Chapter 5: Poor Spirit Beast
Elysia woke up from her rest, and by that time, she was feeling much better. She no longer felt pain or fatigue. As a precaution against threats, Elysia checked her surroundings with her scanning capabilities. After making sure it was safe, she stood up to look at the situation outside.
'Is it nighttime? I slept until the night... This is not good. The night is even more dangerous for me to get out. I'd better go back inside to wait for morning to come.' Elysia returned to her hiding place after seeing that the sky was already dark. She returned to sit in the blind spot of the ever-shining aurora crystal light.
'Sigh... What do I do now? I can't go to sleep again after my rest, right?' As she muttered in her mind, a soft growl sounded out from her stomach.
Elysia hadn't eaten anything from the booty since noon. On her 'escape crime scene' trip, she only drank water to prevent dehydration. Now, it was night, and of course, her stomach protested as if it was asking for food and drink.
Hearing that, Elysia slightly blushed while holding her stomach with both hands. However, she suddenly turned pale and quickly checked her surroundings. She was worried that the sound of her stomach earlier would call for danger.
She let out a sigh of relief after her worries didn't come true. Then, she took some bread from her [Space Storage] and enjoyed a simple dinner in silence without the slightest sound.
The dinner ended with a satisfied stomach. Elysia returned to her train of thoughts about the magic that she still didn't understand.
'Is that maybe true? When I was a child, I remember reading a book about magic that really caught my eye... I knew it was a child's story, but at this point, it proved true that magic is a manifestation of the imagination in the mind. Hmm...' Elysia tried to remember many things ranging from fiction, fairy tales, and novels that she had read in the past.
When Ali had free time, he spent part of his time reading many things. He had always been a loner because of his extraordinary imagination and mindset.
Feeling sufficient about several things, she immediately experimented with a lot of trial and error by relying on her theory and imagination. She resembled the magician in a fairy tale who was trying to create new magic. Some things could be realized, but many didn't even have any effect.
After trying a few things, Elysia scanned the surrounding 200 meters for any danger. She periodically performed the scan for her safety. Then, she tried to realize her imagination in the form of real projections of life elements such as fire, water, lightning, etc.
Her repeated experiments with the elements took quite a while to find enlightenment. She managed to make it appear on her palm after imagining the element's detailed structure.
Apart from mastering various elements, Elysia could also use telekinesis-like power to move small stones with just her will. Unfortunately, she became exhausted and felt weak from the experiments, probably from using too much energy.
It was a late night. Elysia could only sleep and hope to wake up in the morning. She returned to the same hiding spot as before and sat down like a dignified girl.
She was still wearing the dress, and she tried to adapt quickly to this new situation. Inevitably, she had to act like the girl in one of the stories she had read before.
Her lack of experience with friends made her not know much about other people, especially about women. Because of that, she chose the ever-lucky protagonist from a particular story as her role model.
As soon as she closed her eyes, a large creature approached quickly towards the cave where she was hiding.
Instantly, she opened her eyes and raised her awareness of the imminent danger. A large creature resembled a tiger but with a slightly purplish-black color and a pair of wings on its back immediately entered the cave.
'Out of many places, why did you choose to come to this barely visible cave!' Elysia could only curse her wish a moment ago. Instead of luck, disaster came to visit.
'The tiger seems to be seriously injured... Hm, what about the tiger's status?' Elysia took a little peek to see the black tiger's status screen. It was a scary scene, but she did it with great care and consideration.
<| Lv. 141 | Spirit Beast | Quantum Winged Tiger | 810 / 124,500 |>
'I am dead!' Elysia no longer dared to peek for even a second longer. She exclaimed frantically in her mind just because of that tiger's status.
Even though the tiger was severely injured, the level difference between the tiger and her was still too high. If Elysia was desperate and determined to attack, she would just be the tiger's dinner menu. One failure would lead to a tragic dead end.
Just by comparing the tiger's size and herself, the results were easy to conclude. Elysia's small body might just be a snack for the tiger. Understanding the urgency of the sudden danger, Elysia could only try to eliminate her existence for the hope of survival.
She forced herself to remain calm, slowed her heart rate, softened her breathing, and she leaned back in the same sitting position without moving as if she was just another inanimate object.
'What should I do now? I couldn't stay on guard like this all night... Should I kill the tiger? But how?' Elysia tried to find a solution.
Unfortunately, all the methods and scenarios that came to her mind would only lead to tragedy. It was mission impossible for her to inflict 810 damage on the tiger given their huge level difference.
Feeling tired of thinking without a solution, Elysia just closed her eyes as if she had given up on fate. She was still exhausted from the previous experiment.
Elysia assumed she could level up by killing this dying beast. However, because of their level difference and mental exhaustion, she could only sit like a rock and hope that the tiger would leave soon.
An excellent opportunity to level up by killing a spirit class beast could only be missed.
Her calm and peaceful state, despite her mental fatigue, made her look like she was floating, but her body had to remain on the ground. Feeling something was wrong, she immediately opened her eyes again. Surprisingly, the floating sensation was still there, and she could feel it for sure.
