"Wait, you're saying that all 3500 rocks are spiritual rocks?" Mareona asked.
The old lady nodded.
"Wow, Aldred. How did you do it?"
"I have good pair of eyes." He smiled.
"So what do we do now?" Bartrem asked.
"The reason I told you to collect these rocks is to prepare you for the next stage. It might be your last challenge, but whether or not that's true, I don't know for sure the test will be harder than anything you have ever seen."
"What effect do these rocks have?" Aldred asked.
"It will empower you just like that golden hot bath. The more spiritual rocks you have, the more powerful the effect will be."
Everyone gasped when they heard that. The golden hot bath made them far stronger than they truly were. Some people even got their strength doubled because of that.
The old lady snapped her fingers, and all the spiritual rocks were crushed into green energy. This energy then shot to their owners ' body, and inserted themselves to every cell.
