All Master of 100 Floors Episode 069
12th Floor. Robot (1)
[Title: …Are there robots in the Tower too?]
[No way. Up until now it’s been all fantasy and martial arts stuff, so I thought it was only that kind of thing. Suddenly robots? And bipedal ones at that??]
[Maruima Atsuya (18th Floor): Looks like you cleared the 12th Floor. It is a rather unexpected floor. Still, walking bipedal movement and beam rifles. There’s romance in it.]
* * *
The robot’s build was incredibly massive. He was only about the size of one of its feet at most.
The humanoid robot had quite an elegant appearance. Kang Jun-hyeok muttered.
“No matter how I look at it, it looks similar to robots that appear in anime.”
Whirrrr.
The robot’s eyes glow red as it glares at Kang Jun-hyeok. Its arm moves. The rifle in its hand aims toward Kang Jun-hyeok.
Kiiing!
A red beam flies from the rifle, tracing an arc through the air. Kang Jun-hyeok protects his body with his sword.
Kaaaang!
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body is pushed back one step after defending against the beam. The robot extends its other hand toward its waist. It grabs a rod from there.
Whiiiiing.
Red light emanates from the rod, forming the shape of a sword. Thrusters activate on the robot’s back, making its massive body fly through the sky.
Kagagagak!
The light saber clashes with Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword. Kang Jun-hyeok deflects the sword and lets it flow away.
As he kicks off to create distance, it aims the rifle.
Kiiiing!
He swings his sword to deflect the incoming beams while muttering.
“Looking at it again, it really is out of nowhere.”
Up until now, only fantasy or martial arts style quests had been progressing, but suddenly the atmosphere became sci-fi.
It was quite unexpected, but that was also one of the Tower’s characteristics. There would be quite a few sci-fi themed floors among the ones he’d climb in the future.
The robot is considerably strong.
For ordinary players, these would be attacks they’d be desperate just to avoid. Being large and robotic, its body was protected by alloy.
For average players, there was no chance of victory whatsoever.
Naturally, facing the robot head-on wasn’t the typical clearing method.
This place is one massive facility.
Throughout the facility, devices that control the robot were scattered about. You had to activate all of them to stop the robot, then enter the Central Control Tower to clear it.
But that wasn’t Kang Jun-hyeok’s clearing method.
To find the devices that control the robot, you had to move around the facility, and naturally the robot would chase and attack you. In that process, various parts of the facility would inevitably get damaged.
On the 12th Floor, how intact the facility remained affected the clear rate. For a Perfect Clear, he had to subdue it right here.
He had the power to do so. And that wasn’t all.
Kang Jun-hyeok quietly assessed the robot’s strength.
Not weak.
But it wasn’t that strong either. With his current abilities, it was an opponent he could defeat without much trouble.
“This should be enough.”
His purpose on the 12th Floor wasn’t simply to clear it.
It was to confirm the power he had obtained.
Kang Jun-hyeok sheathed his sword. Looking at the flying robot, he activated his skill.
[Royal Blood.]
* * *
Blood rises.
Black and thick, pure and noble blood.
The True Blood that had been dwelling within him circulates through his blood vessels and settles into his flesh.
Vampire Queen. The True Blood that Eldyria had given him. That power now dwells within Kang Jun-hyeok’s body.
He has now become a True Ancestor.
“Huu.”
Wooooong!
The flying robot steps down to crush him.
Considering the robot’s size, its weight would exceed dozens of tons. With the added acceleration, blocking it head-on was impossible even for him. Dodging was the correct answer.
But he doesn’t dodge.
He circulates the blood within his body. He channels that power into his arm. He clenches his fist tightly and swings.
Kwaaaaang!
A fierce impact shakes the Facility. Kang Jun-hyeok’s body flies back as if bounced away, but he doesn’t fall. He quickly regains his stance and looks at the robot.
Kuuuuung…
The robot’s body was swaying and stepping back.
It meant it had been affected by the collision of power with him. Kang Jun-hyeok raised the corner of his mouth.
“So this is the extent of it.”
One of the True Ancestor’s abilities.
He could concentrate blood to strengthen his body. To make that giant robot stagger. It was considerable enhancement. Kang Jun-hyeok, who was about to get up while dusting off his hands, suddenly staggered.
“Mm.”
A short groan escaped. Dizziness suddenly rushed over him. He quietly closed his eyes and circulated his blood to drive away the dizziness.
“It’s not easy to use.”
He could concentrate all the blood in his body to one place for enhancement, but severe anemia followed. It was enough to temporarily render him unable to fight.
But it was that powerful. He could use it as a trump card.
And the next ability. Control over blood.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes turned red. Blood began to bubble up. The robot that had taken its stance raised its rifle.
Kiiing!
A beam flies toward him.
Instead of drawing his sword, Kang Jun-hyeok moved his blood. A thin curtain spread out to protect his body.
Kwaaaaang!
The blood curtain and beam collide.
