Is this really a Game?!

"Treants, these guys are Treants?!" Shadow asked as he and the others stared at the monsters that were about 200 meters away from them.

"We sure they're friendly, Reign and Shadow did almost get killed by one a long time ago." Tank said with concern as he looked at the monsters.

The Treants were huge, compared to the one they had faced a long time ago in the black forest, these ones were all more than 10 meters tall. Their long branches shook with each step they made while their green eyes looked around, almost as if observing things.

"We don't know, they might be the same as the one before, but not necessarily, we should at least try to talk with them." Reign said before getting up.

"It's not like these guys can really do anything to us anyway." Reign shrugged his shoulders before moving toward the Treants.

Wolf and the others glanced at each other before following him. He was right, even if the Treants were hostile, the ones in front of them were level 80, and they were not nearly powerful enough to hurt them.

As Reign and the others walked toward the five Treants in front of them, they at first didn't respond at all. They merely continued walking around without any purpose, but as Reign and the others came about 20 meters in front of them, the Treants finally responded.

They slowly turned to the side and stared at Reign and the others. The sight of 5 huge Treants staring down at them wasn't quite a pleasant one, but Reign and the others simply walked closer to them.

There was no fear in their eyes, nor any hesitation in their step. As they finally came to about 5 meters from the Treants, they stopped and looked up at the giant monsters.

The Treants did, well, they didn't do anything. They simply stared at Reign and the others in confusion before seemingly glancing at each other and continuing their walk.

Reign and the others were at first confused before growing a smile on each of their faces. The Treants not attacking them meant that they were after all friendly.

Of course, some might not be, monsters were after all weird creatures.

Reign and the others stared at the backs of the Treants before walking deeper inside their territory.

From what they knew, there should be no hostile monsters here as the Treants would definitely destroy them the moment they arrived.

That was true for all 6 locations, not just this one.

The 6 locations were the territories of Tier II monsters which were the absolute strongest on the mountain. No monster dared go against them, or get inside their territory as doing that would mean challenging the authority of the monsters, which would definitely not pass by unanswered.

The closer to the base of the Treants Reign and the others came, the more Treants they were able to see.

The giant monsters were more powerful compared to others on the same level,  but they were slow and other monsters could use that weakness to run circles around them whilst attacking.

They were similar to the behemoth class of monsters. Their size was both an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time.

Finally, Reign and the others arrived at the place where they believed the Tier II monster should be in.

The location was similar to the rest of the territory, except for one thing, the size of the trees and other plants.

They were almost double compared to before and the Treants that Reign and the others were able to see from a distance were also larger. Compared to the other monsters, the Treants didn't have the same numbers.

They were fewer in number, but each Treant was a monster that could fight against multiple monsters of the same level, which would more than even out the playing field.

Reign and the others went deeper inside the forest and the Treants did nothing but observe them. The Treants were quite sensitive to mana and could sense that Reign and the others were all very powerful.

They had not come across humans on the mountain previously and were actually quite curious about them.

Compared to the Treants that lived in the black forest, well, the handful of them there, these ones were much more peaceful and preferred staying in their territory most of the time. Even though Reign and the others had been active on the mountain for over a month now, they had actually never come across any of them.

Finally, Reign and the others came to the center of the forest and came face to face with the Tier II monster, a 20-meter-tall Treant that was peacefully sitting on the ground.

Seeing a Treant sit was actually a novelty for Reign and the others. They had always seen Treants moving around and they actually never considered that they might get tired and would occasionally sit down to rest.

The mana that Reign could sense coming out of the giant Treant made him wary of it, compared to the Tier II tiger they had come across, this one was much stronger. Comparing the two was almost useless as Reign was certain that the giant Treant could simply grab the tiger before ripping him apart with his bare hands.

If they were to fight the Treant right now, almost surrounded by 10 Treants that were each above level 90, they would definitely lose, hell, it wouldn't even be a fight as they would need to flee right away.

Suddenly the ground shook a bit as the giant Treant moved a bit before opening his eyes. The green eyes glowed brightly as they stared at Reign and the others before they softened up a bit.

"Humans, how nice it is to see you in this world." An old, archaic voice suddenly echoed through the forest as the mouth of the giant, old Treant opened.

"You can actually talk?!" Shadow asked in surprise as he stared at the Treant.

"Hahahahah, yes little one, I can talk." The Treant said as he nodded with his head, sending a flurry of leaves falling down on the ground.

"Hello, we have come in peace, we would like to discuss forming an alliance with you." Wolf suddenly said as he bowed slightly to the old Treant. Simply looking at the giant monster made him believe that this one might not be a simple Tier II monster at all.

"Alliance, hmmm, why do you wish to form an alliance?" The Treant suddenly asked as Wolf glanced back at Reign.

"We, we need to take over the mountain, well, we need to defeat the other five Tier II monsters that live here, we would like to get your help with doing that." Reign said as he stared at the Treant.

"Ah, fighting, killing, it seems that no matter where I go, it is always the same with everybody." The old Treant said as he shook his head.

"Tell me little one, why do you wish to kill those five, is it simply because you itch to fight, to test yourselves, or is it the system that is making you do so?"

"It, it is the latter one."

"Then it seems you have no choice." The Treant said.

"I do not mind becoming friends with you, human, but we will not fight, I and my brethren have decided that we shall never fight again if our hand isn't forced."

"We have grown tired of it, constantly fighting, waging wars, and destroying others, it is not a life worth living." The old Treant said before he lifted one of his giant arms in front of his face.

"Cherishing life, looking at the beauty of things, that is much more worthy of our time, all of our time." The Treant said as he looked at a couple of birds that had flown over to his hand.

His eyes softened up even more as he stared at the small, delicate beings that were resting on his arm.

"I am sorry that you had to travel all the way here for nothing, you are welcome to stay and rest, you are also welcome to visit us at any time, we will welcome you with open arms, as we will for all those that belong to your race, but fighting, I am afraid that we cannot help you with that."

"It is regretful then, we need to go, but we will definitely come back to visit again." Wolf suddenly said as he glanced at Tank and Shadow who were about to speak out.

"Oh, well, of course, it can get a bit lonely here, do visit again." The old Treant said before focusing again on the birds that were on his hand.

Wolf turned around and started walking while motioning for Reign and the others to do the same. For some reason, his steps were a bit faster compared to before, and his face was a bit anxious.
