Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

After getting the answer he wanted from Patch, Novich then decided to kill Patch.

Whoosh! At the critical moment, a gorgeous straight sword inlaid with brilliant pyroxene flew down from a height.

Novich reacted in time and jumped back to avoid the flying sword.

"Buzz!"

The gorgeous Kalia Knight sword then plunged into the ground with its tip facing downwards—just a dozen feet in front of Patch. The sword, having just been inserted into the ground, was still trembling and humming slightly.

Then, Lin Zhiyu's figure fell from the sky and landed on the riverbed that was about to dry up, splashing water everywhere with a loud bang!

Patch hadn't realized what was happening yet and looked terrified.

At this time, Lin Zhiyu turned around and greeted Patch with a smile:

"Hi~ Long time no see!"

Looking at the grinning Lin Zhiyu, Patch widened his eyes and became even more confused for a moment. He couldn't figure out what was going on!

On the other side, Novich stared closely at Lin Zhiyu who suddenly arrived, and immediately made a gesture, signaling the surrounding soldiers to attack Lin Zhiyu.

Many soldiers in the unit led by Norwich were equipped with crossbows. At this time, these soldiers aimed their crossbows at Lin Zhiyu and Patch and then fired.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish…!”

Crossbow arrows suddenly flew towards Lin Zhiyu and Patch.

Lin Zhiyu pulled out the Kalia Knight Sword that was stuck in the ground next to him and cast "Call the Storm".

call!

A strong wind suddenly blew up, blowing down the flying crossbow arrows.

Seeing this, Novich quickly raised his hand to call a halt, asking all crossbowmen to stop shooting.

Then he asked Lin Zhiyu:

"Who are you?"

Raising a storm is the most powerful and difficult to master among the many storm fighting techniques. Basically, only lost knights like Norwich can do it.

But Norwich didn't know Lin Zhiyu, he needed to know where Lin Zhiyu learned how to summon storms!

Chapter 64: The firestorm sweeps across the enemy!

As the enemies around him temporarily stopped shooting, Lin Zhiyu also stopped using the Summon Storm technique.

But Lin Zhiyu did not answer Norwich's question. Instead, he turned around and looked at Patch again, asking Patch what the female monster in the cave looked like.

Obviously, Lin Zhiyu was hiding in the dark and heard everything.

At this time, Patch's eyes were still wandering between Lin Zhiyu and the many Grek soldiers around him. He really wanted to tell Lin Zhiyu that if he had any questions, he could get rid of the enemies first and then ask.

However, Lin Zhiyu only frowned slightly, and Patch took a step back and immediately answered Lin Zhiyu's question honestly, saying loudly:

"A tail! That monster has two tails!"

"What about appearance?"

"Well, the light in the cave isn't very bright, so I can't see clearly..."

"Then how do you know it's a 'female' monster?"

"Body! That monster's body is clearly female!"

"Okay, then let me ask you again, can that female monster become invisible?"

"Hmm? Well... I don't know either, but she did appear in the cave suddenly. I can't rule out the possibility that she sneaked in."

While being surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers and being watched with ill intentions, Lin Zhiyu remained calm and asked Patch a series of questions.

Until Patch answered the question about whether the female monster in the cave could become invisible.

"and many more!"

Norwich, who was ignored by Lin Zhiyu, spoke in a loud voice.

Lin Zhiyu turned to look at the lost knight, who slowly said:

"You knew that the banshee could become invisible? Are you acquainted with her?"

Although the Lost Home Knight was asking Lin Zhiyu, his question was the answer to Lin Zhiyu's doubts.

A banshee with two tails who can increase her strength through killing and can also become invisible.

This is definitely Evelynn, the "Widowmaker", or "The Embrace of Pain"!

"No wonder I met Laura in Gaileed before, but never met Evelyn. It turns out that she has been 'fighting monsters and leveling up' in Nimgefu..." Lin Zhiyu thought with his eyes slightly narrowed.

At the same time, he was also certain that this Evelyn from "K/DA" was indeed not an ordinary person - just ask yourself, which ordinary person would have two tails?

It's like a demon disguised as a normal human. I'm afraid that only when she is about to start killing will she reveal her true appearance, the image of a demon with two tails!

