All Master of 100 Floors Episode 281
Third Universe Quest (6)
It was nothing short of a ferocious blow.
The power of the surroundings, his own strength, and the opponent’s force—all condensed into a single sword qi.
With Crevice Breaking applied, it penetrated even the very concept of defense. At point-blank range, dodging was nearly impossible.
Yet Sang-yeon moved nonetheless.
Using telekinesis to forcibly move his own body, he reached out toward the descending sword qi.
And power gathered within his palm.
“Heavy.”
A crushing weight.
Crash-crash-crash-crash-crash!
The heavy telekinetic force collided with the sword qi. Crevice Breaking was ultimately a power that pierced defense; if the opponent attacked head-on, it wouldn’t activate.
Boom-boom-boom!
The collision of violent forces resulted in a tremendous explosion. Sang-yeon let out a small gasp, but his body bore no major wounds.
But that didn’t matter. He had already succeeded in closing the distance.
He drew the dagger and planted his foot.
Slash!
He slashed toward the shoulder. Sang-yeon twisted to evade, but the dagger’s trajectory flowed like water, following his evasion perfectly.
He swept his legs to impede movement and waved his arms to confound the opponent’s response.
Slash-slash-slash-slash!
In an instant, Sang-yeon’s entire body was covered in lacerations both great and small.
Kang Jun-hyeok pressed forward relentlessly, thrusting the dagger toward the heart.
Slash!
But in that moment, the dagger froze.
Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.
‘I couldn’t finish him.’
Ten seconds had passed. Sang-yeon bared his teeth.
“Enhancement!”
Crackle-crackle-crack.
An immense telekinetic force reinforced Sang-yeon’s body itself. He planted his feet and drove his fist forward.
A chill ran through the air.
Death Line Awakening activated. He twisted his body quickly. The driven fist whistled through empty air.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
Everything in the air crumbled and shattered. The devastating blow reached several kilometers beyond, its impact immense.
He had wrapped his very body with 4th Tier telekinetic force.
Now Sang-yeon truly possessed the power of the 4th Tier.
“Body enhancement! As one who has reached this through Ability Overload, it’s a technique I find difficult to endure—but if I’m to defeat you, this much is necessary!”
Sang-yeon cried out.
“The enhancement lasts one minute. If you can survive that time, victory is yours!”
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
Everything around collapsed. True 4th Tier power unfolded. It was clearly the power of one who transcended the boundary of life itself—one capable of traveling the cosmos alone.
The driven attacks literally rent the world asunder. Even the shockwave consumed health at a rapid rate—such was the magnitude of the power.
But Kang Jun-hyeok did not retreat.
Instead, he pressed further ahead.
Clang-clang-clang-clang!
He blocked, dodged, and deflected each of Sang-yeon’s attacks. The Absolute World Suppression Domain—the absolute dominion over force itself. As long as it existed, Kang Jun-hyeok understood every concept of power completely.
And though Sang-yeon wielded 4th Tier strength, he was ultimately an Esper. The manner in which he moved his body was hopelessly crude.
If that was the case, victory was possible.
Slash!
Reading the opening, he slashed across the palm. Sang-yeon suppressed a groan and threw a kick.
Boom-boom-boom!
A blow that scorched the entire area.
But it didn’t connect.
Instead, he reversed that very force to strike Sang-yeon’s chest. The violent impact sent Sang-yeon’s body sliding backward.
“Ha, ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!”
Even as he was driven back relentlessly, Sang-yeon’s spirits could not have been higher.
What he wielded now was genuine 4th Tier power.
Its magnitude was unparalleled, so he had told Kang Jun-hyeok to endure.
But Kang Jun-hyeok ignored such counsel entirely and fought to kill him instead. That was precisely why he could not contain his joy.
“Yes! That’s how it should be!”
For he was none other than the universe’s savior.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
He evaded, deflected, and parried attacks any one of which would mean instant death. As a driven fist came at him, Kang Jun-hyeok spun his body, receiving the force and accelerating through it, building rotational momentum.
Then he thrust with all his might.
Thud.
The dagger pierced Sang-yeon’s palm. Just as Sang-yeon grasped the blade to launch a counterattack—
[Thrust.]
Crack-crack-crack!
The skill activated and Kang Jun-hyeok’s body surged forward.
The dagger drove straight through Sang-yeon’s chest.
But it didn’t reach the heart. The body reinforced by telekinesis withstood even Kang Jun-hyeok’s attack. Sang-yeon cried out:
“Unfortunate as it is, my vic—”
As he spoke of victory, Kang Jun-hyeok stamped the ground. Gripping the dagger, he spun and leaped. Sang-yeon hastily drove his fist, but Kang Jun-hyeok dodged with Air Jump.
[Thousand Pound Weight.]
After launching into the air, he channeled weight into the hand gripping the dagger.
The blade pierced through the telekinetic defense and drove into the heart itself. Sang-yeon, pinned to the ground, coughed blood. The enhancement surrounding his body slowly faded.
“Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!”
Sang-yeon burst into uncontrollable laughter.
He had known of Kang Jun-hyeok’s existence.
He possessed considerable information about him and had prepared every possible countermeasure.
But Kang Jun-hyeok did not know him. He didn’t know that Sang-yeon was an Esper, or that his power was destabilized by Ability Overload.
