Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Level 1 (226)

Kai nearly lost his grip, nearly falling to the distant ground below as the titan lifted its leg.

The cold wind assaulted Kai, attacking his fingers, his eyes, his ears, any part of his body that would be sensitive.

Petunia and Cecilia both were in a much better situation as Cecilia was able to wrap her arms fully around the section of the leg they were at, she also had the young girl pressed against it so she didn't fall off.

Meanwhile, Kai was struggling. He felt the tips of his fingers slowly losing their grip, the wind trying to pull him away from the obsidian pillar he was climbing.

It wasn't looking good, especially since each leg movement took minutes to complete, and he was still only in the ascent phase, it would get even worse when the leg started moving downwards.

Kai closed his eyes, trying to only focus on his hands and feet. He sent even more Mana into them, boosting them a little more and making them tingle a little more in return.

But he didn't care. As long as he stayed clinging onto the leg of the titan then he would be happy.

He could faintly make out the sounds of Cecilia panicking above him. They were quiet, mostly because Kai was blocking out all external sources of noise.

But Kai held strong, he would not be letting go any time soon. A bit of wind? Pfft, he'd handled worse. An assault of snow? So what, he had-

Suddenly, a single one of his fingers lots its grip.

And that was all that was needed for him to lose his grip completetly.

Kai opened his eyes, looking up as he slowly began falling backwards.

And he really was slowly falling.

In fact, it was like all time had slowed.

Was his life... about to flash before his eyes?

Kai did not hold back from cursing this time, Petunia probably wouldn't have heard him anyway.

Seriously? He had fought a Demon that was blessed by a God, he had killed a Sword Saint that was like five times his level, he had done so much shit and endured so much harrowing pain just to get here, and yet...

He was about to die from falling off the leg of a titan that he decided to climb because it would get them to the base of a mountain quicker.

Is this what people meant when they said that greed got you killed? Kai didn't think he was greedy. He was petty, sure, but who wasn't?

Probably a lot of people, but Kai didn't care for the exact numbers.

Looking up, Kai saw Cecilia panicking. She had her hand extended towards him, trying to reach him, but she was much too far for that to be a possibility.

But Kai saw something strange. Something light blue started to extend from her hand, desparately racing down towards him.

What was it? He couldn't make it out, all he knew was there was no way it would reach him in time.

But then a Ruby blade appeared beside the thread, wrapping it around itself before diving downwards.

Esurient moved with incredible finesse, like they had been flying for millions of years and hadn't unlocked the ability only recently.

It was like the were in their natural habitat. Screw being a sword made for being in sword sights, Esurient should have been a bird!

Kai reached upwards just as his feet began to slowly peel away from the obsidian limb.
