All Master of 100 Floors Episode 072

 

13th Floor. God of Weapons. Haiheimer (3)

 

“…So this is how it feels.”

 

Redirecting the flow of power and using the applied force in reverse.

 

He had understood the concept itself.

 

But it was only an understanding in his head. Rather than reacting physically, it was closer to calculating and moving with his mind.

 

But now, Kang Jun-hyeok had gone beyond understanding that concept to truly comprehending it.

 

“This is your martial arts.”

 

[That’s right. You still can’t handle even the first sword form, but you’ve understood the basic profound principle. I’ll praise you for that.]

 

Manbyeonggi spoke calmly. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a hollow laugh.

 

Manbyeonggi’s Divine Art. Of course he had thought it would be strong. Since it placed all martial arts beneath its feet, it was natural that it would have an exalted level.

 

But now he felt it clearly.

 

The level was different.

 

Purely.

 

Just by comprehending the profound principle, he had overcome the sword technique of one who rivaled Alessandro.

 

And most importantly.

 

‘The proficiency didn’t budge at all.’

 

Despite gaining such enlightenment, the proficiency didn’t rise a single level, let alone increase dramatically. It meant its depth and breadth were immeasurable. It was laughable to compare it to the Taiji Wisdom Sword of the Wudang Sect that he had learned.

 

“Good.”

 

But regardless of all that, the power he obtained and wielded. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

 

Since no more enemies appeared no matter how long he waited, Kang Jun-hyeok sheathed his sword.

 

“Is it over now?”

 

[It seems that was the final test. You were reasonably useful.]

 

“It was difficult.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok cast his eyes toward the sky. The last knight had truly been strong.

 

Without that enlightenment, he might have died.

 

[Haiheimer is quite a benevolent god. He tries to help Players mercifully. As such, trials are generally not difficult. But it seems different for you.]

 

Rather than a light trial, he had given a real trial that required risking one’s life to clear.

 

[It means he saw that much possibility in you. If you died, he thought that would be your limit.]

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok had cleared it. He could feel satisfaction in the gaze looking down from the sky.

 

[Haiheimer offers you an apostle contract.]

 

[Will you accept?]

 

“No.”

 

[You have refused the apostle contract.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok refused the proposal. Haiheimer didn’t make another offer, as if he had expected this. Soon, with a rumbling sound, the world began to collapse.

 

Just before returning to Earth, a deep male voice rang out toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[I look forward to what comes next.]

 

At the same time, the floor was cleared.

 

[Level Up.]

 

[Level Up.]

 

[Health + 50]

 

[Strength + 2]

 

[Speed + 2]

 

[Internal Energy + 2]

 

[13th Floor Quest Clear.]

 

[Compensation will be determined based on your performance.]

 

[Checking achievement rate…]

 

[Check complete.]

 

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

 

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional compensation will be awarded.]

 

[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]

 

[5,714 Gold has been awarded.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [Weapon: Spear Blessed by Haiheimer] has been obtained.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [Weapon: Infinite Spear Blessed with Haiheimer’s Special Grace] has been obtained.]

 

[Players who Perfect Cleared the 13th Floor: 1 person.]

 

[You are alone!]

 

[Universe Announcement.]

 

[Please congratulate them! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 13th Floor has appeared. This is an achievement no one has accomplished until now!]

 

[Achievement + 8]

 

“Whew.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had returned to Earth, caught his breath. After taking a brief rest, he slowly began checking his rewards.

 

This time there were no regular rewards. They seemed to have been integrated into the Perfect Clear rewards. In such cases, the Perfect Clear rewards were often exceptionally outstanding.

 

He checked the rewards with anticipation.

 

[Spear Blessed by Haiheimer]

 

[Type: Weapon]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Attack Power + 40]

 

[A spear blessed by Haiheimer, the God of Weapons. A spear specially bestowed upon outstanding believers who serve him.]

 

The attack power was 40. It easily surpassed the White Light Sword’s attack power of 35.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.

 

“I didn’t have any decent spear weapons anyway.”

 

With Manbyeonggi, he needed to possess as many diverse high-value weapons as possible. This weapon perfectly filled that gap.

 

And the next reward was also a spear.

 

This was probably the real deal. Kang Jun-hyeok picked up the spear.

 

[Infinite Spear Shaft Blessed with Haiheimer’s Special Grace]

 

[Part: Weapon]

 

[Grade: Unique]

 

[A spear shaft blessed with special grace by Haiheimer, the God of Weapons, for one single person. Contains the god’s powerful force, allowing storage of up to three spears with permanent usage.]

 

[Equipment Ability: This spear shaft stores a spear with attack power equivalent to 50% of Strength every hour. Can be stored up to three times maximum.]

 

“…Wait a minute.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok frowned while reading the description. For a moment, he wondered if he had misread and checked again.

 

But no matter how many times he checked, he hadn’t seen it wrong. Kang Jun-hyeok let out an exclamation.

 

“Wow.”

 

This was a spear that could be used permanently.

 

Normally, this wouldn’t mean much. After all, you could only handle one weapon at a time.

 

But for Kang Jun-hyeok, who had the Spear Throwing skill, the story was different.

 

[Active Skill: Spear Throwing]

 

[Grade: Lowest]

 

[Proficiency: D]

 

[Cooldown: None]

 

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

 

With the Spear Throwing skill’s proficiency at D, he could throw spears directly from his inventory. It was a special skill among the lowest grade that could be used very effectively in combat.

 

The problem was the consumption of spears.

