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

Guros was taken aback.

"how about you?"

"I……"

Reed glanced at his companions beside him, whose eyes were equally determined and who were also quite strong.

"Let's go and rescue him."

"You've gone mad!"

Guros let out an incredulous growl.

"I'm not crazy."

Reed's tone was calm.

"I just... don't want to run away anymore." (Towel)

264. Flashy but impractical magic

Deep within the cave, the morbid, maniacal laughter of Rives echoed.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore!"

Lynn leaned against the cold rock wall, breathing heavily.

Every breath was accompanied by excruciating, tearing pain throughout my body.

His strength was completely exhausted, his vision blurred, and even standing became extremely difficult.

The filthy fairy's twisted, translucent body, carrying a nauseating stench, slowly approached.

All around him, dozens of man-eating flower monsters opened their mucus-covered mouths, completely blocking all his escape routes.

The shadow of death has never been so clear.

Ruiweis admired the despair that flashed across his face, the thrill of trampling the "705U.COM" powerhouse underfoot that made her tremble with excitement.

"Where's your flame? Show it to me again!"

She reached out her hand, as if ready to savor the fruits of victory.

Lynn clenched her teeth, her mouth filled with the taste of blood.

He raised his left hand, the only one he could still move with difficulty, and a tiny, almost invisible flame flickered in his palm.

This was his last, and most powerless, act of resistance.

Just as the filthy fairy's claws were about to pierce his chest...

Whoosh-!

A swift black shadow suddenly shot out from the shadows of the cave, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, and slammed hard into the side of the filthy fairy!

boom!

The filthy fairy spirit let out a silent shriek, its translucent body being sent flying by the force of the impact, crashing heavily into the rock wall on the other side.

The smile on Revis's face froze instantly, and she turned her head sharply to look in the direction of the attackers.

"who?"

From the shadows, several figures of different shapes slowly emerged.

Leading the group was a lizardman wielding a bone spear, his body covered in bluish-gray scales.

Behind him followed a graceful bird-man with magnificent wings, and several other monsters that also exuded a powerful aura.

Heretic!

Rives's pupils contracted sharply, and then a look of fury appeared on her face.

"Reed! Is that you?"

She recognized these intelligent "outsiders" who dwelled deep within the underground city.

"You rats hiding in the gutter, how dare you meddle in my business?"

Reed the lizard ignored her shouts; his upright pupils were fixed on the other side, on the man who was almost collapsing to the ground.

Lynn looked at them in equal shock.

Reed, Rey...

These heretics who caused such a huge uproar in the original work, how could they appear here?

And... he even saved him?

Lynn's mind was in complete chaos.

He thought he was doomed, but to his surprise, the ones who made the final move were these monsters who were considered enemies by the world.

His face showed no fear, no disgust, only a pure, incomprehensible astonishment.

Reed caught the fleeting expression on his face.

That's not the expression humans usually show when they see them.

At this moment, the uncertain premonition in Reed's heart became incredibly clear.

He made the right bet!

“Gulus was right, you really have gone mad!” Birdwoman Lei whispered beside him, her voice filled with tension. “We are no match for that crazy woman!”

“It’s too late to say all this now.” Reed lowered his voice, gripping the bone spear in his hand even tighter. “Now that we’ve made our move, there’s no turning back.”

He looked at Lynn with a look that only the two of them could understand, signaling him to look for an opportunity.

Ravis's anger had reached its peak...

Being resisted by her prey already made her very unhappy.

Now, even a group of "defective products" that she usually doesn't even consider worthy of her attention dare to provoke her!

"Fine, very well!" she laughed in exasperation. "Since you're all so eager to come and die, then I'll grant your wish!"

"Tear them all to shreds, along with that human! Turn them into fertilizer!"

She screamed wildly.

All the carnivorous plant monsters, along with the filthy fairy that had regained its footing, turned their attention to Reed and Lynn and launched an attack simultaneously.

"Do it!" Reed growled.

The few heretical warriors behind him roared and charged forward.

A chaotic battle erupted in an instant.

