All Master of 100 Floors Episode 307
70th Floor. Battlefield of the Past (3)
A captain of the Empire from Somewhere.
Through their cores, they obtain infinite output.
With a lieutenant’s rank, they wielded the power of the Fourth Tier—capable of tearing the sky asunder and collapsing the earth itself, single-handedly reducing entire civilizations to ash.
Two such captains charged at Kang Jun-hyeok in unison. It was undoubtedly a perilous moment.
Yet Kang Jun-hyeok laughed.
Ka-ka-ka-ka!
He twisted his body to evade the barrage of attacks, slipped past a fired beam as if it were nothing, and thrust his sword forward. The opponent defended. Using the repulsion force against him, he spun his body and kicked at the captain rushing from behind.
Crash!
The captain’s body was driven backward by the tremendous force.
He bent his upper body low. A sharp blade passed just above his head.
Tap.
He bounced off the ground with a spring-like recoil. Using Hermes’ Winged Sandals, he moved through the air and positioned himself above the captain’s head.
Crash!
Crackle.
He drove his leg down with tremendous force. The captain shielded himself with his arms. The ground could not withstand it, and a crater formed.
The captain who had been sent flying charged forward again. Having blocked the attack, that same captain overheated his core and swung his tail.
Screech!
A dizzying flurry of attacks descended upon him all at once.
Kang Jun-hyeok steadied his breathing. He accelerated the blood flowing through his body. Using the True Ancestor’s Authority, he pushed his physical strength and durability to their absolute limits.
Crash!
He blocked, repelled, and struck down the attacks. Using Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts, he controlled the generated force. He heightened his reflexes to their extreme with Telekinesis, and recovered his exhausted muscles with Divine Power.
All his strength harmonized into one, reaching a Supreme Realm. It approached a realm unto itself.
Crash!
He blocked one captain’s attack with his sword. And then unleashed the power contained within it all at once.
Raging Wind Heaven Slash.
Boom!
The captain staggered backward. The other captain spread his arms widely. Countless beams poured down simultaneously.
[Pixie’s Mana Box.]
Dozens of mana boxes rose up and poured forth light in unison. They collided with the beams the captain unleashed, canceling them out.
Within the wave of that power, Kang Jun-hyeok raised his finger.
[Telekinesis Runaway. Piercing.]
A sharp line charged toward the captain. The captain quickly deployed a barrier.
Boom!
The barrier shattered and could not hold.
The opponent was left in a defenseless state. Kang Jun-hyeok did not miss that opening.
[Chains of Subjugation.]
Whoosh!
The Authority of the God of Binding coiled around the captain’s entire body. Though he overheated his core in an attempt to break free, the chains held firm and unyielding.
“You rest for a while.”
Boom!
The captain who had been sent flying came back again, thrusting his blade forward.
Kang Jun-hyeok leaned backward to evade. The captain followed through with his momentum. He intended to create distance and then attack with bombardment.
[Crack Movement.]
That distance closed in an instant.
The captain hastily defended against the unleashed blade.
Close-quarters combat erupted. The captain, through his core, obtained nearly infinite power. With every strike being his full strength, he boasted firepower that could overwhelm cosmic entities.
Yet now the opposite was true. Kang Jun-hyeok’s relentless assault left the captain scrambling to defend.
It meant that the power contained in a single blow from Kang Jun-hyeok was heavier than the captain’s full force.
Earth Gang Qi.
Strong qi infused with the power of the earth.
Even a lieutenant-ranked captain could be pushed back by it. Realizing he had no chance in close-quarters combat, the captain struggled to escape, though it proved difficult.
[Fusion. Inner Strength. Thousand-Root Pendulum and Blooming Petals.]
Petals scattered in all directions, hindering the captain’s movements.
He pressed forward at tremendous speed, managing to close the distance to point-blank range.
[Annihilation Village Mirror.]
Crash.
A blow from point-blank range struck down upon the captain from above. The captain’s body was driven into the earth.
Boom!
[One-Point Pierce.]
Then he drew his sword and plummeted downward.
The blade pierced the core, and the ground around it collapsed. The Captain thrashed about, trying to grab Kang Jun-hyeok, but his arm went limp.
“That’s one.”
Screeeee!
A massive cannon fired. The Captain, barely escaping the Chains of Subjugation, had unleashed his power in fury.
[Ultra-Fusion Annihilation Cannon.]
Boom!
Brilliant light collided with itself and exploded outward.
The Captain charged forward violently. Kang Jun-hyeok pressed lightly into his stance.
[Rooting of the Earth Mother Goddess.]
His defense doubled, and the damage he took was cut in half.
Without bothering with defense, he traded blows with the Captain directly. The barrier shattered instantly. Kang Jun-hyeok raised his sword high.
Heaven and Earth Resonance Qi—Open.
The blade traced a diagonal line through space.
Crash!
A fierce slash carved itself into the surrounding area. It was a force that could twist the very nature of the planet itself, creating permanent change.
And the Captain’s body, struck directly by that attack, began to split slowly. Half of him fell away.
“Ha.”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a quiet laugh.
He had stood against two Lieutenant-ranked Captains of the Fourth Tier and emerged victorious.
And he’d done so with considerable ease. He hadn’t even used most of his supreme-tier skills, let alone his Victor’s Authority.
Before this, facing two Lieutenant-ranked officers would have demanded he stake his life on it. Even then, he would have scraped by with the narrowest of margins.
But he had cleared the 69th Floor, and from that victory had drawn tremendous power.
