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

The sky there was an ominous dark red, as if foreshadowing an even greater danger to come.

Hestia ran over and grabbed Yingping's arm: "Yingping-kun! Are you alright? I saw you jump from such a height, it really scared me to death..."

Yingping ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."

He turned to the others, who were also concerned, and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Yingping looked at Artemis and asked, "How far are we from our destination?"

Artemis pointed in a direction on the horizon: "It's not far over there...you should all be there."

Her voice carried an unprecedented sense of urgency: "We must set off immediately."

The group remounted the flying dragon and sped off towards the Great Sea of ​​Trees.

The forests along the way were no longer lush and green, but had become withered and decaying.

Yingping noticed that Artemis's hands were trembling slightly, and her eyes looked more tense and melancholy than before.

"Artemis..."

he called softly.

Artemis turned her head, forcing a smile: "I'm fine, it's just..."

Before she could finish speaking, a white beam of light suddenly rose into the sky above the distant sea of ​​trees, shooting straight into the clouds!

"No, no...!"

Artemis's face turned deathly pale: "It's... already started...?"

Yingping squinted, suddenly feeling a pang of heart palpitation.

He suddenly looked up at the sky, his pupils contracting sharply—

"Kokkoro! Cast Holy Light Barrier on everyone! Now!"

Yingping shouted, and Kokoro, who was on guard in the distance, moved at the sound, instantly raising her staff and spear above her head: "Divine Protection!"

A dazzling emerald green barrier enveloped everyone at the critical moment.

The next second, countless white light rains suddenly fell from the sky, bombarding the barrier in a dense and continuous barrage!

"Ding ding ding—"

The ear-piercing impacts were incessant, and dazzling sparks erupted where the rain of light touched the barrier.

At first, the barrier held up.

But this rain of light seemed to have a sense of perception, and it gradually increased in strength as the barrier's defenses improved!

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

Kokkoro gritted her teeth, her staff trembling slightly, and only with her full LV10 magic power could she barely block the attack.

"This aura... this... isn't this a divine attack from our gods?!"

Hestia gasped in surprise, her face turning deathly pale.

The rain of light suddenly intensified again, like a deluge of sunlight.

Kokoro's forehead was beaded with sweat, and her hands, holding the staff-like spear, were slightly bent. "I-I'm sorry, Master! I might not be able to hold on much longer..."

Yingping made a decisive decision: "Everyone land! Get into the forest and find cover!"

He leaped down to Kokoro and hugged her, shouting to the crowd, "Get down! We're sitting ducks in the air!"

The group rode their flying dragons at high speed, plunging into the dense canopy amidst a barrage of light.

Numerous thick tree branches were broken, but the vehicle managed to land successfully.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the forest's cover, the terrifying rain of light abruptly stopped.

"It seems the other party locked onto the target visually, but we don't know exactly which direction they were looking from..."

Yingping analyzed, "Everyone, it seems that we are temporarily safe in the forest."

Artemis's expression turned grave: "We must find a way to break through this defense..."

"No, Artemis, now is not the time."

Yingping shook his head. "Everyone is exhausted from the journey. It would be too dangerous to continue recklessly."

He looked around and said, "Let's get away from this forest tonight and rest nearby. We'll figure out a way to break through tomorrow."

Everyone agreed.

The continuous days of forced marches and the recent battle had indeed taken a toll on my physical strength.

Just as they left the area to find a suitable campsite, an unexpected figure emerged from the bushes—

"Mr. Yingping?"

The familiar and pleasant voice made Yingping turn his head.

They saw Ryurion, wearing a cloak, holding a wooden sword, looking at them in surprise.

"You're the bartender... Ryu? What are you doing here?"

Yingping was also extremely surprised, never expecting that the useless elf would actually come here.

"I was invited by a friend to participate in the raid."

"I saw the attack of the light rain just now, so I came over alone to see if there were any survivors."

Ryu sheathed her weapon and bowed slightly: "...I didn't expect it to be you. It seems everyone is safe and sound. That's wonderful."

"Did your Hestia Familia also come here to break through that ruin?"

She glanced at the crowd behind Ying Ping, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"I see. It seems we share the same goal."

Yingping nodded.

"Then everyone, follow me. There's an adventurers' camp nearby."

