All Master of 100 Floors Episode 266
60th Floor. Six-Eyed Octopus (2)
Crash-crash-crash-crash!
Dozens of legs sweep relentlessly toward him. Kang Jun-hyeok slashes wildly with his blade and axe, striking them aside again and again.
[Crack Movement.]
Using the opening he creates, he leaps through the gap.
Closing the distance to the six-eyed octopus, Kang Jun-hyeok draws his spear. The creature lashes out viciously with its leg, and he twists his body. The limb scrapes past his side as his spear drives hard into the creature’s torso.
Clang!
But it doesn’t pierce.
The powerful repulsion sends Kang Jun-hyeok’s body reeling backward. He clicks his tongue.
“So even a counter doesn’t work.”
A passive skill that doubles damage when countered precisely. He’d activated it, yet dealt no damage at all.
When confronting a Victor, Kang Jun-hyeok’s entire stat line rose by 20 thanks to his titles.
Despite being several stages above his usual state, this meant he faced an opponent truly beyond his reach.
‘Not like this, then.’
Making a quick decision, Kang Jun-hyeok stores his weapons. Just as the six-eyed octopus swings at him, his body returns to the entrance.
The condition of the 60th Floor: the moment an attack connects, the floor resets. Kang Jun-hyeok touched his chin thoughtfully.
“Troublesome indeed.”
The six-eyed octopus.
This creature wielded absolute power against any opponent it could see.
Its attack power and speed rose dramatically, and its defense was brutally high.
Even if he deployed his peak offensive skills—the Red Giant Star or One-Point Pierce—he would barely scratch it. It showed no other notable authority beyond this, but that alone was a formidable wall.
The strategy for clearing the six-eyed octopus was deceptively simple.
It wielded absolute power against any creature it could see.
Conversely, against anything outside its field of vision, it was utterly helpless.
The entire solution boiled down to one thing: strike from ambush without being seen.
But simple in theory meant nearly impossible in practice. The octopus’s vision transcended cosmic concepts entirely. Whether he used mana, internal energy, or psychic power—any method was instantly detected.
Even the Darkness God himself had failed to hide from the six-eyed octopus.
No being in the universe could escape its gaze.
Which meant the real strategy had only two forms.
Kill it from outside its line of sight, or overwhelm it with sheer quantity until its vision created blind spots.
Both were impossible for Kang Jun-hyeok in his current state.
Yet there was no problem. Kang Jun-hyeok loosened his muscles and stepped into the maze. The apostle of the six-eyed octopus that saw him flushed red. It immediately thrust out its legs.
Watching that assault, Kang Jun-hyeok drew his axe.
[Stealth.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s form vanishes.
The octopus’s body shifts from red back to white.
And then—
Crash-crash-crash!
A wound appears on the octopus’s leg.
The six-eyed octopus trembles, its legs thrashing in agony. Manbyeonggi and Eldyria, watching, gasp in shock.
[What—]
[How?]
The six-eyed octopus’s sight is absolute.
Even Transcendents as mighty as they cannot hide once caught in its gaze.
Yet Kang Jun-hyeok hid himself directly in front of it, countering the octopus’s authority. It defied their understanding. Kang Jun-hyeok explained calmly.
“Cosmic beings cannot hide from it precisely because it exists outside. In other words, power of a similar category makes it possible.”
[…A skill.]
“Correct.”
The Tower was created directly by the Master of the Universe.
It was itself a form of authority.
Naturally, the Tower’s skills approached the authority granted by the Master of the Universe.
This meant Tower skills applied even to the Victors’ authority.
The prime example was Stealth itself.
[Active Skill: Stealth]
[Grade: Lowest Grade]
[Proficiency: B]
[Cooldown: 5 Minutes]
[For 10 seconds, all sound, presence, and aura you emit are erased. Additionally, your form is erased for 1 second.]
At Proficiency B, Stealth erased his form itself for one full second.
When Stealth activated, even the six-eyed octopus could not see him. Eldyria, understanding at last, let out a soft laugh.
[Right. You were a Player. You possessed such power. A skill that perfectly counters the six-eyed octopus.]
