Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

This ridiculously powerful dragon girl who suddenly appeared is actually here to see Miss Thor?

Unsure whether the other party was friend or foe, they were already prepared to ask Senior Shangguan for help.

Kaito Kuroba, quick-witted as ever, forced a smile that appeared as harmless as possible, despite the discomfort caused by the dragon's might. He tentatively replied, "This... beautiful dragon lady, we do know Thor, whom you mentioned. May I ask what business you have with her?"

Erma's sapphire-blue vertical pupils narrowed slightly, locking onto Kaito Kuroba: "Tell me, where is Tohru now? Is she safe?"

Her tone was urgent, and Longwei unconsciously intensified it, causing Kuroba Kaito to catch his breath and almost faint.

Hachiman and the others breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it was probably an ally.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Miss Thor is safe now; she is in another place."

"Another place?"

Elma frowned slightly, her gaze sharp. "Did you go through that spatial passage below? You came from that side?"

She pointed to the location of the hidden passageway in the forest below.

John's heart pounded with fear. A spatial passage? Another world?

Are these little guys not from this world? And what about that unfamiliar world-class powerhouse...?

He felt as if he had been drawn into a huge secret!

Is this something a mere ant in the Holy Land could possibly understand?

John wished he could have fainted like Lena and the other woman.

Some secrets, if overheard, could lead to utter destruction.

Instead of answering directly, Hachiman asked, "What is your relationship with Miss Tohru? We need to verify your identity before deciding whether to provide more information."

He remained remarkably calm, not losing his composure even when facing a legendary dragon. This composure earned him a slight glance from Elma.

She couldn't understand why a mere human would be so confident in front of her; didn't she see that the old man was trembling with fear?

Erma looked at the three men's resolute eyes and remained silent for a moment. She could sense the three young humans' protectiveness towards Thor, which lessened her hostility slightly. She snorted coldly, but still replied, "My name is Erma, and I am Thor's... friend. I came to find her after learning of her injury."

They really are friendly forces!

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exchanged glances.

Miss Tohru did mention having some friends among the dragons, such as Miss Elcoa. Although she didn't mention this dragon named Elma, she's probably not an enemy.

"So it's Miss Elma."

Hachiman's tone softened slightly. "Miss Tohru was indeed injured, but she has been healed by our predecessors. She is now in a very safe place."

"Healed?" A hint of surprise and doubt flashed in Elma's eyes.

The damage caused by the divine realm is extremely troublesome, especially the power left by the "Sword of Divine Judgment," which is not so easy to remove.

What can heal Thor's wounds?

Could it be that there are also god-level powerhouses behind this interdimensional portal?

She pressed further, "Who was your predecessor?"

"This..." Hachiman hesitated again. He didn't want to reveal Senior Shangguan's identity casually.

Erma, seeing that the other party did not want to answer, was too lazy to ask further, just knowing that Thor was alright.

His tone left no room for argument: "Take me to see Thor. Now, immediately."

Kaito Kuroba hurriedly called out, "Wait! Miss Erma! It's not that we don't want to take you, it's just... it's where Miss Tohru is right now, we can't go back for the time being! We need to wait for our senior to come and get us!"

"Can't go back?"

Elma frowned even more deeply. "What do you mean? Isn't that spatial passage stable?"

“The passage is stable, but we were sent here by our senior for training, and he will come to pick us up at a pre-arranged time,” Hachiman explained. “Until then, we cannot return on our own.”

"I see." Elma nodded seriously, and the dragon's might around her finally subsided.

'You believe that already?'

Kaito Kuroba and his companions were somewhat bewildered. They knew that this passage could actually be entered and exited at will, and that statement was just a pretense of refusal.

But the other party believed it without even trying?

Are all dragons so honest and sincere?

Or... is this seemingly dignified dragon lady actually not that bright-minded?

Unaware that the trio had already seen through her lack of sharpness, a resolute glint flashed in Elma's sapphire-like vertical pupils.

“In that case… I will wait here with you until your ‘senior’ arrives.”

She couldn't let these humans connected to Thor leave. If they were lying, or if something unexpected happened along the way, she might lose her trail of Thor again.

Waiting in this forest is the safest option at the moment.

After saying that, she didn't wait for Hikigaya and the others to respond. She slowly landed and chose a relatively flat open space that hadn't been completely destroyed in the battle.

With a casual wave of her hand, a gentle yet powerful force gently placed the unconscious Baron and Lina on the ground.

Then, she stood there quietly, like an ice goddess descended to earth, closing her eyes to rest and ignoring everyone else.

But that invisible aura clearly declared that within her "permission," everyone could move freely, but leaving? Absolutely not.

John breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he, Baron, and Lina's lives were temporarily saved.

He quickly circulated his remaining fighting spirit to heal his injuries, while looking at the three of them with an extremely complicated expression.

He now finally understood why the three little guys were unmoved by his attempts to recruit them.

Behind them stands an existence capable of connecting with the Dragon Princess of the Chaos Forces, and even fighting against invincible powerhouses like the Emperor of the End!

In the eyes of the other party, he, the sword saint of the human empire, was not even an ant.

Hikigaya, Kaito Kuroba, and Ayato Kirishima were all completely bewildered.

No... are they under house arrest?

Even though they knew the other party meant no harm, they weren't supposed to go to jail in this other world, were they?!

Their trials are not over yet, and they haven't even met the beast-eared girl. How can they just stop here?

