Human and the Tree (Part 1)

Looking around, to see only countless white slabs that hid hundreds of artifacts behind them, Adam slowly stepped forward.

"But... How? How does this work? Can ordinary people use artifacts?" Adam was stumped.

Refesa carelessly waved her hand heading along with Stina to the other room. It was dangerous for them to stay here, as it was only safe outside the White Cube. Unfortunately for Silvana, that option was not possible.

"I already told you that I'm just exploiting them. I'm not a Phantom, I can't absorb an artifact, bind it to the Evolution Tree, and use the abilities. Moreover, there are over a hundred artifacts here."

After a few seconds, Refesa continued:

"The process is long, as these artifacts have been completely depleted so that the energy within them won't cause anomalies, otherwise stability is out of the question. Anyway, don't worry, we'll be fine, the artifacts will absorb all your energy in the explosion."
