All Master of 100 Floors Episode 059

 

Floor 10. Vampire Princess (2)

 

Eldyria fell silent. Kang Jun-hyeok waited quietly. After a moment, Eldyria opened her mouth.

 

“You said you were raised as my servant, as my guard.”

 

“That’s correct.”

 

“What if I refuse and say I’ll kill you?”

 

“Then that would be unfortunate.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok spoke calmly. Eldyria’s eyes turned red.

 

“Then die.”

 

Swoooosh!

 

Blood surged up and formed a spear, aiming for Kang Jun-hyeok’s neck. Just before the spear could pierce his throat, it stopped abruptly.

 

“…Hmph. Such calm eyes.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was looking at Eldyria without any change in expression. He knew. That it was a simple test.

 

“You don’t seem to be lying. Father was quite an eccentric. It wouldn’t be strange if he raised a human as a hobby.”

 

Eldyria withdrew the spear.

 

“So you’re saying you’re my half-brother?”

 

“Not at all. I was raised as your servant through and through. Half-brother? That’s too generous a title.”

 

“For a human, you’re not brazen enough to claim a relationship with me. You know your place.”

 

Eldyria spoke sarcastically, but she no longer showed the same hostility as before.

 

“Fine. I’ll believe you for now.”

 

[Acting Skill proficiency has increased from F to E.]

 

[Persuasion Skill proficiency has increased from F to E.]

 

Perfect. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly and stood up from his seat.

 

“We probably have much to discuss, but first, there’s something we need to deal with.”

 

“…Filthy beasts have followed us.”

 

Eldyria frowned. Kang Jun-hyeok stepped outside the cave.

 

Crack crack crack.

 

With the sound of the forest splitting, they revealed themselves.

 

There were two opponents in total. Burly men who grinned wickedly upon seeing Eldyria.

 

“Good day, Princess. Have you been well?”

 

“How dare you filthy beasts speak to me. You don’t know your place.”

 

Eldyria spoke coldly. The men wore sly smiles.

 

“We have no choice. The Princess is no longer noble, after all.”

 

“Come with us quietly. We won’t take your life.”

 

“Insignificant fools.”

 

Just as her eyes were about to turn red, Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward.

 

“Please leave this to me, Princess.”

 

“…Hmph. Make sure to clean up these filthy things.”

 

The Princess stepped back.

 

Only then did the men notice Kang Jun-hyeok and frowned.

 

“What? A human?”

 

“You’ve fallen as far as you can fall. Are you really clinging to a mere human?”

 

The men mocked Eldyria. Eldyria closed her eyes without responding. When she showed no reaction, they turned their gaze to Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

“Bewitched by the Princess’s beauty, are you?”

 

“Get lost, human. We’ll spare your life at least.”

 

Instead of answering, Kang Jun-hyeok drew his weapon. The men’s eyes began to turn bloodshot.

 

“Then we’ll kill you!”

 

Crack crack crack.

 

The men’s bodies began to swell. Their bone structure changed as fur sprouted. Sharp fangs began to show.

 

“Graaahhhhh!”

 

Having transformed into beasts, they howled.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered cheerfully.

 

“Where there are vampires, there are bound to be werewolves too.”

 

The men’s true identity was werewolves. The werewolves charged at Kang Jun-hyeok with their howls.

 

Claaang!

 

Claws and weapon collided. A strong impact traveled through the sword. He leaned back to dodge the fangs that thrust forward like lightning.

 

Vicious attacks poured down. An ordinary Player would have been unable to withstand it and would have been torn apart long ago.

 

But that didn’t apply to him. Kang Jun-hyeok put strength into his entire body.

 

Claaang!

 

The werewolves’ bodies were pushed back smoothly. Shock filled the eyes of those who staggered and regained their stance.

 

“H-how can a human overpower werewolves with strength!”

 

“Wh-what are you!”

 

“The Princess’s escort.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly and launched his body forward. He roughly pressed the two werewolves.

 

Scraaape!

