With one hand tightly gripping the still-standing wall, and the other hand grabbing Shana who was also falling, Lin Yu turned his head and launched into a tirade against Margery Daw, who was also hanging from a protruding steel bar not far away. Although she had the ability to fly, she was unable to do so due to excessive consumption of her existence power and could only hang there like Lin Yu and the others.

Holy crap!

Under Lin Yu's profanity, the wall he was clinging to shattered completely, and a second before he fell, he forcefully threw Shana up onto it.

"May Amitabha Buddha protect me, lest I become the first time traveler in history to fall to my death!"

Lin Yu clasped his hands together and made the sign of the cross on his chest. Heaven knows what kind of prayer this was, but he was just grasping at straws in his desperation.

But what made him even more furious was yet to come.

"Silly Na, why did you jump down after you went up there?! Meow, if you come down too, then we won't even have anyone to collect the body? By the way, is there any body left after Mysteria died?"

Heaven knows why Lin Yu was thinking so many random things before he died. Anyway, Xia Na, who jumped down and hugged him, almost threw him off because her hand trembled.

"No way! No way! No way! Hold me tight and don't say a word!"

Shana raised her eyebrows and plunged the Zanpakuto in her hand into the wall, finally stopping its downward trajectory after a long while.

"Oh, alright."

After being scolded by Shana, Lin Yu awkwardly agreed and then climbed up Shana's legs. Heaven knows, he really didn't know why he felt such amazing softness when he was climbing up, so much so that he subconsciously squeezed it a couple of times.

"Pervert! Where are you touching?!"

Sensing Lin Yu's actions, Shana blushed instantly and shouted sternly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Lin Yu could swear that it was really just a subconscious action. Simply grabbing onto Xia Na's clothes was obviously not enough to keep his body from falling. The action he just took was really just a subconscious one.

After much effort, Lin Yu finally managed to wrap his arms around Xia Na's neck. However, their current posture and state were even more problematic, as Lin Yu's head was almost completely buried in Xia Na's chest!

Don't be fooled by Shana's seemingly flat chest; Lin Yu, who has actually experienced it firsthand, can confidently say that even a flat-chested girl's chest is still soft!

Feeling the soft touch on his face, Lin Yu could even hear Shana's heartbeat. Although he always considered himself a gentleman, he was actually a complete novice with no experience. In fact, his own body was stiff.

"Hey, don't ignore me when you're flirting!"

Margery Doll, who was below them, couldn't stand it any longer and started blasting light orbs at the two of them.

"Tch! At least there's 'Azure'."

By activating the fire-resistant barrier, Margery Daw's attacks posed little threat to them. Their only effect was to break the somewhat tense atmosphere between the two. However, it's quite peculiar that such an atmosphere could arise during such an intense battle.

"Bye-Bye!"

The brief pause allowed Margery Daw to regain some of her strength. She put on her Flame Robe again, ignored Shana and Lin Yu, and flew straight to the rooftop to find Rami.

"Xiaoyu, let's remove the barrier, otherwise the flames can't be used!" Shana said earnestly to Lin Yu, looking down at him.

Although he didn't understand what Shana was trying to do, Lin Yu obeyed Shana's decisions unconditionally, which was perhaps a tacit understanding between the two.

Lin Yu removed the fire-avoidance barrier, and Shana even pulled the Nite Palace Shana directly out of the wall, causing the two of them to freefall once again.

"Anything!" Her body plummeted rapidly; such a fall would severely injure even a Flame Haze, but Shana showed no fear: "I can do it!"

Flames of crimson erupted from behind Shana, and to Lin Yu's astonishment, a pair of dazzling wings suddenly unfurled behind Shana!

"Wings of Flame? How beautiful!"

Slightly lost in thought, Lin Yu murmured unconsciously. The feeling of flying through the air with Shana in his arms was too dreamlike. The beautiful red-haired girl and the wings formed by the red lotus fire made Shana look like an angel at this moment.

Shana, who had just taken flight, was still having some trouble controlling herself, but with her rich combat experience, she quickly mastered her new ability. With a slight flap of her Crimson Wings, the two flew toward the rooftop.