The barrier was broken and shattered, but it succeeded in protecting Kang Jun-hyeok’s body. He moved the blood again, shooting it out in the form of thorns.
Kwajijijik!
The Blood Thorns collided with the robot. The alloy that moved its body was dented and damaged.
“The power of blood is proportional to attack and defense power.”
It didn’t seem to be affected by strength or speed stats. As such, its level itself was relatively lower than general attacks or defense.
But it was free. He could freely change the form of blood and use it not only for defense or attack, but also for other auxiliary purposes. It was a great advantage.
“The problem is the consumption of stamina.”
Since he was drawing out and manipulating blood, stamina itself was consumed. However, the stamina consumed wasn’t that much. Unless used extremely, it was manageable.
That was the second ability.
Next was the ability to transform his body into mist and move. Seeing the incoming light saber, Kang Jun-hyeok tried to transform his body into mist.
“Hmm.”
But nothing happened.
Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue and drew his sword.
Kuuuung!
He blocked the light saber and launched his body.
He couldn’t transform into mist. Considering that any True Ancestor could use it, it was strange.
He had a rough idea about the reason.
[Also becomes an incomplete True Ancestor for 10 minutes.]
It was the description of the Royal Blood skill.
Incomplete True Ancestor. Because of that, he couldn’t use the mist transformation ability.
It wasn’t strange. He wasn’t a vampire in the true sense right now. It was closer to temporarily becoming a vampire through a skill.
It seemed to be a penalty created by that. It was disappointing, but it couldn’t be helped. True Ancestors were certainly powerful, but keeping his race fixed as human would be more advantageous later.
He had finished checking everything. All that remained was subduing the robot. He drew his sword. His eyes turned red and the bloodstreams of fresh blood began to move.
Kwaaaaang!
His body charged forward in a rush. He defended against the incoming beam with a blood barrier and swung his sword with internal power. The robot’s body made of alloy made a crashing sound as it shattered.
[Instant Acceleration.]
[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]
He accelerated his body and sent sword qi toward the robot’s chest. With a roar, the robot’s chest shattered, revealing countless circuits inside.
Kang Jun-hyeok moved the blood. Bloodstreams in the form of thin lines entered through the shattered gap, destroying the circuits and damaging the connected wires.
Kkeegik. Kkeegigeegeek!
The robot’s body that was trying to attack Kang Jun-hyeok stopped with creaking sounds. No matter how powerful and sturdy a robot was, its internal circuits were bound to be vulnerable.
Kang Jun-hyeok clenched his fist. The circuits broke with a crackling sound.
Kuuuung!
The robot collapsed. The light in its eyes flickered and then went out.
[Royal Blood proficiency has increased.]
[Instant Acceleration proficiency has increased.]
[Sword Energy Wind Blade proficiency has…]
Originally, it wouldn’t have been this easy.
The robot wouldn’t stop moving just because its gauntlet was somewhat damaged. He would have had to engage in a war of attrition until all its energy was depleted.
But with the True Ancestor’s ability to move freely, even in the form of thin threads, it became very simple.
With the True Ancestor’s ability, it was possible to handle things this way. Kang Jun-hyeok dusted off his hands with satisfaction.
And not long after, the effect of Royal Blood ended. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a groan.
“Ugh.”
Strength drained from his entire body. It was difficult even to stand. The effect of Royal Blood had ended and he was afflicted with the exhaustion status ailment.
‘I’ve experienced this several times in my previous life, but it’s damn tough.’
The exhaustion status ailment was quite powerful. It temporarily made all actions impossible.
On top of that, his health became 1. In essence, it meant that if he activated Royal Blood and couldn’t finish the fight, he would die. He had to activate it only when he could definitely finish off his opponent.
That part wasn’t a problem. He just needed to make perfect judgments.
After about 10 minutes, his condition recovered. Kang Jun-hyeok got up and entered the Central Control Tower.
And a Quest completion window appeared.
[12th Floor Quest Clear.]
[Compensation will be determined based on your performance.]
[Checking achievement rate…]
[Check complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be granted.]
[Helmet: You have acquired the Mechanical Helmet that was being manufactured.]
[Title: The effect of Perfect Player has been added.]
[3,121 Gold has been granted.]
[Perfect Clear reward [Weapon: Laser Rifle] has been acquired.]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 12th Floor: 1 person.]
[You are alone!]
[Universe Announcement.]
[Please congratulate them! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 12th Floor has appeared. This is an achievement that no one has accomplished until now!]
[Great Achievement + 2]
Kang Jun-hyeok returned to Earth. But he didn’t check his rewards right away. There was something else he needed to check first.
He opened his mouth.
“Pixie.”
[Oh… you’re back already? That was fast.]
Pixie appeared with a surprised expression.
[If it’s the 12th Floor Quest I remember, it should take quite a bit of time. What method did you use?]
“Check it out yourself.”
[That sounds good.]
Pixie grinned and extended her hand. Kang Jun-hyeok took her hand. The memories of clearing the 12th Floor began to transfer to Pixie.
