Elysia had disguised herself and Vanessa with her magic until they made it through the southern main city gate without anyone knowing.
Aeddoterra City in the Holy Central Region was equipped with an anti-intruder security system that would activate. The specific hidden weapon would shoot down anything if it was at a certain height and had magic energy.
Even though her magic was unique and looked great, Elysia didn't want to risk being shot down just because she wanted to try it. She didn't even dare to test it.
The security systems implemented by the Holy Church were already installed in several important cities on the Human Continent. These cities with an advanced security level only allowed access in and out of the city from the land. Anyone had to pass through one of the main city gates.
'Sister Elena, where are we going to do research and experiments regarding life energy?' Elysia asked the person she could rely on and trust the most in her mind.
'Go to the southwest of this continent. Avrora Forest is the best place for us to do research.' Elena answered while checking towards the back, towards the city that was slowly looking small as Elysia immediately flew into the sky.
They said nothing else after that. Elysia simply increased her speed drastically to the speed of light. While curled up in her master's arms, Vanessa closed her eyes, a compelling way to protect herself from seeing the breakneck speed.
She just thought they'd reached a part of Avrora Forest in a second or an instant. Even though they actually only spent no more than two nanoseconds, they just didn't know it and took it that way.
After that, Elysia flew somewhere in the forest and landed there, a place where she felt everything had matched her heart and hunch.
'Vanessa, we've arrived at a safe place.' Elysia stroked the white cat, who was curled like a ball in her arms.
'Mew?'
The white cat moved her body to look here and there. They had arrived in a forest lit by the twilight and moonlight. She immediately jumped down and sat on a large rock.
'Well, now we can speak freely. Can we play it honestly and see what happened? I'm worried about what Grandpa said regarding lifespan, life energy, and healing magic. Because of you, Vanessa. You know what I mean?' Elysia smiled softly and then sat beside Vanessa.
'Master, are you worried about me? Because of the words from the Pope regarding the reality of the healing magic?' The white cat tilted her head while looking at her master.
While in the Deacon class at the Holy Cathedral, her master asked her a few things to confirm something, and then her master made a request. They needed to investigate the life energy and its effects on the lifespan of the living creature.
'Yes, I have seen your HP and EP. It shrank by half from the initial value when we first met.'
Seeing her master nodded lightly with a weak smile, she knew very well her master was anxious about her. Her master also felt guilty about the healing magic to save her from the death door.
Vanessa didn't know what HP and EP meant, but she did understand about the value that had shrunk by half. So now, she was only with half her original life energy, and half of her life span had already been lost? But she didn't feel anything was wrong...
The white cat pondered for a moment and her current form came out as the answer to that question in her mind. Could it be that her HP and EP would fall if she used this winged tiger's signature shrinkage form, and it was mistaken by her master?
'Master, is it possible that if I use this cat form, it will fall... Err... HP and EP? What is that?'
'Hmm... HP is Health Point, and EP is Energy Point. Is that possible, Vanessa? Try to return to your original form. I want to be sure.' Elysia answered and placed her hand on her lap.
Vanessa immediately jumped from the big rock to the ground. She took a little distance to change her form back to her original form as a winged tiger.
The body, legs, tail, head were all enlarged and followed by more dense fur. Then, two distinctive wings elongated on either side of her body. The white cat that was initially no more than half the size of a sleeping pillow soon became a huge tiger the size of a car with a length of five meters.
'I'm ready, master. Take a look at my HP and EP.' Vanessa stretched for a moment then turned to face her master.
[| Lv. 155 | Spirit Beast | Vanessa | Heavenly Winged Tiger | HP: 223,200 / 223,200 | EP: 136,800 / 136,800 |]
'Eh? Different again? It wasn't like that when she was in the form of a cat. Is what Vanessa said really true? Her HP and EP do shrink when she becomes a cat.'
Elysia muttered after focusing a little on the white tiger so that she could see Vanessa's status. Not to the tiger who blinked her eyes while waiting patiently but to Elena in the Soul Realm.
'From the initial value, this has shrunk by ten percent. But when we examined Vanessa in her cat form, it had shrunk by fifty percent from the original value. What is going on?' After she linked her vision with Elysia, Elena also muttered cluelessly.
'How is it, master? Right, has it changed?'
'Yes, it has changed again. When calculated with the initial value, it is now only ten percent lower than the initial value. I don't know what happened. Vanessa, how long will the Beast live if it's on your level?' Elysia nodded at the tiger, who was starting to worry.
'Hmm... Uncertain and diverse, perhaps a Spirit Beast can live for four hundred to five hundred years.' Vanessa thought for a moment before answering.
'Lil Ely, lifespan is none of our business. It is a thing that always changes depending on life energy. Take a deep look into Vanessa with your advanced perception. Maybe we can find life energy.' Elena suggested gently with essential points.
'Vanessa, please don't move yet, okay? There's something I want to check.'
'Sure.' Vanessa immediately sat on the ground while waiting.
Elysia did what Elena suggested, but what she saw was a flow of magical energy, blood circulation, flesh, internal organs, and bones. She did not find anything resembling energy other than dark blue magic energy that continued to flow throughout Vanessa's body. It was concentrated in three dantian parts.
'Sister Elena, I didn't find anything.' After checking for some time, Elysia was starting to be unsure of what she was looking for.
'Hmm... According to Pope Alexander, life energy will probably be like a soul. That means he can see someone's soul? Try to get into a state where you will become a spirit form but don't leave the body. Maybe you will be able to see it.' Elena thought somewhat profoundly with the most probable predictions.
Elysia tried one more time, but after calming herself down to a state where she was disconnected from world affairs and did not weigh anything on her mind. The same technique she used when she was in a cave with lots of Aurora Crystals.
She opened her eyes again with glorious eyes. Strangely, this time she could see a dark blue soul wisp on Vanessa's middle dantian. Elysia tried to look inside. She could see a little white tiger spirit inside the soul wisp, and the little white tiger spirit was curled up asleep... The same state as Elysia and her spirit in the Soul Realm.
After that, she tried to find the so-called life energy from Grandpa Alexander's hypothesis presented this afternoon. Right on the upper dantian, she could see a very stable spherical energy mass with a mixture of white, blue, and purplish colors. Life energy was scattered throughout the body in a very subtle, almost invisible stream.
'Is this spherical life energy?' Elysia muttered in her mind, both complicated and happy that she finally found what she was looking for.
Elysia had absolutely no idea, and neither did Elena. They didn't know about Elysia's eyes glowing faintly with the same color as her irises.
