Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

This slash did not cause devastating damage to the symbiote. The one who suffered the most was Mike De Santa, who was wrapped in the symbiote.

The hand that Black had used to pass through Mike De Santa's chest and emerge from behind him was now covered in a mixture of black mucus and red flesh.

"Ugh... Mike! Shit, I'm going to kill you!"

The symbiote roared, then punched Black in the face again.

This time, the sandbag-sized fist that the symbiote threw out was covered with a layer of dark red light.

"Buzz!"

Unfortunately, the result is the same as before.

The punch, which doubled in power due to rage, was still blocked by an invisible force field.

"Hmm? This is the bloody evil energy of those Oni warriors..." Looking at the rapidly fading dark red light on the symbiote's fist, Black narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Interesting, really interesting. Besides parasitizing and fusing with humans, it can actually absorb the abilities of other life forms."

As the words fell, Black withdrew the hand that had pierced Mike De Santa's body, and at the same time released a powerful suction force in his palm again.

The symbiote covering Mike De Santa's body instantly began to wriggle, making a "wuuuuuu" sound. After struggling for a while, it shrank rapidly and gathered at the bloody hole in Mike De Santa's chest. Finally, it turned into a black ball and was sucked away by Black, floating on the palm of Black's right hand.

After losing the symbiote, Mike De Santa suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath with a look of horror, but he felt that the breath was not smooth, and his chest was so painful and cold!

"Mike..." The spherical symbiote in Black's palm barely managed to call out.

Mike De Santa slowly lowered his head, and when he looked at his chest, he realized there was a bloody hole in it.

"you……!"

Bang! Mike De Santa stared at Black with resentment and resentment, but before he could even finish his words, he lost his strength and fell to the ground, his breath gone.

"Mike...!" The symbiote cried out again in Black's hand, its voice filled with grief and anger.

Black looked at the symbiote, which he had forcibly gathered in his palm in the form of a black sphere, with great interest.

He had a premonition.

This magical life form that he forcibly collected will definitely come in handy in the future.

Chapter 39: Prelude to Overthrowing the Iron Witch

Astaroth's BBQ restaurant.

When Lin Zhiyu, Ingrid, who had straightened her clothes but still had a blush on her face, and Ai Xiushanshan returned to the table, the waitresses in the restaurant

The food is already being served.

Among the various delicacies, the only thing that customers need to prepare themselves is barbecue. With Astaroth's help, it is prepared as soon as it is served on the table and can be enjoyed immediately.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Returning to his seat, Lin Zhiyu exclaimed in admiration as he sat down.

Even though almost every female member of the family present was looking at Lin Zhiyu with strange eyes, Lin Zhiyu did not seem embarrassed at all. He was even the first to pick up a piece of barbecued meat with his chopsticks when no one else had started eating.

However, Lin Zhiyu did not put the piece of barbecue in his own bowl, but gave it to Lani who was sitting on his left.

"Humph."

Lani looked down at the barbecued meat that Lin Zhiyu put in her bowl and showed no intention of eating it.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyu leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Don't be angry, you'll be one of them next time."

"You...!" Lani turned her head and glared at Lin Zhiyu, then angrily picked up the barbecue in the bowl with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it hard, as if to vent her anger.

"Not bad, you can use chopsticks so skillfully." Lin Zhiyu said with a smile.

However, with Lani's talent, she saw how he used chopsticks just now and learned it immediately, so Lin Zhiyu would not find it strange.

Then Lin Zhiyu started to pick up dishes for other people. As the table was too big, it was impossible for Lin Zhiyu to stretch his hands very far to put the dishes into the bowls of people who were far away from him. So Lin Zhiyu simply walked around, which was not troublesome at all and did not favor one over the other!

The ones who behaved most noticeably in this regard were Bayonetta and Aixiu. The former asked Lin Zhiyu to feed her without any shyness when he picked up food for her. She also covered the chopsticks with her mouth while eating, seductively sucking away the food on the chopsticks, and then gave Lin Zhiyu a mischievous look.

Aixiu, on the other hand, picked up some food for Lin Zhiyu and told her to eat quickly and stop struggling. She looked like she really cared about Lin Zhiyu, which made Lani and Astaroth, who had been unhappy with her for a long time, frown.

Lin Zhiyu walked around the large, put-together dining table and decided not to sit down, instead dining on the go with his bowl and chopsticks. Since most of the people present were his women, and those who weren't yet, they would probably be soon, Lin Zhiyu wasn't at all reserved, acting completely casual.

Of course, this also had something to do with the lack of a turntable on the assembled dining table, so everyone sat in their seats and could only eat the dishes in front of them. Lin Zhiyu ate idly, eating casually and mainly helping others with food. This frantic behavior didn't really improve others' impressions of him, but it had unknowingly made everyone at the table accustomed to interacting with Lin Zhiyu in front of others.

