The whale monster had also broken all confines and came out of the portal! It was preparing to release a wide area attack since all of its hundred eyes glowed but right before that… Everyone present saw a giant abyssal dark blue whirlpool on top of it!
"What's that?!"
Half a second later, A giant hammer came out of that whirlpool before hitting the whale monster!
*BOOOM!*
The whale monster couldn't even cry properly before it was smacked down on the ground!
Cracks appeared on the whale's body as blood ruptured out like a fountain.
*Ongggggggggggg!*
The whale released its strange sound again before both of its giant fins flapped slightly, sending powerful shock waves everywhere!
"Tsk, it didn't die," Sierra said as she clicked her tongue.
Arkhen wryly smiled as he saw the whale monster's HP reducing by over 87%.
"Your attack was powerful. But this whale monster has just too much HP," Arkhen said as he checked the whale monster's stats.
"I mean, this was still not my most powerful attack," Sierra said with a grin. "I used that EX+ rank skill by buffing it with my other powers, but it doesn't scale with my bodily stats like my Bloody Abyssal Spear. I am sure that whale would have died if I hit it with my buffed Bloody Abyssal Spear."
"Well yeah. If you had slapped it purely using your physical power with simple energy empowerment added to the slap, that whale would have died," Arkhen said with a wry smile.
…
Nobody had to worry anymore after the whale monster was smacked down on the ground. All people flew up and rained their attacks on it before it could prepare and killed it since it was only left with several percent of HP after Sierra's attack.
After the whale monster died, the passage to the 2nd floor unlocked, and everyone rushed towards it.
Arkhen and Sierra passed through the mystical energy membrane by holding their hands and arrived on the 2nd floor.
However, unlike in the tier-3 labyrinth where only Arkhen's group appeared in a single separate section of the 2nd floor, things were different in this tier-7 labyrinth.
Arkhen and Sierra actually arrived in a very creepy place!
It was a night sky with a blood moon, and the ground had bloody vein-like patterns!
Moreover, they were not alone as some other people also appeared several meters away from them and many more in the distance.
Arkhen and Sierra felt a slight itch on the back of their palms as a tattoo of a bronze chest appeared there.
"What's this?" Sierra asked curiously.
"This is the main reward function of the labyrinths. Basically, we have to feed beast cores and other resources to our chests and upgrade them throughout the labyrinth before opening them at the end.
"We will also get separate treasure chests on the way with rewards," Arkhen replied while looking around.
"I see…"
*Dhrrrr!*
Suddenly, the ground trembled before cracks appeared on it.
A creepy bloody aura oozed out of the cracks before mists consisting of dark blood particles appeared out of the cracks and formed into ugly monsters standing on two legs.
Ten monsters appeared around Arkhen and Sierra while similar monsters also appeared around other groups of people.
Faraway, they also saw a thousand meters tall bloody trees coming out of the ground.
Everyone instantly knew that the tree was something important for this floor. But first, they had to kill these creepy ugly two meters monsters with large fangs, four eyes, long sharp nails, and four arms.
Arkhen instantly created a square force field and expanded it to push the ten monsters several meters away.

Arkhen wanted to learn the new Combat Art he got after completing the Emergency quest, but he didn't get the time. He was going to do it after breaking through, but then this tier-7 labyrinth popped out, and he couldn't miss it.
"Five yours, five mines," Sierra said with battle-hungry eyes as she created her Deep Blue Domain before dashing towards a monster and finishing it with a punch.
Arkhen cracked his neck and decided to get physical as well as dashed forward before coating his fist in pure chi energy.
*Bam!*
A punch blasted a Sanguine Servant into pieces before Arkhen dashed towards another who opened its mouth as a laser shot towards Arkhen.
Arkhen narrowly dodged it before punching it into pieces as well.
In just a few seconds, Arkhen and Sierra killed all ten monsters before they directly flew toward the giant tree!
The other people with the large groups also killed the Sanguine Servants surrounding them before flying towards the giant tree.
When they arrived there, they saw ten giant vines extending from branches in the tree to the ground.
At first, they didn't understand, but the moment they entered the tree's range, a heavy pressure descended upon them before they fell to the ground like a rocket!
Even Arkhen and Sierra were smacked on the ground.
"Uhh… What the hell?" Arkhen shook his head after standing up as the heavy pressure suddenly disappeared.
Sierra also stood up and tried to fly up a bit to check something. Just when her feet flew up several centimeters off the ground, her face changed as she felt the pressure again. "We can't fly," she said.
"I guess we have to climb up through these vines," Arkhen said as he walked towards the nearby big vine and touched it.
The moment he touched it, the vine glowed but did nothing to him except for a brief surprise. "Well, whatever. Let's climb because there is something up ahead in the middle of this giant thousand meters big tree," said Arkhen as he and Sierra climbed up side by side since the vine was also five meters wide and thick.
All ten vines were occupied quickly as each group started climbing.
A group of four and some other groups also arrived later and saw people climbing the tree. However, when they touched the vine that was already being used to climb up by others, they were shot back forcefully!
"What?! Why can't we climb?"
"Fuck!"
"There should be a way. Tier-7 and other labyrinths are intensely competitive. I think we should attack those climbing and make them fall before occupying the vine ourselves."
"Target those two! They are only two in the group. We should be able to kill them."
Arkhen and Sierra looked around and saw people hurling attacks at them.
"Fuckers…" Arkhen muttered.
Sierra had a defensive skill as several rectangular golden shields appeared and blocked the incoming attacks.
"Stop attacking us, or you will die," Sierra said as she released a cold snort.
"Shut up, bitch! We are here to get rewards!"
Someone shouted and hurled another projectile attack made of a crystallized dark green arrow toward Sierra.
Sierra's face turned icy as she grabbed the incoming crystallized dark green arrow and shattered it by squeezing it!
Her body stats were over 1.5k each!! Even if she stood there all day, nothing here would hurt her.
"Arkhen, you go ahead. I am going to clean the people below. They won't stop otherwise," Sierra said as she let go of the vine and fell down.
"Hahaha! Then I'll be waiting at the top,"
