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

Another group dressed in white, though hiding nearby, at least didn't make a move.

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.

Let's kill these most annoying people first!

"Bastard! Bastard!"

Valetta was like a madwoman, wielding her twin swords and frantically slashing at the surrounding scorpions. But there were just too many scorpions, and she quickly became overwhelmed, sustaining several more wounds.

Lynn and Liu exchanged a glance, ignoring the scavengers.

Capture the bride and provoke the vinegar.

The two figures, like two arrows released from a bow, attacked Valetta from the left and right, respectively, from both sides!

Perched atop the cliff, Artemis watched the battle below with a satisfied smile on her face.

She gently tossed the frost-covered longsword, its special effects fully activated, toward Lynn.

The longsword drew a brilliant arc in the air and landed precisely on Lynn.

"Next, my Orion!"

Her voice reached Lynn's ears clearly.

"Use it to end this hunt!"

Lynn caught the flying longsword with his backhand, a familiar sensation coming from his palm.

He casually tucked the sword he had borrowed from Letesa back into his belt; in his hand lay this divine weapon, a dance of ice and fire.

This completely changed his demeanor.

"Ryu, to the left!"

He let out a low shout, and his entire body transformed into a burning streak of light, charging head-on towards Valetta.

Ryu's figure moved like a ghost, silently circling around to Valetta's right rear, his katana blocking all her escape routes.

"court death!"

Valetta was already frustrated by the attacks from the derivatives when she saw Lynn and Liu daring to take the initiative to attack. She roared and advanced instead of retreating.

She abandoned her defense and poured all her power into her twin swords, preparing to use her LV5 strength to instantly kill these two arrogant brats.

However, she seriously underestimated Lynn and Liu's strength.

Lynn's frost-covered longsword, burning with raging flames and carrying an unparalleled momentum, clashed fiercely with Valetta's longsword.

Clang—!

With a loud bang, Valetta felt an immense force surge from the sword, making her entire arm go numb.

How is that possible?

This man is incredibly strong?

In the instant she was shocked, Ryu's attack landed.

A cold, silvery glint, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, silently pierced her lower back.

Valetta was horrified. She forcibly twisted her body and used her other short sword to block backward.

Ding!

The short sword successfully blocked Ryu's kodachi, but this also exposed a fatal flaw in her.

Lynn had been waiting for this opportunity.

He suddenly activated the [Fire Control] spell, and a violent burst of flames erupted from beneath his feet. Using this force, his body instantly pressed against Valetta's arms at an incredible angle.

"Goodbye, Emperor Killer."

Lynn's voice, like the whisper of a demon, rang in Valetta's ears.

He swung his ice crystal longsword upwards, aiming fiercely at Valeta's abdomen.

If that sword strike landed squarely, it would be enough to rip her open.

In a life-or-death situation, Valetta demonstrated the decisiveness and ruthlessness she would show as a Level 5 adventurer.

She didn't choose to block because it was too late.

She made a choice that no one expected.

She released her grip on the twin swords, letting Lynn's blade slice across her abdomen, tearing away a large patch of flesh and blood.

At the same time, she used her free hands to grab the tail of a derivative scorpion next to her and slammed the monster hard towards Lynn and Liu with all her might!

Taking advantage of this opening, she fell backward as if she had no bones, fleeing towards the edge of the valley without looking back.

"Want to run?"

Lynn kicked away the scorpion that was thrown at him and was about to give chase.

But Valeta was too fast; in just a few leaps, she disappeared into the shadows of the dense forest.

She didn't even care about the remaining subordinates who were still struggling.

"Lynn, should we go after them?"

Instead of immediately giving chase, Liu asked Lynn for advice.

Lynn shook his head; "Don't pursue a cornered enemy, and Valeta is badly injured, so he shouldn't cause us any trouble."

Moreover, there is an even more important prey that needs to be dealt with.

With Valetta's escape, the remaining members of the Dark Faction completely lost their will to fight and were quickly wiped out by the combined forces of the Artemis Familia and the Monster Legion.

In the deep pit, only Lynn and his companions remained, along with the lone giant scorpion, Andares.

Andares's countless compound eyes were fixed intently on Lynn and his group.

