Crossover Anime: From DanMachi to Becoming a Garbage Scavenging Master

Yongshan is the ancestral home of the Dongkong tribe.

"Ninja Art: Rabies Activated—!"

A ninja with long purple hair and wearing a rabid dog mask was talking in hushed tones with the middle-aged man who was the village chief. As soon as the conversation ended, the ninja suddenly reached out and grabbed the wrist of the village chief's daughter next to him, shouting these words in a sharp voice.

Immediately afterward, the ninja's body went limp and collapsed, as if his soul had been ripped away, leaving only an empty shell. Meanwhile, on the village chief's daughter's body, strange purple lines were rapidly spreading all over her body, starting from her arms.

The silence lasted for a moment.

"Such good health, such a strong body...it's amazing! Hahahaha!!!"

The village chief's daughter suddenly burst into laughter, but although the voice was familiar, it was somewhat eerie.

"Is this the source of the Frozen Sky Clan's monstrous strength... 'Frostbone Technique'?"

She looked down at her palms, her eyes filled with both greed and undisguised admiration.

"Using the power of extreme cold to temper muscles and bones, driving the cold into the marrow, and using freezing as a form of tempering, the practitioner must immerse their body in ice and cold for a long time, using their physical body to withstand the extreme low temperature, so that the bones gradually harden through repeated freezing, cracking and recovery... There is such a divine skill in the world!"

Her expression gradually became fanatical.

"Maniwa Octopus—your death is imminent!"

She burst into wild laughter, her voice unrestrained and exuberant, echoing through the village chief's room, as if she were now invincible.

As the village chief was astonished by the changes in the guest and his daughter, she casually raised her hand, and those hands that had held her father's hand countless times, effortlessly pierced through his chest.

The massacre began.

The passing tribespeople didn't even have time to cry out before they were struck dead with a single blow, completely unprepared. There was no resistance, no escape, because the killer's face was so familiar that no one thought to take precautions. By the time Dongkong Fenxue arrived at the tribe's territory with her new friends from the day, Zaishi Nanaka and Toga, the entire village had become a wasteland.

The once-village was now a scene of devastation, with bloodstains winding across the ruins. On a relatively intact rooftop, a figure wielding twin swords and a hammer stood alone, his back to the newcomer, looking like a tombstone rooted in a pile of corpses.

The frozen powder snow, which was on its way back to the village, stopped in its tracks, and its voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Dad... Mom... everyone... why are they all lying in pools of blood?"

She looked around in disbelief, her legs buckled, but she still forced herself to stay upright.

"She just went out and met some new friends, and she was planning to bring them back to introduce them to everyone..."

Her eyes were red, but she didn't actually cry.

When she saw the figure clearly, her voice suddenly became shrill.

"Sister Shuangbai—why did you kill everyone?!"

Just as Pink Snow clenched her fists, preparing to rush forward and question him, the sharp-eyed Tou'er spotted an unusual body at the edge of the surrounding pile of corpses—long purple hair scattered on the ground, and the rabid dog mask still on its head; it was clearly a completely cold corpse.

"Back off, Powder Snow!"

Gou'er suddenly stretched out her arm to stop her, her voice low but filled with an undeniable urgency.

"That person is probably not your sister Shimoshiro, but one of the twelve leaders of the Maniwa clan—Maniwa Mad Dog!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the figure holding the knife slowly turned around. Her gaze first swept over Jiu'er, then landed on Qi Hua. The next moment, the anger in her eyes suddenly erupted.

"The strategist Toga... the Seven Flowers of the Void Blade Style!"

She grinned maliciously.

"Fine, before I go get the head of Manabi Octopus Nanami—no, Yasuri Nanami, I'll kill you all first, consider it interest!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed out.

The twin swords and hammers drew heavy arcs in the air, and the mad dog's figure pounced on Qihua like a beast. The weight of the weapons, combined with the monstrous strength of the Frozen Sky Clan, made each swing carry enough power to shatter the frozen earth.

boom--!

Qi Hua raised his arm to meet the attack, and the snow beneath his feet instantly collapsed. He was forced back half a step by the force of the blow, but quickly regained his balance.

The rabid dog licked its lips and grinned maliciously.

"Heh... As expected of her brother, he's got some skills."

She slowly raised her twin swords and hammers, the purple patterns pulsating slightly beneath her skin.

