All Master of 100 Floors Episode 214

48th Floor. Martial God Hwacheongrang (3)

Kagagagak!

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moves rapidly. Internal energy rotates within his body, giving strength to his entire form.

Kaaang!

Swords clash and the sound of blades rings out. Kang Jun-hyeok steps forward.

Diagonal slash. It’s deflected. He kicks with his foot. It’s blocked and his stance crumbles. He puts strength in his legs to regain balance and strikes down powerfully. His strength is stolen and returns in reverse. He throws his sword to deflect it.

Faster, stronger, higher.

Kagagagagak!

Sharp blade edges graze past his body. Right now he’s not wearing any protective gear. It was a duel where his life was truly in danger.

Thump. Thump.

His heart beats rapidly. His mind accelerates.

How can he win?

How can he achieve victory?

How can he reach a higher realm?

He advances for that path. He entrusts everything to instinct. His body moves before thought.

Kaaaang!

Kuuuung!

His breathing changes. Deeper and longer. The profound principles and sword forms that follow unfold accordingly. They connect with each other, flowing naturally like water.

[Not bad.]

Manbyeonggi mutters and flicks his finger.

Kaaaang!

Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword, unable to withstand the force, is deflected. At that moment, a greatsword immediately appears in his hand. He grips it with both hands and swings it roughly.

Manbyeonggi steps forward and strikes the flat of the greatsword. The force contained in the greatsword rebounds completely, causing Kang Jun-hyeok’s body to stagger and nearly lose balance.

Kang Jun-hyeok immediately released his grip on the greatsword and let it fly away. A dagger appeared in his now-weaponless hand.

Kagagagak!

The dagger aims for Manbyeonggi’s neck.

Manbyeonggi flicks his finger. The dagger flies away, and a spear appears in his hand.

[Hooh.]

Manbyeonggi showed interest.

Currently, Kang Jun-hyeok was only allowed techniques related to martial arts.

In other words, he had to handle only Manbyeonggi’s martial arts.

And his opponent was Manbyeonggi, the creator of those martial arts. If he fought using only simple martial arts, he couldn’t win even if they fought a thousand times.

Therefore, Kang Jun-hyeok decided to utilize the unique properties of his gauntlets.

The gauntlets’ effect was the free exchange of weapons.

Kang Jun-hyeok used this – when he felt he couldn’t withstand an applied force, he would release his grip on the weapon and let that force dissipate.

For a normal Player, losing a weapon would directly lead to defeat. But for Kang Jun-hyeok alone, it wasn’t a problem.

Sword to axe, axe to dagger, dagger to spear – they exchange chaotically. Dozens of exchanges in mere seconds, deflecting the applied forces.

Meanwhile, he channels his own strength into new weapons, pushing the gauntlets’ effects to their extreme.

[Excellent judgment. You thought well. No, perhaps not thought.]

It was closer to an instinctive response method rather than conscious thought.

He handles the gauntlets’ effects to counter Manbyeonggi’s martial arts. He controls, swings, and deflects force.

Countless weapons move in coordination as if they were one.

That was certainly a form of enlightenment.

[But that alone is insufficient.]

Kaaaang!

Nevertheless, Manbyeonggi was not pushed back.

To reach him with just that one thing, there was too great a wall. Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moves. Countless weapons change as the battle continues.

Kagagagak!

Kang Jun-hyeok was not moving while thinking right now.

He was moving his body first, following instinct and sensation.

But that didn’t mean he had abandoned thought entirely. Separate from his body’s movements, Kang Jun-hyeok’s mind was spinning at high speed.

‘The techniques Manbyeonggi has shown so far.’

If Manbyeonggi had seriously used all his profound principles and sword forms, he would have died long ago. He was controlling his strength and limiting the techniques he used.

First profound principle. Reverse Momentum Strengthening Absorb Attack Break Momentum.

Second profound principle. Self-Power Unity.

Third profound principle. Small Stream Great River Circulation.

And first sword form. Raging Wind Heaven Slash.

Second sword form. Cold World Wind Forest.

Third sword form. Void Heaven Force Scatter Mountain.

Manbyeonggi had shown six techniques.

‘But.’

Are those six really all there is?

Something was strange. Reverse Momentum Strengthening Absorb Attack Break Momentum was ultimately a profound principle for controlling momentum and absorbing force. And Void Heaven Force Scatter Mountain was a sword form that scattered forces applied within one’s body.

All of them could only be used when forces made contact.

But right now, Manbyeonggi was stealing and scattering force even before contact, merely by approaching within a certain distance.

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes grew serious.

He measures the distance.

Chwaaaaak!

Kang Jun-hyeok throws a dagger. Manbyeonggi lightly waves his finger. The dagger loses force and drops with a thud.

At that moment, Kang Jun-hyeok lowers his stance and charges in. He kicks the falling dagger. While doing so, he throws a punch. He launches two attacks simultaneously.

[Hmm.]

In response to that, Manbyeonggi steps forward.

The force rebounds directly and strikes Kang Jun-hyeok. He barely manages to endure his staggering, retreating body by putting strength in his legs.

From that exchange, Kang Jun-hyeok realized something.

Centered on Manbyeonggi, a domain was formed.

Any sufficiently strong individual would have their own detection domain. For Martial Artists it was called ki-sensing, for Espers it was called Personal Space.

Since Manbyeonggi was a strong individual approaching Transcendent level, it wasn’t strange at all that he had his own domain.

But its peculiarity was the problem.

Manbyeonggi was controlling all forces that entered within his domain.

