In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

Chapter 221

"It is precisely because he possesses such an epic weapon that he is able to continuously complete challenges beyond his level."

The young fan continued, "Lord Lowell has already completed many challenges against monsters of higher levels, and can even teach monsters above level 40 a lesson."

His words were meant to explain the situation to Tsukikawa Shu, but he treated Tsukikawa Shu as a complete newcomer.

There was also a bit of exaggeration and pride in it, because their town had produced such a skilled player as Lowell, so they were proud of it.

Then, they went on to explain the power of epic weapons, the legend of the greatsword Lowell, and its function.

The other person spoke eloquently, while Tsukikawa Shuu remained largely expressionless.

"How many epic-level items does he have?" Tsukikawa Shuu suddenly interrupted his question.

"One piece, huh? You don't actually think epic weapons are something you can buy in bulk, do you?" The other person looked at Tsukikawa Shu with great suspicion.

Then he added, "Oh, you're newbies, it's normal that you don't know anything about it. Besides, this ruin isn't really suitable for newbies anyway. Coming here so recklessly is just asking for death."

"Only one piece?" Tsukikawa Shu said casually. "Judging from his arrogant tone, I thought it was a full set of epic-level equipment."

"How can you describe Lord Lowell as arrogant? This is clearly confidence, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the young fanboy became somewhat displeased. He looked at Tsukikawa Shuu, his heart already tipped in favor of his idol.

"Besides an epic-level greatsword, Lord Lowell also has this entire set of rare-level equipment," the other person continued, clearly displeased, seemingly trying to demonstrate the lord's prowess.

"Take his armor for example, it's called the Meteorite Heavy Armor. It's extremely protective. Can't you see that? It would take a lot of attack power to break through his armor."

He continued, "Even if you don't know its function, you can tell just by looking at its appearance, right?"

"Is this heavy armor really meant for combat?"

Tsukikawa Shu laughed, "Besides, would this armor really suit him?"

"Are you sure this armor is the best fit for him, or that he just bought a set of gear to match because he got an epic greatsword?"

"How could you say that! Lord Lowell is not the kind of person who seeks fame and fortune!" the young fanboy retorted angrily.

"If you choose a greatsword and heavy armor, you need to have the stamina to support it. You've only walked this short distance, and you're not even as fast as an ordinary person. You shouldn't force yourself to take this kind of equipment."

Tsukikawa Shuu said softly.

Tsukikawa Shuu has also encountered this type of armor before. Statistically, it's decent, definitely the most protective armor among rare-level armors. However, its drawbacks are also very obvious: it's extremely heavy, far beyond the capacity of a level 30 player to bear.

But if you're at a higher level, you might already have epic-level armor by then, so you wouldn't need something like this.

Therefore, this armor is completely a burden, a useless piece of equipment.

The only thing commendable about Lowell is that, once he put on the armor, it became a matching set with the greatsword he carried on his shoulder, making him look even better.

After Tsukikawa Shu said that, the people around them also noticed.

The so-called strongest one leading the way actually doesn't move very fast.

Even slower than an average person.

Could it be as this person named Tsukikawa Shu said, that Lowell deliberately chose weapons and equipment that were incompatible with him in order to show off?

"It seems that's really the case; the speed is indeed too slow."

"Perhaps he's walking slowly because he's cautious and afraid of being ambushed by monsters?"

"That can't be right, we haven't even reached the depths of the ruins yet."

"If you ask me, that's actually quite possible. I've never seen him run."

……

People around them started whispering among themselves.

However, Lowell is still the strongest player in the open right now, and everyone only dares to speak in hushed tones, but dares not let their voices reach the other's ears.

As someone standing nearby, the young fanboy overheard some of it.

"Nonsense! Lord Lowell is capable of taking on level 40 monsters single-handedly!"

The young fanboy, however, became agitated, glaring fiercely at the people around him. "Stop spreading unfounded rumors! He must have a profound reason for wearing that armor. You people are completely clueless. I think you're just jealous of Lord Lowell!"

