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

A person who has been killing insanely since the moment he appeared, whose behavior is perverted.

A dwarf who, at a crucial moment, blames his comrades and tries to disrupt morale.

In the survival rules of the dark faction, suspicion and betrayal are more deadly than enemies.

What she needs is a sharp knife, not a crooked piece of trash lurking behind her back.

"Shut up."

Valetta's voice was cold, and the longsword in her hand drew a deadly streak in the air.

It wasn't aimed at Lynn, nor at the monster.

Instead, it shot at the dwarf.

puff!

The longsword pierced the dwarf's back with precision, the tip of the sword, tinged with blood, protruding from his chest.

The dwarf's anger froze. He looked down in disbelief at the tip of the sword in his chest, then slowly turned to look at Valetta.

"Why...why...~..."

Valeta did not answer, but with a flick of her wrist, she withdrew her longsword.

The dwarf's tall body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lynn was secretly overjoyed, but on his face he wore a righteous and awe-inspiring expression and nodded heavily to Valetta.

"Lady Valetta is wise!"

He turned around and shouted to the remaining silent men in black, "The traitor has been killed! Be alert! Follow Lady Valetta and kill this scorpion!"

Valeta snorted and ignored the little incident.

In her view, it no longer matters who is right and who is wrong.

The death of one dwarf can bring the rest of them together again, and that is enough.

"Attack! All of you!" she roared, charging towards Andares once more. "Kill it! Steal the black dragon scales, and the god Thanatos will be overjoyed!"

The remaining members of the dark faction were roused and howled like beasts as they launched a new offensive, following their commander.

Liu returned to Lynn's side silently, lowering her voice.

"What do we do now? They're on guard."

“No rush.” Lynn’s lips curled into a smile. “Let them wear themselves out a little longer.”

"We need to be more careful with assassinations, so we don't give anyone any leverage against us again."

As he watched Valeta's fearless figure disappear into the distance, a new plan formed in his mind.

That sword strike just now, while resolving the trouble, also drained Valetta's energy.

Her battle with Andares is becoming increasingly difficult.

The opportunity will soon appear again.

Valette felt she was nearing her limit.

Andares' strength and stamina exceeded her expectations.

Each attack sent numbness through her hands and arms, making her almost lose all feeling.

What troubled her even more was that the pressure behind her did not lessen after the execution of the "traitor," but instead became heavier and heavier.

She could hear fewer and fewer human voices.

The screams rose and fell, never ceasing.

"Roar--!"

Andares seized the opportunity when she was distracted, and his huge stinger, like a black lightning bolt, suddenly stabbed at her.

Valetta's heart pounded with alarm, and she forcefully twisted her body, barely avoiding a fatal blow.

But the poisoned needle still grazed her ribs, drawing a string of blood beads.

A sharp, stinging pain and numbness instantly spread from the wound.

Valeta grunted and used the impact to retreat quickly, creating distance between herself and Andares.

She covered her wound, her face turning extremely pale.

Something's not right again!

Behind her, there were less than ten people still struggling to hold on.

What about the rest?

Even if they were besieged by derivatives, it would be impossible for them to be completely wiped out so quietly in such a short time!

She turned around abruptly, her gaze passing over her subordinates who were still struggling with the little scorpion, and landing precisely on Lynn and Liu of the "53 Reading Club".

The two men worked together seamlessly, their movements unpredictable, and every strike they made was clean and swift.

But they only ever killed monsters.

Their companions around them were falling at an abnormal rate.

Valetta isn't stupid.

Once is a coincidence, twice is a conspiracy.

She'd been tricked!

That damned dwarf was telling the truth!

"It was you!" Valeta pointed her sword at Lynn, her voice distorted with rage. "You did it!"

Seeing her like that, Lynn knew she couldn't hide it any longer.

He simply stopped pretending and flashed a bright smile.

"You're only realizing it now? Too late."

Now that he'd been exposed, Lynn stopped pretending and started making his move.

Instead of rushing towards Valetta, he lunged at the man in black who was closest to him.

