Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

"What kind of ability was that just now? Freedom of Law? Ugh, really, it would have been so much better if you had just let me kill you!" The mature, older woman's voice was full of complaints.

"Haha, if that's the case, you'll be out of a job, my dear Margery Doyo!" Marcusias laughed loudly at this.

"But that ability is really strange, ice in the form of flame? Could that be the power of the Noble Phantasm within this Mystice? What a mess of power."

In the short time it took to speak, Margery Daw's arm, which had been severed by Lin Yu's own hand, regenerated thanks to Lin Yu's power.

"Hey, are you kidding me? All the gains I risked my life for are gone just like that?" Lin Yu's lips twitched slightly. He thought that with the ability to control this ice flame, he could at least achieve some good results, but the other party recovered in the blink of an eye. How was he supposed to fight now?!

"That's not how it works. She just severed her own arm. Although it won't leave any serious injury, it will at least cause a huge drain on her energy!"

Upon hearing this, Alastor in his pendant form took the initiative to explain, showing none of the awkwardness he had shown before when Shana had asked him to continue fighting despite his safety.

Of course, Lin Yu also knew that this was not directed at him, but rather that in Alastor's eyes, the torch was indeed no different from a roadside stone.

"Perhaps we can talk?"

Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that a stalemate had finally been formed.

"Oh? Is there anything you want to talk about, young man?" Marcusias seemed quite interested, showing none of the anger he felt when his contractor was ambushed.

"Was this battle really unnecessary? Aren't you all aiming for the Crimson Lord? Whoever finds him first gets him, right?"

Lin Yu was also quite helpless. This world was full of people who could easily kill him, and he had to be careful when he spoke. The most important thing was that even he, an outsider, could see that Shana was no match for the eulogy singer in front of him. If he hadn't risked reminding her earlier, Shana would have been seriously injured if she had just blindly slashed the explosive pack.

On the other hand, aside from being tricked by him, the eulogy singer had almost completely dominated the battle. Although he was now slightly exhausted, and with his addition to Shana's side, the gap between the two sides seemed to have narrowed considerably. However, in the actual battle, Lin Yu's role was almost negligible.

After all, he was just an ordinary person before. Even with the somewhat overpowered power of ice flames, it wasn't easy for him to use it flexibly. In direct combat, he would hardly even have a chance to intervene.

"But I don't like having other hunters around when I'm hunting. Although I'm not worried about having my prey stolen, the feeling of being spied on is not pleasant."

Margery Dal would not be convinced by Lin Yu's two simple sentences, otherwise this battle would not have taken place.

“That’s right, I was here first, and the hunters will only be my prey!”

Before Lin Yu could even figure out how to deal with Margery Daw on the other side, Shana, who was clearly on his side, started to sabotage him.

"You little idiot, you have no right to speak!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and delivered a swift chop, this time rendering Xia Na's murderous gaze ineffective against him.

"You silly girl, you dared to cut down a phantom that was obviously problematic. If I hadn't reminded you, you might be badly injured by now."

Having finally gained the upper hand, Lin Yu glared at Shana without backing down, even leaving the eulogy singer, who was still the enemy at the moment, out in the cold.

"Why do I suddenly feel like if I keep arguing with these two idiots, I'll get infected with their irritation too?"

Margery Daw's lips twitched slightly as she deactivated the Flame Garment mode.

"Ha ha ha, aren't you? My dear fool, Margery Dow!"

boom!

Margery Daw punched Marcusias, who had turned into a beautifully bound book, and the talkative Marcusias instantly fell silent.

"Kid, if you cause trouble while I'm hunting, I won't let you off so easily next time!"

After glancing at the two of them, Margery Daw, for reasons unknown, actually chose to leave. She casually tossed the large, thick hardcover book into the air, where it floated. With a flourish, she stepped onto the book and left, uttering a single sentence before departing.

