Chapter 156 - Acid was Useful

Acid was Useful

Now that I knew that the Blue Moon of Salvation was trying to use the ‘Universal Purification Device’ to ‘save’ the world, I had co to the town of Maneia in order to get so information.

That is where I found a mansion with tight security, and had my slis break through their defenses. As they had succeeded, I was going to make them start searching the place...

But there were even tighter security asures waiting for us inside.

“More doors...”

I muttered as I watched the image that appeared before through ‘Shared Senses.’

There was a line of doors that all looked very strong.

And each door had a guard standing in front of it.

As I watched, a man entered the room.

At a glance, he looked like a villager... But there was sothing in his eyes that was obviously different from the others.

“Number 5267. I’ve co for the refining duties.”

“Understood. You are granted permission to enter.”

One of the guards answered, and there was the sound of the door unlocking from the other side. And then it swung open.

But there was no keyhole in the door.

So I wouldn’t be able to steal a key from any of the guards.

What was on the other side of the open door...was another door.

It wasn’t until the first door was properly closed that the second door opened.

Double doors.

And they could not be opened at the sa ti.

That ant the person who went inside would have to be trapped in that space for a short while.

Usually, the second door would open imdiately... I suppose this was a way of stopping a potential invader who forced his way in just as the first door opened.

And now that I think about it...that space between the doors had strange holes in the ceiling.

“Would they go that far...”

I was surprised at how strict the security was. And so I asked the slis.

‘Can you guys go under the door?’

‘Uh...I’ll try!’

It would have to be waterproof in order to stop the slis.

Even if this place had tight security, I doubt they built this place to be waterproof.

Or so I thought...

‘Sothing is stopping !’

‘I can’t get in!’

The slis tried to enter, but the door stopped them.

On closer inspection, there was sothing like rubber in between... And this rubber seal was preventing the slis from sliding through.

So it was waterproof after all.

“...I see. Poison gas.”

They used that space between the two doors so they could kill intruders with poison gas.

And so the doors needed to be airtight so that the gas didn’t leak...

Obviously, it was even easier to stop water.

In that case, this ant that the slis had to enter while the door was still opened... Unfortunately, the doors opened and closed very quickly, and the slis were not fast enough.

So...

‘We have no choice. We have to break it...’

‘Break it!?’

‘But won’t they find out?’

The slis sounded very surprised when they heard .

But I wasn’t suggesting that we destroy the entire door.

— ‘Sli Acid.’

I had seen such a thing among the Tar Skills.

I believed it was a sli ability that used acid.

‘Can you use a skill called ‘Sli Acid’?’

‘Maybe!’

‘It’s that thing that lts stuff, right?’

‘Yeah. Can you use it on the rubber that’s getting in your way? ... Just use a little so that no one notices.’

It was likely a natural rubber that was being used to seal the door.

And natural rubber was supposed to be weak to acid.

...While people would notice if we broke down the whole door, we could probably escape their notice if we just lted a little rubber.

‘Okay!’

And so the slis started to rub their acid all over the rubber.

And then...while it was slow, the rubber started to lt.

‘It’s looking good. ...Maybe we can use this skill for hunting as well?’

I had assud that the slis had no thod for attacking, but maybe they could do sothing with this acid.

Or so I thought...

‘Hmmm... But my mom said sli acid is no good for fighting!’

‘There are so strong slis that can lt through anything...but I can’t do that...’

Apparently, most sli acid was not strong enough to fight other monsters.

However, this weak acid was still perfect for what we needed currently.

If it was too strong, then there would be smoke rising from the rubber as it lted.

But this acid lted very slowly and quietly, which was perfect for getting in without being noticed.

And so we waited... Eventually, the rubber lted until there was a small gap under the door.

‘Do you think that you can get in now?’

It might beco noticeable if they made too big a gap.

Besides, the slis only need a gap that was a milliter wide in order to get in.

So this seed like it would be enough.

‘Oh, yeah!’

‘I can get in!’

So saying, the slis started to slip through, one by one.

While it had taken a lot of work, we had sohow made it.
