her body.
‘Troublesome!’
If approached with simple weapon handling techniques, even with her breathing disrupted, she could have countered instantly.
But each time, light burst from the magic boxes to pressure her, making counterattacks impossible.
He stole his opponent’s breathing, confused her, and blocked her responses. Confusion clouded Rocktia’s eyes, and Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t miss that opportunity.
[Enhancement. Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear.]
Crackle crackle crack!
An intense spear of Divine Authority materializes in the air. Rocktia’s expression changed. That was Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear, which showed powerful force against superior opponents, and it was even enhanced to become stronger. Even she needed to defend seriously.
Whooooom!
The spear heads toward Rocktia. Rocktia overlaps both daggers and puts strength into her defense.
Clang clang clang clang clang!
“Grrrgh!”
Under the intense pressure covering her entire body, Rocktia let out a groan for the first time.
She put strength into her arms and enhanced her entire body. She put force into her retreating legs.
Claaang!
As a result, she barely managed to deflect the spear.
But unable to withstand the force, her body opened up. Kang Jun-hyeok dove into her embrace.
[True Ancestor Awakening.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes turn red. Rocktia’s pupils dilate.
“True Ancestor Transformation!”
Blood surges up and shakes all directions. Like a single organism, it all rushes toward Rocktia at once. All power strikes simultaneously from all sides.
It was truly a storm of power. Even someone with the most excellent techniques would find it seemingly impossible to respond to.
But even so, it doesn’t reach Rocktia.
She shakes her wrists and moves her elbows. She moves her legs and twists her waist.
Truly divine-like movement and evasion.
This was the power of one who reached the Third Tier, the middle level among the universe’s scales.
Despite using all this power, he couldn’t reach her.
And Kang Jun-hyeok knew this fact better than anyone. He forcibly pushed his body forward and reached out his hand. Rocktia was momentarily flustered. It was too crude a method, separate from the meticulous strategy reading up until now.
But the thought was brief. She tried to slice off his arm without missing that opening.
[Reset. Anti Field.]
Claaang!
The blade fails to reach Kang Jun-hyeok and hits the barrier. Rocktia swallows her breath.
‘Reset…!’
Kang Jun-hyeok’s fingertips touched Rocktia’s body, just slightly but certainly.
[Six Senses Exclusion.]
“…Ugh!”
All of Rocktia’s senses are erased. Unable to feel anything, she momentarily fails to react. And Kang Jun-hyeok quickly draws his dagger.
Swiiish!
The moment her senses returned, Rocktia felt pain near her neck.
She reached out and touched her neck area. She felt warm liquid flowing. Blood trickled down, soaking her shoulders and clothes.
“…Ha, hahaha.”
Even with her senses excluded, she barely managed to dodge. It wasn’t a fatal wound.
But it was definitely an injury.
An injury that could have been dangerous if her response had been even slightly delayed.
Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled.
“Finally did it.”
“Hahaha. This is absurd.”
A Second Tier had not only injured a Third Tier but nearly dealt a fatal blow. Rocktia laughed for quite a while. Then she stopped laughing and nodded. In her eyes looking at Kang Jun-hyeok was awe.
“Your victory, Kang Jun-hyeok. You’ve perfectly cleared the 42nd Floor.”
