333 This doesn't look like sect's building

Vaner stopped only when he finally reached the outskirts of the lands of the sect that he spent the majority of his life at. 

"It still stands," he muttered when he noticed the characteristic outline of the natural formation that housed the skyladder sect. 

He was still too far away to see any details of the place, even with his insane eyesight. 

'Still,' Vaner thought, bitting down on his lips. 'If thee rock formation still stands, the chances are, someone survived the culling,' he thought as he hurried up and picked up the pace. 

At this point, there was no reason to run. 

If the monsters managed to reach the sect and penetrate its natural defenses, then it would be already all over. 

'If they were still fighting, I could tell, even from a distance,' Vaner thought, slowly progressing forward. 

Step by step, second by second.
