Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

Then she raised the steel pipe in her hand, spun around and knocked away Steluna's sword.

"clang!"

Steluna sank the tip of the sword to the ground, then bent over and held the sword with both hands, dragging the sword to chase Shiraki Meiko, and the tip of the sword kept sparking on the ground.

The injured Shiraki Meiko retreated several steps, and seeing that Steluna was still trying to press her advantage, she immediately swung the steel pipe back. Steluna raised her sword, and the longsword in her hand collided with Shiraki Meiko's steel pipe with a clang, leaving neither side gaining an advantage.

But as Steluna swung her sword upward, she also kicked up sand and gravel from the ground. Shiraki Meiko was blinded by the sand and tiny mosquito-sized pebbles, and her footing suddenly stumbled.

"Go to hell!"

Steluna raised her sword high and took this opportunity to chop off Shiraki Meiko's skull with one blow.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, Steluna slashed through the air with her sword. She only heard a whoosh sound, and then she found that Shiraki Meiko had disappeared before her eyes!

what's the situation?

Just as Steluna was confused, a large number of spectators in the stands protested:

"Damn! Where did that kid come from?! The winner was almost decided!"

"Isn't it a rule that no third party can interfere with the competition? How did the organizers let someone in?!"

"Hehe, interesting, now there's something interesting to watch~!"

……

Inside the field, more than twenty meters behind Steluna.

"You look like you need some help." Lin Zhiyu held Shiraki Meiko in his arms. The latter squinted her eyes, which were confused by the sand, and was still in a state of shock.

"You...put me down now!"

Soon, Shiraki Meiko came back to her senses and started to blame Lin Zhiyu in shame and anger.

Lin Zhiyu pursed his lips, as she wished.

But after putting the beautiful woman in his arms down, he said leisurely:

"These days, good people don't get rewarded. Even though I saved someone's life, I still get looked down upon."

After hearing what Lin Zhiyu said, Shiraki Meiko was stunned for a moment, and then she felt pain and itchiness on her face. The pain was because of the wound on her face, and the itchiness was because the blood from the wound was flowing down her face.

She subconsciously wiped her face, and half of it turned blood red. Only then did she realize that if Lin Zhiyu had not rescued her, she would have died under Steluna's sword.

"You..." Shiraki Meiko hesitated to speak.

Lin Zhiyu waved his hand and said to her carelessly:

"Hey! Don't thank me yet! Wait until I've dealt with this next problem, and then you can thank me properly!"

While saying this, Lin Zhiyu looked at Steluna who was not far away. The latter had turned around and discovered him and Shiraki Meiko.

And just in the direction where Steluna was, further away, from the entrance where the contestants were supposed to enter, a large number of fully armed arena thugs were filing out.

Lin Zhiyu interfered with the game and broke the rules.

The arena officials were in a state of nervousness after being disturbed by a certain "Kalia Knight" a few days ago. Naturally, they reacted immediately and sent people to kill Lin Zhiyu.

Otherwise, how could this arena have any prestige after being ridden on and shit on twice in just one week?

Chapter 27 Meiko's Heartbeat Accelerates

Looking at Lin Zhiyu who suddenly appeared in the scene, and Shiraki Meiko who successfully escaped death beside Lin Zhiyu.

Steluna wiped the blood flowing from her clavicle wound and said to Lin Zhiyu with hostility in her eyes:

"Who are you? You dare to interfere with the game? You don't want to live anymore, right?"

Besides the hostility in her words, there was actually a hint of fear in Steluna's eyes.

The fact that Lin Zhiyu suddenly appeared and saved Shiraki Meiko from her sword is enough to show that Lin Zhiyu is by no means a simple character.

Although she hated Meiko Shiraki, she was extremely angry when she thought that she might have a permanent scar on her collarbone. After all, women all love beauty.

But she was not blinded by anger, and did not intend to act rashly against Lin Zhiyu before she figured out the situation.

This time, Lin Zhiyu came as a spectator, so he didn't wear any armor at all. At this moment, he was wearing a classic and capable denim jacket and jeans. In Steluna's eyes, his clothes were the same as Shiraki Meiko's, both of them were "strange clothes".

"Who I am is not important and has nothing to do with you." Lin Zhiyu answered Steluna's question, but his eyes were fixed on the large number of arena thugs who were rapidly approaching him.

At this time, Vera jumped down from the stands, rushed to Lin Zhiyu, and asked Lin Zhiyu if he needed help, as if she was determined to fight alongside Lin Zhiyu.

Melina suddenly appeared beside Lin Zhiyu and asked Lin Zhiyu if he needed her to treat Shiraki Meiko?

In fact, the injury suffered by Meiko Shiraki was not serious, but since it was on her face, even if it was cured by normal medical means, it would probably leave scars, which was difficult for Meiko Shiraki to accept.

