Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

Such leisurely days didn't last long. After all, everyone except Kuroko was a member of the Empire's assassination squad. After their initial mission, they would naturally have to serve the Empire officially, which was the duty of the assassination squad.

"Oh? Come to think of it, I really didn't know what kind of missions the assassination squad usually had. This is a good opportunity to see for myself. You don't mind if I bring Kurohime along, do you?"

Lin Yu said to Goziqi with a smile.

"It's already a huge surprise that Lord Lin Yu is willing to help."

Gozchi narrowed his eyes as always. He never feared any enemy. He couldn't see through Lin Yu's strength, but that didn't mean he thought he was weaker than Lin Yu. After all, his Imperial Arm was Murasame, which could kill with a single strike. In his opinion, even if Lin Yu was struck, he would surely die!

Because of this mindset, Gozchi didn't have the same level of awe for Lin Yu as he appeared. However, given that Lin Yu's strength was indeed a guarantee for the mission, he had no reason to refuse Lin Yu.

"Then let's set off. Our objective this time is to cut off the rebels' funding!"

In the northeastern part of the empire, on the White Wave River, a fleet of ships sailed on the wide river. It appeared to be a fleet of merchant ships, but there was no cargo on board. Instead, there were mercenaries hired by the rebels, and... assassins!

"Hey! A ship is approaching!"

The location of Bailang River is quite remote, and you often don't see a boat for several days. In such an environment, if you happen to meet someone on a narrow road, anyone can tell that something is wrong.

"Get your guns ready."

The mercenaries on the ship were originally hired by the rebels to fight against the Empire's assassination squad, so they were well-prepared. However, when the small boat approached, they discovered something strange.

Is nobody here?

An unfamiliar voice came from behind. The mercenaries standing on the deck were quite well-trained. They did not panic in this situation and turned around abruptly to prepare to attack. If it were an ordinary enemy, it would be difficult to launch a successful sneak attack. However, this time they were facing the Empire's most elite group of assassins.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The three swords, so swift that they had no time to react, swung past their vital points and instantly took their lives.

"As expected of an assassin carefully trained by the empire, their strength is truly not to be underestimated."

In the sky, Lin Yu flapped his icy blue fiery wings and followed behind a low-level dangerous species called Giant Owl. Although his gaze was focused on the fleet below, he also kept a close eye on the giant bird. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the giant bird was a little too human-like.

If I remember correctly, although this dangerous species is very neurotic and extremely dislikes humans, it shouldn't panic and try to fly away as soon as someone approaches.

"A human turned into a beast? Could it be such a coincidence?"

After much deliberation, Lin Yu realized that there seemed to be only one person with this ability, and that person was a character he greatly admired in the original work.

"I never expected to run into Chelsea here. If it really is her, then the old woman and the girl downstairs must be her deceased companions from the original story, right? It's unbelievable that we'd meet here."

In the original work, Chelsea died a very tragic death. Because she had experienced the loss of all her companions, she always adhered to the principles of an assassin. However, after falling in love with Tatsumi, she became too stubborn and wanted to prove herself. As a result, she was killed when she tried to assassinate Kurome. When Lin Yu saw Chelsea's ending, he even sent the author a ton of razor blades.

Don't ask why he could send razor blades to Japanese authors from China. There's a saying in this world: money makes the world go round. As long as you're willing to spend money, let alone razor blades, you could probably send TNT!

Just as Lin Yu had guessed, Chelsea, who had no combat ability, was assigned a reconnaissance mission from the beginning. Their voyage was actually a decoy operation to gather information on the Imperial Assassination Force. For a special force like the Assassination Force that operates in the shadows, even knowing their appearance would put them at a huge disadvantage. However, Chelsea never expected that she would be targeted by Lin Yu, a 'lunatic' who also had the ability to fly, just as she was preparing to retreat after completing her reconnaissance.

Well, in Chelsea's opinion, Lin Yu, who would follow a dangerous creature around, is definitely a complete lunatic, no doubt about it.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't really believe it before, but it turns out there really are Imperial Arms that can transform. What a dangerous ability!"

Although Lin Yu didn't intend to do anything to Chelsea, teasing this girl he was meeting for the first time was a good option.

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Chelsea forgot to flap her wings and almost fell headlong from the sky. She now understood that the person who had been following her was not a lunatic, but someone with discerning eyes!