It slowly raised its huge clamps, emitting a defiant hiss.

"Everyone, obey my command!"

Lynn's voice broke the silence, clear and powerful, reaching the ears of everyone present.

Lessa snapped back to reality, and the girls behind her gripped their weapons tightly, staring intently at Lynn.

At that moment, no one doubted his authority.

Lynn didn't even turn around to look at them; his gaze remained fixed on Andares in the distance.

"Letesha!"

"Here!" Lethesa straightened her back instinctively, her voice ringing out.

"You and your melee squad are the first line of defense, but your target is not Andares!"

This statement stunned everyone.

Lynn continued;

“Andares will summon derivatives; those little scorpions will evolve and adapt to our last attack. So, your task is to control! To divide the battlefield!”

He stretched out his finger and made a vague gesture in the air.

"Once the derivatives appear, you will immediately form a circular formation and use shields and heavy weapons to block, repel, and charge! Don't think about killing them with one blow. What you need to do is to pin them down in place, prevent them from getting close to the back row, and prevent them from interfering with me and Ryu!"

0...Requesting flowers...0

Lessa understood instantly.

This is using their most proficient positional warfare to counter the enemy's most troublesome human wave tactics!

"Understood!" She nodded emphatically, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Lantie! Flora!" Lynn continued to order, "Your distant flanks, also abandon any fatal attacks on Andares' main body!"

"Its carapace has extremely high magic resistance, so your attacks will only deal limited damage, but they are not entirely useless!"

“Your target is its eyes! Its mouthparts! All its seemingly fragile sensory organs!”

A smile appeared on Lynn's lips;

......... 0

“I don’t need you to do much damage to it, I want you to… enrage it! Harass it! Make it dizzy! Make its ears ring! Make it lose its accurate judgment! With your arrows and magic, give it a never-ending ‘rain’!”

"Yes!" the archers and mages responded in unison, their gazes toward Lynn now filled with fervent worship, a stark contrast to their previous belief.

This man made the most of each of their roles!

“Liu.” Lynn’s tone softened slightly.

"Hmm." Liu's figure had already sank slightly, ready to charge at any moment.

“You are a ghost on the battlefield,” Lynn said. “Your speed is your greatest advantage. Circle around it, attack its leg joints. You don’t need to inflict serious damage, just keep it running around and unable to stand steadily, creating attack windows for me.”

"Okay." Liu's answer was only one word, but it carried immense weight.

"As for me..."

Lynn took a step forward, and the ice crystal longsword in his hand, burning with orange flames, emitted a clear and melodious hum.

"I can fly, which is an advantage in air combat, so I am the weapon to end it."

His gaze swept over everyone.

"Do you all understand? This is a meticulously planned hunt, not a chaotic free-for-all. Follow orders, trust your comrades, and we will win!"

"Yes!!!"

The deafening response echoed through the valley.

Artemis stood on the cliff, looking down at the confident and commanding man below, and laughed proudly.

This is her Orion.

A real leader's scarf.

"Roar--!!!"

Andares seemed to sense the anger of being slighted, and it plunged its tail into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

rustling --

Hundreds of smaller, darker-colored derivatives emerged from the soil!

They evolved!

This time, their outer shells were covered with a protective shield against flames and explosives, clearly drawing on their previous experience fighting Valetta's forces.

"Now! Proceed according to plan!"

Lethesa roared and was the first to raise her shield.

"Form a circular shield formation! Hold on!"

"Haa!"

The melee girls let out a delicate shout and instantly formed an indestructible steel bulwark, precisely meeting the black scorpion tide head-on.

"Clang clang clang!"

The derivative's claws struck the shield, producing a series of dense metallic clanging sounds, but they couldn't shake the formation in the slightest.

At the same time!

"put!"

At Lanti's command, dozens of arrows and various spells, like dazzling fireworks, passed over the shield array in front and accurately covered Andares's head area.

Puff puff!

These attacks did not break through Andares' defenses, but they did manage to enrage it.

Countless compound eyes were hit by arrows. Although it did not go blind, the intense pain and interference made its vision chaotic.

It opened its mouth to roar, but an ice bullet hit it precisely, freezing it so that its hiss became distorted.

"Roar... Hiss!"
