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

"Die!" she roared, and with one swing of her axe, she cleaved a goblin and its club in two.

Naza's speed also increased significantly, and the longbow in her hand was drawn to its full extent.

Arrows rained down, each one piercing the monster's vitals with pinpoint accuracy.

"hiss!!!"

"Boo!!!"

The screams of goblins and dungeon lizards echoed through the mist.

The members of the Mih Familia's squad received a significant boost under Lynn's "Born Rich" buff, making them practically halfway to LV3.

The monsters, who had previously held the numerical advantage, were now being suppressed and forced to retreat, with more and more monsters falling.

However, that mutated clown monster,

But at that moment, it fixed its scarlet eyes on Lynn.

It clearly realized that Lynn was the source of this powerful force.

A gray-white afterimage suddenly pierced through the fog and rushed straight at Lynn.

"Watch out!" Naza shouted, her entire focus on protecting Lynn.

She swayed, and swung her longbow sharply in an attempt to stop the clown demon's attack.

But the clown demon was too fast; it miraculously evaded Nazha's obstruction with a twisted posture.

After sensing a decrease in dexterity, Lynn did not stand still.

He kept running within a safe area, dodging the clown monster's attacks.

Dexterity is reduced, but agility is lost.

Once he started moving, and with the cover provided by Naza's bow and arrows, the mutated clown demon was unable to attack him for a time.

While shooting arrows to suppress the other monsters, Naza kept a close eye on Lynn's figure.

She couldn't help but admire Lynn's calm and collected handling of the situation.

Faced with such a dangerous mutant, a Level 1 newcomer was able to maintain such composure and mobility.

Under the full-scale counterattack of the Mih Familia members, the number of goblins and dungeon lizards rapidly decreased.

Soon, the monsters in the surrounding area were mostly cleared out, leaving only a few scattered ones lingering in the distance, too afraid to approach.

However, even with the enhancements, Naza and her two companions still couldn't do anything about the mutated clown monster.

Its speed and cunning exceeded their expectations.

The clown demon moved through the fog like a ghost, each attack extremely cunning.

Ten minutes were almost up.

A hint of anxiety flashed across Nazha's face.

She swung her longbow sharply and shouted at the mutated clown monster in the mist, "Vina, Lina! Let's take the initiative! Subdue it!"

"Yes!" the dwarf sisters responded in unison, their tower shields and battle axes wielding even more fiercely as they charged toward the possible location of the clown demon.

However, the mutated clown monster was like a ghost.

It weaves through the fog, each attack a feint, never directly confronting the members of the Mih Familia.

It seemed to be deliberately stalling for time, waiting for the buffs on Lynn to disappear.

Naza was extremely anxious and shot arrows like raindrops, but she was still unable to lock onto the clown's true form.

"Damn it!" she gritted her teeth, watching as the golden dragon phantom swirling around Lynn gradually became transparent.

"Om-"

An invisible force suddenly dissipated in the cave.

The three small golden dragons that were wrapped around Lynn let out a barely audible dragon roar in mid-air, and then turned into specks of golden light and completely disappeared into the air.

The effect of "Born Rich" has ended.

Naza and the dwarf sisters instantly felt their bodies sink, and that wonderful feeling of being filled with power receded like the tide.

Their movements also became slower.

43. Give me two minutes!

Almost at the same instant, the mutated clown let out a sharp screech.

It stopped dodging and, with its twisted body, charged towards Nazha, who had lost her buffs, like an arrow released from a bow.

Naza's expression changed, and she hastily parried with her longbow, but it was easily knocked away by the clown demon's claws.

"boom!"

She was struck by the clown's claw, her body slamming against the rock wall with a muffled thud.

"Captain!" the dwarf sisters exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to provide support.

Without Lynn's buffs, the Mih Familia's squad was instantly put on the defensive.

Naza endured the pain, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Vina!" Nazha suddenly shouted.

"Take Mr. Lynn and Miss Chunji and get out of here immediately!"

"We'll cover the rear here!"

"This is an order!"

