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

boom!

The explosion shook the entire underground city. Countless crystal shards rained down from the ceiling.

Everyone covered their heads, crouched down to defend themselves, and were then thrown away by the terrifying shockwave.

Click click click...

At the epicenter of the explosion, the ground cracked, and a weak and powerless Alexandra fell to the 18th floor through the collapsing hole.

The core of the immortal essence clone had long been destroyed by the massive explosion, leaving only remnants that were scattered into dust by the falling wind.

On the 17th floor, Kaguya scrambled to her feet from the crystal dust. She first looked around, listening to the reactions of the entire dungeon.

According to her deduction, this was a "secret realm" developed by the Fallen Fairies. They were not destroying, but healing! Therefore, nothing else was born here.

This relieved her.

A moment later, a magical tremor ran through the air, and Revis was expelled from the space. The instant she landed, she shuddered, her legs went weak, and she almost fell.

In just five minutes, she experienced five evenly matched battles, but ultimately failed to defeat the five old men, and once again suffered a magical backlash, with her [stamina] and [magic power] being reduced again.

At this point, she was at her last gasp.

Looking around, the immortal clone was destroyed, leaving behind a huge crater with a radius of 50 meters, which connected to the lower level.

The surrounding space, having lost the sustaining power of the Fallen Immortal Essence, is also being repaired by the dungeon.

Knowing that the situation was unfavorable, she could only grit her teeth and follow Alexandra into the abyss, entering the 18th floor.

Kaguya, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass by, and shouted:

"Come on!"

With that, he led the other nine people to jump down.

The young players also completed their mission and used teleportation magic to team up and return to the Hall of Stardust.

The maze collapsed at that moment and was quickly filled and repaired.

18 floors.

Having lost all her magic, Alexie collapsed to the ground, the pain and burning sensation causing her to whimper.

Despite the excruciating pain, she looked up and saw a pair of black leather boots in front of her.

"That's not how you use explosives..." a cold voice rang out.

"Um... are you an adventurer passing by? Please lend a hand, I think I can still be saved."

Alexie chuckled awkwardly, meeting a pair of eyes hidden beneath a black cloak, gleaming crimson.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud thud.

Rives fell to the ground, staggering as her feet touched the ground, and knelt on one knee.

"Wow, still alive." A happy smile spread across Shadow's face.

He glanced at the 'pursuers' behind Revis and tilted his head, saying, "Looks like I've arrived just in time..."

Rives also noticed the presence of the shadow, and a rare smile appeared on her usually icy face:

"It seems you're not just all talk... you can actually be of help when it matters."

Shadow drew his crowbar and slowly stepped forward: "Yes, I'm a bit different from you guys. I use my brain when I do things!"

The two sang together.

Kaguya, who was chasing after them, immediately heard the alarm: "Enemy?"

Only Leila stopped, a playful smile playing on her lips: "Looks like something interesting is about to happen."

As he strolled along, Shadow loosened the buttons on his collar and said in an extremely arrogant tone:

"It's our first meeting, everyone! I am the Shadow, hidden in the shadows...!"

whoosh-

Halfway through her sentence, a staff imbued with terrifying magic pierced precisely through Revis's chest with a loud cracking sound that everyone present could hear.

"Hunter of the Shadows!"

The words fell.

Revis clutched her chest in disbelief and staggered back a step.

The next second, her fingertips began to disintegrate, followed by her hands and feet.

Her icy, vertical pupils stared at Shadow's splitting lips as she roared, "What are you doing! What have you done! Shadow—!!!"

The shadow spread its hands, raised its head, and let out an extremely arrogant laugh:

"Hahahaha, hahahaha! Redhead! You're the one who taught me this! Anyone who gets in the way of 'my' plans must be eliminated!"

"The plan... that's not it either..."

Rives's body began to dissipate, but she still stared intently at the shadow.

He covered his face with a thud, trembling as he said:

"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you before we parted!"

Shadow tilted his head back, revealing a dazzling smile:

"My name is Shadow, Vice-Captain of the Astrea Familia, and Direct Leader of the Shadow Garden! When you get there, please give my regards to Ain~~~"

As soon as she finished speaking, all that remained of Revis's eyes was her pupils, which suddenly contracted, as if she were dying with her eyes wide open, and glowed red.

Then, it vanished with the wind...

“Next…” Shadow slowly turned around and looked at Kaguya and the others, who had blank expressions on their faces: “How should I arrange things for you?”

Chapter 452 Evolving into a Monster

"Hey, hey~. What's going on? What's going on?" Niz, with her simple-mindedness, couldn't understand the changes in the situation.

Norin took a step back: "They... killed their own people again?"

Aste responded sternly: "Wake up, isn't this basic operation of the dark faction?"

Maru shrank back: "But didn't he say he was our vice commander?"

Leyana patted the healer's round, perky buttocks and said, "Idiot, you believe everything he says!"

Ignoring the conversation among his seniors, Shadow crouched down and, carrying the immobile Alexandra on his back, said:

"Well then, I'll have to come with me now. I need your cooperation on some things."

Alexie blinked, watching herself being lifted by the shadow's waist, her hands hanging limply at her sides, unable to resist, her expression anxious:

"Hey, hey! Give me some treatment first."

Shadow scoffed:

"Your art is really too clumsy. The wound can help you remember this lesson, and you will naturally get a higher score next time."

“But I don’t want any high scores!” Alexie tried to struggle.

"Shut up." Shadow smirked with pleasure. "Don't worry, you have great potential. I'll train you properly in the future!"

"Huh? Discipline?"

"Hmm~"

"Ah! I refuse!" Alexie tried to twist her waist, shouting, "Kaguya! Help me!"

Kaguya took two steps forward, raising her katana:

"stop!"

Unmoved, Shadow said calmly, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, but faced with a suspected enemy capable of instantly killing a level 7, they dared not make a move. Therefore, they could only cautiously follow behind the shadow.

Although the so-called achievement of 'instantly killing a level 7 enemy' seems to have been accomplished through deception and a sneak attack.

A moment later, the group followed the shadows to a secluded corner of the forest where no one knew them.

Alexie had also regained some strength and was able to slowly sit up.

After bringing Alexandra back, they remained wary of the shadowy figure, which exuded a strange and evil aura.

They simply couldn't believe that the guy in front of them, whose temperament and behavior were filled with darkness, was the so-called vice commander.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you still have doubts about my identity?" Shadow clicked his tongue, speaking with a playful tone.

"It's really heartbreaking, isn't it?"

“No…” Alexie blinked.

"do not talk!"

Shadow, with his back to the crowd, took a deep breath:

"I never expected that my diligent efforts in hiding in the shadows would only earn me suspicion?"

The werewolf Niz was completely bewildered: "So... you really are the vice-captain? You've been an undercover agent for the dark faction all along? How did you manage to disguise your identity before the gods?"
