All Master of 100 Floors Episode 246
53rd Floor. Monster Lair (1)
[Title: Monster Lair as Always. But Damn, They’re Strong.]
[Just surviving is overwhelming. It’s getting harder and harder.]

* * *
Kang Jun-hyeok had entered the 52nd Floor.
Graduating from the 52nd Floor itself was the objective. Without any particular anomalies, the priority was to graduate as quickly as possible, even by a single day. Kang Jun-hyeok activated his skill.
[Crack Piercing.]
[Sword Qi Blade Wind.]
Crash!
The Sword Qi imbued with Victor’s Authority flew violently, shattering the Barrier and destroying the wooden Puppet. The Teacher watching from the side trembled.
“Heavens! To shatter a 3rd Tier Defense Shield with a single strike!”
In Superpowers, strength was distinguished by a designation called Level. It was merely a different term of expression, but it held the same meaning as Hierarchy.
Right now, Kang Jun-hyeok had destroyed a 3rd Tier Defense Shield with a single blow.
Normally, it would have required considerable effort, but with Crack Piercing, it was resolved perfectly. The shocked Teacher exhaled a long sigh.
“There is nothing more we can teach you at this Academy. Go forth! Step into the world and unfold your abilities!”
“Understood.”
Kang Jun-hyeok left the Academy along with his graduation gift.
[52nd Floor Quest Clear.]
[Rewards are determined according to your achievements.]
[Checking Achievement Rate…]
[Verification Complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional Rewards are being granted.]
[The effect of Title: Perfect Player has been added.]
[4,423 Gold has been granted.]
[You have obtained the Perfect Clear Reward [Superpower Awakening Device].]
[Players who have Perfect Cleared the 52nd Floor: 5.]
[Universal Announcement.]
[Congratulations to all of you across the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 52nd Floor has appeared.]
[Achievement + 2]
There were as many as five Perfect Players of the 52nd Floor.
The Clear Condition was graduating at a fast pace. With only one condition, powerful Espers found it not particularly difficult to reach Perfect Clear. Pixie showed no particular reaction and spoke only about the Second Universe Quest.
[Surely. Hunger Growing in the Cracks. Not only did he send down an Apostle, but he even granted the liberation of the Crevice. I didn’t expect that bastard would go that far.]
“I’m aware.”
[He made such an intervention? News spread throughout the entire Universe. That arrogant bastard has really dug himself into a hole.]
Pixie laughed with delight.
[That bastard crossed the line. The Master of the Universe will punish him directly. Probably for years to come, he won’t be able to interfere or intervene with you. Not only that, he’ll lose a considerable portion of his own power.]
Pixie’s eyes gleamed with light.
[Countless Gods and Transcendents rushed at him, yet they couldn’t inflict a single wound. All their attacks were blocked by the Crevice and vanished. But you—you dealt him a tremendous blow. Do you understand how extraordinary that is?]
“He simply collapsed on his own.”
[That alone is something we couldn’t accomplish. …Thank you. For landing a hit on him.]
Pixie spoke in a subdued voice, her words carrying the genuine gratitude of one who had failed to save the Universe. Kang Jun-hyeok nodded calmly. After composing herself, Pixie’s expression turned playful.
[Naturally, you’re drawing considerable attention for accomplishing such a feat. Everything up until now feels like child’s play in comparison. Perhaps… there are those who would bear any burden just to meet you.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s face contorted slightly.
“That sounds tedious.”
[If you can overcome it, it won’t be a bad thing for you. And you will overcome it.]
Pixie laughed with a peculiar glint in her eyes.
[The Victor’s Authority you obtained consists of four abilities: Crevice Piercing, Crevice Distortion, Crack Movement, and Rooting.]
Four in total.
[You see, you’re a being of the Universe while simultaneously possessing Authority from Outside the Universe. You can wield both forces at once. What kind of result will that bring about? I’m looking forward to seeing it.]
[400 Starlight.]
Pixie departed. Kang Jun-hyeok gazed at that place for a moment before beginning to examine his rewards.
[Psychic Power Awakening Device]
[A device that awakens Psychic Power and amplifies its might. Extremely unstable and dangerous, but its effects are certain.]
Kang Jun-hyeok activated the device immediately. The warning about danger proved no exaggeration—his body convulsed violently. Only after losing over 200 Health Points did it finally stabilize.
[Psychic Power + 10]
Even accounting for Psychic Power’s relatively low base value, this was a substantial increase.
The Perfect Player Title granted Psychic Power + 1. For a Quest that was relatively straightforward, the reward was quite generous.
Three days later, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 53rd Floor.
[53rd Floor Quest.]
[Secure your Territory within the Monsters’ Lair.]
[The Quest will conclude in one week.]
The 53rd Floor Quest was straightforward.
A massive cavern teeming with countless Monsters.
All he needed to do was establish and defend his Territory there. It was a Quest format he’d completed many times before. Accordingly, Kang Jun-hyeok moved without hesitation.
Crash!
He pulverized and destroyed the nearby Monsters. The cavern designated for the 53rd Floor Quest harbored no ordinary creatures. A colossal serpent opened its maw.
[Shhhhhhh!]
Hundreds of spines hurtled forward at supersonic velocity. Shape Hydra—a Monster that fired countless spines with atomic-level sharpness at supersonic speeds in an endless barrage. It possessed supreme-tier Attack Power that easily pierced conventional defenses.
Kang Jun-hyeok spread his arms wide.
[Crevice Distortion.]
