Crossover Anime: From DanMachi to Becoming a Garbage Scavenging Master

A few days later, on the shore somewhere in Lolog Lake.

Finn frowned slightly as he looked at the two mermen before him, and asked Alphia with a hint of worry, "Miss Alphia, is this all there is to this exploration mission?"

Alphia noticed his doubt and nodded gently, explaining, "Master Nanami has another mission and has already set off for Orario with Lord Prometheus and Lady Astrea."

"Setting off so soon..." Finn murmured to himself, lost in thought. "Is it what Lord Loki mentioned yesterday... to find people capable of building the labyrinth?"

He took another look at the group in front of him. Apart from Alphia, a member of their clan, there were only two fishmen in front of him.

Although it is said that these two fishmen have demonstrated their ability to manipulate ocean currents in a public performance on the coast, and that they are very powerful.

Even so, the number of people is still too small.

If an unexpected situation arises, it may be difficult to have a comprehensive response plan.

Alphia seemed to see through his concerns, and added calmly but with a hint of confidence, "This exploration mission prioritizes mobility. I believe that having an elite team carry out the mission is the most suitable choice."

"And, right now, I'm already Lv.3."

Riveria and Grace, standing to the side, were clearly shocked by Alphia's astonishing leveling speed, their eyes revealing disbelief.

Finn remained silent for a moment, as if processing the information, before slowly saying, "In that case, let's prepare to begin our operation."

He raised his hand and pointed to a spot on the lake, his tone regaining its usual calmness.

"This location is one of the areas with relatively sparse monster populations that we've explored over the past year. We can start from here and gradually advance downwards to find out the specific situation underwater."

After hearing this arrangement, Jinbe seemed somewhat unimpressed.

He nudged Tiger beside him with his elbow, his eyes conveying a hint of urgency—clearly, he wanted these land adventurers to witness the skills of the merfolk.

Tiger understood immediately, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Captain Finn, leave the initial basic reconnaissance to us. The underwater world is our turf."

Upon hearing this, Finn did not respond immediately, but instead glanced at Alphia.

Seeing her nod slightly in agreement, he took out a notebook from his pocket and briefly explained to the two the characteristics and activity patterns of the aquatic monsters they had encountered before.

After explaining—

With a "whoosh" sound, there was a sound.

The two figures instantly leaped into the water, creating brief ripples on the surface before returning to calm.

In a short while, it had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

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

After a period of time—

The once calm water surface suddenly rippled with unusual waves.

Immediately afterwards, a loud "splash" of water exploded!

Two figures rushed out of the water in a panic, shouting at the same time, "Enemy attack!!"

They retreated rapidly towards the shore while shouting warnings.

The next instant, accompanied by a muffled churning sound of water, a huge black shadow suddenly leaped out of the water and hovered on the shore.

It was a fish-shaped monster that was entirely black and purple.

Its body is made of some kind of hard rock, with sharp edges and a cold sheen. It is about two meters long, with eight fin-like organs that spread out like blades, and a single scarlet eye embedded in the center of its forehead.

At that moment, the blood-red eye slowly turned, locking onto the group.

The next moment—

"roar--!!"

A deafening roar erupted, as if the air itself had been torn apart.

As Tiger landed, he quickly turned around and shouted a warning, "This guy's body is made of some kind of rock, it's ridiculously hard! Be careful not to get ambushed!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the monster charged at him!

"Bang!!"

Grace raised his shield and blocked the attack.

But the next second, the monster suddenly opened its huge mouth and bit down!

"Snap!"

The shield was instantly cracked by the bite, and Grace became somewhat excited.

Just then, Jinbe unleashed a Fishman Karate attack from a distance.

An invisible shockwave blasted into the monster's body, and then with a deafening boom, the monster was blasted into pieces.

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the lake began to churn again.

The next moment, even more monsters rushed out of the water all at once! And everyone understood why Tiger and the others were panicking.

Alphia leaped lightly, soaring into the air, and then changed direction several times in mid-air, arriving at the side and rear of a monster.

She clenched her right fist, and then a layer of black power slowly covered her arm.

"Armament Haki... Internal Destruction!"

A strange energy containing will flowed continuously from Alphia's body into the monster, and then exploded!

After reflecting on the attack, Alphia immediately understood that the key to these monsters' ability to float in the air and harden their bodies lay in their magic.

Since that's the case, her gaze sharpened.

"Peace of the Soul!"

An invisible force instantly spread out from her center.

The spell "Garden of Tranquility" is activated.

Around her, magic seemed to be suppressed, becoming slow, or even stagnant.

She is the queen who wields magic!

Subsequently, the area affected by the magic grew larger and larger, and the monsters that were originally floating in the air lost their support and crashed to the ground one after another.

They began to convulse violently, as if they had suddenly lost all their strength.

Before anyone could be surprised, they rushed forward to finish off the attackers.

Having lost their magic, these monsters' bodies are no longer as tough. Their once indestructible stone shells can now be shattered with a single blow.

Before long, the shore became quiet again, leaving only a pile of broken wreckage.

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

"Those monsters were the only ones we found in the vicinity in the deep water."

Tiger slowly began to speak, recounting the whole story in detail.

"As for the absence of other monsters in the surrounding waters, it's probably because this area has already been occupied by them."

"We discovered an undercurrent here, which seemed to lead to a cave. It was as we approached the cave that we disturbed these monsters."

He paused briefly as he spoke, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Now that the monsters have been mostly cleared out, should we take this opportunity to go in and explore what might be hidden inside the cave?"

Finn nodded slightly after hearing this, also feeling that this was a rare opportunity. He discussed it briefly with Alphia and then decided to adopt Tiger's suggestion.

Tiger took out bubble corals and blew a bubble for each of them, enabling them to move underwater. Once ready, the group dived into the water together, following the route he and his companions had previously discovered.

Despite having just wiped out a wave of monsters, the group could still see all sorts of demonic creatures swimming in the distance as they moved through the undercurrents.

Not far away, one could even vaguely see a gigantic octopus monster never seen before, slowly swimming in the water, bringing an invisible sense of oppression.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and I don't know how much time had passed.

When everyone resurfaced, they were greeted by a magnificent and imposing waterfall.

In the middle of the lake not far away, a two-headed dragon with purple and blue veins stood silently.

That was none other than—Amphisbarna, the floor master of the City of Water Mystery!