“For a Player, it is not such a difficult Victor.”
Though the six-eyed octopus possessed an untouchable authority toward cosmic beings, a Player with skills could readily exploit its weaknesses. In fact, as a Victor specialized solely in vision, it was relatively easy to manage.
That said, it wasn’t something he could topple effortlessly.
As Stealth breaks and Kang Jun-hyeok’s form becomes visible again, the octopus writhes in fury. Its body flushes red once more as its legs lash out violently at him.
‘This is where the real problem begins.’
The cooldown on Stealth is five minutes.
And the moment an attack lands, the floor resets.
So for five minutes straight, he cannot allow a single attack to connect—he must counter everything.
Not just once, but repeatedly.
But it’s possible. Kang Jun-hyeok steadies his breath. He plants his back against the wall. He gathers his power, drives force through his legs, and stamps down. The power around him settles into stillness.
A deep resonance.
Absolute control over power itself.
The Limitless Heaven-Earth Suppression Domain.
Upper left. He deflects the blade to the side, letting it slide past. Lower right. He lifts his feet off the ground and twists his body. Straight ahead. He hardens and repels the force. A simultaneous assault from all directions. He lowers his stance and draws his dagger.
Using the first principle of the All Weapons—Reverse Momentum Strong Absorption Wave Stance—he absorbs the force, guides it, and cancels it out against itself.
Crash-crash-crash-crash-crash-crash!
Within seconds, dozens of assaults rain down one after another, and he blocks, deflects, and parries every single one.
Screech!
A leg lunges for his blind spot. But within the Limitless Heaven-Earth Suppression Domain, no blind spot exists. He twists to evade, guides the leg’s force, and strikes down another limb with it.
The six-eyed octopus’s apostle is indeed formidable.
Its power is difficult for even Kang Jun-hyeok to counter.
But it is simple.
Without technique or subtlety, it merely swings its tremendous power recklessly.
With the power he’s accumulated, he can respond adequately. The octopus grows excited, attacking even harder. But the more excited, the simpler it becomes—and it cannot connect.
Five minutes pass like this.
[Stealth.]
[Crack Movement.]
[Enhancement. Internal Energy. One-Point Pierce.]
Crash-crash-crash-crash-crack!
The spear pierces through the octopus’s body. A terrible wound is carved into it. The creature trembles in agony, thrashing violently in all directions. Kang Jun-hyeok springs back lightly.
He doesn’t aim for the eyes. They are merely a convincing façade. Meaningless.
Screech-screech-screech!
The octopus, maddened by pain, attacks with even greater ferocity. But Kang Jun-hyeok pushes off with renewed strength, moving fluidly. He blocks, deflects, parries.
[Stealth.]
And once more he drives his blade into its body.
Crash-crash-crash!
The octopus unleashes its power even more violently. As if determined not to endure further, it hurls itself as though trying to crush space itself. Kang Jun-hyeok plants his feet.
[Instant Acceleration.]
His body accelerates.
The octopus, enraged, gives chase. Its legs thrash wildly, struggling to grab him.
[Pixie’s Wings.]
Kang Jun-hyeok spreads wings as he moves. A leg thrusts toward his back; using the Limitless Heaven-Earth Suppression Domain, he reads its trajectory and every countermeasure. The octopus, frantically pursuing his erratic flight, belatedly realizes something is wrong.
[!!!!]
Its legs become entangled, twisted, knotted together.
“Pathetic.”
Kang Jun-hyeok smirks lightly.
The six-eyed octopus’s apostle writhes in even greater fury.
It is the guardian of the 60th Floor.
Many Players have come before it, yet none have stood against it. Even the fools who initially came swinging with confidence gave up after a few exchanges, fleeing desperately from its sight.
But this tiny Player not only wounded it—he was mocking it.
The six-eyed octopus’s rage spirals beyond control. Heavier, more savage attacks begin to rain down.
Clang!
Tremendous force bears down on Kang Jun-hyeok.
‘It is strong.’
The six-eyed octopus’s apostle.
Its attack power surpasses Kang Jun-hyeok’s own. With absolute sight-based authority and defense raised to extremes, his full strength cannot wound it.
