All Master of 100 Floors Episode 219

49th Floor. Murim. Secret Manual (4)

The western edge of Murim. The abandoned Abandoned Forest where no one comes.

There stood a single cliff that soared high into the sky.

And dozens of people were positioned below the cliff.

Divided into three groups, they were wary of each other and keeping their distance. A muscular man sneered and spoke.

“For the great Dark Sky Assassin Gate Leader to reveal himself like this. Since you’re always hiding in shadows, I thought you might be a jiangshi or something.”

“I too am surprised. To think the Heavenly Thunder Shrine Leader could speak human words. I thought you were a beast in human form.”

An aura of mutual restraint was clashing violently between the two groups. The Dark Sky Assassin Gate that hides and assassinates people, and the Heavenly Thunder Shrine that solves everything with brute force. Both were sects of the Twelve Victorious Mountains, and they had never gotten along well from the start.

Moreover, since they were now competitors with the same goal, there was no way pleasant looks would be exchanged.

A man from the group caught between them clicked his tongue.

“You two really don’t get along well. But how amusing that the only Twelve Victorious Mountains sects that came to find Cheonmu Gorge are you two. Your hearts are in sync. Perhaps you actually get along well?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Alliance Leader.”

The Heavenly Thunder Shrine Leader’s face contorted with anger. The man between them was none other than the Murim Alliance Leader.

“I never expected the Alliance Leader would also be interested in the secret manual of Cheonmu Gorge.”

“I am the Alliance Leader. One who moves for the peace and stability of Murim. Since secret manuals can create discord, I came to investigate. Unlike you who came for personal desires.”

‘Bullshit.’

‘What crap.’

Neither the Dark Sky Assassin Gate Leader nor the Heavenly Thunder Shrine Leader believed the Alliance Leader’s words.

The Alliance Leader pretended to be gentle and benevolent, but in reality he was more greedy than anyone. Otherwise, why would he occupy such a troublesome position as Alliance Leader?

‘The problem is…’

‘That his power is real.’

The Alliance Leader had reached the Transformation Realm.

He was clearly a stronger expert than them. If the Alliance Leader seriously tried to drive them away, there would be no answer. They kept the Alliance Leader in check, and the Alliance Leader clicked his tongue as if annoyed.

‘If I had my way, I’d like to drive them all away with force.’

But both were Family Heads of the Twelve Victorious Mountains. They held considerable influence in Murim. If he treated them poorly, it could become troublesome when he returned to Murim, so it was difficult to do so.

“So how long will we stay here? It’s already been a week. How about we decide the order somehow?”

Quite some time had passed since they came to Cheonmu Gorge, but far from entering, time was being wasted just deciding the order.

“Fine. Let’s settle it with luck. I’ll bring three cards and use them to decide the order…”

“Bullshit! You think I’ll fall for your tricks! Here, I’ll…”

“I’ll give you back your own words!”

The two Family Heads began fighting while hurling curses at each other. The Alliance Leader sighed.

‘This will take more time.’

The Family Heads’ voices grew louder and killing intent arose. Just as the Alliance Leader clicked his tongue and was about to stop them.

Whoooosh.

Along with the sound of wind passing, a human shadow appeared before them.

The Family Heads were startled and leaped backward.

“Wait…!”

‘I didn’t sense anything!’

They hadn’t detected any presence until he was right in front of them. The Alliance Leader was flustered. He too had sensed nothing.

“What?”

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had appeared, was looking at them with a puzzled expression.

Kang Jun-hyeok had moved quickly.

According to information, he had heard there were already several who had headed to Cheonmu Gorge. Since someone else might steal the secret manual, he needed to move as quickly as possible.

But when he actually arrived, they weren’t even entering Cheonmu Gorge, but were staying at the entrance.

The Alliance Leader composed his confusion and asked.

“Who are you?”

“Kang Jun-hyeok.”

“Kang Jun-hyeok?”

The Alliance Leader’s eyes widened as he thought for a moment.

“The Martial Arts Refiner?”

“What? That guy is that guy?”

The Martial Arts Refiner.

The one who attacks sects to steal martial arts and tells them their improvement points. They knew of that rumor.

However, they hadn’t heard the rumor that Kang Jun-hyeok had destroyed a Family Head of the Twelve Victorious Mountains. They had headed to Cheonmu Gorge before that. The Alliance Leader narrowed his eyes and examined Kang Jun-hyeok.

‘…I can’t properly assess him.’

Kang Jun-hyeok was a Player. Since he wasn’t a Martial Artist, they couldn’t gauge his realm with their ki sense.

‘From rumors alone, he’d be at least a supreme expert, but I wonder what level he’s actually at.’

“But what are you doing here?”

At Kang Jun-hyeok’s question, the Alliance Leader snapped to attention and answered.

“…We were deciding who would enter first.”

“Do you know how to enter?”

Looking at the entrance below the cliff, quite complex mechanisms were installed. It was at least not a level these people could easily solve. At Kang Jun-hyeok’s question, the Alliance Leader closed his mouth.

“…More than that, it’s good to meet you. I am Murim Alliance Leader Kang Cheon.”

He changed the subject and extended his hand. Kang Jun-hyeok looked at him for a moment, then grasped it.

At that moment, ki penetrated into Kang Jun-hyeok’s body through their clasped hands.

He tried to examine his body to assess his level of strength.

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t stay still. He exhaled shortly. According to Manbyeonggi’s mental cultivation method, internal energy moved at high speed.

Thwaaaang!

As a result, the Alliance Leader’s hand was forcefully repelled.

“Wh, what!”

