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

"Let me think... In the movies I've seen before, weren't there scenes set ten thousand years in the future? Ten thousand years later, Artemis is resurrected, and the Hestia Familia still exists? The world still maintains the Familia system unique to the Age of Gods?"

"Does this mean that the dungeon is still operating?"

Yui floated worriedly to Xia Jia's face and gently rubbed Xia Jia's brow with her small hand.

"Dad? Are you alright?"

Shaga took another deep breath, calming down from the fear of the unknown.

"That's right. As part of this world's cosmology, the dungeon is an integral part of the world itself. Everything revolves around the dungeon, including the gods in the heavens. Without the dungeon, the world of DanMachi would naturally collapse and disintegrate."

"I subconsciously felt that the end would come from the underground city because I knew that it might collapse on a large scale. Therefore, I overlooked the fact that the cause of the collapse might be the endless absorption of nutrients from the underground city by the fallen immortal essence."

The end of this world comes from the black dragon and the fallen fairy, and the adventurer's ultimate mission will not be the dungeon.

"Hiss... Now I'm even more curious about the dungeon." Shaka's eyes lit up as she looked at Yui.

"Continue, how far has Kotoko explored that space?"

Yui reopened the video...

The video then speeds up, showing Kotoko Iwanaga saying goodbye to Reito and embarking alone on her journey to the location of "Kara".

The proverb "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death" probably describes this perfectly.

The video is sped up and discontinuous, showing that Kotoko Iwanaga spent several months getting close to the giant magic stone.

Only after standing beneath the enormous magic stone did Shaja realize its true size.

To give an example, it's about the size of Aincrad.

Yes, it's like a floating city.

The magic stone emitted a magnificent purplish-black light, and the surrounding space and the aurora zone in the sky were all altered by this magic stone.

Kotoko Iwanaga activated her levitation prosthetic and flew up, taking nearly an hour to reach the surface of the magic stone.

The video was filled with piercing tinnitus, and Shaka couldn't grasp Kotoko Iwanaga's thoughts at that moment.

He didn't believe Kotoko Iwanaga was capable of destroying the magic stone. Its enormous size meant that even a level 9 fighter would likely only manage to scratch off a thin layer of skin.

To use an analogy from FGO, at least one Noble Phantasm against a mountain would be needed.

However, Kotoko Iwanaga did not give up. After searching unsuccessfully, she took out a small dagger and scraped off a layer of crystal powder from the surface of the magic stone.

The moment the attack was made, a terrifying sense of oppression erupted from the center of the magic stone.

With a loud bang, the screen went blank, and the video ended.

Chapter 518 The Floating City with One Hundred Floors

"Oh wow, so they've been sanctioned?"

Xia Jia quickly understood Iwanaga Kotoko's situation.

Her invincible passive ability only works in safe mode; once she initiates an attack, the safe mode is deactivated.

Xia Jia felt a chill run down her spine for Iwanaga Kotoko.

"Tiger Girl, you're really daring! Aren't you afraid that if the big boss makes a move, the world will be shaken?"

He muttered a curse to himself.

Attention quickly fell on Kotoko Iwanaga's last move:

"Hey, Yui~ Did Kotoko Iwanaga finally get Cassios's magic crystal?"

Yui narrowed her eyes and proactively activated the Dark Dimension display:

"Ta-da! Although it's only a little bit, Kotoko-neechan still put a little bit of magic stone powder into the dark dimension."

Xia Jia slammed his hand on the table: "Well done!"

Shaka held a handful of magic stone powder enveloped in her cosmos, her eyes shimmering with starlight.

With the core of these dungeons, and some dungeon soil, I can even manually create a world-like secret realm similar to a dungeon.

At this point, Shaka no longer cared about Finn or the man-made maze.

He had only one thought in his mind.

"I will bring Aincrad back to life!"

After leaving a message saying, "Secluded training to level up, do not disturb," Xia Jia yelled "Lincoln, you big jerk!" and crashed headfirst into SAO.

