Chapter 311 – How much resentment are you collecting, anyway?

Sоmеthing like a сentipеdе-tуре Grudgе Spirit—or rаther, onе thаt had аlrеаdу undеrgonе Demоnization—wаs writhing in thе dаrknеss beyоnd, chаnting its grievancеs.

“Оoh… How I resеnt thеm… I resent them… I have nеvеr forgotten… not evеn оnce… thе treаtmеnt I rесeived from that сlan… A сursе uрon them, frоm gеnеration tо generаtion, unto the end оf timе… upon thаt сlaаaaаaaaаn!”

“Whoа!! Тhe client’s clan is sеriouslу hаtеd!! What hаppеnеd tо acсumulatе this muсh rеsеntmеnt!? Ah, sо thаt’s whу theу sеaled off the old mansion!”

Though the guts to actually live on that land are impressive!

But the eldest son, who seems poised to become the new head of the family, is kind of like Spice’s sponsor.

Since he provided the workplace, it’s not like Spice can complain.

“Look, the lanterns and stuff that were scattered around are floating in the air, and you can vaguely see the centipede’s full form. Oh, the scale-like things covering its body are all faces.”

※ ‘Ewwww’ ‘This is top-tier trauma material among all the Dungeons I’ve seen so far!?’ ‘Just how much resentment has built up!?’

“Probably something the clan’s ancestors did. But well, the current generation isn’t guilty. Alright, let’s do this!”

“Uwooooooooooooooh!”

Letting out a scream that echoed through the space, the centipede writhed and attacked.

Ah, just kidding.

In reality, it was spouting realistic grievances, but Spice applied audio processing to turn it into incomprehensible screams!!

“Once a monster starts harming people, there’s no choice but to defeat it! Or rather, isn’t it amazing that in modern times we have the technology to defeat things that in the past could only be sealed away!? Here we go!!”

※ ‘Whoa!! Little Spice dodged the Grudge Spirit’s charge!’ ‘He’s running using its huge body as footholds!’ ‘The new form can do that!?’ ‘But he can usually fly!’

“Yeah, yeah! Flying is convenient too, but getting up close and personal like this… makes it easier to aim! Take this—Wave Blast rapid fire!!”

While running, he rapidly fired light bullets aimed at the Grudge Spirit’s head.

“Ugwaaah!!”

The centipede Grudge Spirit thrashed about!

The old mansion was getting more and more destroyed.

And no matter how much he destroyed, the old wooden house just kept spreading endlessly.

That’s what makes it a Dungeon.

Meanwhile, Spice was closing in on the Grudge Spirit’s head…!

“Master! Time to finish it! Want a punch? Or a kick?”

“This time, let’s go with a punch!!”

“Roger that! I’ll gather power into the fist! If you don’t punch with this, it’ll explode!!”

“Whoa! A Finishing Move with a drawback! Gotta make sure it hits! Hyaaah!! I name thee… Exorcism・Burst Fist!!”

※ ‘So chuunibyou!!’ ‘That sounds about right!’ ‘Ah, a Caption appeared on the screen!!’

Nice work, Floppy!

Spice’s fist, shining dazzlingly, plunged from below into the centipede Grudge Spirit’s face!

Then, Spice’s muffler swelled up, forming an incredibly huge fist!

“O, Ooooooooh!! Ug, Ugwaaaaaaaaaaah!!”

An ultra-powerful giant uppercut!!

It sent the massive body of the centipede Grudge Spirit soaring up through the Dungeon’s sky~!!

It seemed to finally break through the Dungeon’s domain, as the old mansion’s ceiling shattered to pieces.

What appeared was blue sky!

We’re outside!!

On the ground, the clan members were looking up in a daze.

The launched Grudge Spirit was screaming things like, “Aaaaaah, they’re right there! My grudge, I must settle my grudge! I must! I must aaaaaaaaaah!!”

“Time’s up! You know, revenge is something you gotta do while it’s fresh, or it changes! After that, it just becomes misplaced resentment! Hope you live properly in your next life!”

Just as Powered said something like that.

The entire body of the centipede Grudge Spirit finally burst apart with a Paaan!

A swarm of Grudge Spirits flew out from within!

…But, the afterglow of Action Spice’s strike was scattering shining residual waves all around… and getting caught in them, they vanished one after another with “Ugwaah” cries.

Finally, even the last one was swallowed by the light.

Spice enlarged his muffler to use as a parachute and landed outside the mansion.

The ominous aura that had been emanating from the area around the old mansion was fading away.

“All curses have been exorcised. Thank you.”

The eldest son came over and shook Spice’s hand.

“Whoa, was it really okay to broadcast something like this on a nationwide stream?”

“It’s fine. What happened in the past cannot be changed. There’s also meaning in preserving the sight of a cursed legacy being freed from its curse. As a warning for our clan.”

The eldest son smiled and looked around at the other clan members.

Everyone who had been muttering hurriedly turned away with a huff.

Seems like there’s a lot going on… but…

That’s something to leave to the clan!

“Alright, so that was the unveiling of the Grimoire Powered! This Action Spice might be the final form of Spice’s solo forms, right? It’s a form pretty specialized for close combat; personally, I like it, but it really uses up stamina.”

“My forte is also supplying power for other Magic! To use energy directly, the user just has to move, right!?”

“I see! So, when combined with Flota…”

“My Magic’s range can extend, or its scale can expand! I’m looking forward to it!”

Somehow, Flota was also full of motivation.

And so, the stream of the Dungeon, which seemed like an old mansion steeped in tradition, came to an end.

“Well then, thanks for your hard work! We appreciate it!”

“Please feel free to come visit next time!”

“I’ll appear in the stream’s Comment Section again! Little Spice is the best!!”

Spice parted amicably with the eldest son and Zabuton.

“And so, Spice’s ultimate decisive battle is approaching! Everyone’s viewing and Channel Subscriptions will determine victory or defeat, so please~!! Subscriptions and high ratings, I’m counting on you!!”

But before that…!

The retirement event of the world’s greatest Streamer awaits!
