RUMBLE!
"W-What is that?!"
Elayne looked outside of the perimeter where they were, noticing dozens of her spiritual guardians battle some Dream Spirit beasts that had appeared.
Apparently, the smell of the meat must have attracted some of the predators, which were a pack of around fifteen giant, six-meter-tall, purple-colored wolves.
These wolves were encompassed by shadow auras resembling crimson eyes, and their own faces were actually eyeless, blind.
Her Spirit Guardians of Summer and Spring were fighting them relentlessly, unleashing beams of light, punching them, and creating barriers of light to stop them from advancing.
BOOOM! CLAAASH! RUMBLE!
The battle, nonetheless, was rather intense, these strange wolves were very eager to go grab a bite, and seemed to have been starving this entire time or something.
Elayne quickly summoned her phone into her hands, and used it inspect feature, or as she dubbed it, a "pokedex".

[Hundred-Eyed Violent Nightmare Wolf]
Classification: Dream Spirit Beast, Nightmare Spirit Beast, Wolf.
Danger Level: A+
Information: A nasty predator that stalks the woods of the Dream Spirit Forest in packs of up to thirty, they wander looking for prey, which they rapidly dispatch by ganging on their foes. They're known for targeting monsters much larger than them without issues and are smart enough to create strategies against their prey. Their one hundred eyes in their Nightmare Shadows help them see the world around them from every direction, making them the perfect predators.

"Oh wow those are deadly…" Elayne said.
"Should we go take care of them?" Mark wondered, taking out his blazing blade.
"Nah, my Guardians share my own avatar's stats too, so they should be able to take care of them eventually," Elayne nodded. "Also the Domain I created should protect us either way, so they can't really get here."
"A-Are you sure?" Rita wondered. "Maybe we should just go…"
"I'll bring my Familiars there, if they want their meal they should earn it," Elayne nodded. "Alright Silver, Goldie, Belle! Go take care of the annoying wolves!"
"MEEEHEEEHE!"
Belle was the first to leap into the skies, dashing through the empty air with lightning in her hooves, she landed in the middle of the battle, tackling one of the wolves with her golden horns.
BOOOM!
An explosion of lightning erupted from her strike, sending the wolf flying away and impacting on a nearby tree, destroying it in the process.
"Gryaaarrr!"
The wolf let out a painful yelp, as the rest of the wolves glared at Belle with great fury, roaring and showing their sharp teeth at her.
"ROOAARR!"
And then they roared at the same time, their Nightmare Shadow Auras emerging furiously, as countless beams of red light were fired at her!
However, Belle generated a shield of golden lightning, reflecting the beams back at them, bombarding them with electrified explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As this happened, she took a step forward, moving at lightning speed and appearing behind another wolf, hitting it with her mighty headbutt, and blowing it up into pieces by releasing so much lightning the entire wolf exploded.
BOOOM!
The rest of the wolves, furious, attacked her by leaping over her, moving as fast as possible, their giant claws overflowing with nightmare power to slash her!
And yet, Belle rapidly evaded the blows, zigzagging around them while moving at lightning speed, while her horn released thunderbolts everywhere around her.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Each thunderbolt that hit these wolves released a loud crashing sound, electrifying and burning their bodies.
They were very tough, however, managing to survive the lightning even though they took a lot of damage, attacking Belle by swinging their claws.
And yet…
"MEEEHEEE!"
With a loud roar, Belle's entire body turned gold, as electricity came out of every inch of her body, her golden horns glowing the brightest.
BOOOMMM!!!
A massive explosion of golden thunder erupted in the forest, shaking the surroundings, and leaving behind a small crater… where only Belle stood.
"…"
She looked around, noticing at least ten wolves were dead, the other five, wounded and terrified of her power, started to back off slowly, until they started running.
"Don't let them run! They might bring back more of their members."
With Elayne's command, Belle quickly reacted, releasing a thunder shock from where she stood, paralyzing the wolves in place for a couple seconds!
CRAAASH!
As that happened, Silver and Goldie, who were much slower than Belle's lightning speed, reached the wolves. Silver roared, opening their jaws and biting through the wolves' bodies, tearing them apart! Goldie, who didn't fight like that, dispatched the rest with sunlight beams, finishing the battle quickly.
"Well, we're done here, master! Can I go back to the spring waters? I didn't even finish washing myself! It was very refreshing as well…" Goldie complained.
"Fine, Goldie, you can return," Elayne nodded. "Spirit Guardians, bring me the corpses please."
As the food was almost ready, Elayne walked towards the forest while wearing a bikini this time, which she had stashed inside of her inventory.
There, she touched the corpses her spirits brought and stored them inside of her inventory, deciding to butcher the ones that didn't get torn to shreds.
"Hmm, this meat is very purple… And it has a liquor-like smell too, how weird."
As Elayne analyzed the raw wolf steak, which was much tender than she imagined, she called Morpheus to assess it for her.
"Morpheus! What about this meat?"
"That meat is… well, it seems more poisonous than the one you're cooking. The purple color it has must be nightmare miasma inside of the meat," Morpheus explained. "This was a monster more aligned to nightmare than pure dreams."
"So it's not edible?" Elayne looked disappointed.
"No, no, I think it should be edible either way, but it might have a more… well, a strong flavor and smell," said Morpheus. "To make sure it isn't as bad, let me clean the meat for you."
"Clean?" Elayne was confused, as Morpheus swung his scythe-like body, extracting the nightmare miasma from the meat, and giving it a much lighter purple color.
"There! That should make it edible."