"However, I now possess the strongest body in the world. With my next move, I'll send you on your way, avenging the four fallen leaders of the Manabe!"

Nana didn't answer, but slowly adjusted her stance, stretched out her arms, and calmly assumed the unique starting stance of the Kyoto-ryu style—Willow Green and Flower Red.

His voice remained calm.

"Then I'll show you my ultimate technique."

Qihua looked at the rabid dog, her tone completely unwavering.

"But by the time you see it... you'll already be torn to pieces!"

The rabid dog laughed loudly.

"Arrogant!"

She stomped her foot and charged forward. Almost at the same moment, Nana also took a step.

"Scattered and torn apart—remodel!"

Two figures took steps simultaneously, passing each other in an instant.

A brief silence fell over the air.

The next moment, a hole appeared in the chest of the Mad Dog Maniwa, running from front to back. Blood mist slowly spread across the frozen ground, and the purple patterns on her body gradually faded away. Her original crazed expression disappeared, leaving only seven parts emptiness and three parts relief.

Nana felt a little unsatisfied and complained, "Sister, really, it's not as dangerous outside as she thinks."

Just as Qi Hua was wondering why her sister had abused her like that before, Dong Kong Shuang Bai, who had regained consciousness, used her last bit of strength to look at Fen Xue in the distance and whispered, "Fen Xue, you must live well."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body fell to the ground in the snow, and she was silent forever.

-----------------

In the distance, Zheng Tianxing and Lu Qishi stood atop the mountain, quietly watching everything that was happening below.

Dongkong Fenxue, Jiu'er, and Luqihua dug snow pits for all the villagers, placed the bodies in them, and then shoveled the snow back up, gradually raising the shallow pits until they became simple and quiet snow graves. After the snow piles were finished, they placed a small flower on each snow grave, adding a few faint touches of color to the white expanse.

"Aren't you going to order me to rescue them? If so, Frozen Snowflakes would surely be even more grateful to you, wouldn't they?"

Nanami asked the question as always, as if she were just casually suggesting a perfectly reasonable possibility.

Zheng Tianxing remained silent for a moment. The mountain wind swept across the mountaintop, but his gaze remained fixed on the village below, while his hand, hidden in his sleeve, unconsciously clenched slowly, his knuckles turning slightly white.

"No. When the world is completely shattered, they will die too."

When he said those words, his voice wasn't cold, but it carried a weariness of being unable to change the outcome.

"This is the best possible outcome for us."

Nanami didn't say anything more, she just glanced at him quietly.

—How gentle you are, Lord Tianxing. You are clearly not suited for this path, yet you choose to walk it. You must have gone through something.

A moment later, a portal to the void slowly opened beside the two of them, the dark portal seemingly leading to another world.

Zheng Tianxing stepped inside first, followed by Qi Shi. After their figures completely disappeared into the void, the door quietly closed, and the mountaintop returned to silence, as if no one had ever been there.

Down the mountain.

Toga looked at the pink snow still standing among the snow graves and asked softly:

"So, Pink Snow, what are your plans for the future?"

Frozen Powder Snow remained silent for a while, then looked down at the rows of newly piled snow mounds.

"Everyone has left me... I'm a little lonely."

She spoke softly, but quickly looked up again, tears still glistening at the corners of her eyes.

"However, I want to become stronger so I can defeat the Manawa ninja!"

Upon hearing this, Tomo'er's lips curled up slightly.

"I do know a good place. It has the best kendo teacher in Japan, as well as children your age, so you won't be too lonely."

"Then let them go there."

-----------------

On the training ground of Bucheng Island, Dongkong Fenxue knelt on the ground, her hands on the ground, and respectfully bowed to Luanqi.

"Master, please accept my bow!"

Her voice carried a hint of nervousness, yet also revealed her earnestness.

Standing to the side, Zheng Tianxing slightly raised his hand and took out two items from the void—a huge iron ruler that was completely black and ridiculously heavy, and a simple wooden ring that looked almost exactly the same as the one on his hand.

He handed two items to the girl and said casually:

"Consider this Xuanzhong Ruler and this storage ring as a gift to welcome you into the sect."

Dong Kongfenxue was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up slightly. She quickly took the two items and carefully held them in her arms.

"Th-thank you!"

She glanced at Zheng Tianxing instinctively, hesitated slightly, and tentatively began to speak:

"Master...Master?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yasuri Shichi gently corrected him.

"You should call him Lord Tianxing!"