"Tsk tsk, I've heard of flying swords, but this is the first time I've seen a flying book. City people really know how to have fun."

Seeing that the crisis was finally over, his first task was finally completed, and he had even successfully controlled the icy blue flames, Lin Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Strange guy."

Shana muttered something under her breath, and even she didn't realize that after Lin Yu was safe, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Just as Lin Yu was about to take Xia Na home, he suddenly realized that the world in front of him had changed.

The dark red space was replaced by gray and white, and everything became forbidden, a feeling similar to sealing off but absolutely different.

"Shana!"

Lin Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively looked at Shana beside him. However, Shana had also turned gray and frozen in place. It seemed that only Lin Yu could continue to move in the entire world.

In the eerie space, only Lin Yu remained, gazing around blankly...

Today I organized the outline and all the drafts, and also confirmed the second world. I won't say what it is for now; I'll reveal it when this volume of Shakugan no Shana is almost finished. You can guess in the book review section! ^_^

016. Gaia and Alaya Figures

Are you satisfied with our gift?

In the gray and white space, a vibrant voice broke the eerie atmosphere, and Lin Yu's heart, which had been pounding, immediately settled down.

"Gaia, what are you up to now?!"

The only ones who could leave such a deep impression on Lin Yu with their lively voices and create such a space where even Shana was frozen in place without any resistance were probably those two truly ferocious lolis.

"Come on, don't get excited. Don't you know it's very rude not to look at the other person when you're talking?"

Gaia's voice rang in his ears again, and Lin Yu subconsciously retorted, "You guys aren't here, where am I supposed to watch over you... go..."

Lin Yu's eyes widened, and he looked on with a rare blank expression, staring incredulously at the two little ones in front of him.

"Hehe, because we were afraid you might accidentally get a game over, Ye-chan and I decided to have our clones keep an eye on you. How about that? There aren't many bosses as considerate as us!"

Gaia stood with her arms crossed, looking very proud, but the next second, a giant hand grabbed her whole body in its palm!

That's right! You didn't see it wrong! The little guy that Lin Yu was holding was almost identical to Gaia himself, except for the pair of delicate, cicada-wing-like wings that appeared on his back!

Well, aside from the fact that it has shrunk to a size that is not even the size of a palm.

"Ouch! Let go of Gaia! It hurts!"

The little guy struggled incessantly in Lin Yu's palm, flapping his little arms and legs, protesting Lin Yu's brutality with an indignant look.

"I told you not to get so close to him, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened!"

Alaya's slightly helpless voice rang out from the side. Lin Yu's eyes lit up as he looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, apart from having an extra pair of wings, a miniature Alaya was almost identical in size to the little Gaia that Lin Yu was holding. It was flapping its wings not far from Lin Yu.

"So cute! This is a lifelike, incredibly realistic figurine! I want one!"

Lin Yu pounced on them almost without thinking. It would be embarrassing for an otaku not to like figurines, and Lin Yu was no exception. Moreover, the attraction of cute lolis like Gaia and Alaya, who have near-perfect appearances, to a loli lover was unimaginable. Almost the moment he saw them, Lin Yu's collecting obsession was awakened.

"Hmph, I'm not as stupid as Gaia to let you catch me."

Alaya's tiny body nimbly evaded Lin Yu's grasp with a quick turn in the air. Lin Yu, whose collecting obsession had only recently awakened, wasn't about to give up easily. He waved his hand back and forth like he was catching a butterfly, while his poor other hand, holding Gaia, unconsciously tightened its grip. Gaia's little face puffed out in pain, and suddenly she opened her mouth...

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Little one, let go! It's broken! Oh crap, it's bleeding!"

Lin Yu loosened his grip on Gaia's hand, but the little guy seemed to want to take the opportunity to retaliate and refused to let go.

"You forced me to do this!"

Lin Yu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He raised his hand with a wicked grin and then frantically swung it up, down, left, right, and in all directions.

call out!

