Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

Clang!

After most of the Gastrea's body had passed over his head, Lin Yu swung the vampire upwards with a fierce flick of his greatsword, slicing the flailing tail into several pieces. The tip of the sword narrowly severed the base of the tail!

"Success!"

Success! My first success since I started training!

"summer……"

Just as Lin Yu looked at Shana with great excitement, a tearing pain suddenly struck him.

Puff!

Although Lin Yu successfully severed one of his tails, the Gastrea around him didn't care about his mood. They tore a large gash in his back with a single claw. Lin Yu's body was like a torch, so the injury wasn't too serious, but he was definitely in a lot of pain!

"Damn it, these beasts are too weak. I got so excited that I forgot about them."

Lin Yu only had time to think about these things when he heard Shana's worried shouts.

"Little Feather!"

Shana, equally surprised that Lin Yu had finally succeeded, didn't have time to react, so even though it was just a minor injury, it still made Shana angry.

Clang!

Sitting on the tree, Shana stomped hard, snapping the thick branch in half. Her petite body left a trail of crimson afterimages as she arrived beside Lin Yu. With lightning speed, she swung out the Zanpakuto in her hand, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Yu found that the seven Gastrea around him had been cleanly and decisively killed.

"Xiaoyu, are you alright?"

After quickly slaying all the Gastrea present, Shana looked at Lin Yu with a mixture of anxiety and worry, completely forgetting that for Lin Yu, the Torch, this injury was nothing at all.

When she saw Lin Yu, she found him looking at her with a surprised expression.

What's wrong with me?

Shana subconsciously touched her cheek, thinking that she had just gotten some of Gastrea's murky blood on her.

Shana, your hair!

Once he came to his senses, Lin Yu easily repaired his injuries with his abundant and overwhelming power of existence, then pointed in surprise at Shana's brilliant red hair.

That's right, Shana's hair is no longer jet black, but the battle state that Lin Yu used to know: Flame Hair Burning Eyes!

[Uh, quite a few readers have commented on the slow update schedule. As a working professional, I'm promising a minimum of two updates starting tomorrow. If there are any unforeseen circumstances preventing this, I'll let you know in the comments section beforehand. My job is quite demanding, so please bear with me if updates are slower. I'll try my best to update as much as possible!]

I was quite satisfied with yesterday's chapter, so why did I lose 10 favorites after updating? I guess I'm just not suited to writing slice-of-life stories; every time I do, my favorites drop...

096. The Gastrea, who were incredibly unlucky

"Shana, have you regained your power?"

Lin Yu looked at Shana's fiery red hair and said with surprise.

Shana closed her eyes, sensed her own power, and said, "No, I've only recovered a portion."

He clenched his fist. The Crimson Lotus Flame, which had been suppressed since he came to this world, had not been fully released, but it was already able to ignite a small flame.

"red lotus!"

Holding the Nie Dian Shana tightly, accompanied by Shana's delicate shout, a small fire snake coiled around the blade of the Nie Dian Shana as always. Although it was not as vigorous as usual, the way Shana held the flaming katana still reminded Lin Yu of the familiar sight from the past.

"As expected, my Shana is the prettiest!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu pounced on her. Back when he was still a shut-in, he had always thought how wonderful it would be to hold the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Shana in his arms. Now he finally had the chance to do so.

Note that the word used here is "has a chance"!

boom!

Shana, her brow twitching, slammed the hilt of her knife into Lin Yu's head.

"Idiot, it's still training time, and you've only succeeded once. Who knows if it was just a coincidence!"

Normally, Xia Na might have half-heartedly given in to Lin Yu, but during training, she was more serious than anyone else. If he tried to take advantage of her at this time, there was no way he could get away with it!

"Ouch, Shana, you really hit me hard! Look, it's all swollen!"

Lin Yu brought his head close to Shana's face; if Shana hadn't been holding his hand away, his face would have been touching hers.

"You idiot Xiaoyu! Don't come back today if you can't kill 20 Stage II monsters with your bare hands!"

As the saying goes, "If you don't court death, you won't die." Lin Yu knew that Xia Na was a stubborn and arrogant person, but he still acted recklessly because of her arrogant attitude. He deserved to be punished.

"Tch, really. I've already hugged you so many times, it won't hurt you to let me hug you again."

Lin Yu's resentful mutterings were met with an angry shout from Xia Na.

"Hurry up and go!"