Lynn looked at the absurd scene before him, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He knew that the heretics were no match for Rives.

Although they were powerful, they couldn't hold out for long against that almost magic-immune and extremely poisonous filthy fairy.

He has to do something.

He forced himself to calm down, and Alphia's vast memories rapidly sifted through his mind.

Version 4.0 is here!

A composite spell, which Alphia deemed "flashy but impractical," suddenly appeared.

It cannot cause direct harm, but it can...

A resolute glint flashed in Lynn's eyes.

He watched the man-eating flower monsters frantically attacking the heretics, and the fragile magical conduits at their roots that connected to the ground.

He raised his hand and poured the last of his strength into the magic that was about to take shape.

"【All Things Grow - Reversal】!"

There was no explosion, no light.

Only an invisible wave, centered on Lynn, spread out instantly.

265. Listen, Lizardman

The man-eating flower monsters, which were originally ferocious and violent, suddenly stopped moving.

Then, under Revis's incredulous gaze, their enormous bodies began to wither and decay rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The magic they relied on for survival, which they drew from the dungeon, was forcibly reversed by Lynn's magic, drawn back into the earth!

In just a few breaths, dozens of man-eating flower monsters were all turned into a pile of dry, rotten plant remains.

"What...what did you do?!"

Rives let out a horrified scream.

Lynn did not answer her. After releasing the spell, he could no longer hold on, and everything went black as he completely lost consciousness.

In his final moments, he saw Reed the Lizardman looking at him with an incredibly shocked expression.

Meanwhile, Rives fixed her gaze, filled with resentment and murderous intent, on him, the culprit who had destroyed all her "pets".

"I'm going to... skin you alive!"

Rives's rage completely ignited the entire cave.

Having lost the carnivorous flower army, she poured all her anger into the filthy fairy.

"Kill him! Kill him right now!"

The filthy fairy let out a piercing scream, its translucent body transforming into a streak of gray lightning. Ignoring the heretic warriors who were fighting it, it pounced straight on the unconscious man.

Its target, from the very beginning, was Lynn.

"Don't think about it!"

Reed roared, and the bone spear in his hand burst forth with astonishing speed. The spearhead whistled through the air and precisely struck the tainted fairy's back.

However, the strike, powerful enough to pierce through rock, only caused the fairy's body to sway slightly before being completely neutralized by the strange energy.

Physical attacks have little effect!

"Damn it!" Reed cursed under his breath.

This thing is simply a monster without any weaknesses.

At this critical moment, the bird-woman Rei descended from the sky. Her magnificent wings flapped suddenly, and a sharp sonic boom erupted from her mouth.

[A captivating sound]!

The filthy fairy spirit's forward-rushing figure suddenly stopped.

Sonic attacks are effective against this kind of spiritual energy entity!

Although it was only a brief pause, it bought precious time for others.

The other two heretical warriors, a minotaur and a snake-man, roared and pounced from both sides, using their powerful bodies to tightly embrace the tainted fairy's body, attempting to imprison it in place.

"Well done!" Reed was greatly encouraged.

He was about to direct his comrades to launch a concentrated attack.

A weak yet incredibly clear voice suddenly rang out in the minds of all the heretics.

"It's no use..."

It's Lynn!

He had woken up sometime earlier and was leaning against the rock wall, his face as pale as paper.

"This kind of celestial essence, which is composed of pure negative energy, can only be temporarily restricted by conventional physical and sonic attacks, but cannot be killed."

His voice was transmitted directly through mental power, another little trick in Alphia's memory.

Reed and the others were astonished; they hadn't expected that this human could use such advanced mental communication in this state.

"What should we do?" Reed asked anxiously in his mind.

“The core…” Lynn’s breathing became rapid, “Its core is in the darkest part of its chest…that’s where its power comes from, and also its only weakness.”

"However, that core is enveloped in powerful negative energy, and any attack will be swallowed up."

"It must be completely destroyed by using... pure, positive energy, such as divine power, or... the purest life force to detonate it instantly."
