Reign, Shadow, and the general sat down in one of the cars while the others were in different cars that were following right behind the one in which Reign was. They all followed a straight line as they made their way out of the large city that was much bigger than Doncaster, and yet was somehow located below the ground, covering an area that was larger than Pripyat.

"General, do the monsters ever come to the city?" Reign asked General Niel who nodded his head.

"We have suffered quite a bit at the beginning of the game thanks to them, we had to look out for both monsters and humans alike, when in hard times, humans can become even worse than monsters." The general said as a disgusted expression appeared on his face, forcing him to open the window and spit.

"At least with monsters we know that they just want to kill and eat us, people are different, there are those that would sell out even their own mother just to advance in life, I've seen people killing their own siblings and throwing them behind them in order to try and slow down monsters that were chasing them."

"Say whatever you want about monsters, but I've yet to see even one sacrifice one of their own in order to give themselves a better chance to survive, not even once." The general said as Reign and Shadow nodded at him.

They knew how dark people could be, and what kind of evil thoughts could be found in some of them. Even though Doncaster was peaceful and people were incredibly close thanks to all the things that had happened, at the beginning of the game, there were those that didn't hesitate to throw the people closest to them to monsters in order to survive.

Even when they took over the underground city, there had been multiple instances where Reign and the rest had to pass on judgment to those that tried killing other teams outside in order to get their items, as well as those that tried to harm others inside the confines of the city.

The strangers coming in Doncaster later on weren't used to how things ran and there were multiple people that tried to use force to get their way, only to be beaten up by the other groups from Doncaster.

In such a huge city where over 300 000 people lived, Reign and the others could only imagine the chaos that took place when the game started, not to mention what might have occurred in the larger cities.

Thanks to the low traffic, it only took them about 20 minutes to get out of the city and make their way through a large tunnel that was located in front of them. The underground city was lit up, but not by a myriad of crystals that were on the ceiling, like in the underground city of Doncaster, but by one large crystal that looked like the sun in the sky.

Reign and the others looked around them as they entered the tunnel. It was as large as the one they had entered from Pripyat, the concrete walls, however, were damaged in some places.

"From the fights, we had to use weapons in the beginning, which made me believe that one day, we might accidentally cause one of the tunnels to be destroyed, luckily the walls are reinforced with mana, allowing them to withstand a lot of punishment," Niel said as Reign and Shadow glanced around, using mana to verify what the general had told them, only to find out that what he said was an understatement.

Not only were the walls reinforced by mana, but even the ground behind it was reinforced. Reign could only imagine how much power it took to reinforce such a large structure, not to mention that there were more tunnels present as well.

During their trip, they had been attacked a couple of times by monsters. Some were similar to the animalistic monsters that Reign and the others had seen in Pripyat and the tunnels beneath it, while others looked similar to humans, just like the ones that had arrived on the surface.

The strongest amongst them were merely Tier III, while lots were Tier I and Tier II, which allowed Reign and the others to destroy them in a blink of an eye, not slowing down their trip in the slightest.

The general was astonished when he saw how quickly Shadow bolted out of the moving vehicle in order to arrive in front of the humanoid Tier III monsters and decimate them in an instant before arriving back.

He didn't even break a sweat, while the general's strongest men would have to fight a long and dangerous battle to defeat the same monsters. This only reinforced his belief in the voice, it had told him to trust Reign and the others, and he had done so.

He was now fully aware that what Reign had previously told him over the drone was the truth. Even without their weapons, Reign and the others were powerful enough to kill them all if they so wished.

Shadow alone would be enough to kill all the higher-ups without them being able to do a thing thanks to his incredible speed. Their tanks would be useless against such small and nimble targets, not to mention that Greenie and Tank alone were able to lift a whole tank with barely any effort, which showed just how powerful they were.

It wasn't only Shadow that moved, but the rest as well. Reign, Tank, and Greenie were the only ones that did nothing. Tank and Greenie were too big and the car would have to stop in order for them to go out and deal with the monsters while Reign simply didn't have a chance to do a thing thanks to how enthusiastic Shadow was to eliminate the monsters.

He only acted once later. Shadow had gone out and was killing a bunch of monsters while a smaller group appeared from the opposite side, charging at the car. The general wasn't afraid when seeing them, but excited as this meant that Reign would move for the first time.

The voice had asked specifically for Reign, which meant that there was something special about him, and the general wanted to see just how strong he was.

He was in for a bit of a disappointment, however, as Reign simply made five lightning bullets that he used to kill the five enemies, frying their brains from the inside and killing them instantly.

Shadow could do the same, as well as the others who had actually not come out of the cars even once. He was merely a bit too excited to find out just what the voice was, so he was using his full speed to kill the enemies as quickly as possible before coming back to the car.

Even though he was a bit disappointed, the general was also astonished when he saw how Reign killed the Tier IIIs. He had merely used one finger that he flicked five times in a split second to kill them.

After about half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.

A large cave in which a town could easily fit was in front of them, and just like the general had said, there was nothing there. Only soil and rocks were present, there were no crystals that shined to give them light, there were no monsters, no plants, nothing.

The cars stopped near the center of the cave, about 50 meters away from it as the general had told them to do so. He got out and started walking to the center before turning around.

"I'm sorry guys, but only Reign can come with me, the voice said so." Shadow and the others simply nodded as they could actually feel a sort of energy coming from the center and forming a dome about 45 meters around the center.

They didn't test it, but they were certain that it was there for them so that they wouldn't be able to get inside. All of them were a bit apprehensive of the situation, however.

What was the voice, was it a person, a monster, some sort of machine that disliked the system?

Why did it want Reign to come over here, and why did it suddenly transport the entire city here at the beginning of the game?

No matter how hard they thought about it, they simply had no answer for it. The only thing left for the was to hope for the best, that the voice was truly a friendly entity and wouldn't do anything harmful to Reign who was seemingly certain that it was friendly.

For some reason, the moment Reign arrived and stared at the center, he had felt a sort of familiarity with it. The energy coming out from the center was warm, and the moment he crossed the dome around the center, he was able to feel the energy basking him in its warmth.

The general arrived at the center and looked at Reign.

"Are you ready?" He asked while Reign nodded with determination.

The general then clenched the staff which suddenly enlarged a bit before plunging it at the center. A pillar of energy suddenly appeared for a moment, making everybody present shut their eyes for a moment before opening them.

As they stared ahead, they could see the large staff sticking out of the ground with the general right next to it, as for Reign, however, he was nowhere to be found.
