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

Yingping used Shadow Step to appear and disappear unpredictably on the battlefield, and with Eagle Eye's dynamic vision, the kobolds' movements appeared to him as if in slow motion.

Kokkoro, on the other hand, acts as a support, assisting and collecting magic stones. Their seamless teamwork greatly increases the efficiency of their killing spree.

[Kill the Kobold (20/40)]

As the twentieth kobold fell, Yingping suddenly noticed strange marks on the ground: "This is... a trap?"

He crouched down, and his eagle-eyed ability allowed him to easily spot the cleverly disguised snares and spikes.

If it weren't discovered beforehand, most adventurers would likely fall victim to it.

"Master, could all of this... have been orchestrated by the dog-headed man?"

Kokoro squatted on the ground with her hands wrapped around her knees, asking in great confusion.

"No, this must be a trap set by humans."

"Kokkoro, it seems we need to be more careful."

"Whether it's a monster or a human adventurer, we need to be extra careful."

Yingping took a sip from the kettle. "In the dungeon, you must not be careless or negligent."

Kokkoro nodded, her elven ears suddenly perking up: "Master, it looks like something big is coming..."

The ground began to shake, and a huge figure, at least three meters tall, appeared at the end of the passage.

It was a giant dog-headed man wearing simple armor, his greatsword gleaming coldly.

[Encountered a heretical kobold chieftain, level 2+]

【Characteristics: Frenzy, High Durability】

"High durability, right?"

Yingping grinned, "Kokkoro, prepare all the buffs for me!"

"Holy Light, protect my master."

"Aurora Borealis in Full Bloom!"

Kokoro obeyed, and the crystal on her staff shone with a dazzling green light. The Hymn of Courage and the Blessing of the Spirits were simultaneously bestowed upon Yingping.

Ying Ping took a deep breath, feeling as light as a swallow, and at the same time activated three skills again.

He charged at the heretical kobold, sword in hand, and roared, "Die!"

"puff!!!"

The crimson sword light struck down like lightning, and the kobold chieftain was cleaved in two from head to toe before he could even raise his axe.

"boom!!"

A flash of black ash appeared, and a large magic stone and some special drops landed on the ground.

[Slay the heretical kobold chieftain]

[Reward: 100 experience points]

[Obtained: High-Quality Stainless Steel Wristguards]

[Special kill reward: Strength +5, Agility +3, Dexterity +3, Durability +3]

Yingping immediately checked the fallen items and found that the wristband fit him perfectly.

[Stainless Steel Wristband (Superior) Effect: Increases the wearer's durability by +5]

"Nice equipment."

Upon seeing that this thing could actually increase stats, Yingping immediately put on the steel wrist guards.

Kokoro trotted over, her eyes full of admiration: "Master, that attack you just made was so cool!"

"No, it's all thanks to Kokkoro's magical support."

Yingping smiled and ruffled her hair. "Let's continue cautiously. There's still a long time before sunset."

Time ticked by, and they finally killed the fortieth kobold.

As the last monster fell, a strangely shaped bronze key appeared out of thin air in Ying Ping's hand.

The system notification sounded again:

【mission completed】

[Kill the Kobold (40/40)]

[Reward: Mysterious Key x1]

Ying Ping held a simple bronze key in his hand, with strange runes engraved on the handle.

[Mysterious Key: Can unlock a special trial; recommended level to unlock: LV5.]

"interesting..."

Yingping examined the key carefully and muttered to himself, "A special trial at level 5?"

Kokoro curiously leaned closer: "Master, what is this?"

"A special prop."

Yingping put the key away. "We'll study it when we get back. Kokoro, let's work harder. I'll be leveling up soon."

Kokoro immediately perked up, smiling and nodding, "Yes, I will do my best to assist my master!"

Chapter 14: Upgraded to LV4 and obtained the Lightning Enchantment! [Requesting Flowers]

As yet another kobold fell, a warm current suddenly surged through Yingping's body.

He closed his eyes and felt the surging power in his body.

It really got upgraded!

As usual, allocate the upgraded 10 attribute points to Strength and Agility!

[Level upgraded to LV4]

[Shadow King Upgrade System]

[Level]: LV4

【Strength】：56→66

After the upgrade, he felt a powerful surge of strength in his muscles, which made him clench his fists involuntarily.

"Master, congratulations on becoming stronger again!"

Kokoro tilted her little face up, her ruby-like eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Well, let's go."

Yingping's confidence soared, and he stretched his shoulders. "Let's go check out the fifth floor."

Keep in mind that even level 1 adventurers can reach the 13th floor.

He's already LV4 and he's still wandering around the fourth floor with Kokkoro, which is really a bit too cautious.

After passing through the passage deep inside the fourth floor, the two arrived at the fifth floor.

The air here is more humid and sultry, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with fluorescent moss.

[Fifth-level quest triggered]

[Slay 50 Ugly Demons (0/50)]

[Reward: Magic - Lightning Enchantment]

"Finally, I have magic skills."

Yingping's spirits lifted, and he drew his steel longsword. "Kokoro, this is Ugly Demon's territory, we must not be careless!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than several ugly creatures darted out of the shadows.

[Encountered an ugly demon, level 1]

【Characteristics: Sonic attack, Agile】

They have grayish-green skin, disproportionately large heads, and thin limbs, resembling distorted dwarfs.

What's most unsettling is that huge mouth that takes up almost half of his face, filled with sharp teeth.

"Gaaaaaah—"

The ugly demon let out a piercing scream, the sound waves causing rubble to fall from the rock face.

Kokoro immediately covered her ears: "Master, be careful! This is their sonic attack!"

Ying Ping merely frowned; his LV4 physique made him almost immune to this level of sonic attack.

He flashed, his longsword flashing a silver light.

"puff!"

The head of the first ugly monster flew off with a sound.

[Defeat the Ugly Demon (1/50)]

[Reward: 15 experience points]

Upon seeing this, the remaining few immediately scattered and climbed and jumped on the rock face at an astonishing speed.

"They escaped pretty quickly."

Ying Ping sneered, "Shadow Step!"

His figure vanished instantly, and the next moment he appeared behind an ugly demon.

With a sweep of the longsword, another monster was reduced to ashes.

[Defeat the Ugly Demon (2/50)]

Kokkoro wasn't idle either. She raised her staff and aimed at a hideous demon that was trying to sneak up on her: "Holy Light Arrow!"

A beam of green light shot out, striking the ugly demon precisely in the chest.

Although the damage was not high, it successfully interrupted its actions.

Yingping seized the opportunity to deliver a finishing blow, easily resolving the situation.

The ensuing battle was almost entirely a one-sided massacre.

Yingping, at level 4, moved through the fifth floor of the dungeon as if it were empty; the speed of the ugly demons seemed like slow motion to him.

Shadow Step!

He transformed into a blur and rushed forward, his longsword aimed straight for the ugly demon's throat.

"puff!"

The ugly demon's scream abruptly stopped with the dull thud of the sword piercing flesh.

But more monsters were swarming in from all directions, their sharp claws scraping against the rocks with a sickening sound.
