After Frost's defeat, Partner and Lucifer quickly went back to their normal forms, and so did Maria's Ego which appeared in front of them slightly smaller. It seems that overusing her own powers also made her reduce her own size temporarily, but nothing like a few Mana Potions couldn't resolve.
"Are you two alright now?" Maria wondered.
"Yeah, I am fine… Hahh…" Lucifer quickly went back to his humanoid form.
"Uuuggh… I am so hungry… That damn monster was really such a tough nut to crack! And the worst is that he didn't even left a bit of meat or blood behind to eat!" Partner angrily said.
"Hahaha, here." Maria said, opening her inventory and quickly offering Partner a big sandwich made using monster meat from the Swamp Dungeon , alongside a bottle of new blood she got from Zero's corpse. "This should fill your stomach for the moment."
"Ahh, this sandwich is so tasty, and this blood so rich! Where did you get it?!" Partner was surprised.