All that force was sucked into the Crevice and vanished. The serpent’s neck was severed cleanly as it flailed in panic.
[Uooooong!]
A massive turtle Monster rolled forward. Giant Turtle—its carapace possessed a hardness on an entirely different level. Even Kang Jun-hyeok now would require considerable effort to break it.
[Crevice Piercing.]
Crack!
That impenetrable shell shattered in a single strike.
The next Monster he faced was weasel-shaped, constantly targeting blind spots with relentless speed and agility.
[Crack Movement.]
[Crack Movement.]
I close the distance in an instant with Crack Movement. I catch up to the ferret attempting to flee in terror using Crack Movement and dispatch it.
Finally, there was the one dominating the largest territory.
Evil Ant.
A tree shaped like a human face spread its roots violently, attempting to swallow Kang Jun-hyeok whole.
Kang Jun-hyeok placed his hand lightly upon the ground.
[Root Down.]
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch!
The Evil Ant’s roots are devoured in reverse. It panics and attempts to sever its roots, but they have already burrowed deep into its body. In an instant, the Evil Ant is consumed entirely by the roots and withers away.
[How impressive.]
Eldyria let out a hollow laugh.
Right now, Kang Jun-hyeok is formidable.
Mere monsters of the 53rd Floor were no match for him.
Yet even accounting for that, the speed was abnormal. He had cleared this entire vast territory in just a single day. And in this, the Victors’ Authority was playing a tremendous role.
An Authority transcending the very concept of the Universe.
It was truly in a different league.
It could shatter the shell of a Giant Turtle—a being boasting exceptional hardness even on a Universal scale—in a single strike, and could consume the entirety of the Evil Ant, which endlessly spread its roots to absorb nearly infinite Vitality, leaving it withered and desiccated.
[Even an opponent of clearly superior standing would find their chances of victory uncertain against you.]
Eldyria murmured. Kang Jun-hyeok had cleared the 53rd Floor in an instant.
[53rd Floor Quest Clear.]
[Rewards are determined according to your achievements.]
[Checking Achievement Rate….]
[Check Complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional Rewards are being granted.]
[The effect of Title: Perfect Player has been added.]
[8,531 Gold has been granted.]
[You have obtained Perfect Clear Reward [Spine of Shape Hydra].]
[You have obtained Perfect Clear Reward [Shell of Earth Turtle].]
[You have obtained Perfect Clear Reward [Root Fragment of Evil Ant].]
[Players who have Perfect Cleared the 53rd Floor: 1.]
[You alone!]
[Universal Announcement.]
[Please celebrate! Everyone throughout the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 53rd Floor has appeared. This is an Achievement no one has accomplished until now!]
[Achievement + 4]
The Perfect Player Title grants Attack Power + 1.
And the rewards were all materials.
[Spine of Shape Hydra]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Scales shot at supersonic speed. Refined through special processes within the Hydra’s body, each possesses a cross-section measured in mere atoms.]
[Shell of the Earth Turtle]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[The carapace of a turtle symbolizing the earth itself. Possessing a unique atomic structure, it cannot be scratched by ordinary means.]
[Root Fragment of the Evil Ant]
[Grade: High Grade]
[A root fragment of the Evil Ant that devours all life. The more power it absorbs, the more colossal the root becomes.]
Two Intermediate Materials. And one High Grade Material. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately sought out the Blacksmith and handed them over. The Blacksmith’s expression grew intrigued.
“You’ve brought some worthwhile materials. What do you desire?”
“A Sword, if you please. And Shoes as well.”
It had been quite some time since I’d obtained a decent Sword. The Shoes were also due for replacement. The Blacksmith nodded.
“Understood. Return in three days.”
Afterward, I summoned Pixie and transferred the memory to her. After obtaining 100 Starlight, I spent three days resting and consolidating my strength.
When I returned to the Blacksmith, he handed over two Divine Weapons.
“First, the Shoes. I crafted them using the Shell of the Earth Turtle. Quite a sturdy piece has been completed.”
[Shell Shoes]
[Equipment Slot: Shoes]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Strength + 5]
[Defense + 30]
[The Shell of the Earth Turtle has been perfectly refined into the form of Shoes. Sturdy yet elastic in absorption, offering the wearer absolute comfort.]
For mere Shoes, the Defense bonus was a remarkable 30. Kang Jun-hyeok whistled in appreciation. Next, he presented the Sword.
“The spines of the Shape Hydra are extraordinarily sharp, but they shatter under even light impact. So I stabilized the form using the roots of the Evil Ant.”
[Root Spine Sword]
[Equipment Slot: Weapon]
[Grade: High Grade]
[Attack Power + 130]
[The spines of the Shape Hydra have been stabilized by the roots of the Evil Ant. It boasts an ultimate cutting power capable of severing all it touches.]
130.
By far the greatest among all the weapons I possessed. Kang Jun-hyeok eagerly equipped himself with the new gear.
“Thank you.”
“I enjoyed it as well. Come again next time. And… if you grow just a bit stronger, we’ll soon be able to proceed with the next Quest.”
“I shall await that moment.”
Next, Kang Jun-hyeok sought out the Madman. He came rushing over with enthusiasm to greet me.
“You’ve arrived!”
“Is it complete?”
“It is! I struggled considerably—truly, it was exhausting beyond measure—but somehow I managed to complete it!”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes gleamed with light.
The first Supreme Grade Material I had obtained in this life.
And it was a Victor’s material at that. After refining it, I had finally created a piece of Equipment. The Madman grinned widely and extended a Ring toward Kang Jun-hyeok.