It didn't sway for long before a small figure flew out.

pat!

Before the little one landed, her best friend Alaya narrowly intercepted her from mid-air. The two little ones hugged each other, while Gaia, looking like she was dying, reached out and touched Alaya's little face.

"Waaaaah, Yay! I'm dying! Waaah, I don't want to die yet!"

"Waaah, Yaya, you can't leave! What will happen to everyone else if you leave?"

Lin Yu watched with twitching eyes as these two shameless little brats acted out a melodramatic love story as if no one else was around. It just felt so out of place.

"You two, that's enough! Ye-chan, don't you dislike being called by your nickname? Why are you calling it that yourself?"

"Isn't it because we can't do anything about Ya Ya? Rather than me being disgusted alone, we might as well hurt each other together, don't you think? Little Yu Yu?"

Alaya wore a dark smile, clearly tormented by the nickname "Ya-chan," and had even learned to hurt each other.

"So what exactly are you two trying to do?" Lin Yu sighed helplessly, he really had no way to deal with these two little devils. What if they were killed off if he was unhappy?

"Well, it's nothing, it's just to let you, Xiaoyuyu, enjoy the benefits of a regular employee."

Alaya flew onto Lin Yu's shoulder and put Gaia down from his hands. Gaia immediately flattened the wrinkled wings on Lin Yu's shoulder with a pained expression.

"What does the treatment of regular employees have to do with what you look like?"

Lin Yu looked at the two little ones wriggling on his shoulders with a look of utter despair. Heaven knows what these two little girls were thinking.

"Hmm, you can think of us as game assistants or game sprites!"

"Simply put, from now on, the release of tasks and the redemption of rewards will all be handled by us. As for the initial telepathic communication, it was too troublesome. We're not peeping tom, watching what you're doing all the time. So, Ya Ya and I decided to send a clone to follow you and update the tasks in real time, which can also serve as a supervisory function!"

Alaya spoke excitedly, but with each additional word, Lin Yu's expression grew increasingly grim.

"This is disrespectful to our employees! I protest! I'm going to sue you for copyright infringement!"

Lin Yu immediately jumped up in frustration. This was clearly a real-time monitoring scheme! How was he supposed to pick up girls... cough cough, no, I mean, complete the missions with these two experts around?!

Are you going to abandon her?

Alaya stared at Lin Yu with a pitiful look, her elfin appearance and pitiful eyes making her the epitome of someone who would make anyone sympathize. Even Lin Yu was swayed.

"No! Absolutely not!"

For the sake of a happy life in the future, Lin Yu relied on his firm will to reject the little thing's pitiful advances.

"Tch, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. I'm angry now, whether you agree or not!"

Alaya flapped its wings twice and flew to Lin Yu's front. Its beautiful face was furrowed, its slender arms were tucked into its sides, and it looked fierce, even though its small body was undeniably cute.

"So cute!"

Lin Yu swiftly grabbed the little sprite in front of him and rubbed it against his big face with all his might!

Lin Yu would never admit that he was taking the opportunity to retaliate. He only knew that he had been rubbing the little guy in his hands until his eyes were covered in mosquito coils. The poor little guy forgot to keep his distance for a moment. When she regained her freedom, she instinctively wanted to escape. As a result, she flew crookedly in the air for a couple of moments and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Shouldn't this be considered a flight accident?

[I worked the night shift last night and just woke up this early. It was terrifying. Any recommendations to calm my nerves?]

017. Ability Exchange!

"Hmm, so that means I have 1000 points now?"

After the commotion subsided, Lin Yu hadn't forgotten the truly important part. To him, the exact form these two little devils took was irrelevant. After all, Lin Yu didn't know when these two incredibly powerful lolis would be bored and spy on him. Rather than being spied on without realizing it, it was more worthwhile to be able to see and catch them now.

Well, the prerequisite is that you have to be able to catch it...

"That's right!"