Her situation was similar to Steluna's; both had injuries on visible areas of the body not normally covered by clothing, leaving scars that were unsightly. Of course, if we were to truly compare, Shiraki Meiko's situation was definitely worse; after all, hers was practically disfigured!

"Well, then I'll leave it to you, Melina. You must completely heal Meiko, but don't leave any scars." Lin Zhiyu said gently to Melina.

Melina nodded slightly, then clasped her fists in front of her chest and offered a holy prayer.

"sough……"

In an instant, a small golden tree emitting golden healing light grew in front of Shiraki Meiko. The warm and brilliant light shone on Shiraki Meiko's face, instantly healing the sword wound on her face without leaving any trace!

"!!!"

When Steluna, who was not far away, saw this scene, her eyes widened and she stood there in a daze.

The arena fighters who were rushing towards Lin Zhiyu were also a little shocked at this moment. Whether it was Vera who suddenly entered the arena or Melina who had just created a "miracle", it was obvious that they were not easy to deal with...

At this time, Lin Zhiyu looked at Shiraki Meiko, and seeing that Shiraki Meiko was completely fine, Lin Zhiyu raised his hand and touched her face, smiling and said:

"Very good, no disfigurement, let's go!"

After saying that, Lin Zhiyu grabbed Shiraki Meiko's wrist and started walking outside with her.

Seeing this, Vera and Melina followed Lin Zhiyu and Shiraki Meiko.

The thugs in the arena hesitated for a moment before quickly stopping Lin Zhiyu and the others. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, pointed his sword at Lin Zhiyu and said, "You broke the rules and still want to leave? You must give an explanation for what happened today!"

"Rules? Those are for the weak." Lin Zhiyu ignored the arena thugs who were blocking his way, and then another red arc of electricity appeared on his left arm.

Under the astonished gaze of the thugs in the arena, Lin Zhiyu quickly condensed a naginata made of red dragon thunder in his hand.

"What explanation do you want?" Lin Zhiyu asked with a kind face, holding the lightning knife.

The arena thugs who were blocking the way suddenly broke out in a sweat, their eyes filled with fear.

Although this is a fantasy world with extraordinary powers, it is actually still a low-magic world as a whole. Lin Zhiyu can condense a naginata made of lightning with ease. The arena fighters blocking the road ahead are not fools, and no one wants to try the power of this lightning knife.

Shiraki Meiko was still a little dazed, and Lin Zhiyu's touch on her face and hand-holding made her feel completely stunned. But now, seeing Lin Zhiyu protecting her with the lightning knife in hand, her heart suddenly began to beat fast. Her mind couldn't help but recall the scene when Lin Zhiyu had just saved her from Steluna's sword and held her in his arms.

"Let them go! You can't stop them, and I don't plan to make a fuss about it..." Suddenly, Steluna's voice sounded faintly beside them, making the arena fighters who were in a dilemma breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone's eyes were now focused on Steluna.

Steluna looked at Melina, and finally focused her gaze on Lin Zhiyu.

"I only have one request, or rather, a plea." Seeing that Lin Zhiyu was the leader and could command the women around her, Steluna said to her, "Heal my wounds like the one with the white hair, leaving no scars."

The "white-haired" she was referring to was naturally Shiraki Meiko.

Lin Zhiyu did not refuse this, it was just a small favor.

Although Steluna nearly killed Shiraki Meiko, it was a life-or-death battle. Lin Zhiyu's rash action in rescuing Shiraki Meiko was already unethical, and if she still insisted on arguing with Steluna about it...

Isn't that just like the mentally retarded villains in some fantasy novels?

It's the kind of idiotic plot where one's own people can't beat the other in the ring, so they use their power to bully the other person and argue over every little thing.

No need, no need!

After a while, Melina used magic to heal Steluna's injuries.

"Thank you!" Steluna thanked him politely.

Lin Zhiyu was about to take his people away.

But at this time, more arena thugs, led by a mysterious veiled woman, rushed into the arena and blocked the exit.

The mysterious woman in a veil walked slowly in front of Lin Zhiyu, and said to Steluna in a sarcastic tone that the matter concerning the reputation of the arena could not be solved by Miss Steluna's words. At the same time, she looked at Lin Zhiyu, her eyes focused on the Dragon Thunder Naginata in Lin Zhiyu's left hand.

"Sir, we may have some misunderstandings. How about we talk somewhere else?"

"There's no misunderstanding. I have nothing to talk about with you. Please get out of the way and don't wear out my patience."

Lin Zhiyu had no interest in the mysterious woman's proposal. He guessed that she must be one of the key members of the arena's behind-the-scenes operation, but in his eyes, this was not a position worthy of attention.