 

He deflected their claws and used that force in reverse to thrust. He pierced through the werewolf’s defense and stabbed its heart. He then applied force to his hand and twisted the sword.

 

“Guh, guhhhk!”

 

The werewolf collapsed with a scream. The other werewolf hesitated, then showed its back as if trying to flee.

 

[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok roughly swung his great sword. Sword Qi drew a half-moon and sliced through the forest. The fleeing werewolf was split in half without even being able to scream.

 

‘They are quite strong.’

 

Starting with Eldyria, the level of Floor 10 was considerably high.

 

It was to the extent that Kang Jun-hyeok had to fight seriously.

 

In other words, it meant this was a floor where he could raise his level and Skills.

 

[The proficiency of Sword Energy Wind Blade has increased.]

 

[ The proficiency of your Divine Technique has increased slightly.]

 

He had become incredibly strong. On ordinary floors, he couldn’t gain anything unless it was boss-level, but this place was different. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled with satisfaction.

 

“By the way, only slightly? How damn stingy.”

 

[Did you think you could raise the proficiency of this lord’s martial arts with just that much? How shameless.]

 

Eldyria, who had been watching, spoke up.

 

“You handle a strange power.”

 

“It’s a power that the Princess’s Father specially bestowed upon me.”

 

“…Father was interested in various forms of magic. This must be one of them.”

 

Eldyria nodded to herself in understanding. Kang Jun-hyeok put away his weapon and said.

 

“Then let’s continue our conversation. What exactly happened?”

 

* * *

 

After moving to a suitable location, Eldyria opened her mouth.

 

“How much do you know about the situation?”

 

“I know almost nothing.”

 

It wasn’t a lie. In his previous life, he had merely been dragged around by Eldyria and hadn’t obtained much information. It wasn’t just him—everyone who cleared Floor 10 was the same.

 

‘She had kept her mouth shut about this part in my previous life too.’

 

“All I know is that our kingdom has fallen, and only the Princess survived. That’s everything.”

 

“…The werewolves attacked our kingdom.”

 

Eldyria spoke in a sunken voice.

 

“Those eternal enemies burned down the kingdom and killed all the people.”

 

“But did the werewolves really have enough power to bring down the kingdom? That doesn’t seem right.”

 

“They launched a surprise attack on the night of the lunar eclipse.”

 

“…Ah.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok made an expression of understanding.

 

The night of the lunar eclipse when the moon couldn’t be seen.

 

It was the day when the power of vampires, except for the True Ancestor, was greatly weakened. If that was the case, he could understand.

 

“Father did his best. He killed countless werewolves and perished together with their king. But… our strength was insufficient.”

 

Though they inflicted great damage, it was the vampires who were defeated. She was the only one who survived from the kingdom.

 

“Those filthy beasts are tracking me. Vile creatures.”

 

She ground her teeth. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been listening quietly, asked.

 

“What do you plan to do from now on?”

 

“I am a True Ancestor.”

 

Alone and pure, unaffected by sunlight, salt, or crosses. A perfect being without any weaknesses.

 

“But I’m still young.”

 

She hadn’t undergone her coming-of-age ceremony. She was in a state where she hadn’t fully awakened as a True Ancestor.

 

“They attacked exactly one week before I was to undergo my coming-of-age ceremony. Vile creatures.”

 

“They must have thought they had no chance of winning once the Princess matured.”

 

The werewolves’ judgment was absolutely correct. In fact, in his previous life, she had single-handedly exterminated all the werewolves. She was definitely special.

 

“There is a ritual site for the coming-of-age ceremony. A secret place known only to the True Ancestors. We will head there. At that place, I will perform the ritual and kill my enemies.”

 

That was her purpose, and the destination of the Floor 10 Quest.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok nodded his head.

 

“I understand.”

 

“Will you follow me?”

 

“I am the Princess’s guard and servant. Everything is according to the Princess’s will.”

 

“You speak well.”

 

Eldyria, who had been glaring at Kang Jun-hyeok for a moment, lay down on the ground.

 

“I will rest for a while. Keep watch of the surroundings.”