After these few days of experience, they have developed a strong interest in the world and want to go out and explore more.

She hasn't even left yet, and she's already been placed under house arrest by Miss Thor's friend. Is there no justice? Is there no law?

I'm definitely going to tell Miss Thor when I get back!

However, they were powerless to resist their opponent, and an eerie silence fell over the forest.

Chapter 292 Your Excellency, Save Me!

Hikigaya, Kaito Kuroba, and Aya Kirishima gathered around a charred tree stump, discussing in hushed tones.

"What should we do? Should we contact Senior Shangguan in advance?"

Kaito Kuroba rubbed his chest, which still felt stuffy after facing the dragon's might, and asked in a low voice.

Although Elma didn't use too much pressure, even a slight leak of it was enough to give those second-tier guys a run for their money.

Hachiman frowned, looking at Elma standing silently like a standard-bearer not far away, and said in a low voice, "Miss Elma is Miss Tohru's friend, so she probably means us no harm. But she clearly doesn't trust us and wants to wait for our senior to come and pick us up. Our training plan..."

"We can't just sit here and wait for dozens of days, can we?"

Kirishima Ayato clicked his tongue impatiently, his ghoul eyes flashing slightly. "How about we try to slip away?"

"Do you think we can escape from under the nose of a fifth-tier expert?"

Just as the three were discussing in hushed tones—

Above everyone's heads, the once calm space began to ripple violently like water, emitting a hissing sound as it struggled to bear the weight! A pitch-black spatial rift, its edges shimmering with an unstable, eerie light, was forcibly torn open!

Immediately afterwards, two figures stepped out and landed lightly on the scorched ground.

The leader was Shangguan Yun, who had just left the Naga clan.

Half a step behind him followed respectfully a blond, blue-eyed man dressed in luxurious traveler's attire.

Soan lowered his head and looked meek, his posture humble, like the most loyal servant.

Shangguan Yun's sudden appearance shattered the silence of the forest and stunned everyone!

"Senior Shangguan!"

The three of them were both surprised and delighted, and shouted in unison. They hadn't expected their senior to appear at this moment; they had just been discussing whether to call out to him.

John's eyes widened suddenly as he stared in disbelief at Shangguan Yun and Suo An.

Torn space?!

Even legendary powerhouses cannot tear space apart. He had never seen anyone capable of doing so in his entire life. What level of powerhouse could possibly do that?!

Moreover, that blond man... although he tried his best to conceal it, John, as a peak Saint, keenly sensed a pure and majestic aura emanating from him that was different from that of ordinary people.

He was extremely familiar with that aura; some believers in the Lionheart Empire possessed a similar aura.

It seems to be... divinity?

The intense divinity, so profound it seemed to materialize, surged wildly through his heart.

It is impossible for a believer to possess such a rich and pure divinity, not even a divine messenger!

He had the privilege of meeting one of the human god-level powerhouses who had joined the Divine Realm, and even that being's divinity was far inferior to the one before him.

Clearly, the other party is a god!

A god even more powerful than the two god-level powerhouses of the human race!

However, this powerful deity was following behind the black-haired youth like a servant?!

John felt the hairs on his body stand on end!

A chilling thought surfaced in his mind—this person was probably the unfamiliar world-class powerhouse who had fought the Emperor of the End here a few days ago!

He is also the "senior" that Hachiman and the other two mentioned!

The moment Shangguan Yun appeared, Elma suddenly opened her eyes. Her sapphire-like vertical pupils contracted sharply, and all the muscles in her body tensed up instantly as she felt an unprecedented threat!

Although this black-haired human made no move or displayed any power, he gave her a sense of unfathomable depth and a feeling of terror akin to facing a leader!

However, when her gaze fell upon Suo An behind Shangguan Yun, the pure aura unique to the gods of the divine realm instantly ignited the fury in her heart!

It was these bastards from Asgard who severely injured Thor!

Her anger even made her ignore Shangguan Yun's existence. All she wanted now was to help Thor get justice, even if the other party was a god she couldn't defeat!

"You've injured Thor, you lackey of Asgard! Die!"

Elma almost instinctively let out a clear shout, her figure blurring instantly, like a blue lightning bolt, as she punched Soan!

This punch, unleashed in fury, distorted the very fabric of space, revealing the terrifying power of the legendary dragon race!

Soan was terrified!

Although he was a mid-level god, he was not afraid of legendary dragons like Elma. Even if the dragons' powerful physiques were enough to make legendary and ordinary gods fight each other, they would still be no match for him.

But would he dare to fight back in front of Shangguan Yun?

Of course he wouldn't dare!

They didn't even dare to use their full defense, for fear of causing Shangguan Yun to misunderstand!

He could only desperately gather his divine power in front of him, forming a thin shield of light, while letting out a terrified scream: "I didn't hurt Prince Thor! Your Majesty, save me!"

Just as Elmar's dragon fist, powerful enough to flatten a mountain, was about to smash into Thoran—

Shangguan Yun stretched out his right hand and gently pressed down.

It was as if everything had been forcibly paused.

Elma's unstoppable figure was as if it had sunk into an invisible quagmire under Shangguan Yun's casual press.

Her forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, the violent force of her punch seemingly wiped away by an invisible hand, vanishing without a trace.

She was frozen in mid-air by an irresistible, gentle yet absolutely powerful force, only a few meters away from Soan, yet she could not move forward an inch!

Her sapphire-blue vertical pupils were filled with shock and bewilderment.

So strong!