Without Stealth, confrontation would be impossible.
A special foe that can only be toppled through skills alone.
The value of his skills rose immeasurably.
And at such times, skill proficiency climbs faster than ever.
[Pixie’s Mana Control.]
[Pixie’s Mana Box.]
Countless rays of light poured forth at once, enough to obscure the creature’s vision. The octopus shook mockingly.
You think such a thing can blind my eyes?
The six-eyed octopus’s sight cannot be blocked by mere blindness. As it was about to force through with raw power—
[Stealth.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s form is erased from the world.
The octopus’s body shifts to white, and a violent impact engulfs its entire being.
Crash-crash-crash-crash-crash!
When the six-eyed octopus can see its opponent, it boasts absolute power.
Conversely, the moment the opponent’s form is erased, that power vanishes. It was even possible to set up attacks beforehand, then erase one’s form mid-execution.
Damage was beginning to accumulate noticeably on the octopus. A sense of danger stirred in its mind.
It had to reset somehow.
The octopus’s attack pattern shifted. Rather than harming Kang Jun-hyeok, it focused purely on landing even a single hit. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes grow serious.
[True Ancestor Awakening.]
[Block.]
Crash-crash-crash!
He deploys a skill held in reserve until now. Kang Jun-hyeok snaps his fingers.
[Red Giant Star.]
A piercing shriek.
A fragment of the dying sun descends into the present world. While it cannot wound the octopus’s body, it is sufficient to slow its attacks. On top of that, he activates the Lost God’s Divine Radiance to further defend.
And then Kang Jun-hyeok draws a shield from the All Weapons.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
Struck repeatedly, the shield expands in an instant. The Rooted Slime Great Shield—its size grows proportional to the damage received. It erases the angle of attack.
Crash-crash-crash-crash-crash!
Just as the violent exchange reaches its peak—
Kang Jun-hyeok is driven to the corner of a wall. The six-eyed octopus has successfully maneuvered him into position.
Screech-screech-screech!
The octopus gathers its legs. They form a pointed skewer shape, and with all its might, it charges.
Impale and kill.
But the six-eyed octopus was mistaken about one thing.
It had not maneuvered him—he had allowed himself to be maneuvered.
Kang Jun-hyeok points his blade forward.
[Infinite Tai Chi.]
An endless tai chi unfolds.
All the power contained in the legs flows into the tai chi, and the creature’s momentum halts completely.
Kang Jun-hyeok pours force into the hand holding the blade. Using the principles of the All Weapons, he channels the power from the tai chi into the sword. He draws together all his internal energy.
[Stealth.]
Heaven-Earth Sword Technique. Form One.
Crash-crash-crack!
The legs are severed cleanly. Kang Jun-hyeok moves forward without pause. The octopus writhes convulsively, attempting to detonate itself. Abandoning all pride, it meant to self-destruct and reset the floor.
But he had read that too.
[Reset. Stealth.]
His form is erased once more.
The repulsion generated by the Heaven-Earth Sword Technique’s first form was contained within the blade. He channels all that power and swings again.
Heaven-Earth Sword Technique. Form One.
Crash-crack-crack-crack!
The six-eyed octopus’s body is split clean in half.
The bisected apostle writhes in desperation, unleashing every scrap of power it possesses, trying by any means to inflict damage.
Crash-crash-crash!
Violent power erupts in all directions.
A single speck of an attack allowed to connect would reset the floor, forcing him to start over.
“No good.”
[Gap Distortion.]
He simply opens a crevice and consumes it.
He crushes the six-eyed octopus’s apostle.
[Thousand Pound Weight.]
Boom!
Its body is driven straight into the maze. The six-eyed octopus trembles briefly, then goes slack.
[Level Up.]
[Strength + 2]
[Speed + 2]
[Internal Energy + 1]
[Divine Technique proficiency has increased.]
[Mental Cultivation Method proficiency has increased.]
.
.
.
[Manbyeonggi’s Mystical Technique proficiency has risen from D to C.]
[Stealth proficiency has risen from B to A.]
