Outside [Killing Tower],
hundreds of thousands of awakeners stood with their heads tilted back, staring up at the sky with faces full of disbelief.
Even now, they couldn’t bring themselves to believe what they’d just witnessed was real.
"Are you serious?! That human kid... deleted [Killing Tower]?!"
"Caelan! Caelan!! Humanity’s undisputed strongest of this generation!"
"Not just humanity—he’s the strongest young generation among all races! His future is limitless!!"
At this mont, aside from the elf awakeners—who wore openly unwilling expressions—
even the awakeners of the titan race chose silence.
"You humans’ Caelan is indeed not weak. But our elven prince Ferman is the true strongest of the young generation."
"He just has other matters right now, so he can’t co challenge [Killing Grounds]. Otherwise there wouldn’t be anything for you to boast about!"
Hearing that, the human awakeners imdiately fired back.
The relationship between the two sides had never been particularly friendly.
In truth, the relationship between humans and elves was extrely delicate.
Humans had long been no match for the elves—until the last two hundred years, when human strength kept rising and more and more geniuses appeared, to the point that humans had begun to rival the elves head-on.
The ga had fused with reality, but resources would always be limited. The races still maintained a tense competitive relationship.
So although humans and elves hadn’t gone to war, their relationship had always been strained.
"Do you die if you don’t brag? What Ferman? Why didn’t he show up just now?"
"And what about that Joseph you hyped up—wasn’t he supposed to be insanely strong? But didn’t he fail to even clear the first floor? Oh right—Floor 1’s boss has already been replaced. Want him to try again??"
The human awakeners went straight for the kill.
The elf awakeners turned red in the face, so angry they didn’t know how to refute it.
Even so, the human awakeners didn’t forget to twist the knife.
"Oh, and by the way—just a friendly reminder: your elven supre treasure, [Sacred Tree Fruit], is in Caelan’s hands now."
On the spot, a few particularly hot-tempered elf awakeners were so furious they fainted!
For a mont, the scene devolved into chaos.
...
[Killing Tower]
By now, it had beco pure nothingness, leaving behind only a vast, charred void.
But before [Divine Dragon] exploded, Caelan had already taken Alyssa and used [Flashstep] to relocate to a safe place.
Even so, Alyssa remained in a dazed, unfocused state.
Because what had happened before her eyes just now had clearly exceeded the limits of her understanding.
Especially the [Dark Titan] that appeared at the end—it was incomparably stronger than that hollow shell she’d seen in Frostguard City.
Caelan was simply too powerful!
At this mont, Alyssa didn’t even know how she should interact with Caelan in the future.
It felt as if an unbridgeable gulf had ford between them—their "levels" weren’t even in the sa world.
"Want to leave?"
Caelan’s sudden question made Alyssa blink blankly.
But she quickly ca back to herself and nodded lightly.
Only then did she belatedly realize that her [Class Star Ascension Quest] was already completed.
But she wasn’t surprised at all.
After all, Caelan had brought her through a full clear of Floor 100—completing a re 10-floor task was only normal, wasn’t it??
On the other side, Caelan didn’t like drawing attention.
Especially now that he’d made a killing—he needed a safe place to carefully review his loot!
So he took Alyssa and, at the sa ti [Killing Tower] was being destroyed, used a spatial rift to leave the instance.
...
St. Peter City
Caelan waved at Alyssa.
"I’ve got things to do. See you next ti."
"Oh, and don’t forget to transfer the points to ."
After saying that, Caelan’s figure vanished on the spot, leaving Alyssa alone in the air, totally disoriented.
In fact, even now, Alyssa still hadn’t completely snapped out of it.
To her, everything felt like a dream.
Only a few hours had passed, yet it felt as if ages had gone by.
If Alyssa hadn’t confird again and again that her [Class Star Ascension Quest] was completed...
she might genuinely have suspected she’d just had a dream.
So just what level had Caelan’s strength reached?
...
On the other side, Caelan returned ho almost without stopping to breathe.
He flopped onto his large bed and, almost reflexively, opened his storage space.
When he saw the supre treasures of the ten great races lying quietly inside his inventory, his mood surged to an unprecedented high!
The ten great races’ supre treasures—if he sold these, wouldn’t he make a fortune beyond imagination??
Caelan could practically picture it already: once converted into gold coins, they’d pile up into a mountain-sized heap!
With that much gold, it might even be possible for him to raise every single skill all the way to LV99999!
But...
Caelan still suppressed the urge to sell everything for gold coins.
Mainly because the effects of these supre treasures were simply too tempting!
Take the elven supre treasure [Sacred Tree Fruit], for example.
On the surface, it was nothing more than an ordinary-looking fruit—and it was a consumable item, at that.
But its effect...
was absurdly, outrageously overpowered!
[Sacred Tree Fruit]
[Effect: After use, instantly restores all of your states to full and removes all buffs and debuffs.]
That was basically the equivalent of giving him an extra life!
Could you sell your own life?
Of course not.
So Caelan decisively stored [Sacred Tree Fruit] in his inventory.
To him, [Sacred Tree Fruit] was absolutely a trump card now.
If he ever encountered a life-or-death crisis in the future, the value of [Sacred Tree Fruit] would be equivalent to a "revive token" that brought you back at full state.
As for the other races’ supre treasures—while not all of them were consumables—without exception, they were all ridiculously overpowered good stuff!
For example, humanity’s [Warden’s Heart] had a very pure, straightforward effect:
It allowed him to ignore three attacks per day—whether physical attacks or magic attacks, all could be nullified.
And the titan race’s [Ice Heart] was even simpler and more brutal:
It directly increased the damage of ice-and-snow-type skills, multiplying the effect by tenfold!
But what truly caught Caelan’s attention... was the new item he had just obtained.
[Wax Effigy Core (Sealed)]
What was this thing?
