〝Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?〟
〝What was that just now!????〟
〝What did you do!?〟
〝One punch!????〟
〝The Tera Slime just evaporated though!?〟
After Rakuna’s single strike erased the Tera Slime without leaving a trace, the viewers’ astonished comments began to pour in like a raging torrent.
That reaction was only natural.
After all, the Tera Slime is a special-grade monster, and due to its body being made of dissolving liquid, it’s considered a vicious monster that’s difficult to defeat with weapons and the like.
And yet Rakuna slaughtered it with her bare fist—on top of that, in a single blow.
And it seemed the viewers weren’t the only ones shocked.
“…Hey… what was that just now…?”
The mid-ranked explorer Shiiba Chigiri, who had been watching from behind, asked in a trembling voice.
As if she’d forgotten her leg injury, she edged closer and closer to Rakuna.
“…Uh, that was a Kamijiki-style form, right? And it looked exactly like Kamijiki Genbu’s fist. Hey—what was that? Do you have some connection to the Kamijiki family? Or are you a passionate fan? If so, you’re just like me, right? But there’s no way copying it by eye would reach that level of perfection, you know? Source: me. Hehe. Sorry, I seriously don’t understand a bunch of things, so could you teach me? I don’t understand it so much I feel like my head’s going to break. Hey, it’s fine, right? Hey, hey, hey, hey.”
〝Oh?〟
〝She’s muttering at mach speed, lol〟
〝Isn’t that girl terrifying!?〟
〝She’s coming at her while rattling off a whole speech lmaooo〟
〝Horror footage lol〟
〝It really did look just like Kamijiki Genbu though〟
〝Wait, isn’t that Shiiba Chigiri?〟
〝Is she famous?〟
〝No no, more importantly, can you not get any closer to Naraka-chan!?〟
〝Wait! Seriously stop!〟
〝This is bad! Everyone, brace for impact!!〟
With hollow eyes, Chigiri kept closing the distance.
Seeing that, Rakuna—
“Hi-iiii—nooooooo—aaaaaaah!!”
A perfectly reasonable scream.
Still looking like she was about to cry, she jumped backward with all her might.
A tremendous leap—one that screamed desperate escape from danger.
She traced a huge arc through the air and slowly landed at a spot far away.
—SPLAAASH.
But she hadn’t landed on the ground.
What was there was the massive body of a Tera Slime.
Rakuna had—unbelievably—dived straight into that body made of dissolving liquid.
〝Eeeeeeeeeeh!?〟
〝She hole-in-oned into a Tera Slimeeeee!?〟
〝That’s more like a pond splashdown〟
〝What are you doiiiing!!〟
〝Hey, a Tera Slime’s body is dissolving liquid!!〟
〝Shocking footage〟
〝Broadcast accident〟
〝No, this is seriously bad!!〟
But the viewers’ panic lasted only a moment.
The Tera Slime’s body, which had burst up like a spray of water, began to glow—
—Shuuuuuuuuuuuu……
—and evaporated just like that.
The steam shimmered, and before long it transformed into a massive amount of magic stones.
At the center of the ring-shaped spread of magic stones was Rakuna, her fist driven down toward the floor.
She let out a soft breath and relaxed her stance, then glanced around her own body.
“Thank goodness… My clothes aren’t melted.”
〝Wooooo she’s okay!!〟
〝She jumped into dissolving liquid and came out unscathed!?〟
〝Not injured—she’s worried about her clothes, lmao〟
〝Seriously what even is Naraka-chan’s body!?〟
〝She’s actually invincible〟
〝It’s hilarious how nobody’s even surprised she insta-killed the Tera Slime anymore〟
〝I see! It only looked like she dived in, but in reality she threw a punch at the Tera Slime at the last second! What looked like a splash was the shockwave blowing its body apart! …Wait, what does that even mean?〟
〝The explainer bro is arguing with himself because none of this makes sense lol〟
Despite diving into dissolving liquid, Rakuna returned unharmed, and an overwhelming flood of cheers, relief, and countless other reactions poured in.
From afar, Chigiri—who had been watching—also let out a relieved breath.
Then, staring at Rakuna, she slowly brought her hands together and released something like a sigh.
“Haa… as expected of Kamijiki Genbu…”
〝Her eyes are literally hearts〟
〝Hey, that girl’s scary〟
〝She’s calling her Kamijiki Genbu though〟
〝※Wrong person〟
〝Even if you weren’t Naraka-chan, that’s terrifying lol〟
〝Was Shiiba-san always like this? lol〟
As the viewers recoiled at Chigiri, a rattling crash of rubble came from somewhere.
The Tera Slime that had been thrown along with the floor crawled out from the debris.
Rakuna braced herself for a charge.
She’d defeated two Tera Slimes. Only the final one remained.
