All Master of 100 Floors Episode 213

48th Floor. War God Hwacheongrang (2)

“…Didn’t you say that Heocheonryeokso-san was a sword form that could erase internal energy or mana from an empty state? You said physical attacks were impossible.”

[That would be true at your current level. When you reach my level, you can scatter all the power contained in muscles.]

“Ha.”

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh.

The level was different.

But that wasn’t a reason to give up. He kicked off the ground. He put strength into his entire body and thrust his sword sharply.

Manbyeonggi leisurely met the sword. At that moment, all the power contained in Kang Jun-hyeok’s body scattered. His body tried to collapse as if he had lost consciousness.

But he put strength into his legs. He forcibly gathered the scattered power. A tiny amount of power circulated and transformed into even greater power.

Let the small flow circulate as the ring of a great river.

Soryudaeganghwan (Small Flow Great River Ring).

He caught the falling sword and thrust it again. Manbyeonggi spoke leisurely.

[You gather the collapsing power with Soryudaeganghwan to regain your stance. Not bad.]

Kagagagagak!

Manbyeonggi’s sword moved. The power contained within it was incredibly weak. It was to the degree that Kang Jun-hyeok could press it down like twisting a child’s wrist.

But he couldn’t break through. No. Beyond that, the power contained in that sword gradually grew larger, and instead Kang Jun-hyeok began to be pushed back.

Kaaaang!

“Kuk!”

Kang Jun-hyeok was pushed backward.

Manbyeonggi stepped forward lightly and struck down with his sword. That amplified and re-amplified power was enough to deflect Kang Jun-hyeok’s arm.

Kaaaaang!

Unable to withstand the force, Kang Jun-hyeok’s arm was deflected backward. It was difficult to endure the power applied to his weapon. He could forcibly endure it if he tried, but then his stance itself would collapse.

‘Then!’

Kang Jun-hyeok relaxed the strength in the hand holding his sword. The sword slipped from his hand and flew away at high speed.

He had lost his weapon.

It was a huge mistake that would lead to defeat.

But a spear appeared in his empty hand. He quickly took stance and thrust in reverse.

Manbyeonggi, who grasped Kang Jun-hyeok’s aim, made an interested sound.

[You thoroughly use weapons as tools.]

The power that Manbyeonggi was currently wielding was difficult for Kang Jun-hyeok to withstand.

He couldn’t endure it and his arm would be deflected, revealing an opening.

Therefore, when power that would collapse his stance was applied, Kang Jun-hyeok would relax the strength in the hand holding his weapon and let it flow away. Thanks to this, Kang Jun-hyeok himself could maintain his stance.

Losing a weapon was a huge opening in combat, but for Kang Jun-hyeok who possessed Manbyeonggi, it wasn’t a great loss. Perhaps not expecting this kind of response, Manbyeonggi made an amused sound.

[My peculiarity is, no. It’s closer to a peculiarity as a Player. Indeed, that kind of utilization is excellent.]

Manbyeonggi lifted his foot and stomped down. At that moment, a massive storm raged.

Shake the world and bring forth a storm. The second sword form. Hansepungrim.

Kagagagak!

“Keuuk!”

The power contained in the storm was not much different compared to Kang Jun-hyeok’s. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue and retreated.

“You said you only had third-rate level internal energy.”

[I incorporated the third profound principle, Soryudaeganghwan, into the second sword form, Hansepungrim. When you activate Hansepungrim, you simply gather internal energy and explode it, but that’s not the original direction of the sword form. Changing a gentle breeze into a storm. That is the true ability of Hansepungrim. Yeolpungcheonchamp is the same.]

Manbyeonggi stepped forward. The distance closed in an instant. Kang Jun-hyeok responded quickly, but with light breathing, all his power was stolen. And that power was loaded into Manbyeonggi’s sword.

Kagagagagak!

He barely succeeded in defending. Manbyeonggi took one more step forward. At that moment, unbearable power was felt through the sword.

Jjeoeoeoeng!

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body flew as if deflected. He quickly took position and performed falling technique. Grasping his tingling wrist, he muttered.

“Yeolpungcheonchamp.”

[When you handle Yeolpungcheonchamp, after swinging an attack, you swing another attack again. That’s an unskilled method. The true power of Yeolpungcheonchamp comes out when the state of weapons touching is maintained.]

Not swinging the sword twice, but containing Yeolpungcheonchamp in just one swing.

[You have inherited my martial arts. So far, you understand and handle them reasonably well. I’ll praise that itself. But you’re still far lacking. The connection between sword forms and profound principles doesn’t flow smoothly at all. You’re handling them like Tower skills. That won’t do. You must know how to handle my divine techniques like breathing, incorporating them into all your actions.]

“That’s quite grateful to hear… but what’s with the sudden change in attitude?”

Until now, Manbyeonggi would give advice to Kang Jun-hyeok, but he had never actively given teachings to this extent. Manbyeonggi chuckled.

[What you showed in front of the Rooted Tree was stimulating even to me.]

With Kang Jun-hyeok’s abilities, he could pass the Rooted Tree’s trial.

Manbyeonggi knew this in his head too. But he couldn’t recall that fact. Trapped by past defeats, he judged that they should flee.

In contrast, Kang Jun-hyeok calmly grasped and controlled the situation, finding the answer.

That sight gave Manbyeonggi a tremendous shock.

Despite thinking he had changed, he realized he hadn’t escaped the loser’s appearance at all.