[Kuromega and Akame are yuri sisters! I originally thought they were just close sisters (√), but it turns out they were actually yuri before Akame betrayed them? I only found out this when I watched Akame ga Kill! Zero. Yuri sisters, right? Tentacle fanservice, right? --Yes! Akame ga Kill! Zero is basically watchable as a lesbian anime! It's so dirty I can't bear to watch it.]

249. Playing around [Two-in-one]

"Should I ask you to come down, or will you come down yourself?"

Lin Yu leisurely followed beside Chelsea, who had transformed into a giant owl. Chelsea silently increased her flying speed, but to her dismay, the distance between her and Lin Yu remained unchanged. This made Chelsea completely give up on escaping, and she had no choice but to obediently fly towards the other side of the river. She still held onto a last glimmer of hope that her companions would notice the abnormality and come to her aid in time. Therefore, she chose to land at the agreed rendezvous point!

"Since you didn't attack me from the air, you must be the type that can't fight head-on, right? Deactivate your transformation and let me see what you look like."

Lin Yu crossed his arms. He was well aware of Chelsea's plan, but he didn't intend to expose it. He had only intended to tease this weak girl and had no intention of taking her back.

Bang!

A mysterious smoke rose the moment the transformation ended, but what appeared before Lin Yu was not the Chelsea he remembered, but the image of an unfamiliar girl.

"Is this your true form? Tsk tsk, you're clearly a pretty girl, yet you can transform into a dangerous species. That's quite an amazing ability."

Lin Yu pretended not to have seen through her act. Since he was going to tease this girl, he had to make it look real.

"Um... I was only helping the rebels gather intelligence because they coerced me. This is my first mission. Can you let me go?"

Chelsea put on a pitiful expression, which, combined with her appearance created using Gaia Foundation, made her incredibly alluring to males.

Unfortunately, Chelsea's only miscalculation was that she had no idea that Lin Yu was a die-hard lolicon who would never waver even if the world were to end. If she had transformed into a loli, Lin Yu might have taken the bait, but her current girlish appearance held little appeal for him.

"You're kidding me!"

Lin Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't believe a single punctuation mark. Lin Yu's appearance made Chelsea even more frantic. Her back was soaked with cold sweat. She was the type who had absolutely no fighting ability. Now she was caught by such an enemy who looked extremely powerful. It was an absolute crisis!

"Really, please believe me!"

When playing the victim didn't work, Chelsea gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, immediately launching a coquettish offensive. Ignoring the fact that Lin Yu was still her enemy, she grabbed Lin Yu's arm and started swinging it around.

"Hmm, I see. Well, it's not impossible."

Lin Yu rested his chin on his left hand, which wasn't being held, and looked thoughtful, while his gaze swept over the unfamiliar girl Chelsea had transformed into.

"Right? Right? They really are innocent."

Chelsea has a cunning personality, and her sweet, coquettish way of speaking gives even herself goosebumps, but there's no other way; to survive, it's better to make a sacrifice for now.

"However..."

Lin Yu chuckled twice, then lifted Chelsea's chin with his hand. The moment his fingers touched Chelsea's skin, the unfortunate girl felt a chill run down her spine.

"Oh no, could this guy have fallen for the girl I've transformed into?! Ahhh, what do I do?! Instructor, Taeko, hurry up and get here!!!"

Chelsea was internally screaming, but on the surface he had to force a smile to face Lin Yu, his lips twitching incessantly.

"If you're willing to do this or that with me, maybe I can let you go!"

Lin Yu maintained a warm smile, but Chelsea saw it as a lewd smile. If she could, she would love to kill him, but alas, she was just a weakling.

"What...what is this...what kind of thing is this?"

As Lin Yu continued to approach, Chelsea loosened his grip on her arms and slowly retreated, his forced smile almost cramping up.

"It's just... to let you experience it..."

call out!

Just when Chelsea had nowhere left to retreat, a sharp whooshing sound came from the side.

"Oh no, danger!"

Lin Yu did not block the flying blade; he easily dodged it by stepping back to the side, focusing all his attention on the next attack.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The continuous, intense impacts gave Chelsea the opportunity to quickly run away from Lin Yu.

"As expected of Barbara from the assassination society, she managed to create distance before I could even retaliate."

With his arms crossed over his chest, Lin Yu made no attempt to dodge. Every attack launched from a tricky angle was blocked by the ice crystals just before it hit Lin Yu. No matter how fast the attack was, it could not break through the ice crystals' defense!

He turned around and saw an oddly dressed old woman looking at him with a solemn expression.

"I have assassinated countless important figures in my life. Although I have also failed, you are the first person who can easily withstand my attacks."

