All Master of 100 Floors Episode 094
Vampire Queen. Eldyria (3)
“By true Divine Authority, you mean True Blood, don’t you?”
“I won’t deny it.”
“How utterly greedy.”
Eldyria narrowed her eyes. Throughout her long years, she had never granted her True Blood to anyone.
“Fine. I’ll accept your proposal. But my True Blood is not given to just anyone. You will undergo a strict test.”
“As you wish.”
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly. Eldyria snapped her fingers. Blood Water formed into an ornate chair, and she sat down on it, crossing her legs.
“First, let’s hear what you have, what achievements you’ve accomplished.”
What had he achieved, what had he accomplished so far.
Eldyria gazed intently at Manbyeonggi.
“You possess Manbyeonggi. I never expected that arrogant one to be held by another’s hand. That’s not all. The flow of Internal Energy you wielded. That was definitely his Mental Cultivation Method. Did you teach him?”
[That’s what happened.]
“To think you would teach your Mental Cultivation Method to another. Does this one have such talent?”
[No. That’s not it. This one’s talent for Martial Arts isn’t particularly outstanding. It’s the kind you could find not uncommonly if you searched through sects.]
Eldyria showed a puzzled expression at Manbyeonggi’s answer.
“Then why?”
[I saw potential.]
Manbyeonggi said cheerfully.
[You’ll understand the meaning of that in time as well, Eldyria.]
“Hmm.”
Eldyria rested her chin on her hand and asked another question.
“Judging by the power you currently possess, you seem to have reached around the 50th Floor. Is that correct?”
Eldyria had met countless Players who had sought her out from across the Universe. She knew about the Players’ floors and the approximate power that matched them. Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.
“No. It’s lower than that.”
“Then is it the 40th Floor? That’s reasonably useful. But for someone seeking True Blood from me, it’s lacking…”
“15th Floor.”
Kang Jun-hyeok answered.
Eldyria paused.
After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth.
“15th Floor?”
“Yes.”
“…How many floors have you Perfect Cleared in total?”
“All of them.”
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.
“From Floor 1 to 15th Floor. I’ve Perfect Cleared every floor.”
“….”
Eldyria was at a loss for words.
She too had roughly grasped the difficulty level of the Tower.
As such, she knew that Perfect Clear was virtually impossible.
It wasn’t simply about power, but required analysis of structure, interpretation of the System, and even understanding the purpose of Quests. All of it had to be comprehended.
That was a realm beyond cognition.
Even if she were to climb the Tower, she couldn’t guarantee whether she could Perfect Clear every floor.
Yet Kang Jun-hyeok had just said he Perfect Cleared every floor.
Eldyria unconsciously looked at Manbyeonggi. Manbyeonggi affirmed it.
[It is the truth.]
“How?”
[Did I not say? I saw the possibility.]
“I defeated Alessandro.”
“…Alessandro. The Knight of the Forgotten God. He died by your hand.”
“It was the result of a fair fight. That’s not all. I received recognition from Yulsir, the god of Laws, and was granted his Divine Authority. And not only Manbyeonggi, but also Pixie and the Blacksmith. I received their recognition and am receiving their assistance.”
Kang Jun-hyeok activated Pixie’s Treasure Intuition and showed the armor the Blacksmith had made. Eldyria’s eyes widened as she examined it.
He had received recognition not only from Manbyeonggi but from numerous defeated ones. Moreover, each and every one of them was no ordinary being.
Yulsir, the god of Laws, went without saying, and Pixie and the Blacksmith were among the finest in their respective domains.
“And.”
[Crack Movement.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moved through the cracks of the planet.
At that moment, Eldyria’s body reflexively flinched. She let out a groan as she forcibly suppressed the killing intent that arose.
“…Victor’s, Divine Authority?”
“Hunger Growing in the Cracks. I triumphed over that Victor’s trial and obtained Divine Authority as a reward.”
Kang Jun-hyeok finished speaking calmly.
“….”
She had expected he wasn’t ordinary, but this exceeded Eldyria’s imagination.
If it’s to this extent.
‘Perhaps.’
Eldyria’s eyes grew heavy. She snapped her fingers. The chair disappeared as she rose to her feet.
“Well, fine. You’ll at least provide some entertainment. Then now prove to me the power you possess.”
“Was the battle just now insufficient?”
“Insufficient. You merely did your best to survive. You haven’t proven your power to me.”
“But there’s a problem with my stamina.”
A Player’s stamina doesn’t recover. Though he had Grace of Compassion and Royal Blood, their cooldowns were extremely long.
“You don’t need to worry about that part.”
Eldyria snapped her fingers. Blood Water engulfed Kang Jun-hyeok.
[Royal Blood.]
At the same time, the skill was forcibly activated.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.
“…Is something like this even possible?”
“The skills you possess were obtained through my True Blood. Simple intervention is possible.”
Eldyria spoke as if it were easy, but in reality, it wasn’t. Right now, she had intervened in the System created by the Master of the Universe.
Among the defeated, one who belonged to the highest tier, one who played a major role in the Great War.
That was none other than the Vampire Queen, Eldyria.
