Alaric had 7 slime cores in front of him, harvested from the overpopulated rank 1 slimes surrounding the village announcement stage. Of course, he distanced himself and the slime he planned to evolve from the village. A slime's evolution method should be a closely guarded secret.
'This time, I'll evolve Cini. She has less potential than Wurst from what I can remember, but it is pretty similar. Plus, it'll save me a slime core, since I fed her one before.'
Before starting the evolution process, Alaric forced Cini's core ever so slightly out of its body. The slime wouldn't die, but while the slime's core slightly protruded from its body, it would definitely be in pain.
Thus, Alaric quickly ordered, "Pamela, engrave that formation you found on Penne Ryder's tongue onto Cini's core."