How did we become jealous?

"Yes, yes, my friend, you can't make false accusations."

"We're just stating the facts, but we can't rule out that possibility, right?"

"Yes, it's true that we've never seen Lowell run."

……

The people around him didn't back down either, and they were also annoyed by the little fanboy's immediate labeling.

Some of them, though not as high-ranking as Lowell, were still quite strong.

They were only slightly lower in level than Rowell, and they were just unlucky enough not to get an epic weapon. They might not be able to beat Rowell in a one-on-one fight, but if multiple people attacked together, Rowell would be no match for them.

They usually respect Lowell's strength, but that doesn't mean they can be manipulated at will or suppressed to the point of not daring to breathe.

However, the little fanboy clearly didn't realize this. In his mind, his idol was invincible, and these scumbags were no match for even a little finger of his and would be defeated in no time.

So, the young fanboy, trying to protect his idol's image, and the others, increasingly annoyed, started arguing.

In the end, both sides even started to pull out their weapons and skills, ready to fight.

"I'll fight you!"

After several rounds of verbal sparring, the young fanboy, unable to withstand the barrage of words, finally snapped in a fit of rage and drew his dagger. The dagger was also wreathed in wind blades; a single cut to the neck would instantly decapitate the victim.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"

Those who argued with him were not intimidated at all. They immediately drew their swords, and colorful lights began to swirl around the blades. They all started to use their skills.

This frightened the people around, who rushed forward to stop him.

"Stop! Are you trying to create too many escape routes by fighting here?"

"Ahhh! Stop them! If this fight continues, the path to the ancient tomb will collapse!"

"If any of you dare to damage this place, I'll kill you all right now!"

……

Only after being strongly dissuaded by those around them did the two sides refrain from fighting.

Tsukikawa Shuu maintained a detached demeanor throughout.

It's very simple. If this little fanboy suddenly attacks and tries to persuade us physically, we will draw our swords at the same time and cut him down.

However, Tsukikawa Shuu ignored his boasting and wanted to see what kind of weapon Lord Lowell had in his hand.

After such a long and boastful speech, Tsukikawa Shu understood.

This is a useful greatsword, quite powerful, but it's just not suitable for our side to use.

If we were to seize this, along with the epic-level spear we picked up from Kitamura Motoyasu, we could bundle them together and sell them for an astronomical price.

Tsukikawa Hiiragi was secretly calculating in her mind.

Of course, this is all predicated on the assumption that this Lord Lowell would be so arrogant as to attack him.

Lowell, who was walking ahead, also heard the arguing and commotion behind him. He frowned and then turned around to look.

"What happened?" he asked.

"It looks like a fight has broken out." Someone looked back.

"It seems they're discussing whether Lord Lowell's equipment is practical or not," someone else remarked.

"A joke? Of course it's useful!"

Lowell paused for a moment, then continued confidently, "Although it is indeed a bit slow to move, it is extremely powerful when worn."

"Yes, Lord Lowell, wearing this, you can defeat a level 40 monster."

"These people are blind; they don't understand the benefits of this kind of thing at all."

"Hahaha, I think they're just jealous, jealous that Lord Lowell has such a good set of equipment."

……

With everyone praising him, Lowell became a little conceited.

"No, no, I can only theoretically challenge level 40 monsters. I haven't actually fought one yet, hahaha."

Lowell laughed.

"Brother, you're too modest. With your rare-level equipment and epic-level weapon, wouldn't any monster die at your hands?"

"That's right, Brother Lowell's fighting strength is definitely the strongest."

"It's all because the eldest brother doesn't show off and doesn't go on Japanese forums. Otherwise, how could Tsukikawa Shu have the chance to post so arrogantly and attract so many people to fawn over him? These people are incredibly stupid."

……

Lowell feigned modesty and quickly earned praise from everyone.

Lowell straightened up and smiled, looking quite content.
