All Master of 100 Floors Episode 036

 

 

Floor 5. Monster Forest (4)

 

 

At that moment, the sky trembles. The world shakes as if heaven and earth are being distorted.

What can be felt from the sky is fierce rage.

That emotion is directly shown to Kang Jun-hyeok.

That alone was enough pressure to melt one’s brain. The weak-hearted would not be able to endure and would collapse. They would be distorted and broken, perhaps never to rise again.

However.

“So what.”

Kang Jun-hyeok instead mocked such emotion.

“Is this all you’ve got?”

‘Now I understand why I didn’t see this in my previous life.’

Having faced numerous Victors, Kang Jun-hyeok could tell. The rank of Hunger Growing in the Cracks was on the lower side even among the Victors.

“You gave me a trial. And I won.”

He had accepted the Quest given by the Victor and cleared it perfectly.

Then that was the end of it. No matter how much of a Victor it was, it was still bound by the Tower System. It couldn’t break the rules now and try to kill him or run away.

The sky trembles once more. But as Kang Jun-hyeok said, it cannot take any further action. Eventually, something twisted descends from the sky along with emotions that seem annoyed.

 

[Trial Clear.]

[You have acquired Authority Active Skill: Crack Movement.]

 

“As expected.”

Kang Jun-hyeok’s lips curved upward. It was exactly the reward he had predicted. He couldn’t be more pleased.

“Well then, see you again next time. I hope you’ll prepare a useful trial then too.”

Kang Jun-hyeok mocked once more. The Victor trembled its body once again as if annoyed and withdrew.

At the same time, the floor clear window appeared.

 

[Floor 5 Quest Clear.]

[Rewards will be determined based on your performance.]

[Checking achievement rate….]

[Check complete.]

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be granted.]

[You have acquired Helmet: Ferocious Master’s Head Hide.]

[The effect of Title: Perfect Player has been added.]

[2,598 Gold has been granted.]

[Perfect Clear Reward [You have acquired Weapon: Gloves Made from Gap Hide.]

[You have acquired Perfect Clear Reward [Title: Defiant One].]

[Players who Perfect Cleared Floor 5: 1 person.]

[You are alone!]

[Universe Announcement. Please congratulate! Everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of Floor 5 has appeared. This is a feat that no one has achieved until now!]

[Great Achievement + 7]

[The Victors harbor intense hostility toward you.]

[The Defeated Ones contemplate ways to approach you.]

 

“Everyone’s in an uproar.”

Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled at the system window that appeared afterward. After all the system windows ended, Kang Jun-hyeok returned to his home. Manbyeonggi spoke with a trembling voice.

[You are.]

“I know you’re in a hurry, but wait a moment. Let me check what I got first.”

[Understood.]

Manbyeonggi became quiet. Kang Jun-hyeok checked what he had obtained.

First, in the process of dealing with the Dog Monster, he had used various skills, and their proficiency had increased considerably. Some of them had even changed stages.

 

[Active Skill: Spear Throwing]

[Grade: Lowest]

[Proficiency: D]

[Cooldown: None]

[Throws a spear accurately and powerfully toward the target. The used spear is consumed. You can throw spears directly from inventory without taking them out.]

 

As proficiency increased from F to D, the power of spear throwing increased and convenience was added.

Without having to take out a spear, if he had one in his inventory, he could activate the Spear Throwing skill directly.

“That’s good.”

It was quite useful. Spear Throwing was certainly powerful, but there was a series of processes: putting away the great sword, taking out a spear, then activating the skill.

This change perfectly solved that drawback. The disadvantage of spears being consumed still existed, but even considering that, it could be used effectively. As long as he could cover the gold consumption, it was a powerful skill.

 

[Passive Skill: Observation]

[Grade: Lowest]

[Proficiency: D]

[The power to observe things and find answers. When looking at something, you can find answers faster and more accurately. You can deduce even things you see for the first time, and can guess even twisted things.]

 

The proficiency of the Observation skill also went straight from F to D. It was a remarkable speed. He was extremely pleased.

The Perfect Player title also gained a new effect of Strength + 2. He also obtained a new title called Defiant One.

 

[Title: Defiant One]

[A title given to you who defied a Victor and won.]

[When facing Victors or their kin, minions, slaves, etc., Strength stat increases by +1, Speed stat increases by +1.]

 

Stat increases when dealing with Victors. Considering he would be clashing with them persistently in the future, it was very useful.

Next was equipment.

 

[Ferocious Master’s Head Hide]

[Part: Helmet]

[Grade: Low Grade]

[Strength + 2]

[Defense + 3]

[Made into a helmet by processing the head hide of the Forest Master.]

 

First was the basic clear reward. Decent strength and defense. Not outstanding, but usable equipment.

And next, the Perfect Clear reward.

 

[Gauntlet Made from Gap Leather]

[Part: Wristguards]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Strength + 2]

[Speed + 1]

[Defense + 3]

[Equipment Ability: 10% chance to nullify damage.]

[Gauntlet made by tearing the leather of a dog that moves through gaps. Within it lies a portion of twisted divine power.]

