The slime was gaining on them! They were trying to run as fast as they could, but the slime was there! Right behind them!
It was no ordinary slime, Adam knew. He also knew the name of this species.
It was the primordial soup!
He had asked an instructor in the academy, once, why the primordial soup was called that. The answer he had gotten had shocked him to the core!
That slime ate other slimes!
It did it so that it could become bigger, and stronger, and faster, and jump…
The slime, as if reading his thoughts, jumped right before them.
Telets was already aiming at it as it did so. His exploding arrow flew down where the slime had once been.
Exploding, taking out so many slimes that had they all been the only thing populating this floor, Adam would have cheered!
"Tom," the boy was a mana battery. They all knew it.