‘What is that.’

To completely control force like that. Isn’t that a technique close to truly divine authority? He finally understood why the Martial God said he had transcended his category. At the same time, he could tell.

If he couldn’t break through that domain, he couldn’t clear the Quest.

But how to break through it?

He had succeeded in analyzing it, but he had no idea how such a domain could be created.

‘…No.’

Don’t think.

Entrust your body to instinct.

Gain enlightenment.

Kagagagak!

Kang Jun-hyeok’s movements change once more. Larger and broader, as if trying to have his own domain. Manbyeonggi responds joyfully.

He continuously battles within Manbyeonggi’s domain that controls all force. He cannot understand or grasp it, but that sensation continues to be carved into his body.

Kagagagak!

He loses the flow of time.

Kaaang!

He loses control of his body.

His ego melts away and becomes one with the world.

This was the realm of selfless (mugagyeong).

‘…Ahh.’

All forces under heaven and earth are within me.

Kang Jun-hyeok relaxes his body. The sword slips from his grip and falls to the floor. Manbyeonggi thrusts the sword toward his heart.

Kang Jun-hyeok quietly closed his eyes.

At that moment, a Divine Domain was formed.

Wooooong.

Instantly, Manbyeonggi felt strong resistance.

The power of the world itself was trying to push him away.

He didn’t resist and was pushed back. He leisurely sheathed his sword and spoke.

[You’ve realized it. How does it feel?]

“…It’s a strange sensation.”

[Martial Extreme Heaven and Earth Suppression Divine Domain.]

A Divine Domain that suppresses and controls all origins under heaven and earth.

[Congratulations. You have succeeded in comprehending the ascending principle, surpassing my basic profound principles.]

[ Divine Technique proficiency has greatly increased.]

[ Mental Cultivation Method proficiency has greatly increased.]

The sensation close to omnipotence slowly fades away. He was leaving enlightenment and returning to reality.

But the realm he had reached didn’t go anywhere.

A territory was formed centered around him.

[If one is a strong person above a certain level, they can have detection abilities within range. That itself isn’t remarkable. Is it that control skill you have? That could serve a similar role too. But the Divine Domain you’ve obtained now is incomparable to such things.]

Manbyeonggi threw a sword. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t block it and stared at the sword intently. The moment it entered his Divine Domain, the sword began to slowly lose the force with which it was thrown.

Kang Jun-hyeok caught the sword as it fell like it was dropping.

[The Martial Extreme Heaven and Earth Suppression Divine Domain suppresses all forces that exist under heaven and earth. Beyond simple physical force, it includes Internal Energy, mana, and even Divine Power. The Martial Extreme Heaven and Earth Suppression Divine Domain that has reached its extreme can handle the opponent’s power itself as if it were one’s own.]

“Like what you did?”

[That’s right. But it’s a long road. What you can do now is probably just detecting power within the Divine Domain.]

“Even that alone is more than enough.”

His senses themselves had become infinitely sharp.

Combined with the power of his control skill, it became possible to grasp and analyze all forces entering the Divine Domain. To put it extremely, surprise attacks no longer worked on him now.

His body would reflexively move to block them.

This was a profound principle that controlled all origins under heaven and earth.

And Kang Jun-hyeok knew what level of realm one had to reach for this to be possible.

A realm that transcended life and death. A position where one could become a phenomenon itself and exert powerful influence.

Life and Death Realm.

It was something only possible upon reaching the Fourth Dimension.

Such a technique could be deployed, even if only in a similar manner, through Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts.

‘Is this really martial arts?’

The more he knew, the more it was far beyond the scope of understanding. But Manbyeonggi had a dissatisfied tone.

[Originally, you should have realized this together when you comprehended Void Heaven Force Dispersion. To barely realize it only after I personally bestowed teachings upon you. The road ahead is still long. It’s daunting.]

“Unlike you, I’m just ordinary talent.”

[It’s not such a difficult profound principle. I could do it naturally from birth.]

[That fellow is a strange one, so don’t mind him. Even now, you’re plenty amazing.]

Eldyria comforted Kang Jun-hyeok while scolding Manbyeonggi.

[Your talent is strange even looking at the entire universe. Don’t impose your standards on this child.]

[This fellow also seems like a strange one even looking at the entire universe.]

[That’s…]

Eldyria closed her mouth. There was nothing to refute in those words. Manbyeonggi continued speaking.

[Whatever the case, the goal has been achieved. Though it’s only a momentary enlightenment, you have the control skill. You’ll gradually master it and be able to handle it. And one more thing.]

Manbyeonggi spoke as if pleased.

[While dueling with me, you handled and linked all sorts of weapons.]

Dagger, spear, greatsword, sword, axe, martial arts.

All sorts of weapons and techniques linked smoothly as if they had become one. Abandoning the power contained within, continuing it, creating flow.

[That’s not my profound principle. It’s a profound principle you newly created. If I had to give it a name, yes. It would be close to the Realm of Ten Thousand Weapons.]

A realm of handling ten thousand weapons.

The moment a name is given, the Tower’s system activates.

[You have acquired Passive Skill: Realm of Ten Thousand Weapons.]

[Passive Skill: Sword Technique has been integrated into Passive Skill: Realm of Ten Thousand Weapons.]

[Passive Skill: Dagger Technique has been integrated into Passive Skill: Realm of Ten Thousand Weapons.]

[Passive Skill: Greatsword Mastery has been integrated into Passive Skill: Realm of Ten Thousand Weapons.]
