Chapter 201 – Together with Exorcist 2

Despitе bеing а rеlаtively new арartment building, it hаs quite a сlаssiс аррearаnce.

Тhеy must hаvе built it with sоmе intеntion оf blending intо the scеnеrу.

“Оlder buildings tend tо havе defenses bаsеd on folklore. Тhаt’s why demonic entitiеs tаrget newer structures. Оldеr buildings alreаdy hаvе sоmеthing residing in them, leaving nо gaps tо infiltrаtе.”

“The Witсh оf Сolors sеems quite рowerful, so I’d think she соuld break thrоugh sоmething likе that, right? Mаybe beсausе hеr personalities аre sсаttеred аnd acting indереndently, shе’s instinctivеlу Dungеоnizing еasiеr tаrgеts rathеr thаn thinking it through?”

“You seem quite knowledgeable, Ms. Spice. I was right to permit your accompaniment. This is my first time collaborating with a White Witch as well.”

As they enter the apartment building, Gustav assumes a stance with his cross-emblazoned gloves.

The moment they step inside, they feel a chill completely different from the cold outside.

This is a full-fledged occult spot Dungeon!

All the doors are wide open, and as if synchronized with Spice’s group’s intrusion, Grudge Spirit-like entities begin crawling out.

The problem is that they’re all painted in vivid colors.

It totally ruins the atmosphere!!

“These are all monsters placed by the Witch of Colors, right? Their style isn’t very classic—more like mass-produced Grudge Spirits.”

“You’re right!”

“Even if they’re mass-produced to us, they’re an immense threat to ordinary citizens. Let’s go!”

Gustav dashes forward.

His large back rapidly recedes into the distance.

To intercept him, Grudge Spirits rise up one after another, attacking with agility.

Hey, if you can move that fast, why did you crawl out in the first place!?

‘Probably for atmosphere, right?’

‘Mm, Austrian Grudge Spirits are quick, huh~’

‘Well, there are even Zombies that come running at you, so~’

Gustav swiftly jabs one of the Grudge Spirits.

At the moment of impact, a cross-shaped light is etched into the spirit.

Whoa, the gloves are working!

A one-two followed by a powerful straight… a proper fist strike, and one Grudge Spirit is Purified with a ‘Uguwaaah!!’

He then deflects attacks from other spirits with karate-like blocks.

From there, he closes in… grabs the spirit by the chest, and throws it!

It’s a sweeping hip throw!

Just before the spirit hits the ground, a cross-shaped emblem appears on the floor.

The spirit crashes into it and is Purified with another ‘Uguwaaah!!’

I’ve never seen a fighting style like this!

So cool.

By the way, this scene is being Streamed with permission from Gustav and the Exorcist Association.

※ ‘Whoooooa!!’ ‘Exorcist Judo!!’ ‘A completely new martial art combining karate, judo, and exorcism!’ ‘Every single move is edgy and cool!!’

Our Meat Brigade loves it too!

※ Maruchou: ‘This is… could it be… the legendary Jacob Karate…!?’

Someone’s starting to spout nonsense!

“Well, Spice is the Slot holder, so it’s not good to just stand around watching, right? The Grudge Spirits keep pouring out, and in my base form, I can’t include Windy in the shot.”

“Right! Let’s Metamorphose then!”

※ ‘Adult Spice is charming too~’ ‘Fight as you are!’ ‘Little Windy’s voice before transformation sounds mature~’ ‘This is nice too~’ ‘Too bad she’s not on screen!’

“If I don’t transform, I can’t use Magic to its full potential! Plus, Windy is young, so we need to be considerate of various things! Okay, here we go! Metamorphose Spice! And Form Change! Ignite Spice!”

‘Mm, it’s me~!’

A Bashaan! as he Merges with Ignite.

Ignite Spice makes his appearance!

“I’ll Metamorphose too!! Ta-daa!! Windy! I wish I had a transformation form too~”

‘Windy is still too inexperienced, so no!’

She’s being scolded by Snow White.

Apparently, Windy is in her Basic Form, and it seems she can advance to a Higher-Tier Form as she improves.

That might be something to look forward to as well.

“Windy, come over here. We’ll do it before the spirits get here. The usual.”

“Okaaay! Is this spot good? Spice, you’re touching my butt~”

“At this distance, it’s unavoidable! Here we go!”

“Little Witch Duo!”

Spice and Windy strike a pose with a bishiin!

Ignite thoughtfully creates an explosion behind them.

“What’s that!?”

Gustav turns around in surprise.

Sorry about that!

And then he gets surprised a second time because Spice and Windy have turned into little girls.

“Ha… Streamers can even change their age…!? I didn’t know that…”

Oh no, Gustav is flustered, and his attacks against the spirits are slowing down!

“Dangeeer! Stretch forth, arrow of flame! Pierce through, Flare Arrow!”

Dashing forward, he thrusts out a finger, and a flaming arrow shoots from its tip.

It pierces a Grudge Spirit that was about to attack Gustav in a single strike.

‘Uguwaah!?’

It vanishes with a bashuuu and turns into a Dungeon Core.

Huh?

When Gustav defeated them, no Dungeon Cores appeared.

“Exorcist attacks are Purification, after all. They probably vanish along with the Dungeon Core. Whoops! Winds, gather! Twist and release… Wind Shoot!”

A wind arrow flies out, knocking back several Grudge Spirits.

‘Uguwaah!!’ ‘Uguwaah!!’

“Hahaan, so if you exorcise them, they really disappear, meaning if you want to collect resources too, it’s better for Streamers to be active…?”

“That might be it! I saw that in an analysis video!”

So Windy watches those kinds of things.

To this, Gustav responds,

“Not everyone can Stream, and inevitably, our mobility becomes heavier. To protect the devout followers of the church, we need Exorcists who are always ready to fight.”

“I see, mobility!”

So it’s case by case!

And so, the three of them proceed to vigorously push through the Dungeon together.
