The soul-powered skiff drew its energy from the Soul Master himself. Since the vessel was so small, pouring large amounts of soul power into it drove its speed across the ocean to the limit, almost sending it flying just above the surface.
On the map, the Evil Spirit Orca pod's territory looked like a tiny patch, but only out at sea did the ocean's vastness truly become apparent.
Converted to actual scale, the marked area covered hundreds of nautical miles in every direction.
