All Master of the 100th Floor, Episode 274
62nd Floor. War Between Hell and Ground (6)
“Exhale.”
Kang Jun-hyeok breathed out.
He had succeeded in victory. Manbyeonggi and Eldyria, whom he had been holding back, let out exclamations.
[Well.]
[You did it.]
He had achieved victory against five enemies of equal rank.
And they were not weak ones either. They all belonged to the upper echelon even among the third tier.
Their coordination was remarkably clean. According to Manbyeonggi and Eldyria’s judgment, it would have been impossible to prevail unless one had reached the fourth tier.
But Kang Jun-hyeok had done it.
It was a flawless victory, bordering on perfection. Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head at the two’s admiration.
“It’s not that remarkable. The information imbalance was significant.”
[That too is skill. If someone calls it cowardly because the defeated opponent hid their strength, they’re simply a fool. In reality, you succeeded in grasping your opponent’s power nearly to perfection.]
[At this level… he cannot be seen as merely third tier. But calling him fourth tier seems insufficient. He exists somewhere in between. Perhaps he could reach the fourth tier in an instant.]
Both voices carried considerable excitement. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a light laugh and caught his breath.
He had achieved victory, and received a reward befitting it.
He could already feel that he had become stronger than before.
He wanted to savor the moment leisurely, but there was no time for that. Even now, at the Elf Sanctuary, demons and Surface Dwellers were waging fierce combat.
“Let’s go finish this.”
Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward. His body accelerated in an instant and rushed toward the battlefield.
Since the World Tree Domain had temporarily disappeared, the battle favored the demons. If things continued this way, defeat would come within days.
Whether they sensed him or not, the demons’ faces were etched with struggle, while the Surface Dwellers’ faces bore despair.
Before them, Kang Jun-hyeok lightly drew his great sword.
He plunged into the gaps between the demons and brought the great sword crashing down.
Boom!
“Aaahhh!”
“Gahhhhh!”
Dozens of demons fell dead in a single strike. The demons who sensed Kang Jun-hyeok’s presence had their faces turn black.
“Ah… ah!”
“You, you, you!”
Kang Jun-hyeok had appeared here.
It meant that five intermediate demons had been defeated.
It was their loss.
“Damn it!”
“Kill him! Kill him somehow! He won’t be in perfect condition!”
Yet the demons did not give up despite this. They threw their lives at Kang Jun-hyeok in attack. He lightly flicked his wrist.
Crackle-crack-crack-crack!
Dozens of demons died all at once.
Most of his strength had been consumed, as the demons had predicted, but that posed no problem. There was an unbridgeable gap between them. With the morale boosted by the sight of Kang Jun-hyeok, the Surface Dwellers also joined, and the battlefield was organized in an instant.
Thud.
After disposing of the last demon, Kang Jun-hyeok put his weapon away.
The Elf Elder who came running breathlessly—Haiinio—stammered with a shocked expression.
“You… you won! In this world! In such a world!”
Haiinio could feel it.
Four intermediate demons with terrifying power had descended.
At that moment, Haiinio had given up halfway. There was no way Kang Jun-hyeok could defeat such opponents. Even though he had not sensed the Assassin, they were still enemies worth giving up on.
Yet Kang Jun-hyeok had achieved victory and come here.
“You are… you are…”
A gaze close to worship was directed at Kang Jun-hyeok. And it was not only Haiinio. Countless Surface Dwellers were sending their gazes toward him.
“Let’s start with the cleanup.”
“Ah. Yes.”
At Kang Jun-hyeok’s words, Haiinio belatedly came to his senses.
The survivors dealt with the aftermath of battle. The demons, as if they had given up, no longer attacked. As a result, a few days later, the sacred realm of the World Tree was completed without any particular issues.
Shiiiiing!
A radiant sacred realm unfolded across a vast expanse.
It was an absolute barrier. Even if a demon lord descended directly, it could not be easily destroyed. It was practically a guarantee of survival.
“Ah…”
“We survived. We have survived…”
In a way, they were in a state not unlike animals within a cage.
In the end, they would not be able to leave outside the sacred realm until they grew old and died.
Yet they were happy with the fact that they had survived. Kang Jun-hyeok regarded them intently.
They had succeeded in surviving before the destruction of the world.
Though limited, caged like animals, survival was survival. In a way, it mirrored Kang Jun-hyeok’s own goal.
But Kang Jun-hyeok had no intention of stopping here. Resolve crystallized in his eyes.
“Ah…”
“Thank you! Thank you!”
The survivors expressed their gratitude to Kang Jun-hyeok. A rumor was spreading unstoppably that he was the avatar of a god who had descended personally for their sake.
[Proficiency of Lost God’s Divine Radiance has increased significantly.]
[Proficiency of Lost God’s Sacred Realm has increased significantly.]
[Divine Power + 4]
The Lost God’s Scripture was being filled rapidly. It was a modest but pleasant reward.
But the real reward lay elsewhere.
A few days later, Haiinio came to find Kang Jun-hyeok.
“You have done so much for us. Thanks to you, we were able to survive.”
Haiinio handed over an enormous amount of resources.
“Here. These are our treasures. They are now useless to us, but… I suspect they will be different in your hands.”
And then.
With a careful expression, he offered a tree root.
“A root of the World Tree, which you desired. A portion of it.”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes shone.
What it contained was pure life force and the aura of nature itself.
Even including his previous life, it was extremely rare to have obtained materials of this caliber. Everything he had obtained before was from the 70th Floor onward.
