Anchor Island.
The ninth-largest island group of the Tulip Archipelago, located in the southeastern outer seas of Flame Island.
Liszt and A Ke stood on the shore of Anchor Island, gazing out at the azure sea with furrowed brows. Crude, ugly shacks had already sprung up one after another across the water's surface.
Creatures resembling the ancient Fish-Ugly race they had once encountered lived in these shacks scattered through the shallows. Their upper bodies resembled strange fish, while their lower bodies had frog-like legs and feet, with webbed, splayed toes. Their hands were similarly frog-like, gripping weapons that looked like fish bones.

These ugly creatures had yellowish-green skin and uttered rhythmic yet monotonous sounds, like some primitive language.
"Brother, these monsters are so ugly," A Ke said disdainfully.
She felt rather let down. Liszt had said he was bringing her here to see the sea, yet instead they had found a horde of such hideous monsters.
"They certainly are ugly. But what exactly are these creatures?"
"They resemble the Fish-Ugly in the Fish-Ugly Temple. They may be descendants propagated by the Fish-Ugly race."
"But the undead Fish-Ugly Virginia transformed into was several meters tall. The monsters here are not even one meter tall. The difference is far too great." Liszt shook his head.

These Fish-Ugly-like creatures not only lived in the shallow sea, but were also constantly migrating