However, the Tera Slime began moving at high speed in a completely different direction.
Watching it with her head tilted, Rakuna saw it reach the spot where the other Tera Slimes had evaporated.
The Tera Slime grotesquely reshaped its body and swallowed the huge number of magic stones scattered there.
Then the Tera Slime’s body began to glow in rainbow hues—and it started to split.
One… two… three…
New Tera Slimes multiplied one after another, until there were six in total.
〝Hey hey hey hey〟
〝Why are there MORE than before!?〟
〝It absorbed magic power from the magic stones and split!?〟
〝Slimes eat magic stones…!?〟
〝This means they can multiply forever!!〟
〝If you leave even one alive, it multiplies—this is unwinnable〟
〝Three was already bad enough—why are we getting a new nightmare update!!〟
A slime’s characteristic splitting manifests when it takes magic power into its body through predation and the like.
Normally, what they prey on is living creatures—so consuming inorganic matter like magic stones was extremely rare behavior.
It’s commonly said slimes have no emotions, but slimes are still monsters—living creatures.
Faced with Rakuna’s overwhelming presence, perhaps its survival instincts had been triggered.
Seeing the viewers’ comments, Rakuna nodded along as usual—“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.”
“I see. Then we just have to defeat them all at the same time!”
She said it with a cool expression and turned her gaze toward the Tera Slimes.
She kicked off her remaining shoe and went barefoot, then crossed both hands in front of her and took her stance.
Then she kicked off the ground and dashed forward, leaning into the run.
The Tera Slimes fired dissolving liquid at the oncoming Rakuna all at once.
Simultaneous fire from six directions.
Rakuna didn’t slow down in the slightest—she dodged beautifully with minimal movement.
And in the blink of an eye, she was right in front of them.
Watching that movement, Chigiri covered her mouth with both hands and shuddered.
“Amazing…! That’s the Kamijiki-style Hidden Storehouse: Six Consecutive Stars…! The integrated offense-and-defense stance that Kamijiki Genbu specialized in most…!”
〝She’s commentating and it’s killing me lol〟
〝We’ve got a hardcore Kamijiki Genbu stan here lmaooo〟
〝She’s insanely knowledgeable lol〟
〝But like, why has Naraka-chan been using Kamijiki-style stances this whole time???〟
Rakuna released her crossed stance and spread both arms wide—
—BOBOBOBOBOBON!!
The instant she threw her fists, layered explosions thundered through the room.
The impact was tremendous—the entire dungeon shook violently.
The tracking drone filming the scene got battered by a blast-like shockwave, and the footage became wildly distorted.
〝What is thiiiis!?〟
〝Did something just explode massivelyyy!?〟
〝The video is wobbling like crazy lol〟
〝I’m getting motion sick!!〟
〝Hang in there, droooooone!!〟
〝Also, for a split second it felt like there were multiple Naraka-chans〟
〝It was so fast I saw afterimages lol〟
〝Naraka-chan can make clones too now (dead eyes)〟
〝Please let it just be the camera freaking out lol〟
After a short while the shaking subsided, and when the tracking drone finally captured Rakuna’s back—
—Shuuuuuuuuuuuu……
—not a trace of the Tera Slimes remained in front of her.
Only white smoke—presumably from their evaporation—rose into the air.
Soon that smoke turned to light, forming a mountain of magic stones.
Then the floor, the walls, the ceiling— everything within the dungeon began to glow, lighting the area brightly.
The 『Blessing』 had been bestowed—the sign of dungeon completion.
〝Woooooooooo!!〟
〝Yessssss!!〟
〝One-punching six Tera Slimes in an instant—are you kidding meeeee!!〟
〝No way…〟
〝She’s a monster…〟
〝Still a lot I don’t understand, but congrats anywayyyyy!!〟
〝Congrats on your first clear of a beginner dungeon!!〟
〝What kind of “beginner dungeon” is this, lol〟
〝I was like what are you talking about—then remembered this IS a beginner dungeon lol〟
〝Right, last time was an advanced dungeon, so this really is her first beginner clear lol〟
〝My brain is glitching outtt〟
〝This one was high-calorie again lol〟
The comment section erupted into a storm of congratulations for the dungeon clear.
Despite being a beginner dungeon, three special-grade monsters had been waiting in the boss room—and they’d been one-punched back-to-back. On top of that, Rakuna’s form looked eerily similar to a legendary explorer, an overload of information all at once.
Just like her first stream, comments flew in so fast the server lagged violently, as if on the verge of crashing.
Receiving the flood of congratulatory messages, Rakuna scratched her head and grinned shyly.
Even so, she seemed concerned about the other explorer.
Cautiously, she glanced sideways.
As expected, Chigiri—where Rakuna looked—was staring at her with flaring nostrils.
“…Found you… My goal…!”
