Especially the vast formation of tornadoes over the sea that they had encountered while charging out of Storm Island.
Even though Steel Wool could fly.
And could pass safely above the clouds just as Eureka had before.
There were still major problems.
For instance, flying slowly the way Eureka had would have been fine.
After all, engines were machines.
Even if one overheated from overuse, they could shut it down and use another.
But magic beasts could not do that.
Charging at high speed so frequently and for so long was a battle of attrition for a magic beast.
Once their magic power ran out, falling meant death.
So Steel Wool and Little Spoon had still taken an enormous risk.
Of course.
Flying out of the Tornado Zone and beyond the enormous Protective Magic Array did not mean they were safe.
If anything, those had merely been appetizers.
Compared with Storm Island.
The Karim Continent was far more dangerous.
Of course, after passing through the Tornado Zone, the first thing the two little ones had to face was the polluted Storm Strait.
Because of the pollution.
Compared with the waters around Storm Island.
The fish-type magic beasts here were considerably stronger in both aggression and attack power.
Even around reefs where only birds could perch, there were aquatic magic beasts capable of briefly leaving the water and moving through the air.
Those were the deadliest threat to the two little ones.
After all, neither of them was a combat-type magic beast.
So whenever Steel Wool grew tired of flying and needed to rest, Steel Wool would usually find a slightly larger island at once.
Although those islands often had magic beasts of their own.
The beasts on land were somewhat lower-level than the ones that might attack from the water.
