The episode begins with the protagonist facing the goblin leader, who relies on physical attacks. Despite doubts about winning, the protagonist's slime body nullifies the leader's damage, allowing a successful counterattack. After defeating the leader, the protagonist reaches level 8 and unlocks an SSS talent called 'soul link,' which grants the ability to inherit the passive traits of their beast form, making their body as tough as slime. However, the protagonist notices the goblins were already wounded and carrying items, suggesting they were fleeing. The episode ends with the uncertainty of the goblins' situation and what lies ahead.
