Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Ahem, please excuse my poor appearance, don't mind it," Shi Chen said awkwardly to the man in the robe.

"...What do you want to do?" The man in the robes tried to keep his expression calm.

"Didn't I just say? Hand her over to me."

"Why...?" the man in the robe asked, frowning.

Is it true that the Fifth Progenitor is a lolicon, as rumored?

He has taken a fancy to Astarothie?

"You still ask why... She's an artificial life form, isn't she?" Shi Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Huh—what? She's using an artificial life form?" At this moment, Yukina Himeragi brushed aside Toki's hand and looked at Astarothie in disbelief.

Astaroth stood still, without any reaction, her expression indifferent.

"It really is..."

A closer look reveals Astarothie's unusual nature; she is clearly not a normal person.

"You bastard!" Himeragi Yukina glared angrily at the man in the robe.

The reason she was so angry was not because Astarothie was an artificial life form, but because there was a familiar inside Astarothie!

The ability to command familiars is unique to vampires, because these creatures devour their master's life force. Apart from vampires' long-lasting life force, no other creature can withstand this.

"What on earth did you do? You actually put a familiar inside her body!"

"Who are you? You seem to know quite a lot." The man in the robe looked at Himeragi Yukina with surprise.

“I am a sword priestess of the Lion King Organization,” Himeragi Yukina replied coldly.

"As expected of the witch from the Lion King Organization."

The man in the robes made no attempt to conceal it; at this moment, there was no need for him to, and he was even quite proud.

"Only vampires can control their familiars within their own blood. However, by parasitizing the captured familiars before they hatch, I have successfully created an artificial life form containing familiars within its body—although the only successful case is Astalloti."

"shut up!"

Himeragi Yukina angrily interrupted the robed man: "Why is it that besides vampires, no other demon race can command familiars...? You can't possibly not know that, can you? You knew that and still did this..."

"Of course I know that when a familiar materializes, it devours the host's life at an astonishing rate. Only vampires with infinite negative life force can keep them... Is that what you're trying to say?"

"Then why... wouldn't she...?"

“As long as Roddarkduros remains in Astarothie’s body, her lifespan won’t be long, at most two more weeks… But she can extend her lifespan by consuming the demons she defeats… Her sacrifice is necessary to achieve my goals.”

The man in the robes spoke calmly, showing no remorse.

"So you just... attacked the demons?" Himeragi Yukina realized.

“That’s right, this is to use their magic power to feed their familiars. Astarothie can’t die so soon…”

Himeragi Yukina was furious: "For something like this... you raised her just for something like this? What's the difference between her and a gadget?!"

"Ah."

The man in the robes looked at Yukina Himeragi with a cold smile and asked, "Sword Shaman of the Lion King Organization, why are you angry? Aren't you also a tool raised by the Lion King Organization?"

"this......!"

"Buying unwanted babies with money, wholeheartedly instilling anti-demon technology into them, and then sending them to the battlefield... It's like treating them as disposable tools—is this how the Lion King Organization operates? Sword Witch, you were with the Fifth Ancestor, so you must have been sent, right? That means you're quite strong... You've grown up to be this big, haven't you made quite a few sacrifices?"

"..."

Faced with the merciless questioning from the man in the robe, Himeragi Yukina remained silent, as if her entire body was frozen, biting her lip with all the color draining from her face.

"Who gave you permission to question Setsuna?"

At this moment, Shichen embraced Himeragi Yukina, staring coldly at the man in the magic robe, his magic power beginning to ripple.

"...This demonic power is indeed from the True Ancestor!" The man in the robe looked at Shi Chen with suspicion and trepidation, his heart filled with extreme vigilance.

"Yukina, don't listen to him. Have you forgotten whether you were happy or not in the Lion King Organization?" Tokishi gently comforted Yukina Himeragi.

“Teacher Shi…” Himeragi Yukina turned around and looked at him with a pale face.

"How could you be so easily swayed by just a few words? Are you really that fragile?" Shi Chen chuckled as he pinched her cheek, which was quite bouncy.

"Well......"

"Hehe, the Lion King Organization raised you, so isn't it reasonable for you to repay them? Besides, they haven't treated you badly."

“Is that so…” Himeragi Yukina’s expression softened slightly as she recalled her life growing up at the Lion King Organization.

"Is that really the case? I'm just using things created as tools, while you're degrading humans, who were born with God's blessing, to mere tools. Aren't you the ones with the heaviest sins?"

