As everyone knew, battles could only take place in four global planes - on land, in water, underground, or in the air.
Sometimes, especially on land, one had to fight against an opponent from another plane, and enemies who could fly were one of the worst and most dangerous possibilities.
It was no secret that a better position in battle could give a significant advantage. When the monster was on top, hovering above the ground, and the Phantom was below - unable to reach his opponent, the Phantom's chances of victory were much less.
However, if Phantom had powerful long-range abilities, it equalized their chances, but what about Adam?
Of all his ranged attacks, he only had his thunderbolt from Third Artifact Trait, but... using that against Iron Stingray was just stupid.
So Adam was left with only one option, he had to reach Iron Stingray manually and bring the monster down to the ground.
