All Master of 100 Floors Episode 195

First Universe Quest (5)

[Oh?]

Interest flickered across Vibrahm’s face.

[You are certainly strong. You could handle hundreds of Black Humans alone. But not enough to face all of them.]

“You’ll see if you watch.”

[…This should be interesting. I can see why they chose you. Let me observe.]

Vibrahm smiled.

[I cannot help you. Most of my power is elsewhere. I can only maintain the protective barrier. You must face those things yourselves.]

“I understand.”

Kang Jun-hyeok turned back to the players and spoke.

“Upper-tier players, follow me.”

Around two hundred players followed Kang Jun-hyeok toward the city outskirts.

“I’ll weaken the protective barrier to let them in. About a hundred or so. Try facing them with your power.”

“Hmm…”

“Got it.”

Ariana gathered demonic energy with a tense expression. When Kang Jun-hyeok signaled to Vibrahm, the barrier opened and Black Humans came pouring in.

“Everyone attack!”

Clang clang clang!

Thwack!

Battle erupted between the Black Humans and players.

Yu Jin-ha stepped forward and swung his sword. It was truly a masterful sword strike. His proficiency had surpassed B rank and was on the verge of reaching A rank. Indeed, the Black Human couldn’t respond and was cut by the sword strike.

But it didn’t fall. The Black Human with large and small wounds all over its body charged forward. Yu Jin-ha’s eyes widened.

‘It’s tough!’

Crash!

When the fist struck Yu Jin-ha’s sword, his body was pushed back with a slide.

‘And strong!’

Even facing one wasn’t easy.

It wasn’t just Yu Jin-ha. The other players also couldn’t easily defeat the charging Black Humans and entered a state of antagonism.

“Ugh!”

Ariana wielded demonic energy. Black magic wove like a spider web, capturing one Black Human. She applied force with her hand, trying to crush and destroy it.

Thud! Thud! Thoom!

The Black Human thrashed its entire body as if struggling desperately. Strong impact struck Ariana. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist, finally managing to crush it.

“Huff. Huff!”

“Gasp.”

The two hundred upper-tier players barely managed to defeat a hundred Black Humans. Shock appeared on their battered faces.

They were strong.

And the problem was their quantity. They had only defeated a mere hundred. Countless numbers still remained outside the barrier.

If there had been no barrier, they would have been swept away without proper resistance.

“…Are we supposed to face things like this from now on?”

Someone’s voice represented their feelings. It was the moment when enormous despair and helplessness overwhelmed them.

“Hmph. Is that all they amount to?”

Touvalt snorted and stepped outside the protective barrier. Thousands of Black Humans charged toward Touvalt in unison. Ariana screamed.

“Touvalt! What are you doing…!”

“Watch, Ariana. This is the power of your king.”

Touvalt lightly flicked his finger. Demonic energy rose to become massive armor protecting his body.

Thud thud thud thud!

Hundreds of Black Humans struck the armor in unison. But it didn’t even crack. Touvalt proudly stomped his foot.

Slash slash slash!

Blades rose and swept in all directions. In an instant, five Black Humans were cut down and fell.

Touvalt advanced forward and threw a punch. The head of the Black Human that was hit exploded. When he swung his hand widely, a sword materialized and drew diagonal lines.

Slash!

Black Humans fell.

The eyes of the players inside the barrier widened.

The creatures they had struggled to face even one of were falling without proper resistance against Touvalt.

Touvalt was a Second Tier powerhouse.

Black Humans were at most low-level First Tier. There was an unbridgeable gap between them. And above all, Touvalt’s power was optimized for facing lower-tier enemies.

He could recover the demonic energy he consumed.

This meant he could wield nearly infinite power within his total capacity. The moment he protected his body with armor, the Black Humans couldn’t even damage him.

Slash slash slash.

He poured out demonic energy to sweep away Black Humans, recovered the consumed demonic energy, and repeated the process. He smiled with satisfaction at the shocked and awed gazes directed at him.

He was strong.

He possessed power incomparable to even the top-tier players.

‘…Though I did lose to that bastard Kang Jun-hyeok.’

He couldn’t deny that fact. But that was only because he couldn’t respond to Kang Jun-hyeok’s strange power. If they fought again, the result would be different. That’s what he was thinking when.

“Not bad.”

Kang Jun-hyeok also stepped outside the barrier. Black Humans came rushing toward him. Kang Jun-hyeok sneered and raised his finger.

“Cockroach-like things.”

[Enhancement. Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

And light erupted.

It was truly pure divine power itself. Overwhelming force that burned and incinerated the world.

Though this power wouldn’t harm the players, they covered their eyes from the intense light. Shortly after, when the light faded and they opened their eyes, their jaws dropped.

The space around Kang Jun-hyeok was completely empty.

Dozens of Black Humans had all been annihilated by the heat. Touvalt’s eyes bulged as if they would pop out.

“Wha, what!”

There were still countless Black Humans remaining. Kang Jun-hyeok gathered his internal energy and gripped his sword tightly.

Slash slash slash!

Black Humans were swept away in an instant. He lowered his stance and put strength into his legs.

Manbyeonggi’s second sword form. Hansepoongrim.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

A storm of blades arose, tearing dozens more Black Humans to shreds. Touvalt stammered.

