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

Astraea paused for a moment, then continued:

"Nothing special about Orario. It seems like Shadow-sama is having a lot of fun, and everyone's strength has improved a lot. Most of the kids have reached level 2. Shadow-sama is already level 5. Natsumi, actually you're not as fast as him this time."

"As expected of Lord Shadow~~~" Astrea said with a teasing smile.

Wow, he's really grown up! Even goddesses are being addressed with respect now? Should we go beat him up?

Xia Jia thought mischievously.

He certainly understood the goddess's teasing, but considering Shadow's attitude of seeing everyone as trash, he figured he might not be able to resist fighting him.

However, although I am only level 5, I am now a Saint Seiya, wielding the power to destroy galaxies, which cannot be compared to a mere atomic bomb.

Hmph, trash!

Chapter 500 The Desert Throne, The Resurrected Calamity.

Two months may seem like a long time, but it's actually just a blink of an eye. After handling some tasks that only she could do, Xia Jia sat on the sofa and checked on the situation of the monster-side players during this period.

"Tsk, the emergence of new stealth games has led to a loss of players."

There are only 300 spots available for the Monster side test. With over a dozen fully immersive games currently making a big splash in the market, my game, which hasn't been updated in two months, doesn't seem to have much appeal.

Xia Jia asked Yui to retrieve the information of several players who were still persisting in the game.

"Hayasaka Ai? This is Shibamoto? Oh? Even the vice section chief hasn't given up? Tsk tsk, she's already grown to level 3."

To his surprise, the players who persisted were all acquaintances.

"Hmm, let's test them a bit more. If they can hold on, then let them travel through time." Xia Jia chuckled.

At this time...

Yui jumped out of the screen, pulled open a light screen with her small hand, and said:

"Dudu, Daddy, there is a communication request from Blank. Do you want to answer?"

"Empty? Connect."

The screen flickered, revealing Kong's solemn face.

From the image, it can be seen that Kong is on the city wall, with soldiers behind him showing terrified expressions.

"Commander, we've encountered some unplanned incidents, and I'd like to report them to you."

"Is there something you can't handle?" Xia Jia asked in surprise.

Anyway, take a look first.

Kong pointed the camera ahead, and suddenly, a series of dark whirlwinds swept across the boundless yellow sand. Wherever they passed, large numbers of enemy soldiers fell to the ground, their bodies covered with purplish-black patches.

"This thing looks so familiar..." Xia Jia said with a serious expression.

Yui reminded him, "Dad, these black tornadoes are very similar in characteristics to the cursed winds of the black cat sister. They must have been caused by a creature similar to Mame-no-suke."

"Similar to Mame-no-Suke?" Shaka pondered for a second, then suddenly realized:

"Behemoth? Hmm, there does seem to be a subspecies of Behemoth sleeping in the desert, but isn't it supposed to take several years to revive? How come it's here early?"

Blank explained, "It must be a deadly move by the Valsha Empire. We were almost defeated by the Valsha army, but we didn't expect them to use something like this at the end."

“Judging from the screen, these things are at most level 4. Can’t you handle them?” Xia Jia asked.

Kong hesitated for a moment and said, "There are ways, but we can't guarantee they won't go somewhere else. So, we want to add an extra layer of insurance."

Bai added, "After all, this isn't a real game. Everyone here is a living, breathing human being."

Kong scratched his head, annoyed, and said, "Ugh, troublesome, that's why I hate reality."

Xia Jia understood the meaning of the blank space.

"So, you want me to take control of the situation? To pinpoint the source of the calamity to the desert? And you can focus on setting up the chessboard?"

Kong nodded: "Ah, we'd also like to try our current strength. If we can't even handle a mere subspecies like Behemoth, then we shouldn't even think about defeating the Black Dragon."

Bai echoed, "We need to test the instrument's capacity, Jiajia, we need assistance."

