Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

The revolver fell limply to the ground; the hunter's hand, which had been gripping the gun, was severed, and what flew from it was...

"Ice? How could this be!"

The hunter's face was grim. Although Crimson World Disciples were different from ordinary people, the pain of a severed finger was not easy to bear, especially since the cut was covered with a layer of incredibly cold ice crystals!

"I remember you once said that this azure ring could withstand fire, right?"

"However, it seems it can't withstand the 'ice'!"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Shana, who had enough time to back away, looked in surprise in the direction from which the voice came.

"Lin Yu, are you alright?!"

A rare smile appeared on Shana's face, and it was a smile of relief.

"Of course I'm fine. If something happened to me, wouldn't you be sad, Shana?" Lin Yu gave Shana a big smile, clearly indicating that he was really alright.

"How is that possible? How could a Mistis survive such an explosion?!"

The hunter's voice was filled with disbelief. Logically speaking, a fragile torch should have had no chance of surviving, and even Shana would have been severely injured in that explosion.

"Who says it's impossible?"

Lin Yu appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inwardly he was genuinely relieved. If the hunters were to look behind Lin Yu now, they would see that his back was completely soaked with sweat.

He was caught off guard in the explosion, and used all the strength he could muster to protect Shana. He was taking a huge gamble, with his own life as the stake. Not only Shana, but even the two little ones on his shoulders were startled.

“My ice flames burn using the power of existence as fuel. I was thinking before that since all your attacks are constructed using the power of existence, using your attacks as fuel might be a good choice.”

Lin Yu desperately compressed the power of existence that the hunters used to attack, almost causing an even larger explosion than before. It could be said that if he had failed, he would have been blown to smithereens, which is why it took him so long.

Looking at the hunter with amusement, he continued, "Now it seems I've succeeded, and it looks quite effective. That block of ice that severed your finger was created using your attack. How does it feel to reap what you sow?"

Not only did Lin Yu verbally attack the hunter, but he also picked up the azure ring that had fallen from the ground when the hunter's finger was severed, and shamelessly put it on his own hand right in front of him...

Then he gave the hunter a provocative smile and stuck out his thumb... upside down!

Only a shameless guy like Lin Yu could do something so disgusting. Who else would have such a thick skin?

Lin Yu's series of actions infuriated the hunter to the point of near death, his handsome face contorted with rage. However, to Lin Yu's surprise, the expected fury did not materialize in the hunter. His expression gradually calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

"This is not a good situation!"

This time, it was Lin Yu's turn to get anxious and frustrated. He hadn't forgotten what the Hunters' ultimate goal was. That 'Eat the Capital' plan, which hadn't even been launched yet, was definitely not a good thing!

"Although it's still a little short, it doesn't matter."

The hunter held the doll in his arms with his severed hand, while his other, still intact right hand shook the small transparent bell in his hand. This time, he did not just shake it once.

Ding!

As the first bell rang, Lin Yu felt as if something had been activated.

Ding!

A second sound followed, and countless pale blue flames rose from the entire city, spreading throughout the city as if in some ritualistic manner.

"Stop him! I have a bad feeling about this!"

Lin Yu's expression was solemn. Ice flames burned in his hand, and an ice-blue longsword gradually took shape in his hand. This was a use of ice flames that he had just figured out on his own, which was to create ice crystals with extremely high hardness and extremely low temperature!

The ice blade used to ambush the hunter and sever his hand was made in this way.

He had only just grasped this use, so the longsword he created looked rather odd, but it would do when he was short of weapons. At least he was certain that his ice blade was much harder than ordinary steel!

Seeing Lin Yu's serious expression, Shana nodded and quickly launched an attack alongside him.

“My plan, our plan, will never be ruined by you. Mariannou and I are forever!”

The hunter's expression was somewhat crazed, and Lin Yu could feel a terrifying power surging through the city.

Ding!

The clear chime rang out once again, and the immense power of existence began to stir. Lin Yu knew that the 'Gourmet Food' was about to begin!

However, he and Shana still need to face the overwhelming light orbs. These light orbs may not cause too much damage, but they are definitely enough to buy time.

"Am I going to miss it? Damn it! Do I have to use all my power?"

The more existence power Lin Yu's ice flames burn, the stronger they become. If he were to create an extreme ice flame without holding back any existence power to maintain his own existence, he might have a chance to stop 'Du Shi', but the price would be Lin Yu's disappearance, the disappearance of his very existence!

Lin Yu glanced at Shana silently, then finally sighed. Although he valued his life, he cherished the hard-won relationship even more...

"Goodbye..."

Lin Yu didn't make a sound, but instead mouthed something to Shana, who was looking at him instinctively, and then gave a silly smile.

"No! What are you trying to do!"

Shana felt as if her heart had stopped beating, and an unprecedented panic gripped her. She was actually afraid, afraid of losing it.

Snapped!

A blue halo flashed by, and a soft sound stunned everyone.

"It's...broken?"

