The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

The scavenger slime rushes over the broken door and into the room.

"Hurry up and close the door! Riharzam shouts.

"No, you can't! one of the apprentices shouts.

The fallen door was covered with scavenger slime and already in tatters. Scavenger slimes are known to feed on inorganic matter, carcasses, and excrement.

Under normal circumstances, they are not that dangerous.

In fact, the scavenger slimes that have entered the room are swarming around the materials and equipment left on the floor.

"Whatever, whatever, let's attack them now! Sabatha shouts. In his hand, he had just taken a device to check the magic circuits.

He activates the device, which produces a blade of flame, and then he slashes at the scavenger slime.

Sabatha swings the flaming blade.

A flash to the side.

The scavenger slime evaporates with a loud squeal, along with all the equipment that had been swarming around it. A smell of decay spreads from the steam.

Hey, that crate contains the magic circuits for the delivery, stop it!

Riharzam rushes toward the crate.

At his feet is a scavenger slime that just happened to slide into the crate.

Riharzamu steps on the scavenger slime's elastic and viscous body.

Riharzam's fat body, which has stepped on the scabenger slime with an almost audible thud, falls down as if it is thrown forward.

A group of scavenger slimes were on the other side of his fall. The pulled bodies of the scavenger slimes gently catch Riharzamu's huge body. However, Riharzam's body soon sinks into the group of scavenger slimes.

From the eyes, mouth, and nose. The scavenger slime, filled with the stench of decay, invades Rehalzam. Riharzamu struggles and squirms.

The apprentices who were attacking another scavenger slime run up to it, grab it by its protruding legs, and pull with all their might.

Riharzam slips out of the scavenger slime with a plop.

His clothes, which he had just changed into, are now melted by the scavenger slime, leaving holes in places, and his body once again reeks of decay.

The apprentices, trying to keep Rehalzam from swallowing too much, look at each other silently and continue to attack the scavenger slime as far away from Rehalzam as possible.

At that time, the security guards finally arrive.

The apprentices work with them to defeat the scavenger slime.

By the time all the scavenger slimes have been killed and even roughly cleaned up, the sky has turned white.

The crate filled with magic circuits, which appeared to be safe at first glance, had in fact been infiltrated by a single scavenger slime.

The scavenger slime was safely defeated by the security guards who rushed to the scene, but it had attached itself to several of the magic circuits, melting and eating some of the components.

None of the members of the armory were aware that such a thing had happened. Riharzam had already left, dragging his mucus-slick body with him.

The apprentices look at each other.

The fresh morning breeze caresses their faces, which have dark circles under their eyes from fatigue, and the sunlight shines on them. The scavenger slime has torn several holes in the walls.

Skeini. We have important work to do. Deliver the magic circuits to the armorsociety first thing in the morning.

Sukini, the newest member of the Armory Department, was forced to work by the exhausted seniors.

Sukini does as he is told and delivers the magic circuit to the Armor Association first thing in the morning. The condition of the circuits was never reconfirmed.
