163 Breaking the shell (10)

Aldrich braced his feet on the stone, letting the length of the rope run out between his loose grip as he descended with the pillar.

Pillar and monster fell, at that moment it seemed that time stopped. And a moment later an extremely violent crash and a pained scream echoed.

That put a smile on his face. But not for long, he did not dare to allow himself a moment of respite, not now. The precious time he bought by gambling with his life.

Aldrich used the rope and gravity to swing towards the nearby cage pillar, his feet slid from under him. He turned it into a roll, dropped onto the cage's iron bars and jumped down.

Finally his feet touched the ground. He looked at the seal of Tindalor, but he moved too far, he would waste too much time to get there and use to seal to escape.