Despite the excruciating pain in her arm, Vina anxiously reached out, wanting to take Lynn and Chunji away.

"Lynn, Chunji, come with us quickly!"

"Wait a minute, I might have a way." Lynn shook her head.

He wanted to give it a try.

The mutated clown monster's strength lies in its ability to constantly release fog, making it almost impossible to locate within the fog.

Lynn slowly closed her eyes.

The Swallow Return brought not only unparalleled swordsmanship, but also Kojiro's insights into swordsmanship.

He took a deep breath, focusing all his attention on the surrounding airflow, sounds, and the faint, fishy smell.

The clown's movements are strange, but not without pattern.

Every time it moves, it causes the surrounding air to move.

Each slash of its claws produced a faint sound.

A clear "map" gradually emerged in Lynn's mind.

The mutated clown's movement trajectory, attack direction, and even its next possible landing point became completely clear.

The mutant clown demon's current target is Gulnazar.

After the "Born Rich" effect ends, the mutated clown will stop attacking you.

It seems this guy is intelligent.

Although she could give Nazha directions with her eyes closed, Lynn trusted her own Yan Fan more.

However, since the clown monster didn't get close, Lynn couldn't attack it.

"Chun-hime," Lynn suddenly spoke, his voice not loud.

"Use it on me, the Magic Hammer!"

At this time,

Naza discovered that Lynn and Chunji were still there and shouted angrily;

"Vina! What are you doing? Get them away from here right now! What are you dawdling for?!"

"Wait a minute!" Lynn shouted.

"Give me two minutes!"

Naza's movements suddenly faltered.

She recalled Lynn's incredible "born rich" attribute and realized that this LV1 newcomer was no ordinary person.

She stopped talking, gritted her teeth, and focused intently on searching for the clown's trail to buy Lynn time.

Chunji has absolute trust in Lynn, and she will do whatever Lynn says.

She immediately closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and softly chanted an incantation;

"Grow bigger."

"With their strength and actions, they will gain countless treasures and countless wishes."

"When the bells toll, we pray for glory and dreams."

"—Grow larger, devour this body of divine food, and be bestowed with the golden light of the gods."

"Give the mallet back to the earth, and bestow blessings."

She suddenly opened her eyes, stretched out her slender fingers, and pointed them at Alexandra.

"【Wanbao Hammer】!"

A golden ray of light converged from above Chunji's head, and then, like a shooting star, instantly focused on Lynn.

"Om-!"

A tremendous power erupted within Lynn's body in an instant.

Lynn's level instantly increased to LV2!

The mutated clown demon did indeed notice the changes happening to Lynn.

It abandoned its attack on Nazha and quickly changed targets in the fog. Its slender figure shot towards Lynn like an arrow released from a bow.

With his eyes closed, Lynn clearly sensed the clown demon approaching. He knew that his chance had come!

"Swallow Returns!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

The longsword in his hand was like black lightning, drawing three arcs in the air that were difficult to see with the naked eye.

Before the sword's edge arrives, the chill sets in.

"Puff puff!"

Silently, the three sword lights struck almost simultaneously.

The first sword strike severed the clown demon's claws, causing its attack to miss.

The second sword strike precisely sliced ​​across its slender neck, severing its life force.

The third sword pierced through his body, utterly killing him.

The whole process was extremely fast and fluid, without any unnecessary movements.

The mutated clown's body stiffened in mid-air for a moment before collapsing to the ground with a muffled sound in the mist.

【Swallow Return】Proficiency level: 65%.

The fog gradually dissipated.

Naza and her teammates stared in astonishment at the clown demon's corpse lying on the ground.

The strange and troublesome clown monster that was just now was actually... instantly killed?

“This… what is this…” Naza’s longbow fell limply to her side, her eyes filled with shock.

She had never seen such bizarre and powerful swordsmanship.

“LV2… He actually leveled up to LV2 in an instant?!” The dwarf sisters Vina and Lina, along with the healer Gelf, stood frozen in place, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

How could a LV1 newbie instantly level up and possess such terrifying swordsmanship?

This is completely beyond their understanding of adventurers!
