"Alright, take care of Silver Descent." She started walking backward, "rascal, look for your sister if you desire to explore the city."
"You are leaving already?"
"I had planned to, I came to see Master, but it appears she is still cultivating." She looked up at the sky, "the yin curtain will drop soon, so I have to hurry."
Seeing her grin at the sky, while making a fist in excitement, Rais could only shake his head. "My careless lady quit daydreaming, forget not what you here for." Rais pointed at the herbs on the side while watching her become fl.u.s.tered. Dinna took all six of the herbs, rus.h.i.+ng towards the city, forgetting even to talk to her grandmother.
Silver Descent watched while Rais made a square basket for him to sleep inside. Rais placed some of his clothes that no longer fit him inside to make it cozier.
However, a sudden flash made him stand up, gazing towards the sky. To witness, the lines of cyan light beaming from eastern skies towards the west, while the descent of yin curtain followed. Though detecting light below, he looked down to see Silver Descent radiate faint lights to resist the sinister energy approaching him.
"Light element! Maybe we can explore around in the middle of the night once you grow up." Silver Descent produced a low howl curiously following cheerful Rais.
Once more upcasting his eyes, Rais watched the mysterious yin curtain grasp toward the ground, similar to a drop of ink descending downward within a gla.s.s of water. Though just before the shadowy curtain cast nets to the ground, Rais ducked, stepping through the door with Silver Descent.
He saw his mom was still meditating and her complexion didn't look very good. He didn't bother her and went to sleep holding his right arm as he felt a stabbing pain in his right shoulder intensify. Silver Descent jumped up on the bed from its basket and curled up into a ball near Rais.
Strolling, within the stone-paved plaza of the String Port City, covering her face with a veil, Dinna watched a light formation blocking the yin curtain from entering the city. Observing the small twirl of energy inside the curtain Dinna stoped, she always wondered what was causing them.
She entered into a few artifacts shop to buy an audio transmitter, but she became hopeless as none had any that reached the whole Storms Eye.
"Little miss no one sales such a high-quality artifact in the middle of the unexplorable jungle."
Dinna walked out dejected, putting her head down, now she didn't know how to contact her parents. She entered an antique shop selling various items. She saw maid serving tea for young blue cloak priest and the shop owner. On the forehead of the young priest contained an emblem of the G.o.d Zarieun.
"Join us, this is the best tea in the city," shop owner lifted his cup with enthusiasm.
"No thanks, no red hot sugar water, I am looking for an audio transmitter." Dinna didn't even look at them.
"Do you know a woman with a kid with age of seven with an exalted aura." Asked the young priest in blue with a smirk.
"No, why do you ask?"
"I sensed a similar aura to yours six years ago, but it looks like I have mistaken." the priest no longer talked to her and started flirting with the maid.
The shop owner showed her few artifacts with interest. "Take any of them, all of them have an excellent range, you won't even find these even in the largest port city in north Ranatelia."
"How much are they?"
"Even I don't know their price, they were gifts from influential people, the least powerful among them could reach even the farthest corners of southern Ranatelia, as for the most powerful, I have no idea."
"I can't afford these, do you have anything that reaches the Storms Eye archipelago."
"You misinterpreted me, young lady, I don't want money. I am giving it to you, one day in the future, just give me a better one."
"How are you so sure I will come back?"
"It's your choice if you want to come back or not, after all, I am giving it to you."
Dinna picked up a white and gold-colored rectangular sound artifact with a logo of a portal, with Remains of The Steller, written under it. She left all the gold she had and walked out of the store.
"Old man, you are a very talented man, you should work for me."
"You sure she had a similar aura?"
"It doesn't matter if she had that distinct aura or not because she produced two others that were not lesser." The monk pulled the maid on his lap." What a fun time this is turning out to be."
"Hey, fake monk, you had a ceremonial duty in the temple, right?" The maid poured hot tea on his head out of spite.
"I am leaving grandpa." the maid walked out as the door fell off. "You see, my store can't afford a maid."
Within the house, Anila opened her eyes, looking extremely calm. "This is an opportunity for me now I have to find a decent sparring opponent. If I can breakthrough, I should be able to suppress my curse. Then figure out what to do with Rais's curse."
She looked towards Rais, to see the deteriorating rune on his hand, but the main rune on his necklace seemed fine. Sliver Descent howled at her, s.h.i.+vering while being terrified. Rays of light escaped from the palm of her hand, making him fall asleep as he lazily yawned.
She picked him up in confusion and wondered how this was even possible. This thing has a body of flesh, but the head made of condensed spiritual energy. Was this even possible? She thought of a phoenix then to shake her head. She placed him down on the bed and teleported outside.
