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

There is laughter, there are friends, and there are everyday moments worth protecting.

"This adventurer, sir."

Seele suddenly leaned closer, lowering her voice mysteriously, "I heard you have some kind of feud with the Apollo Familia? They seem to be plotting something lately..."

A cold glint flashed in Yingping's eyes, but he quickly regained his gentle smile: "Really? Thank you for the reminder, clerk. May I ask your name is Hill?"

"Well, my name is Hill Frova, hehe, what's your name?"

Hill put his hands behind his back, tilted his head, and asked with a smile.

"My name is Yingping, nice to meet you."

Yingping smiled and nodded.

Now, no matter how Freya treats him, he doesn't care anymore.

With his LV18 Shadow King strength, he could completely dominate the entire Orario as long as the gods didn't intervene.

When I emerged from the Abundant Mistress's Tavern, the streets of Orario were already ablaze with lights.

Colorful lanterns hung on both sides of the street, and the shouts of vendors rose and fell, creating a joyous scene everywhere.

The air was filled with the aroma of grilled meat and various other delicious foods.

"Yes, today is the first day of the temple fair celebration!"

Hestia's eyes lit up, and her drunkenness dissipated somewhat. She excitedly tugged at Yingping's sleeve and shook it, "Yingping-kun, let's go play!"

Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Yingping smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Chizuka and Takina exchanged a glance and stood on either side of Yingping, each taking his arm.

"Master~ Temple fairs are more fun when everyone goes together!"

Chizuka blinked and revealed a sly smile.

Although Takina didn't say anything, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, but the strength in her hands didn't loosen at all.

Seeing this, Elena snorted and squeezed in front of Yingping, turning to face him: "Master, I want to eat apple candy!"

Kokkoro followed obediently behind, muttering softly, "Everyone seems to have become a little scary..."

Thus, Yingping walked along the bustling temple fair street, surrounded by a group of women.

Passersby cast envious glances, especially the male adventurers, whose eyes practically popped out of their sockets—

After all, the scene of a man surrounded by five beautiful girls with different styles is simply too eye-catching.

"Hey, are those people from the Hestia Familia?"

"That man, is he the Ying Ping who supposedly crippled the leader of the Apollo Familia?"

"I really want to convert to their clan!"

"Damn it, he doesn't look anything special, so why does he have so many beautiful women around him...?"

Whispers continued to circulate, but Yingping paid no attention.

He was being led by Hestia with his left arm and Kokoro with his right, with the enthusiastic Chizuka and Takina following behind.

"Didn't you want some candy? Here, take it."

Yingping handed the candy he had just bought to Elena.

"Thank you, Master!"

Elena happily took it, took a small bite, and her big eyes immediately narrowed with happiness, "Mmm, so sweet..."

This scene drew envious glances from many adventurers around.

Hestia had drunk a bit too much and was practically clinging to Yingping.

She pointed to a stall in the distance with a grin: "Yingping-jun, I want that headdress that lights up!"

Yingping smiled helplessly, helped her walk over, bought a star-shaped hair clip, and gently pinned it to her hair.

"Does it look good?"

Hestia tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course it looks good, it suits you perfectly."

Ying Ping said softly.

Just as everyone was enjoying the temple fair, a loud gong and drum sound suddenly echoed throughout the entire street.

Chapter 41 Encounter with the Moon Goddess Artemis! [Please Subscribe to the Full Chapter!]

"Clang clang clang!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sudden sound of gongs and drums.

On a temporary platform not far away, one could see...

Hermes, whom I had only met once a while ago, was standing there in a sharp suit, energetically shouting through a magical megaphone:

"Attention all adventurers in Orario!"

"Warriors who are confident in their abilities, please sign up for our special challenge as soon as possible!"

His attendant, Asfi, adjusted his glasses and silently displayed a spear encased in ice crystals on the stage.

The spear emitted a faint blue light, and strange magical patterns were condensed on its ice crystal surface.

"Whoever can pull out this frozen spear will win a round-the-world trip sponsored by the Hermes Clan!"

"Registration for this event is completely free, this is a rare opportunity!"

The noise instantly sobered Hestia up considerably.

She frowned and muttered, "That Hermes guy... what kind of trick is he up to now..."

Chizuka's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Yingping's hand: "Master! This sounds interesting, let's go take a look!"

