Is this really a Game?!

The tiger moved slowly around Reign and the others, allowing them to follow each and every step. They knew it matter little, however, as the tiger's speed was enough to reach them almost instantaneously.

They would be fine from such an attack, but the angels wouldn't. They weren't strong enough to go against such an opponent, simply surviving an attack was incredibly difficult to do.

"Tank, stay with the angels, we have to go on the offensive, otherwise I have a feeling that it will simply start picking us off one by one," Wolf said as Tank nodded before standing in front of the angels whilst staring at the tiger.

"The enemy is Tier II, there's a high chance that its stats are higher than any of ours, there's only one thing we can do in this situation," Wolf said as he held his sword.

"And that is?"

"Throw everything including the kitchen sink at it, and then just hope for the best," Wolf said with a calm expression on his face as Shadow looked at him with a deadpan expression on his face.

"Well, that's, reassuring."

"Well, we got no idea of what weakness it might have, nor do we know anything about any skills or abilities it might have, in short, we know nothing of the enemy except that it's Tier II," Wolf added as they all nodded in agreement.

Since Drayce had given them this challenge, they knew it was possible to finish it. They might not like the guy that much, mostly thanks to the hellish sparring session they had after the first trial, but they knew that he wouldn't give them an impossible task.

Hell, it was almost impossible for something like that to happen since the system would penalize him quite heavily, there was simply no incentive for Drayce to do anything like that.

As Reign and the others charged at the tiger, it did the same. Its figure was a blur as it passed next to Reign and the others and crashed against Tank's [ Abyss Shield ]. Even though the tiger simply crashed into it and didn't use any attacks, the shield still shook heavily from it.

The tiger raised a claw and brought it down on the shield, breaking it. Tank was still able to block the attack, albeit barely.

The incredible power that the tiger had shown made everybody understand that they would definitely not be able to do anything to it without going all out.

Their marks all glowed as they powered up, the tiger was stopped in its tracks as Reign appeared next to it and slashed with his two swords.

The feet of the tiger felt cold and as it looked down it could see that a layer of ice had appeared around them. Reign's attack managed to cut through the fur and draw blood.

The wound, however, was nothing to worry about, but that, coupled with the other attacks that landed on it, managed to make it angry.

The tiger suddenly used its tail and attacked Reign. The tail acted as a whip as it came at Reign with breakneck speed. Reign quickly ducked, but it wasn't enough as the sheer force of the attack made a fierce wind blow and blast Reign back.

"The hell?!" Reign shouted as he stabilized himself. The attack the tiger just used seemed to be a normal swipe of the tail, but it was actually some sort of skill.

"There was barely any mana that I felt during the attack, it wasn't as if it used a small amount, but it was controlled almost perfectly, tch, Tier II monsters really are tough." Reign said as he charged at the tiger once more.

The difference between Tier I and Tier II wasn't just stats, the control one had over mana rose with each Tier and it was hard for lower-tiered beings to notice the mana of higher-tiered ones.

Each attack of the tiger seemed like a normal one, it seemed like only the truly powerful skills would be easy to notice as even Reign who had great mana sensitivity was barely able to pick up when the monster was channeling mana for a skill.

Its tough fur was hard to cut and even with skills, they were barely able to deal damage to the monster.

The tiger was angered, it couldn't believe that the small creatures that were far weaker than it was actually dared to attack. Not only did they attack, but they also managed to inflict injuries on it.

Its fur was cut or ripped apart in some places and blood could be seen staining it. Even though those injuries barely mattered to the tiger that would completely heal in less than a day, they were humiliating, To be wounded by its enemies that were much weaker was simply too infuriating.

Suddenly a huge amount of mana was released from the tiger. It seemed that it was barely even trying to control the mana as everybody was able to feel an intense pressure coming from it.

The angels had the hardest time, only Mia and the other 3 were fighting while the rest were being shielded by Tank who didn't have it easy until now.

They could barely move as the tiger unleashed the mana, their bodies started shaking, not just from the mana, but from fear. It was fear that one would get when face to face with a natural predator and knew they had no chance to survive.

The tiger suddenly moved, its body passing Reign and the others as they didn't expect that action right after it unleashed so much mana, they thought it would start attacking them with powerful skills, not flee.

Before Tank could do anything, the tiger passed him and the angels, appearing at the other end of the arena.

As the monster turned, the angels were horrified at what they saw.

One of them was caught, the torso and head dangling from the mouth. The girl that was caught had no power left to even speak, she could only helplessly stare at her comrades as the tiger lifted his head.

The body of the girl disappeared in its mouth as it suddenly closed it, blood flew from the gaps of its teeth and stained the floor of the arena as the sound of bones breaking could be heard from inside the mouth.

"Ely!" One of the angels shouted in disbelief as the others all stared in shock. They had seen their fair share of deaths, but they had never had one of their own die in front of them.

"Calm down, she's still alive, death is not real during this challenge!" Tank roared as the angels all nodded at him.

"You damned beast!" A loud shout reverberated through the arena as Mia suddenly flew at the tiger. Her mana had exploded out and the temperature around her started to drop quickly.

The mark on her back suddenly started shining even brighter as wings of ice appeared on her back. On her left shoulder, however, another mark started shining.

"Two marks?!" Reign and the others stared at Mia with incredulous looks on their faces.

"Oh, this girl, she actually gained their attention?" Aethion suddenly spoke.

"What?"

"Twins, there are two gods in the universe that are famous for having the same ability and power, they're twins and they can both give their marks to the same person, they have quite some fame in the universe because of that," Aethion spoke as Mia stood in the air above the tiger.

"Hey, we don't have the luxury to simply stare, let's go!" Wolf shouted as he charged at the tiger. He extinguished his flames as he didn't want his flames and Mia's ice to clash during the battle.

Since Mia had gone all out, he was going to let her have the first attack, only after would he attack with his violet flames.

As they ran toward the tiger, an ethereal armor of ice appeared around Mia while the wings of ice stood straight, allowing her to levitate in the air without them moving.

Her mana right now was above even Wolf's and neared Reign's level. She raised one arm in the air while the other was aimed at the tiger.

[ Ice Prison ]

[ Judgment of the Ice King ]

Four ice walls suddenly rose around the tiger that stared at Mia apprehensively. The tiger jumped up in an attempt to escape from the prison that had been formed, only to be pushed back to the ground as a ceiling appeared as well.

The tiger started rampaging inside the prison, the walls shook heavily, and cracks appeared, but Mia channeled more mana to avoid letting the tiger escape. As for her second skill, a huge spear made of ice appeared above her.

The spear was about 9 meters long and weird symbols could be seen on it. Mia stared coldly at the tiger before lowering her arm and sending the spear flying at the ceiling of the prison that suddenly had a hole in its center. The hole was made by Mia of course.

The spear entered the prison and suddenly a loud explosion of ice shook the whole arena.
