Is this really a Game?!

\'The game has just started, it\'s impossible for someone that powerful to exist on Earth right now, not to mention that it was even bigger than it is right now.\' Reign thought to himself before his eyes constricted as he thought of something.

\'Wait for a second, that vision, how long ago did it happen, no, did I even happen?\'

Reign\'s thoughts were in disarray right now. Did he see the past, an imaginary scenario, or perhaps the future?

Reign didn\'t know, perhaps it wasn\'t even important after the two events he had seen were things that he wouldn\'t be able to touch in the near future.

The scene of the man standing alone against his enemies, against what seemed to be every powerful figure of the universe, and the many spaceships that could annihilate planets with ease was stuck in Reign\'s head.

Just how powerful did one have to be to command such fear?

Reign doubted that so many of them had appeared simply to bully a weaker person, the reason was definitely that the man did what he said he would, he overturned heaven and earth and shook the whole universe so fiercely that they ended up banding together in order to face him.

But who was that man?

Reign had no idea, he didn\'t even know what the man looked like, only his angry voice could be heard back when he was looking through his eyes.

"Our challengers are back everybody!" Drayce\'s voice coupled with the cheers of thousands of spectators woke Reign up from his thoughts.

There was no time for him to think about what happened, he needed to focus on what was going on right now.

"Our challengers gave us a spectacular show for the 14th fight, now we move on to the 15th one!" The crowd once again cheered loudly as Drayce looked down on Reign and the others before giving them a wink and disappearing.

The battle soon commenced, and it was an incredibly easy one.

The enemy they were going up against this time was a group of 20 humanoid monsters. Their skin was orange in color and they had some brown scales growing on the legs and arms.

The enemy posed no threat to Reign and the others as they ranged from level 70 to level 80. They were stronger than monsters of the same level, but compared to Reign and the others, they were nothing.

Even the angels were about the same strength as the lower-leveled monsters. The whole battle only took them about 2 minutes. The dead bodies of the monsters scattered away and only bones were left in their place.

It wasn\'t only this battle that was easy, but all the battles before the final round. There were some enemies that were stronger and forced Reign and the others to fight seriously, but compared to Pentos or the Death Riders, they were far weaker.

As Reign and the others finished off the opponent they had for the 24th round, Drayce gave them 1 hour to rest before attempting the final round. Even though the opponents they had faced before didn\'t truly pressure them or made them go all out, they had still spent some mana and stamina for the battles.

It wouldn\'t affect them too much, but they would definitely not be in their peak states before the final round. Drayce wanted them to be at their strongest as the final round was different, there was no drawing pieces of paper in order to pick their enemy, instead, the arena itself would bring forth an enemy that was at the very edge of being something they can handle and defeat.

As time passed, the party returned to the arena, eager to have the final fight. They had already spent a lot of time in the arena and were quite eager to leave. Not only that, but they would complete the hidden task if they were able to clear the arena, something that was incredibly alluring to them.

Of course, it wasn\'t just by going through all the 25 rounds that they would complete the hidden task as there was more to be done in the building above the pyramid. They weren\'t the only ones doing the hidden task and they definitely didn\'t want to allow others the chance to complete the hidden task before them.

"The final round shall commence!" Drayce suddenly shouted as the crowd cheered loudly.

Reign and the others stared intensely at the gate that had opened. Even before the enemy had shown itself, they were already feeling some pressure.

A couple of seconds had passed and the enemy had still not shown itself, but the pressure and danger that Reign and the others were feeling were still there, no, it had even become stronger.

Suddenly a figure could be seen coming out of the arena. The powerful monster stood at about 5 meters in height. Its orange fur was decorated with white lines, powerful muscles could be seen with each step the creature took.

Two sharp fangs could be seen sticking out of the monster\'s mouth as it stared intensely at Reign and the others.

[ Lvl ???, Tier II, Voracious Sabertooth Tiger ]

"This, this is a joke … right?" Shadow gulped nervously as he looked over to Drayce who simply shook his head.

"No, it\'s not a joke, this is your opponent."

"What the hell, how-"

"The arena itself chooses the final opponent based on what you have shown till the final round, the opponent is always fair and at the very limits of what you can defeat," Drayce said with a stern look.

"There are no mistakes in the arena since it has given this opponent to you, then it is possible for you to defeat it." Drayce continued.

"Of course, that doesn\'t mean that your victory is certain, it is just possible for you to win, losing is still quite the possibility as well," Drayce said with a smile on his face before sitting down on the throne.

The sabertooth tiger was slowly moving closer to Reign and the others. It could feel the auras that the beings in front of it had, all weaker than itself.

It didn\'t know exactly why it was here, but it had a strong urge to fight and kill the small creatures around it. The thousands of monsters that formed the crowd inside the arena were seemingly invisible to the tiger as it completely ignored them, their cheers and shouts simply passing by it.

The tiger didn\'t attack Reign and the others yet. Even though it could sense that the creatures in front of it were weaker, it didn\'t want to get injured by recklessly charging at them.

As for Reign and the others, they were currently experiencing a great deal of pressure. The giant tiger was after all a Tier II monster and its power was above anything they had gone up against except for maybe Pentos who was able to reach the Tier briefly thanks to his forbidden technique.

"Don\'t worry so much, it\'s amongst the weakest Tier II creatures you could ever fight, just give it a go," Drayce said as he smiled at them from above. Reign and the others scoffed at his words, it didn\'t matter if it was amongst the weakest of its tier, it was still a Tier II creature while they were Tier I, and they weren\'t even at the peak of Tier I yet.

The tiger suddenly stopped moving, it seemingly sat down and stared at Reign and the others with great interest as they stared back at it.

"Get ready, it\'s about to attack," Wolf said as flames appeared on his sword.

The appearance of his flames made the tiger\'s eyes widen a bit as it stared straight at it. Right after the fire came lightning and frost while the others all prepared themselves as well.

The tiger was seemingly intrigued by the display as it simply continued watching them. But after about 5 seconds, it pounced.

The ground caved in a bit and tens of bones were smashed apart as the tiger\'s giant frame zoomed at Reign and the others, its speed was incredible and the angels were barely able to see it.

Reign and the others all dodged the attack before responding by sending a couple of long-range attacks themselves.

The tiger took no chances and dodged the attacks before running around them. It was obvious that it was taking the fight seriously.

One wrong move and the tiger would pounce on them again, ready to kill whoever was in front of it.

"This is going to be tough," Shadow said as he held his two daggers. The others nodded slightly as they observed the tiger, ready to respond to his attacks.
