All Master of 100 Floors Episode 241
The Second Universe Quest (7)
The Bear roared savagely. Ariel cried out from her knees.
“Tear it to shreds!”
Crack!
Space itself tore asunder, attempting to rend the Bear’s entire body. That was divine speech—the great language that dominates and governs the very concepts of the world.
[Uooooooh!]
Yet the Bear shook its body and repelled the assault. In an instant, it closed the distance and brought its massive paw crashing down.
Boom!
With a tremendous impact, the golden radiance enveloping Ariel’s form shook violently.
The moment Ariel attempted a counterattack, the Bear’s body was sucked into a Crevice.
Crash!
The Bear’s blow across her back sent Ariel’s body hurtling backward. She steadied herself mid-flight and gritted her teeth.
“Divine Light, embrace me! Let the Spear of Punishment pierce through my enemy!”
Golden radiance swirled around her as spears shot toward the Bear.
The Bear swung its massive paws. The spears shattered upon impact.
“Huff… huff…”
Ariel caught her breath. Beads of sweat glistened on her cheeks.
“Ha, haha… This is ridiculous.”
Ariel Won.
She was God’s one and only Saintess.
As the avatar of the Gods, she possessed the pride that nothing in the Universe was more precious than herself. And she wielded power befitting that pride.
Yet now she could not even properly contend with a single one of the ten Bears.
“Uaaaah!”
“Aaaah!”
“P-please, kill it!”
This place was Hell.
Five hundred Dog Monsters and ten Bears were crushing everything. The Players fought with their lives on the line, but the fundamental gap in power was far too vast. Countless lives were being sacrificed.
“Ahaha. This is too much. They really dumped all of this on us.”
Ariel smiled bitterly.
Yet she could not complain.
Because Kang Jun-hyeok was facing something far more bizarre than all of these combined.
Kuuuuung…
An impact echoed from afar. In that moment, Ariel’s body, which had shown no fear when facing the Bear, trembled involuntarily.
The Long-Armed Monkey Apostle fighting Kang Jun-hyeok over there.
That thing was bizarre.
She could say with certainty.
If she fought it, she would not last even a minute.
Even if all the Players gathered together, it would make no difference. It was merely a matter of time. They would all be annihilated.
Yet Kang Jun-hyeok was facing that thing.
“We must each do our best in our respective positions.”
Bring down the Bear. With my life on the line. Ariel’s eyes grew infinitely serious. She slowly opened her mouth.
“Come forth. Gate of Heaven.”
And light descended upon the world.
Radiance enveloped Ariel’s body. The Bear flinched, trembling. The Victor’s Minion instinctively retreated.
“The gate cannot remain open for long. So, die.”
With those calm words, something indescribable erupted from the Gate of Heaven.

* * *
Kuguguguguung!
Dozens of repulsion waves erupted in succession.
What they contained was an Authority that pierced through all defense.
Even if there were hundreds of Players, they would all be obliterated.
Since it shattered defense itself, there was no choice but evasion. Counterattack was technically possible, but the opponent was the Victor. He did not follow the Universal Law. I would simply be consumed one-sidedly.
So, I evaded with all my might.
“Huuh.”
I steadied my breathing. The Internal Energy remaining in my body began to circulate through my legs.
Thud.
I poured force into my feet. I struck the ground hard. The repulsion force that resulted, I circulated back through my legs.
Manbyeonggi’s Divine Technique included Footwork Technique as well.
Faster. More nimble. My body flowed as if gliding. And my speed accelerated further still. I evaded the cascading repulsion waves. The monkey, growing irritated, poured more force into its fists, yet still could not reach me.
Tadadat.
Kang Jun-hyeok charged toward the Long-Armed Monkey Apostle. The instant the distance closed, the monkey grinned wickedly.
Whoosh.
The monkey rapidly increased the distance.
Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.
Since the monkey was capable of ranged attacks, it had no reason to engage in close combat.
Moreover, the opponent’s speed was two tiers above mine. If we fought head-on, I could match it to some degree with my abilities, but if it deliberately fled and evaded, there was no way.
But something felt wrong.
‘Why isn’t it using Crack Movement?’
Was this truly a trap, or was it a weakness?
After a moment of deliberation, Kang Jun-hyeok made his decision. To test it.
If wrong, I die.
But that has always been the case.
As always, I trusted my senses and unleashed my power.
[Pixie’s Magic Power Box.]
The Magic Power Boxes materialized all at once. Countless beams of light shot toward the monkey.
[Kikiik!]
The monkey unfurled Crevice Distortion and consumed them. Kang Jun-hyeok seized that opening and rapidly closed the distance.
The monkey mocked Kang Jun-hyeok’s efforts and attempted to increase the distance once more.
In that instant, Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes blazed with light.
[Pixie’s Magic Power Control.]
A Transcendent’s mastery of control seized my entire body.
The movement of the magic power crystals transformed into something breathtakingly beautiful—like a constellation of stars.
Kyiiiiing!
Light erupted forth.
Radiance encircling the monkey from all directions. There was no escape through simple movement alone. The correct answer was to slip away using Crack Movement.
[Kyiiiiik!]
Yet the monkey responded by unleashing a massive Crevice Distortion.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes gleamed.
Now it was certain.
The monkey could not use Crack Movement.
Whether it was because the Apostle had received such an overwhelmingly powerful Authority that it exceeded its capacity, or whether this particular Apostle simply wasn’t granted permission to use Crack Movement, I couldn’t say for certain—but it was unmistakable.
And there were two more things.
It appeared unable to use Crevice Distortion and Crevice Piercing simultaneously.
And Crevice Liberation couldn’t be activated consecutively; there was a noticeable delay between uses. For an Apostle wielding such an overwhelmingly powerful Authority, this was only natural.
