"We had just returned from the center of the island and stumbled upon your camp."

"The island's center!?" Irona's face showed surprise. "That's impossible."

According to the legends passed down through generations on King Kong Island, the island's center was a land once inhabited by deities, guarded by numerous divine beings who would tear apart any intruders.
