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

Time seemed to stand still...

The surrounding forest fires were raging, scorching the trees with a crackling sound.

At that moment, the giant bull, which had been lying limp on the ground, suddenly moved. Having survived the fire, it had developed a resistance to the flames. Shaga's desperate burst of energy failed to completely end its life.

It reached out to the side, grabbed a magic stone from the ground, and put it in its mouth to chew.

Then came the second one, and the third one.

Those were the remains of their compatriots who perished in the fire and in Shaka's hands.

Thump, thump, thump.

A loud drumbeat suddenly erupted from the chest of the bull. It opened its eyes abruptly, and a ring of scarlet down grew from its neck. Its unicorn horn became even more robust, and a layer of black keratin spread across its body.

It slowly got up, grabbed Shaga's right foot, sneered disdainfully, and crushed it with force.

It's level 3 now.

"Ughhhhhh—" The fracture of her shinbone brought Shaka back to her senses from exhaustion and dazed state.

My vision was blurry, my throat was burning, but I could faintly hear someone calling my name...

Chapter 41, One Hundred and Eight Styles: Orochi Nagi

"Lord Shaga!!!"

In the forest engulfed in flames, a voice filled with anxiety and self-reproach suddenly rang out.

Then came a purple figure, bursting through the sea of ​​fire.

Yamato no Mikoto gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand, his gaze fixed on the giant bull that had completed its evolution. Just as the bull was feeling smug, Yamato no Mikoto appeared in front of it.

"Hmph, Kuzda." If the Minotaur could speak, it would say this.

Only when Yamato appeared before it and drew the katana that shimmered with a purple, demonic light did it realize that it was already at its last gasp.

The devouring of the magic stone and the completion of another evolution did restore some of its strength and make its body much stronger, but the parts of its body that were scorched by the high temperature, coupled with the reduced oxygen content in the air, made its movements extremely sluggish.

A purple streak flashed, and the giant bull felt a numbness in its arm as its grip on Shaga's wrist snapped off at the root.

Yamato grabbed Shaka and rolled around several times before gradually moving away from the central battlefield.

"Lord Shaka, Lord Shaka! Wake up! Wake up!" Yamato shook Shaka's body, his eyes filled with worry.

Ignoring all attempts to understand, she began rummaging through Shaga's body for any usable supplies.

But Shaka was also poor, with only simple stamina potions and a bottle of mental potion. Yamato didn't care about anything else and opened them all, feeding them to Shaka.

"Cough, cough." Xia Jia slowly opened her eyes and met Yamato's eyes: "You, how did you come back?"

"Qiancao and the others are out of danger. I'm here to help you!" Ming's tone was firm.

Like a noble warrior, she would not allow herself to abandon her companions.

"Heh." Shaga gave a bitter laugh and said dejectedly, "Then we might all die here. That Minotaur was already an enhanced species, and now it has eaten magic stones from other monsters, so it already has the potential to reach level 3."

Shaga sighed deeply: "We can't win."

If Shaga possesses top-tier level 1 stats due to her skills, even comparable to a typical level 2 monster, and with the added boost of magic, she can barely contend with mid-level level 2 monsters.

However, level 3 is like an insurmountable chasm, an insurmountable mountain, a complete qualitative change.

Even a severely damaged level 3 is not something that two level 1 novices can fight against.

However, Ming's tone was quite confident: "We can win, we still have hope, I've prepared a trump card!"

The bull roared, clutching its arm, as streams of black blood flowed from its severed wrist. A foul stench spread through its skin and throughout its body.

Xia Jia sat up and saw the same scene.

Ming explained, "I brought poison! The cat demon's poison!"

She pushed the katana in her hand, indicating that she had poisoned it.

A glimmer of hope flickered in Xia Jia's heart. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Can you hold it off for a minute?"

Ming's eyes flickered, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay."

If she were a normal level 3, she would never say such a thing, but now, with serious injuries, burns, lack of oxygen, poisoning, and various negative buffs stacked up, she was only stalling for time, and she felt confident.

