Benjamin hovered roughly ten meters above the sea, with the constantly heaving waters beneath his feet.
Though he had clearly left Mist City behind, the dense fog over the sea was even heavier than that on land.
It was as though someone had stuffed the entire sea into an enormous steamer. An ordinary person's visibility here was probably less than two meters.
The air was thick with a salty, fishy stench mingled with an indescribable sickly-sweet odor of decay.
Benjamin made a quick calculation. He had already left Mist City's coastline and flown roughly a hundred nautical miles southwest.

Yet the information relayed by the Glimmer Eye detected no energy fluctuations from any other enemies.
Once he confirmed that he had entered the Glimmer Eye's range, Benjamin slowed down and glided silently through the dense fog.

The skin covered in dense scales was peeling away in great patches, exposing muscle tissue
