All Master of 100 Floors Episode 090

 

Second Test (5)

 

Kang Jun-hyeok rushes forward like lightning and thrusts his spear. A sharp sound of cutting through air rings out. Like lightning, he aims for the Knight’s armor. The Knight raises his great sword to defend.

 

Clang!

 

The Knight twists his great sword to defend while striking down with his elbow.

 

[Repulsion.]

 

Kiiing!

 

A powerful repulsive force erupts centered on Kang Jun-hyeok. The Knight’s body is momentarily pushed back, but he exerts strength to endure it.

 

[Stealth.]

 

And at that moment, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body disappears.

 

The Knight hesitates for an instant.

 

But his confusion is brief. He instantly grasps the situation, steps forward, and lowers his stance. He grips his great sword tightly and swings it fiercely.

 

Kuuuuung!

 

The great sword cuts fiercely through 360 degrees.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok wasn’t there. His body was floating in the air.

 

[Charge.]

 

His airborne body charges powerfully toward the Knight’s body. With a fierce collision sound, the Knight’s body is pushed back one step. The weapon in Kang Jun-hyeok’s hand had already changed from a spear to a great sword.

 

[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

 

Swoooosh!

 

Intense sword qi becomes a wind blade and flies toward the Knight. The Knight quickly corrects his stance and swings his great sword. With a strange movement, the sword qi is deflected.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok succeeded in approaching by targeting that gap. He presses his body against the Knight’s armor.

 

[Impact.]

 

Armor may be solid and able to block all kinds of attacks, but it was weak against impact. The armor shakes greatly and the Knight staggers.

 

[Spear Throwing.]

 

At that moment, Spear Throwing activates consecutively.

 

Three spears are thrown in all directions.

 

Kuuung!

 

The Knight stamps his foot.

 

He moves his great sword to deflect two of the flying spears. He tilts his neck back to dodge one more and twists his body. The remaining two spears hit but graze off the armor’s curves, dealing no significant damage.

 

He perfectly countered the three spears shot simultaneously.

 

Truly a technique like a miracle.

 

Movement that couldn’t be considered human,

 

far superior to the current Kang Jun-hyeok. If fighting with pure physicality alone, he had no chance of victory.

 

Still, it didn’t matter. What he possessed wasn’t just his body.

 

He had the miracle that the Tower had bestowed upon them.

 

Buuuung!

 

The Knight who had perfectly countered brings down his great sword. Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off the ground.

 

[Crack Movement.]

 

That body moves behind the knight’s back.

 

[Thrust.]

 

The spear aims for the knight’s nape. The knight responds even to that. He quickly twists his body and raises his wrist to defend. The wrist guard part cracks but doesn’t get pierced through.

 

The knight succeeded in defending.

 

But Thrust was activated twice.

 

Kwajijik.

 

It pierces through the armor and embeds into his arm. Kang Jun-hyeok activated Instant Acceleration as well and applied force. The spear that pierced the arm thrust deeper and stabbed the chest. The knight who was pushed back staggers and tries to grab the spear.

 

[Earth Shake.]

 

At that moment the ground shakes. The knight’s posture crumbles and he loses grip of the spear. Kang Jun-hyeok puts strength into the hand gripping the spear and holds the great sword with his other hand.

 

Jjeoeoeong!

 

He strikes the spear tip fiercely.

 

The spear pierces through the knight’s back and protrudes out.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok then twisted the hand gripping the spear. The knight convulsed and twisted his body, then went limp.

 

And soon, a system window appeared announcing his victory.

 

[Ten Thousand Weapons Control proficiency has increased.]

 

[ Divine Technique proficiency has increased.]

 

[ Mental Cultivation Method proficiency has increased.]

 

[Sword Technique proficiency has increased from D to C.]

 

[Greatsword Mastery proficiency has increased from D to C.]

 

“Whew.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok retrieves the spear. Originally it could have endured a bit more. Monsters wouldn’t die even if their heart was stabbed unless their stamina was depleted.