Before Yingping could answer, she had already dragged him toward the high platform.

Hestia sighed helplessly and followed along with the others.

The area around the platform was already crowded with onlookers.

Several burly adventurers were trying to pull out the frozen spear, but no matter how hard they tried, the spear wouldn't budge, and not even a crack appeared in the ice crystals.

"Haha, it seems this challenge is going to be quite difficult!"

Hermes smiled and surveyed the crowd, his gaze pausing noticeably when he saw Ying Ping and his group. "Well then, who's the next challenger?"

Chizuka eagerly raised her hand: "Me! Me! Let me try!"

Hermes' eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted with great enthusiasm, "Then please come up and give it a try, lovely little girl!"

Chizuka nimbly leaped onto the platform and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, grasped the spear.

However, even though she tried her best and her face turned red, the spear still did not react at all.

"Sorry, little girl."

Hermes shrugged regretfully, "It seems you're not destined for this divine weapon."

Chisuke pouted and reluctantly returned to Yingping's side: "Master, why don't you give it a try too!"

Hermes' gaze immediately locked onto Ying Ping, and his smile became meaningful: "Oh? Isn't this Lord Ying Ping, the leader of the Hestia Familia?"

"I heard you've become quite famous lately. How about you give me a challenge?"

The surrounding crowd immediately stirred.

"It's Ying Ping from the Hestia Familia!"

"I heard he single-handedly took down the leader of the Apollo Familia!"

"This looks like it's starting to get interesting..."

Ying Ping narrowed his eyes slightly; his intuition told him that this frozen spear was no ordinary challenge item.

"Could it be that...."

Ying Ping suddenly recalled a moon goddess named Artemis, who represented chastity.

That goddess was one of Hestia's friends in the heavens.

There can only be one reason why her artifact is in Orario at this moment, and that is...

"let me try."

Yingping took a deep breath, looked at the expectant eyes of the girls around him, and calmly walked up to the platform.

"please."

Hermes made an inviting gesture, a sly glint in his eyes.

The moment Ying Ping reached out and grasped the spear, a bone-chilling coldness immediately traveled up his palm.

[Obtain the legendary Orion's Spear]

The system notification panel had just popped up when a melodious and pleasant voice rang in his ears:

I've found you...

The sacred characters on the spear lit up one by one, radiating a dazzling light.

Before Ying Ping could even exert any force, the ice crystals sealing the spear shattered automatically, turning into starlight and dissipating into the air.

"How could my filthy modern soul be chosen by the Moon Goddess?"

Ying Ping looked at the spear in his hand, which was emitting a faint blue light, with some surprise.

It felt weightless in his hands, yet it radiated powerful energy fluctuations.

Hermes lowered his hat brim, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "I see, Lord Yingping, fate has chosen you..."

The scene was boiling instantly!

"My God! That person really pulled it out!"

"That's a weapon that even a Level 5 weapon can't budge when used at full power!"

"As expected of the leader of the Hestia Familia!"

Hestia excitedly rushed up the platform and hugged Yingping tightly: "Yingping-kun! You're amazing!"

Chizuka, Takina, Elena, and Kokoro in the audience also showed surprised expressions and clapped and cheered along with the crowd.

Hermes stepped forward and gracefully bowed to Ying Ping: "Congratulations, Your Excellency Ying Ping, on becoming the lucky winner of this event."

Although Yingping was wary of this cunning deity, he couldn't refuse a smiling face, so he politely shook hands with him.

"but......"

Hermes suddenly raised his voice, "The real surprise is just beginning!"

"Let's welcome the special sponsor of this event—"

"Artemis, the goddess of the moon who governs chastity in the heavens, has arrived!"

As he finished speaking, under everyone's gaze, a goddess of unparalleled beauty slowly walked out.

She wore a smart leather battle dress, her long legs appearing and disappearing beneath the hem.

Her neat, light blue short hair fluttered in the wind, the ends glistening with a crystalline sheen.

Those clear, green eyes, like autumn water, swept over the crowd below the stage, finally settling on Ying Ping.

Yingping's heart skipped a beat.

The goddess's beauty exceeded his expectations.

Unlike Hestia's cuteness and liveliness.

Artemis exudes a cool and noble aura, yet she also possesses a gentle and approachable charm.

When Yingping saw her, his breath hitched slightly.

"What a nice view......"

He muttered to himself unconsciously.
