Breno finished defeating his slime. He was about to attack the blue slime, but instead took a step back. He knew he was slower than Jair, so he stayed alert, keeping an eye on the blue slime. While Jair was keeping an eye for an opportunity, he noticed Nero.
Nero was trying to kill the pink slime she was fighting. She reacted slowly, but it was just enough to kick the slime, killing it.

"Urgh! In the end, I couldn't beat him using my hands." Nero thought, "I'm glad it worked using my feet."
Nero looked at the others. She saw Choko sidestepping the blue slime's attacks. Jana kept firing fire arrows and fire balls, but the blue slime learned from Jana's previous attack. It changed its shape every time one of them was about to land a hit. Breno was looking for an opening between those strikes looking for an opportunity. She was surprised to see it was managing to stay alive after taking all those hits previously.
Walking towards the two Slimes she had killed, Nero put her hand on one.

When he finished looting the Slime items, Nero went to the other one. She didn't bother in wanting to help them since she knew that her strength itself was of no help against this Blue Slime.
Arriving in front of the other Slime she defeated, she put her hand on top.

Like Jair, Nero also sat down and watched them fight. Choko and Breno were level five,while Jair and Jana were on level four. But since Jana was a magician who attacked from afar, she could give them good support.
Seeing that they weren't looking at her. Nero's got the level 3 monster core.

'Hrm... I may become addicted to this sense of increased attributes.' Nero who spent the whole time being treated like a girl, ended up doing it herself.
In the end, now that was a fact. The attribute increase was now a part of her and since it felt good, was it really that bad to be addicted to it?
Looking through her inventory, Nero saw that she still had four more level two monster cores.
Nero put her hand in the slot with the cores and took one out.

"Mn." Nero exclaimed in his heart, "I feel great now!"
Looking in their direction fighting, Nero realized they were about to defeat it.
Breno cut off the retreat while Choko pressed forward. The blue slime could barely dodge their advance. In the end, it ended up dying from a fire arrow piercing through its body. It was a great display of teamwork.
This Blue Slime for being more special, it was also bigger than most of the others. The circumference must be between 120 to 125 centimeters.
Those three were panting. They fell to the ground out of exhaustion next to Jair. The smiles on their faces couldn't be hidden.
"We did it!" Choko raised her hands in the air as she lay on the ground.
"Yeah." They agreed happily.
Although they were a little hurt, they didn't worry about it, after all, it's not everyday that they're able to meet an elemental monster.
"You must be tired, right?" A voice echoed: "Let me plunder this elemental monster for you. Hahahaha!"
"You bastard, what do you think you're doing?" Jana shouted when she saw a man show up and stand in front of the blue slime.
"Don't think that just because we're tired, we won't be able to defeat you." Threatened Jair.
But in the end, they were very tired and hurt from their fight.
"Hahahaha." Instead of being scared, or angry, he started laughing and said, "You can't fool my eyes, I can tell you don't have much strength left, only this girl is in her best condition."
He said pointing to Nero, "But still, she seems to be on a very low level, she's not on my level." He mocked and picked up a card wanting to loot the blue slime.
Nero was irritated by this, she herself saw how much they suffered to achieve this conquest, but someone wants to steal their spoils?
Taking a sharp stone out of her inventory. Nero threw it at this man, wanting to hit his chest and frighten him, but the stone went towards the man's head.
"Huh?" The man was disbelief when he saw this. He wanted to mock her foolishness. Who was she to think that she could defeat him who was level four with only one stone? For him he was unable to as the speed of the stone thrown, was too fast for him to dodge.
The stone had already gone through the man's head, killing him!

"But... what?" Nero, however much she found the actions of this man unpleasant; she did not want to kill him; she had never killed anyone before in her life.
That moment her heart dropped and her face automatically turned pale white. Even whiter than it used to be. She started vomiting a lot, she couldn't hold back this feeling.
"I... I killed a person?" Nero wondered in panic.
In the end, it overloaded her mind, she passed out.
"Nero!"
They were also surprised, but soon they realized that Nero had fainted. Only then were they able to react.
Choko, who was the first to approach said, "She's fine, it must have just been a shock for her to have killed someone."
They sighed with relief with a strange feeling. They felt warm in their hearts that Nero was angry for them, but they felt pity that she killed that man.
"What should we do?" Jana asked helplessly, as they had never been in this kind of situation. They hadn't been hunters for long and neither have they ever killed someone before.
Taking a deep breath, Breno said: "In the end, this man was trying to steal our spoils. It may be a little cruel, but he deserved to be killed."
"Yeah." Choko said, "Let's just bury his body. I'm worried about Nero."
"Yeah." Jair said, "Let's do it."
