A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

But Lynn's spirit had long been as firm as a rock.

He could even sense that beneath that spiritual corruption lay something deeper.

A form of forced visual manipulation specifically targeting "high-energy life forms".

"so it is……"

A knowing smile curved Lynn's lips.

"As long as your energy is strong enough, it will forcibly lock onto you and make you its primary target. And once you make eye contact with it, you will be dragged into the abyss of mental pollution."

Instead of restraining his power, Lynn pushed the [Fire Control Technique] to its limit.

call--!

A massive pillar of fire, over ten meters in diameter, shot into the sky from beneath his feet, transforming into a roaring fire dragon that coiled around him.

At this moment, Lynn was like the only sun in this burning hell.

That unparalleled energy fluctuation instantly drew Nidhogg's full attention.

Its enormous body began to slowly turn, and countless scarlet eyes were all fixed on Lynn.

It abandoned its harassment of the Astrea Familia, and the split entities, as if they had lost their command, ceased their attacks, turning into pools of black liquid and re-merging into the ground.

The crisis has been temporarily averted.

But the girls of the Astrea Familia felt an even greater fear.

Because they saw Lynn taking steps, actively walking towards the monster.

"Lynn! What do you want to do?"

Alexandra let out a terrified scream.

"Don't go there! You'll die!"

"rest assured"

Lynn didn't turn his head; his voice, transmitted clearly through the vibrations of the flames, reached everyone's ears.

"Since we don't know where its weakness lies."

"Then... let it reveal its weaknesses on its own."

Before he finished speaking, Lynn's figure suddenly accelerated.

He didn't use any weapons, but instead hurled the coiling fire dragon fiercely towards Nidhogg's massive maw.

He wanted to use the purest, most direct violence to force this monster to its limits!

"Madman..."

Meanwhile, Alphia, who was engaged in a high-speed magical exchange with Frilian, also noticed Lynn's suicidal act.

For the first time, an expression of incomprehension appeared on her face.

Is this man really not afraid of death?

Frilian's attacks, however, became even more ferocious at this moment.

[Lightning of Destruction]!

【Hell Karma Fire】!

Countless forbidden spells that would be recorded in epic tales were used by her with ease, as if they were merely the most basic tricks.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"

Frilian's tone remained calm, but her gaze sent a chill down Alphia's spine.

"You will die."

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

0...Requesting flowers...0

Just then, the entire eighteenth floor shook violently once again.

Nidhogg was thoroughly enraged by Lynn's provocation.

Its enormous body suddenly curled up into a ball, and then, like a spinning top, began to spin at high speed!

Countless tentacles, under the influence of centrifugal force, transformed into thousands of black blades, slicing indiscriminately in all directions!

This is a map-cannon-level attack that covers the entire floor!

"Defense!"

Liu reacted instantly. Ignoring the enormous drain on her mental energy, she once again condensed the barrier of [Wind of Light] in an attempt to block this world-destroying attack.

0 ........

But the black blade easily tore through the light barrier.

Alexie's firewall, Niz's sonic waves, Lyra's bombs... all defenses seemed so pale and powerless in the face of this absolute power.

Just as that black storm of death was about to engulf them.

A golden figure blocked their way.

It's Lynn.

He crossed his arms, and flames erupted from them as he struggled to defend himself, though it was somewhat difficult.

But instead, a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

"found it."

His eyes, burning with golden flames, pierced through layers of black storms and locked precisely on the center of the monster's rotation.

There, there is a beating core, like a heart, made of the purest darkness...

"That's it!"

He roared behind him.

That's its weakness!

The girls of the Astrea Familia were momentarily stunned and breathless.

"What are you standing there for!"

Alexandra was the first to react, her red ponytail swinging in the air in an arc.

"Cooperate with Lynn! Attack that weakness!"

249. That's all, little hero.

Alexie activated [Crimson Blossoms] again. This time, she did not rush towards the monster, but instead poured all the power of the flames into the rapier "Crimson Order" in her hand.

A condensed crimson sword light shot out from his hand, accurately heading in the direction Lynn indicated.

"[Five Lights]!"

Kaguya did not hesitate either, and five deadly blades followed closely behind.

Despite his mental exhaustion, Liu mustered another ball of light and threw it out with all his might.

However, their attacks, when they came into contact with the rapidly spinning black storm, were like stones sinking into the sea, instantly crushed and vanished without a trace.

"No! It's spinning too fast! Our attacks can't penetrate it at all!"

Lyra called out anxiously, "705U.COM".

Nidhogg seemed to sense the danger of its exposed core, and it spun even faster, unleashing a black storm that became even more terrifying.

Boom!

A loud bang came from above everyone's heads.

No, that wasn't a loud noise.

It was the sound of some extremely heavy object falling from a great height and crashing through the rock face of the building.

Two figures, like meteorites, fell from the sky and landed heavily on the battlefield.

One of the figures was petite, yet she wore a magnificent emerald green robe and held a huge staff that was taller than her.

The other figure was as burly as a small mountain, carrying a huge battle axe that gleamed with a cold light on his shoulder.

"That bastard Finn... always assigns us these deadly tasks."

The burly figure uttered a loud, gruff complaint.

He glanced around at the hellish battlefield, finally fixing his gaze on Lynn, who was bracing himself against the storm.

"However, it seems we haven't arrived too late."

"Rivia! Grace!"

Alexandra looked at the two familiar figures and let out a surprised shout.

The newcomers were none other than the two pillars of the Loki Familia: the Level 5 mage "Nine Demon Princesses" Rivilia and the Level 5 heavy warrior Grace!

"We understand the situation."

Riveria's expression remained calm as always, but a solemn light flickered in her emerald green eyes.

Without uttering a single superfluous word, she raised her staff high and began a long and sacred chant that instantly resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

"—I call you by the name of the wind. You are my fellow forest dwellers. You are my comrades, earth dwellers..."

As she sang, a tremendous magic began to gather around her.

Grace stepped forward, his massive body like an unshakeable mountain, blocking the path of all the Astrea Familia members.

He slammed his enormous battle axe into the ground.

"【The brave are indomitable!】"

He let out a roar, and golden battle aura erupted from his body, forming an indestructible semi-circular barrier that completely blocked everyone behind him.

The black storm, powerful enough to tear everything apart, struck the golden aura barrier, producing a piercing scraping sound, but could not advance even an inch further!

"The time has come perfectly."

The girls of the Astrea Familia, protected by the barrier, finally had a chance to catch their breath.

"It's not over yet!"

Grace turned around and glared at them.

"Lynn, you're still fighting desperately up there!"

They struggled to their feet and looked ahead.

Lynn's pressure suddenly lessened the moment Grace deployed the barrier.

He was finally free from having to withstand all the attacks.

But instead of retreating, he took the opportunity to get even closer to the rapidly spinning monster.

He could feel his strength rapidly draining away.

We must act swiftly!

"Rivia! Hurry up and unleash your ultimate attack!"

Lynn shouted loudly.

"Shut up! Don't bother me!"

Fine beads of sweat had formed on Riveria's forehead....

What she was preparing was her most treasured wide-area annihilation magic.

This will take time.

"Tch, trouble!"

Lynn spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer.

He took a deep breath, and the golden flames on his body instantly contracted, all of them compressed into his right fist.

His right arm swelled up, covered in ferocious flames, as if it were no longer a human arm.
