The kelp monster was not the only thing that appeared to stop them. The Forbidden Ocean is not considered a forbidden zone just because it has monsters. The entirety of the ocean itself was dangerous as even corals can become something deadly.
They even encountered a field of corals that would shoot poisonous spike at those that enter the area. The spikes also fired at an incredibly speed that it even hit Wisteria and pierced her defenses. The poison was easily nullified though as Wisteria is easily immune to poisons that cannot deal damage to a spiritual body.
The ones that were almost killed were Renyu and Altum but they managed to pull through every single time. Their bodies adapted more and more to the Forbidden Ocean and even Adrian noticed it. Their bodies were being tempered by the dangers of the area which also makes them more susceptible to divine energy. Another dangerous smile crept up on Adrian's face as he suddenly thought of another thing.