"it is good."

Xia Jia struggled to his feet, the medicine giving him his last bit of strength.

The magic that had been keeping Black Cat and the others alive had long since been dispelled, and their mental strength was gradually recovering; he could unleash another powerful attack.

Shaga began chanting again, the emblem of the Wings of Justice bloomed behind him once more, and flames rose from his body once more.

She charged forward, her katana in hand, and began to chant a spell.

"—I call upon the name of the Supreme One, with utmost trepidation—"

Parallel spellcasting?

No, that method of running ten steps and singing three words cannot be called parallel spellcasting.

It was only an emergency measure; to avoid being accidentally detonated by magic, she focused all her attention on it.

Normally, one would never use techniques one is not familiar with in a fight, but now is the time to risk everything.

The giant bull roared shrilly and swung its blood-dripping arm at Yamato no Mikoto.

Black blood shot out, but Ming deftly dodged it...

[We, the invincible martial gods, are protected by the noble heavens.]

As she closed in, she skillfully controlled her movements. After being defeated by Shaga, she kept a close eye on this information and successfully judged the length of the bull's arm, thus dodging a fatal attack.

With a sliding tackle, she used her poisoned katana to smoothly slide across the bull's crotch, once again drawing out a spray of black blood.

The venom continues to spread.

The bull's movements became increasingly sluggish, but the risk remained; if it were hit once, its physique would certainly render it unable to move.

The chant continues: "Bestow upon this humble body the divine power to make it noble. Save, light of purification, blade of destruction."

Fate began to roam the periphery, attempting to continue inflicting wounds on the bull in a bullfighting manner.

Seemingly knowing that the opponent was preparing a powerful move, the bull used its last bit of strength to raise its arm high and slam it hard to the ground.

The earth rumbled and trembled. As he moved, he felt a numbness in his feet, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel down.

The bull roared and charged forward, its horns aimed at its prey.

The incantation was drawing to a close, and fate had given up resistance, focusing all its energy on completing the incantation: "Sweep away, scabbard of pacification, spirit sword of conquest. Now, here, I summon those who are named after me. Descend from the heavens, and unify the earth—Divine Martial Conquest!"

A purple magic circle unfolded, and the giant sword descended with terrifying gravity. The bull let out an extremely mournful roar as it was pierced by the giant sword and rendered unable to move.

With his index fingers clasped tightly, he compressed the area of ​​gravity, and the purple cube squeezed and bound the bull's body.

Time ticked by, and just as she was about to give up, time began to pass.

The surrounding firelight disappeared?

The raging fire that had engulfed the forest suddenly surged in one direction, the flames swirling and clinging to Shaga's body.

at this time,

Shaja made a fist and raised it above his head. A small flame rose slowly in his palm, and all the flames in the surrounding forest were absorbed by the core of flame in his palm until Shaja was completely ignited by the flames and turned into a terrifying fireman.

"Uhhhhhhhh-"

The world is quiet.

The crimson world turned gray and white, surrounded only by carbonized trees, their leaves burned away, revealing the starry night sky.

Within a range of thousands of meters, only Shaga became the central light source, releasing terrifyingly high temperatures.

The gravity magic shattered, and he sat down on the ground.

The minotaur broke free of its restraints and let out an exhilarating roar.

at this time……

Xia Jia moved.

He gripped the hand holding the fiery core tightly, and the terrifying heat coalesced into a fist, which he slammed towards the giant bull.

"Rihyakuhachi-style: Great Snake Nagi!"

The core of the forest's raging fire was condensed and unleashed by Shaga, creating a terrifying whirlwind of flames that struck the giant bull.

The enormous body twisted and dissolved in the firelight, eventually leaving only a layer of black animal hide that fell to the ground.

Shaga was listless and fell straight down, his face blank as he stared at the lava-covered earth.

Chapter 42 Mame no Suke

"Sorry to trouble you."

On the forest path, Shaka lay on Yamato's back, the giant Minotaur's hide wrapped around her waist, as they moved toward the city.
