Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

Surprisingly, although they were traveling on vines, their speed was no less than that of Shana flying in the sky, and they always hung behind Shana.

"Is this it?!"

As Shana drew closer to the source of power she sensed, what appeared before her was an astonishingly large golden flower, to which a vast amount of existential energy was being channeled through the vines.

Shana raised the Nite-dono Shana in her hand, the crimson flames coiling around the sword like fire serpents. Just as she was about to destroy the giant flower in one go, she suddenly remembered Lin Yu's intervention when she was fighting Margery Daw.

At that time, she had destroyed all the illusions created by Margery Daw and was preparing to attack the last illusion. If it weren't for Lin Yu's reminder, she might have slashed a bomb!

"No! Something's not right! This flower may possess immense power, but its source must be something else. This is a trap!"

With her true self established, Shana's observation and judgment abilities grew in tandem with her strength. Recalling the situation, she quickly identified the problem without any distractions.

"Too easy! If this really is the source of the supply, it's an absolute vital point for them, no less than their heart. They wouldn't be so defenseless, waiting for me to destroy it!"

With a slight turn of her head, Shana saw that Tilia and Surat were standing not far away as if nothing had happened, showing no intention of stopping her. This detail instantly confirmed Shana's doubts.

“That makes sense, proceed with caution,” Alastor agreed.

"Thank goodness we didn't attack rashly!"

Such a massive trap posed a great threat even to her; if this sword were to strike, she would likely suffer at least severe injury.

Ignoring the unsuspecting supply source below, Shana was about to turn around and say something to Tiliaru and Surat when an invisible flame drifted onto her and disappeared as Shana's attention was diverted.

Whoosh!

Something intangible and intangible seemed to suddenly ignite within Shana, abruptly changing her previously composed demeanor.

"It's just a broken flower, isn't it?"

Shana, who had been calm, suddenly changed her expression, and an unprecedented arrogance appeared on her delicate face.

"Then let's destroy it!"

The flames surged once more, and Shana, who had already convinced that the flower was a trap, raised the Nie-dono Shana in her hand again.

"Shana! What's wrong?!" Alastor cried out anxiously.

As the person who knows Shana best, how could he not see Shana's abnormality?

But at this moment, Shana completely ignored Alastor, who was like a father to her, and stubbornly swung out the Nie-dono Shana in her hand. The full force of the attack destroyed the golden flower below. As expected, a huge power of existence surged out and, under the effect of the pre-arranged Free Power, firmly imprisoned Shana in mid-air. She endured the pain and turned her gaze to a certain place.

There, Shana seemed to see a mocking sneer on the face of someone who had been hiding in the shadows all along…

039. Narrow Victory

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Four vines tightly bound Shana's limbs, and Shana, severely injured, clenched her teeth.

"Why? That feeling just now!"

Even though she had already discovered the trap and decided to find the real source of supply, just now, an indescribable feeling clouded Shana's mind, causing her to knowingly step into the trap.

"Wow, Tilialu, you caught her!" Surat said excitedly.

"Of course, brother, Flame Haze are stupid. They can't even see such an obvious trap. These are the phosphorus 'pinions' that make up Cradle Garden. If you destroy one, it will bloom again."

Tilia held Surat's arm tightly, the two of them clinging together without any gap, and explained as if with pity.

Is that all?

The almost arrogant voice rang out abruptly, stunning not only Tiliaru and Surat, but also Shana, who spoke the voice, paused in surprise.

"They're just tiny ants. I wanted to test their power, but I didn't expect them to be so weak."

A twisted expression, one that would never have appeared on Shana's face before, now held mockery and disdain.

"That feeling again!"

Shana felt a chill run down her spine. Her thoughts were perfectly clear, yet she had a strange feeling that they were completely out of her control. At this moment, her consciousness seemed to disregard everyone. She knew this arrogant attitude was wrong, but it filled her mind and wouldn't go away.

"Ahhh!"

Shana let out a painful scream, breaking free from the vines, but her body was curled up in agony.

"What happened, Shana?!"

Alastor had no idea what had happened to Shana and could only shout anxiously.

"You ants, just die already!"

The pained expression gradually subsided, replaced by arrogance and violence. At this moment, a certain emotion within Shana was amplified to an infinite degree. Although it was based on her own judgment, it made her seem like a different person under the influence of her emotions.

"Tch, that's really annoying!"

Tilia frowned. Even as an enemy, she noticed Shana's strange behavior. However, this state was obviously advantageous to her, so she didn't think much of it and manipulated the vines to lash out at Shana.

"Is that all?!"

Shana didn't dodge or flinch at the vines that came lashing out at her. Instead of easily avoiding the attack, she used the Nite-dono Shōna in her hand to cut the vines in two.

"Was this prop's head damaged?"

As an enemy, Tilia has always been incredibly arrogant, but Shana is even more arrogant than her now. It's not just arrogance that's the word; perhaps 'conceit' would be a more appropriate description!

That's right, it's arrogance! Unreasonable arrogance!

Shana now genuinely disregards any enemy or attack, even knowing it's a trap, she still walks into it, and even attacks that can be dodged will be met head-on, pure arrogance to the extreme!