……

Fifteen days have quietly passed.

During this time, Finn and Shakti did indeed visit Astrea, and Ryu accepted the invitation from the two clans to launch a joint campaign on Shaka's behalf.

While they were busily preparing the equipment needed to conquer the dungeon, Shaka himself was completely wreaking havoc in SAO.

today.

Floor 100 of Aincrad.

Xia Jia and Kayaba Akihiko stood here.

The World Tree, which was supposed to be the final boss, became Kayaba Akihiko.

"I never imagined that the final battle would be between you and me," Kayaba Akihiko said dejectedly.

"I expected this. It's a pity I didn't get to experience the real final boss, but... come on!" Shaga lowered his center of gravity and assumed a fighting stance.

"From the 50th floor onwards, it's been the two of us fighting side by side. In the end, it's time for us to settle things!"

Kayaba Akihiko paused for a moment, then smiled with relief: "In that case, I won't hold back! Let me see what level the human soul can ultimately reach."

"Duel!" x2!

Shaka certainly wouldn't suddenly pull out a duel disk to play cards. The two figures instantly disappeared from their original positions. The moment their fists and shields collided, a huge shockwave was generated.

"Using a shield is really foul!" Xia Jia sneered, punching the shield to break through the block, and slashing down with his sword with his other hand.

Plan

The weapons hummed crisply, sparks flew, and the two sides clashed dozens of times in an instant, evenly matched.

"You're cheating, aren't you?" Xia Jia retorted.

“You are too…” Kayaba Akihiko looked at the golden radiance on Shaka’s body, not wanting to be outdone.

"This is nothing! Take this, justice will prevail!"

Shaka grinned, and golden fist light shot out, landing on Kayaba Akihiko like a meteor.

The health bar above his head was dropping rapidly, and cracks were spreading all over his shield.

"I understand..." Kayaba Akihiko quickly realized how difficult his opponent was to defeat; he couldn't win by simply defending.

As his health bar dropped to half, Kayaba Akihiko's body began to swell, transforming into a tall, humanoid monster.

"Hey, what is this?" Xia Jia rolled away to dodge the rays shooting from the other party's scarlet eyes, and cursed loudly.

Kayaba Akihiko swung his arm, and a thick spear thrust towards Shaka: "This is the original boss of SAO... watch out..."

As he spoke, six ruby ​​gems emitted six colorful rays from the white substance behind the monster, which resembled a cloak or hair.

"hateful!"

Shaga tumbled out of the dust and smoke, his legs sprinting along the walls of the Red Jade Palace, dodging the incoming rays and gunfire, before bringing his sword down from above.

when--

The golden ripples of the shield spread out, forcing Shaga to jump back.

Before he could react, the moment he landed, countless vines shot up from the ground, tearing the ground beneath his feet away.

"Super, a tree realm has been born?!"

Xia Jia drew his sword and spun it around; the azure blade glided smoothly in an arc, slicing the oncoming tree branch to pieces.

"What? You can't do it without someone by your side?" Kayaba Akihiko mocked.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Shaja took a step forward, shattering the tiles. The golden light on his body transformed into wings, which flapped as he lunged at the incoming spear.

He deflected the spear with his sword, and the light from his fist shone brightly once more.

"Justice, Shattering Star Fist!"

Thump, crack, the shield shattered, and the monster staggered, nearly falling over.

"Useless..." Kayaba Akihiko snorted coldly, and the huge World Tree behind him rose from the ground, with emerald green dewdrops falling and beginning to restore life.

"Damn it, you cheat!"

Just as Shaga was struggling to defend himself and was thinking of a way to win the battle,

"Dad! I've brought everyone to help!"

On the crimson throne, a portal opened, and Yui led her former team members into the battlefield.

Cheng Hui pushed up her glasses: "Don't eat alone. We have no intention of abandoning the game halfway through."