Her spiritual energy began spreading, but she prevented it from reaching the forest, and nearby cities. She directed her power towards the north, as her target was the ocean.
She flew in about a hundred miles into the ocean and plunged into the darkness. Her surrounding started glowing with intense light. Deep into the water, there sat a figure on an ice crystal platform. The person sitting on the platform looked exactly like Anila.
Once she opened her eyes, she vanished, reappearing before Anila while fiercely attacking her. Ice spears sped through the water, from every direction, but water froze around Anila, stopping them in their tracks. Fast-moving water current started surrounding the other Anila, while Ice arrows rained down from the top forming a twister, as the water current became closer and closer to her.
The arrows pierced through her, but nothing happened to the body, but once the water pressure got closer, it slowly destroyed the body. The only thing that remained was a ball of glowing water. The water merged with Anila as her eyes became blue like the sea and then turned back to brown.
"It's weird fighting myself. I can't utilize my abilities in the right ways. I need to find a decent opponent."
After observing for some time, she attacked some armored whale and a giant turtle, although they became a ball of ice, without being able to resist. Anila realized she wouldn't be able to find any decent fierce beast unless she traveled far within the Great Central Ocean.
Her power began exploring every layer of the ocean, while she transformed into a water vortex, diving deep within the water. "I should go and attack the mermaid queen of the nearest underwater settlement. She should be decent enough to last a few hits." Thinking back, she had sensed three strong spiritual force from beneath.
Diving deep down, she looked around and saw nothing but darkness, and occasionally she heard the sounds of sea creatures, that traveled a great distance.
After reaching the bottom, she saw a n.o.ble radiance of light within the opening a large trench. The light grew brighter and livelier as she went closer. She noticed a gigantic transparent dome structure enveloped by an extremely fast current. The dome at least had a radius of twelve miles. A ma.s.sive glowing stone fixed at the summit, lighting the entire area with a soft uniform glow.
Under the depth to twelve miles, water pressure kept ordinary sea beasts out of the boundaries, but life flourished inside the dome. Outside the dome, a small glow of lights emanated out of the ocean floor as it had been within the Wooden s.h.i.+eld of Ranatelia. It went up for a short distance before disappearing. The dome had layers of defensive arrays and traps. Sound-based rune coated the outer sh.e.l.l of the structure.
The dome had three main layers, separating each other, the outer layer filled with water and thousands of colorful sea creatures. Similarly, the second layer also filled with water, but on the top segment, it had some air, while the bottom of the second section filled with small stone structures. Although very small, the inner layer had the only areas with some drylands, moreover a gigantic mansion in the middle.
Anila effortlessly pa.s.sed through all the barriers without meeting any obstacles. She teleported inside the underwater court, within the mansion. The court of the palace looked like an arena with thousands of seats around it. Shadows cast from the waves from the second layer created a beautiful web of light in the inner area.
The extravagance display of power and wealth impressed Anila. "This is no ordinary dominion," she descended on to the arena. To her surprise, crystal clear divine water filled the court. A group of anxious merman and mermaid stood inside the court around a throne, while on the throne, sat a young mermaid with a proud appearance.
She stood up, stepping down the stairs, slightly walking forward to look up. A small silver crown fixed on top of her head. She had a head full of copper-colored hair with strings of luminous pearls twisting within the hair braid, that reached to below her abdomen, reaching to her hips. On the front, her bangs parted in the middle with slight waves on them, reaching to her collarbone.
She had bright pale skin gleamed, with deep blue eyes to compliment them. Two ice needle earrings hung on her ear, completing the symmetry.
Slightly over her elbows, she wore armlets made pearls with a crimson translucent pendant. She wore a decorative crop top with detached sleeves. She had somewhat orange scales that covered the bottom of her body. She looked around twenty-five years old, with her plump lips pressed against each other as she became slightly worried.
Six needles came out of the throne, floating behind her, while she raised her arm. She didn't know how someone could so easily, barge in without even trying to hide. She saw a figure, wrapped around a fast-moving water current. Their eyes met while she stood there, revealing her powerful denominator. She faced her, knowing her power could surely devastate everything around her.
Immediately after looking at her, Anila knew she was not the mermaid queen she is seeking. Although she looked sharp and seasoned, Anila knew this young woman, was not even in her twenties. Anila peered at her forehead in the area between her eyes and saw a powerful blue droplet-shaped water rune, containing the power of a sea deity.
Anila looked disappointed while she stood in front of the young mermaid. She had her hopes up for a long time, for it to end up being for nothing.