"Shut up!"

Shi Chen roared, his magical power surging and shaking the space. The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the air became heavy and difficult to breathe, and the ground shook.

"This is...! How is this possible! Such magic...!" The man in the magic robe was so shaken by the tremors that he could barely stand, but he found that he couldn't move.

Not only was he enveloped in magic, but the space around him was also imprisoned.

"what happened?"

"Teacher Shi..." Himeragi Yukina exclaimed in surprise. The dense magic emanating from Shichen made her feel an urge to submit.

It was only at this moment that she realized it was the Fifth True Ancestor, the strongest being in the world.

His appearance was completely different from that of ordinary people these past two days.

It's amazing that she usually dares to treat him so recklessly.

But at this moment, his anger stemmed from her.

"Is this the power of the Fifth True Ancestor? It's truly enviable..." The man in the robe couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with fervor.

Shichen looked at him unmoved: "I was originally thinking of being gentle with you, but there's no need now. I can't bear to say anything to Yukina and hurt her, yet you dare to say such things to her. You deserve to die."

"Teacher Shi..." Shi Chen's words made Himeragi Yukina's heart pound.

"Even if you are the Fifth Progenitor... I will not yield, Astarothie! Charge!"

"—Command received."

As an artificial life form, Astarothie must obey the commands of her creator, and she charged towards the hour.

A huge, long hand emerged from her cloak and coat, carrying the force of a whirlwind, and slammed down hard on Shichen.

The commotion, which seemed capable of destroying everything, made Yukina Himeragi shout in worry, "Teacher Toki, be careful...!"

"Don't worry, have you forgotten who I am?"

Toki smiled slightly at Himeragi Yukina, without even looking at her, and simply raised her hand to block Astarothie's full-force attack.

There was no sound at all, as if it were blocking the children's play.

Himeragi Yukina stared in astonishment, speechless.

"How can it be!"

The robed man was incredulous and panicked. He shouted, "Astarothie, go all out!"

"—Command received... Ughhhhh!"

Astarothie began to groan in pain, and then another arm lifted her cloak and emerged from behind her; the two hands were clearly a pair.

Moreover, something even larger emerged from her body—a translucent, colossal form shimmering with iridescent light.

This is the complete familiar, not just the shape of the arms. It is a tall giant, like a faceless stone monster, with its whole body covered in thick fleshy armor.

"Roar--!"

After it absorbed Astarothie into its body, it roared and then swung its fists down heavily on the hour.

"Don't make trouble."

Shichen, still unconcerned, raised his hand and easily caught the giant's familiar's devastating blow without causing any ripples.

It's like erasing the attack.

"This...this is impossible!" The man in the robes stared wide-eyed.

"You don't actually think the rumors are false, do you? I am the Fifth True Ancestor. What can mere artificial life forms and ordinary familiars do to me?" Shi Chen said calmly.

"..."

"But don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you. You can let Yukina handle it. It's better if she takes revenge herself... What do you think?" Toki asked Yukina Himeragi at the end.

"Teacher Shi... but I didn't bring any weapons..." Himeragi Yukina really wanted to take matters into her own hands, but being unarmed, she didn't think she was a match for the man in the robe.

The opponent was wearing augmented armor; even orcs were no match for him, and she was not an arrogant person.

"Is this the weapon?" Shichen released Himeragi Yukina and reached out to the side.

Space began to fluctuate, and a fantastical passage appeared. Shichen reached in and took out a box that looked like it contained musical instruments.

It's the box that Yukina Himeragi carries with her to school every day.

"Huh? How could this be?" Himeragi Yukina blankly took the weapon that Tokiomi handed her.

"Didn't I say? Itogami Island is my territory, and I can take anything here if I want."

"Then... my underwear?"

"...Is it appropriate for you to ask this now?" Shi Chen's lips twitched.

"Um...it's because you always look at my panties, Teacher Shi..."

"What? Why does Shichen want to see her panties? If you want to see them, you can have mine." Aurora couldn't help but interrupt.

"Shut up." Shi Chen tapped her head irritably.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

"Xiao Wu, don't let her speak."

"Ok."

"Yukina, you too, I'll teach you a lesson later." Toki glared at Himeragi Yukina.

“Disciplining me… could it be?” Himeragi Yukina suddenly remembered the spanking that Shichen had mentioned that afternoon.

"What are you thinking about now? Let's deal with that guy first," Shi Chen urged. He was just saying it casually and didn't think much of it.