 

But currently his attack power reached close to 40, and his strength stat exceeded 60. No matter how strong a knight was, it couldn’t endure.

 

“Oh, ohhh!”

 

“He won! He won!”

 

“Amazing!”

 

The people who had been watching with bated breath burst into exclamations. Kang Jun-hyeok glances back and lets out a quiet laugh.

 

‘Were they all watching?’

 

He feels gazes of admiration and awe directed at him. Without paying attention, he looks at Yu Jin-ha.

 

“Eek! Eeeek!”

 

Yu Jin-ha was facing the knight while letting out battle cries close to screams. The rapier thrusts forward with a sound cutting through air. Yu Jin-ha deflects the sword by twisting it and approaches.

 

Kwajijik.

 

And finally, the sword pierces through the knight’s chest.

 

Yu Jin-ha quickly moves his sword and slaughters the knight. The knight falls, and Yu Jin-ha also collapses with a thud.

 

“It’s over.”

 

“Ohhhhh!”

 

“We won!”

 

“We are victorious!”

 

They succeeded in defending all the towers. People burst into cheers.

 

* * *

 

[100%]

 

The gauge reached 100%.

 

They had won. Soon the space in the sky split apart and the Administrator appeared.

 

“Wow. What? You defended them all?”

 

The Administrator who appeared widened her eyes in surprise.

 

Though the number of casualties wasn’t small, all four towers were intact. Her foresight that one or two would be destroyed had once again proven wrong.

 

The Administrator instantly appeared in front of Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

“Wow. You won too? To be honest, I thought it was fifty-fifty.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“The probability of you dying versus the probability of you winning.”

 

The Administrator’s eyes sparkled brightly.

 

“I’m certain now. You’re unreadable!”

 

Her eyes held deep interest and joy. It was like the face of a child playing with dolls who had discovered a living, breathing doll.

 

“Wow! I’ve discovered a gem! I thought this was an utterly boring planet. I’ll have to brag to the other Administrators! Please take care of me from now on!”

 

She smiled and patted Kang Jun-hyeok’s back. The Players stared blankly at this scene. After enjoying herself for a while, she floated up into the air.

 

“Now then! You have achieved victory!”

 

[Second Test Cleared.]

 

“…Wo, wooooooh!”

 

“We did it!”

 

People hugged each other and shouted. The Administrator continued speaking.

 

“You’ll be given three days of rest time from now on. Rewards will be distributed after that based on performance! For now, rest!”

 

With those words, the Administrator disappeared. People burst into celebratory cheers. Those cheers gradually subsided, and soon all their gazes focused on one place.

 

Their gazes were all directed at Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

* * *

 

The towering wall of the plains.

 

Sitting atop it, Kang Jun-hyeok quietly looked at his skill window.

 

[Passive Skill: Greatsword Mastery]

 

[Grade: Lowest]

 

[Proficiency: C]

 

[The technique of wielding a greatsword. Something that even a talented person must strive a lifetime to reach.]

 

[Passive Skill: Sword Technique]

 

[Grade: Lowest]

 

[Proficiency: C]

 

[The art of handling a sword. A level that even a talented person can only reach after a lifetime of effort.]

 

‘Already C rank.’

 

The realm of mastery that even a talented person could only reach after a lifetime of effort.

 

He had reached it when he was only on the 15th floor. It was an incredibly fast, overwhelmingly rapid pace.

 

He had Manbyeonggi’s Divine Art, but that was an advanced technique. Passive skills like sword technique were extremely important as they dealt with the fundamental concepts and basics of weapon handling.

 

“So you were here.”

 

Kim Tae-yeon, who had climbed up the wall at some point, spoke.

 

“There’s chaos going on. You know about it, don’t you?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok silently shrugged his shoulders.

 

“It was quite noisy.”

 

“It’s beyond just noisy…”

 

Everyone had watched the fight between Kang Jun-hyeok and the Black Knight. Miraculous power that was wondrous and incomprehensible to them.