It took her a while to realize that she was floating with a body that glowed white and was somewhat transparent. One silly thing, she saw her body in front of her.
'I'm really floating! But my body is there... Ooh! I can pass through my body! Eh? I could feel my body still breathing even though it was slowly getting weaker and weaker. I can feel she still me... So, what am I right now? Spirit or ghost?' Elysia wrestled with her own thoughts and examined a few things.
'At this rate, I'm sure I can kill the tiger without a dead end.' Elysia muttered with determination and conviction. She was content to fly here and there. Even her transparent self could touch physical objects if she wanted to do so.
Elysia accessed her [Space Storage] after hovering right next to the tiger. She passed through the tiger's body in search of its vital point.
When the target was found, she immediately took the Lv. 50 Dagger from [Space Storage] and stuck it right into the tiger's heart. She quickly removed the translucent effect of the dagger as soon as she released the dagger's grip. As a precaution, she also moved away from the tiger as quickly as possible.
In the tremendous shock, the tiger felt its heart pierced by a sharp object. The tiger roared loudly in pain from the painful internal wound before he fell helplessly and died.
'I'm sorry big tiger. Your presence really threatens my safety. I can only pray that your soul can rest in peace in the afterlife.' Elysia prayed for the tiger she had killed unjustly before returning to her body.
If the tiger could hear her thoughts at that time, the tiger would immediately scream and curse the cause of its unnatural death.
The tiger was a Spirit Beast with high intelligence. When the tiger was hunting in a new area, the encounter with a group of humans was shocking, but they only suddenly attacked.
Even though the tiger managed to kill several humans, the battle against the many humans forced the tiger to run away with serious injuries.
After running quite a distance, the tiger found a hidden cave near the valley. Without wasting any time, the tiger immediately went in to recuperate. Instead of recovering, the tiger was killed without knowing why or how.
The tiger would not rest in peace like Elysia's prayer if the tiger knew the cause of its death. Perhaps, the tiger would curse Elysia or something like that. Poor beast.

Chapter 6: Guardian Angel
Feeling safe after killing the beast, Elysia returned to her body which was still hiding in the blind spot in the corner of the cave. At the moment she is having another problem, she doesn't know how to get back into her body.
'I can't go back! How to! Will I be forever in a spirit form like this?!' Elysia frantically flew around aimlessly after trying many things to get back into her body. Initially, she was so excited but now she is so panicked, she can only pass through her body and touch her body without being able to return.
'Don't panic Ely... You can do it. Recall how you were able to change into this spirit form.' Elysia calmed herself, trying to remember the circumstances of why she could become her current form.
Elysia remembers that she calmed the whole state of her body and soul as if she were an inanimate object to avoid the beast finding herself, still alert while scanning her surroundings. After that, as if her body floated and gained enlightenment, her spirit left her body just like that.
Once again she tried to enter the previous state to get back into her body.
At present, she sits on the lap of her body and goes into the state she did before. After her body felt as if it had been enlightened as before, Elysia closed her eyes and seemed to be absorbed back into her body.
Even so, this time he still felt her body floating. Feeling something was wrong, she immediately opened her eyes. Shortly after she opened her eyes, she saw an endless vast universe, as if she were thrown into space.
Elysia saw that her hands were still shining white and rather transparent. 'Did I get into my body? But I'm still in the form of a spirit... After being stranded in the middle of nowhere, this time I was thrown into space?'
After muttering to that point, she looked around her that looked the same as vast outer space in her memory.
While looking around, Elysia was surprised to see a woman who was also rather transparent and floated like herself right on her right side, the woman was curled up while closing her eyes as if she were sleeping.
Surprised to see a figure right next to her, as if forgetting her transparent self.
"Ah! A ghost!"
The melodious voice ringing in that realm, that was the first word that Elysia uttered loudly from her mouth after being stranded into this world. Since she was in this body, she always mumbled in her mind and was very careful about her actions.
The woman who seemed to be sleeping immediately opened her eyes. Elysia could only curse her carelessness because of her shock.
But the woman's subsequent reaction actually made the nonexistent heart in Elysia's spirit form as if it stopped beating.
"Ahh! Where is the ghost!" The woman was shocked after waking up and caught Elysia's body in panic before hugging her tightly as if afraid of something.
"Wahh! The ghost caught me! Hmf..." Elysia who was trembling in fear because the figure she thought was a 'ghost' immediately grasped her body tightly, but not yet finished speaking. The 'ghost' immediately embraced her head and buried her face in two soft mountains.
"Wahh!!" The 'ghost' hugged Elysia's head so tightly in her breasts as if she was afraid of something.
Elysia seemed unable to breathe with reflexes patting the back of the 'ghost' to indicate she was in a difficult situation. But considering that she was still in spirit form and did not need to breathe, she felt a little relieved, so she stopped patting the back of the 'ghost' who was hugging her head tightly.
Recalling the one who hugged him was still a 'ghost', Elysia patted the back of the 'ghost' frantically.
