All Master of 100 Floors Episode 093
Vampire Queen. Eldyria (2)
Blood Water rises around Kang Jun-hyeok.
It tries to crush and pulverize his body as it is.
That power was death itself. An extraordinary force that even a hundred of the current Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t handle.
It was a disaster.
When an elephant tries to trample an ant, there’s nothing the ant can do. It can only despair and wait for death.
[Judgment of Law.]
Divine Authority manifests. The speed of the Blood Water slows by 20%.
[Instant Acceleration.]
All of Kang Jun-hyeok’s speed increases by 1.5 times.
But even so, nothing changed. The Blood Water began to crush Kang Jun-hyeok calmly and cruelly.
So he expands his senses.
His five senses become sharp. He hears, sees, and feels without missing anything. He penetrates and reads the flow of the Blood Water.
Counterattack or defense were meaningless. The best he could do was evasion.
He twists his body. The flow of Blood Stream. Trajectory, path. He grasps everything. He concentrates his mind more than ever before. He draws up his Internal Energy.
It was a kind of state of selflessness.
Kwajijijik!
The Blood Water was crushed, and Eldyria’s eyes widened.
Kang Jun-hyeok had succeeded in evading her attack.
“Cough.”
Of course, it wasn’t perfect evasion. The remnants of Blood Water had grazed him. Just that alone dropped his health to double digits. If not for the System’s protection, his limbs would have been torn to shreds.
But he didn’t die.
He had evaded the attack of the mighty Transcendent, Eldyria.
Both Manbyeonggi and Eldyria doubted their own eyes.
[How?]
“You bastard?”
An ant had deflected an elephant’s foot. Even the two who had reached great heights couldn’t help but be shocked at such a sight. With Kang Jun-hyeok’s current abilities, it was impossible even if he tried ten thousand times.
But there was one fact they didn’t know.
That Kang Jun-hyeok had known Eldyria in his previous life.
They had exchanged thousands, tens of thousands. No. Hundreds of thousands of sparring matches. He knew everything about how Eldyria handled her power and how to counter it. That’s why he could pull off such a miraculous evasion.
“….”
Eldyria, whose expression had hardened, flicked her finger once more.
Chwaak.
Blood Water rises. It sweeps through the atmosphere, scraping the surface of the planet.
Kagagagagagak!
It was like a storm. It was meant to sweep all directions so that even evasion would be impossible. Kang Jun-hyeok caught his breath.
[Royal Blood.]
Blood Water rises drop by drop, taking shape. Like a gentle breeze, it collides with Eldyria’s storm.
Kagagagagagak!
The gentle breeze is instantly broken and scattered. Kang Jun-hyeok draws out power to his limit. He reads how Eldyria handles her power and aims for that gap.
As a result, he succeeds in deflecting the storm’s flow just a little, a sequence close to the level of slightly pushing a massive boulder.
Kang Jun-hyeok immediately thrust his body into that gap.
Kugugugugung!
The storm sweeps across the area.
And Kang Jun-hyeok was still standing on the planet.
[Grace of Compassion activated.]
Half of his depleted stamina recovered, but that was it. His consumed Internal Energy and body did not return. It was difficult to even move a finger.
If Eldyria tried to kill him now, he would inevitably meet his death.
But Eldyria was looking at Kang Jun-hyeok with a hardened expression.
‘How?’
A mere ant had succeeded in surviving her attacks twice. It was impossible. And above all.
‘…The Blood Water he wielded at the end.’
That was definitely Vampire Abilities.
A mere human had wielded Vampire’s Authority. After looking at Kang Jun-hyeok for a moment, Eldyria stepped forward. The distance compressed as if folding space.
In an instant, she stood before Kang Jun-hyeok, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. Her pure white face came right up to Kang Jun-hyeok’s nose.
“You. Who are you.”
“Someone who knows many things about you.”
“Nonsense.”
Eldyria’s face contorted. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.
“Beautiful ring.”
On Eldyria’s hand was a ring set with a Dark Red Gemstone.
“I have something similar.”
Kang Jun-hyeok drew out his last strength and raised his hand. Eldyria’s eyes widened.
On Kang Jun-hyeok’s finger was the exact same ring as hers.
“…You?”
“Didn’t I tell you. That I know many things.”
He smiled.
“How about we have a conversation?”
* * *
[ Mental Cultivation Method Proficiency has greatly increased.]
[Judgment of Law Proficiency has increased.]
[Instant Acceleration Proficiency has risen from F to E.]
[Instant Acceleration Proficiency has greatly increased.]
[Royal Blood Proficiency has risen from F to E.]
[Royal Blood Proficiency has greatly increased.]
[Observation proficiency has greatly increased.]
[Achievement + 3]
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a hollow laugh at the system windows that appeared.
He had barely managed to block just two attacks. It wasn’t even perfect evasion. It was merely surviving at a desperate level.
Just from that alone, his skill proficiency had risen like crazy.
Not only that, but his Achievement stat had also increased by 3. Surviving Eldyria’s attacks was itself a great Achievement.
