Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Climb time (225)

Somehow, through some sheer stroke of luck, the leg of the gargantuan horror did not land directly on top of them.

Instead, it landed a few meters to the right of the group.

The ground trembled violently, knocking Kai off Umbra's back, making him fall onto the soft snow below.

Kai groaned in pain as he tried to get up. He felt hands grabbing at him, trying to help him rise quicker.

But it was then that he realised that... They were in no danger.

The titan above them was not paying them any attention, in fact, it was a pure coincidence that its leg nearly landed on them.

The horror just kept walking forward, towards the Royal Peak.

Suddenly, Kai's eyes lit up as an idea formed in his mind.

If the titan was able to cover the distance they covered in five days in a few hours...

Lifting his head to look up at the gargantuan leg, Kai began to analyse it.

It was a dark black, like it was cut from obsidian. The legs were rough, like they really had been cut from something.

There were different sections of the leg. Some areas were as thick as tree trunks, while some were about as thick as a lamppost, some were so thick that he had no idea what to compare them to. Kai wasn't sure of the physics behind it, but the horror was somehow able to support its weight with those kinds of legs.

Each time the width of the leg cut inward, there would be a ledge created. There were some that looked like they would have enough room to sit on...

Kai grinned darkly.

Hissing in pain, Kai began jogging back the way they just came.

"Follow me!"

Completetly confused, but having no other option, the rest of the group started following behind him.

Remy climbed up his armour, clinging onto Kai's hair for some good grip.

Seemingly understanding what was about to happen, Umbra dived into Kai's shadow, taking her rightful place inside.

Esurient was the safest as they were able to fly.

Petunia and Cecilia followed close behind. They probably would have been able to go quicker if they knew what was going on, considering that both of them were at peak health, but they had to follow behind Kai in this scenario.

Kai cursed as they approached the second set of the horror's eight legs. By now, it was in the process of moving its second leg.

The titan had a set walking pattern, it would move its front right leg, then it's front left, then it would move onto the second row of its legs and start on the right again.

Each leg took minutes to move, meaning they should have enough time.

But the second set of legs had no ledges that were down low enough to take advantage of. Kai didn't want to have to climb too high to get a good spot as he was near certain his body wouldn't be able to handle climbing it.

However, when they approached the third set of legs...

Kai grinned.

There was a rather sizable ledge where the circumference of the horror's leg suddenly switched from extremely thick to pretty thin, a perfect location for someone to sit.

It was kind of high up, but it was only about half as high as the ledge on the previous legs. It would definitely take a lot ouf of Kai to climb it, but still...
