Chapter 680 Princess of Elves
Astral Calendar: 2049, 3rd of October.The king then arrested the strongest unit of the Yalveran Union without any resistance. But unfortunately, the Yalen King failed to apprehend the one man who saved his kingdom because he disappeared along with his family and comrades.
After the end of this tragedy, the world had to count its losses. In the end, it was found that there were 29,459 deaths and 154,382 injuries. Half of those deaths and injuries were at the hands of Amelio, and the other half were by the monsters and demihumans that had appeared. As for the city itself, half of it was destroyed beyond recognition.
It was a sad day for this world and the beginning of terror. Although Kera has evacuated most of its residents, there were too many deaths and injuries resulting from this attack. This wound needed time to heal.
The rescue efforts began to save survivors who did not get to the shelter or those trapped underground after Amelio's attack. It was a slow process, but the world tended to its wounds.
The incident fueled the news channels worldwide to publish story after story, and the footage broadcasted after Arthur Silvera hijacked the drones could not be contained. Every citizen had them, and not even the world's leaders could do anything about them.
The non-awakeners started writing conspiracy theories about the seven families, whose existence became almost a reality rather than a rumor. Finally, Arthur Silvera told the people that the world was being led toward destruction by seven families who wished to rule it once again.
Several blogs and online presences were shut down, and no trace of them could be found. However, the whole world knows, so this was just proof that a higher force was trying to hide the truth.
Ultimately, it was futile, and the truth became known to everyone. However, this was the beginning of the unrest, as the people lost faith in their leaders because of the Yalen King's actions. Although the kingdom tried to explain the situation, it became apparent because of the Yalen King's selfishness.
In the end, the Yalen King failed to capture Arthur Silvera. Furthermore, his refusal to use the emergency summons to let the other nations aid Kera was proof of his selfishness. This birthed several guilds, who declared their disapproval of the king and became criminals.
For the reasons above, the date "3rd of October" became known as the beginning of chaos. As for the man in the center of everything, Arthur Silvera, his whereabouts were unknown.

Arthur fell to the ground as soon as the teleportation appeared. His body crashed after going over its limits a long time ago. However, Arthur could use the strength of many because of his Release-rune, which worked to release his body's limits.
However, the side effects were immense. Arthur started bleeding from his every orifice, as several of his internal organs were damaged. The scene alarmed Oren and the rest, who were still celebrating their escape using the calamity spider.
"We need to take him to Janea," said Julia with a frown. "The damage that he sustained is immense, far from being normal. Arthur has exerted his life force to use that amount of power. The Healing Paradise, Janea, is the nation of healers."
"We cannot go there," said Arthur as he started coughing blood, and large amounts of black-tar blood came out. "I will be arrested the moment I am, cough, seen. I can heal on my… own… so just take me to the control room."
"We can find someone willing to help," frowned Oren as he held his brother with worry. Finally, however, Arthur shook his head. It was at that moment that an alarm came off inside the mansion.
"An unidentified person has entered the barrier."
Arthur frowned before he waved his hand, and a hologram appeared to reveal a woman on a broom. Her long green hair danced in the wind, and her freckled face carried a smile as she waved at them. It seems she was talking with no intention of attacking them.
"I am here to heal the outsider!" said the woman toward them, and the crowd frowned. They were still in the outmost layer of the mansion, the goblins' home. "I am alone!"
"This woman is…" muttered Julia with shock. "She is the current princess of Janea, also known as the Life Deity. However, what is she doing here, and how did she find us?"
"Descendants of the Healer Guardian," muttered Arthur as he stared at her before opening the doors to the mansion. The rest were shocked as the woman entered on her broom and started descending.
"Arthur, can we trust her?" asked Oren as he gripped his sword, but Arthur did not answer. The woman descended to the ground and strapped her broom on her back before walking toward them.
"Greetings, Arthur Silvera," bowed the woman with a smile. "I apologize for interrupting your escape, but I realized I might be useful to you. You are the almighty creator, so you can heal yourself. However, can you recover your mana fast enough before your body dies?"
"It seems you have realized my predicament," laughed Arthur as he rose from the ground. "You are his vessel, right?"
"I received the offer but have yet to accept it," said the woman with a smile. "Therefore, I don't carry his will, nor will I try to take anything from you."
"I don't like free things," said Arthur. "There is no free lunch in this world, so what do you want? Is it money? A new ability?"
"You are truly an almighty god," the woman giggled, and it stunned the crowd. "I want to spend some time away from my nation, and this place sounds like a wonderful vacation spot. But, I also want to know the man the world hates and loves."
"I think we should take her deal," said Julia. "It seems she isn't lying, and if she does something to Arthur, then Li will kill her. It is far better than letting these injuries hinder your future growth, Arthur."
"This sounds too good to be true," muttered Selena with a frown. "I think we should go to my family's estate and seek help instead."
"I will trust her," announced Arthur before the rest could argue the matter. His eyes stared into the woman's eyes, and she smiled sweetly. "I know her bloodline, after all."
"Then, it is a deal," grinned the woman. "My name is Tiara, and it's a pleasure to meet you, at last, Arthur Silvera."
***
After a few hours, Arthur was lying in his bed unconscious. His wounds had mostly healed, and Tiara was about to leave him to rest. However, Arthur opened his eyes and asked her a question.
"Have you met Lyari?" asked Arthur while staring at the ceiling. His body was bandaged and covered with potions, leaves, and ointments. Tiara turned toward him with a smile.
"It seems the two of you are friends indeed," said Tiara before she pulled a chair and sat beside him. On the other side was Li, standing there silently. "I met him indeed. Have you?"
"In another timeline," smiled Arthur. "Our last meeting was a fight because I didn't want to listen to him. The rest of the guardians can easily be identified as friends or foes, but Lyari is different. I knew he didn't want to hurt me."
"Sometimes, you hurt those you love by wanting to be with them, regardless of their desires." Tiara caressed her ears and took something off. "You should know about this since you met the guardian already."
Her ears were pointy and long, suggesting her relation to the Elven King, Lyari. Arthur nodded at her question, and the woman smiled weakly. Then, she explained, "I did not lie about why I want to be here. These ears made me the Princess of Elves and cursed me with unimaginable responsibility. Before I accept being a vessel, I wanted some time alone."
"You healed this broken body, so you are free to stay here as long as you desire," Arthur replied before turning back toward the ceiling. "However, it will get a lot more hectic from now on. We are, after all, a wanted group."
"There is no safer place on this earth than your side, creator," said Tiara before she left her seat. "Excuse me as I take one of the empty rooms in the inner layer. Then, if you need any healing, call me."
