Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

But as Latan's body flashed with purple lightning, he spiraled up to the sky and flew towards Lin Zhiyu.

When Busujima Saeko, who was standing at the edge of the battlefield, saw this scene, her face suddenly turned pale.

"Ayu!"

She called out to Lin Zhiyu and rushed out in a hurry.

Jie Lian, who was standing next to her, quickly grabbed Saeko Busujima's wrist and, when Saeko turned around to look at him, shook his head and said:

"The battle isn't over yet! Don't be impulsive and trust your companions!"

Having said that, Jie Lian actually didn't have the slightest confidence.

The reason why he advised Busujima Saeko like this was because he didn't want Busujima Saeko to end up like Tragus, Lionel and others next to her, and end up seriously injured and unconscious.

After all, judging from the current situation, so many people including Lin Zhiyu have been defeated one after another. Even if Busujima Saeko rushes out alone, she can never be a match for Ratan even if she risks her life!

This is what Jie Lian really thinks.

He had already accepted Lin Zhiyu's failure and didn't want anyone else to make unnecessary sacrifices. At the same time, he was also feeling emotional...

What a pity!

That young man named Lin Zhiyu was able to fight against General Latan for such a long time on his own. However, General Latan was the "strongest demigod" after all. It was impossible for a mortal to defeat General Latan, right?

Busujima Saeko was unaware of Jerian's complex thoughts. She was terribly anxious, yet she knew that rushing out wouldn't change the situation. She gritted her teeth, her words bringing back memories of the hardships she and Lin Zhiyu had endured together, and she felt a small sense of peace.

Because he is different from Jie Lian who says one thing and means another.

Saeko really believes in Lin Zhiyu!

-------------------------------------

"boom!"

After pushing Lin Zhiyu into the sky, Latan fell back to the ground and the purple lightning on his body dissipated.

By this point in the battle, the strongest demigod, deeply eroded by the Crimson Corruption, had reached an unprecedented low. While still no match for the likes of Telages and Lionel, Latarn, subconsciously convinced that the battle was over, relaxed.

The Starbreaker, who had amputated both of his own feet, was now so exhausted that he could barely even maintain the most basic use of gravity magic. Without his feet, he couldn't stand properly, so he knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, breathing heavily, like a wild animal.

Because of the temporary pause in the fighting, the ground was gradually no longer covered with flying sand.

There are no more purple lightning and fireworks flashing one after another.

Latan knelt in the sand, motionless, whether mourning his dead mount or simply resting.

The Wailing Dunes are so quiet and dark at this moment.

But only for a short while.

Latan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky as if he had sensed something.

At this time, the dim sky began to turn white and bright at a speed visible to the naked eye!

When it didn't rain at all.

There was even a rainbow appearing in the sky!

Such a strange celestial phenomenon failed to attract Latan's attention.

Because at this moment, there was only one thing in Latan's eyes.

A fireball falling from the sky!

-------------------------------------

"That is……?"

At the edge of the battlefield, looking at the suddenly changing celestial phenomena and the fireballs falling from the sky, Jerry and Serolina who was rescuing people beside him, as well as Alexander, Blaze, Li Meifeng, and Uehara Rin who were not in a coma - all of them were stunned.

Only Busujima Saeko, who stood aside with her fists clenched, showed a happy smile at this moment.

Because she had experienced a similar scene once before.

But that time, it was Yatagarasu who summoned the Red-Mouthed Light, and this time it was obviously Lin Zhiyu who summoned the Red-Mouthed Light!

Look at the fireball falling from the sky.

It is almost the same as Latan’s previous “Great Wilderness Starfall”.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

But Busujima Saeko knew that the fire she saw at this moment was not Latan, but her Lin Zhiyu!

When she was suffering from the scarlet corruption, it was Lin Zhiyu who transformed into fire, illuminating and warming her, suppressing the scarlet corruption for her.

Now, when her heart was about to sink to the bottom of the sea and she was clinging to the last glimmer of hope, it was Lin Zhiyu who turned into fire, making her feel completely at ease.

"Ayu... City Lord Jie Lian is right, I believe you!" Thinking of this, tears of excitement and joy were already flashing in Busujima Saeko's eyes.

-------------------------------------

Red Lion City, on the wall facing the Weeping Dunes.

"Sister Laura, look, there's a rainbow over there!"

Theresa was held in Laura's arms, and she excitedly pointed to the place where the rainbow appeared, which was above the Weeping Dunes.

Laura naturally saw the rainbow and the series of abnormal celestial changes just now.

But this was the first time she had seen this strange phenomenon. She had no idea what it meant, let alone where these changes came from.

"It's not just a rainbow, look, there are also shooting stars!"

Millicent, wearing a hood, stood beside Laura and Theresa, pointing with her only left hand at the rapidly falling fireball in the distant sky.

Theresa then said with a strange look on her face:

"Why is it another red meteor? Didn't a meteor like this fall before? And... this is so strange! I remember my brother clearly telling me that ever since the great hero Latarn challenged the stars, no meteors have fallen on this land!"

Theresa, who had been without parental company since childhood and for whom even listening to stories was a luxury, still clearly remembered the story about Latan that Lin Zhiyu had told her before.

And after arriving in Red Lion City, she gradually realized that all the stories told by Lin Zhiyu were true, and they happened on the land where they are now!

But if her brother hadn't deceived Theresa, why would meteors still fall from the sky even though the stars had clearly been fixed by Latarn?

"Those aren't real stars."

Suddenly, a strange and cold female voice sounded beside him.

