Blackie's incredible speed carried Marcus across several large islands. More than two hours later, an unusually shaped island finally appeared beneath them.
Black Serpent Islet.
From the air, the island looked surprisingly small, covering barely a thousand square meters. Jagged black rocks protruded from every direction, giving it a bleak, lifeless appearance. There wasn't a single tree, blade of grass, or wandering monster anywhere in sight. Aside from the endless black stone, the island seemed completely barren.
"Take us down."
Blackie descended toward the island's eastern side. As they approached the ground, a massive boulder came into view. Hidden behind it was the entrance to a cave, its mouth constantly releasing thick streams of swirling black mist.
This was the Black Serpent Cave. The lair of the Iceflame Black Serpent Man.