Yet to obtain it on the 62nd Floor. Kang Jun-hyeok suppressed the smile trying to rise and took hold of the root.
“Thank you.”
“We should be thanking you.”
Haiinio, who seemed to be contemplating for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I… know that you are not an avatar of a god.”
A god’s avatar would have no reason to desire the root of the World Tree.
“And perhaps you are not even a being of this world.”
You are far too strong.
And foreign.
A being from somewhere else. That was Haiinio’s judgment.
“But it does not matter. You are our savior. I thank you sincerely. May the blessings of the Elves follow your path.”
With a quiet voice, the world distorted.
[62nd Floor Quest Clear.]
[Rewards are determined based on your achievement.]
[Checking achievement rate…]
[Check complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards are being issued.]
[The effect of Title: Perfect Player has been added.]
[42,314 Gold has been awarded.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [World Tree Root Fragment] has been obtained.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [Title: Savior] has been obtained.]
[Player who Perfect Cleared the 62nd Floor: 1.]
[You alone!]
[Universal Announcement.]
[Congratulations, everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 62nd Floor has appeared. An achievement no one has accomplished until now!]
[Achievement + 8]
It was a perfect clear.
There were numerous changes, and just as much to confirm. Kang Jun-hyeok opened the skill window with delight.
[Passive Skill: Curse Resistance]
[Grade: Low]
[Proficiency: F]
[Resistance to curses. You possess moderate resistance to curses.]
He had acquired a resistance skill for the first time in a while. Curses were numerous in variety and not easy to counter. Obtaining resistance to them was a good thing.
[Passive Skill: Divine Technique]
[Grade: Unique]
[Proficiency: C]
[The Divine Technique of the Fallen One. All Rivers Return to the Sea—all things eventually converge into the great stream. You can wield the techniques you have learned at a mastered level.]
[Integrated Techniques]
[1. White Sword Swordsmanship (Intermediate)]
[2. Erlaon Hashika’s Dagger Technique (Lowest Grade)]
[3. Scale Sword Technique (Intermediate)]
[4. Cold Water Sword Technique (Low Grade)]
[5. Iron Wall Fist (Low Grade)]
.
.
.
[44. Ten Thousand Swords Return to One (Intermediate)]
And the proficiency of Manbyeonggi’s Divine Technique had risen.
He had thought it would take a long time to reach C, but this was unexpected.
Now he could wield Manbyeonggi’s techniques at a mastered level. Kang Jun-hyeok drew a dagger.
Crack-crack-crack.
He controlled the power.
Using the second profound principle, Self-Power Unity, he deployed the first sword form, Raging Wind Heaven Slash. He did not stop at once, but unleashed Raging Wind Heaven Slash in rapid succession—a second time, a third, a fourth, a fifth.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
Accumulated power rose like a storm. If it burst forth as is, it could blow away even such a small building by the roots.
He drew that power directly back into his Dantian.
As if nothing had happened at all, silence reigned supreme.
It was perfect control. Even Manbyeonggi was somewhat astonished.
[I never expected you to reach that level so quickly.]
“It’s good.”
[Not bad at all. In the concept of handling power purely, even the fourth tier would be insufficient before you.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression became satisfied.
The Tower System granted the most power when facing strong enemies, after all.
But it did not end here.
[Active Skill: Enhancement]
[Grade: Unique]
[Proficiency: E]
[Cooldown: 30 minutes]
[When used alongside this skill while activating an active skill, you can activate it with proficiency raised one tier. The maximum proficiency that can be raised is B. There is no limit to grade.]
With Enhancement reaching E, the cooldown had been reduced from one hour to thirty minutes. Operating efficiency had doubled. It was an excellent change for such a powerful skill.
Dragon Scale’s health and defense ratio had changed from double to triple. The already sturdy defense skill had become even more wondrous in its defensive power.
Mana Control’s duration had extended to 4 seconds, and Mana Box could now combine boxes to create larger and stronger ones.
What he had obtained was not limited to skills.
He had also acquired two titles.
[Title: Master of Combat]
[A special title given only to Masters of Combat.]
[All Stats + 10.]
Master of Combat.
It was a title that had reached the upper echelon among titles. Literally a title given only to those who had performed countless perfect battles, and in his previous life, fewer than five people had possessed this title.
It was that simple and terrifyingly powerful in effect. All Stats + 10 without any conditions. It was as if ten levels had been gained.
[Title: Savior]
[A title given to those who saved people before destruction.]
[All Stats + 5 when facing imminent destruction.]
And the Savior title.
The condition of facing imminent destruction seemed difficult, but it was unexpectedly simple.
Universal Quest.
And the 70th Floor onward.
At that point, it was an always-active title. Practically equivalent to All Stats + 5 without conditions.
Titles were difficult to obtain, which was why their effects were powerful.
Specifically, if Kang Jun-hyeok satisfied the activation conditions for all his titles, he would gain a stat increase exceeding 50 across all stats.
It was a level that could reverse advantage against higher tiers.
‘At this rate, the fourth tier won’t be far off.’
They were rewards worth staking one’s life for.
But it did not end here.
At last, the Achievement stat had exceeded 300.
And the Achievement stat conferred special benefits upon reaching certain thresholds.
A system window appeared before Kang Jun-hyeok.
[Congratulations. Your Achievement stat has reached 300. A remarkable accomplishment!]
[We will grant you special benefits based on your achievement.]
[Achievement 300 Reward.]
[You may raise the grade of one skill by one tier.]
[The maximum grade that can be raised is High Grade.]
