Crossover Anime: From DanMachi to Becoming a Garbage Scavenging Master

The aura of the death flame continuously emanated from Alphia's body.

The fish-man monsters, blue crabs, and scattered monsters that were still wandering around all retreated, not daring to approach at all.

The moss giant sensed a strong malice.

Unlike the smiling, seemingly expectant, dark green-haired woman before him, the white-haired woman's eyes held only pure destruction. Its body reacted faster than its mind, turning and fleeing into the depths of the forest.

However, the prey's escape piqued Nanami's interest.

Before the moss giant could take two steps, a portal blocked its path.

Nanami stepped out of the door, looked up at the enormous creature, and said softly, "Don't even think about escaping, Mr. Moss. You haven't shown me all your abilities yet."

Ignoring the woman who was babbling in front of him, the moss giant quickly spat out a dense stream of seeds, trying to force open a passage.

But things weren't as easy as he thought.

With a wave of her hand, Nanami unleashed a wave of fiery sword energy that shattered the seeds in mid-air, burning them to ashes before they even hit the ground.

Without relying on the surrounding monsters, the moss giant charged forward alone, using its massive size to throw a series of punches, trying to use its weight to knock back the seemingly weak opponent in front of it.

The woman was so thin and barely moved, yet she managed to take more than ten punches from it before taking a step back, looking somewhat disappointed.

"No other tricks? How ugly," she said casually. "Looks like it's time to get rid of the pests."

"Be careful, Mr. Moss, this is the first time I've used a move like this."

As Nanami finished speaking, the aura of the Path of Fire emanated from her body, which she then gathered and concentrated in her palm. The surrounding space seemed to be unable to withstand it, faintly emitting a low rumbling sound.

"Be careful not to die suddenly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanami's hand suddenly reached forward, and space shattered at her fingertips, as if leading to another place.

The moss giant shuddered and stopped moving.

Nanami retrieved a huge magic stone from the shattered space, examined it for a moment in the sunlight, and nodded: "It seems that the completion of this move is quite good."

She put the magic stone away and looked up again at the moss giant, who was now unable to move.

"How weak you are, Mr. Moss. Let me send you to your death ahead of time."

The moss giant slowly collapsed, its body turning into a cloud of black mist that quickly dissipated.

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

Meanwhile, Alphia, who was still on her way, took in all of this.

The seed on Metria's neck had vanished without a trace with the death of the Moss Giant, and everything had returned to normal. Alphia watched for a moment, then relaxed.

She lowered her head and began to feel the atmosphere around her again.

This wasn't the first time she'd entered this state, but this time was different. Many monsters had died in the battle, and she could see their souls drifting above the still-present corpses, emitting mournful cries—a noisy, chaotic cacophony.

They followed an unseen path and drifted together toward the depths of the lake.

Alphia followed the flow of energy and sensed a gathering point somewhere at the bottom of the lake. Souls from there sank into the underground city, were devoured, and awaited their next rebirth.

It seems the exit to the underground city is right there. Our people don't have underwater movement skills, so this is enough. Once this area is cleared, the rest can be left to the Nyod Familia.

She looked up. Scattered murloc monsters and blue crabs were still gathering in the direction of the group on the battlefield. The only truly powerful one was the murloc leader, who was still locked in combat with Finn.

A dense aura of death gathered from all directions, slowly swirling around her.

She sensed a certain opportunity from this aura, as if something had just arrived at the right moment.

She spoke based on her intuition.

"The source of calamity, the declaration of end, bearing sin is my destiny."

The sound changed the moment it left her throat. The surrounding air began to vibrate, and fine ripples spread across the lake's surface—

It wasn't the wind, but the sound itself leaving its mark on the water's surface.

"Unforgivable, unavoidable, unsustainable, the resounding voice of heaven and earth is my judgment."

The deeper the chanting went, the more pronounced the low-frequency vibrations became. The monsters grew uneasy; the blue crab clenched its pincers, and the merman monster clutched its gill slits, as if the sound was beginning to disintegrate them from within.

"The silence of the earth, the song of the end, the rhythm of death, is the final destination of all things—"

"Answer my call, silence the beating heart, still the flowing blood, crumble, final bell tower!"

A crack appeared in the sky, and a colossal clock tower emerged, its silhouette dark and menacing, as if it had been dragged out of some place that didn't belong here. It hung above the lake, then let out a chime.

The tolling of the bells seemed to be a manifestation of the rhythm of death.

The sound waves spread outwards visibly, causing ripples to spread across the lake water and making the pebbles and soil on the ground tremble slightly.

The remaining merman monsters and blue crabs stopped moving at the sound of the bell, collapsing one after another. The crystal turtle, still panting heavily from its injuries, finally succumbed and fell with a mournful cry.

Although the merman leader was still standing, he was already like a candle flickering in the wind, and the wounds on his body spread rapidly after the bell rang.

A deathly aura filled its eyes. It raised its head, but before it could even see where it was going, Finn was already in front of it.

"Pierce through it!"

Tirnano launched an attack, his spear piercing its vitals.

The merman leader glanced down and slowly lowered his head.

The lake calmed down again. A breeze blew across the water, carrying a fishy smell and a coolness, dispersing the last bit of black mist.

The mission at Lolog Lake is now complete.

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

A few days later, in the forest clearing of Prometheus's retinue.

"A toast to the complete success of this Lake Logg expedition!"

"Cheers!!!"

Before the sound of glasses clinking had even faded, Njord and Loki both came over.

"We really owe a lot to your two families' children this time." Njord put down his cup, his expression still showing some lingering fear. "To be honest, I was shocked when I received the battle report. I didn't expect the situation at Lake Lolog to be so dangerous."

"Indeed," Loki chimed in. "Three monsters with near-Level 4 potential suddenly appeared. Anyone else would have run away long ago. That's what makes a familia focused on combat different—our kids' potential is unmatched by any other familia."

As she said this, her chin was slightly raised.

Njord did not refute, but smiled and said, "In any case, on behalf of the fishermen of Mellen, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to both of your families."

"Oh, Njord, you're too kind." Loki waved his hand, but his tone still carried a hint of smugness. "In the end, this mission went fairly smoothly. Besides Finn setting the battlefield by the lake, the children of the Prometheus family also contributed a lot. And we made a lot of money this time."

Tianxing put down his wine glass and echoed, "Loki is right. Njord, no need for special thanks, it's all we should do."

"That's right! And all my kids have reached Lv.3 when they came back this time! They've caught up with yours, Nyod."

Njord laughed heartily, "That's really remarkable. It took our child a long time to develop."

"There's another good news for you." Tianxing paused, "The Loki Familia has decided to stay in Melron for the time being."

Njord raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Have you already considered the next steps?"

Loki, resting his chin on his hand, continued, "After the cleanup at Lake Lolog was completed, the situation has basically stabilized. The fact that the underwater entrance can't be sealed off immediately isn't a major problem."

"We've thoroughly explored that area; it's perfect for developing into an adventurer's base. With a little effort, we can attract adventurers and recruit talented individuals. So, we plan to establish a foothold in Melen first, and then consider expanding to Orario."

She turned to look at Njord: "What do you think?"

Njord nodded and smiled, "That's certainly a good thing. Mellen can join in the fun too. If you need any help, just let me know."

Tianxing raised his glass at the opportune moment: "Welcome to Mellentown, Loki."
