All Master of 100 Floors Episode 199
First Universe Quest (9)
Once a crack forms, it grows larger with even the slightest stimulus. The dagger slowly advances and before long, half of the Black Human’s neck is severed.
The Black Human doesn’t just stand there and take it. It grabs Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder and strikes his abdomen with its fist.
[Anti Field.]
He deploys a barrier and protects his abdomen with blood.
But it shatters. A fierce impact shakes his entire body. Kang Jun-hyeok grits his teeth and puts more force into the dagger.
Kagagagagak!
The crack continues to spread.
However, the Black Human also launches random attacks toward Kang Jun-hyeok. He protects his entire body with blood as much as possible, but unavoidable damage still gets through.
This is dangerous.
His stamina will be completely depleted before he can cut off the Black Human’s neck.
So he takes the risk. Kang Jun-hyeok gathers his internal energy to the limit.
Manbyeonggi’s first technique. Fierce Wind Heaven Slash.
The dagger already contained power amplified once by Fierce Wind Heaven Slash.
He amplifies it once more.
Ppudeudeuk.
His muscles can’t withstand it and begin to break down. His stamina is consumed as his body can’t endure the powerful martial arts.
But.
Kaaaaaaang!
Finally, the Black Human’s head flies off.
The Black Human throws punches wildly in a final struggle. With his stamina completely depleted, even a graze would be dangerous. So he activates Crack Movement to put as much distance as possible between them.
Kwagagagagang!
The ground caves in and everything collapses. A massive crater is formed.
The dust settles, and all that remains there is a headless body.
The lone swaying corpse soon collapses to the floor.
[Level Up.]
[Level Up.]
[Stamina + 50]
[Strength + 3]
[Speed + 2]
[Internal Energy + 3]
[Mana + 2]
[Psychic + 1]
[Dagger Technique proficiency has increased from D to C.]
[Charge proficiency has increased from E to D.]
[Instant Acceleration proficiency has increased from E to D.]
[True Ancestor Awakening…]
[Passive Skill: Counter acquired.]
“Phew.”
He won.
Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled. Manbyeonggi muttered as if amazed.
[You won. And quite easily at that.]
“I had quite a bit of trouble though.”
[Considering the gap between you and that thing, you can’t really say you had trouble. The Black Human was foolish, dull, and had no special abilities, but it was a higher-tier opponent than you.]
Even though they were in the same second tier, the gap between them was like heaven and earth. There was a clear difference in power between Kang Jun-hyeok in the mid-range and the Black Human in the upper range. This was definitely taking it down without much strain.
[It was a perfect response. Your distribution of power was excellent too. As if you had faced it thousands, tens of thousands of times before. You really are interesting.]
Manbyeonggi spoke cheerfully. Kang Jun-hyeok shrugged and sheathed his dagger.
He returned inside the barrier.
The Players were staring at him blankly.
As if in shock, none of them could open their mouths.
But that was only for a moment. Someone spoke up.
“…He won.”
“He’s victorious.”
“He, he defeated that monster.”
Like a dam breaking, they begin muttering one by one. Soon emotions surge like a waterfall. They raise their hands high.
“Hooray!”
“Long live Kang Jun-hyeok!”
“Waaaah! We, we won!”
They had perfectly cleared the first Universe Quest.
Joyful cheers echoed from all directions.
Everyone without exception was celebrating.
Their faces were filled with joy and hope.
That sight gave Kang Jun-hyeok a very strange but good feeling.
Universe Quests had been conducted multiple times. As such, there had been several occasions in his previous life when Universe Quests were cleared almost perfectly.
But the Players couldn’t simply rejoice in those achievements.
Because they knew that even greater trials would continuously come their way.
In contrast, this was only the first Universe Quest. For those who don’t know the future, it would feel as if they had succeeded in all Quests.
In a way, it could be called foolish, but it wasn’t bad. It was a scene he had never seen even once in his previous life.
Pushing through the celebrating people, Touvalt appeared before Kang Jun-hyeok. He muttered with a trembling voice.
“Kang Jun… hyeok.”
“What.”
Touvalt quietly looked at Kang Jun-hyeok. What was contained in those eyes was deep respect. He lowered his posture.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened. The Players from Volanta Planet held their breath.
That arrogant and haughty Tuvalt Shadowstar. A genius who appears once in ten thousand years.
He knelt before Kang Jun-hyeok in front of everyone.
“I acknowledge it. You are greater than me. You are stronger than me. You are superior to me. I was foolish and failed to recognize your true nature. I repent deeply in my heart.”
“…Uh.”
“You have bestowed teachings upon me. I will follow those teachings. I will let go of my obsession with black magic and follow behind you as a Player. So, Kang Jun-hyeok.”
“Uh, why.”
Kang Jun-hyeok tried hard to hide his confusion. Touvalt asked in a careful tone.
“May I regard you as my master in my heart? Please, I beg of you.”
“…Do as you wish.”
“Thank you!”
Touvalt smiled brightly.
Kang Jun-hyeok was bewildered by Touvalt’s attitude.
It was completely different from his stubborn appearance in the previous life.
The current him was still young and greatly influenced by his surroundings before his mind hardened, but from Kang Jun-hyeok’s perspective who didn’t know this, it couldn’t help but be bewildering.
But it wasn’t bad. His consciousness had reformed on its own without Kang Jun-hyeok having to do anything in particular.
The Players had changed, and so had Touvalt.
What kind of difference would this make compared to his previous life?
