"Yes," Cleo replied brightly. "I can switch freely between my original form and a human child. I can accompany you from now on."
Mary's eyes lit up. "That's great. If one energy stone could upgrade the mindscape this much, then I need to find more as soon as possible. With you helping me, it'll be much easier."
Cleo shook her head. "Energy stones are extremely rare. The resources of this plane are very limited. This time, the mindscape didn't only absorb the energy stone. It also absorbed a top-grade black crystal stone… and something else from the other box."
Mary's heart skipped. "Top-grade black crystal stone? And the other box was absorbed too?"
She immediately summoned the two safes with her mind.
The first safe appeared. When it opened, there was nothing inside except a pile of fine gray powder.
