The shell was hard, and whenever it was attacked, it would retract and hide. But was there an exposed weak spot?
Looking at the Treasure Chest Monster a dozen meters away and the ground, Gauss had an idea.
Using the Communication Technique, he instructed Aaliyah to move away in advance.
Gauss launched a salvo of three Magic Missiles, forcing the Treasure Chest Monster to retreat into its shell. Taking advantage of the time, he retrieved fire oil from his Storage Pouch and poured it onto the ground.
Once everything was set, he continued to withdraw.
The Treasure Chest Monster, unsuspecting, continued to move closer from afar.
"Splash!"
As it slid over the oil-soaked ground, it seemed slightly affected, gliding forward an extra dozen centimeters. However, due to its numerous tiny appendages, it quickly regained its balance.
But Gauss didn't pour the oil just to achieve an "Oil Slick" effect.
