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

"Don't be so hostile~ Aren't we friends?"

Hermes, with an air of familiarity, pulled out a chair and sat down, staring intently at Chizuka. "Hello, I am Hermes, and may I ask the name of this lovely lady..."

Just as his hand was about to touch Qian Shu's shoulder, Ying Ping suddenly looked up, and a sharp gaze mixed with murderous intent pierced through him like a dagger.

"Ah ha ha..."

Sensing the intense killing intent, Hermes' hand froze in mid-air.

He chuckled sheepishly and took it back. "So you were already taken, huh? You should have said so earlier. I was just joking..."

Seeing that most of the people at the table were staring at him coldly, he tactfully stood up and walked to an empty table in the distance: "Then I won't disturb your family gathering any longer~"

"See you next time, Hestia, it was great to see you both~"

After he walked away, Kokoro asked curiously, "Was that strange old man also a god?"

"Yes, Hermes, the messenger god of the heavens."

Hestia curled her lip: "That annoying guy who's always out gathering information, he's probably just here to have some fun."

Elena elegantly cut her steak: "Even though he's a god, he seems quite wary of Lord Yingping~"

"That's because the gods have sealed their power in the mortal realm and cannot use their divine power. Naturally, some of them will fear strong human beings like us."

Ying Ping did not take Hermes seriously.

As long as he continues to upgrade and become stronger, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses these gods from the Danma.

"Hmph, so what if they're gods? I hate frivolous men the most."

Takina glanced coldly at Hermes in the distance, "If he dares to get close to Chizuka again, I don't mind teaching him a lesson."

Soon, everyone forgot the unpleasantness from before, clinked glasses again, and laughter echoed throughout the tavern.

"Tsk, that guy's killing intent just now was quite something..."

Meanwhile, Hermes, sitting in the distance, stroked his chin thoughtfully, a calculating glint in his eyes.

Chapter 29 New Magic, Time-Controlled! [Seeking Flowers]

That evening, instead of returning to the church's basement, the group checked into a hotel in the city center.

After taking a bath, Yingping and Hestia fell asleep in each other's arms.

Silent all night.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the hotel windows, and Yingping had completed his "Daily Strongman" training.

He stretched his limbs, looked at his LV11 attribute panel, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's time to go."

Pushing open the door, four beautiful girls were already dressed and ready to go.

"Master, we're going to the dungeon today, right? I can't wait to defeat the monsters!" said Nishiki Chizuka with great enthusiasm.

Takina checked the bow and arrows: "They're in good condition. I'm ready for battle at any time."

Elena yawned lazily: "Haa~ Don't you guys think you're up a little too early~"

Kokoro stood obediently beside Yingping: "Master, we're going to test teamwork today, right?"

Yingping nodded: "Yes, you guys are the main force today."

.....

[In a dungeon of another world, there lives a beautiful girl with flowing gray hair. Her beauty and talent are so radiant that even the gods cannot look away. Who is she?]

Yes, it's me.

Elena followed behind Ying Ping and the others, silently muttering to herself.

Upon entering the thirteenth level of the underground city, the environment suddenly changed.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur, dark red moss covered the rock walls, and hot bubbles occasionally rose from the ground.

Although there is no longer any fog to obscure the view here, the environment is even more dangerous than on the upper level.

From this floor up to the 24th floor, it is suitable for adventurers of level 2 to explore, and is also known as the 'initial death line'.

[Thirteenth Floor Quest Triggered]

[Slay Hellhound (0/400)]

[Kill the Bloodsucking Worm (0/400)]

[Slay the Giant-Toothed Lion-Tiger (0/400)]

From now on, monsters killed by your servants will also grant experience, including the number of monsters killed during quests.

[All kills reward: Magic "Time-Limited Control"]

[Effect: While consuming mana, your speed is doubled]

"That's right, that's more like it."

"Looks like I won't have to be the one to collect every monster's head anymore."

A slight smile appeared on Ying Ping's lips.

The rule change implemented by the system is now in his best interest.

"Whoa, Hellhound? That name sounds ferocious!"

Chizuka whistled.

Takina had already drawn his longbow: "Everyone, be on alert! Three targets are approaching within 50 meters."

Sure enough, three giant dogs engulfed in flames burst forth from behind the rock wall, their fangs dripping with molten saliva.

[Hellhound LV3]

【Characteristics: Fire resistance, burn damage】

"let me!"

Chizuku rolled forward and fired a burst of short crossbow bolts.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three crossbow bolts struck the fierce dog precisely in the eyes.

"Ouch—"

After the three hellhounds let out mournful howls, they collapsed and turned into black ashes, from which magic stones were then released.

[Slay Hellhound (3/400)]

[Reward: 150 experience points]

"As expected... if they make a move, the kill count is now on my head, and I've also gained experience."

"Well done, Chizuka!"

Yingping nodded approvingly, "Elena, please use your telekinetic magic to move objects and bring the magic stone over."

"I see."

Elena raised her small hand, and her wand appeared with a 'whoosh,' its tip emitting a glimmer of light.

"Om~"

To everyone's astonishment, the three magic stones automatically lined up and flew straight towards them.

"Wow, Miss Elena's magic is so convenient! I can't do that!"

Kokoro's eyes widened, and she clapped her hands excitedly.

"Hmm, it's alright. After all, I'm a genius witch!"

After handing the magic stone to Yingping with a smile, Elena couldn't help but puff out her chest proudly.

"That's right, that's teamwork! Keep it up, everyone!"

Yingping couldn't help but touch Elena's gray hair, which immediately made her blush.

Soon, they encountered a new enemy—

"Boom!"

Five giant worms emerged from the cracks in the ground. They were blood red and their mouthparts were covered with barbs.

[Vampire Worm LV3]

【Characteristics: Burrowing, Life Stealing】

"Ugh, what a disgusting bug..."

Irena frowned, then lightly waved her staff: "Wind Blade!"

"Pfft!"

Dozens of sharp wind blades roared out, slicing the worms into pieces.

[Kill the Bloodsucking Worm (5/400)]

"Everyone, watch out behind you!"

Chizuku shouted and quickly fired a string of arrows from his crossbow!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

[Kill the Bloodsucking Worm (10/400)]

"Whoosh—Sniper!"

Takina calmly aimed at the distant target and drew the bowstring taut.

"boom!"

An arrow wreathed in blue light shot out like a laser, instantly piercing and strangling a row of blood-sucking worms!

[Kill the Bloodsucking Worm (18/400)]

Shh—Awesome!

"As expected of a level 11 archer..."

Yingping whistled, looking at Inoue Takina with new respect.

Kokkoro was always in charge of providing support, with her Holy Light Barrier and Healing Magic ensuring the safety of her teammates at all times.

With the skillful coordination of this five-person team consisting of four LV11 members and one LV10 member (Kokkoro).

The monsters on this floor are no match for them; they just line up to be killed as soon as they appear.

Yingping occasionally roams the edge of the battlefield, dealing only with those who manage to slip through the defenses.

"roar-!"

Suddenly, the roar of the giant-toothed lion-tiger echoed in the thirteenth level of the underground city, causing rubble to fall from the rock walls.

More than a dozen lions and tigers, each the size of a small mountain, surged in from all directions.

Their sharp fangs gleamed coldly, and their scarlet beastly eyes were fixed on Ying Ping and his group.

[Giant Lion Tiger LV3+]

【Characteristics: Strength Enhancement, Group Hunting】

"We're surrounded."

Yingping looked around, a smile playing on his lips.

"Master, please leave this to us!"

Kokoro gripped her staff tightly, and holy light gathered at the tip of the staff.

"of course."
