Since the establishment of Dystopia, it is common knowledge that there exist two different planes that inhabited the various races and mythical creatures.
The so-called mortal plane is the place where Mirage and the myriad races lived, the plane was as large as 3 Earths combined and it consisted of 5 Major Continents/Ocean respectively: Northern Icy Plains, Eastern Beastly Wilderness, Southern Seas, Western Endless Desert, and lastly the Central Mysterious Continent.
The continent in the far north of the mortal plane was said to have a harsh cold climate that snows all year round without stop even for a single day.
It is said that there are countless dead bodies buried deep inside the snows of the Icy Plains thus one would be able to dig countless treasures from the dead if one had the ability to resist the extreme cold temperature of the continent.
The Eastern Beastly Wilderness was the continent where Mirage and the Blood Organization were located and this is a continent rich in lush greenery and forests.
A continent said to be rich in resources while at the same time consist of a fierce and dangerous environment due to the countless terrifying wild beasts hiding and scattered across the forests of the continent.
This continent also occasionally suffered from the rampaging wild beasts that formed their beast tides to ravage and plunder the lives of the various race's settlements scattered across the continent.
The Southern Seas is said to majorly consist of the extremely deep and vast ocean and sparsely scattered islands that were already taken and plundered by the tyrannical pirates roaming around the vast ocean.
It is said that deep down the ocean lived countless intelligent sea creatures such as the beautiful mermaid race, terrifying crabmen race, adorable clam race, and many more sea creatures that created and established their civilizations.
The Central Mysterious Continent is a place inaccessible by the majority of the people as the continent was surrounded by terrifying gale winds that prohibited people from entering and pushing them out.
No one can confirm of what the place looks like as those who had managed to luckily enter the continent did not manage to get out and bring any news outside.
Some say they were killed by the inhabitants of the continent while some say they were trapped and were unable to get out.
The people speculated that the continent became a barren land due to it being the main battlefield of the Great War that happened ten thousand years ago.
Others strongly disagreed on this notion and said that the continent could possibly have an extremely advanced technology that tremendously helped them fend off any outsiders and they even said an absurd thing that the people of the continent were said to be using a flying vehicle to travel.
In the end, these claims weren't verified and were just mere speculations and opinions from people who hadn't even managed to enter the said continent.
This continent was then declared and named as the most mysterious continent out of all the continents found in the mortal plane.
Meanwhile, the Endless Desert Continent was where the Prophetic Child was born and the current location of Irene, her master, and the Mythical Red Dragon from the Mystical Plane.
It is said that the Mystical Plane had long disappeared from the annals of time and had gone missing as the people of the mortal plane weren't able to find its entrance any longer.
The Mystical Plane is said to be the known habitat of terrifying mythical creatures in the legends such as the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, The Roc Race, and many more.
It is said that the living conditions in that mystical plane were extremely harsh and dangerous for the myriad races to live on thus it is an unsuitable place for humans or any other weak intelligent creature to inhabit.
No one knows of the exact appearance of that place as those who had managed to enter in the past also didn't manage to come back even after so many years had passed.
But this did not mean that the residents of the mortal plane did not know that such a plane existed, in fact, they knew it very well for the fact that every so often a mythical creature or two would occasionally come out of that place and descend to their mortal plane to wreak havoc.
This made the myriad races tremble in fear but they still nevertheless went to kill the rampaging creature or they fear that the myriad races might get wiped out if they let the creatures destroy their mortal plane.
It was quite strange though because since thousands of years ago all of the mythical creatures to ever come out of that mystical plane were said to possess strange bloodthirsty nature.
It was like they had suddenly become crazy the moment they came out of that elusive plane and not even a dragon was spared from this as they had also descended into madness the moment they appeared on the mortal plane.
The records of the mystical plane that Irene and her master had were seriously outdated that they still thought until now that the creatures from the mystical plane were all arrogant and condescending towards the mortal plane.
In fact, it was a wonder on how the both of them had managed to live on until now with that kind of low information gathering skill.
Was it due to their elusiveness or just their serious inability to gather information? No one knows.
Well, back to the main topic, there's a precedent of the known docile black tortoise also falling into madness after it descended down their plane.
It has to be known that the Black Tortoise Race were kind and docile mythical creatures that couldn't bear to harm its surroundings, and yet it had suddenly caused chaos and unrest in the whole of Dystopia because of its strange state of madness.
The residents of the mortal plane were terrified by this after they had killed the tortoise they had tacitly agreed to themselves to stop their search for the Mystical Plane.
No one dared to seek and enter that place any longer as that plane was just too dangerous to enter at the moment.
Also, it has to be known that even when the whole of the mortal plane descended into utter chaos because of the unending war, they, the mystical plane had not even bothered to respond to the myriad race's call for assistance and just quietly watched to the side without any problems.
Their attitudes were clear for everyone to see and at that time, the countless warring races felt relief and disappointment wash over them at the same time.
They didn't want their enemies to suddenly gain formidable allies after all and some were also disappointed because they coveted the strength of these mythical creatures only to get coldly rejected by them.
With this precedence, who would still dare to enter that Mystical Plane? How could those arrogant mythical creatures possibly treat them with care? Even if there's indeed a race kind enough that would protect them, the real question is, do they even know of what danger awaited them the moment they entered that mad and cold place? No!
They could only give up on the notion of entering that dangerous place until they felt strong enough to protect themselves.

Irene gazed up towards the sky where her master was fighting the mad red dragon.
Her pure white eyes looked lost and sad at this moment, she knew that her future action would definitely incite the anger of her master as it would severely affect her and might even kill her in the process, but she had no choice right now as this was the only way for her to rescue him.
She looked down then sighed and silently muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry master. I know that you only wanted to help and protect me but I can't watch and let you suffer because of me so I hope that you wouldn't blame me for using it."
If she chose to not interfere with their fight then perhaps she would be able to save herself from the countless tribulations that were coming for her, but her conscience and love towards her master did not let her abandon him heartlessly.
It was precisely because it was her master who would bear the tribulation in her stead and not just any random people, it was her master who took great care of her since young, the master who scolded her for committing wrong deeds and mistakes, the petty yet generous master who would hoard all the item for himself while giving the items that he deemed useful for her.
Her eyes reddened at this thought thus she had instantly decided to interfere between their fight and take back the aggro of the tribulation from her master.
"Please forgive me master for not following your orders as this is the only method that I could think of right now that could protect both you and my disciple from danger at the same time."
With that, she slowly closed her eyes and the dormant will energy inside her violently churned, her long and vibrant white hair was wildly dancing in the air while her whole body emitted a strong yet unstable transparent white aura.
The aura had completely covered her whole figure while her strong aura was leaking intensely which successfully caught the attention of both the blonde man and the dragon in the air.
The red dragon did not feel too much about this as it was currently in its berserk state and paid no heed to another insignificant human.
It continued its fierce assault towards the puny human who dared to offend and blocked its way from destroying the annoyingly pointed black tower.
The same couldn't be said to the blonde man though as his face currently displayed an expression of extreme shock and anxiousness after he saw his disciple use the dangerous technique that he had prohibited for her to use.