"Sir, please don't make things difficult for me. You are doing this..." The mysterious woman looked serious and wanted to say something else to Lin Zhiyu, but she stopped halfway because she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

"Bitch! Stop seeking death! Are you going to kill all of us? Let them go!" An arena fighter who had been following the mysterious woman obediently suddenly raised his sword and put it on the woman's neck, yelling with bloodshot eyes.

The mysterious woman was stunned for a moment, then she tilted her head slightly to look to her side, and found that all the fighters in the arena were trembling, and some even squatted on the ground and sobbed with their heads in their hands, muttering something in a low voice. Anyway, they all looked like they were filled with fear.

"Now, do you still find it difficult?" A charming voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the mysterious woman.

At this moment, she saw a pair of vertical snake pupils, and the snake eyes turned into a pair of beautiful human eyes in an instant, followed by Li Meifeng's charming face, which suddenly appeared in the eyes of the mysterious woman.

Rin Uehara, Millicent, and Sayaka Saeki also appeared on the scene and came to Lin Zhiyu silently.

"After tonight, I will leave this island with my companions tomorrow morning. If you have any questions, you can ask the people behind you to come to me. If you are the biggest decision-maker behind this arena, then I advise you not to make trouble for yourself." Lin Zhiyu said lightly to the mysterious woman, then walked past the mysterious woman and stepped towards the exit of the arena.

Li Meifeng and the others immediately followed Lin Zhiyu's footsteps, and the group left without being stopped. At this time, all the fighters in the arena had been shocked by Li Meifeng's illusion and fell into a state of extreme fear...

Chapter 28: Conquering Steluna with a Sword

Lin Zhiyu did not lie.

The next morning, he took Vera and others out of the tavern, preparing to go to the dock to take a boat to leave the island and head to a new continent, a more prosperous place, to continue searching for the lost Busujima Saeko and others.

If it weren't for the addition of Shiraki Meiko, Saeki Sayaka, and Vera to the team, Lin Zhiyu wouldn't have needed to take the boat and could have just flown by himself, which would have been even faster. After all, he could always recall Li Meifeng, Uehara Rin, Millicent, and Melina and resummon them.

But taking a boat is also fine. To be honest, this seems to be the first time in Lin Zhiyu's life that he has sailed on the sea. It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is the fact, so it is also a novel experience.

Anyway, seasickness is definitely out of the question. With Lin Zhiyu's physique, even an earthquake wouldn't make him dizzy. And since he has a group of female relatives accompanying him, he definitely won't be bored during the journey.

But that’s all for later.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyu and others had just left the tavern when they saw Steluna running towards them at the door.

"Hurry up! Those bastards! They've gathered their forces to kill you!"

Before they met, from a long distance away, Steluna had already started yelling at Lin Zhiyu and others.

At this time, she was sweating profusely, and her sword was unsheathed and tightly held in her hand. A closer look showed that there was blood on the blade, which clearly showed that she had escaped through the encirclement.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyu narrowed his eyes, said nothing, and did not move.

Lin Zhiyu didn't move, and the others around him also remained silent.

"There she is!"

At this moment, at the intersection a hundred meters away on the avenue ahead, a large group of fully armed thugs, fighters and mercenaries turned the corner and emerged. One of them even threw a javelin at Steluna from a distance.

"Whoosh-!"

As the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air rang out, at the critical moment, Steluna's hair stood on end, and she rolled sideways completely out of instinct, thus narrowly avoiding the flying javelin.

"Crack!"

Then the javelin fell on the ground five meters in front of her, and the tip of the spear actually pierced into the hard concrete ground. It can be seen that if she was hit by this javelin, she would die on the spot!

"These bastards!" After brushing off the dust on her body, Steluna got up from the ground in a mess, looking angrily at the large group of enemies coming towards her. Driven by murderous intent, she subconsciously grasped the sword with both hands, ready to fight against the outnumbered enemy.

But before Steluna could attack, Vera beside Lin Zhiyu had already drawn a pair of daggers and was the first to rush towards the enemy.

"Swoosh!" Like a gust of wind, Vera passed by Steluna in the blink of an eye.

The incoming enemies numbered over three digits, filling the entire road ahead. They were armed with a variety of weapons, some wearing cloth and leather armor, others iron armor, and even full plate armor. Some were originally thugs working for the arena's operators, some were temporarily bribed to join the team, and some were hired mercenaries.

Among these people, there are many who are acquaintances of Vera.

But Vera was a lonely person with few friends, so she acted without any hesitation.

"Fuck them all!"

As Steluna watched in shock, Vera rushed into the crowd, her two blades in hand, and began to spin rapidly. With this movement, the two daggers in her hands burst into flames, and then her entire body turned into a whirlwind of fire, and wherever she passed, the enemies fell one after another!

"Tsk! She's so eager to show off. Should I call her smart? Or should I call her reckless?"
