All Master of 100 Floors Episode 065

 

11th Floor. True Ancestor (2)

 

Kashan, who had entered the altar, muttered cheerfully.

 

“To think I can enter even by force. Even if only half, a True Ancestor is still a True Ancestor. Werewolves. Those beasts couldn’t enter no matter how hard they tried.”

 

“…Uncle!”

 

Eldyria couldn’t hold back and screamed. Her eyes were filled with all kinds of denial.

 

“Why on earth!”

 

It was certain. Her uncle had betrayed the clan. He had cooperated with the werewolves to destroy their race.

 

“Why did you do such a thing!”

 

“That’s not something you need to know.”

 

Kashan cleanly dismissed the cry mixed with anger and resentment.

 

“What you need to know is that I betrayed you all and tried to kill you. That’s all.”

 

“…”

 

Eldyria’s body swayed as if about to collapse. Kang Jun-hyeok grabbed her shoulder.

 

“Pull yourself together. Princess. Remember why you came here.”

 

“…To perform the coming-of-age ceremony, to avenge our race…”

 

“Nothing about your purpose has changed.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok raised his finger and pointed toward the inside of the altar.

 

“Go. Princess. Perform the ceremony and achieve your purpose. I’ll stop that bastard.”

 

“…Uncle is strong. Even you can’t win against him. You’ll die. I’d rather…”

 

“Princess.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok calmly kissed the hand that was gripping her shoulder.

 

“What are you worrying about? You are destined to become a queen. You will become a solitary, noble, and complete existence, walking through this world.”

 

“…”

 

“Go. Princess. To fulfill your will.”

 

Eldyria bit her lips and stood up.

 

“Don’t die. If you die, I’ll turn you into a vampire.”

 

“That’s scary.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled. Eldyria went inside. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been watching her, stood up.

 

“I didn’t expect you to just quietly watch.”

 

“I should at least watch my cute niece’s final struggle.”

 

Kashan spoke nonchalantly. His tone suggested that killing Kang Jun-hyeok wouldn’t be a problem at all.

 

It wasn’t arrogance. Kashan possessed power befitting such confidence. He looked at Kang Jun-hyeok with interest.

 

“You handle quite a peculiar power. How about coming under me instead of meeting a futile death here?”

 

“I can’t trust someone who betrayed their own kinfolk.”

 

“Kinfolk?”

 

Kashan chuckled as if those words were amusing. Soon, anger settled on his face.

 

“Those who despised me and called me a mongrel for being half-human, who locked me up and raised me like a prisoner—you call them kinfolk? Those who looked down on me, mocked me, and didn’t treat me as a fellow vampire—you call them kinfolk? Don’t make me laugh! They are not my kinfolk! They’re maggots rotting in their own arrogance! How dare they…”

 

“Shut up.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok cut him off with an annoyed tone.

 

“I don’t care about your reasons for betraying them.”

 

Kashan’s long-winded sob story was of no help whatsoever in clearing this floor.

 

“Shut up and attack.”

 

“…I’ll kill you!”

 

Blood surged up violently, forming thorns that flew toward him. Kang Jun-hyeok drew his weapon and took his stance.

 

Clang clang clang!

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body, having blocked the thorns, couldn’t withstand the force and was pushed back. Kashan moved his fingers roughly. The thorns split apart, becoming fragments that aimed for his entire body.

 

Crack!

 

He barely managed to twist his body and dodge. Kashan stomped his foot. Blood burst through the ground, collapsing the floor. He tried to turn the off-balance Kang Jun-hyeok into a skewer.

 

[Balance.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s collapsed body regained its posture and struck down the Blood Thorns.

 

But he couldn’t defend against everything. Some of them pierced through his body and slammed him into the wall. Kashan, who had been quietly watching this scene, frowned.

 

“Even after all that, not a single wound. How utterly bizarre.”

 

Clang!

 

Kang Jun-hyeok broke the thorns embedded in his body and charged forward.

 

[Judgment of Law.]

 

Kashan’s body suddenly staggered. He was shocked to realize his movements had slowed down.

 

“Interference-type magic?”

 

[Air Jump.]

 

He kicked off the air to dodge the incoming attack. He approached Kashan and thrust his sword. Kashan moved his blood to easily defend.

 

[Thrust.]

 

The thrust was blocked, but the skill’s effect allowed him to thrust once more with greater force.

 

But even then, he couldn’t break through the defense. Kashan flicked his finger as if annoyed.

 

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

 

Blood rose chaotically, trying to grab hold of his body.

 

[Stealth.]

 

His body disappeared. Kashan’s eyes widened. He completely lost track of Kang Jun-hyeok’s presence. Kang Jun-hyeok tried to drive his sword into the back of his neck.

 

At that moment, droplets of blood rose densely around Kashan’s body.

 

Soon they all burst outward simultaneously, creating an intense explosion.

 

Stealth was ultimately just hiding one’s body. It was vulnerable to omnidirectional attacks. Kang Jun-hyeok hastily swung his sword.

 

[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

 

Sword Qi rose and collided with the blood explosion. Kang Jun-hyeok’s body flew away as if bounced off. Having barely regained his posture, Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh.

 

“Damn strong.”

 

A formidable enemy that even his current self would struggle against. Even though there must have been considerable power loss from forcibly opening the Altar Door, he was still this strong.

 

‘How on earth did Eldyria win in my previous life?’

 

“…You truly wield strange powers.”

 

Kashan was quite surprised.

 

The power that Kang Jun-hyeok was currently wielding was something unknown that he himself didn’t understand.

 

“But it’s not enough to defeat me.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t deny it.

 

Active Skills were certainly powerful.