When the two, who were a step too late, finally reached the rooftop, an unexpected scene unfolded before their eyes...

034. The Invisible Hand

[Thanks to '风林渐远' and '北冥有喵' for the generous donations!]

"What is this, a new Crimson Denizen?"

Lin Yu released his hands from Shana's neck, landed on the ground, and solemnly looked at the enormous creature in front of him.

"Lion mane, rhinoceros horn, eagle claws, bat wings, and a snake tail—is this monster a hodgepodge of animals?"

Lin Yu stared at the enormous creature, which resembled a mythical beast, his lips twitching, utterly speechless.

"Wait, it's holding the eulogy singer in its claws!"

Shana was speechless at Lin Yu's focus, but following his words, she glanced at the enormous monster and discovered that Margery Daw, who had been an enemy not long ago, was being held in its grasp.

"One of the three pillars of the 'Masquerade Ball,' the powerful Crimson Lord known as 'General' Shudenan!"

Rami, who had been observing the battle from the sidelines, had somehow walked up to Lin Yu and Shana, his expression more solemn than ever before.

"Look, look! It's the Lord of the Ninja! The Lord of the Ninja is over there!"

Just as the group was still surprised by Xiu Denan's identity, a faint exclamation suddenly rang out, like a child who had found his beloved toy.

"Yes, that's right, brother."

Looking around, a pair of loli and shota with the same golden hair are snuggling together. It is worth mentioning that the little girl called Tilialu calls the other brother, but the first impression is that she is the older sister.

Most importantly, the two look like siblings, but they are as close as a couple!

"Are they also Crimson Denizens? How come so many Crimson Denizens and Flame Hazes have suddenly appeared in this city? Aren't they supposed to be beings related to the Crimson Denizens, something that ordinary people rarely encounter even once in their lifetime?"

Cold sweat poured down Lin Yu's forehead. Although he had only been in this world for a short time, his ability to sense things had improved rapidly after several major battles. Even before they had fought, the astonishing power of their opponents was enough to demonstrate their strength.

“‘Aizenji’ Surat and ‘Aizenta’ Tiliaru are both relatively low-key but powerful Crimson Lords. This is troublesome.”

Rami stared at the immense power of existence he had collected in his hand. He had a long-cherished wish that required an extremely large amount of power of existence to fulfill, but even the strength of the eulogy chanter was defeated in an instant. The current situation probably did not allow him to continue to hold back.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll get the Nite-dono Shōna for you right away. But before that, we can't let our hard-won prey escape. We'll use our garden."

'Ai Ran Ta' Tilia smiled elegantly, but her eyes showed utter disdain. The next second, the dark red flame-like seal centered on them was replaced by pale gold, and countless vines broke through the hard ground as if they had come to life.

Lin Yu and Shana glanced at Shudnan, who had captured Margery Daw, and at the brother and sister standing on the vines before them. They exchanged a look; their understanding had somehow reached a point where they could understand each other without saying a word. After nodding slightly to each other, they each faced their own opponents…

"How pathetic, beautiful killer."

The enormous creature spoke to its prey in a mocking tone.

"Thousand Changes—Shudenan! What are you doing here?!"

Margery Daw, having removed her Flame Robe, frowned deeply. Her opponent was someone she could hardly defeat even in her prime, let alone after just fighting a tough battle with Lin Yu and Shana. She was lucky to have one-fifth of her strength remaining.

"Oh dear, I was just accompanying my two employees to look for something, but I didn't expect to run into you like this."

The enormous monster mocked its prey in a playful tone, then turned its gaze to Lin Yu and Xia Na.

“That’s truly unfortunate.” Margery Daw’s voice sounded neither bitter nor helpless, but there was no resistance whatsoever.

"What a pity, the eulogy singer, how weak, how sad, we can only let you leave the stage first."

As he spoke, Shudnan prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Margery Daw, who had given up struggling, but an icy blue flame attacked it before that could happen.

"Oh? Where did these little ants come from?"

