The Miser's Wisdom

At the cliff on the island's edge.

Martin opened a second Sealing Scroll, unleashing another mass of fire pillars that burned the endless stream of Fishmen to death below the cliff.

These were all low-level Fishmen. Not only were they dim-witted, they obeyed high-level Fishmen without question. At a single command, they would not retreat a step even if mountains of blades and seas of fire lay ahead.