The Alliance Leader was flustered, forgetting even the situation. His ki was completely blocked. Kang Jun-hyeok was impressed.

‘This is pretty good.’

Manbyeonggi’s martial arts were perfect control and suppression of power.

That included not only his own power but also external power. Using that principle with the mental cultivation method, he could perfectly block ki penetrating his body.

Considering the opponent was a Transformation Realm expert equal to him, power intervention on the body would practically be ineffective.

Not just internal energy, but mana and superpowers as well. Unless he allowed it, no power could touch the inside of his body. It was control close to absolute.

“You, you are…”

“If you’re not planning to enter, I’ll go in.”

“That won’t do!”

The Dark Sky Assassin Gate Leader and Heavenly Thunder Shrine Leader quickly blocked the way. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

“How annoying.”

After pondering briefly, he turned his gaze.

“What do you think over there?”

“Where are you looking when you speak?”

Kang Jun-hyeok was looking toward the empty forest. Just as they were puzzled, a voice rang out from that direction.

“You noticed me. How surprising.”

“!”

“What?”

A man slowly emerged from the forest. He had long black hair and red eyes. Everyone except Kang Jun-hyeok was flustered.

‘I, I didn’t sense anything.’

“What are you!”

The man muttered as if they weren’t worth answering.

“Two Family Heads of the Twelve Victorious Mountains and the Murim Alliance Leader. And… the Martial Arts Refiner? That’s a title I haven’t heard.”

“I’ve been active recently.”

“Interesting.”

The man smiled.

“I was disappointed that so few fish took the bait, but a big catch has been hooked.”

“B, bait?”

“Foolish children. Why do you think the location of Cheonmu Gorge, unknown until now, was suddenly revealed?”

“…So you’re saying you leaked it.”

“With that dull head of yours, you struggled to find the answer. Correct. This lord leaked the location of this place to you.”

[This lord?]

Manbyeonggi scoffed.

[A young fool who doesn’t know his place dares to call himself ‘this lord.’]

“…What is your name.”

“Bloody Demon Sect Leader.”

The man spoke quietly.

“This lord is the sect master of Hyeolyeong Imperial Palace. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader.”

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.

Hyeolyeong Imperial Palace.

A hundred years from now, it would be the name of the empire that would rule this world. In contrast, the Alliance Leader frowned as if hearing the name for the first time.

“An underground force?”

From what he heard, it seemed they had set a trap to lure them in.

If so, there was only one thing they wanted.

Conquest of the murim.

Tension filled the people’s faces. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader spoke mercifully.

“I will take your heads to the murim and make them my first footsteps. Consider it an honor.”

He snapped his fingers. At that moment, dozens of figures in red robes appeared. The Alliance Leader swallowed hard.

‘All of them are peak-level or transcendent masters!’

Among them, he could even see two who appeared to be at the transformation realm.

‘Where on earth did such a force come from!’

The man’s words were not empty boasts. With that level of power, they really could overturn the murim. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader smiled with satisfaction at their bewildered expressions.

“Obediently bow your heads.”

“Th, then our lives….”

“If you do so, I will cut them off without pain.”

There was no room for compromise.

The moment he felt that, the Dark Sky Assassin Gate Leader hid his body in the shadows. He instantly closed the distance and approached the Bloody Demon Sect Leader.

‘There’s no chance of winning in a frontal fight!’

Dozens of peak masters and more than five transcendent masters. Even if the Alliance Leader, being a transformation realm master, could somehow survive, they would all die.

Then he would move first and capture their sect master, the Bloody Demon Sect Leader, as a hostage.

He couldn’t sense any particular power from the Bloody Demon Sect Leader. It seemed he had stepped forward himself, pleased that his deception had succeeded. If he could somehow take him hostage, they could escape.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader smiled at the movement filled with such thoughts.

“How bold.”

“Kuk!”

A hand that had moved before he knew it grabbed the Dark Sky Assassin Gate Leader’s throat. The leader panicked and tried to break free, but the hand gripping his neck didn’t budge at all.

“To target this lord directly. That confidence is praiseworthy. I’ve decided. You, I will kill personally.”

“S, save….”

The Dark Sky Assassin Gate Leader’s body instantly shriveled up. It looked as if all the blood in his body had been absorbed. The leader’s body, now a dried and twisted mummy, fell to the ground.

“L, Leader!”

“This can’t be!”

One of the Twelve Victorious Mountains. The Dark Sky Assassin Gate Leader had met his death.

The Alliance Leader’s eyes widened as much as they possibly could.

Subduing and killing a transcendent master in such a manner was impossible even for the Alliance Leader. But still, the Alliance Leader couldn’t sense any energy from the Bloody Demon Sect Leader.

That meant only one thing.

It meant he was a master of a level that the Alliance Leader couldn’t reach.

Only Kang Jun-hyeok was looking at the Bloody Demon Sect Leader with apparent interest.

‘Was this how history went.’

The planet of the 49th Floor also existed in the current universe.

The difference was that on the universe’s planet, things like the Twelve Victorious Mountains didn’t exist, and one massive group dominated everything.

That group’s name was precisely Hyeolyeong Imperial Palace.

Probably killing the Alliance Leader and family heads here and advancing to the murim to rule the world was the original history. And the being before his eyes had the power to do just that.

Bloody Demon Sect Leader.

Strong.

He possessed power of a higher level than the Alliance Leader, who was at the transformation realm.

‘Manifestation realm.’

By universe standards, a level that stood at the third tier.

Someone stronger than his current self.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader was precisely a manifestation realm master.
