"You're not getting away."
A dark and cruel voice echoed within the busy streets of the city, as darkness and crimson energy stretched across several meters, resembling an endless black shroud.
It continuously chased a little silhouette, not bigger than a child on their seven years of age, made completely out of golden light.
Normal people couldn't notice them, not even the Awakened.
BAAAM!
A giant claw made of this darkness quickly attempted to grab the small silhouette as it flew away with tiny, feathered wings, only to hit the ground, the impact alone leaving several cracks on the concrete.
"Eep!"
The little creature of light kept flying away, but they couldn't sustain their own power enough, there were several wounds spread across their body, malicious energies seeping within and weakening them, sealing their powers away.
"Urgh…! I'm too wounded…!"
As it flew and left a trail of golden light behind, their persecutor kept chasing them, drawing closer a sit moved amidst the shadows and the crimson energies.
The silhouette of a tall man emerged amidst the enshrouding darkness, his eyes shining with bright, malicious crimson light.
"You cannot keep escaping, my little prey." He spoke with a malicious voice. "Your soul and your divinity… I'll devour it all!"
He suddenly grew several times larger, the darkness reaching the little light even faster, countless claws and enormous wolf-like jaws emerged from within them!
CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!
The little light was agile, quickly evading the attacks with whatever strength it had left, but its chaser only grew closer, their malicious intents set on devouring them!
"[B-Blinding Light]!"
Mustering the rest of their energy, a blinding shine of light emerged from their tiny hands. The light quickly blinded their chaser, forcing them to step back, their shadows disintegrating when touching the light.
FLAAASH!
"How dare you continue fighting back! You damn pathetic little…!"
The malefic being quickly resumed his chase once more, however, the little light was already quite far from him, moving across many streets, asking for help, but never getting an answer from any people.
"I-It's as my siblings warned me… Nobody can see us!" They cried, suddenly noticing something.
FLAAASH!
A powerful divine and spiritual aura surged a few meters away from them, overflowing with a familiar warmth, the warmth of their siblings.
"A-A sibling is there?! And a rather strong one!"
"FOUND YA!"
However, before the little light could begin flying away, several tentacles made of darkness and crimson energies emerged around them, grabbing one of their wings and tearing it apart!
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
"Gyaaarrgh! No… I don't want to die!"
The little light screamed in agony, crying tears of fear and regret of having decided to run away from its siblings after their battle against their enemies seemed hopeless.
Those that they used to regulate and defeat easily were now becoming incredibly strong out of nowhere, easily overpowering the Celestial Soldiers.
"COME HERE!"
The darkness roared, its entire body suddenly splitting into dozens of black wolves, chasing the little light as it barely could float with a single wing, the wound left from their wing being torn apart was constantly bleeding a golden liquid.
"A-Almost there…! I'm almost there…!"
The little light kept flying, drawing closer to the house it had sensed one of their siblings living, a very strong one at that.
"Who is living here…?!"

(Elayne's POV)
The Voice of the World resonated within my mind and well, even my entire body. It felt as if her words were absolute, my strength rose as it spoke.
[Your Physique has absorbed the Available Materials.]
[It has evolved from [Spirit Tree Maid] Physique to [Holy Dragon Tree Princess] Physique: Tier 2: Rank 3!]
[Your Physique has gained 300 Spirit Runes and 300 Angelic Runes]
[1 Angelic Rune = 10 Holy Light, Life, and Soul Runes]
[Your Physical Strength, Agility, Toughness, Movement Speed, Magical Capacity, and Maximum Mana have greatly increased.]
[Your [Connection] between your Body and your Avatar have strengthened. You can now harness a larger part of your Avatar's Stats and Skills.]
[You have developed a [Lesser Angelic Halo], you can now wield Celestial Energy.]
[By slaying demons and absorbing malice, alongside doing good deeds, the stronger your Angelic Halo will become, cultivating your strength as a Fledgling Angelic Being!]
[The higher the Rank of your Angelic Halo becomes, the more Angelic Runes and Celestial Energy you will again.]
[You learned the following engraved Physique Techniques: [Angelic Blessing], [Heaven's Sword], [Heavenly Light Protection], [Holy Yggdragon Transformation]!]
The Runes across my body arranged into new Techniques, they were only four this time, but each one was incredibly strong. And it also felt like my previous, weaker techniques could be strengthened by fusing their effects with these new ones.
But well, a lot happened! So now I'm an Angelic being?! Are you kidding me? I didn't know Angelina's materials would cause such a change! Or maybe I was already compatible?
There's now Angelic Runes, which have strengthened my power a lot, and I can gain more by slaying… demons, absorbing malice, and doing good deeds.
Whew… That's something.
But also, because of this upgrade, the Stats and Skills of my Avatar can be harnessed to a greater extent! So that's a nice thing too.
"Congrats, you've truly become an Angel now, Elayne." Giggled the Great Spirit. "I always knew you were too good and nice for this world! Alright, time to go to the church."
"Eh?! No way…" I sighed, feeling disheartened.
"Hahaha, I'm joking! Praying will not make you stronger, don't worry. But blessing and helping others might." She nodded. "Your Halo is too weak right now, but it can grow stronger as it advances through different Angelic Ranks, you will also undergo Evolutions too. Well, isn't this unique compared to your Avatar?"
"I don't know if I should like this or not, to be honest…" I lamented. "But… let's see the positive side of things! New power! With this I can help my friends and protect my family better-"
KNOCK, KNOCK!
"Please… sister… brother! Help me!"
Suddenly, the voice of a little girl… or boy echoed outside the door.