With that in mind, the Infinite System's matchmaking mechanism is actually quite balanced. Setting Theresa aside, Laura and Evelynn, though both newcomers to the Infinite World, are actually quite impressive even without the Infinite System's newbie gift packs.

In addition, after confirming that the banshee in the cave was Evelyn, Lin Zhiyu understood why Greg sent a lost knight with an elite force to hunt down Evelyn.

It was a simple matter. Nimgefu was Greg's territory, and Evelyn had been leveling up there, likely killing many of Greg's men. Greg must have been annoyed, so he paid special attention to Evelyn. Now, Evelyn was clearly cornered.

"If I turn around and leave now, I'm afraid neither Patch nor Evelyn will survive!" Lin Zhiyu thought with certainty.

But the current situation is that even if Lin Zhiyu wants to leave, others may not give way!

"Sir, you still don't answer my question. Do you think that if you use the Storm Fighting Skill, I will have concerns and dare not attack you?" The Lost Knight Norwich spoke to Lin Zhiyu again, and this time his tone was very unfriendly.

"Anyway, we will have to fight against Greg's men sooner or later because of Daluun..." Lin Zhiyu muttered to himself, still without answering Norwich.

Norwich didn't hear Lin Zhiyu's mumbling clearly, nor did he need to. Lin Zhiyu had repeatedly ignored him, so he gestured to the surrounding crossbowmen to resume their shooting at Lin Zhiyu and Patch.

At this time, Lin Zhiyu appeared in front of a small group of crossbowmen like lightning, and then swung the straight sword in his hand.

"Shh!"

A cold light flashed, and before several crossbowmen could react, they were already killed in the throat by Lin Zhiyu's sword!

Immediately afterwards, flames suddenly ignited on the sword of the Kalia Knight Sword in Lin Zhiyu's hand.

Before the other crossbowmen around him aimed at him, Lin Zhiyu immediately swung his sword continuously, slashing out flaming sword energy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Arc-shaped fiery red sword energy flew out, causing violent explosions upon collision. The raging flames almost turned the nearly dry riverbed outside the Mengliu Cave into a dry land.

Patch took advantage of the chaos and ran away, but before he got completely away, he stopped and gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! That guy blackmailed me. Even if he saved me this time, it's just a draw at best! I did this just because I'm annoyed with those lackeys of Greg!" While cursing, Patch took out an ugly little statue from his body.

The statue was of an ugly baby that was completely black and had horns all over its body.

Strange object - the statue of the young son with an ominous sign!

The native life of the Borderland originated from the Golden Tree's predecessor—the Crucible of Life. The Crucible of Life is like a melting pot, producing life that often possesses the physiological characteristics of multiple species. This is why the Borderland boasts hybrids with humanoid forms, scaly skin, dragon tails, and eagle wings.

Since the source of blood is also the melting pot of life, some newborns in the border area will experience the phenomenon of reversion of their bloodline and grow horns all over their bodies.

This is what is called - the melting pot of a hundred aspects!

During the Golden Tree's era, the Golden Dynasty sought to minimize the existence of the Golden Tree's predecessor, the "Furnace of Life." Consequently, the Furnace's various forms were actively devalued. Not only were the once-noble hybrids reduced to degraded, discriminated-for life, but newborns experiencing atavism and sprouting horns were also labeled "bad omens," officially unacceptable forms of life within the Golden Dynasty.

Therefore, many children of bad omen were strangled shortly after birth.

There are also some parents who cannot bear to abandon their children and try to cut off their children's horns, but this is like skinning and bone removal of a normal newborn. How many children can survive such torture?

In order to seek peace of mind, some people carved statues of young children with bad omens to worship those children with bad omens who died in infancy.

Patch got this statue of the ominous young child from somewhere, and it contained a large number of ominous resentful souls, and these resentful souls could be released to chase and attack people!

"Hmph! I hope someone doesn't die from the attack of the vengeful spirit~"

After placing the statue of the Ominous Child on the ground and infusing it with a little magic power, Patch turned around and ran away quickly.

The ominous statue of the young child, which was just a small object on the ground, was like a magic box with a switch turned on, and a large number of resentful souls began to fly out of it.

The explosions caused by Lin Zhiyu's continuous slashing of flaming sword energy produced flames and smoke that made it difficult to see clearly in the area outside the Mengliu Cave for a while.

