DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

Arisa, leaning on her longsword, slumped to the ground: "As expected of that magic idiot, as powerful as ever."

"I...I'm not stupid!"

Lefia held onto her last bit of stubbornness, but she also knew that now was not the time to argue. She spoke with utmost seriousness:

"First, assess everyone's injuries, then evacuate."

Batin clutched his severed arm and said with difficulty, "Aren't we going to help? Goliath will continue to summon monsters."

Lefia also saw the figure toying with Goliath around the area and said firmly:

"Our presence will only be a burden to him. Let's move the wounded first, and we'll come back to help if we have time!"

Despite what Lefia said, as the strongest mage at the time, she did not leave with the school district. Instead, she asked Arisa for alchemical tools and then stayed to the side.

From an outsider's perspective, Lefia knew very well that the black-robed man's attacks posed no real threat to Goliath.

While those special blades could penetrate Goliath's defenses, they only managed to cut through the skin and muscle, failing to truly threaten the bones. Given the monster's terrifying regeneration speed, this would definitely be a protracted battle.

but……

Is his weapons stockpile sufficient?

Lefia understood this perfectly well; the turning point that threatened the other party's life would soon arrive.

as predicted.

After enduring several minutes of being scratched by the shadow, Goliath seemed to have found a way to deal with this item.

Being an "abnormal" entity, it immediately moved to stand with its back against the rock wall, so that all the positions that the shadow could attack would be observed by Goliath's vision.

With threads flying and air jets flying, the shadows could no longer pass through Goliath's body, reducing his movable area by more than half.

Goliath seized an opportunity, swinging his arm toward the thread connecting him and the shadow. The immense force caused the magic thread to shatter instantly, and the shadow was also pulled off course by the force.

It plummeted rapidly towards the ground!

"Oops!"

Shadow sensed the tremendous whooshing sound coming from his right; he knew that Goliath's kick was about to strike.

Chapter 116 Astraea Familia, please join us!

The surrounding environment receded rapidly, and the shadows cut off the magic supply in an instant, causing the gas tank at his waist to spray violently.

The moment Goliath's kick came, Shadow's body rapidly rose a body length, landing a foot on Goliath's shin.

"You're too inexperienced! I hope you can keep up with my speed this time!"

The end of the Shadow Cloak rapidly wriggled and extended, forming five scythe-shaped tail wings. As the shadow moved, the scythes, like plows tilling the land, left clear wounds on the monster's thighs.

“Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh——”

Goliath roared in pain, and terrifying magic gathered in his mouth.

Shadow's expression changed: If we can't get behind the monster, we can't dodge the frontal barrage.

Left with no other option, he had to turn on the gas and increase the distance between himself and Goliath...

Puff, puff.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the shadowy figure in the air suddenly stopped, and the gas tank at its waist emitted a mournful sound as the gas ran out.

"Of all times!!"

Disappointment was evident in the shadow's eyes.

He's still too weak. His magic is human magic, and without a conscious concept of strength, the stat boosts he receives aren't significant. His base attributes are still at level 1, making it difficult to overcome Goliath's formidable physique.

Also, the prepared equipment was insufficient; there were no spare air tanks or enough blades.

Seeing that the annoying little thing had suddenly stopped causing trouble, Goliath's eyes widened, and he turned his head, aiming his huge mouth at the shadow's location.

At the same time, its single arm slammed into the rock wall behind it, shattering countless pieces of rock that scattered and covered the direction in which the shadow fell.

A wide-area AOE attack that blocks movement, plus the "Roar" skill that locks the target.

This Goliath's fighting instincts are far too abnormal.

Shadow's mind raced, the only thought in his head being: "Should I self-destruct?"

"No, no, dealing with this kind of trash is not worth me self-destructing!"

He pondered again: "Improving one's abilities doesn't necessarily require defeating an opponent..."

His skill [Heroic Aspiration] is triggered by overcoming perilous situations.

That is to say...

"Theoretically, it's possible to succeed without killing the monsters as long as you keep courting death!"

Shadow sighed inwardly, choosing to go for the kill over the option of escaping to boost his abilities. But the cost of the item stopped him.

Shadow: I want to explode!

Satan: No. That kind of trash doesn't deserve a bomb.

then.

His cloak rippled for a moment, and a dark figure, similar to a shadow, detached from his body, then formed a dark shield.

"This time it's fine, but next time, I'll definitely kill you!"

The next second, the shadowy figure curled up behind the shadow shield, blocking the damage in front of him.

As Shadow prepared to retreat despite being severely injured.

"Volley of Fire Javelin!"

Lefia stood at a distance, waiting for orders, with a huge magic circle beneath her feet, and more than a dozen smaller magic circles blooming around her.

A dozen or so flaming arrows burst forth from the small magic circle, destroying the shattered rocks. The remaining arrows met Goliath's roar.

boom--

The collision of magic and magic exploded in mid-air.

Hidden behind the cloak, the shadowy figure was struck by the aftershocks of the magic and fell into the ruins, coughing softly a few times.

At this moment, Lefia had no time to care about Shadow's life or death; she gripped her staff tightly and trembled.

"babble------"

Goliath's man-eating gaze swept over. The three massive magical fluctuations had already caught its attention, though the previous ones hadn't affected it. But this time was different…

The giant roared angrily, as if to say, "You're the one who's getting in my way! You're the only one who can't be let off the hook!"

It picked up the pebbles on the ground and, without saying a word, threw them in Lefia's direction.

Lefia moved quickly, leaping to the left. Rocks shattered behind her, and tiny pebbles grazed her cheeks.

"Waaaaah, I... I can't take it anymore..."

Lefia had exhausted her courage. With no vanguard in front of her and no companions by her side, her weakness once again prevailed.

The little sprite was originally a crybaby, timid and naive. Even though she was influenced by some fearless little players, which made her, who was like a blank sheet of paper, slightly add a touch of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

But after putting on a brave front, she still couldn't help feeling fear.

Her legs were trembling, her hands gripping the staff were stiff, and every cell in her body was screaming, telling her that she could no longer move.

The little girl looked fearfully at the one-armed giant approaching step by step, feeling the murderous intent revealed in its pupils.

Lefia closed her eyes: "No, don't come any closer!"

The monster's roars gradually weakened, leaving only a piercing buzzing sound. My brain was filled with countless noises, like a static-filled television screen.

Bump, bump, bump.

Boom, boom, boom.

Whether it was the sound of giant footsteps or the rapid beating of a heart, Lefia was like a believer awaiting death to claim her life, unable to tell the difference.

Bang, boom—

Just then, the pounding sound amplified countless times, clearing away the piercing noise in her ears. She seemed to hear someone calling her name.

“Lefiya!!”

That's right!

Someone is calling her name!

At that moment, the world seemed to become completely clear. Lefia opened her eyes and heard the voice from afar once again.

"Lefia!!! We've come to save you!!!"

At this moment.

The upper entrance, which had been blocked by Goliath with rocks, suddenly exploded open from the other side.

Yui was the first to rush out of the pit.

She swung the guitar, which Xia Jia had repaired, and began to play a melody with an incredibly shrill sound.

Goliath turned around, all hatred drawn to the girl's music.
