After watching the situation on the Shattered Coast for a long time, the red dragon Carador finally withdrew his gaze. Then he raised his head, spread his enormous dragon wings high, and took off from the small floating island, flying toward a massive airborne island above the nearshore waters south of the town—one large enough to support an entire town.

As the southeastern coast had suffered the worst impact, the changes here were particularly astonishing—the shattered coastline and the collapsed, vanished cliffs were only part of it. The countless islands floating in the air were far more incredible than the changes on the ground... and held even greater potential for development and exploration.

But as the pioneering effort gradually got on track and the supply route connecting Coastal Prefecture and New Agondor was opened, the dragons of Coastal Prefecture had successfully driven out the Elemental Creatures and hostile spirits occupying several major floating islands. They had established facilities such as observation posts, research institutes, and energy stations on some of
