They descended into total darkness, but fortunately the slight glow from Adam’s barriers caused by the fire effect from the crown was lighting up a tiny bit of the walls around them.

“I’ve never heard of this place before,” Emelia whispered, her voice echoing down the walls of the well.

“Hidden in plain sight,” Adam muttered. “I wonder if the eels were all created by Alepheria to hide this place. Making the eels capable of corrupting the slugs no doubt also helps to keep people away.”

“Not to mention that getting a ship that can even go this deep is impossible,” Emelia added.

“Really?” he asked.

“Yeah, even with an Anchor Shot, you can’t go below the cloud layer, because there are no islands floating below it to grapple to. I think the floating effect is also tied to the clouds, so even if you could get close, your ship would be freefalling from the clouds to the bottom.”

Adam frowned. “So it’s meant to basically be suicide to go here?”

“If not for your barriers, then yeah. Although I guess there are some Relics later that can make you fly, but that means that only loopers could come here, since you’d have to pass those back to the start with the Relic Slot upgrade.”

“Should we turn back?” he wondered.
