117. Self-destruction! The price of survival!

Thump, thump, thump...

A series of sounds, like the beating of a heart, echoed within the completely sealed Taurus body.

Lin Yu suddenly raised his head, his intuition telling him that something seemed wrong!

"Aaaaaah! You've resisted again and again! Die! Die! Die!"

Lin Yu became irritable due to Taurus's constant struggles, and the Flame of Sin amplified his anger to the extreme, while the crimson Flame of Sin also began to deepen.

"Break!"

With his arm raised high, Lin Yu gave up on killing Taurus directly from the body. Although he had already eroded a large part of Taurus's body with the Sinful Ice Flame, he could feel that the eroded part was less than one-fifth of Taurus's body. He had lost the patience to continue dragging it out!

The ice pillar burning with crimson flames roared up and slammed hard into the carapace that Taurus had used to trap Lin Yu.

"Break!"

With bloodshot eyes, Lin Yu roared hysterically, pouring out all his strength.

At this moment, Taurus had collapsed to the ground, exhausted. It is worth mentioning that its leg, which had been severed by Lin Yu, had not recovered!

"Has the resilience reached its limit?"

In mid-air, Shana, blocked by Alaya, frowned as she looked down at Taurus, who should have fully recovered but now appeared listless.

"No, that's not right. It deliberately gave up on repairing its body!"

Suddenly remembering something, Shana scanned Taurus with her gaze.

"really!"

Shana's expression turned serious, because on Taurus's back, the cracks that had just appeared were repaired in the next second. The reason why Taurus gave up on repairing its body was that it was able to concentrate its restorative power on a specific area on its back!

Is Xiaoyu there right now?

Shana easily guessed which area Lin Yu was attacking, so much so that Taurus even abandoned the body's repair and concentrated all of its regenerative abilities on its back.

As Shana had guessed, controlling regeneration is also a special ability of Taurus. It can regenerate the body according to its own will. This ability may not be of any use under normal circumstances, but now it has become the culprit that has trapped Lin Yu firmly!

Thump, thump, thump thump thump!

The sound echoing in Lin Yu's ears grew louder and louder, and he became more and more frantic. Under the influence of the Flame of Sin, even his intuition seemed to be enhanced. At least, even though he was on the verge of losing his mind, he could feel that if he didn't leave, he would die!

Suddenly, the Taurus's yellowish-brown body glowed red, and even Shana, hundreds of meters away, could feel the air stirring.

"The movement coming from inside its body? Could it be Xiaoyu?"

Shana stared in astonishment at Taurus's enormous body, unsure whether she should intervene.

"No, it shouldn't be. Xiaoyu's abilities are mainly based on ice and flame, and the Flame of Sin is not an ordinary flame, so it shouldn't cause this situation."

At first it was not very obvious, but now Shana is absolutely certain that the temperature is rising at an alarming rate!

"It wouldn't be trying to suffocate Xiaoyu, would it?"

Although the temperature was very high, Shana did not believe that Lin Yu, who possessed ice flames, would be afraid of this level of heat.

"The higher the level of these monsters, the less different their intelligence should be from that of humans. Why are they doing this?"

Shana was thinking quickly. She could see that although Lin Yu's strength had increased dramatically under the enhancement of the Flame of Sin, his rationality had almost been completely lost, just like Seven Sins had back then. Under such circumstances, it was easy for him to run into big problems.

"Something's wrong, the temperature is getting higher and higher!"

At this moment, Taurus's body surface was the color of a boiled crab. What made Shana even more uneasy was that she could even see concentric heat waves radiating outward from Taurus. What she didn't know was that these concentric heat waves were exactly in sync with the echoing sounds coming from Taurus's body.

Unlike its drastically changed body, Taurus's crimson eyes grew increasingly dim, as if its life was about to burn out. It was hard to believe that Gastrea, with its outstanding regenerative abilities and tenacious vitality, could become so weak.

Boom!

An unprecedented muffled sound echoed through the mountains, and this time, even Shana, who was far away, could hear it clearly.

"what happened?"

Shana stared intently down below, her tense gaze fixed on the carapace that had been steadily healing. At some point, the carapace had ceased to heal, and the crimson flames tinged with icy blue burst forth. However, Lin Yu, who had broken through the carapace, flew towards Shana without looking back.

"Little Feather!"

Shana exclaimed in surprise, but after seeing the expression on Lin Yu's face, she suddenly understood something.

The next moment, the Taurus's body, whose eyes had been completely dulled, suddenly burst forth with the most intense crimson light.

Rumble!

An unimaginably violent explosion erupted in a hemispherical shape in this disaster-stricken valley. Lin Yu only had time to hold Shana tightly in his arms and wrap his entire body in ice wings formed from the Flame of Sin before the crimson energy ball engulfed Lin Yu and Shana...

scoff!

The wings formed from the Sinful Ice Flame were instantly shattered by the powerful energy explosion, and the immense crimson light quickly penetrated the last layer of Sinful Ice Flame protection, shining directly onto Lin Yu's back.

"Xiaoyu, let me go!"

Shana struggled frantically, but Lin Yu, still empowered by the Flame of Sin, was stronger than her, and no matter how hard she struggled, she was powerless to break free.

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Yu seemed to have shaken off the negative effects of the Flame of Sin, and gave Shana a bright smile.