 

“…Hah.”

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a hollow laugh.

What was this?

10% chance to nullify damage? What kind of ridiculous effect was this?

“This is really absurd.”

But even this wristguard equipment paled in comparison to the reward that was to come.

From here on was the highlight of the Floor 5 rewards.

 

[Active Skill: Crack Movement]

[Grade: Divine Power]

[Proficiency: F]

[Cooldown: 10 minutes]

[Can move through gaps within visual range.]

 

“…”

Kang Jun-hyeok was speechless.

‘I expected this, but.’

He never thought it would have exactly the effect he anticipated. Movement through gaps within visual range. Essentially, it meant he could instantly move anywhere as long as it was within sight.

Kang Jun-hyeok tested the skill. His target was a small crack in the wallpaper at the far end of the house.

[Crack Movement.]

Swoosh.

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body disappeared through the crack and immediately appeared at the far end. It was movement without delay or time lag.

“…Ha.”

Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t help but burst into hollow laughter.

This was truly absurd.

To obtain spatial movement skills, magic’s Blink and superpowers’ Spatial Leap were typical examples.

But all of those had considerably high grades. They started at intermediate level at minimum, and even those had significant consumption costs. Naturally, their acquisition conditions were also brutal.

In contrast, Crack Movement had no consumption cost and no particular restrictions. Even the cooldown was only 10 minutes.

This alone was enough to satisfy most problems with movement-type skills.

‘As expected.’

The rewards obtainable when involved with Victors or the defeated were literally on a different dimension. Kang Jun-hyeok was extremely satisfied.

He had finished checking everything he had obtained.

Then it was time to discuss the next matter. Kang Jun-hyeok asked Manbyeonggi.

“I’m done checking. So what did you want to ask me?”

[What if.]

Manbyeonggi slowly began to speak.

[What if you didn’t have Spear Throwing, if I wasn’t there, how would you have cleared it?]

“Ah.”

Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled.

“So that’s what you wanted to ask? That’s what you were curious about?”

[I know it’s a foolish question.]

Kang Jun-hyeok had been able to defeat the dog because of Spear Throwing’s guaranteed hit and his ability to freely draw spears through Manbyeonggi.

So could he have cleared it without those two things?

Wasn’t it the skill that was amazing, not you?

As Manbyeonggi himself said, it was a foolish question. Kang Jun-hyeok had obtained those two things through his pure ability. But even so, he couldn’t bear it. Understanding those feelings, Kang Jun-hyeok readily answered.

“Then I would have found another method. For example, changing the environment.”

[Changing the environment?]

“That thing doesn’t move freely through space.”

It only moved through gaps in objects. You could tell just by how it never appeared above Kang Jun-hyeok’s head.

Then the countermeasure was simple.

Remove all the gaps that existed in the surroundings.

Turn the clearing into completely flat ground.

“Of course, the opponent wouldn’t just stand by and watch. It would interfere and try to create gaps itself. But gaps created that way, I could guide.”

Beyond reading patterns, guide where it would jump out from. Then no matter how fast the dog was, there would inevitably be an unavoidable attack.

[…]

Manbyeonggi quietly thought. Whether the method Kang Jun-hyeok described was possible.

The answer came immediately. It was possible. If it was Kang Jun-hyeok, he had sufficient ability to execute it. It would take an extremely long time, but it wasn’t impossible.

At that moment, Manbyeonggi couldn’t hold back his laughter and burst out.

[Ha, haha. Hahahaha.]

It was an extremely refreshing sound of laughter. Like the laughter of someone whose endless tormenting shackles had been released. The laughter that continued for a while suddenly stopped.

[I had given up. In the final war, I poured out everything and failed. At the end, I let go. I could no longer have any motivation. Even when given another chance, I thought nothing would change.]

When even he had been defeated, what could these weak Players possibly change now?

All of this was just the Master of the Universe’s prank. This future was ultimately decided by their defeat, so what was there to do?

After despair and giving up, Manbyeonggi had planned to wait in the 1st Floor cave where no one could come until everything ended.

[But you pulled me out of that state.]

You cleared the impossible condition I set without thinking and dragged me outside.

After that, Kang Jun-hyeok showed him many things. Achievements that even Manbyeonggi’s own judgment could be wrong about.

And finally.

Kang Jun-hyeok had shown a great feat.

A great feat enough to change Manbyeonggi’s own thoughts.

[You gave me a Quest.]

A Quest to do his duty if he passed the Victor’s trial.

[Insolent bastard. To dare make a proposal to me. If this were when I was alive, I would have torn you apart.]

Despite his words, Manbyeonggi’s voice sounded extremely pleased, contrary to what he said.

[Still, you carried through your will and fulfilled your intention. Good. You presented a Quest to me and cleared it. Then I shall fulfill it. This should be somewhat entertaining.]

 

[Hidden Quest.]

[Gain Manbyeonggi’s recognition.]

[Hidden Quest Cleared.]

[Reward: Everything of Manbyeonggi.]
