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

“Yes, you did very well, Elena. It’s an admirable level of awareness.”

Yingping patted Elena's head: "No matter what method we use, we must survive and then return to our world."

He paused, then reached out to wipe away the tears on Elena's cheeks. "So, pull yourself together as soon as possible, because the battles ahead will only be more brutal and dangerous."

"If you encounter a problem that you really can't solve, just leave it to me. You can all step back behind me."

Upon hearing this, Elena took a deep breath and tried to suppress the churning in her stomach.

She gripped her staff tightly and slowly straightened up: "...I understand."

Kokkoro picked up her spear and wiped her eyes, saying, "I...I'll adjust my mindset. Kokkoro will protect her master!"

Yingping smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, then let's move on."

Amidst the wind and snow, the three figures once again stepped onto the stone bridge, heading towards Ashina Castle in the distance.

Chapter 33 A Massacre at Ashina Castle! [Seeking Flowers]

Just as Yingping was about to lead Elena and Kokoro across the bridge, a strange noise suddenly pierced the air!

"Shhhhhh!"

From the city wall, countless arrows pierced the air, and a dark rain of arrows instantly enveloped the three of them!

"Kokkoro!"

Ying Ping let out a low shout.

"Holy Light Barrier!"

Kokkoro reacted extremely quickly, slamming her staff into the ground, and a dazzling golden light shield instantly unfolded, protecting the three of them within.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

The arrows struck the barrier and bounced off, but the rain of arrows continued unabated, clearly indicating that the Ashina Castle defenders intended to suppress them with long-range firepower.

"Hmph, you're asking for death."

Ying Ping sneered and turned to Elena, saying, "You guys hold them off for now, I'll go deal with them."

"Master, be careful!"

Kokoro said worriedly.

Without hesitation, Ying Ping rushed out of the barrier, exerted force with his feet, and leaped up like a cannonball, instantly jumping onto the city wall that was more than ten meters high!

"Inherent Time Control - Double Speed!"

His body suddenly accelerated, time seemed to slow down around him, and his movements were as fast as lightning!

"Shhhhh!"

The Hestia Sword transformed into a dark blue arc of light, and before the archers on the city wall could even react, they were all beheaded by Ying Ping!

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered, and a head rolled off.

Yingping was like a god of death; wherever he went, Ashina Castle soldiers fell one after another, without even having time to scream.

In just a few seconds, all the archers on the city wall were killed!

"call……"

Yingping decelerated and exhaled a breath of stale air.

After using double speed, he felt a slight fatigue, but recovered quickly.

At that moment, Elena, riding a magic broom, flew up with Kokkoro.

"Master, are you okay?"

Kokoro asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Ying Ping flicked the blood off his sword and glanced around the city.

Elena put away her broom and said thoughtfully, "Master, I could actually fly you directly to the castle tower to find the enemy leader, saving us the trouble of fighting our way there."

Ying Ping thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, we'd be too conspicuous in the air, making us easy targets for concentrated fire, and besides..."

A fighting spirit smirked at the corner of his mouth: "Only by fighting our way in can we completely intimidate them and gain experience points to level up!"

Elena shrugged: "Fine, you're the master anyway, I'll listen to you."

Kokoro gripped her staff tightly and said firmly, "No matter what Master chooses to do, I will follow him to the end!"

Yingping nodded: "Then let's go, let's keep going!"

The three advanced along the city wall, but they had not gone far when a group of elite warriors were already waiting in ambush on the road ahead.

Leading the group was a burly samurai general clad in heavy armor, wielding a massive naginata, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.

[Samurai General Shigenori Yamauchi]

[Level: LV5]

【Characteristics: Master of Ashina style, skilled in thrusting and sweeping attacks】

"Intruders, halt!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out from the mountain: "This road is blocked!"

Yingping narrowed his eyes: "Oh? LV5? Starting to increase the intensity so quickly?"

Yamauchi Shigeaki sneered, "Arrogant fool, prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly strode forward, his naginata drawing a sharp arc, aiming straight for Ying Ping's neck!

"clang!"

Ying Ping casually parried with his sword, sparks flying, and Yamanouchi Shige was thrown back a large step by the force of the impact!

"He has some strength."

Ying Ping grinned. "A few days ago you might have been a formidable opponent, but unfortunately you aren't anymore!"

"Irena, Kokkoro, I'll kill this one. You can handle the rest!"

"understand!"

With a wave of her staff, Elena unleashed several wind blades that instantly struck at the warriors.

Kokoro then cast support magic to ensure that Winning and Elena remained at their peak condition.

Yamauchi Shigeaki barely managed to steady himself, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes: "You... and how can your power be so strong?!"

"Enough talk, take this!"

Ying Ping sneered, and in a flash, he closed in!

"Killing intent locked on!"

[Target: Reduce all of Yamauchi Shigeshige's stats by 50%!]

Yamauchi Shige suddenly felt his body sink and his movements become sluggish, while Yingping's speed increased!

"Boom!"

With a flash of sword light, Yamauchi Shigeyuki's naginata was severed.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly retreated, but Ying Ping's second sword was already thrusting towards him!

"Pfft!"

The Hestia's sword pierced his chest!

"cough……!"

Yamauchi Shigeshige coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with resentment, "Ashina... will not... perish..."

"Die."

Ying Ping coldly withdrew his sword. Yamanouchi Shigeyu struggled a few times before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

[Defeat Samurai General Yamauchi Shigenori, Experience Points +1000]

Seeing their commander fall in battle, the surrounding warriors' morale collapsed, and they were quickly wiped out by Irena using magic alone.

"If a gatekeeper suddenly has the strength of LV5, I suspect that the enemies behind will become stronger and stronger."

Ying Ping wiped the blood off his sword and looked toward the towering Tenshouka deep within the city.

.....

In fact, his guess was absolutely correct.

As Yingping and his companions continued deeper into Ashina Castle, they soon discovered that the enemy's strength was rapidly increasing.

The ordinary soldiers who were originally just regular soldiers now all had the strength of LV3, and many of the elite warriors had even reached LV4.

"It seems that the closer we get to the castle tower, the higher the level of the enemies."

"I wonder just how strong Ashina Isshin and Genichiro are."

Ying Ping gripped the Hestia sword tightly, his eyes cold and stern.

"Master, there's movement ahead!"

Kokoro suddenly stopped in her tracks, alert.

On the road ahead, a squad of Ashina soldiers were pushing a huge prison cart, from which came low, beast-like growls.

"Let it out!"

The lead soldier grinned maliciously and suddenly pulled open the iron bars of the prison cart.

"Roar!!!"

With a deafening roar, a massive, crimson figure suddenly burst forth!

【Red Ghost·Crazy Transformation】

[Level: LV7+]

【Characteristic: Berserk Mode, Extremely Powerful】

It was a red giant that was over five meters tall.

Its hair was disheveled, its eyes were bloodshot, and its muscles were bulging, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Roar!"

The Red Demon slammed his fist into the ground, instantly shattering the stone slab and sending shockwaves that made the surrounding soldiers lose their footing.

"Heh, the Red Demon? We're old acquaintances."

Ying Ping sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Irena, Kokoro, you two take care of those soldiers first, I'll deal with this guy!"

"understand!"

The two quickly dispersed to face the enemies surging from all sides.

With a roar, the Red Demon charged towards Ying Ping, his massive fist crashing down like a meteorite!

"boom!"

The ground was smashed into a deep crater, but Yingping had already dodged it.