"Shana, don't forget my attributes."

Lin Yu's sudden remark left Xia Na stunned, seemingly unable to process it.

"I'm a lolicon! If anyone knew that I, a lolicon, let such a cute loli like Shana get hurt in front of them, I'd be a heretic who would be burned at the stake!"

If someone said that on the street under normal circumstances, they would definitely get called in by the police, but saying it at this moment left Shana completely dumbfounded.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! You idiot, Xiaoyu!"

Shana, her eyes red, lay on Lin Yu's chest. Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could now smell a pungent, burnt odor—the smell of Lin Yu's back being burned.

"Everything will be alright, I promise nothing will happen to you!"

With this resolve, Lin Yu lost consciousness. The battle had drained him of too much energy, and with his emotions calming down, the power of the Flame of Sin had completely subsided. The weakness from the side effects and the fatigue after the battle overwhelmed him at the same time, causing Lin Yu to lose consciousness directly. Only his hands remained unconsciously holding Shana's petite body tightly.

"Now it's my turn to protect you."

As Shana watched Lin Yu slowly close his eyes, she made up her mind. As long as she used the Heavenly Shattering Split now, Alastor's strength would surely be able to guarantee Lin Yu's safety.

As for herself?

Is it important?

"Hey, are you really planning to sacrifice yourself like this and become a pair of lovers who will never die together?"

An impatient voice rang in his ears, but Alaya completely ignored the crimson light that exuded an aura of destruction.

"What scheme are you plotting now!"

Shana no longer trusts Alaya and Gaia at all, and the only reason she hasn't taken direct action is because she's afraid of worsening Lin Yu's injuries.

"Don't worry, I have a way to keep both of you safe and sound, but it will only cost you a little."

Alaya smiled elegantly, her gaze meeting Shana's sharp eyes...

[Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to resume two updates a day tomorrow. I hope you understand. Sorry.]

118. A contract that belongs only to Lin Yu!

"cost?"

Shana frowned. It wasn't that she was worried the price was too high for her to bear. Was there any price higher than her life?

Shana's only concern was that this was another conspiracy orchestrated by Alaya. Although she had little contact with Gaia and Alaya, Shana found it hard to have any goodwill towards these two little figures who stood behind Lin Yu and seemed to be plotting one conspiracy after another.

Of course, Gaia was just a scapegoat. From her initial contact with Lin Yu until now, it was all part of Alaya's plan, but she didn't stop it.

"If you're worried that we're up to some kind of scheme, there's no need to worry. This price only applies to you and Xiaoyu. It might be unacceptable to others, but for you, it's hardly even a price."

Alaya's words seemed to have another meaning. Seeing that Lin Yu's zombies were getting worse, even with Shana's Crimson Lotus Fire blocking the erosion of the crimson light pillar, it could only reduce the damage and could not completely isolate it.

"I understand. Now tell me what exactly this so-called price is."

If she could, Shana certainly wouldn't want to die like this. No one from the past who had used Tenpo Rangsui to subdue the Flame-Haired Burning Eyes had survived. Even Lin Yu, who possessed the memories of the original work, would never dare to joke about this matter. After all, even he himself had always thought that the reason Shana survived using Tenpo Rangsui in the original work was pure nonsense.

The previous generation of 'Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer' and Alastor were practically a couple, yet they both died without a trace after using this move. In the original story, Shana's survival can basically be attributed to plot necessity.

However, anime can never be compared to reality. After all, the world of anime is real, and anime is just a secondary creation based on these real worlds. Just like urban novels based on reality, in the normal world, there aren't that many cases of people showing off and getting slapped in the face. Even the prettiest girl walking down the street might get more attention and more people turning their heads to look at her. If some rich kid suddenly appeared and harassed a girl on the street, he would probably be beaten half to death by the onlookers.

"Ye-chan is exaggerating."

This time, Gaia, who had been silent for a long time, took over the conversation. She didn't want Alaya to bear all of this alone.

"To you, it's less of a price and more of a contract."

"contract?"

Shana grasped the key point in Gaia's words.

"Yes, a contract, a contract that will bring you and Xiaoyu closer together. Once you sign the contract, the timeline of this world will automatically return to its original state, and Xiaoyu's injuries will also be healed."

Gaia said with certainty.

"What are the contents of the contract?"

Shana is no stranger to contracts, after all, she made a contract with Alastor when she was still young and became the new generation of 'Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer'!

"The content is very simple; it just depends on whether you can accept it."

Gaia looked at Shana meaningfully: "Once the contract is made, you will become Xiaoyu's property."

Shana was completely stunned; she never imagined that the so-called contract would contain such a thing.

"If you can't accept that..."

"If it's just Xiaoyu, I'll accept it!"

Gaia was interrupted by Shana before she could finish speaking. Shana's tone was firm and she didn't seem to be forcing herself at all. However, it was clear from her words that she didn't trust Gaia and Alaya.

"Are you really sure? Once you sign the contract, everything you have will belong to Xiaoyu, whether it's your life or anything else."

Gaia seemed to be testing Shana's resolve; even the slightest reluctance might waver under her voice.

In response, Shana simply looked at Lin Yu's face and smiled gently: "Does that mean I'm not his if I don't sign the contract?"
