Chapter 101: Mama Tiger
The observation lasted for a moment. As Elysia focused on Vanessa"s spherical life energy, a status screen immediately appeared right beside it.
[| Lv. 155 | LE: 360,000 (90%) |]
"Huh? LE? Life Energy? Can I see a different status screen on spherical life energy? Hmm..." Elysia mumbled blankly in her mind, then tried to focus on soul wisp and Vanessa"s spirit, but what she got was the same status screen she had seen before.
"Arara~ Isn"t that just the sum of the maximum capacity of HP and EP? Lil Ely, if you want to restore Vanessa"s status to the state when we met her for the first time, then this LE has to be 400,000." Elena commented on what Elysia saw with their linked vision.
"How are we supposed to do that? What we are going to do will be against the laws of the world. Is it possible we can do it?" Elysia felt a little worried.
"We came to this world also against the laws of the world. No normal person can explain why and how. According to the theory that we have obtained, if life energy is the fuel of life to support living things to live naturally and eroded over time... Then, the common way to increase life energy is to level up. Maybe the best way we can do is increase it by transferring life energy."
"If we consider it as fuel, it means that there is a maximum limit of the tank. 90% of this, huh? I just need to fill this 10%... Can I transfer my life energy to Vanessa to make it back to normal, Sister Elena?" Elysia considered what she would do.
"Why not just leave it alone and make Vanessa level up with an energy core or play in a place with a rich magical energy density? Why are you so thoughtful and uneasy because of this?" Elena spoke while styling Elysia"s spirit hair in the Soul Realm, just like her doll.
"It would leave a bitter taste in my mouth if I just let it go. I feel responsible because Vanessa has been tied to me all her life as a contracted beast. So, can I transfer my life energy to Vanessa?" Elysia asked for permission like a little child.
She didn"t know she was no longer in that sacred state anymore, and her eyes began to dim and returned to normal.
"I don"t like it and don"t support it. Every living thing of a different kind must have a different life energy composition, similar to vehicles with different engines and fuel. Why not take a look at your own life energy first? I"m a little curious." Elena gently smiled when Elysia asked her permission before deciding. She had been considered so crucial to Elysia that it could have happened.
Elysia once again went into a sacred state like before. She focused on herself just like she would see her own status screen but concentrated on the spherical life energy in her upper dantian.
[| Lv. 21 | LE: 4,500e+9 |]
"Oh, my G.o.d! Lots of numbers! Just like my EP? If my life energy is this much, won"t I become an immortal old granny in a teenager"s body in the future?" Elysia mumbled silly when she saw her own life energy status. Elena coughed when she heard that, then she burst out laughing when she imagined it could happen.
"Well, I"ve satisfied my curiosity. If you want to restore Vanessa"s life energy to normal, Lil Ely. You better look for a Spirit Beast with a similar type to her. Tigers or other types of cats can be found in this vast forest. At that time, we can practice the way of transferring life energy." Elena wiped the few tears on the corners of her eyes after laughing happily.
"Um, I"ll do it. Thank you. By the way, what are you doing, Sister Elena? why did you style my spirit in a braided crown hairstyle?"
"Don"t you look really pretty in this hairstyle? Like a queen in a fairy tale book hehe..." Elena giggled as she examined her work. She felt that she had mastered hairstyling techniques like a professional.
"Em, yes. Very." Elysia only agreed and then came out of the sacred state to see Vanessa still sitting relaxed like a good tiger. Still, the white tiger seemed to be looking at her face in confusion.
"What have you noticed, Vanessa?"
"Ah, no. It"s just that your eyes were shining when you asked me to stay still and not move for some time." Vanessa immediately stood up.
"Shining? Hmm..." Elysia thought back to that. Perhaps, it happened because she used her eyes to see things that couldn"t be seen. But, she didn"t linger in those thoughts any further.
"Let"s go, Vanessa. We need to find a tiger or other cat race at the Spirit Beast level in this forest." Elysia stood from a large rock that served as a seat.
"This time, let me carry you, master. Get on my back."
Elysia immediately sat down on the white tiger"s back. Then, they flew into the air at low alt.i.tudes because they were looking for something. They were still in an invisible incognito mode just to be safe.
At that time, above them was only the night sky without the twilight. It was only the moon illuminating like dim lights in the dark forest. After flying aimlessly for several hundred kilometers from their take-off point, Elysia sensed a tiger was within her monitoring zone.
Vanessa immediately landed at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters from the target. Her master descended from her back to walk towards the target, right after her master withdrew their invisible mode. She was asked not to go there first on her master"s orders because it would scare off the tiger and make the target feel threatened.
She sat on the ground and saw her master slowly walking away, then disappeared because the shrubs, leaves, and trees were blocking the view.
On top of the hill, a large tiger laid comfortably. The tiger seemed to be lazing around in its safe area regardless of the world.
Elysia walked over without any ill intent and had no malice. This succeeded in preventing a warning to the tiger about the presence of her, who was approaching silently.
[| Lv. 145 | Spirit Beast | Golden Tiger | HP: 195,000 / 195,000 | EP: 99,300 / 99,300 |]
"Excuse me, can we talk? I mean no harm and have no ill intentions." Elysia checked the status of the golden tiger then slowly greeted the tiger, who seemed to be sleeping
That succeeded in making the tiger who was just lying down lazily to open her eyes. The tiger immediately looked at the human not far away from her with a little surprise, but it didn"t take long to find out what the human said was true. That human girl really had no ill will towards her or her baby.
"Human girl, what do you want by entering my territory? Haven"t I made many signs with prohibitions like humans being banned from entering this restricted area? Can"t you read the writing of the glorious me? Wait, my territory is far from human civilization, and how did you come here?"
As usual, Spirit Beasts did possess intelligence, sufficient to speak and make their decisions with quite common sense. Not to mention, most of the Spirit Beasts scattered on the Human Continent were the descendants of the contracted beast.
After that, Elysia saw a tiger cub near the big tiger. It looked like this golden tiger was a mama tiger. She a.s.sumed it in her mind.
The tiger was reluctant to attack the human girl even though this human girl was presumptuous enough to enter her territory. It was because she did not feel threatened by this frail little girl who did not have any evil or bloodthirsty aura. Despite the fact she was protecting her baby tiger, she didn"t really want to move from her lying position at all.
"Err... Mama Tiger, can we make a mutually beneficial exchange? I have an attractive offer for you. Can you please listen to this frail little girl?" Elysia pleasantly smiled as if she were a marketing expert in that area.