"Why! Why would you have such a thought!"

Shana's mind remained clear, but she seemed unable to control her thoughts. This wasn't due to being controlled by anyone; all her actions were her own decisions. However, what interfered with her decisions was an emotion called arrogance.

"This can't go on!"

Shana was roaring in her heart. She could clearly feel her power being consumed at an alarming rate. Tilia seemed to be toying with Shana, just attacking her straight with vines. Shana had no intention of dodging and took every attack without hesitation.

We must get to Xiaoyu as soon as possible!

Shana originally planned to finish the battle quickly. Although Lin Yu's combat power had changed dramatically during this period, it was still impossible for him to defeat a powerful Crimson World King on his own. Before the battle started, she decided to help as soon as possible, regardless of victory or defeat. However, in her current state, she had no chance of escaping, let alone helping!

She once lived merely as a prop, her only purpose being to maintain the balance of this world; she didn't even consider herself a human being.

"I'm just a Flame Haze." These were the words she once said to Lin Yu.

Flame Haze warriors may seem to have a sacred mission, but in reality they are merely vessels for the 'King' and tools for defeating the Crimson Denizens; they are not even human beings!

She, who had no purpose other than to be defeated, was given her own name and her own 'heart'!

dong dong!

The crimson flames pulsed as if they were alive.

dong dong!

Shana, who had been unflinching and blocking the vine attacks, suddenly stood still. Her arrogant and haughty expression turned unpredictable, and she even ignored the vines lashing at her.

Bang!

Shana's petite body was struck by a tremendous force, and she was sent flying backward without any resistance. The necklace that Alastor had materialized in the human world on her slender neck fell off under the impact, and Nie-dono Shana also slipped from her hand and stuck into the ground.

"This is so boring, this prop looks broken."

Tilia curled her lips in boredom. She had originally planned to tease Shana, but now she was no longer in the mood. Surat beside her was even more excited and pulled out the Nite-dono Shana.

"Tiliaru, look! It's Lord Zana!"

Surat smiled innocently, like a child showing off his toys.

"Congratulations, brother! Let's try out the knife with this broken tool!"

Surat used vines to hang Shana up again, who offered no resistance. He nodded heavily, took the Nie-dono Shana, and came to Shana's side. Shana still had her head down and her brows furrowed.

"Farewell, poor extermination tool."

Tilia smiled, but before Surat could strike with his sword, Shana, with her eyes closed, suddenly murmured.

"I am a Flame Haze, a person determined to fulfill the mission of maintaining the balance of the world."

"Ok?"

The sudden declaration caused Surat to pause slightly.

"Haa!"

With a delicate shout, the dormant crimson lotus flames erupted forth, and the invisible flames clinging to her body finally dissipated completely under the shockwave of the crimson lotus flames.

A golden light flashed, and the necklace, which had been nowhere to be seen, returned to Shana's chest as a stream of light. Tilia instinctively sensed something was wrong and hurriedly urged, "Brother, kill her quickly!"

Surat nodded, gripped the Nite-dono Shana tightly with both hands, infused it with his life force, and shouted, "Sword of Flame!"

The imagined crimson flames did not appear. The Nite-dono Shana was as still as an ordinary longsword, offering no response to his power. Surat raised his head in confusion and met Shana's mocking gaze.

"Does this mean...this?!"

A dazzling crimson flame ignited from Shana's palm, easily burning away the vines binding her body. The overwhelming flames obscured her vision, and when the flames subsided, Shana was holding a huge flaming sword in mid-air!

"Drink it!" x2

Shana's flaming sword clashed with Surat's Nietono Shana in mid-air. To Surat's surprise, what was engulfed in flames was his former weapon, a Noble Phantasm capable of wounding enemies upon contact...

"vampire!"

Surat gasped in surprise and instinctively tried to back away, but it was too late.

"what!!!"

Mysterious patterns covered the blade of the 'vampire' sword, a sign that its unique ability was about to be activated. The next second, countless wounds were slashed across Surat's body!

Puff!

Surat screamed as he fell, and Tilia instinctively tried to catch him, but Shana, who was in mid-air, snatched back her Niemon-dono Shana and hurled the 'Vampire' through her.

The Zhe Dian Zhe Na, now back in the hands of its true master, burst into a dazzling crimson flame, turning an area of ​​several hundred meters into a sea of ​​fire with a single swing, completely engulfing the Surat siblings within...

"Tch, they still lost so badly even with my help."

With the firelight reflected in his eyes, the man hiding in the shadows looked at Shana, who was riding high in mid-air, with a somewhat uncertain expression. Then, he turned his head impatiently and said to someone behind him, "Stop hiding. Do you really think I don't know you're there?"

"You're not a Flame Haze, are you? What was that power you just saw?"

Rami slowly walked out from where the man was looking, a pale blue orb in his hand emitting a soft glow.

"Flame Haze? Just a mere gadget." The man glanced at the ball of light in Rami's hand, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. "My name is 'Seven Sins,' and you don't need to know my origins."
