All Master of 100 Floors Episode 097
Vampire Queen. Eldyria (6)
“Well then.”
Just as he was about to wrap things up, space suddenly split apart. A hand emerged from the torn space, and soon a human figure appeared.
The owner of the figure was a man. He was handsome with brilliantly shining armor and blue hair. Eldyria frowned.
“You’ve been quiet for a while, and now you’ve crawled back again.”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
The man’s eyes widened upon seeing Eldyria. His pupils trembled and soon began to fill with ecstasy.
“Aah! Lady Eldyria! Lady Eldyria! I’ve finally met you! I’ve been searching for you!”
The man shouted passionately.
“I am the first prince of Acrotia Kingdom. My name is Haldenberg Acrotia! When I met you on Floor 10, I realized it. That you are the companion who will spend a lifetime with me! Please, be with me!”
“Annoying pests.”
Eldyria clicked her tongue. Players who saw her past self trapped in the Tower and came begging for love. It was now beyond tiresome to the point of being lamentable.
Until now, she had simply killed the Players who came to her after brief questioning.
But this time, as if a good idea had occurred to her, she smiled mysteriously. She slowly moved and positioned herself behind Kang Jun-hyeok.
“Lady Eldyria?”
“You said you would fulfill my wishes. Now. This is my first wish.”
She gestured toward the man with her chin.
“Deal with that wretch who dares to beg for emotions after seeing my past self, with your own hands.”
Kang Jun-hyeok, realizing her intention, chuckled.
“Understood.”
Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward. The man’s face contorted upon seeing him.
“You. Who are you!”
“Lady Eldyria’s successor.”
Kang Jun-hyeok answered simply.
“Unfortunately, Lady Eldyria doesn’t want to welcome outsiders. So it would be good if you left.”
“Outsider? I’m an outsider! Don’t make me laugh! I am her one and only companion!”
“There have been over a hundred guys who said that.”
Eldyria muttered indifferently. Haldenberg drew his weapon with bloodshot eyes.
“Now I understand! You’re trying to cloud her vision by staying at Lady Eldyria’s side! Oh! Lady Eldyria! Please wait just a moment! I will kill this wicked liar and make you see clearly!”
Kuuung!
As soon as he finished speaking, the man thrust his sword toward Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok drew his sword in response.
Kaaaang!
A tremendous collision sound rang out. Eldyria giggled and leaned back in her chair.
“Now. Work hard to win me over. Create an entertaining spectacle.”
‘That personality is still the same.’
The way she watched those dueling over her like an entertaining spectacle. It was exactly the same as in his previous life. Kang Jun-hyeok grumbled inwardly.
* * *
Kwaaaaang!
The Man’s sword strikes down.
Swinging violently, it aims for Kang Jun-hyeok’s entire body. Kang Jun-hyeok’s body is pushed back as he blocks the attack.
Furious sword strikes come rushing in. Kang Jun-hyeok twists his body. The Man roughly raises his arm.
[Chop.]
The sword strikes down powerfully. With a thunderous sound, Kang Jun-hyeok’s knee touches the ground.
Fast and strong.
Even more so than Kang Jun-hyeok.
On Earth, there was no Player stronger than Kang Jun-hyeok. But that was only the story on Earth. The Universe was vast and there were countless Players.
At this point in time, the number of Players stronger than him was not small. Moreover, he was behind by nearly 10 years, making it even more so. The Man before his eyes was also one of them. It was just that Earth was far too fragile.
Kaaaang!
Kang Jun-hyeok steps back two paces. The Man swings a sword strike filled with Killing Intent. Kang Jun-hyeok steadies his breathing.
The Man was a Player stronger than Kang Jun-hyeok.
But that didn’t mean he would be defeated.
[Thrust.]
Kaaaang!
The sword thrusts at The Man. The Man quickly succeeds in defending, but Thrust activates once more.
The Man is momentarily flustered but swiftly responds to the attack that was launched. Since The Man was also a Player, he understood the peculiarities and effects of Skills.
[Block.]
The Man defends against the two thrusts through his skill.
And Kang Jun-hyeok immediately responds.
[Impact.]
“Keuuuk!”
Instantly, an intense shock penetrates his defense and spreads throughout his body. The Man forcibly grips his trembling hands.
[Spear Throwing.]
Pababaak!
Taking advantage of that opening, spears burst forth in succession. The Man quickly defends using his skills. Kang Jun-hyeok counters that skill with another skill.
Jjeojeojeojeojeojeojeong!
“Uh, uuuum!”
In an instant, The Man began to be overwhelmed by Kang Jun-hyeok.
He was certainly stronger than Kang Jun-hyeok. His stats were higher and he possessed various skills. His talent for Sword Technique was also incomparably superior.
But that was it. His abilities as a Player were overwhelmingly inferior. Eldyria, who had been watching their fight, muttered as if finding it fascinating.
“Quite skillful indeed.”
Kang Jun-hyeok was overwhelming The Man purely through his utilization of Skills.
The Man also possessed powerful skills. Among them were even higher-tier skills that Kang Jun-hyeok hadn’t obtained. But even so, he couldn’t mount a proper counterattack.
“Eeeeeek!”
The Man, who had been pushed back, quickly stomped his foot.
[Earth Crush.]
Kuguugugung!
The ground began to shake and crumble. Earth Crush. A powerful high-grade Active Skill available from the Shop. It was a skill even Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t possess.
The earth collapsed and crumbled like a sinkhole. It tried to bury Kang Jun-hyeok deep within the ground.
[Earth Shake.]
At that moment, the earth trembled.
A Low Grade Active Skill that Kang Jun-hyeok possessed. Earth Shake. Naturally, due to the significant difference in skill grade, it couldn’t have much effect on the collapsing earth.
And one more thing.
[Repulsion.]
