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

With each swing of the Black Sword in his hand, it was as if a scarlet brushstroke was being smeared across a black canvas.

No monster could withstand him for even a second.

He was like an indestructible icebreaker, forcefully carving a path to the enemy commander's death within the ranks of the dark faction.

"Eternal struggle, never to be defeated by Lei Bing!"

Hedinna's iconic, extremely short hymns resounded on the left wing of the battlefield.

Hundreds of lightning orbs, flashing with destructive sparks, appeared out of thin air like a precisely guided meteor shower, covering the flanks of the dark faction as they attempted to regroup.

Screams and wails rose and fell.

"Unsheathed and in full bloom, the Demon Sword King's Radiance!"

On the other side, Hegni also activated his magic.

His overly dramatic, adolescent singing was accompanied by the soaring sword light.

Entering his second personality, he transforms into the purest embodiment of killing, each strike carrying madness and destruction.

Golden lightning streaked across the battlefield, tracing deadly arcs.

Bert's speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to perceive it.

Those dark faction officials who managed to escape from the front lines didn't even have time to celebrate before they were torn to shreds by a golden gust of wind that swept past them from behind.

The battle had evolved from an initial stalemate into a complete massacre.

The adventurers, ignited by the sacrifice of veterans like Noah, now unleashed their grief, anger, and fury upon the enemy.

They roared and charged, using their swords to defend their homes.

"Hold on! Everyone hold on!"

Behind the Dark Faction's lines, Valetta watched the rout unfold before her, her face ashen.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, trying to salvage the irreversible decline.

But her voice was quickly drowned out by the deafening shouts of the adventurers.

She saw it.

She saw the pigman warrior wielding the Black Sword, approaching her step by step.

She saw the other two giants of the Freya Familia flanking her from both flanks, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

She knew she was finished.

The battle on the surface has already been lost.

They suffered a crushing defeat.

Resentment, bitterness, madness... all sorts of emotions intertwined in her eyes.

"Finn...Loki's Familia...Eulalee..."

She muttered to herself, her expression turning incredibly ferocious.

...

The dungeon, the eighteenth floor...

Zagnat's attack was faster than anyone could have imagined.

Before anyone could react, the claws imbued with the laws of destruction appeared before Artemis.

"Don't think about it!"

A roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Grace's massive body moved faster than anyone else, his giant axe whipping up a golden whirlwind as it precisely struck Zagnat's claws.

Boom!

A violent shockwave erupted, centered on the two of them.

The ground beneath Grace's feet shattered inch by inch, and his mountain-like body was forced back more than ten meters by this immense force.

He felt a tearing pain in his arms, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, bleeding profusely.

"What incredible strength..."

Grace stared intently at the monster before her, a wave of shock washing over her.

He's a Level 5 heavy warrior, known for his strength.

But in a pure contest of strength, he was completely overwhelmed by this monster!

Zagnat's attack was blocked, which seemed somewhat unexpected.

Its scarlet eyes swept over Grace, and then it let out an even more ferocious roar.

Its other claw, accompanied by a 4.0-degree whistling sound that tore through the air, swept towards Grace's face!

"—I call your name the wind..."

Just at this critical moment, Riveria's chanting rang out.

Dozens of chains made of wind blades shot in from all directions, binding Zagnat's limbs and forcibly slowing down its movements.

"Now!"

Alexie and Kaguya also recovered from their shock.

The two exchanged a glance, and their long-cultivated understanding allowed them to make the best choice in an instant.

"【Red Flowers in Full Bloom】!"

"【A flash of blood】!"

260. Goodbye, Experimenter

Crimson flames and blood-red blades, one on the left and one on the right, struck Zagnat's flanks like two deadly bolts of lightning.

Ding!Ding!

However, the attack, which was enough to severely injure a level 4 monster, only produced two insignificant sparks when it landed on Zagnat's black shell.

"Is its defense this insane?!"

Alexie's face was extremely ugly.

Strength, speed, defense—this monster is simply a perfect killing machine with no weaknesses.

The battle instantly reached a stalemate.

Grace took the hit head-on, and each block sent his blood surging through him.

Riveria tried to harass and control the situation from behind with magic, but to little avail.

Alexie, Kaguya, and the others launched a frantic attack, trying to find a weakness, but all their efforts were in vain.

On the edge of this chaotic battlefield, Frilian's actions left everyone speechless.

She stepped aside, showing no intention of interfering. Instead, she took out a notebook from her suitcase and observed Zagnat with great interest, occasionally jotting something down in it.

[Magic that alters the form of matter is ineffective.]

[Mental interference magic is ineffective.]

[Time-stopping magic, now grants resistance.]

His focused expression suggested that he was engaged in a precious academic study.

"Hey! You elf! What are you doing!"

After a violent impact, Grace couldn't help but turn around and roar.

Does this woman really intend to watch them all die in battle?

Upon hearing the sound, Frilian raised her head, her emerald green eyes glancing at the bewildered crowd, then at Zagnat, who was growing increasingly ferocious during the attack.

She closed her notebook, sighed softly, and her tone carried a hint of barely perceptible regret.

"What a pity, the sample is going to be ruined."

Before she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.

The next second, she appeared behind Zagnat, her staff lightly touching the monster's indestructible black armor.

There was no chanting, no magical fluctuations.

[Analysis of Magic].

hum-

An invisible ripple spread out from the tip of the staff in an instant, reaching the entire body of the magician.

Zagnat's ferocious movements suddenly faltered.

It seemed to sense something, and for the first time, a hint of confusion appeared in its scarlet eyes.

It didn't understand why this tiny creature in front of it didn't attack it, but instead gave it a feeling of being completely seen through from the inside out.

In Freya's mind, countless extremely complex magical formulas and laws flashed by, recombine, and swirled rapidly.

[Composition: A high-density mixture of fantasy minerals.]

[Energy Core: The condensation of the dungeon's will.]

[Action Logic: Annihilate the highest energy reaction within the annihilation range.]

[Spell Resistance: A conceptual saving throw against conventional physical and magical attacks...]

"so it is."

A subtle smile curved at the corners of Freya's lips.

"The structure is ingenious, but not incomprehensible."

She raised her staff, and the ruby ​​at its tip shone with a faint light.

"Then, let's begin the second phase of the experiment."

[Dispelling Magic].

A strange wave emanated from the staff once again.

The space surrounding Zagnat, the endless flow of energy supplied to it by the dungeon, suddenly became chaotic, and then, like a stream whose source had been cut off, it instantly ceased.

roar--!!!

Zagnat let out a painful roar for the first time.

The crimson light emanating from its body began to flicker.

It could feel that its connection with its "mother" had been forcibly severed.

"efficient."

Frilian made her judgment calmly.

Then, she raised her head, her emerald green eyes calmly gazing at the enraged monster before her.

"In that case, there's no point in studying it."

The ruby ​​at the tip of her staff instantly dimmed, transforming into an extremely deep darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light.

It was an energy that Grace, Riveria, and even Artemis had never seen before, an energy filled with the aura of ending and annihilation.

[Killing Magic].

"Goodbye, test subject."

A jet of black light, more condensed and purer than any previous attack, shot out from the tip of the staff.

There was no sound, no explosion.

The beam of light silently pierced Zagnat's chest.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Zagnat's massive body froze in place.

Then, centered on the point where the ray struck, black cracks began to spread rapidly.

That wasn't a physical breakage.