“You, you, you, such power…”

“I told you. That I’d beat you without using internal energy, magic, divine power, or superpowers. Did you think I was lying?”

[Pixie’s Magic Box.]

A magic box arose and emitted light. Clean holes were punched through the bodies of Black Humans within range. Touvalt swallowed hard.

The magic box created by Kang Jun-hyeok contained high-dimensional techniques. Even he couldn’t understand them.

Slash!

Black Humans were chopped into pieces.

‘They’re weak as expected.’

The Black Humans’ power was around low-level First Tier.

But they had no special abilities and only physical capabilities. Moreover, their intelligence was quite low, so they only knew how to push forward mindlessly.

With Kang Jun-hyeok’s level of power, facing hundreds wouldn’t be difficult.

The problem was that their numbers reached a million.

Kang Jun-hyeok sheathed his sword.

“The confirmation is over. Come back. Or keep doing that alone.”

“D-don’t order me around!”

Touvalt hurriedly followed behind Kang Jun-hyeok. The watching players were shocked.

“Good heavens…”

“Such power.”

Volanta’s players immediately realized it. Kang Jun-hyeok’s power was far superior to their leader’s.

Perfect Player.

He finally came to truly understand the weight and meaning that name carried.

The players from Earth weren’t much different either. They too had rarely seen Kang Jun-hyeok’s true power.

Everyone looked at him with reverent gazes, and Vibrahm was no different.

[I knew you were strong, but this is beyond imagination. Pure divine power? Where did you even obtain that? And on top of that, Manbyeonggi’s martial arts? I never imagined you would teach your techniques to others.]

He muttered with an intrigued voice.

[You could probably eliminate all of those things. If only you had enough time, that is.]

Unfortunately, the first Universe Quest had a time limit of one month.

No matter how strong Kang Jun-hyeok was, he couldn’t eliminate a number as large as one million in just one month. Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly.

“You don’t need to worry. I won’t be doing this alone.”

[Hm?]

“Maybe it’s time I did some work as a leader for once.”

He muttered while looking at the players in the city.

This place didn’t only have high-tier players.

Lower and mid-tier players existed as well.

Combining the numbers of Volanta and Earth players, there were roughly two hundred thousand. It wasn’t a small number.

And they thought there would be nothing for them to do.

Because the Black Humans were too strong.

What could they do against enemies that even the highest-tier players struggled with? Protected by the barrier of protection, they didn’t feel much sense of crisis either. Just as they were blankly trying to watch the battle, Kang Jun-hyeok’s voice rang out.

“Players, form ranks.”

“Huh?”

“Ah. Yes.”

Kang Jun-hyeok had won the duel and become the leader. Since he now had command authority over all players, they couldn’t refuse. Kang Jun-hyeok continued issuing orders.

“Players with 300 or more health. Players with 50 or more defense. And players with 40 or more attack power as the standard. Next, players with 200 or more health. Players with 30 or more defense. Players with 30 or more attack power as the standard.

Setting standards for players based on stats and having them gather. In an instant, two hundred thousand players clustered together to form ranks.

“Then, Lord Vibrahm. Please.”

[Understood.]

The barrier of protection opened and several Black Humans entered.

The players gripped their weapons with pale faces.

Kaaaang!

A powerful force struck the players. The one at the front of the formation staggered and was about to fall. At that moment, the one behind supported them with strength.

“Shoot your bows!”

“Cast magic!”

While the front lines held, the rear players poured out attacks. Shortly after, the Black Humans couldn’t endure and collapsed. The players caught their breath heavily.

“Casualties?”

“Uh, none?”

“What? This is manageable?”

Players don’t die unless their health reaches 0.

They just needed to endure one attack from the Black Humans and then retreat. Moreover, since health continuously recovered within the barrier, the danger to their lives was minimal.

They too could be helpful. The players gained confidence. They began facing the Black Humans entering little by little and started defeating them without major difficulty.

Kang Jun-hyeok watched this scene from a distance.

He was the final survivor.

In the process of reaching that point, he had commanded countless players as a leader. That experience hadn’t gone anywhere either. He knew how to use them effectively.

“…I’ll admit it. Your ability as a leader is superior.”

It was a result even Touvalt had to acknowledge. But he didn’t bend his will.

“However, my individual ability is superior. Though I may be losing now, someday I will become stronger than you.”

A confident declaration.

Kang Jun-hyeok scoffed at him.

“Do you really think you’re that amazing? You’re not a player. You’re a black mage. Let me make a prophecy. You will hit countless limits in this place.”

“Nonsense.”

Touvalt ignored Kang Jun-hyeok’s words.

He came outside the barrier and donned his armor. Black Humans rushed at him in droves and struck him, but his armor didn’t show even the slightest crack.

‘I’ll hit limits?’

Look.

Even before all these enemies, isn’t there not the slightest wavering? It was the moment he was scoffing at Kang Jun-hyeok’s words.

“…Hm?”

Something strange appeared in the Black Humans’ behavior. Instead of rushing toward Touvalt, they began gathering among themselves. Squirming as if being compressed, hundreds of them began clustering together to form a single shape.
