’Since mana rampages through the body, it allows the body to get stronger. The body itself is the container of all stats; if the body gets stronger, then everything improves—even aura reserves, which are totally different from mana.’ Slime#47 realized as he opened his eyes to a flood of notifications.
Though he wasn’t sure about the will since his will stat was already strong from the beginning.
"I can take down the slime farm gang without the ritual if I can level up like this." He grinned, feeling happy that he would not need to depend on that eldritch anymore.
"Ouch..." He then broke into a cold sweat as he felt his body tremble in pain. When he glanced at himself, he noticed scars all over his body.
"Ahhh." He winced as he felt a jolt when he tried to move. He could only stay in one place, not moving an inch.
He entered a state of meditation to heal himself.
After a few hours, the pain had reduced, and he could tell his internals were healing as he felt less pain.
He opened his eyes as—Wob!—Elder Slime bounced near him.
"I have to heal these scars, or else..." he muttered, glancing at the sleeping Mama Slime.
In this loop, even if he was not smacked by her, he knew he would be done for if she saw Young Slime with scars. So he proceeded to cast, "Heal, heal."
Soon, days slipped by...
"Lightning Ball." Slime#47 cast the spell as a basketball‑sized lightning ball condensed into the world—ZZZ!
Boom!The barrier protecting the fence cracked a little.
[ Ding! Lightning Ball proficiency +1 ]
[ Ding! Lightning Ball leveled up to Lv.Max! ]
Wob!—He moved aside, bouncing away like nothing had happened.
’So easy... the advantage of having more mana reserves.’ He noticed the level‑up notification.
He had managed to level it up so quickly because he had more mana reserves than when he had trained Fireball and the others.
"You can proceed again tonight," Old Slime said bitterly. He did not know about Young Slime’s agony, but he had suffered a lot.
He had healed him with Heal while fainting multiple times in the night, but Slime#47 still had some scars remaining, which Mama Slime spotted. From then on, he was smacked left and right.
He had wanted to fight back, but ’She reminds me of her... I can’t fight back,’ he fumed inwardly.
"My injuries are healed. I can use that technique again," Young Slime said while checking himself. ’Hmm... totally cute blue body with no scars... not even a scratch left.’
He had rested for the past few days, allowing his body to recover. He noticed Old Slime being troubled by a Mama Slime, but he did not care and only watched them with a grin.
"By the way, Elder, why do you have scars all over your body?" he asked, wondering how those injuries appeared since no slimes had been harmed. ’How could he be injured when he was in the slime farm and could not escape...’
He’d been injured from performing that crazy technique, while Old Slime had not even had the resources to attempt it.
"It’s due to that farm woman. Don’t think she can slice our bodies without any pain. In fact, it’s just a technique... and she was not proficient in it..." Elder Slime snarled. "She trained that technique on me and a few. I could survive by healing myself, but the others..."
Young Slime sighed. ’I will let Elder get revenge on that lady this time...’ he decided.
In the past few days, when the owners spotted injuries on him, they peeked at him with interest but did not care.
"They might have felt I injured myself while playing," he muttered, glancing at the small spot hidden under the grass, where they had hidden their crystals.
Slime farm owners didn’t even care about them, much less check anything in the farm!

Early in the morning, Young Slime, who had fallen asleep after another torturous round of the crazy technique, woke up to, "AHHH, ahhh!"
He opened his eyes and noticed Old Slime running away from a furious Mama Slime, who rushed after him.
He did not care and opened his panel.

Soon, the days slipped by. The day the soldiers appeared was near.
[ Ding! Aura recovery leveled up to Lv.Max! ]
Slime#47 mediated as his red aura flared, healing all his injuries from using the Mana Torrent Refinement Technique.
Elder Slime couldn’t take it anymore, so he taught him that skill. Young Slime wanted to learn that skill after witnessing white horned wolf heal himself, but forgot due to other things.

[ Ding! Pick a safe spot! ]
[ Ding! You are evolving! ]
"Boss Slime..." Little Slime shouted nervously as he noticed Young Slime falling to the ground—Thud!
Wob!Everyone bounced near.
"Do not worry, he is just evolving," Elder Slime said to calm everyone.
