Chapter 971: Shattered Hope

With the rope being inclined downward, Krune did not hasten his travel at all, proceeding at a slow pace. The rope had a length of 50 meters he had to traverse. Even though the distance between the walls and the rock pillar was 40 meters, since the rope was declined, he had to travel a longer distance. 

It took him more than ten minutes before he managed to land in the cave, patting the bone tree the rope was coiled around. As the bone tree had a near smooth surface, he was assured the rope wouldn't be damaged by wear and tear every time he used it to cross. 

He then exited the cave and traversed across the walls, using its slope to his advantage as he climbed faster. It wasn't a vertical wall but had a small slope. Because of that, his time was a lot easier as he could simply rely on the extraordinary grip his Monster Gecko skin armor provided, quickly scaling up the place.
