Lucien's gaze drifted over his pets.
Skittles had reached Level 45, Oreo Level 40 and Sparkles stood at 51.
They'd grown stronger over time… yet their progress had begun to stall.
Skittles and Oreo were born from Monster Cards.
They can gain levels the same way he did. Through killing.
Sparkles, however, was different.
It was once a wild monster and it seemed capable of growing stronger simply by circulating mana.
Every creature had a different body structure and Lucien had no idea what kind of mana flows they practiced... and if they even thought about it consciously.
Sparkles certainly didn't. It moved through the process entirely on instinct.
Still, once Sparkles had become his pet, it had gained the ability to level up through combat as well.
And of course, even received loot drops.
That raised the question.
'Could Skittles and Oreo also strengthen themselves through mana circulation? Then again, they were slimes. Do they even have mana vessels?'
