While Aster was watching the flames, his ears suddenly picked up on a rustling noise from the grass ahead of him.
"Hmmm?"
He quickly reached for his pistol, kept it ready, aimed forward, and waited for whatever was coming their way. His pulse was racing in anticipation of what was about to happen!
*Rustle!* *Jiggle~!*
And to his relief, it was just a few slimies, roughly three of them, hopping over to attack. Aster sighed before returning his gun back to its holster, pulling out his sword, and walking forward.
"There is no need to waste bullets against mere slimes."
With him being level 3 himself, he already was way more powerful than he was at level 1. Furthermore, due to their rushed hunting, he got the hang of Slime's movements, making it easy for him to catch them mid-jump, their most vulnerable moment.
*Stab!* *Slash!*
