It's very dark here. Noctis and Sophia and Theresa were walking on a path with a high weed on his left-right. They rely on the light of the moon and stars for illumination. Fortunately, the location they were exploring was not a forest, so the trees did not block the light from the sky. But still, the atmosphere around them was very quiet and felt very gripping with just loneliness and those who went through the path.
“Ap-What ki-we did not misplace, Noctis? This place feels very quiet and gripping. W-What if a ghost suddenly appears and eats us from behind? Isn't this dangerous because your shadow manipulation can't be used when there are no shadows at all?” Theresa tremblingly embraced Noctis' right hand.
“You're too much, Theresa.” Noctis boredly pointed his pupils at Theresa. “First, I've made sure that we're in the right place now, so you don't have to worry about anything. Secondly, this has something to do with Elena's search, so you should be more enthusiastic about this. Third, we will indeed meet ghosts, so do not be surprised if there are ghosts that suddenly appear and surprise us.”
“Se-Scream…. I hope they are friendly and do not have a creepy form. I'm not strong with something creepy. I do love the atmosphere of the night because it feels winnable and mysterious, but different from something creepy. I'm bad at something like that.” Theresa got tighter in hugging Noctis' arm.
“Didn't you like bats as your favorite animal? For most people, bats are considered creepy creatures because they are active at night, which is associated with darkness. And because the element of darkness is considered something sinister in the kingdom of Pulcharsia, innocent bats are involved in becoming the dreaded animal,” Sophia flat said.
“U…. Don't say something like that, Sophia.” Theresa pointed her pouting face at Sophia. “Bats are cute because they are small. Also, they can fly without using their eyesight to know something is going on around them. Aye! Their echolocation ability is really cool when we think about it further.”
“Hah...” Noctis and Sophia sighed as Theresa began talking about this one animal - the bat -.
“Imagine it if anyone could feel something around him just from the sound. Wouldn't he be great at fighting for not having a blind spot? I was thinking, can I manipulate the organs around my ears to create the ability of echolocation, huh? B-But, if I do that, I will be too sensitive with the sound and will have trouble listening to the sound. Or, or should I just activate this in a fight and disable it while it's at peace? I think it's going to be something very interesting to learn.”
“Oh yes, Elena has a branching ability that can make her see places that cannot be seen with her eyes. Do not-don't it is also echolocation because it can also be used in dark places. Could it be that I can also use the same ability as Elena? The two of us who should be both humans should be able to share experiences when using skills, right?”
“Should have been, Elena could use her Telepathic abilities to enter the knowledge about using the Branching on me. If not mistaken, the target of Telepathy Elena would have a headache for a few moments in order to receive a large amount of memories in a short time. I shouldn't be a problem, since I have a very strong determination. It might be a little overboard for me, but I sure can receive a memory from a psychic.”
“Hei, Noctis. Are you sure the person we are going to this is a good person and it is fine to leave Elena's search to them?” Sophia looked at Noctis before continuing, “At this time we are in another world, more precisely in the village of GHAIB. The GHAIB village itself is a residence for ghosts or in the original spirit brackets of this world. Not only are their evolutionary ways different from ours, but they should have a language that is far different from ours, right?”
“Yap, I myself also agree with the one you just said.” Noctis folded his hands while nodding. “In our world, spirits have can control the same elements as the elements they have. But in this world, ghosts or spirits typical of this world have a skill with unique abilities, which even among the skills are very fraudulent.”
“Skill they have is usually considered by the name of supernatural talent. I myself have fought someone from this village who has a supernatural talent of dimensional manipulation just like me, but I am stronger and have many items that support my victory. You don't have to worry too much about whether we'll survive or not. I guarantee we'll all be safe,” he continued.
“Um, this village is very unique, yes.” Sophia looked up, in a night sky full of stars. “Padahan, in this world actually does not have natural energy, but especially this village is a source of natural energy in large quantities. The concentration of energy here is about 2x that of our village. My shadow is, the inhabitants of this village have a slightly unreasonable strength.”
“I told you we'd be safe, so we'd be safe. Most of the people in this village are friendly people. As long as you don't start something, they won't do anything bad to you. I myself even often receive a lot of souvenirs from them, then I give them to children in orphanages because it does not suit my taste,” said Noctis.
“By the way, Noctis. What kind of person are we gonna meet? I only know if we speak a different language and he is the one who will do anything as long as the job is halal and he gets paid. I can only guess if he must be a good person considering he only accepts halal jobs.”
“Hmm? Have you never met her before? Indeed, our first meeting with them was not peaceful. But still, the meeting ended peacefully. How could you forget what happened a few months ago?”
“Do-don't!” Sophia gasped to recall the user of the dimensional element she met with Elena a few months ago.