 

Even Yu Jin-ha, who was renowned as Korea’s strongest Player, paled in comparison. Naturally, various rumors about Kang Jun-hyeok were spreading.

 

“People think you’re a Perfect Player. More precisely, they’re not just thinking it… they’re certain of it.”

 

“Is that so.”

 

“What are you planning to do from now on?”

 

The world had broken down. Those with power gained treatment, respect, and influence befitting their strength.

 

Originally, Yu Jin-ha was the most influential Player in Korea.

 

But he didn’t try to lead people.

 

He only enjoyed their attention and awe, and since he didn’t try to take on any particular responsibility, he didn’t exercise much influence.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok might be different.

 

If he tried to exercise influence, the situation would change. Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

 

“Nothing will change from before. I will climb the Tower. People’s circumstances and such. You can handle that yourselves.”

 

“I see…”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok stood up from his spot. To her who was hesitating, Kang Jun-hyeok spoke.

 

“Ah. And your actions to save people.”

 

“Yes, yes!”

 

Kim Tae-yeon tensed up. Was he going to tell her not to do such useless things? Kang Jun-hyeok had always been critical, so it wouldn’t be strange for him to say that.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok’s actual words were the complete opposite.

 

“I won’t stop you. Do as you wish.”

 

“…What?”

 

“Well then, I have business to attend to.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok left the bewildered Kim Tae-yeon behind and climbed down the wall.

 

‘I thought it was unnecessary.’

 

He had thought that actions like saving people and leading the weak wouldn’t have any impact.

 

But unlike his previous life, he had succeeded in protecting all four Towers.

 

Fundamentally, it was because of Kang Jun-hyeok’s anomalous nature, but it meant her actions weren’t entirely meaningless.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok walked across the plains. People who saw him swallowed nervously and made a fuss.

 

“Good heavens….”

 

“That person is the Perfect Player, right?”

 

Admiration and longing. And reverent gazes.

 

Since he had felt such gazes to the point of being sick of them in his previous life, he passed by without any particular emotion.

 

Walking a bit further like that, he saw Yu Jin-ha surrounded by people.

 

He was preaching about what he had accomplished with an extremely gentle yet confident face. Kang Jun-hyeok unconsciously let out a chuckle. Hearing that laughter, Yu Jin-ha’s body flinched.

 

“K, Kang Jun-hyeok.”

 

“You’re still the same. Well, I suppose people don’t change that easily.”

 

“Ahahaha.”

 

Yu Jin-ha broke out in a cold sweat. Kang Jun-hyeok approached him and patted his shoulder.

 

“Yu Jin-ha.”

 

“Y, yes.”

 

“I’ll give you one warning and one piece of advice. Climb the Tower.”

 

“Th, the Tower… I’m already climbing it….”

 

“Not half-heartedly and easily like that. Seriously, with all your might, risking your life.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok realized something from this incident.

 

Yu Jin-ha was someone who would stay still in the same place for his entire life unless someone pushed him from behind.

 

No matter how much you care for him, lift him up, and praise him, he just gets buried in that and fails to move forward.

 

Therefore, Kang Jun-hyeok spoke quietly.

 

“If the next time we meet, the results you’ve achieved don’t satisfy me, this time it won’t end with just a threat.”

 

“Eek.”

 

Yu Jin-ha trembled violently. Kang Jun-hyeok brushed past him. The people who watched this scene were shocked once again.

 

Yu Jin-ha. Korea’s strongest Player and one of the top powerhouses even on a global scale, was trembling before Kang Jun-hyeok. Their reverence for Kang Jun-hyeok increased even more.

 

The rest time the Administrator gave them was three days.

 

Since there was nothing else to do, people lay down to rest and chatted among themselves. They spent their time very peacefully and idly.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok had something to do.

 

‘I should start looking soon.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok looked up at the air. There, a Quest was written.

 

[Hidden Quest : Find a mortal who will satisfy Yulsir and bring them before him.]

 

[Upon Success : Yulsir’s reward.]

 

[Upon Failure : Yulsir’s wrath.]