It was in this chaos that the vengeful spirits were able to wreak havoc. Those soldiers under Greg's command who hadn't died at Lin Zhiyu's hands were haunted by the vengeful spirits and fell one after another. In just a short while, dozens of the troops, originally numbering around a hundred, were killed.

Several Greg knights locked onto Lin Zhiyu in the chaos, and tacitly launched a charge against Lin Zhiyu from multiple directions to surround and kill him.

The flaming sword energy is very useful against large targets or clearing soldiers because of its ability to cause explosions.

But if it is against an "elite monster" of normal size like a "knight", the flaming sword energy can be easily dodged, so Lin Zhiyu did not continue to slash out the flaming sword energy to block the several Grek knights who were surrounding him. Instead, he raised his hands, clasped the straight sword in his hands, and began to spin and swing the straight sword to create a storm.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

The fiery red storm roared and surged, countless sparks dancing on the air currents!

In this wave, Lin Zhiyu also released the power of fire when he cast the Summon Storm, which was a Fiery Storm!

Seeing this, several Greg knights stopped in their tracks, neither advancing nor retreating.

But even if they don't take the initiative to rush into the storm, the storm will automatically sweep towards them!

Lin Zhiyu began to move while continuously spinning and swinging the straight sword, creating a storm.

The enemy had to retreat, but because Lin Zhiyu's speed with the storm was not very fast, it seemed that for the enemy, all they had to do was shrink back and wait for Lin Zhiyu to use up all his strength.

until a certain moment.

"drink!"

Lin Zhiyu no longer just danced with his arms spinning, but also rotated his body a circle.

Lin Zhiyu spun around and swung his sword across.

“Swish~!”

The fiery red airflow that was originally whistling around Lin Zhiyu suddenly turned into a fiery red tornado and swept out at an extremely fast speed!

Please leave the same rules as before and I will update later

Woohoo, my idiot roommate dragged me to a buffet and we drank so much wine. Now I’m still groggy when I get home, and I used up all my saved drafts a few days ago.

Then, as usual, I will make up for it later. Apart from anything else, the readers who have been following the book till now should all know that I am good at making up for it (.oˇ?ˇo.)

Chapter 65 Storm Attacks!

Mengliu Cave.

The Lost Knight, holding a halberd in his hand, took heavy steps, cautiously and slowly, and came to the deepest part of the cave.

In the dimly lit and humid cave, there was a smell of iron - it was blood!

This cave was originally the hideout of a group of thieves, but now, all of them have turned into emaciated corpses, lying motionless on the ground.

No attempt was made to call out with words the enemy lurking in the shadows.

Norwich knew it was useless.

So at this time he just stopped where he was and concentrated on observing and sensing everything around him, trying to find the banshee lurking in the darkness.

However, less than a minute had passed, and before Norwich could discover the Banshee's hiding place, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"Tsk tsk! I never thought that the legendary Storm Knight, who could defeat a hundred enemies alone, would actually abandon his soldiers and desert the battlefield."

Playing with the "Statue of the Ominous Young Son", Lin Zhiyu swaggered to the deepest part of the cave and appeared in a position only ten meters behind Norwich.

Norwich turned towards Lin Zhiyu, his face completely covered by the helmet, with an expression more solemn than ever before.

Call him the Storm Knight or the Lost Knight, given his status, he certainly wouldn't be a deserter like Lin Zhiyu claimed. Greg's mission was to capture a murderous, soul-sucking banshee, but he prioritized the task given by his lord. To prevent the banshee from escaping during the chaos, he entered the cave while everyone else was fighting Lin Zhiyu.

What Norwich didn't expect was that Lin Zhiyu was so strong and could take care of the people outside so quickly.

That’s nearly a hundred well-trained soldiers, including several knights personally appointed by Greg!

In addition, because of his own caution, Norwich was very careful after entering the cave and moved forward slowly.

So he had just reached the deepest part of the cave for a while when Lin Zhiyu followed him in.

At this moment, facing Norwich in the air, Lin Zhiyu once again took out the Knight Sword of Kalia and put away the statue of the Ominous Son.

[Statue of the Ominous Child]: A statue of a cursed child. All ugly, hard corners have been removed from this child, and most children have died as a result. This statue is used for worship. Infusing it with magical power unleashes a multitude of resentful spirits that relentlessly pursue and attack all nearby targets.