Lin Yu watched in disbelief as the transparent little bell in the hunter's hand shattered on the ground, and a somewhat annoyed voice came from above.

"Hey, hey, can you guys stop making it sound like a life-or-death situation?"

Margery Daw, who was an enemy when they last met, was flying in mid-air on a hardcover book. She smirked at Lin Yu and Shana, and then, amidst a burst of flames, donned the Flame Robe 'Toga' and transformed into the appearance of a giant bear.

"You managed to escape with that ring last time, let's see what you can do this time!"

Margery Daw fixed her gaze on the hunter as if she were eyeing her prey.

"We are perfect, we will attain eternity!"

The hunter's tone was somewhat melancholic. His grand plan had collapsed in an instant, and the restless power of existence had gradually subsided, yet he still refused to believe the fact of failure.

"Pathetic fellow!"

The giant bear opened its mouth, and thick, pale blue flames erupted, but were blocked by a small figure just before they hit the hunter.

"Master, may you be safe..."

The tiny doll, which had always been held in the hunter's arms, eventually turned to ashes for its master, while the hunter just stared blankly at it.

"He is indeed a pathetic guy, but we finally managed to cripple the BOSS, so we can't let someone else steal it."

Lin Yu had appeared behind the hunter without anyone noticing, and gently placed his hand on his shoulder. Ice-blue flames then blazed up, engulfing the hunter in the icy flames and freezing him completely, before turning him into countless ice shards...

[Today I received the first negative review for this book. Previously, my approach to those mindless bashing readers was to delete their reviews and permanently ban them. However, this review was clearly not something I criticized without even reading it. As an author, I can't satisfy every reader; I can only guarantee that every chapter and every word I write is written with care. There may be shortcomings, and I will continue to correct them. I hope all readers will offer their criticism and suggestions. Thank you!]

028. Post-war splendor

"Ding! Congratulations! Mission complete! You've been awarded 1000 points. You can only redeem these 3 times per world, so use them wisely!"

"We won..."

Gaia and Alaya were as noisy as ever in his ear. Lin Yu ignored them as usual and said with some emotion.

Lin Yu and Xia Na sat back to back. Only then did he realize that he had already overused his power of existence, with only a last wisp of flame remaining to burn.

"Xiaoyu." Shana called Lin Yu softly, perhaps without even realizing that her voice had become incredibly gentle and her address had become more intimate.

"Ok?"

Lin Yu turned his head slightly to look at the little girl behind him.

"Why did you risk your life to save me?"

Shana also turned her head, her star-like eyes meeting Lin Yu's with a puzzled look. At that time, they had both been attacked by the hunters, but Lin Yu used all his strength to protect her safety, while he himself was engulfed by the barrage of light. If it weren't for the characteristics of the ice flame, Lin Yu might have already turned into phosphorescent flames and disappeared.

"Let me think about it. Hmm, does not wanting to see the little loli get hurt in front of me count?" Lin Yu said with a teasing smile.

"really?"

Shana continued to stare at Lin Yu, her gaze softening instead of her usual sharpness, but her serious expression only increased the pressure on Lin Yu.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore. I don't even know why I did it back then. Maybe it was an instinct. Who told you to be so reckless? If I hadn't been there, I don't know how many times you would have gotten hurt."

As Lin Yu spoke, he became somewhat stern, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor, which startled Xia Na.

"Pfft!"

To be fair, Shana's smile is really beautiful; at least Lin Yu was stunned by it.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Lin Yu was a little confused.

"It's nothing, I was just laughing at you for acting like an idiot."

Looking at Shana's profile, Lin Yu suddenly realized that he seemed to have found the meaning of his existence that he had been searching for.

"That's great, I'm not alone anymore."

There was a time when he completely shut himself off. Although he would not belittle his hard-won life, he never went out again, rejecting everything in the real world.

"Yes, you will never be alone again, at least I will be with you." These somewhat ambiguous words were spoken with an extremely serious tone, clearly indicating that Shana was not just saying it casually, but truly meant it.

Shana didn't know why Lin Yu said that, but she didn't ask. She believed that if Lin Yu was willing, he would tell her himself. At this moment, Shana only did one thing: she gently held Lin Yu's hand, which was gradually becoming transparent.

"I've reached my limit. Can you grant me one wish?"

Lin Yu turned around and looked at Xia Na seriously.

"Okay, go ahead and say it."

Shana nodded slightly.

"Can I have a hug? I haven't felt a hug in a long time."

Lin Yu's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that Xia Na would refuse, but Xia Na's actions were the answer to him.

With her petite body nestled in Lin Yu's arms, Shana opened her arms and hugged him tightly. If one ignored her small stature, the two looked like a sweet couple.

Lin Yu gently rubbed Xia Na's head and leaned down to peck her forehead lightly.

See you tomorrow, Shana.

The touch on her forehead made Shana stiffen, but she immediately looked up in confusion, meeting Lin Yu's smiling face.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

As the clock struck midnight, Lin Yu's illusory body instantly returned to its original form.
