Nero, The Legendary Hunter

In fact, Nero wanted to buy all the skill books and hand-to-hand spells associated with the magician class. She knew she had to buy some things, but she also knew they were very expensive. She still remembers seeing the cheapest items for sale for 5,000 [Essence Coin].

\'Maybe in the future, it won\'t seem so expensive.\' Nero told herself. Even now that she had made a total of 31,318 [Essence Coin], she was not willing to spend on skill books and spells. She at least hoped to get a little more than that before buying any.

Nero was silent for a while until she decided to use <Absorb> on the Level 5 Monster Cores. If Choko didn\'t manage to level up, it would be easy to get more. She just needed to lure monsters with the smell of barbecue and hide so they wouldn\'t run away when she saw them. Setting some traps would also be a good idea...

So Nero opened her inventory and took the 6 level 5 Monster Cores.

Although not entirely satisfied, Nero was happy that the status increase was more significant when using a Level 5 Monster Core.

"Big Blue, come back," Nero ordered.

[Water Monster [Mutant Turtle] Level F: Level 6 - Returned to the Summons Room.]

_ _

Nero then summoned Slime.

_ _

[Plant Monster [Demonic Acid Slime] Level F: Level 4 - Summoned!]

_ _

Nero removed the old assassin woman\'s corpse from her inventory and saw that Choko was not finished absorbing the Monster Cores yet and went behind the tent and made the Demonic Acid Slime absorb the old assassin.

Demonic Acid Slime crept up to the old assassin woman and began to absorb her entire body. Because of the gelatinous body of Demonic Acid Slime, the body ended up floating in the middle of Slime\'s body.

- One hour later…-

_ _

Demonic Acid Slime has evolved!

Demonic Acid Slime is now: Goblin Demonic Slime Level 5.

_ _

A pair of big round green eyes was the first thing Nero noticed. After, she saw that Slime took the childish form of a girl who looked somewhat like an elf with pointed ears. Everything on her body was green, and the bones she had dissolved could no longer be seen. The skin layer, or better green goo, was no longer transparent; it was a more solid substance. She had short hair that went to the shoulder and her size reached around 150 cm. Her arms were large, out of proportion to the body, to the point of dragging on the floor and looking like goo.

Demonic Goblin Slime was naked, and only a small volume on her chest was visible. Nero had no clothes that could fit her, so she took just an overcoat and put it on the body of the Demonic Goblin Slime, who obediently did not move while Nero dressed her in the overcoat, which looked more like a dress on her.

"Can you speak?" Nero asked and saw the Demonic Goblin Slime shaking her head in denial. "Do you understand what I say?" Neo saw her nod in confirmation.

"Good!" Nero wanted to be able to converse with the Demonic Goblin Slime but was happy to know that she understood what she was talking about. For now, it was enough.

"Is it possible to see the status of my contracted monsters?" Nero murmured doubtfully.

- -

[Do you want to see the status of the contracted monster: Demonic Goblin Slime - Yes / No]

[Yes] - Nero clicked.

"Wow! It worked..." Nero murmured in surprise. She then saw a skill of which she had been unaware. \'Poison Curse...\'

Nero wanted to try it. She looked at the Demonic Goblin Slime and ordered her to use the <Poison Curse> on a tree not far away.

Demonic Goblin Slime walked awkwardly since she was not used to walking, and when she came close, her hand that dragged on the ground went towards the tree like a jet of water. Seconds later, the Demonic Goblin Slime brought the arm back and Nero saw the tree being corroded by something green. It looked like acid, but not completely; it was possible to see something like bubbles and poisonous smoke, and the tree was slowly rotting until the poison curse lost its effect, but it was enough that the tree would break after a few seconds.

"Very good!" Nero applauded. It would be very good in a fight, mainly to leave a negative effect that would start to eat away at the target.

Nero walked over to Luna and wanted to see her status.

"Huh?" Nero rubbed her eyes, thinking she couldn\'t see well. She had now noticed that Luna had many abilities - two attacks and two passives. And now she understood why Luna liked the moon so much: her skills were related to the moon.

Despite being very curious about Luna\'s skills, which she didn\'t even know Luna had, Nero made the Demonic Goblin Slime go back to the summoning room and called Big Blue back.

_ _

[Plant Monster [Demonic Acid Slime] Level F: Level 5 - Returned to the Summons Room.]

_ _

Then she summoned Big Blue.

"Mm, to have been unaware of this is really a loss. I didn\'t even realize that Big Blue would have so many skills..." Nero was happy to have discovered this early.

Big Blue\'s attributes were within her expectations. She was physically strong but also had considerable magical strength.

"Nero! I got it! I leveled up!" Choko\'s voice echoed and Nero looked in the direction of her voice. Choko was running towards Nero and suddenly came up and hugged her.

However, Choko\'s face grew pale, and she pulled away and was about to throw up. Knowing she could be experiencing the same thing as Nero, she moved a little further away, as she was very close to the tent, and threw up a lot of brown goo.

Just like Nero when she had vomited, Choko felt lighter and more powerful, however, her expression was not very good because of the bad taste in her mouth. She took a bottle of water out of the Hunter Card and drank a lot.

Nero approached her and hugged her. "I\'m glad you managed to level up."

"Yes, thank you. It\'s all thanks to you, Nero." Choko almost cried. She was thrilled; leveling up so fast was almost like a dream.

Choko took a deep breath and said as she reluctantly moved away from Nero\'s arms, "In fact, there is one Monster Core left."

"You can keep it. It is no longer useful to me," Nero said. This was true. It was no longer useful for her to use to level up. At most, it would raise her status a tiny bit.

"Ah yes, I still haven\'t seen my current status," Choko remembered and took out her Hunter Card and started to scan her body. Then, information about her soon appeared on the Hunter Card.

"And your skills, did you gain any?" Nero asked.

"Yes, one. I\'ll show you," Choko said and clicked on the skills part.

[Gauntlet Skill] (Passive) Level 4

[Stamina] - (Passive) Level 2

[Striking Strike] Level 3

[Storm Kick] - Level 2

"Flaming Impact is your new skill?" Nero asked.

"Yes, from the information I received, this ability has fire properties. When I use it, it will generate fire and burn the spot that I hit. It can also be used over a long distance, however, the damage is reduced," Choko explained.

"I see... It seems to be a good skill," Nero smiled.

"Yes, I am very happy about it." Choko smiled back.

"Well, what do you think about me helping you clean up, and you helping me? I\'m feeling uncomfortable, especially after leveling up," Nero suggested.

"It is an excellent idea.. I feel the same way too," Choko agreed immediately.