Startled, Lin Yu ran out immediately, abandoning even his vampire.

"Uh, looks like I woke up at the wrong time."

Alastor's voice, which Lin Yu had forgotten, suddenly rang out, and Shana looked at her chest in surprise.

"Alastor, you're awake!"

Back when they were still in their original world, Alaya told Shana that after Alastor went to another world with her, he would inevitably fall into a deep sleep. If it were his true form, it wouldn't be so, but it wouldn't be so simple to project his consciousness into another world with completely different laws just through the 'divine artifact' on Shana's chest.

The world of Shakugan no Shana, the real world and the Crimson World are actually two very similar co-existing worlds. As the worlds have grown, their laws have become complementary, which is why interaction between the two worlds has become a reality. Such worlds are not uncommon. Strictly speaking, they are like double-yolk eggs. It is still the same egg, but with two yolks.

The various theories in the world are too complicated, but if you want to understand them simply, they are not that complicated. Shana's power comes almost entirely from her contract with Alastor. When Shana was able to use a trace of the Crimson Flame, she naturally established a connection with Alastor, and he woke up as a result.

"Is this another world? This feeling... it must be the world instinctively suppressing me."

Alastor is a Crimson World Demon God known as the God of Divine Punishment. In terms of pure power, he even surpasses the Creator God, the Serpent of Ritual. Such a being has reached the pinnacle of the world and is only one step away from jumping out of the original world. With his strength, he can easily break free from the suppression imposed by the world's instinct, but there is no need to break free now.

"Let's go check on Xiaoyu's fight first, or he'll start slacking off again if we don't keep an eye on him."

It can be said that the person who understands Lin Yu best in this world is Xia Na. She knows very well that Lin Yu is not lacking in self-awareness, but simply enjoys the feeling of having her by his side.

"Oh, here it comes!"

As expected, Shana smiled as soon as she arrived at Lin Yu's place. Nearly ten Stage I warriors had gathered around him, but there was only one Stage II warrior.

Although Gastrea roam this world, most of them are Stage I, Stage II accounts for only about one-sixth, and Stage III is even less.

"Just go and die!"

Lin Yu was initially just dodging, but the moment Shana appeared, he decisively switched from defense to offense, sending a dog-like Gastrea that had missed its target flying with a single punch.

"Being airborne and unable to exert any force, that punch would probably only severely injure it."

Although it was only Phase I, the Gastrea's resilience was no joke. The Gastrea that seemed completely unharmed simply shook its head and stood up. Apart from its movements becoming very sluggish, there was no indication that it had been seriously injured.

"That punch was aimed in the wrong direction! If it had been thrown at the ground, the recoil alone would have been enough to kill it."

Even without using weapons, Lin Yu was constantly learning combat experience in close combat. In essence, he had no desire to stay at home. If it weren't for some unpleasant things that happened in the past that made him almost despair of reality, there would be no way he would stay at home.

Now that he has arrived in the anime world he longed for, he must live a truly wonderful life for himself!

"Lin Yu, your growth rate is truly astonishing!"

Alastor sighed with emotion. When he and Shana first met Lin Yu, the latter was just an ordinary boy who would run far away from any fight. Apart from showing some foresight and boldness, he had no fighting ability whatsoever.

Now, Lin Yu dares to engage in close-quarters combat with more than a dozen monsters with his bare hands!

"Now!"

Lin Yu slightly pushed off with his feet, leaping up a small distance. Using the momentum of his fall, he punched a Gastrea's head into the ground. The Gastrea twitched twice on the surface before dying completely.

"This feeling of every punch landing with flesh seems pretty good?"

Lin Yu licked his lips and suddenly realized that he seemed to be becoming more and more violent.

"But I like it!"

With his hands gripping the head of a Gastrea, Lin Yu swung its body like a baseball bat. His already immense strength allowed him to first stun the Gastrea, then stomp down hard with his foot.

With a single swing and a finishing blow, he killed eleven Gastrea, including a Stage II Gastrea, without using any vampires.

If we were to say which one died the worst, it would probably be that Gastrea that had the worst luck in eight lifetimes, being captured alive by Lin Yu and used as a baseball bat. At least the others were stunned by the impact and died without realizing it, but that one was simply killed by the shockwave...

096. Gastrea, facing bloodshed.

"Shana, have you regained your power?"

Lin Yu looked at Shana's fiery red hair and said with surprise.
