Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming decisively picked up his phone and used the final charge. At that moment, he was incredibly grateful that he hadn't been stingy with his Oddity Points before coming, and had used them all to upgrade the charge count, allowing the phone to take three consecutive shots in a short time.

A flash of light, and the shadowy figures on the stairs were all wiped out.

The four people immediately took the opportunity to climb the stairs and arrived on the right side of the second floor.

The corridor leading to the right was once again filled with a large number of shadow figures.

Xu Ming made a decisive move and led everyone into the dead end at the edge of the second-floor lobby.

This dead end is bordered by walls on two sides and a railing on the other. The only entrance is a narrow alleyway that can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

Haruyuki Arita, also a skilled gamer, immediately saw through his intentions and, without Xu Ming's prompting, proactively blocked the entrance.

"Erina, switch to fireball attack!"

Xu Ming immediately spoke to Erina, who was standing to the side.

"Okay, Dad!"

Silver-haired Erina immediately obeyed and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her hair had turned completely blonde.

"I've noticed that you only call me out when you're in trouble."

Erina, with her blonde hair, glared sharply at Xu Ming.

Chapter 198 Where did such a large Silver Imperial Guard go?

Despite saying that, Erina's hands moved quickly, immediately summoning a dozen or so fireballs and hurling them at the shadow figures in front of her.

Bah!Bah!Bah!

Like a series of firecrackers exploding and sparks flying, most of the shadow figures who rushed over were instantly wiped out.

"Well done, Erina!"

Xu Ming was generous with his praise for his daughter.

"Hmph! It was bound to happen."

Erina reached out and brushed the hair at her temples, tossing it behind her. Her long, golden hair fell like tassels, as if a thin golden cloak had been draped over her back.

The fierce battle continues...

Bah!

Silver Raven headbutted the shadow figure in front of him.

Several fireballs suddenly flew from behind him and smashed into the huddled shadow figures.

The dozen or so shadow figures vanished into thin air in an instant.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the head of a shadow figure exploded.

The shadow figures, however, persisted and surrounded them again.

Crack! With a soft sound, a bolt of purple-gold lightning instantly ripped through the entire hall.

Dozens of shadow figures vanished instantly in a burst of light.

The mastermind behind this otherworldly realm seems to have finally realized that he was doing something futile, and the number of shadow figures has finally stopped increasing.

The remaining shadow men were quickly wiped out.

Xu Ming let out a long breath and shook his sore arms.

After a fierce battle lasting half an hour, we can finally catch our breath.

For the past half hour, he had been constantly wielding the crowbar in his hand, switching from his left hand to his right when his left got tired, using both arms in turn, and even so, he was still exhausted.

"Is everyone alright?"

After catching his breath, Xu Ming asked casually.

"I'm fine."

Haruyuki Arita gave a thumbs up.

"Hmph, just a lowly soldier."

The elegant Frenchwoman tossed her hair with an air of haughtiness.

Xu Ming nodded.

Ok?

He suddenly sensed something was wrong; it seemed like one person was missing.

He quickly turned around.

Wait! Shirogane Miyuki?! Where did Shirogane Miyuki go? Where did such a large Shirogane Miyuki go?

Shirogane Miyuki, who had been hiding behind him, suddenly disappeared.

……

Hidden behind Xu Ming, Shirogane Miyuki nervously gripped the dagger in his hand, his eyes fixed on the front of the group.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd witnessed this extraordinary scene, his heart still raced.

Such large-scale battles are far more exciting than those in movies or games.

Of course, it's also much more dangerous.

If Xu Ming and the others at the front can't hold out, he won't be able to escape either.

Shirogane Miyuki, however, did not notice the ink-like mark that suddenly appeared beneath his feet, which slowly grew larger.

By the time Shirogane Miyuki realized something was wrong, the black marks had expanded to the point where they could completely engulf him.

! !

Just as he was about to call for help, he suddenly sank, as if he had fallen into a pool of water.

thump!

With a barely perceptible soft sound, Shirogane Miyuki had vanished completely.

Shirogane Miyuki felt as if he had sunk into a swamp, with things covering him from all sides, squeezing his body, as if trying to force their way into him.

Shirogane Miyuki subconsciously held his breath and began to flail his arms and legs wildly.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Whoosh!

Shirogane Miyuki was spat out and fell heavily to the ground.

"Well!"

He let out a painful groan.

He endured the physical pain and slowly got up from the ground.

It was pitch black all around, with only the sound of dripping water echoing in the empty space.

Shirogane Miyuki quickly took out the flashlight Xu Ming had given him and pressed the switch.

The beam of light shot out from the flashlight, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Shirogane Miyuki looked around in confusion.

What exactly is this place?

At this moment, he felt as if he were in an ancient underground palace, with the floor and walls made of stone bricks.

The damp environment caused the stone bricks to grow dark green moss, which looked disgusting.

There was an underground river to the side. When you shone a flashlight on it, the dark water was bottomless and emitted a foul stench.

Shirogane Miyuki shone his flashlight forward, revealing a maze-like labyrinth of interconnected paths.

The terrain here is too complex; waiting for rescue in place is pointless.

And there was someone waiting for him...

He can't stop now!

Having made up his mind, Shirogane Miyuki immediately shone his flashlight forward.

After he walked away, ripples suddenly appeared in the dark river, the ripples quickly expanded, and then the entire river surface began to tremble.

Whoosh!

A gigantic monster, composed of dark 'mud' and resembling a slime, slowly emerged from beneath the river's surface.

Glug glug!

A strange sound emanated from the monster's body, and it began to slowly crawl forward, heading in the direction where Shirogane Miyuki had left!

Shirogane Miyuki held a flashlight in one hand and covered his mouth and nose with the other.

The underground palace smelled terrible, with a musty smell from the moss mixed with the stench of rotting garbage.

After taking a few steps, you'll see the dead bodies of rats or insects emerging from under your feet.

The disgusting environment made him subconsciously quicken his pace.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, I heard the sound of flowing water behind me, as if something was moving in the river.

Shirogane Miyuki shone his flashlight behind him, but saw nothing.

After walking a few more steps, the sound of flowing water behind us became clearer and clearer.

Shirogane Miyuki shone his flashlight on the river behind him again, and the once calm surface began to ripple.

As Shirogane Miyuki was wondering, a black monster that looked like a slime suddenly emerged from around the corner and pounced on him.

"No way?!"

Shirogane Miyuki let out a scream and took off running, with the monster hot on his heels.

A fierce chase ensued in the underground labyrinth.