Kiiing!
The force pushed away the surroundings. The two skills combined succeeded in creating a small gap. Using that gap, he kicked off with his feet.
[Air Jump.]
He kicked off twice from the collapsed earth and escaped.
He had countered an incredibly powerful high-grade Active Skill with two Low Grade Skills and one Intermediate skill.
An action that could only be performed with perfect understanding of the skill’s structure, operating principles, and power.
The sword pierced through the shoulder of The Man, whose face was filled with shock.
Kwajik.
“Kreuuk!”
The Man’s body flew backward as if bounced.
With a face filled with shock, he hastily responded to Kang Jun-hyeok’s attack.
“You’re skilled at fighting other Players too.”
Eldyria, who had been watching the battle, muttered. From her perspective, The Man was clearly stronger than Kang Jun-hyeok. If they fought ten times, The Man would probably win eight of them. Yet he was being overwhelmed by pure understanding of the System.
‘Where did such a guy come from?’
The fight didn’t change much after that. Even though The Man was clearly stronger than Kang Jun-hyeok, he couldn’t mount any significant counterattack and was busy defending. His health rapidly depleted.
“What are you? What are you? What the hell are you!”
“Someone who has what you don’t.”
Kang Jun-hyeok answered simply. The Man’s face contorted with rage.
‘The rehabilitation went well enough.’
It had been a long time since he fought another Player with his life on the line. He was just the right opponent for rehabilitation. Now it was time to see the end.
After taking a breath, Kang Jun-hyeok activated his skill.
[True Ancestor Awakening.]
At the same time, he became a True Ancestor.
Everything about his body was enhanced. His senses became infinitely sharp and he gained near-absolute dominion over blood. His black eyes turned red and his skin became white.
“…Ah, ah.”
The Man, who had been preparing for an attack, opened his mouth. He realized what state Kang Jun-hyeok was in now. That’s why he despaired.
“Why does someone like you have that!”
Kwajijik.
Kang Jun-hyeok immediately closed the distance. His speed was clearly faster than before. The Man hastily tried to respond with a skill, but blood rose up. It bound his entire body, seized and subdued him, then pressed down.
He pierced the subdued opponent’s chest with his sword.
“Keheuk!”
The Man coughed as if spitting blood. Kang Jun-hyeok, having successfully subdued him in an instant, smiled with satisfaction.
“So this is the level of performance.”
The duration of True Ancestor Awakening was only 10 seconds. But it was powerful enough that it didn’t feel lacking. All his stats were enhanced and his dominion over blood was on a completely different level than before.
Although his opponent was psychologically flustered and couldn’t respond properly, he had subdued him in an instant. It meant that with True Ancestor Awakening, he could handle even opponents of a higher tier.
“Kugh. Kugh.”
The Man writhed his body. His health must have dropped to double digits. One more stab would be enough to kill him.
The moment Kang Jun-hyeok raised his sword, Eldyria spoke.
“Could you yield to me for a moment?”
“As you wish.”
“Step back.”
Kang Jun-hyeok stepped back three paces. Eldyria spread her Blood Curtain. Having blocked sound from the outside, Eldyria approached The Man.
“Ah. Lady Eldyria.”
The Man’s face, which had been filled with despair, suddenly lit up. Even with death before his eyes, he was rejoicing in her presence.
“Those who are obsessed with my past and defile the present.”
She despised the Players.
She scorned and hated them.
In some ways, even more than the Victors.
“But… this time, you deserve praise. Thanks to you, I was able to meet someone like him.”
Eldyria smiled faintly. There was a warm energy dwelling in her eyes. Even though it wasn’t directed at him, The Man momentarily wore a dreamy expression.
“Lady Eldyria…”
“Your existence has been helpful to me. So die with satisfaction.”
Having finished speaking, Eldyria withdrew her curtain. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been waiting, asked.
“Are you finished?”
“Finish it.”
Kang Jun-hyeok thrust his sword into The Man’s chest. The Man let out a groan and then went limp. Something that had been dwelling within him flowed into Kang Jun-hyeok, and at the same time, system windows appeared in succession.
[Level Up.]
[Health + 30]
[Strength + 1]
[Speed + 1]
[Sword Technique proficiency has greatly increased.]
[Earth Shake proficiency has greatly increased.]
[Observation proficiency has…]
[You have obtained 1,534 Gold.]
The proficiency of over ten skills increased in succession.
When a Player killed another Player, they plundered part of what that person had achieved.
From experience points and gold, to even proficiency. It was close to a kind of absorption. Eldyria waved her hand toward the satisfied Kang Jun-hyeok.
“Now your business is finished. Go.”
“Don’t you plan to say farewell?”
“What farewell. Don’t waste time unnecessarily and just climb the Tower. If it’s for your purpose, you’ll need to climb diligently. Who knows. You might actually achieve the Quest and obtain me.”
Eldyria smiled mischievously. Kang Jun-hyeok made a puzzled expression.
‘This is strange.’
The Eldyria he knew would have held onto him longer.
She would have killed time with trivial conversations. She was ultimately someone who got very lonely. He had been prepared to be detained for at least a month.
But contrary to his expectations, she was trying to send him off far too easily.
Though slightly puzzled, since she was sending him off herself, there was no reason to hold back. Kang Jun-hyeok greeted her politely.
“Then, I’ll look forward to the day we meet again someday.”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body disappeared with a flash.
In the silence, Eldyria muttered.
“The day we meet again someday. It won’t take very long.”
The reason she didn’t hold onto Kang Jun-hyeok was simple.
When she bestowed True Blood upon Kang Jun-hyeok. She had designed one special device.
It was a link, and a connection.
“I won’t be bored anymore.”
She sat down casually with light humming. Blood began to seep out, starting to form complex Magic Formulas.
