At the same time that the group of humans finished recovering and began to explore the mountain range in search of different slimes and other monsters that happened to interest the group of slime enthusiasts, Scaly slowly woke up feeling like her entire body had been rolling down a mountain filled with sharp stones.
However, outside of the pain that was still present and hadn't disappeared like it would after she woke up after one of her evolutions, Scaly also noticed that the mana inside her body seemed to have changed compared to the past.

This… Did I perhaps succeed?!