 

“I will follow your command.”

 

She closed her eyes. Kang Jun-hyeok climbed up a tree and expanded his senses.

 

[Hmm. So she had such a past. She experienced a tragedy that exists everywhere.]

 

“You seem to be enjoying yourself.”

 

[It’s simply satisfying my curiosity. Pixie. That guy will be quite satisfied.]

 

Manbyeonggi muttered cheerfully. Eldyria’s past seemed quite interesting. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes, which had been smiling, slowly darkened.

 

Floor 10 is special.

 

A Player could clear it by doing nothing and simply following Eldyria around.

 

However, the clear rate that could be achieved that way was only 5%.

 

Since the Quest would be forcibly cleared the moment they reached the destination, it was impossible to find anything new. This meant that for a Perfect Clear, something had to be done during the journey to the destination.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok checked the Quest conditions once more.

 

[Floor 10 Progress Quest]

 

[Vampire Princess. Protect and escort Eldyria with your utmost effort to reach the destination.]

 

With your utmost effort, protect and escort her.

 

Beyond being dragged along, it seemed to be saying to actively protect her.

 

But that wouldn’t be all.

 

‘Trust.’

 

As a protector and escort, earn Eldyria’s trust.

 

Build affection and create an intimate relationship. Make her truly able to trust the Player.

 

That was the path to Perfect Clear. Kang Jun-hyeok’s Intuition was telling him so.

 

In the end, building friendship with Eldyria was the priority.

 

‘Is this raising the Princess?’

 

Earn the trust of a difficult Princess.

 

It was a very difficult condition.

 

But for Kang Jun-hyeok, it wasn’t that difficult.

 

He had been acquainted with her in his previous life.

 

Having shared drinks and frequently talked with her, he knew well enough what she liked and what she disliked.

 

‘She definitely had a hobby in fine dining.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok launched his body into the forest.

 

* * *

 

Eldyria said she would rest and closed her eyes.

 

But she didn’t actually sleep. She still didn’t trust Kang Jun-hyeok in the first place.

 

‘…He seems to know about Father’s secret though.’

 

But that alone wasn’t enough to believe him.

 

She had been through too much. She couldn’t trust a human, not even a vampire, with mere words.

 

‘If I had my way, I’d want to make him a slave.’

 

But if she showed hostility, she couldn’t predict how this human would react. He seemed to be following her for now, but ultimately his true intentions were unknowable.

 

‘I can’t trust him, but I can’t shake him off either.’

 

It seemed like an uncomfortable relationship would continue. She sighed inwardly.

 

She heard the sound of Kang Jun-hyeok moving about busily. She tried to ignore it. But soon something began to smell.

 

She frowned and opened her eyes.

 

“…What are you doing.”

 

“I’m cooking.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had caught a deer from somewhere and was making stew. His movements were as natural as a skilled chef. It was a skill. Auto Cooking.

 

“You must have had a hard time, so I thought it would be good for you to have something simple to eat.”

 

“I am a True Ancestor. I have no need for meals.”

 

A True Ancestor didn’t even need to drink blood. In fact, she had never eaten human food even once in her entire life. Kang Jun-hyeok leisurely ladled the stew into a bowl.

 

“Eating a meal isn’t just about consuming nutrients. It helps stabilize your mind and body and allows you to assess situations calmly. I recommend you have a bowl.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok offered her the bowl. Eldyria frowned but accepted the bowl.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was stronger than her. No matter how much he volunteered to be her escort, she couldn’t refuse since she didn’t know what ulterior motives he might have.

 

‘Why is he trying to feed me human food.’

 

She looked at the stew with a disgusted expression and carefully put it in her mouth.

 

And her eyes widened.

 

The sweet and savory taste, the rich aroma of oil. The stew even had the fresh scent of vegetables permeating through it.

 

“Ah…”

 

She unconsciously let out an exclamation. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

 

“Is it to your taste?”

 

“…”

 

Instead of answering, Eldyria lowered her head and picked up her spoon.