 

What the Master of the Universe had bestowed was beyond ordinary concepts.

 

But that alone wasn’t enough to achieve victory against all enemies.

 

Active Skills were more like jokers at best. Special and alien, but that was their limit. When an opponent’s weight class exceeded a certain level, their significance diminished.

 

At most, he could exploit openings and inflict wounds, but he couldn’t achieve victory.

 

In his previous life, even the one who had purchased all the Lowest Grade Active Skills ultimately met death for that very reason.

 

Then what was needed against opponents like Kashan who were purely strong, with near-omnipotent adaptability?

 

The answer was simple.

 

Not jokers, but what he had built up.

 

What he had steadily accumulated and built up in the process of climbing the Tower, something closer to substantial foundation.

 

Stats.

 

Equipment.

 

And Passive Skills.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok gripped his sword tightly and charged forward. Kashan lightly flicked his fingers. Blood rose in streams, targeting Kang Jun-hyeok’s body.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled.

 

Deep and fast. Quiet yet intense.

 

The Internal Energy dwelling in his dantian circulated through his body.

 

Claaang!

 

The blood that collided with his sword shattered into pieces. Kashan was shocked.

 

“…Aura!”

 

What now dwelt in Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was definitely Aura.

 

‘Wasn’t he a mage!’

 

Seeing the strange power he wielded, he had thought he was a physically-oriented mage. But to suddenly manifest Aura.

 

‘How does such a bastard even exist.’

 

Kashan couldn’t contain his shock.

 

But that was the limit. It was impossible to reach mastery in both. He thought it would be futile against overwhelming odds anyway. Blood rose in streams, forming lines as it flew toward him.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled and put strength into his sword-gripping hand.

 

Claaang!

 

A fierce, beast-like Sword Technique unfolded. It collided with the blood and used that force in reverse to contain even greater power. Like dominoes, that power grew larger and larger, breaking through the blood lines.

 

In an instant, his body drew close to Kashan.

 

Kashan was horrified and raised blood droplets, exploding them like bombs. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t block or dodge. Instead, he lowered his stance and used that recoil.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

The sword filled with intense power collided with Kashan’s defense.

 

And for the first time, Kashan’s defense shattered. Kang Jun-hyeok instantly closed in.

 

“This!”

 

Kashan hastily created a Blood Sword.

 

Claang!

 

Sword clashes against sword.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok doesn’t stop. He uses the recoil from blocking to rotate his body. He thrusts his sword with repulsive force, acceleration, and rotational power combined.

 

Kaaaaaang!

 

Kashan’s body staggers, unable to withstand the force. He barely manages to block the consecutive attacks that follow.

 

‘What!’

 

Kashan was old. He had traveled the world and accumulated much experience, so he could understand what Kang Jun-hyeok was displaying right now.

 

That was a sword technique.

 

But he had never heard of such a sword technique before. To continuously connect the flow of power and gradually amplify it. He couldn’t even understand what concept this was.

 

That was natural.

 

The sword technique Kang Jun-hyeok was displaying now was not ordinary.

 

It was the divine technique of one who was confident that all martial arts in this world were beneath him.

 

It was certainly the technique of one of the strongest beings in the universe.

 

Even though he was so inexperienced and clumsy that he couldn’t properly handle even one sword form, its value didn’t diminish. Manbyeonggi muttered cheerfully.

 

[This looks good.]

 

He had dragged his opponent into the same domain. And in this situation, the joker card became meaningful.

 

[Crack Movement.]

 

He moves through the gap to appear behind Kashan. Kashan hastily defends, but he twists his waist to put even more force into his attack.

 

[Impact.]

 

The moment it clashes with the Blood Sword, a strong impact is transmitted through Kashan’s weapon. Kashan momentarily loses his grip on his weapon.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Kashan barely managed to twist his body, but a long cut appeared on his chest.

 

At that moment, Kashan was shocked once again.

 

‘…The damage!’

 

He was a vampire.

 

Though half human, he was half vampire. Simple attacks wouldn’t kill him even if his heart was pierced or his head was blown off.

 

But that recent attack had only created a cut, yet a chunk of his life force was carved away. It was the power of attack and strength stats.

 

Moreover, no matter how much he attacked, no wounds appeared on Kang Jun-hyeok’s body. Though his stamina was steadily being consumed, from Kashan’s perspective who didn’t know this, it could only be bewildering.

 

“Eek!”

 

Blood rises violently, collapsing and destroying the area.

 

[Block.]

 

Kagagagak!

 

He blocks what can be blocked, and doesn’t block what can’t be blocked. With a sword in one hand and a great sword in the other, he strikes like a beast. Cuts begin to appear one by one on Kashan’s body.

 

Kashan gritted his teeth hard. His eyes turned red.

 

A drop of blood rises.

 

Blood that wasn’t bright red like fresh blood, but close to black.

 

The vampire’s royal blood.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widen, knowing what it is, and he hastily protects his body. The royal blood explodes.

 

Kuuuuuung!

 

The altar shakes greatly. The incredibly intense explosion blows away the passage and spreads outside.

 

“Huff. Huff.”

 

Kashan clutched his heart.

 

The pure and noble blood possessed only by the True Ancestor. True blood.

 

It was truly powerful.

 

But the burden was equally great. Moreover, since he was half human, he had to consume considerable life force to handle true blood.

 

But this was the end. No matter how strong and strange that human was, he couldn’t withstand the power of true blood.

 

It was when he staggered and tried to enter the altar.

 

[Grace of Compassion.]

 

Breaking through the explosion, Kang Jun-hyeok appeared.

 

Shock filled Kashan’s eyes. He tried to respond but his movements were slow. A sword pierced deep into his heart.