Then I would exploit that gap.
Kang Jun-hyeok thrust his sword roughly. The monkey swung its arms in annoyance.
Kaaaaang!
The collision rang out. Brutal combat ensued. Its arms swept in all directions in an instant, pressing down upon Kang Jun-hyeok.
Now I could only engage in direct confrontation. Yet the opponent remained faster and stronger.
I poured everything into it.
[Stealth.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body vanished. The monkey thrashed its feet violently. Crevice Piercing was woven within, engulfing everything around it. Kang Jun-hyeok drove his Great Sword into the Ground, countering with sheer force.
Crack.
Then I switched the Great Sword for a Dagger, aiming for the monkey’s throat. The monkey dodged and kicked. Kang Jun-hyeok swung his other hand.
[High-Output Gauntlet from Somewhere.]
Kuuuung!
A powerful wave forcibly suppressed the monkey’s footwork.
[Earth Shake.]
In that moment, the Ground trembled. The monkey’s footing lost balance for an instant. Kang Jun-hyeok drove the Dagger toward its throat once more. The monkey swatted with its fist as if irritated.
Shwaaang!
Tremendous Impact coursed through my arm. I redirected the force as much as possible, yet the Damage was undeniable. I held my ground with the Immovable Stance against the recoil, then drove forward again with renewed force.
[Kyigik!]
Kuuung!
Power collided once more.
[Repulsion.]
[Impact.]
Kaaaaang!
Against an opponent of higher tier, I continued to match it using Skills, constantly stealing its breath to prevent it from wielding its superior strength properly.
Even a single strike poses a danger.
I control and calculate everything.
While doing so, I continuously move the magic power box to prevent the monkey from creating distance.
My mind feels like it’s burning from processing beyond my limits. My health points were indeed decreasing bit by bit. It meant I was surpassing the threshold of processing my physical body could accept.
But I don’t stop.
[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]
I burst forth sword energy. Though minimal, I succeed in disrupting the monkey’s stance. My fingertips graze the monkey’s arm.
[Six Senses Exclusion.]
I erase the monkey’s senses themselves. The monkey erupts with raw force, but I read the trajectory and pattern of that power, driving forward and swinging my blade.
Shhwack!
A thin line appears across the monkey’s arm.
Damage so negligible it’s almost embarrassing to call it that.
[Kiiieeeek!]
The monkey bursts with rage, attacking from all directions. I narrowly evade each strike.
It was like walking between two cliffs battered by harsh winds, clinging to nothing but a single thin thread.
Such a miracle—I was performing it now.
[Kiek.]
The monkey let out a cry.
This pathetic, weakling human was desperately clinging on. I thought I could crush it easily, yet somehow it endured.
It was irritating and aggravating.
Honestly, it wasn’t a major problem.
If I were willing to accept damage, I could kill this weakling human.
But I didn’t want to.
How could a great apostle like myself grapple with such a pathetic human like insects tumbling over each other? What a disgraceful affair. My master would be disappointed if he knew.
[Kaak.]
The monkey, which had been deliberating for a moment, let out a cry.
For now, I’ll face it casually. And once I can activate Crevice Liberation, I’ll simply swallow it whole.
Kagagagak!
The monkey evaded smoothly and held back its strength appropriately. I raised my aura further, pressuring the monkey.
The monkey mocked this sight.
A foolish human thrashing about without knowing it had taken the bait.
And finally, the moment arrived. The monkey spread its arms wide.
Uuuung.
The Crevice expands.
It swallows and draws in all things in the world.
Kang Jun-hyeok was within it. Unlike before, I couldn’t escape quickly enough—my entire body was swallowed by the Crevice.
It’s over.
[Kagak.]
Did this mere human dare to challenge me? The monkey mocked Kang Jun-hyeok. His body was being pulled into the Crevice, about to vanish entirely, when—
“I was waiting for this.”
[Crack Movement.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body shifted above the monkey’s head.
Crack Liberation was the Authority of Hunger Growing in the Cracks.
Cosmic Beings could not oppose it.
Countless Gods were sucked into that Gap and annihilated in an instant.
But Kang Jun-hyeok possessed the Authority of the Gap.
One of the methods to confront the Victor’s Authority.
To possess an equal level of Authority.
Kang Jun-hyeok knew this truth better than anyone.
The reason I had not used Crack Movement until now was precisely to seize this single opportunity, and I had succeeded. I poured all my accumulated power into the blade. I activated Thousand Pound Weight to add weight to the strike.
[Crack!]
The monkey tried to retreat in panic, but intoxicated by its sense of victory, its reaction could only be sluggish.
Shhwaaaack!
As a result, the monkey’s left arm was severed perfectly from the shoulder.
[Kaaaaaaagh!]
A terrible scream echoed. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue. I had aimed to cleave it in half from the head, but it twisted its body to evade even that.
I did not miss the opportunity. Just as I stepped forward to sever its neck—
The monkey’s eyes turned black.
Kwaaaaaaang!
Everything around it shattered.
Its true full power, never revealed until now, unfolds. To be caught in it meant death. I tightened my grip on the sword.
Ignorant Fool Sword Energy.
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]
Kwaaaang!
Power collided with power and exploded outward. I could barely neutralize it by activating two powerful Skills.
[Crack, crack, craaaack!]
The monkey thrashed its body wildly.
What dwelt in those eyes was endless Anger.
The Killing Intent to absolutely destroy. It had lost its Intelligence, consumed by Emotion.
Kang Jun-hyeok welcomed it gladly.
“Let’s not draw this out.”
[True Ancestor Awakening.]
Those eyes turned crimson.
