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

The newcomers were none other than Hegni, a Level 5 member of Freya's Familia, and Allen, a Level 5 member.

Hegny spotted the fallen elf Dina at a glance, and a look of disgust instantly appeared on his handsome face.

"I've actually run into this eyesore."

As an elf himself, he harbored a deep-seated hatred for Dina, a fallen elf.

Dina also saw Hegni, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, and shouted at Hegni;

"Hegney!"

Allen asked calmly, his hands in his pockets.

"So, are you going to make a move?"

Hegny shook his head, glancing coldly at the disheveled Alexandra and the others with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Walk."

Dina uttered harsh insults.

"coward!"

"Why are you running? You coward!"

Hegni, however, did not turn his head and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Allen followed closely behind, leaving only a blurry afterimage.

Reinforcements arrived, but left immediately.

Laila stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered by what they meant.

"What...what does this mean? Why did they leave?"

04. Alexie, panting heavily, struggled to stand. Looking at the thick smoke rising in the distance, she said in a low voice...

"Perhaps other areas also need support!"

She glanced at Niz and Maru lying on the ground, then checked the injuries on herself and Iska.

"It's a pity that all four of us are injured, otherwise it wouldn't have been so embarrassing."

Ryu gripped the long sword in her hand tightly, her golden hair dancing lightly in the wind;

“Ishka, Asthai, and I are unharmed. The three of us will provide cover. You go first.”

Alexandra shook her head, her eyes flashing with determination; "Faced with the dark faction, I have no choice but to leave."

She turned to look at Liu, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry and trust.

"So, Ryu, you can be relied on, right?"

Ryu was stunned for a moment; she had never seen Alexie with such a serious expression.

"What is this...?"

Alexie didn't answer. She took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Everyone, give Ryu time!"

Alexie took a deep breath, and the flames around her body swirled again. Despite her unhealed injuries, her eyes remained resolute.

"Iska, you and I will entangle Vina! Her magic has a wide range; we must limit her spellcasting!"

Without hesitation, Iska charged forward with her bare hands.

"Noin, Astaire, harass Dina from the flanks and hold her off as much as possible! Laila, use your explosive balls to create cover for us!"

She quickly gave the order, her figure flashing like a red lightning bolt as she charged towards Vina.

"A profusion of red flowers!"

Flames roared on the rapier, and Alicia's speed exploded once more, turning her into a blur as she hurtled towards Vina.

Iska followed closely behind, her fist carrying a powerful gust of wind as she attacked Vina from another direction.

The fallen elf Dina and the poison elf Vina watched their actions with cruel and contemptuous smiles on their faces.

“A dying struggle,” Dina sneered. “Do you know why we didn’t attack the healer? Because we wanted to see you keep struggling.”

Vina shook her head dismissively: "A bunch of fools who don't know their own mortality. Do you think you can stop us with your wounded and crippled troops?"

She ignored Alexandra and Iska, and instead turned her gaze to Ryu.

Ryu gripped the long sword tightly, her golden hair dancing lightly in the wind, and she closed her eyes.

"—The distant forest sky, the endless night sky studded with countless stars..."

As she chanted, the surrounding air began to swell, and specks of fluorescent light emerged from her body, converging towards the tip of the long sword in her hand.

Vina's mocking smile suddenly froze.

She clearly sensed that the magical energy emanating from Ryu's body was threatening.

"Stop!" Vina's expression changed.

This chant is not ordinary offensive magic.

She whirled around, abandoning her fight with Alexandra and Iska, her demonic sword aimed directly at Ryu, her figure transforming into a black shadow as she tried to rush over and interrupt Ryu's chanting.

"Don't even think about it!" Alexie roared, the flames on her longsword burning even more fiercely. She and Ishka, one on the left and one on the right, launched a frenzied attack on Vina like two burning arrows.

Iska abandoned all defense, unleashing the innate savagery of the Amazonian race to the extreme. Every punch was aimed straight at Vina's vital points, forcing her to be distracted in order to deal with them.

"Moose Bomb!" Laila's petite figure weaved through the ruins, throwing out small explosive balls with precision, not to harm the enemy, but to create chaos.

"Boom! Boom!" The smoke and shock from the explosions constantly disrupted Vina's spellcasting rhythm and movement path.

On the other side, Noin and Astaire were tightly entangled with Dina.

Astaire slammed her shield into the ground and activated the skill [Iron Wall Oath], managing to withstand one of Dina's slashes. Despite the violent tremor in her arm, she did not retreat an inch.