Turning his head to glance at the ice flame, Xiudenan opened his mouth and spat out a purple flame, easily neutralizing it.

"Hey, don't give up so easily!" Lin Yu's voice rang out loudly: "Although I don't know what exactly happened to you in the past, think back carefully. Isn't there anyone or anything worth cherishing? You can't live in the past forever, you idiot!"

A flash of icy blue light appeared, and Lin Yu raised his massive ice sword to strike Xiu Denan, but the latter easily dodged it and delivered a breath attack to him.

"Oh? Able to move within the sealed area, is that Mystice? And possessing such a strange power."

Xiu Denan's tone was somewhat curious, but that was all. On the contrary, Margery Daw, who had been resigned to her death, finally opened her eyes. There seemed to be something new in her eyes, which had become indifferent to everything.

"That's all there is to it. Let's end things with you for now."

Ignoring Lin Yu, who was engulfed in flames, Xiu Denan slammed the Margery Doll in his hand into a building, and the entire building collapsed in the next moment due to the violent explosion.

"Tch, damn it, how about taking another one of my moves?"

Lin Yu, who had just escaped the flames, witnessed the moment Margery Daw was struck by Shudnan. Anger surged into his heart. Regardless of whether she had been Lin Yu's enemy before, she had once saved his life. It was no wonder that Lin Yu felt angry that his savior had been killed in front of him.

Unfortunately, although he possessed the fire-avoiding ring 'Azure' and his ice flames could be fueled by the power of existence, it would take a certain amount of time to convert the ice flames into power by using enemy attacks. Furthermore, the Eye of Calamity could only see one second into the future. Once his vision was enveloped by flames, even the power of the Eye of Calamity had no idea what would happen next.

This is precisely why Lin Yu was unable to rescue Marjorie Dolce in time.

A giant ice crystal sword, several times larger than before, took shape in Lin Yu's hands. Lin Yu wielded the ice crystal sword and slashed at Xiu Denan without mercy.

"Hmph, you underestimate me too much."

Xiu Denan swung his body, his powerful snake tail whipping out and sweeping towards Lin Yu. Faced with the swift attack, Lin Yu smiled, released his grip on the giant sword, and charged forward recklessly, closing in on Xiu Denan's body.

"Gotcha!"

Lin Yu's tiny hand touched Xiu Denan's massive body, but he spoke as if the roles had been reversed. The next second, icy blue flames erupted...

"The original trajectory has been changed!"

Having somehow left Lin Yu's shoulder, Gaia and Alaya, the two little ones, were now watching the battlefield from above like bystanders.

"Hmm, it seems those guys finally couldn't resist making a move. This should only be considered an appetizer."

"Definitely, but we don't know what they'll do next. They can't really put Xiaoyu in a deadly situation, can they?"

Gaia's eyes were filled with worry, a stark contrast to her usual energetic demeanor in front of Lin Yu.

"Don't worry, they won't." Alaya took Gaia's hand. "After all, their ultimate target is us..."

[The plot is starting to get into the main storyline. If this crossover novel were written exactly like the original work, I doubt anyone would be able to get into it, so many other elements will be added. Please look forward to the details!]

035. Execute? Resurrect!

"Nice to meet you. This is my brother, 'Aizenji' Surat. I am 'Aizenta' Tiliaru. May I ask which 'king' you are your contractor?"

'Aizome no' Tiliaru, judging solely from her tone, is practically the perfect young lady, but she always clings tightly to her brother 'Aizome no Surato,' which gives off a rather unpleasant feeling.

"I am Shana, the Flame Haze of Alastor, the 'Fire of Heaven and Earth', the 'Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer'!"

Although she had just experienced a great battle, Shana could feel that she was still at her peak condition, unlike any other. She felt no weakness after the battle, and even had the illusion that she would never get tired.

"The Heavenly Calamity Fire? What an old name. Well, it doesn't really matter. I was just playing around with you anyway."

Her noble tone was filled with undisguised contempt. Unlike Surat, who was somewhat dull and like a puppet, Tilialu spoke to Shana from the very beginning with an attitude of looking down on her.

"By the way? How arrogant of you!"
