After reforming into the Slime Lord, the boss's health had already dropped to 22%. Victory was now within reach.
The team's morale surged. With Riverbank Grass's mana fully restored, any lingering doubts about clearing the stage quickly faded.
Moonlight Beauty and Nightwalker were still hovering at around 30% health due to the red slime's splash damage and the green slime's volley of poisoned arrows. Earlier, Riverbank Grass hadn't had the mana to heal them. But now, she swiftly cast Divine Shield and Renew, bringing some stability back to the party.
Just as she was about to top everyone off, the Slime Lord reappeared.
Recalling its Devour ability, Riverbank Grass chose to focus all her healing on Ryan, their tank, deciding it was too risky to prioritize the others just yet.