For example, Aniloz and Lina, who had never had sex with Lin Zhiyu before, were initially quite reserved when Lin Zhiyu served them food. However, after Lin Zhiyu came a few times, they were able to accept it calmly and calmly.

This kind of thing is like a group sport; the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Take the Taimanin like Jinghe Ying, Mizuki Shiranui, and the others. The next time Lin Zhiyu wants to fight them in a group, the chances of success will definitely be much higher than the first time.

……time flies.

After the dinner was over, some people quickly stood up and wanted to leave.

For example, Igawa Sakura and Omine Nana, but Uehara Rin and Mizuki Shiranui showed no intention of leaving. When these Taimanin had different ideas, Lin Zhiyu walked between Igawa Sakura and Omine Nana, put his left and right hands on the shoulders of the two women, and whispered:

"Sakura, Nana, you don't want to be deserters and abandon Uehara-sensei and Mizuki-senpai, right?"

So Igawa Sakura and Omine Nana immediately turned their eyes to Uehara Rin and Mizuki Shiranui.

But Uehara Rin and Mizuki Shiranui were looking elsewhere at this time, pretending not to notice the gazes of Igawa Sakura and Omine Nana.

Uehara Rin has been in the same boat with Lin Zhiyu for a long time.

And Mizuki Shiranui...

"Young man, you don't know the good of being a villain when you are young." - This is probably what Mizuki Shiranui was thinking.

Before she met Lin Zhiyu, she had been a widow for many years.

Although I really don't want to say this.

But deep down in her heart, she actually felt that there was nothing wrong with staying with Lin Zhiyu, not to mention that their original mission was to help Lin Zhiyu deal with Black!

What is this called?

This is called balancing public and private interests!

But there were also other people who said goodbye and left without waiting for Lin Zhiyu to persuade them to stay.

"I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. If you need my help later, please ask Aixiu to contact me. She knows my contact information."

It's Annie Lotz.

She didn't know why Lin Zhiyu wanted to keep so many women present after the dinner, but she felt that it must not be a good thing. In addition, she felt that she was an "outsider" and was far from close to Lin Zhiyu. Being able to sit until the end of the dinner was already the limit, so she left quickly after saying goodbye.

For this reason, Ai Xiu walked to Lin Zhiyu and whispered to him:

"Go after her! This is a great opportunity!"

Lin Zhiyu blinked and thought that Aniloz should just follow the main group, so he wanted to chase after them.

Before leaving, he passed by Mizuki Shiranui and Uehara Rin, and pinched the two women's plump buttocks with his hands, and whispered to them quickly, "Keep an eye on Sakura and Nana."

After walking out of Astaroth's barbecue restaurant, Lin Zhiyu followed Anneloz's scent and quickly walked through the street.

Until he finally saw Aniloz's back. When they were about thirty meters apart on the street, Aniloz suddenly turned into an alley. Lin Zhiyu quickly followed her in, but he didn't see Aniloz's figure immediately after entering the alley.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

Suddenly, Aniloz's voice rang out above Lin Zhiyu.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyu looked up and saw Anne Lloyds standing on the edge of the top floor of the building next to him, looking down at him.

"The first time we met was in the back alley of a bar in Amidahara. You were just like you are now, looking down at me from the rooftop, and the first thing you did when you jumped down was to fight with me." Lin Zhiyu said with interest.

Aniloz, standing above, raised her lips into a faint yet charming smile. She then unsheathed her weapon—the katana known as the Kongo Yasha—and pointed it at Lin Zhiyu below, saying:

"Earlier at Astaroth's barbecue restaurant, my full-strength attack on you was just an attack with all my strength, but my real strength is not my strength."

The implication was that Aniloz had been somewhat reserved before, perhaps not wanting to cause too much trouble in Astaroth's shop. But now, given the current situation, she no longer had to worry so much.

"So, you want to repeat the situation and fight with me again, really going all out to test my current strength?" Lin Zhiyu said to Aniloz with a smile.

Anneloz nodded and said, "You won't be afraid of fighting, will you?"

Lin Zhiyu smiled and nodded slowly, then said:

"I have no problem fighting you again, but it feels a little off. How about we make a splurge? If I can't defeat you in five minutes, I'll promise you something. And if I defeat you in five minutes, you'll have to promise me something. How about that?"

"... Beat me in five minutes? Humph! You conceited fellow!"

Feeling looked down upon by Lin Zhiyu, Aniloz did not respond to Lin Zhiyu's suggestion to add a gamble. She immediately jumped down from the roof with her Vajra Yaksha raised high, intending to chop Lin Zhiyu down from the sky!

"Hoo~!"

