Beneath the Sea

Luo Ye couldn't teleport, and Thor had no coordinates outside the Royal Palace, so the two of them flew there the old-fashioned way.

Fortunately, Tier 3 Wizards could fly fast, and the Eternal Night Royal Palace was close to the coast. They soon caught sight of the sea.

Thor followed close behind, diving in with a graceful flourish.

Swimming beneath the Red Sea Trees was extremely difficult. The water below this stretch of the Red Sea wasn't as open as other seas. It was packed with tangled Red Sea Tree roots, and they couldn't damage them.
