LEOFLOR ISLAND.
That was the formal name of the 'Lawless Jungle'– the jungle on the isolated island that stood exactly between where the different colors of water of the Unholy Sea met.
The locals named it as such because the sea had different colors.
From where she stood, the seawater on the left side of the island had a murky color, while the seawater on the right side was clear. The locals believed that the murky side was the territory of the demons, while the clear side of the seawater was the side protected by the Sun Goddess.
Of course, Neoma could explain that the ocean color depended on how light interacted with the materials in the water. But who was she to act like a know-it-all in a foreign land? Moreover, gods and goddesses literally existed in this world.
Hence, the locals' beliefs might be true.