Theresa, Laura, and Millicent, the three girls turned their heads one after another and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

At this time, there was a woman wearing a white dress and a white wizard hat standing there.

The woman has unusual blue skin and four arms.

Under the wizard's hat, half of the woman's "soul" head was translucent and looming, and did not completely overlap with the head of the body, as if her soul and body were not perfectly compatible, so there was a small flaw between the two where the head did not completely overlap.

"You are……?"

Looking at this strange yet beautiful woman, Laura looked wary.

Ignored Laura.

Lani looked up at the sky above the Weeping Dunes and said expressionlessly:

"Star-shattering General Ratan is about to fall, a new era is about to begin, and those true 'shooting stars' are ready to move..."

After leaving behind such a meaningless sentence, Lani immediately turned into countless points of light and disappeared on the city wall.

It was over before Laura and the others could figure out the situation.

"boom--!"

From afar, in the direction of the Weeping Dunes, there was suddenly an extremely violent explosion, and the huge explosion sound was clearly heard in the direction of Red Lion City.

Laura, Theresa, and Millicent quickly turned their heads to look at the Weeping Dunes, but because they were too far away, they had no way of knowing what exactly was happening there.

Later, just above Gayleid, meteors began to fall one after another, forming a "meteor shower", an astronomical phenomenon that had not appeared in the border area for a long time since La Tarn fixed the stars.

Among them, there was an extremely large meteor that fell to the west of Galid at an extremely fast speed.

As the meteor finally landed on the horizon...

"boom!"

In an instant, the earth shook!

The author says:

Author's Note: The "Battle Festival" arc ends!

The next chapter - "The Dark Moon King's Husband", please stay tuned!

Attached small theater——

Landlord: Have you ever seen a palm technique that falls from the sky?

Landlady: Could this be the long-lost Tathagata...

Lin Zhiyu: That’s right! This is the Great Desolate Starfall that I just copied from Broken Star!

Chapter 47: The Burning Great Rune

It was late at night and the oil lamp was emitting a dim light in the room. The sick woman was sitting by the bed, waiting silently.

"Well……"

At a certain moment, Lin Zhiyu, who was lying on the bed, made a soft murmur and slowly woke up from his sleep.

Saeko Busujima held Theresa, who had already fallen asleep, and stayed in Lin Zhiyu's room from the afternoon until the early hours of the morning. She was already drowsy.

But when she heard the movement on the bed, Busujima Saeko's originally blurry eyes immediately widened and she became alert in an instant.

"Ayu, you finally woke up!"

"Saeko? Uh...what time is it now? How long have I been asleep?"

As soon as Lin Zhiyu opened his eyes, he saw Saeko's joyful smile. The two then started a conversation, and then Lin Zhiyu learned from Saeko that more than ten hours had passed since the end of the battle festival.

It is early morning now, and almost everyone in Red Lion City is asleep except for the soldiers on night watch.

"Ayu, you fell into a deep sleep after defeating Latarn. After I brought you back, many people, including the city lord, Jeremiah, crowded into this room just to wait for you to wake up. Uehara Rin and the others stayed with me until very late, but in the end I let them go back and rest."

"Then why is Theresa still here?"

"There's nothing any of us can do about this. The little girl thought you were seriously injured like last time and was very worried. No matter how much we tried to persuade her, she insisted on staying here."

Holding the still sleeping Theresa in her arms, Busujima Saeko smiled helplessly.

Seeing the little girl sleeping in Saeko's arms with a hint of cuteness on her face, Lin Zhiyu also smiled and sat up from the bed. He asked Saeko with interest, "Don't you think we look like a family of three now?"

Hearing this, Saeko was stunned for a moment, then she looked down at Theresa who was in her arms, with a maternal smile on her face, and whispered to Lin Zhiyu:

"If Yu likes girls, Saeko can give her a daughter in the future, and then we will be a family of four."

Although she expressed her desire to give birth to a daughter for Lin Zhiyu herself, Saeko also mentioned a family of four, which shows that she actually likes Theresa very much and agrees with what Lin Zhiyu said just now.

However, the image of Theresa growing up—the image of Bayonetta from "Bayonetta"—was still too profound for Lin Zhiyu. So, when he thought of the image of "Bayonetta" hugging his arm and calling him "Daddy," Lin Zhiyu, feeling particularly uncomfortable, added:

"I was just joking. I'm so young, and Theresa always calls me brother. But when it comes to you, Saeko, it's as if the relationship between Theresa and I is implicitly assumed to be father and daughter."

"Whether she is a daughter or a little sister, aren't we all family?" Saeko responded to Lin Zhiyu with a smile.

It can be seen that she is really willing to accept Theresa and treat Theresa as family.

After all, Saeko is a kind girl, so it is normal for her to like a cute, pitiful and sensible little sister like Theresa.

After taking another look at Theresa who was held in Saeko's arms, Lin Zhiyu slowly put away the smile on his face and said to Saeko in a serious tone:

"By the way, Saeko, did you remember to collect the Great Rune from Latarn? I was exhausted and unconscious at the time, so I didn't have time to do anything else."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but recall the situation at that time.

After being pushed into the sky by Latan.

He summoned the Light of the Red Mouth, and under the reflection of the light, his health was instantly restored to full, and he even received a short-term BUFF that enhanced all abilities.

And then falling to the ground.

To unleash all the fire power in the body at all costs.

In the end, Lin Zhiyu turned into a fire meteor, and under the illumination of the red mouth's light, it smashed down violently on Latan's body.

As a result, Latan died from Lin Zhiyu's "Great Wilderness Star Fall".
