Chapter 801 Visiting a New Area

Chapter 801 Visiting a New Area

"Even though the barriers had disappeared, the monsters still show no signs of leaving that area, which is surprising considering how the other monsters all started going to other areas," Mia said as Reign nodded his head.

"It's the same thing with the area we found, none of the Tier V monsters have gone anywhere."

"You did say you found an area with Tier V monsters before, and that it's still too dangerous, can you tell us why?" Mia asked Reign who nodded his head.

"It's a desert, during the day, no monsters are present and one can walk on it without any issues, but at night, all of the Tier V monsters rise from the sand and start killing each other, the number of the monsters is simply too high, even if there were more of us, I doubt we would be able to last long in there, it's simply not a viable hunting spot right now, only later on when we reach the high grade or peak of Tier V."

"I see, that does seem to be quite a dangerous area, the one we found is not like that, the monsters are spread out and it should be fine for leveling up."

"That's good, because we have found some areas with Tier V monsters, but there is a small number of them present, we managed to reach the mid-grade of Tier V, but raising our levels higher is not possible without a different area," Shadow said with a sigh from the side as he shook his head slightly.

"We can make our way to that area tomorrow and investigate it, if the monsters are truly Tier V, then that will probably become the main area for hunting in the future."

After a few hours of discussions, the meeting concluded with a plan for intelligence gathering, scouting missions, and coordinated responses to external threats. They also decided to explore potential opportunities to gain additional territories, resources, and strategic advantages.

As the representatives from the various teams departed, Mia and the Ice Angels approached Reign with gratitude in their eyes. Mia spoke up, her voice filled with appreciation. "Thank you for your support and for providing a safe place for us. We're in your debt."

Reign smiled at Mia and nodded his head. "We're allies now, there's no need to mention debts. We're here to support each other, and your group has strengthened our position as well. If we face any challenges in the future, we'll face them together."

Mia nodded in sighed in relief. She had initially been wary of forming alliances, but she now realized the significance of working together with other powerful players. Together, they had a better chance of shaping the future of the changed world.

At first, she only wanted to ally with Reign and his team, she didn't plan on relocating her people or anything similar, but with how things progressed, she decided that it was the best thing to do.

Without Reign and the others, she and her entire team would have died, and one could only imagine what would have happened to the people of her territory after that. Even without the enemies attacking them, there was a very small number of players amongst the 2000 people, without the angels, they would have a difficult time getting food and other supplies and in a week or so, many of them would probably die.

Meanwhile, inside Reign's consciousness, Aethion had extracted a substantial amount of information from Liona's tormented soul. Her resistance had crumbled, and she had divulged critical details about her former allies, their plans, and their hidden resources. Aethion took a break from the relentless "interrogation," giving Liona a brief respite from her suffering.

Liona's soul lay on the bed of soul energy, her essence visibly drained and her consciousness in tatters. Aethion examined the extracted information and shared it with Reign through their unique connection. He was able to project the details directly into Reign's mind.

Reign's eyes narrowed as he absorbed the information. It was a wealth of knowledge that would undoubtedly be useful in the future. He was grateful for Aethion's relentless pursuit of information, even though the methods used were harsh.

Unfortunately, even though Liona knew some stuff about the groups, she didn't know where the Blood Angels and the Dark Scythes were located, it seemed as if the enemies didn't have a territory they called their own, which Reign highly doubted.

As they never planned on truly working with Liona, which was evident from how they had immediately betrayed her, they probably only showed her some random areas they didn't mind being known by others.

As night fell, the only thing on the minds of Reign and the others was the new area that they were going to visit tomorrow. After one reaches Tier V, leveling up becomes more and more difficult, not only because of the exp needed but because the monsters become more powerful as well, leading to a slower pace of hunting.

In the past, Reign and the others were able to go against numerous normal monsters that were of the same tier and win without using too much power, but now, with each Tier V monster being a powerful enemy by themselves, they had to slow down as they could deal with 2 or 3 of them each, and even that was very difficult.

The higher the Tier, the more power the being would possess. There were no longer any goblins and the like, monsters of low intellect that could only charge forward and hope to kill the enemy. Each monster they faced was smart and powerful, in order to reach their current strength, the monsters had killed an incredible amount of enemies, just like Reign and the others.

There were of course still plenty of monsters that were beasts that acted on instinct, but those instincts were honed and allowed the monsters to fight incredibly well. There were also monsters that were very sneaky and knew when to attack and retreat, causing them to fight carefully, and there were some that were more powerful than the other monsters of the same level, either variants of elites, that were a match for Reign and the others if fought 1 on 1 at times.

The disparity between Reign's team and monsters was no longer the same as it was before. In the past, they were obviously much more powerful than monsters, but now, without going all out and fighting with everything they had, it was a difficult task to defeat such monsters without getting tired and suffering some injuries.

As morning arrived, they all got ready and met with the angels in the town square. After making sure everything was fine, they went through the portal before leaving Wilkashere and making their way to the area in order to see just how powerful the monsters there were.nove.lB-1n

The journey to the area with the suspected Tier V monsters was a mixture of anticipation and caution. The team led by Reign and the group of Ice Angels approached the region, the landscape shifting from the vibrant cityscape to the outskirts where the terrain turned arid and harsh.

As they ventured deeper into the wilderness and passed the previous territory that the angels had controlled, they all couldn't help but tense up a bit. The atmosphere grew tense as they neared the area known to be inhabited by the powerful monsters.

Reign's group moved in formation, keeping an eye on their surroundings. The angels were visibly anxious, having already been to the area in the past. They knew that a wrong move could lead to a deadly confrontation.

As they entered the area, what seemed like a prehistoric jungle appeared in front of their eyes. They were currently standing atop a tall hill and stared down at the jungle that had trees taller than 100 meters.

They could see how the trees would occasionally shake as if being shoved by a large and powerful monster. There were flying monsters present as well, and those were what Reign used in order to try and see what level the monsters in the area were.

Upon using his [ Inspect ] skill, he sighed in relief as he was able to confirm that the 4 flying monsters that were close to them were all Tier V monsters.

He glanced back and nodded at Mia and the rest who sighed as well. Of course, they were still not finished. There was a chance that this area could be much larger than they anticipated and offered much more, like the mountain range that Reign and the others had used as hunting grounds for a long time.

What they suspected was an area that had maybe Tier I and Tier II monsters turned out to be a huge area that had monsters that were Tier IV in its depths, which was much more than they anticipated.

If this area had Tier VI monsters as well, then they needed to be careful and only hunt where Tier V monsters were located, lest they end up dying.
