Is this really a Game?!

Boom!

"Come on, hurry up!" Reign shouted to the others as he glanced back at them before jumping straight down at a monster that was chasing after them.

"Greenie!"

Greenie fell down from a block and slammed down with his hammer at the monster that had its eyes set on Reign. The hammer hit and the monster was pushed a bit down, its huge figure still standing straight, however.

"Just a little more, just a bit more and we'll be beyond its reach," Wolf said to the others as he suddenly jumped up and sent multiple 3-meter-long spears of flame at the monster.

"God damn it, why is it so persistent?!" Reign cursed as he used his top speed to reach the head of the monster before slashing at it a couple of times. His goal was to injure the monster's eyes, but he only managed to hit its mouth before the monster opened its giant jaw and tried to swallow him.

"Bastard!" Reign cursed as a demonic whip wrapped around him before pulling him back. Laura had used her skill multiple times now, she barely had any time to even attack the enemy as she was busy helping Reign and the others out with evading attacks in the air.

"Alright, Reign, get your asses over here!" Wolf shouted as he started bombarding the enemy with his fire spears and fireballs.

"Alright!" Reign shouted as he first let Greenie and Laura get back. Shadow was currently below the enemy's head and was attacking it, his attacks only lasted for a brief period of time before he was forced to teleport and not get crushed by the monster.

Multiple explosions suddenly took place on the head of the enemy as Beast bombarded it with his explosive arrows, Mia as well as helping out, was sending huge icicles toward the enemy, each of them being over 2 meters long.

Reign and Shadow continued fighting against the enemy for a short period of time before Laura and Greenie called them over. They had reached a safe location and it was their time to get out of there.

With the two of them being the fastest two in the team, it didn't take them long to get away from the monster that continued pursuing them. Right as Reign and Shadow reached the platform where Wolf and the others were currently on, the monster stopped, it was as if something was holding it back, forcing it to stop dead in its tracks.

The giant head of the enemy was mere meters away from Reign, its huge tongue only being half a meter from Reign.

Reign slashed at the tongue and the monster hissed angrily as it tried to attack Reign, but was unable to get closer to him.

"You're one big ugly bastard, luckily you're unable to continue moving, otherwise it would have been really dangerous for us." Reign said as he looked down at the monster.

The head alone was 5 meters high and 7 meters wide. Its cold eyes stared at Reign as its forked tongue flickered in front of him. The monster was a giant snake, it was many times stronger than Reign and the others and at the bare minimum, it was a high-level Tier II monster, perhaps even a Tier III one.

Reign and the others came across it on a huge platform that was some 120 meters high in the air, the platform itself had a diameter of 500 meters and took up a large portion of the area. They first didn't even realize that there was a giant snake on the platform, its body was coiled and it looked like a weird hill, it was only thanks to Beast who was able to sense it that they realized what the hill actually was.

The monstrosity that was in front of them made their blood freeze as they panicked for a moment, only to realize that the monster was sleeping and hasn't still discovered them.

They slowly made their way up, moving carefully so as to not wake the monster up. They could see that the snake's tail was bound to the platform from above, multiple spikes penetrated the last 3 meters of its body and presumably made sure that it wouldn't be able to get away.

They were about halfway to where they were now when a part of the platform they got on broke off and fell down. Seeing that the broken part was falling straight down at the snake, Reign and the others hastily started climbing up, wanting to get away as soon as possible.

They calculated that the monster was about 60 meters long, and they knew that they had to quickly get up as they were aware that defeating such a powerful enemy was impossible for the current them.

They were able to get a full 45 meters up before the snake moved, its body moved with incredible speed as it rose in the air, coiling around a couple of platforms and using them as leverage to move even higher.

Thanks to the snake coiling around 3 platforms on its way up, they didn't need to be 60 meters away from it, just about 50.

Reign and the others could see that it would be impossible to reach the area before the snake came and as such, they decided to fight in order to get its focus away from the others and let them reach safety first.

The plan succeeded and they were now staring down at the giant monster that slowly started moving down, seemingly disappointed that it failed to kill them.

"Well, that takes care of us thinking whether monsters are present here, I guess the time limit might also not be present as I doubt the two teams that came here before us could defeat anything close to this monster's level of power." Reign said as the others all nodded in agreement.

They continued up, the area becoming slightly wider with each meter they crossed.

Soon, larger platforms started appearing, some being almost 1km in diameter. Monsters started appearing more frequently, some being humanoid while others being oversized animals.

None of the monsters were Tier II and Reign and the others were able to defeat them without much trouble. The strongest monster they faced so far was level 90 but was a normal monster that any of them could kill by themselves.

Food was now not a problem, they could eat plenty from the meat of the monsters, and fruits and berries could be found on the platforms as well, but they didn't take them as they didn't know whether any were poisonous or not.

Meals were more frequent and soon, more than 10 hours had passed since they entered the final floor. They didn't know how much more was left for them to climb, but they were still unable to see the ceiling, just a bright light.

The other two teams were also not found during this time, there were no corpses that they found, although it was possible that the monsters ate them after killing them, for some reason, Reign and the others doubted that that was the case.

They had already done a lot today and were quite tired, Reign and the others decided to rest and sleep a bit on one of the platforms. There were no more monsters present here as they had killed them all, they didn't know whether more would suddenly show up so Beast summoned his tamed beasts to keep guard and alert them if an enemy showed up.

Fluffy was the one monster that didn't have that job as Reign and the others used him as a pillow. The bear was now a full 7 meters long and its fur was very soft until it entered fight mode when it would become as hard as steel.

The plan was to get a couple of hours of sleep before continuing up. They weren't very worried that one of the two teams would be able to reach the top before them as the monsters they came across were becoming stronger and stronger as they rose up the floor.

They doubted that the other two teams would be able to face tens of level 90+ monsters that would surely be present on the higher platforms. They decided to trust Drayce's words this time and took a well-deserved rest.

Hours passed and soon the team woke up. There had been no enemies that showed up during their sleep and the beasts had nothing to do during this time, most were lying on the ground, but they were still ready to pounce on anything that would come close to them.

As Reign and the others woke up, they ate and started climbing again. There was no time to waste now, with them being rested, they could continue climbing up for 2 days before needing rest again.

They were planning on finishing this damned hidden task before that time passed, however. They would ignore the other two teams that were present here, but if they dared to attack them, they would eliminate them as well.