"I had sensed a powerful aura for the last few years, but now I come here to find a little girl. I came here expecting at least a fight mermaid queen, but it was just a girl playing around with her toy." Listening to Anila, she became a little proud.
"I am no little girl, and you don't look very much older than me. The technique that fooled you was taught to me by my mom, to divert away any large sea beasts, that mistakenly wandered near the magic dome. I had never expected that I would attract such a big fish like you instead."
She became a lot more relaxed and had a bright smile on her face. A mermaid warrior from behind her whispered something to her in an unknown language.
Anila had no idea what she was saying to the girl, but her attention was towards the most powerful and sinister aura that she had sensed before diving here. She saw a grayish clay pitcher on the corner of the arena. She had a solemn look on her face, and she became very alert.
Anila pointed toward the pitcher, "how long has that thing been there."
A disgusting laugh traveled across the court, and it made a chill run down through everyone's body.
"Do you know what that thing is? when it arrived a few days ago, water deity told me to leave it alone, as it is impossible to kill it, so it's better to let it do whatever it wants, and eventually, it will leave on its own."
She became very nervous, from the sudden rupture of sinister aura. "I didn't know it could laugh."
"I never saw it before, but my husband said to avoid it as much as possible as it is immortal. He said it takes little children and disappears deep within the sea and no one ever finds even a trace of them."
A ghastly hideous looking hand grew from the top of the pitcher. It struck, extremely fast towards Anila, as it hands stretched and distorted engulfing Anila with a devouring force. The pitcher began floating grayish shadowy legs ruptured out of it.
The limbs bulged out eight filaments like tentacles. When it moved, it penetrated the ground, advancing at a snail pace. An old shriveled head drifted out of the pitchers opening with a vile grin across its grisly features.
The head opened its colorless, cracked pebbles like eyes. Grayish hair drifted on its head like sliver serpents.
Anila escaped from where she stood, standing outside the range of the pitcher. Two pieces of pitcher fell revealing another pair of portal-like eyes in the middle of the pitcher.
She could have easily destroyed the pitcher, but it was not worth considering what came next. She learned it was impossible to kill these hideous things, so she avoided doing anything to it.
"Cursed woman you know a lot, It may not be wise for you. I see, eha eha eha, you are part of a great destiny. I will grant you your life, as I look forward to destinies shaping around you."
Anile just listened to the pitcher, without saying anything.
"Very wise girl."
It slowly walked away, forming a trail that weathered everything around it.
Everyone stood their ground to avoid offending the pitcher. They saw it pa.s.sed through the walls as if it was an illusion."
When it departed, few of the mermaids and mermen had blood streamed out of their eyes and nose. Their eyes turned pupils less, only leaving sinister white. Their bones started twisting, and they howled agonizing groan. Their body emitted an aura of death, and their already pale skin turned bluish as all the blood veins surfaced, similar to the interior of a transparent jellyfish but more hideous. They began crawling like mindless dogs after the pitcher.
Few if the mermaid and mermen threw up from witnessing the horror but right away their body lost all its l.u.s.ter and health and became skeleton-like undead. The holy light from the water deity temple dimmed down.
Everyone became horrified witnessing the scene, but also slightly relieved when they saw the monster had left.
When all the mindless puppets had left, the mermaid girl walked to the mermaid water deity altar containing three stones with a silver flame on top. The blaze raged underwater without any difficulty.
"She took out a pearl and burned it within the flame. The powerful magic rune burned away within the flame."

"Water deity, what made you take away their divine protection? They wear good people, what will I answer to mother?"
"They had a bad intention toward the Gray Myite. Not even the blessing of thousands of diety would have saved them. I have no choice but to abandon them. Even the main mermaid deity of the central ocean would have abandoned them. If the sea G.o.d still existed in this world, he would abandon them."
"Why had it come?"
"To look for a worthy candidate!"
"What does that mean?"
"You need not know, after all, you are unworthy."
"You should also avoid the woman who came from the surface. Her deity seemed to abandon her. She might be a cursed witch from the land. A silver like female deity manifested on top of the flame.
"How did she survive from that hideous things? Abandoned! I doubt it, she wors.h.i.+ps the common G.o.d, as so many people on the surface do." She grew slightly curious.
She came down from the altar. All the mermaid had their head down, and the right arm raised for wors.h.i.+p to the deity.
Inside the house, where Rais quietly slept, a barrier protected him from any outside intent. A mark on his right arm started spreading, but the bracelet around his arm restricted it. A black flame ignited, but it also died down. Around his neck a was a necklace made with the same stone materials. Also, the ball-shaped bell that was around his abdomen was around his neck.