Before the man in black could react, Lynn's sword had already pierced his heart.

"you……"

The man in black stared wide-eyed, then collapsed limply to the ground.

At the same time, Ryu also abandoned his disguise, and the katana in his hand transformed into a silver streak of light, instantly severing the throat of another enemy.

"Bastards!" Valeta roared, her eyes blazing with rage. "Who are you people?"

"you guess?"

Lynn was too lazy to waste time talking to her. He raised his head and let out a clear whistle towards the top of the cliff.

This is a signal!

"Make your move!"

On the cliff, Lethesa, who had been on edge the whole time, was the first to draw her longsword the moment she heard the whistle.

"Everyone! Charge with me! Target: The Dark Faction!"

With a shout, she took the lead and leaped directly off the cliff.

Behind her stood dozens of Artemis Familia maidens, like Valkyries descended to earth.

Fueled by long-suppressed rage and fighting spirit, they formed a white torrent and launched a deadly charge towards the men in black in the deep pit!

The third force in the war has finally entered the 630th battle.

This time, however, the positions of hunter and prey have been completely reversed.

Valeta watched the graceful figures descending from the sky, noticing the insignia of the Artemis Familia on their bodies, and her mind went completely blank.

She finally understood everything.

This is a setup.

A deadly trap set against them from beginning to end!

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs, but it was too late.

The maidens of the Artemis Familia, having waited patiently, launched a relentless attack.

These defeated and exhausted soldiers were already at their last gasp, covered in wounds.

Even more fatal was that the monster Andares was intelligent; it clearly held a grudge.

It let out a sharp screech and, controlling all its derivatives, surged wildly toward Valetta and her minions!

Besieged on all sides, surrounded by enemies.

Despair instantly gripped the hearts of the members of the dark faction.

"kill!"

Lessa from the "53 Reading Club" took the lead, her longsword whipping up a fierce gust of wind as she cleaved a black-clad man who was trying to turn and run away, knocking him to the ground.

Her eyes were cold, devoid of any pity.

These murderers who brutally killed innocent adventurers in the valley deserved to die.

The girls who followed closely behind also demonstrated extremely high combat skills.

Their formation remained perfectly intact, with archers providing precise suppressive fire from the rear, and mages chanting spells to restrict the enemy's movements with frost and vines.

The soldiers in the front ranks, like the sharpest blades, mercilessly reaped the lives of the enemy.

This was a massacre with no suspense whatsoever.

The members of the Dark Faction had already exhausted a great deal of physical strength and energy in their fierce battle with Andares, and most of them were injured to varying degrees.

At this moment, facing this highly motivated and fully-trained force, they were simply unable to mount any effective resistance.

Just as a man in black blocked a female warrior's slash, a cold arrow flew from the side and accurately pierced his eye socket.

Another man in black tried to block with his weapon, but his hands and feet were frozen by an ice wall that appeared out of thin air. The next second, he was pierced through the body by several long swords.

"what--!"

The screams echoed throughout the entire pit.

But what drove them to despair the most was not these suddenly appearing enemies.

Instead, it was that monster, Andares.

It seems to possess extremely high intelligence and adheres to the principle of revenge.

The moment Artemis's Familia charged into the battlefield, it abandoned its pursuit of Lynn and Ryu, instead unleashing all its fury on Valetta and her minions.

"Roar--!"

Andares roared, and hundreds of evolved scorpion clones surged towards the remnants of the Dark Faction like a black tide.

It wielded its enormous pincers, its tail spiky stingers lashing out wildly, each attack landing precisely on the ranks of the men in black.

Suddenly, the members of the Dark Faction found themselves caught in a pincer movement.

In front were the elite of the Artemis Familia, and behind them were the enraged legions of monsters.

They were like turtles trapped in a jar, with no way to go to heaven or earth.

"puff!"

Valetta was so enraged by this sudden turn of events that she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She couldn't figure it out.

why?

Why would this monster help those people attack me?

However, in Andares's simple logic, it was these guys in black who attacked it first, blew it up, and then tried to steal its treasure.