Now he stood firmly in the upper-middle ranks even among the Fourth Tier. Considering the peculiarity of his abilities, he could claim even more.
“It was worth risking my life to challenge that floor.”
Kang Jun-hyeok murmured with satisfaction as he put his weapon away. Then a voice filled with shock rang out from the distance.
“What is that guy!”
“He defeated two Lieutenant-ranked Captains! Unbelievable!”
They were the Defeated Ones.
Even by their own contemptuous standards—those who mocked and scorned other Players—Kang Jun-hyeok’s power was undeniably remarkable. They approached him with elation written across their faces.
“Ha ha! A powerful reinforcement has arrived!”
“Let’s do this right! Let’s slaughter those bastards!”
The battle continued from there.
There was no significant change from before. The strongest enemy on this floor was, at most, a Lieutenant-ranked Captain of the Fourth Tier. Even that was terrifying enough in difficulty, but Kang Jun-hyeok had repeatedly challenged beyond the bounds of his floor.
Floors with fixed upper limits like this were actually not difficult for him.
[Spirit Summoning. Mirror Shadow Spirit. Muu.]
He summoned the Shadow Spirit and deployed it to the battlefield. Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward. The charging Captains were crushed and vanished in an instant. Warships fired beams from the distance. Kang Jun-hyeok raised a finger.
[Pixie’s Mana Control.]
[Pixie’s Mana Box.]
Thousands of boxes materialized at once.
Light engulfed the world. The warships erupted and were obliterated. Seven warships were destroyed in an instant.
“Ohhh!”
“Incredible!”
The Defeated Ones cried out in amazement.
And it was no different for the other Players. Dang Jung-ryeong and Astra stared at Kang Jun-hyeok as though entranced.
“In this world……”
“Such power exists.”
By Kang Jun-hyeok’s standards, the 70th Floor was easy.
But not for the others.
At best, they were at the peak of the Second Tier or at the level of the Third Tier. In contrast, enemies appearing on the 70th Floor were at minimum Third Tier, with some reaching the Fourth Tier. For them, it was a wall they had never faced before.
It was standard to awaken to reality on the 70th Floor, to despair and falter.
But Kang Jun-hyeok’s existence changed that.
“As a Player…… is this the kind of power one can attain.”
Kang Jun-hyeok was a Player like them.
Though he had achieved the extraordinary feat of Perfect Clearing every floor, the foundation remained unchanged. Even now, the skills he used in combat were ones they recognized.
Then perhaps they too, one day, could attain such power.
That belief was sufficient for them to hold onto.
As a result, Dang Jung-ryeong and Astra did not give up, but stood and fought against the Captains.
They faced death again and again, endured the scorn of the Defeated Ones, yet refused to break.
As a result, they were growing noticeably stronger.
Players developed most rapidly through life-or-death combat, after all.
Among them, Dok Go-jun’s growth stood out the most. His swordsmanship had become sharper, more refined. At some point, he began achieving meaningful results in battle. Manbyeonggi observed him with keen interest.
[That one is special. Unlike the riffraff, he possesses talent to transcend the wall.]
“That he does.”
And that was precisely what made him the Greatest Martial Artist.
Kang Jun-hyeok watched Dok Go-jun quietly.
‘It’s time to make my move.’
* * *
A week had already passed since they entered the 70th Floor.
During that time, they had steadily defeated the Victors, and the war had tilted to a considerably favorable position.
At this rate, victory would come before long—a remarkable pace compared to how many months other Players took to clear the 70th Floor.
Yet even that was slow when measured against Kang Jun-hyeok’s true strength.
With him fully committed, they could clear the floors far more quickly.
The reason they hadn’t was simple.
He had a purpose beyond clearing floors.
On a night of rest after one battle, Kang Jun-hyeok stood alone beyond a cliff’s edge, gazing into the distance. Then someone approached from behind.
‘Finally.’
It had taken some time. Kang Jun-hyeok turned to face the newcomer.
“Well met.”
“Likewise.”
The Greatest Martial Artist. Dok Go-jun offered a slight smile in greeting.
“You are formidable.”
“So are you. The White Sword Swordsmanship and White Sword Heart Method—you’ve been putting them to good use.”
“……Come to think of it, you are the Perfect Player. You must have achieved a Perfect Clear on that floor.”
Dok Go-jun showed surprise. A Perfect Clear of the 9th Floor granted the Sword Technique and Heart Method of the White Sword Gate.
As intermediate skills, they wielded considerable power. Dok Go-jun himself had mastered that swordsmanship and wielded it to this day.
“A magnificent technique—one that makes illusions real. But it cannot compare to your art.”
Dok Go-jun spoke with genuine admiration.
“It is not merely the technique of swinging a blade. Rather, it approaches something far more fundamental—a concept itself. You suppress and control force itself. Then you make that power your own and wield it. I cannot grasp the details, but such appears to be its nature.”
Remarkably, by observing Kang Jun-hyeok’s battles only a handful of times, Dok Go-jun had discerned the essential character of Manbyeonggi’s Divine Art. Even Manbyeonggi marveled at this.
[To perceive This Lord’s Divine Technique to that extent. Extraordinary. He would stand equal even to a true immortal.]
“It is scarcely comprehensible that such martial arts exist……but I am not so foolish as to deny what stands before my eyes.”
“You did not come merely to express amazement. Why not broach the true matter.”
“It is straightforward.”
Dok Go-jun smiled.
“Teach me your martial arts.”