He couldn’t be certain, but at least it wouldn’t be in a bad direction.
The first Universe Quest lasted one month.
Even though they had defeated all enemies, there were still three days remaining. Thanks to this, they had unexpected free time. The Players freely rested and interacted with other planets. Kang Jun-hyeok also leisurely checked his skills.
Dagger Technique proficiency had reached C. And Charge and Instant Acceleration had reached D.
[Active Skill: Charge]
[Grade: Low Grade]
[Proficiency: D]
[Cooldown: 30 minutes]
[Charges powerfully toward the target. Affected by Strength and Speed stats, delivering a strong impact upon collision and allowing for further pushing.]
[Active Skill: Instant Acceleration]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: D]
[Cooldown: 60 minutes]
[Accelerates all speed by 1.5x for 20 seconds.]
The effect of the newly evolved Charge was that it could provide continuous pressure even after collision.
And Instant Acceleration cleanly doubled its duration. Both were efficient and excellent skills, so these were useful changes.
And he gained a new passive skill.
[Passive Skill: Counter]
[Grade: Low Grade]
[Proficiency: F]
[Counterattack against opponent’s attacks. When counterattacking with near-perfect timing, damage is doubled.]
Counter.
It was literally an excellent passive skill that doubled damage when a perfect counter was successfully executed.
Of course, activating it wasn’t that easy. He could land consecutive counters because the Black Human was a simple-minded opponent, but against a normal opponent, it would be difficult to activate even once during battle.
But even so, it was a skill that could change the outcome of battle with its tremendously powerful effect.
Satisfied, Kang Jun-hyeok went to find Vibrahm. He looked down at Kang Jun-hyeok with admiring eyes.
[Magnificent. You defeated a high-ranking Black Human of the second tier without much trouble. Above all… skills, not the power of the universe, were your main strength. Is that the power of Players? Magnificent. But what’s truly magnificent is your ability to handle it.]
Vibrahm seemed quite impressed as his words continued endlessly.
[You’ve only been able to climb the Tower for about 10 years. That means you’ve only had that much time to master those techniques. You should be inexperienced, yet you were perfect. When did you start climbing the Tower?]
“About… two years ago.”
[…That level of proficiency in just two years.]
Vibrahm let out a hollow laugh.
[Excellent. If it weren’t for Eldyria, I’d want to make you my apostle by force.]
[I’ve already claimed him. I won’t yield.]
[I know. You have excellently cleared the Quest. So I shall bestow my grace upon you.]
A strong light descended toward Kang Jun-hyeok.
[You have acquired Passive Skill: Guardian’s Grace.]
[Passive Skill: Guardian’s Grace]
[Grade: Divine Authority]
[Divine Authority bestowed by Vibrahm, the God of Protection, upon his beloved believer. Defense increases by 10%.]
“…Really?”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.
A defense increase with no conditions whatsoever. And the percentage wasn’t low either. It was a full 10%. The stronger he became, the more efficient it would be—truly a skill approaching Divine Authority.
[You have done well. Originally this is Divine Authority I would only bestow upon my apostles, but I personally grant it to you. By the way… is that what a Player is?]
Vibrahm muttered with apparent interest.
[Until now, I had no interest whatsoever. I thought they were just toys of the Victors. But seeing you changes my mind. I should look for some useful ones myself.]
[It will be difficult to find someone like this guy.]
[That may be so. But I should be able to find someone reasonably useful. It would be fun to raise them.]
Vibrahm seemed to be planning something.
Kang Jun-hyeok expressed his gratitude to Vibrahm, who was lost in thought alone, and withdrew.
And finally, after three days had passed.
A system window appeared announcing the end.
[The first Universe Quest has ended.]
[Checking completion rate…]
[100%]
[Amazing! You are the only planet in the entire universe to perfectly clear the Universe Quest!]
[Universe Announcement]
[Congratulations! Everyone in the universe. Planets that perfectly cleared the Universe Quest have appeared. This is a unique achievement. We hope you will all follow their example and continue climbing the Tower diligently!]
[MVP: Kang Jun-hyeok]
[Excellent! Without you, a perfect clear would have been impossible. A special reward befitting your excellent achievement will be given.]
[Please select one of the following rewards.]
[1. Gold befitting the clear rate.]
[2. Powerful unique equipment.]
[3. Powerful unique skill.]
[4. Very special material item.]
[5. Massive increase in specific stat]
“Now then.”
What should he choose this time? The moment Kang Jun-hyeok fell into contemplation, space split open and a black-haired girl burst out.
“Yahoo!”
“Administrator. What brings you here?”
“I came to praise you!”
Earth’s Administrator smiled brightly and patted Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder.
“You did very well! Being able to successfully clear this Universe Quest was all thanks to you! Not that damn Half-Human Half-Demon that guy is so proud of!”
“I’m glad if you’re happy because of me.”
Administrators existed on each planet. And their relationships weren’t very good. Since they were close to competitors, she seemed quite pleased that Kang Jun-hyeok had achieved results. The Administrator nodded.
“You really did well. So this is a reward for that!”
With her words, the system window flickered and changed. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.
[Please select two of the following rewards.]
[1. Gold befitting the clear rate.]
[2. Powerful unique equipment.]
[3. Powerful unique skill.]
[4. Very special material item.]
[5. Massive increase in specific stat]
“Two?”
It wasn’t one.
He could now select two. The Administrator grinned.
“This is my reward to you! Choose freely!”