After a few moments passed, and the two arms hugging her body did not have the slightest sign of loosening, Elysia who could not free herself became resigned to her fate as if she was suffocated to death.
A few moments later, the 'ghost' felt that there were no ghosts around her that scared her so much, she immediately opened her eyes and looked around to make sure there were really no ghosts.
After feeling that there is no one around her, the 'ghost' sees who she hugs tight with her face sinking in her breasts as if she was suffocated.
As if feeling guilty, the 'ghost' loosened her hug from Elysia's head, but still hugged Elysia's waist as if the 'ghost' was supporting a limp body so as not to fall.
"Um... Ah... I'm sorry, I thought there was a real ghost earlier." The 'ghost' immediately apologized after seeing Elysia's face so red because her face was long buried in the 'ghost' breast.
"En, I forgive you. Um... Can you release your hug from my body?" Elysia nodded slowly still with her red face.
"Um... Yes. Sure." The 'ghost' immediately released her hug and looked at the girl's entire body in front of her.
Elysia also looked at the 'ghost' in front of her. She is a very beautiful woman who is slightly taller than herself, long golden hair up to the back of her knees with a slight wavy style, bright golden eyes with unique patterns in her eyes, pale white skin like snow, and it is all slightly transparent with her body glowing in gold.
Elysia is still in her same form, a girl with pale white skin, long black hair straight up to the back of her thighs, purple-blue eyes, and also slightly transparent with her body glowing white.
They looked at each other while examining each other. The most striking difference from them is the color of white and gold including the clothes they are wearing.
"Um... May I know who you are?" Elysia felt a little awkward after staring at each other for a long time and began to open up the conversation.
"Sure! My name is... Eh? I can't remember it... I don't have a name?" The 'ghost' just turns to ask innocently.
"Err... Then how about I give you a name?"
"Then I allow you to give me a name."
Elysia thought for a moment in her mind. 'I'm not very good at giving names. In that case, try using my name as the root word. Elysia... Eli... Electra... Elena... Yes. Elena sounds good. Then I have decided.'
"Elena Avery, how does that sound? Do you like it?" Elysia asked the 'ghost' opinion first because she used her family name too.
"That sounds good and beautiful. I like it. I'll be named Elena Avery from now on!" Elena is happy and excited about her new name.
"It's good that you like it, my name is Elysia, Elysia Avery. Nice to meet you, Elena." Elysia smiled sweetly.
"En. Nice to meet you too, Ely." Elena has used a familiar name to herself.
"By the way, why do I feel that you are Ali? Can you tell me what happened?" After feeling happy because Elena had a friend to talk to after a long time, she suddenly became cold and isolated, as if her nature was just made up earlier.
Elysia was surprised that Elena knew her former identity as Ali, and felt that if she lied or could not answer to the woman in front of her, she would end up miserable. Therefore, she recounts all of her experiences in as much detail as possible from her still being Ali to what she is today.
"En. I know you are not lying. So, Ali is Ely now?" After hearing the story experienced by Elysia, Elena was able to ensure the girl in front of her was Ali who was always with her, and she immediately returned to her normal self.
"Um. You can say it like that. Then, it's your turn to tell about yourself." Elysia felt unfair after telling many things about herself, but she did not know anything about Elena.
"Alright then, where should I start. I don't know who I am and where I come from, I've been with Ali since he was born into the world and living in his soul realm, I know even more about Ali than himself..." Elysia listened patiently to Elena's long story with her long-awaited chirp, Elena really knew her inner and outer self first.
Feeling ashamed that the whole dark past, the embarrassing period, and even Elena knew more about Ali than herself. But Elysia focused on Elena's identity. "Are you my guardian angel who always looked after me when I was Ali on Earth?"
"Um... Maybe you can call me that, I've been with you since you were born and maybe I protected you because I was in your soul realm."
Elena's casual words sounded different to her. She always believes in her guardian angel who always takes care of her and the God who always shows the right path for her no matter how difficult it is. Elysia immediately hugged Elena's body tightly.
"Thank you for always protecting me. I don't care who you are and where you come from. All I know is that you are Elena, my guardian angel." Elysia said her gratitude seemed to come from the bottom of her heart.
Elena who knew why Elysia was so grateful to her, only smiled as she hugged back the body of the girl who hugged her body tightly.
"No, silly girl. Good people will always meet good people, and bad people will always meet bad people. What you have experienced before is only the right person in the wrong environment, you don't need to thank me."
"Um. But I still want to thank you for always being with me. Even though I can't see you, but I know you're there."
After a long period of isolation and heavy mental trauma, Ali had different perspective abilities. He is more aware of himself and the surrounding environment. In his various dark times, he always felt that there was a guardian angel who was always with him. Because of this, he fought hard against his fear of past experience because he realized that he was not destined to be like that.
Elena did not answer again and just received Elysia's gratitude, but she smiled and her eyes became warm as she saw Elysia who was still in her arms. Elena began stroking Elysia's hair as if trying to make her comfortable.
A man who has completely become a girl stranded in the middle of nowhere with her guardian angel without knowing anything.