With this, there was nothing to hesitate about. Kang Jun-hyeok gripped his weapon.
“You’ll control your strength, right?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you don’t die even if you give it your all.”
“That’s not very reassuring.”
“Come at me.”
Blood Water rose in streams. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled and stepped forward.
* * *
After that, Kang Jun-hyeok continued sparring against Eldyria.
Eldyria’s attacks were vicious. Her attitude was as if it wouldn’t matter if he died if he couldn’t respond properly.
Kang Jun-hyeok had to respond seriously to each and every attack, unable to relax his guard for even a moment. When his stamina was depleted, she would forcibly restore it and they would fight again, repeating this cycle for nearly a week.
Eldyria shot Blood Streams like spears. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly raised his shield.
Kaaaaaang!
His body was about to be blown away along with the shield. He gritted his teeth and endured.
[Block.]
Kagagagak!
As a result of activating the skill as well, he barely succeeded in defending.
Eldyria withdrew her hand.
“This should be enough. Rest for 30 minutes.”
“Yes.”
Kang Jun-hyeok, who had barely blocked the last attack, let out rough breaths.
Even for Kang Jun-hyeok, it was quite difficult. It was incomparable to all the time he had spent climbing the Tower combined. He felt the threat of death at every single moment.
But the results were just as certain.
[Block Proficiency has increased from E to D.]
[Divine Technique Proficiency has….]
Normally, simple sparring wouldn’t increase proficiency, but Eldyria’s attacks contained Killing Intent. Against attacks that seemed to say it wouldn’t matter if he died, the proficiency of all kinds of skills was rising like crazy.
After meeting Eldyria, the skills that had reached one level higher in proficiency were Shield Technique and Block, Sword Energy Wind Blade, Repulsion, Instant Acceleration, and Royal Blood. A total of six skills.
Including the skills that had simply increased, it was difficult to count them all.
‘This is it.’
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled joyfully.
The reason she had sought out Eldyria was partly to obtain proper Divine Authority, but also to raise proficiency.
He was currently in a half-blocked state when it came to proficiency increases.
Proficiency wouldn’t rise against inferior opponents, because he had gained power that was too strong compared to the floors.
That problem was solved instantly through Eldyria.
“By the way, your martial arts proficiency is annoyingly slow to rise. It’s still F.”
[Did you think it would rise just from facing Eldyria? Focus more and gain enlightenment. Only then will you be able to reach it.]
“So strict.”
Kang Jun-hyeok conversed with Manbyeonggi. Eldyria was staring intently at this sight.
‘He’s certainly a strange fellow.’
As Manbyeonggi said, Kang Jun-hyeok’s talent for swordsmanship and techniques wasn’t particularly outstanding.
That level of talent could be found without much difficulty. Honestly speaking, it felt disappointingly mediocre.
‘But… as a Player, that’s a different story.’
How he handled the System’s structure, utilized Player characteristics, and managed the heterogeneity of Skills.
In that regard, he was perfect.
No. He was beyond that level. He went beyond utilizing them to handling them like his own limbs. None of the Players she had seen could handle things like Kang Jun-hyeok.
‘As if.’
He felt like a being born to become a Player.
‘Is he really human?’
It was extremely strange. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been sitting and resting, stood up. Soon he took out several bottles from his inventory and skillfully mixed them before presenting it to Eldyria.
“A Blood Cocktail. Please enjoy it comfortably.”
“…Hmph. You’re quite perceptive.”
Eldyria took the cocktail. It was a very familiar movement, and it had to be. Kang Jun-hyeok had been catering to Eldyria’s preferences and making something for her during every break.
Eldyria looked at Kang Jun-hyeok with strange eyes.
‘It wasn’t for nothing that he received a ring from me.’
Kang Jun-hyeok perfectly understood her tastes.
He always accommodated her, and even without her saying anything, he did what she wanted.
Honestly speaking, the past week had been quite peaceful.
Her emotions had always been sharply on edge.
She had lost everything and even her past had been exploited, while Players begged for love knowing nothing about her.
She was exhausted.
Like a blade, she had been stabbing herself.
But after Kang Jun-hyeok arrived, her emotions had softened. It felt as if she had gained family.
Having thought that far, she snorted.
‘Family, what nonsense.’
She had lost everything.
She would never trust others again, nor give her emotions to anyone.
The reason Kang Jun-hyeok felt comfortable was probably because he had received her True Blood. Feeling kinship was natural. Eldyria denied her own emotions.
And Kang Jun-hyeok was guessing all of her inner thoughts.
‘She’s a stubborn one.’
In his previous life, he had struggled considerably to open her heart. Honestly speaking, this was much easier.
‘Just one more week and she’ll completely open up.’
“…Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”
“It’s nothing. Please use this. You’ll like it.”
Kang Jun-hyeok put the straw into the cocktail glass.
‘He used to claim that straws were one of the most wonderful things humans ever created.’
“What is this?”
Eldyria made a disgusted expression, but obediently brought the straw to her lips. After sipping for a moment, she looked surprised, then soon showed an expression filled with strange satisfaction. Kang Jun-hyeok watched her silently with a smile.