"I understand. After the upgrade, I'd like to stretch my muscles a bit," Xia Jia said with a smile.

At this moment, the blank space seemed unaware of what those black winds behind them truly meant. Or were they already prepared?

The Behemoth subspecies is a black monster of at least level 8, with a size that may exceed 300 meters; it is a true monster.

"Or has Blank already mastered the power to deal with monsters of this level?" Shaga wondered expectantly.

……

Desert, Avalon outpost.

Ari is commanding her knights on the battlefield of the final battle.

In the two months that followed, the name of King Arthur, wielding the holy sword, had spread throughout the desert, and his iron hooves had never been defeated.

Right now, she is facing the most difficult battle since she started her fight.

A black, poisonous hurricane swept across the battlefield, relentlessly assaulting the soldiers on both sides.

"Hahaha, hahaha, destroy it, destroy it! Turn this desert into a black sea of ​​fire, and let the flames of war never be extinguished."

Rashap, whose entire kin had been wiped out, raised his hands high and laughed heartily at the miracle he had conjured up.

After Ota and the others recovered from their injuries and returned to the city.

Without the pressure of the city's strongest queen, this young male god who worships fire and the sun regained his confidence.

"Give up. You have no power to resist this calamity. Just let the desert return to chaos and let the flames of war continue to sweep across the land."

"Damn it!" Ari shouted, pulling on the reins. "Retreat! Get away from those black winds!"

The troops moved in an orderly fashion, the front becoming the rear, and quickly withdrew from the area swept by the black wind.

but……

"My lord! A black wind is coming from behind!"

"We're surrounded!"

The messenger stammered as he rode his horse and gave his account.

"Don't panic, keep moving forward and reunite with the Great Sage first. As long as the Great Sage is there, we will definitely be able to come up with a solution."

With that, she cracked her whip, urging her warhorse to charge.

Ari broke away from the army formation and quickly rushed to the front of the column.

Her gaze sharpened as she stared at the two black tornadoes sweeping towards her.

"Soldiers! Charge with me!"

The "Holy Sword" in Ari's hand emitted golden lightning, leaving a trail of light as the warhorse galloped forward.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh! King! King! King!"

The soldiers saw the invincible holy sword that had once turned the tide of the battle shine once more, and they let out a passionate shout.

"Charge!" Ari transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the black hurricane.

She raised the holy sword high and swung it down at one of the two black winds:

"EX—cliur!!"

stab-

Lightning burst forth, and a golden beam of light swept out, unleashing devastating physical damage that pierced through the black whirlwind.

"Roar!!!!"

Amidst the black wind, a monster with the four legs of an elephant, the body of a lion or tiger, the horns of a fierce bull, the head of a dragon, and four eyes let out a mournful howl.

"It's a monster! It really is a monster!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

The soldiers' morale soared. Those black winds, which had seemed like a plague and a curse, as if divine retribution, were now revealed to be merely slightly unusual monsters. The soldiers regained their fighting spirit.

They had all been blessed by Lady Aqua, and after two months of fighting, their abilities had grown considerably; they were no longer the weak and frail soldiers they once were.

"Wind! Wind! Wind! Strong wind!"

The soldiers transformed into a torrent of steel, with arrows raining down first, followed by the charge of the knights.

The acceleration of the warhorses, combined with the charge of the steel lances, finally led to the elimination of the monster blocking their path under the special attack of thousands of cavalry.

The most troublesome aspect of these Behemoth subspecies is still the black hurricanes that protect them. These are unique defenses formed by their constant rotation.

The poison gas released is also a major means of killing opponents.

Without the Black Wind's support, these monsters' combat power was reduced by more than half.

The army, carrying its heavily wounded allies, launched a renewed assault.

Ari raised her holy sword again and swung it at the second subspecies Behemoth.

The golden light flashed by, this time hitting the monster's magic core directly. The black wind expanded violently for a second, then exploded.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" The soldiers cheered thunderously.
