• Ronan found that the arm ring still would not lend him its power, then crossed the ocean alone while training.

• Bennigo etched a tree pattern onto Ronan and the Saint Blood Tree, then used beetles to transfer the tree's energy into Ronan's heart.
• Ronan gained the Saint Tree Magic Array, while the Saint Blood Tree was left severely drained; Bennigo warned Ronan to protect his heart and return within five years.
• Ronan gave Bennigo Itai, a metal that could evolve by devouring other metals, and left the secret realm.
• Half a month later, Ronan arrived in Restwind Harbor and found Old Wells's potion shop locked and empty, with Sheryl's name on a keepsake attached to its wind chime.
• A boy who had known Old Wells told Ronan that Old Wells, Vinnie, and Sheryl had left, then recognized Ronan as the person named in a letter they had entrusted to him.

• Ronan and Chuck set out aboard a Magic Airship toward the Green Glimmering Sea Abyss, with Ronan bringing the dying Howling Fish he had bought at the Sunset Gathering.
• Chuck told Ronan that Howling Fish were lured by Sea Clan flesh and that legends from Merfolk's Song described them as demons' tools for hunting and enslaving the Sea Clan.

Ronan explored the Green Glimmering Sea Abyss with Chuck, where the Eye of Truth revealed a terrifying ancient presence beneath the sea. After Chuck lured Howling Fish with his blood, Ronan captured them and discovered a shattered conch inside each fish.

• Chuck told Ronan that demons had destroyed the sea folk kingdom of Merfolk's Song, and Ronan entered the Green Glimmering Sea Abyss aboard the Magic Airship.

• Ronan captured several Howling Fish with his Spiritual Power, examined their bodies during their sonic attack, and found a small shattered conch inside each one.

Ronan discovered that parasitic snails gave the Howling Fish their sonic attacks, then reached the Mist Forbidden Zone and awakened [Clarity Extreme Thought]. A Howling Fish King swallowed him, leaving him trapped inside its body as a corrosive gray mist advanced.

• Ronan attacked the advancing gray mist with Golden Tentacles, but it erased their Magic Domain aura and began corroding the core Itai.

Ronan confronted the supreme Comb-boned Demon Snail inside the Howling Fish King and endured its devastating shriek to study its ancient mysteries. As Ascetic Body Forging reached Master Level, his body underwent a sudden transformation, and he sent Chuck and the airship away from the rising fish carcass.

• Ronan escaped the gray mist, found the enormous parasitic monstrous snail, and used Aihaxia to fight off the ghostly heads guarding it.
• Ronan attacked the sleeping snail with Spirit Moye Brass Head, but its shriek shattered his defenses, destroyed nearby Ghost Bodies, and severely injured him.
• Ronan activated his Ancient Frost Hydra Bloodline and other enhancements, resisted the sound waves, and touched the snail's crystalline shell, seeing visions of an ocean world and identifying it as a Comb-boned Demon Snail.
• Ascetic Body Forging reached its 1,500-point Master Level threshold, and Ronan's Ancient Giant Demon body burst apart as black Light of Runes surged from him.
• Chuck was swept away with the Magic Airship as an enormous Howling Fish carcass rose from the sea.