 

Even the cheapest spear cost 100 gold, so consuming them every time was quite burdensome. Moreover, with its low attack power, it would be hard to have significant meaning as he climbed higher floors.

 

But with this spear shaft, the story changed.

 

It meant he could activate Spear Throwing up to three times without any consumption.

 

The attack power was even half of his Strength. Kang Jun-hyeok’s current Strength was 55, so it was 27 attack power. It wasn’t low at all, and being half meant it could continue to be useful going forward.

 

It was equipment worthy of the Unique grade. It made him suddenly feel respect for Haiheimer.

 

The Perfect Player title’s effect was Attack Power + 1.

 

After finishing his check, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie.

 

[You called?]

 

“Right.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok immediately extended his hand. Pixie grinned and grasped it. The memories of the 13th Floor began flowing into her.

 

[Mmm. Mmmmm.]

 

With nasal moans, she slowly released his hand. Her eyes gleamed strangely.

 

[Haiheimer. That half-heartedly merciful bastard gave you such a trial? That’s unexpected.]

 

“Thanks to that, I had quite a hard time. But half-heartedly merciful god, huh.”

 

[Isn’t that right? He only gives trials that can be cleared without risking your life. With that level of reward, you can’t change anything. You just climb the Tower a little higher and then die.]

 

Pixie grumbled. It seemed she had quite a few complaints about Haiheimer.

 

[But still… this time he changed his thinking? He gave you a real trial. I’ve known Haiheimer for a long time, but this is the first case like this.]

 

Pixie grinned.

 

[Yes. That’s how it should be. That’s what makes it interesting. And… Manbyeonggi. You’ve gained some understanding of that guy’s techniques?]

 

Pixie asked with a subtle look in her eyes.

 

[How is it?]

 

“Vast.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok answered.

 

“And deep. So deep I can’t see into it.”

 

[That would be the case. That guy is arrogant, but he has the power to back it up. He never once passed his martial arts to others, and was planning to quietly disappear from the Tower alone with them. Honestly, I thought it was regrettable. That guy’s techniques were at a level I’d never seen before.]

 

[It’s none of your business.]

 

Manbyeonggi replied indifferently. Pixie giggled.

 

[I wonder how you’ll reach that level. I’m curious. Here, take this.]

 

[200 Starlight.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.

 

“Only this much again this time?”

 

It was woefully insufficient to buy what he wanted. Pixie put a cigar in her mouth.

 

[My starlight is special. Your enlightenment and Haiheimer’s unusual behavior were interesting, but… not enough to receive a lot of starlight.]

 

Pixie tapped her cigar.

 

[I’m a fairy. An explorer of the world. How much of this world do you think I’ve seen?]

 

Pixie’s eyes sparkled like starlight.

 

The treasures and riches she possessed were special. Things even Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t easily see.

 

She had literally explored and collected everything in the entire universe.

 

Satisfying her curiosity was not easy.

 

[If you want more starlight, try clearing special floors that will satisfy my curiosity.]

 

“I guess that’s the only way after all.”

 

This made the next floor important. Kang Jun-hyeok nodded.

 

“Alright. Then I’ll buy an Intermediate Active Skill.”

 

[You already collected 15,000 Gold? That’s fast… Here you go.]

 

[You have obtained an Intermediate Active Skill Box.]

 

[You have acquired Active Skill: Repulsion.]

 

[Active Skill: Repulsion]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 60 minutes]

 

[Releases waves proportional to attack power toward the surroundings.]

 

“Repulsion, huh.”

 

A skill that releases waves in all directions from the body to push away enemies. He had used it frequently and found it useful in his previous life. It was a practical skill that ranked among the top intermediate skills.

 

“Well then, take care.”

 

[Yeah. Next is Floor 14, right? This should be quite interesting.]

 

Pixie left with those cryptic words.

 

After that, Kang Jun-hyeok headed to the training ground. It was to organize his understanding of the divine technique he had obtained.

 

Standing on the training ground, he lightly regulated his breathing and moved his internal energy.

 

The force moving his arms. The force putting strength in his legs to stand. Even the force of breathing. He moved and gathered the flow of all these forces. Then he clenched his fist and struck out.

 

Kuuuung!

 

Wind burst forth. The training ground shook greatly and the lights flickered.

 

“Whew.”

 

He regulated his breathing.

 

His physical strength itself had barely been used in that attack just now.

 

It was purely moving the flow of all forces and bursting them out through his fist.

 

Yet it produced power that rivaled his full strength.

 

More importantly, he could control not just the flow but even the opponent’s force.

 

It was practically an all-purpose martial art.

 

However, the problem was indeed the difficulty.

 

“This is tough.”

 

When facing the Knight, he could handle it freely through momentary enlightenment, but now only fragments of that remained.

 

He struggled considerably just to move the flow of force using internal energy. It was to a degree where he couldn’t use it in actual combat.

 

[The System only helps you take the first step. The rest you must train and cultivate yourself.]

 

“I know.”

 

That’s why he came to this place. With 3 days left until entering the next floor, he planned to continue training until then.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok regulated his breathing and moved his internal energy.

 

After continuing to train without even sleeping, he became able to handle it more freely than at first. Three days passed like that, and it was time to enter the Tower.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok immediately entered Floor 14.

 

He arrived at a small island. An island made of sand with just a few palm trees standing alone.

 

And before him spread a vast sea.

 

A great ocean where only the horizon was visible no matter which direction he looked 360 degrees. It felt liberating enough. Soon a Quest window appeared.

 

[Floor 14 Quest.]

 

[Quell the chaos of the Great Ocean.]
