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

"Hahahaha. Spalashi! In eternal delusion, until you die! You wretched woman!"

Hill spread his arms wide, and the massive experience points of 9 level 5 were enough to level him up again!

Lost in his immense joy, he did not notice that at a certain moment, the sand and gravel beneath the ground suddenly trembled.

He kept smiling, but when he came to his senses from the great joy, he was shocked to find that one of his feet had sunk into the ground.

"what?"

He looked down and saw an arm made of sand and gravel, like a bound spirit, holding him tightly and pulling him little by little toward the ground.

"What is this?" he tried to lift up and shout, but the immense suction prevented him from moving.

"What is this?! Let me go!" Hill struggled desperately, but no matter how she resisted, it was to no avail.

until a certain moment.

"Ah?"

He felt immense pressure on his ankle, and with a crack, his leg bone broke, eliciting a scream...

Immediately, the desert swallowed his thighs, then his chest, and the quicksand beneath his feet, like a meat grinder, slowly crushed Hill's body.

……

On the city wall, Xia Jia was surrounded by a hazy starlight, his hands pressed to the ground, his gaze chilling.

A terrifying, chilling magical power erupted within him, amplified several times over by the amplification of his golden armor.

"Quicksand Waterfall!"

Then came… “The Sand-Bound Coffin!”

Ryu's injury angered Shaka, and his Gold Cloth seemed to capture this subtle change in emotion and resonate with it.

A spiritual light began to rise unconsciously from Xia Jia's body.

The two gates to the state of selflessness opened involuntarily.

The immense spiritual energy, through the special substance forged from Orichalcos and supernova fragments, was transformed into a peculiar power.

Although this force is small, its quality is many times more terrifying than mental power.

"Is this... the microcosm?" Shaka's eyes became calm.

"Using you rotten fish and shrimp as its touchstone is far too degrading."

He slowly stood up and gently snapped his fingers.

The ground throughout the city began to soften and churn.

Whirlpools of quicksand engulfed and buried all the soldiers. Only their heads remained above water, gasping for breath.

With another snap of his fingers, the damaged building was restored to its original state, and the fruit, stalls, and decorations all returned to their original condition as if light had reversed.

With the third snap of the fingers.

A holy light descended from the sky, and the wounds of all the civilians who had not been able to move in time or escape the city began to heal. Afterwards, they got up with bewildered expressions.

Then, they watched in disbelief as their headless companion's body reformed and slowly rose to its feet, just like their own.

"My God, this is a miracle!"

"God..."

These residents had long since run out of words to describe the shock they felt.

Only pilgrimage.

On the main battlefield.

Liu was also bathed in warm light, and the curse on her body was instantly purified, the toxins in her wounds disappeared without a trace, and even the minor scratches on her body were completely healed.

As soon as they were freed from the curse, Alexie and the others hugged each other with expressions of relief.

"Waaaaah, Kaguya, Niz, Layla, I'm so glad you're all alright! I almost thought I was going to die here."

Tears kept falling from Alexie's eyes.

"Waaah, I really can't bring myself to attack Lady Astrea!"

In her field of vision, the person she loved most was actually Astraea! This made her lose even the courage to draw her knife, and she couldn't muster any motivation.

"Me too. I somehow ended up back in the time when I was being torn apart by Zagnat. I was thinking of covering Leon's retreat when that guy attacked me from behind!"

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts so much!"

Soon, Leyana, Maru, Niz, and the others shared their experiences within the curse.

It was as if Lyra saw Finn, Alexandra saw Astraea, Iska saw her friends from the orphanage, and Kaguya saw Ryu.

They discovered that the curse seemed to see everyone as its "beloved".

The 'seniors' who discovered this suddenly started teasing each other.

Lyra glanced at Kaguya first: "I didn't expect that you would care about Leon the most when you usually criticize her."

Kaguya grinned, revealing a cold smile: "Is that so? Someone actually considers an idol they can never get as their true love. Finn, is he more important to you than Lady Astraea?"

Leila remained silent for a moment.

She was actually lying; what she saw was the woman who had taught her how to survive with her life in that city of sinners…

“Liulu…” All Leila knew about that woman was that she used the name of a famous bard from a thousand years ago as a code name, and she never told Leila her true identity until her death.

The reason why Lyra's true love is not Astraea may be that [Ryuru] represents more than just that senior from the sinful city.

And then there's that troublesome junior over there.

She wasn't in the mood to argue with Kaguya. Perhaps many people, like herself, didn't truly see the person in their hearts as they described them.

Adventurers who aspire to advancement have all experienced despair to varying degrees. Most high-level adventurers carry indelible scars in their hearts, the higher their rank, the more pronounced these scars become.

After everyone cracked jokes and put down the somber mood, reigniting the joy, they unexpectedly received no response from the protagonist.

Alexie hugged Ryu from behind, rested her chin on Ryu's shoulder, and asked curiously:

"Hey. Ryu? Who did you see in the curse? It must be me, right? It's definitely me!"

A blush suddenly spread across Liu's face, instantly reaching her ears. She glanced sideways and nodded slightly.

"Um……"

Alexie beamed, "Haha, I knew it would be me, the most beautiful girl in the city! The urban idol who conquers countless female fans! Hmph, as expected of me!"

Kaguya closed one eye and said sarcastically:

"Can't you see through such an obvious lie?"

"Huh?" Alexie blinked.

Leila grinned: "You're lying."

Niz scratched her head: "You're lying."

Maru put her hands together and exchanged glances with everyone: "Ryu is still the same as ever, she can't lie at all... she gave herself away right away."

Alexie angrily pinched Liu's slender waist and teased, "Well, Liu, you actually lied to me! Tell me, who did you see..."

Ryu's face flushed red as she shook off Alicia and rushed toward the oasis.

"I...I'll go check on the survivors..."

Kaguya watched Ryu's hurried retreating figure, a smirk playing on her lips: "Alright, shall we go find 'Shaka' and meet up?"

She deliberately put a lot of effort into the name.

The sound traveled through the wind and clearly reached the elf girl's ears.

The next moment, Kaguya's eyes widened as the useless elf in front of her tripped over his own feet on the flat ground and fell face-first to the ground.

"Hey, you're a level 5! How could you trip and fall flat on your face? Pull yourself together, you useless little devil!"

Chapter 410 Shaka's Little Universe

On the city wall, Xia Jia sat on the sand, panting.

He repeatedly used his newly born cosmos to forcibly expand the range of his magic and made large-scale use of resurrection spells, leaving him feeling somewhat exhausted.

As the state of "selflessness" fades, the inexhaustible power within the body also begins to dissipate until it disappears completely.

Shaka didn't care about the disappearance of her cosmos; instead, she began to recall the reason for the awakening of her cosmos.

"The perception of cosmos is extremely demanding. Even in the original work, the selection of Saints involved very rigorous training, and individuals who awakened their cosmos were extremely rare."

"The biggest reason why we were able to awaken our cosmos so early is probably because of the Gold Cloth."

Shaka's thoughts shifted: "Logically speaking, only when the alternate Saints obtain their Cosmo and gain the recognition of the corresponding Cloth can they use the Cloth and unleash even greater power."

"But I am the complete opposite!"

As the creator of the Gold Cloth, Shaka incorporated his own blood and the divine blood of the goddess Astraea into the creation process, and borrowed the authority of the goddess's stars, Libra, and maiden.

In addition, there is the stellar power evolved from the golden force born from supernova explosions.

This gold armor, tailor-made for Shaka, almost combines the characteristics of both the Libra and Virgo armors. Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it is also inherited from Shaka's bloodline.