And Sang-yeon’s own power was immense beyond measure. It should have been a fight heavily in his favor.
But what was the result?
Every attack was read, every advantage turned against him. He’d even offered advice to endure—only to be crushed by raw power instead.
Sang-yeon had been defeated.
He would not advance further.
Yet he felt no bitterness. Rather, a sense of liberation filled him. He laughed and gripped Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder.
“Your victory! Go forward! Warrior! This is a gift from the defeated!”
In that moment, a mighty telekinetic force settled into Kang Jun-hyeok’s body.
“So this is where I end. A defeated one who witnessed one who will advance. Not bad. Not bad at all…”
With those final words, Sang-yeon’s form vanished. Manbyeonggi murmured softly:
[Rest now, Sang-yeon. Your role is complete.]
[Your Divine Technique proficiency has risen significantly.]
[Your Mental Cultivation Method proficiency has risen significantly.]
[Your True Ancestor Awakening proficiency has risen significantly.]
[Your Concept Severing proficiency has…]
.
.
.
[Your Thousand Pound Weight proficiency has risen from E to D.]
[Your Air Jump proficiency has risen from E to D.]
[Your Observation proficiency has risen from B to A.]
[Your Control proficiency has risen from B to A.]
[Psychic + 40]
[You have acquired the Active Skill: Telekinesis Overload.]

* * *
“Phew.”
Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled.
He was far from an easy opponent.
Each blow he swung was sufficient to kill, and he was remarkably skilled in combat. As a Defeated one who had fought the Victors countless times, he even understood the gaps in their divine authority.
But Kang Jun-hyeok had won.
And he had earned a fitting reward.
His senses had transformed.
How he perceived his surroundings, his own awareness, his control ability—all had reached a higher tier.
He wished to verify this immediately, but there was no time. Countless human figures began manifesting within the shattered world.
“…Huh? What?”
“What’s happening?”
They were the Players who had been mercilessly swept away by Sang-yeon’s power.
Their return accompanied Kang Jun-hyeok’s victory.
But their expressions were deeply bewildered. They knew that defeating a Defeated one would revive slain Players, yet they couldn’t help but be shocked.
“…Wait. He won?”
“He defeated that monster? Who did?”
The reason was simple.
No one had expected victory.
A being of such terrible power, literally tearing the world asunder. How could one possibly defeat such a force?
Yet they had returned.
The Players’ eyes turned toward Kang Jun-hyeok one by one.
“Huh… huh…”
“Surely not…”
As they hesitantly moved closer, the world warped. Kang Jun-hyeok was transported to an empty white space. Simultaneously, a system window appeared.
[The Third Universe Quest has ended.]
[Calculating contribution rate…]
[100%]
[Remarkable! You alone among all Players in the universe have achieved a 100% contribution rate!]
[Universal Announcement]
[Congratulations, everyone! In the Third Universe Quest, a Player has emerged with a 100% contribution rate. An achievement without equal. We encourage you all to follow their example and continue ascending the Tower with dedication!]
[MVP: Kang Jun-hyeok]
[Excellent! Without you, a perfect clear would have been impossible. A special reward befitting your outstanding achievement awaits.]
[Choose one of the following rewards.]
[1. Gold commensurate with your contribution rate.]
[2. Unique Equipment crafted for you alone.]
[3. Unique Skill crafted for you alone.]
[4. A very special material item.]
[5. Enhancement of Stats commensurate with your contribution rate.]
Five rewards in total.
Which should he choose? Kang Jun-hyeok gathered his thoughts.
First, he would confirm the power he had gained.
There was no time limit for choosing the reward. After verifying the changes, he could fill in any gaps. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his skill window.
[Active Skill: Thousand Pound Weight]
[Grade: High]
[Proficiency: D]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Increases your weight proportionally to twice your health and strength.]
[Active Skill: Air Jump]
[Grade: Low]
[Proficiency: D]
[Cooldown: 5 minutes]
[Allows two additional mid-air jumps.]
Thousand Pound Weight had increased from 1.2x to 2x, and Air Jump now permitted two additional jumps instead of one.
This was a sufficiently excellent improvement.
But compared to the skills he would check next, it was relatively minor.
[Passive Skill: Control]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: A]
[Dominion over all things. You govern all within yourself and a certain range. You can control the skill’s power, range, and ability itself, altering them at will.]
The moment proficiency reached A, the skill evolved further.
It transcended the bounds of ordinary ability, approaching something almost supernatural.
When Stealth reached A proficiency, one could separate from the world and shift to another dimension.
And Control, upon reaching A proficiency, saw its description grow shorter.
Yet that did not diminish its worth. His own heightened senses proved it.
He possessed a sense of omnipotence.
Within a five-meter radius centered on himself, he could dominate all things. By will alone, he could caress and shake the very world.
Within that dominion lay even the concepts of the universe and its physical laws.
Kang Jun-hyeok slowly restrained his breathing. His lung movements gradually diminished, finally ceasing entirely.
It was law that any living being required breath to survive.
Yet now, with breath suspended, Kang Jun-hyeok was unaffected.
He could walk through air thick with poison, through radiation-tainted lands, through extreme heat and bitter cold—suffering no ill effect whatsoever.
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled.
He was now capable of traversing the cosmos alone.