“So.”
Eldyria, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.
“…You’re saying that I personally handed you that ring and even bestowed True Blood upon you.”
“That’s exactly right.”
Kang Jun-hyeok nodded. He told Eldyria everything that had happened on Floor 10.
“The Players who came here looking for you were buried in your past. They fell for your appearance and false connections, begging you for love. But I’m different.”
He spoke quietly.
“But I was different. I formed a true connection with you and helped you. We traveled together and achieved our goals. I was on your side, Eldyria.”
“…”
After hearing the story, Eldyria looked like she wanted to deny it.
But Kang Jun-hyeok possessed the Ruby Ring.
More importantly, she could feel her own energy in the Vampire’s Authority he possessed. It was definitive proof that she from Floor 10 had personally given him True Blood. In the end, Eldyria had no choice but to accept it.
“To bestow True Blood upon a mere human. I don’t know what my past self was thinking. So what do you want from me? Surely you’re not hoping for affection from me using that ring as a medium?”
“Of course not. I’m not that shameless. That was only your past self, after all.”
Kang Jun-hyeok calmly stated his purpose.
“What I want from you is true Divine Authority. Vampire Queen.”
* * *
What Kang Jun-hyeok obtained from the Floor 10 Quest was the Ruby Ring.
And the Active Skill Royal Blood.
But Royal Blood was only half an authority, not complete. During their journey, Kang Jun-hyeok had told her that he liked being human and didn’t want to become a vampire.
Vampires had many weaknesses, but if it was a True Ancestor, the story was different.
To perfect that authority.
That was precisely why he had sought out Eldyria. She frowned.
“Why should I invest time in someone like you?”
“Don’t be like that.”
Kang Jun-hyeok spoke playfully.
“I received True Blood from you. We’re almost like family. More importantly, even if it was in the past, you gave me this ring. You could say we’re family.”
“What nonsense you spout.”
Eldyria waved her finger as if displeased.
“Normally I would have crushed you to death… Fine. I don’t feel the need to do so. Get lost.”
Just as she was about to banish Kang Jun-hyeok, he spoke up.
“You lost everything due to the Werewolves’ attack and your Uncle’s betrayal.”
Eldyria’s finger stopped.
She lost her family, her people, and her kingdom. After wandering alone, she became the Vampire Queen and annihilated her enemies.
That was the Quest of Floor 10, and her past.
Kang Jun-hyeok continued speaking with a quiet smile.
“After that, you created your own kingdom as a queen. You made a family again and gathered people. You regained peace. What happened to them now?”
“….”
“They all died.”
The Great War of the past.
It was literally a fight for ownership of the universe.
Eldyria was defeated in that battle and lost everything.
“A young one speaks so boldly. Go ahead and keep babbling. You’ll need to give me a reason not to twist your neck.”
Killing intent filled Eldyria’s eyes. If he made even one mistake with his words, she would twist his neck right away. But Kang Jun-hyeok continued speaking without hesitation.
“That’s not all. The Victors butchered your past and shoved it into the Tower. Ignorant Players who know nothing about you come seeking you, shouting that they love you after seeing your past. Even though you fled to this remote planet because you were sick of it, their footsteps never cease.”
Kang Jun-hyeok made a pitying expression.
“You’ve lost everything. Your past and present. And even your future.”
Eldyria would never be able to live a peaceful life.
Players would constantly seek her out and beg for her affection.
“It’s the worst state possible, even worse than Manbyeonggi.”
“Are you done babbling? Then die.”
She swung her hand. Just as the Blood Stream was about to cut Kang Jun-hyeok’s neck, he opened his mouth.
“Don’t you want revenge?”
The Blood Stream stopped.
“Don’t you want to take revenge on the Victors who ruined everything for you, and make them pay for their sins?”
“….”
“You can’t do it. Because you’re ultimately a loser. But I’m different.”
He was a Player.
A legitimate challenger recognized by the Master of the Universe.
“I will act on your behalf. Vampire Queen. I will punish and defeat those who made you into this wretched state.”
“You speak well.”
Eldyria sneered.
“What you’re saying now is that you can defeat the Victors.”
The Victors, whom even the Master of the Universe, the Gods, Manbyeonggi, and even Eldyria couldn’t defeat.
Against them, Kang Jun-hyeok was speaking of victory.
It was an incredibly arrogant and mad statement, but Kang Jun-hyeok was confident.
“I can do it. Eldyria.”
It wasn’t simple arrogance.
These were the words of one who had actually achieved victory against the Victors and tried to change the history of the universe.
Eldyria, who read this, hesitated for a moment. Confusion filled her eyes as she looked at Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t back down and met her gaze.
After a brief standoff, Eldyria lowered her hand.
“…That confidence. You’ll need to prove it.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled faintly. He knew more about this person called Eldyria than anyone else. From the beginning, he never even considered the possibility of rejection.
“Well then, please take care of me for the time being. Eldyria. Vampire Queen.”
Eldyria nodded with a strange expression.
