A tall-masted ship sailed alongside the eastern shoreline of the Ulier Continent, traveling southward.
Every week, ships would sail between the Acadian Empire and the Southern Federation. Other than flying dirigibles, this was the only method of transportation between the two lands.
After all, the Murky Mountains separated the Southern Continent from the rest of the Ulier Continent.
This mountain range was full of dangers, so much so that even Rank 3 - Mana Vortex Magi would prefer to avoid it.
It was home to countless magical beasts, many of them having strength equal to a Mana Vortex Magus.
There were even rumors that there were a handful of beasts equivalent to Mana Core Ranks in these mountains!
However, such claims were never proven. Perhaps, it was a tale woven by people to prevent others from recklessly entering this dangerous place.
Or perhaps Magi did indeed come face to face with such a powerful beast but never lived to tell the tale.
No one knew.
