Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

However, the dragon reacted extremely quickly, suddenly shaking its head and using its hard horns to block the attack!

"clang!"

Sparks flew as Ying Ping was thrown into the air by the recoil, tumbling several times before landing steadily.

"Tsk, even though it's two levels below me, its dragon horns are harder than I expected..."

The dragon was clearly enraged; it opened its blood-red maw, and a dangerous red light shone from deep within its throat—

The second dragon's breath is brewing!

"We can't let it spray out!"

"Continue to use magic to restrain it!"

Winning and tying the score, he shouted.

"understand!"

Kokoro gripped her staff tightly with both hands, closed her eyes, and began to chant, "O spirit of nature, heed my call—"

"Nature's Wrath!"

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and countless thick thorny vines burst forth from the soil, coiling around the dragon's body like giant snakes!

"Roar!"

The dragon struggled frantically, but the sharp thorns on the vines dug deep into the gaps between its scales and wouldn't let go, causing it immense pain!

"It's now!"

A cold glint flashed in Ying Ping's eyes, and he unleashed his full power!

Shadow Step!

His figure vanished instantly, and the next second he appeared directly on top of the giant dragon's head!

"Crippling attack, charged strike!"

The longsword pierced the dragon's left eye, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

"Ow!"

The dragon let out a mournful howl and frantically shook its head!

Ying Ping gripped the sword hilt tightly, his body swaying from side to side as he was thrown about, but he gritted his teeth and slashed the blade downwards with a sudden force—

"Pfft!"

The dragon's eyeballs were completely ripped open!

"It's not over yet!"

Yingping used the momentum to leap up again, holding the sword above his head with both hands!

"Charge a powerful attack!"

The pitch-black sword light fell like a meteorite, striking the dragon's nose hard!

"Crack!"

The sound of scales shattering was clearly audible; the dragon's nasal bone was severed by this sword!

"Roar......"

The dragon's momentum clearly weakened, and its struggles began to diminish.

Without pausing after landing, Ying Ping abruptly activated the True Name Release of the Hestia Sword!

"Please, Hestia!"

A deep blue light shot into the sky, and all the sacred characters on the sword lit up!

"Clang—Clang—"

The death knell tolled once more.

Shadow Step!

Ying Ping instantly appeared behind the dragon, unleashing a "Crippling Strike!"

The sword blade pierced deep into the dragon's back, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

The dragon writhed in agony, its tail sweeping towards Yingping.

Ying Ping neither dodged nor avoided the attack, his hands still gripping the sword—

"One more time—charge up for a powerful strike!"

"Pfft!"

The enormous dragon tail was forcibly severed!

"Blade Storm!"

Ying Ping spun around, his longsword creating a violent tornado that drew in the power of lightning, transforming it into a devastating lightning storm!

"Boom—!"

The storm engulfed the dragon completely, its scales were peeled off piece by piece, and its flesh was charred by lightning!

When the storm subsided, the dragon lay dying on the ground, its body charred black, barely breathing.

Ying Ping dragged his long sword and walked step by step toward the dragon's throat.

"Fall."

A crimson sword light, imbued with lightning, flashed, and the dragon's head separated from its body, instantly showering blood everywhere.

"boom!"

In the end, the dragon also turned into black ashes and vanished.

"There are quite a few good items here, I just need a few more experience points to level up."

Yingping breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Kokoro: "We won."

Kokoro ran over and jumped into Yingping's arms: "Master is so amazing, it's all thanks to you!"

Yingping smiled and ruffled her hair: "That's not true. I couldn't have done it without your cooperation."

"Those vines were tied up just in time."

Kokoro smiled happily, but quickly looked at Yingping's wounds with concern: "Master is injured... I will treat you right away!"

"Ah."

Yingping nodded and, after receiving Kokoro's treatment, was back to full health.

After collecting their spoils, the two continued on to the next level.

...

Stepping onto the twelfth floor, the environment here is very similar to the floor above.

However, the fog in the air became thinner, and visibility improved considerably.

The ground was littered with traces left by various monsters, some still bearing fresh blood, indicating that adventurers had recently fought here.

"The kill count has doubled, and it's another reward: a minion summoning card?"

Yingping raised an eyebrow. "Does the system know that my clan is short of people?"

Kokkoro gripped her staff tightly, warily glancing around: "Master, there seem to be more monsters on this floor than before..."

"Just right."

Ying Ping drew the 'Sword of Hestia', a fighting spirit rising on his lips. "Let me kill to my heart's content today."

The slaughter begins!

The first wave of monsters appeared quickly.

Five heavy armadillos, each the size of a calf, covered in hard shells, charged at us like a moving fortress!

【Features: Superior defense, charge】

Yingping neither dodged nor avoided, but charged straight at him!

"Crippling blow!"

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced through precisely, and green blood gushed out!

[Slay a Heavy Armadillo (5/400)]

At the same time, several silver-gray figures suddenly leaped down from the rock face.

Those were five silverback apes, their muscles bulging, their fangs bared, and their scarlet eyes flashing with ferocity!

[Encountered a silverback ape, level 3+]

【Characteristics: Climbing, Throwing】

"Owner!"

Kokoro immediately released a holy light barrier, blocking the stones thrown by the silverback ape.

Ying Ping sneered, "I love killing monsters like you!"

He suddenly activated the lightning enchantment, and the longsword transformed into a bolt of lightning!

"Chidori Blade!"

"Zzzzz—!"

The five silverback apes were instantly paralyzed by the lightning and their bodies were severed!

[Slay Silverback Ape (5/400)]

The battle intensified, and the number of monsters increased.

However, Yingping and Kokoro cooperated perfectly, with one as the main attacker and the other as the support, resulting in an astonishing killing efficiency.

[Slay a Heavy Armadillo (127/400)]

[Slay Silverback Ape (156/400)]

Suddenly, the ground began to shake!

"roar-!"

Five young dragons burst out of the cave. Although they were much smaller than the previous red-eyed dragons, they were still incredibly ferocious!