[Therefore, I decided to change. Teaching you my techniques in earnest is the beginning of that.]

“That’s quite excellent. It’s good for me too. Though I don’t know if I can do it.”

[Don’t worry. There’s plenty of time. We just need to beat it in until it’s engraved.]

With a voice tinged with laughter, Manbyeonggi approached. Kang Jun-hyeok bared his teeth and put strength into the hand holding his spear.

The sword attached to the wooden puppet’s hand moved. Smoothly, like a gently flowing stream.

But that power gradually grew larger, eventually changing like muddy water created by a collapsed dam.

Kagagagagagak!

Sword strikes poured down without rest. Kang Jun-hyeok put strength into the hand holding his sword. He used the rushing power in reverse, circulating it to respond.

Kaaaang!

Unable to endure, his stance tried to collapse. He gritted his teeth and put strength into his legs. The power of his entire body concentrated in his legs. Like a great tree, he supported himself and straightened his collapsing body.

Swaeeeeek!

He drew a dagger and stabbed at the neck.

Manbyeonggi flicked away the blade tip with his finger.

It was a very light movement, but the power contained within was not light at all. Kang Jun-hyeok’s body bent sideways and tried to fall over.

He didn’t resist that power. He supported himself on the floor with his hand and rotated. He instead loaded the overwhelming applied power into his own weapon. Stronger, and faster, he thrust the dagger.

Kaaang!

Manbyeonggi swung his sword to defend.

The power contained in Kang Jun-hyeok’s body continued without ending. He exploded his internal energy. He stepped forward and tried to create a storm of blades.

‘Hansepung…’

Grab.

At that moment, Manbyeonggi’s hand seized Kang Jun-hyeok’s arm.

[When you become skilled, you can intervene like this. Heocheonryeokso-san.]

Stagger.

All the power he tried to explode was stolen. Manbyeonggi used that power as is to strike Kang Jun-hyeok’s chest.

Jjeoeoeoeoeng!

“Koolleok!”

His body flew and crashed into the wall. Manbyeonggi spoke leisurely.

[You’re developing reasonably well. Not bad.]

“Then I’d appreciate it if you’d go easy on me.”

[That’s not possible.]

Manbyeonggi said cheerfully. Kang Jun-hyeok put strength into his legs and stood up.

No matter how much he dwelt in a third-rate body, the techniques and experience of a Transcendent hadn’t gone anywhere. He knew he couldn’t win.

But he hadn’t expected to be purely overpowered in terms of strength.

With just a third-rate level body, he controlled, stole, and erased his power.

Rather than martial arts, wasn’t this a divine authority that dominated the concept of power itself? He could understand why the War God said he was outside his domain. It was martial arts bordering on cheating.

He too possessed such martial arts.

Moreover, a perfect textbook existed before his eyes. He had engaged in endless battles for about a week, and in that process, he was mastering them at rapid speed. Compared to the beginning, there was a difference at the level of beginner versus expert.

He was growing.

But at the same time, he could feel it.

In this way, even if he spent a lifetime, he couldn’t clear the 48th Floor.

He was mastering and developing, but that was all. He wasn’t reaching a realm beyond that.

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been silent for a moment, asked Manbyeonggi.

“The sword you wield. Does it have attack power?”

[It does. But it’s low. It can’t pierce through your defense.]

“Is that so?”

Kang Jun-hyeok removed all equipment that had defense attached. He loosened his shoulders and cracked his neck.

“This way, I’ll take damage too, right?”

[That would be the case. But this place is different from the 42nd Floor where you faced Rocktia. There’s no condition that you won’t die even if your health reaches 0. There’s also no means to recover health.]

“Then that’s where it ends.”

[Good mindset.]

Manbyeonggi smiled with satisfaction.

Kuuung!

He steps forward. Flying at high speed, aiming for the wooden puppet’s neck. Manbyeonggi lightly swings his sword.

Teoeong!

With just that light movement, Kang Jun-hyeok’s arm is lifted. He barely corrects his collapsing posture and narrowly evades the attack aimed at his nape.

Paat.

A chilling sensation brushes past his neck.

He is now before death.

And Kang Jun-hyeok desired this.

The third sword form. Heocheonryeoksoosan.

How did he obtain it.

The God of Numbers. Numberless’s attack.

At the moment he reached death, he gained a new sword form along with enlightenment.

It was impossible to gain enlightenment from simple sparring that didn’t stake one’s life like before.

There might not be none who could do such things. There would certainly exist those who gain profound enlightenment and reach higher realms from simple sparring.

But he was not one of them.

His talent was utterly ordinary.

He could only gain such enlightenment in life-or-death duels.

Then the answer was simple.

He just needed to stake his life.

Kagagagagak!

Sword and sword clash sharply. Manbyeonggi steps forward. Instantly devouring his space, the sword tip cuts his arm.

Chwaaaaak!

“Mm.”

He feels his health being chipped away along with the pain. His senses sharpen and Death Line Awakening activates. Each of the opponent’s attacks contains the power to bring him to death.

Think.

How can he gain enlightenment.

‘No.’

Feel.

Realize.

Entrust everything to instinct.

Kagagak!

Kang Jun-hyeok steps forward. His body moves before his thoughts. At this sight, Manbyeonggi lets out a pleased laugh.

[Good. You must gain enlightenment as quickly as possible. If you fail to do so, you’ll simply die.]

Kaaang!

Sword and sword collided.
