Chapter 173 - Myra.

Myra Continent.

A very mysterious and beautiful place.

A large electromagnetic forcefield surrounded the large Continent— no one knows why, but it is the dream of every young adventurer to visit that place once in their lifetimes.

The Continent didn't have a lot of landmass— instead, there was a lot of rivers and oceans. But, there was also beautiful gardens and forests in Myra— it was like mother nature blessed his place.

No one is aware, but Myra Continent is hiding one of the biggest secrets.

Everyone thoughts that only two intelligent races are living in this world. Humans and Mutated Beasts.

Actually... They are wrong!

A beautiful and tall tree was in the center of the Myra.

The tree is so large that it is 50km in length, while it is tall enough to go over clouds!

It is tall enough to be seen everywhere in Myra, and it is one of the most wanted sights to see in the world.

But, this tree is hiding a huge secret.

Inside the tree... There is a kingdom hidden from the world!

There are millions of branches inside the tree, and every branch has a treehouse or a road made of wood.

The citizens of this Kingdom all looked very happy and cheerful. They don't even have the slightest fear of falling down, which would mean their deaths. Everyone lived in harmony, without any disputes.

This place was like worlds apart from humans world, which was run by greed and selfishness.

At the top of the tree, there was a large cloud that separated a small part of the tree, but on top of the cloud, a massive palace was seen.

It shouldn't be possible for that cloud to keep carrying that heavy-looking palace, but it was!

The palace was beautiful, made of white marbles, and golden pillars held the ceiling from falling.

Around the palace, a large land of clouds was seen. There were hundreds of children happily jumping around the cloud, using it as a jump pad, while their parents looked at them with gentle smiles.

But, they all have features which is far different from humans.

They all have pointy ears!

The children looked adorable, like peerless treasures. Their happy giggles could brighten every atmosphere, while the parents looked beautiful and handsome. Most of the children had bright gold hair, while few had silver hair.

In the spacious room of the palace.

The room looked ordinary Throne Room, except it was painted in gold and white colors.

Two figures were sitting on chairs while a pale-looking young woman was sitting in front of them.

There was also an old woman next to the young woman.

The first figure was a middle-aged man with a face handsome enough to make every human wail in shame. His bright gold hair reached his waist, while his pointy ears gave him an exotic look. His brows were furrowed in worry while looking at the young woman in front of him. His name is Aeriel Wrath Helm.

Next to him, the most beautiful woman in the world was sitting. She had long flowy golden hair which reached her buttocks and a face that should be impossible to exist. Long eyelashes with gentle-looking blue eyes, delicate eyebrows, curved nose, and pink-colored lips. 

Her body was a perfect masterpiece, she was wearing tight-looking white robes, which made her breasts almost bulge out, and her soft-looking legs were seen underneath the robes. Her name is Myra Wrath Helm.

The young woman in front of them looked very pale, but it didn't change her unnaturally beautiful features. Her golden hair had bed hair currently with fatigued-looking eyes and a skinny-looking body. She didn't look as beautiful as others, but she was still above every other human. Her name is Ariel Wrath Helm.

The old woman next to her had a gentle smile. She had hunched back with silver hair and a wrinkled face. Her name is Elder Olivia.

''Ariel, how are you feeling?'' Myra asked with worry— her otherworldly beautiful face had a pained look.

Ariel shakily nodded, ''I will be fine...'' Her fatigued and hoarse sound told her condition.

Aeriel looked towards Elder Olivia and asked, ''Is there really nothing to do?''

Elder Olivia sighed and shook her head, ''There is nothing I can do.''

Aeriel and Myra covered their faces with their hands.

They felt like their worlds were falling apart.

Ariel gently smiled and tried to act cheerful, ''I-I am fine, Mom... Dad...''

''Honey...'' Myra almost bursted in tears.

Ariel has always tried to act cheerful to not bring their hopes down, but since she got the illness that has never been cured before, the hopes have already been crushed down.

But Ariel had a face that told that she would be fine.

''Also, my Prince will be saving me,'' Ariel said with a massive smile that didn't fit her fatigued face.

Aeriel and Myra sighed.

Elder Olivia shook her head.

Ariel has been seeing visions of some white-haired young man saving her, but everyone who received the same illness as Ariel did, sees some kind of visions, which will never come true.

Aeriel patted her head, trying to hide his sad look, ''Of course, he will save you.''

''Nn.'' Ariel smiled sweetly.

The illness Ariel has is the only illness her race can get. It is called Destined Illness.

It is the illness that apparently only appears on the chosen ones, and so far, no one has survived it. Everyone who has the illness ends up seeing visions of their future ''lover'' who will end up saving them, but so far, none of them have been saved before they died.

The first stage of the illness is your body becoming weaker.

Ariel is currently in the first stage.

The second stage is the loss of beauty. They will become so ugly that no one will desire them in the end, and this is a race who is proud of their beauty— this second stage is one of the harsher ones for them.

Third stage. The one who has illness will become first blind, then deaf, then mute, and in the end... Cripple.

The fourth and final stage is death.
