The slowly expanding poison fog mushroom cloud looks unchanged, and the entirely black Forbidden Melt Peak Mountain Range stretches across like a city wall.
After saying goodbye to the Undead Warrior, the Hero continues to walk between these two.
The lifeless scorching land, the sulfur smell piercing into the lungs, the sky so dim it seems perpetually covered by thick smoke, and the occasional drift of poison fog make breathing even heavier.

The Hero relies on the Finger Claw to continuously replenish Magic Power, maintaining the Snake Maiden's Transformation Status, and even reactivating the Water Light Battle Skirt; they can withstand this harsh environment. However, the Gleaming Scale Serpent crawling on the ground isn't having as easy a time.