Ryu turned and gestured, "Adventurers from other clans, as well as Lord Hermes' clan, are all stationed there."

"this way please."

After following Ryu through a dense thicket of bushes, the view suddenly opened up before them—

A sizable camp appeared before them.

Dozens of tents were neatly arranged, and adventurers from different clans sat around a campfire.

"This is the temporary assembly point for the Ruins Extermination Army."

Ryu explained, "The overall situation is not optimistic. The nearby villages have been destroyed by monsters, the forests have been corrupted, and we can't even break through the gate of the ruins."

Yingping noticed that most of the adventurers in the camp looked exhausted, and many of them were injured.

"It seems like some people are missing again..."

"Artemis said softly, her eyes filled with worry."

Hestia took her hand: "Don't worry, we're here this time, and Lord Yingping is invincible!"

Ryu led everyone to an empty campsite: "You can rest here. I'll go inform the commander that you've arrived."

Yingping nodded: "Thank you, Miss Liu, thank you for bringing us here. We owe you a favor."

"It's nothing, you don't need to be so polite to me."

Liu shook her head, turned around, and quickly left.

Hermes suddenly lowered his voice: "Lord Yingping, don't you find it strange? That light rain attack just now..."

Ying Ping glanced at Artemis and said, "Hmm, Hestia said it was a divine attack, so I thought it must be the power of your gods. I didn't expect it to be so strong."

Hermes immediately looked at Ying Ping with even greater admiration, praising him, "Wow, you were able to notice such details in such an urgent situation; you're really perceptive."

Upon hearing this, Artemis bit her lip and gripped the silver bow tightly in her hand.

"Artemis, I have something to ask you. Come with me!"

Just then, Hestia walked over with a stern face.

Without a word, she forcibly pulled Artemis away from everyone's sight and began to whisper to her.

As night deepened, the campsite was filled with the aroma of food.

Yingping and a group of strangers sat around the campfire, enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Hermes crept up to Ying Ping and whispered, "Ying Ping, I just noticed the girls are getting ready to bathe in the nearby spring... Shall we go together?"

"Shall we investigate?"

Yingping put down the chicken leg in his hand and looked at him expressionlessly: "No, I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

"Hey~ Don't be such a boring man!"

Hermes spread his hands dramatically, "This is a rare treat!"

Yingping shook his head: "Go by yourself."

Hermes curled his lip: "Tsk, I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be such a blockhead, such an unromantic guy..."

He walked away dejectedly, and soon hooked up with several other male adventurers from other clans. The group of them sneaked away and disappeared at the edge of the camp.

Yingping watched their retreating figures, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

You're insulting me, aren't you?

He stood up and approached Ryu, who was on patrol: "Miss Ryu, I think there's something you might need to know..."

After hearing this, Liu's clear blue eyes instantly turned cold: "...I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Yingping."

She turned and left, and soon, the female adventurers in the camp began to move aggressively toward the spring.

But Yingping noticed that their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

It seems that Ryu has already informed everyone.

Hermes, completely unaware, was still enthusiastically inciting the other male adventurers: "Listen up, everyone, a paradise of beautiful girls lies ahead..."

A group of male adventurers were swayed and became excited, eager to take action.

Yingping sat by the campfire, and after witnessing this scene, calmly took a sip of hot tea, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Soon after, a commotion arose from the bushes by the spring.

"Ah! A peeping tom!"

"Unbelievable! It's Hermes!"

“There are other people here too!”

"Catch them quickly!"

This was followed by a series of screams and sounds of beatings.

Yingping looked over there with great interest.

Artemis walked over and asked in confusion, "What happened over there?"

"it's not a big deal."

Ying Ping smiled slightly, "It's just that some people have learned their lesson."

Not long after, Ryu, accompanied by several female adventurers, escorted a group of male adventurers, whose faces were bruised and swollen, back to the camp.

Hermes was bound hand and foot, with a large bag on his head, and hung from the flagpole in the middle of the camp.

"Listen up, everyone! This is what happens when you try to spy on us!"

Liu said coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping over every male adventurer in the camp.

The hanging Hermes wailed, "This doesn't make sense! Why were we discovered so quickly!"

His gaze swept over Ying Ping, who was leisurely drinking tea and even raised his cup to him.

"I know! Lord Yingping! You must have betrayed me, right!"
