After the Slime leader died, the number of Slimes here dropped a lot—there weren't even five hundred thousand left.
It was clear Johnnie couldn't finish Stage 6, The Mage of the Five Elements, in a short time.
He wasn't in a rush, though. First, he would deal with Mountain Hunter.
The team moved quickly through the mountain forest and re-entered Mountain Hunter's territory.
No monsters showed up around them.
"Humans, why are you here again?" came Mountain Hunter's voice. They had been noticed the moment they stepped in.
A huge black bear appeared right after.
Nalorin Sylvia frowned and stepped in front of Johnnie. She whispered, "Master, this guy got stronger."
Johnnie gave a small nod. He felt it too.
Last time, this black bear had just stepped into Half-God.
Now its aura was clearly stronger. So their guess had been right—it could absorb Slime goo to grow in power.
Even so, Mountain Hunter was far weaker than the fused Slime leader.