Listening to the whistling sound of the wind brought by Aniloz's descent from the sky, Lin Zhiyu stood still and took out the Sword of Night and Fire from the system space. This decision made Aniloz deeply realize what it meant to look at someone with new eyes after three days of absence!

Chapter 40: I am the Armor Hero Snow Mastiff!

"clang!"

The sound of bright metal clanging rang out in the long and narrow alley, and Aniloz's sword dropped from the sky, slashing onto Lin Zhiyu's Sword of Night and Fire.

It is clearly from a high position, with unstoppable force.

But Anneloz's attack did not shake Lin Zhiyu's body at all.

Lin Zhiyu raised his sword to block, then pushed upwards with force, easily knocking Aniloz away.

"Dong dong dong..."

Pushed by the huge force, Aniloz flew out and maintained her balance in the air with her agile body. Her feet stepped on the wall beside the alley continuously, and she completely dissipated most of the force by flying over the eaves and walls. Finally, she landed safely at a position seven or eight meters away from Lin Zhiyu.

"What a terrifying power!" Annelozzi was shocked. She remembered that when she fought with Lin Zhiyu before, although Lin Zhiyu's strength was also very strong, it was still within her ability to withstand it. She didn't expect that Lin Zhiyu's strength had increased so much now!

Then Aniloz looked up at Lin Zhiyu and found that Lin Zhiyu, who was originally wearing daily clothes, had changed into a set of silver-white armor with animal patterns.

"This outfit is really impressive..." Anneloz looked at Lin Zhiyu with a serious expression and exclaimed in admiration.

Lin Zhiyu held the sword in one hand and performed a sword flower, then said playfully:

"Isn't it impressive? This is the Snow Mastiff Armor. I'm known in the martial arts world as the Armor Hero Snow Mastiff!"

Well, let me be honest.

The beast-gathering armor on Lin Zhiyu is indeed somewhat similar to the snow mastiff armor in "Armor Hero".

The only difference is that the genuine Snow Mastiff Hero uses an axe and double drumsticks, while the fake Snow Mastiff Hero Lin Zhiyu uses a sword.

"Hmph, you're so proud of yourself just because I praised you so casually!" Aniloz had no idea what Armor Hero was. Although she couldn't see Lin Zhiyu's smug face under the helmet at this moment, just the smug tone of Lin Zhiyu's voice made her want to pin Lin Zhiyu down and fuck him hard.

So she immediately took the initiative to attack again, rushed towards Lin Zhiyu and stabbed him with her knife.

Japanese swords, especially tachi, are different from traditional "swords" in that they can be used for stabbing.

Anne Lorze was fast and powerful.

Lin Zhiyu wanted to play with her for a while longer, so when Aniloz was about to hit him with a knife, he suddenly burst into speed, jumped back, and easily avoided Aniloz's attack.

Seeing this, Anilozzi's lips curled up slightly, outlining a confident smile.

The next second, from the tip of Vajra Yaksha's knife, a large number of blood-colored threads transformed from karma entangled with each other and rushed towards Lin Zhiyu like a drill bit.

Unexpectedly, Aniloz could suddenly extend the attack distance like this. Lin Zhiyu swung his free left hand vigorously.

"Shua~!"

An invisible wave suddenly erupted in front of Lin Zhiyu, instantly shattering the countless blood-colored threads that were rushing towards him.

This is the skill "The Weak Retreat" that Lin Zhiyu had previously learned in the Elden Ring World, also known as "Rejection", a move similar to "Heroic Body Protection".

However, Aniloz's offensive was simply wave after wave.

Lin Zhiyu had just neutralized her attack by retreating as a weakling, and then she rushed out from among the large number of blood-colored threads that were shattered by Lin Zhiyu and jumped at Lin Zhiyu's forehead.

"Hoo~!"

The next second, just as Aniloz was about to chop Lin Zhiyu with a knife, Lin Zhiyu's figure turned into smoke and disappeared.

Dragon Thunder Phantom! Disappear from the spot, then reappear next to the enemy, launching a powerful combat skill with an additional red dragon thunder attack!

In an instant, Anneloz's hair stood on end, and her premonition of crisis drove her to turn around and strike without thinking.

"clang!"

Lin Zhiyu appeared behind Aniloz, the sword of night and fire in his hand wrapped in red lightning, and collided with Aniloz's Vajra Yaksha.

The swords clashed, and the red lightning wrapped around the blade of the Sword of Night and Fire spread along the blade of Vajra Yaksha to Aniloz's body, but at this time Aniloz's body surface was glowing with a layer of dark red light, which helped her effectively resist the invasion of lightning.

I have to say that Aniloz is still very powerful. As a chosen one who has signed a contract with the ancient god Vajra Yaksha Myo-o, her strength is not inferior to Ingrid who wields the evil flame. Can we say that she is worthy of being one of the "protagonists" in the Taimanin universe?
