"Boom...rumble..."
The tropical cumulonimbus clouds came without warning.
One moment the sky was clear, and in the blink of an eye, it turned overcast, accompanied by violent winds and waves.
From a distance, one could see the high tides beginning to surge in the bay of Padlin New Navigation Island.
In an instant, raindrops the size of soybeans pelted the yellowing glass of the inn, crackling as they struck.
Through the window of the inn, one could see the Padlin New Navigation Island bay engulfed in the dense curtain of rain.
Tuck's apparition was reflected on the window.
At the same time, the contour of Tuck's Soul Shadow appeared behind him.
"It looks like this rain won't stop anytime soon,"
Tuck muttered, shaking his head.
When Tuck passed through the Soul Shadow,
he appeared inside the Steam Magic Cottage.
Outside the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows of the Magic Cottage, towering waves rose.
