"This is a normal reaction. Don't worry.
After all, the White Sea is seven thousand meters above the ocean.
Coming here so suddenly can cause weakness, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms.
You'll be fine once you get used to it."
Randall's calm voice eased much of Kurik's unease.
Huh? Wait!
Kurik suddenly realized something.
"Wait, then why are you completely fine?!"
Randall gave him a puzzled look and said,
"Isn't that perfectly normal? I'm stronger than you!"
Kurik fell silent.
Indeed, this guy was as strong as a monster. He could even take down Sea Kings, so it made sense that he wasn't affected...
"S-so, is this Sky Island?"
After a moment of silence, Kurik spoke.
After seeing the sea cloud that could support a ship, Kurik was now completely convinced that Sky Island existed.
At that moment, a flood of emotions washed over him.
Randall said, "No, this is just the White Sea. To reach the real Sky Island, we still have to go higher.
That's the White-White Sea, ten thousand meters above the ocean. Sky Island is up there."
Kurik said, "By the way, how do you know so much about Sky Island? Have you been here before?
No, if you'd been here before, you wouldn't have needed me."
Randall rolled his eyes and said,
"Stop worrying about all that pointless stuff. Worry about yourself first.
I've brought you up to Sky Island as promised, so we're even now!"
At those words, Kurik froze for a moment, then accepted it.
Right. Going through danger together had made him forget that he and Randall were merely passing acquaintances.
"Wait! Hold on a second!" Kurik suddenly realized something.
"By the way, how strong are the Skypieans? I won't be in danger there, will I?!"
A trace of regret welled
