Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 80 --Speed-Clearing Nine Floors—Haters, Shut Up!
"Alright. You just stand to the side and watch," Caelan said, turning his head to Alyssa.
Alyssa lowered her head, her hand gripping the lance so tightly her fingers ached.
Once upon a time, she had been so high-spirited—slaying monsters freely under countless gazes and waves of praise.
But inside [Killing Grounds], she could only be dead weight.
That crushing gap nearly made her truly crack.
"I’m sorry... it’s my fault. I’m too weak."
...
Meanwhile, outside [Killing Grounds], awakeners from various races had also joined the spectators.
The moment they sensed Alyssa’s strength, they couldn’t help mocking her.
"Human awakeners really are getting weaker and weaker."
"Isn’t Alyssa your Ironclad Legion’s goddess? That’s it? Her performance is worse than some random passerby!"
"And that passerby beside her isn’t anything special either. His sword fundamentals are solid, sure—but there’s nothing distinctive!"
"A so-called human genius like that isn’t even worth one strand of Joseph’s leg hair!"
"Eikon could crush them with one hand!"
Hearing the jeers from these foreign races, the human awakeners nearby all turned furious.
"The hell are you talking about? That elf Albie-looking pretty boy—give me one kick and I’ll snap his waist, you believe it?!"
"And that Eikon meathead—no idea what you’re even hyping up!"
In an instant, humans and the other races erupted into a ferocious trash-talk war.
If not for the Instance’s rule restrictions, they would’ve already started beating each other senseless.
...
Inside the giant bubble—
Joseph and Eikon were actually struggling hard.
Only when they truly faced Maskmaster did they realize how nasty this boss was.
Originally, their plan had been to clear the first floor quickly and crush human morale in one blow.
But once they were actually fighting Maskmaster—
Even with boss information in hand, they still found it difficult to handle.
Especially Joseph, the elf. He supposedly had complete intelligence on all ten floors’ strongest entities—combat styles, habits, weak-point analyses, everything.
Yet the moment he faced the real boss, he discovered his "perfect info"—was basically useless.
Maskmaster’s methods of attack were complex and bizarre to the extreme.
Even Joseph, relying on the elves’ natural agility, was chased around like a frantic monkey, sprinting back and forth in chaos.
As for Eikon... the scene was even uglier.
Against Maskmaster, Eikon was basically a human-shaped punching bag. Aside from getting battered, he couldn’t land a single real counterattack.
That sight immediately made the human spectators explode with excitement.
"You foreigners been yapping nonstop, huh? Look at your ’geniuses’—they’re getting their asses beat too!"
"That Joseph and Eikon—are they your strongest young generation? So this is it? This is all you’ve got??"
When it came to trash talk, humans were a race-level cheat code—an existence so overpowered that all other races combined still couldn’t match them.
That counterattack in the argument made even the elves and the other races start breaking down.
"What do you mean getting beaten?! Joseph is clearly retreating tactically!"
"Eikon is demonstrating that Maskmaster can’t break his defense. When it comes down to it, Eikon will definitely win!"
Faced with that stubborn denial, the human awakeners immediately pointed toward the giant bubble where Caelan was.
"Look at your so-called geniuses, then look at ours! He’s fighting back and forth, and he’s doing it one-versus-two! What are you even being arrogant for?!"
Even the foreign races knew their own prodigies weren’t performing well.
What the hell were Joseph and Eikon doing?
Fight back already—what’s the point of nonstop dodging and running?
And Eikon—those muscles aren’t there for you to take beatings!
But despite how angry they were, the foreign awakeners showed an unusual unity when facing humans.
"You don’t understand anything. Neither Joseph nor Eikon is the strongest genius of our race."
"And I believe they will clear the first floor."
"As for your human kid... his movements are getting slower. Looks like he’s running out of stamina."
The human awakeners immediately fired back.
"Our strongest hasn’t even stepped in yet."
Just as the argument was reaching its peak—
A message suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
[Killing Grounds]
[Floor 1 has been cleared.]
In that instant, tens of thousands—no, hundreds of thousands—of spectators fell into an eerie silence.
Wait, what?
They’d just been screaming at each other for ages, and they didn’t even see what happened... and the first floor was already cleared?!
Almost everyone’s gaze snapped toward the giant bubble.
Then they noticed something shocking—
Maskmaster’s replica had vanished without a trace at some point.
In its place stood a young replica.
[Killing Grounds]
[Floor 1 final boss has been replaced by Caelan!!]
The moment that announcement hit, the entire crowd went into shock.
"Caelan? Why does that name sound familiar?!"
"I’ve heard it! I’m an internal member of Ironclad Legion—he was nominated for Best Rookie this year!"
"No wonder Alyssa teamed up with him. They’re on the same side!"
"This Caelan... don’t you think he’s insanely handsome?"
"Caelan is GOATED!! Humans need geniuses like you!!"
In an instant, a tidal wave of human cheers surged to the absolute peak!
Meanwhile, the foreign-race awakeners looked as if they’d just lost a hundred gold coins—their expressions ugly beyond belief.
But before the humans’ cheering could even die down, a new chain of notifications exploded in front of everyone’s eyes!
[Killing Grounds: Floor 2 has been cleared!]
[Final boss replaced by Caelan. Maskmaster removed. Original Floor 2 boss downgraded to Floor 1 final boss.]
[Killing Grounds: Floor 3 has been cleared. Final boss replaced by Caelan. Original Floor 3 boss downgraded...]
[Killing Grounds: Floor 4 has been cleared. Final boss replaced by Caelan. Original Floor 4 boss downgraded...]
...
[Killing Grounds: Floor 8 has been cleared. Final boss replaced by Caelan. Original Floor 8 boss downgraded...]
[Killing Grounds: Floor 9 has been cleared. Final boss replaced by Caelan. Original Floor 9 boss downgraded...]
Watching Caelan charge forward like a madman—clearing floors one after another—
This time, it wasn’t just the human awakeners. Even the spectators from other races wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
"No—how is this possible?! It’s only been a few minutes and he’s already at the tenth floor?!"
"Damn it... what kind of monster did the human race just produce?"