Barbara Oberg, a top fighter in the assassination society, has completed countless assassination missions and can be said to be the most outstanding among all assassins. Although she is nearly seventy years old, she fights like a storm. After her initiative was completely resisted by Lin Yu, she decisively created distance. It should be noted that Lin Yu originally planned to launch a slight counterattack.

Over the past few years, Lin Yu has not stood still; his ability to withstand Barbara's attacks is one of his greatest gains!

"It's just a small trick; there are many, many other ways to use the same ability."

Lin Yu smiled. When Barbara launched her attack, he didn't actually take any initiative to defend himself. The ice crystals that blocked the fatal attack were generated on their own!

As Lin Yu said, this ability is actually just a way of using ice flames. Because of the characteristics of ice flames, they are very sensitive to moisture in the air, and not only water, but also liquefied air. To some extent, Lin Yu can also indirectly control the air.

The principle behind this ability is actually quite simple. Lin Yu simply makes the air condense into ice crystals when it encounters an object moving too fast. Barbara's attacks are incredibly swift, but no matter how she attacks, even if she can cut through the air, she still has to overcome the obstruction of the air. This process of thrusting out causes the ice crystals to condense, and Lin Yu uses this to resist her attacks.

Of course, this ability is not only effective against attacks such as swords and blades. Whether it is a fist or a foot, as long as the speed reaches a certain level, ice crystals will be generated naturally. During this process, the only thing Lin Yu needs to do is not to limit the consumption of his existence power. Ordinary ice cannot resist attacks, but ice crystals constructed by Lin Yu's existence power are different.

Lin Yu had tested this ability many times, but this was the first time he had used it in actual combat, and it seemed to be working well!

Turning around, Lin Yu's smile remained, but the sinister aura he had shown when looking at Chelsea was gone.

Anyone with eyesight and a brain that isn't completely dead could tell from Lin Yu's posture that his previous teasing was intentional. Chelsea's heart was pounding. Anyone who wasn't stupid could tell who was stronger between the calm and collected Lin Yu and Barbara, who had used all her strength but still couldn't make her move.

"It seems I'm going to be defeated here today."

Barbara's wrinkled face showed a helpless expression. She had given her all in the previous attack, but she couldn't hurt the opponent at all. Chelsea, who was supposed to be the most survivable team when transformed into a giant owl, had been caught, which meant that escape was unlikely.

"While it's good to be self-aware, it just makes things a bit boring."

Lin Yu shrugged, looking bored, but then a wicked plan popped into his head again.

"How about this, I'll stand here and not move. If you can force me to move, I'll let you go, okay?"

Lin Yu's strength already surpasses that of the vast majority of people in this world. Apart from Esdeath, he is confident that he can even defeat Bud, let alone an old woman.

Despite the incredibly tempting offer, neither Chelsea nor Barbara showed any joy. After all, Barbara had already launched an attack once before, and that sneak attack hadn't even made Lin Yu move an inch, let alone a direct attack now.

"Tch, you won't even take such a good offer? You guys are really cowards." Lin Yu curled his lip. "Well then, I'll stay here and not move. If you can escape my attack range, I'll let you go. How about that? Is that a good enough offer?"

Barbara was slightly taken aback. Although she knew she was no match for Lin Yu, she was worried that if Lin Yu stood still and let her escape...

Is there any suspense left?

As for Chelsea, she only had one thought in her mind right now: to get as far away from Lin Yu as possible!

"Although we are enemies, I still hope you can keep your promise."

Barbara frowned, unable to understand Lin Yu's meaning. However, it would be best to retreat now. She didn't think she had much of a chance in a head-on fight, but she was very confident in a well-prepared assassination. Being able to withstand a blade didn't mean she could withstand poison!

There are countless methods of assassination; Barbara has no shortage of assassination techniques!

"Of course, since you put it that way, you must agree, right?"

Lin Yu still had a smile on his face, although the smile looked malicious no matter how you looked at it.

"Yes, Chelsea!"

Barbara shouted and pulled Chelsea away, running off into the distance. She knew very well how poor Chelsea's stamina was; pulling her was practically supporting her, as Chelsea's feet barely touched the ground.

"Since they jumped the gun, let's give them a little punishment!"

A misty chill swirled around Lin Yu, covering the entire jungle at an incredible speed. Under Lin Yu's deliberate manipulation, the chill covered the ground of the jungle with a smooth, icy surface!

"Incredible, it's incredible that such a large area of ​​ground could be frozen to this extent."