Nuoin seized the opportunity to strike from the side, forcing Dina to retreat and defend.

They used their own flesh and blood to build a fragile yet resilient defense for Liu.

"Superior Harvest Wine!" Maru's hammer and spear emitted a soft green light, healing the ever-increasing new injuries of her teammates and maintaining this precarious balance.

In an instant, relying on a tacit understanding that transcended life and death, this group of girls, whose average level was no more than LV3, actually managed to hold two LV5 cadres firmly in place.

Liu's chanting grew clearer and higher.

"—Respond to my foolish voice, and once again grant me the protection of starlight. To you who have abandoned me, I offer you light and mercy—"

The light gathered at the tip of the long sword in her hand was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it; the terrifying magic made the air tremble.

Dina's expression finally changed. She and Vina exchanged a glance and saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.

"Sister!" Vina screamed.

“I know!” Dina replied.

Vina abruptly stepped back, creating distance between herself and Alexie. She raised her magic sword high, a sinister smile on her face.

"Devour, Beginning Gate. Despair will replace all hope!"

Dozens of dark fireballs appeared out of thin air, like a deadly meteor shower, indiscriminately covering the entire battlefield.

"Scatter!" Alexandra shouted urgently.

The defensive line collapsed instantly, and everyone was scrambling to avoid the fireballs.

This is the moment!

Dina's speed instantly broke through the limits, her figure transforming into a black shadow that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, rushing straight towards the gap exposed by dodging the fireball.

"Not good!" Alexie's pupils contracted sharply, but it was too late to defend herself.

Dina's figure, like a ghost, passed through everyone's obstruction and appeared in front of Ryu, who was in the final stage of the chanting.

Liu's tightly closed eyes seemed to sense a deadly threat, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

A cruel smile appeared on Dina's face.

She did not use a sword.

Instead, he raised his leg and, in the most contemptuous and insulting way, delivered a heavy kick to Liu Rouru's soft abdomen.

"puff!"

A dull thud.

Liu fell onto the cold stone slab.

86. It's about throwing money at people (Please subscribe)

That starlight, which gathered everyone's hopes, shone with unparalleled brilliance.

The moment Liu was hit, he disintegrated like fireworks, turning into countless specks of light that vanished into the polluted air.

The chanting stopped.

Vina slowly withdrew her leg, her face flushed with a sickly redness, a result of the pleasure she felt after inflicting pain.

She glanced at Liu and scoffed dismissively; "What a pity, little elf."

"I thought I was going to see some spectacular fireworks."

Dina appeared beside her, patting her cheek with the flat of her short sword, making a soft "slap slap" sound.

She glanced around at the faces of Alexandra, Iska, Lyra, and the others, each one etched with despair and anger, and the curve of her lips grew increasingly cruel.

"Is this what you call 'cooperation'?"

"Is this the 'miracle' you risked your lives to create?"

Dina let out a sharp laugh, full of undisguised mockery.

"What a touching display of camaraderie."

She fixed her gaze on Alexie, who had adopted an attacking stance;

"It seems your so-called cooperation is nothing but child's play!"

Vina took over the conversation, her voice full of mockery;

"One was responsible for taking the beatings, one for healing, and the rest were just doing odd jobs on the sidelines. In the end, they pinned their hopes on a spell that required a long incantation."

"Are you putting on a comedy show?"

"Simply ridiculous, even more laughable than a clown."

Lyra slumped to the ground, the small ball in her hand rolling to the side, her pink eyes filled with self-mockery, "The difference is indeed huge!"

Iska covered her arm, her makeup already smeared with sweat and blood, and she bit her lip.

Despair spread like a plague in the hearts of the girls.

"Stand up."

A weak but firm voice rang out.

It's Alexandra.

"As long as we can breathe, we haven't lost."

Alexie coughed violently, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but the fire in her eyes rekindled as she looked at her companions.

"I haven't fallen yet, are you already giving up?"

"Justice is not just a pretty word to be spoken!"

"Even if we die here, we will let them know that there is not a single coward in the Astrea Familia!"

Dina watched the scene with great interest, as if she were enjoying a wonderful drama.

"Sister, look, their eyes have changed again."

Vina licked her lips, her eyes filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

"That's wonderful. I love that look in your eyes when you're struggling in despair."

Dina raised her twin short swords, the tips aimed at Alexie, who had regained her fighting stance.

"Then, I will personally extinguish your laughable hopes."

"The game is over."
