Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

Then, she quickened her pace towards the shore, but because she was seriously injured, her steps were as staggering as the strange man who had just emerged from the water.

Perhaps because she was too anxious to leave this place, Saeko accidentally fell into the dark red swamp.

She supported herself on the ground with her hands, and the water covered her forearms.

She tried to stand up again with her hands and feet, but the pain in the wounds submerged in water intensified at this moment. It felt like burning fire and needles, and she clenched her teeth in pain, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

So she quickly opened her personal information panel and looked at the remaining redemption coupons - 8.

"I hope eight points of endurance can help me get through this." Thinking of this, Busujima Saeko then bought attribute points and added all of them to endurance.

So her personal information panel was updated again:

Power: 60

Agility: 80

Stamina: 58

Spirit: 30

Equipment: Katana-Sinner Slash

Voucher balance: 0

Talents & Skills: Snake Body, Giant Devouring Demonic Poison, Supernatural Vision

[Spiritual Snake Body - Physical fitness is slightly improved in all aspects, and the body's agility and flexibility are significantly improved.]

[Giant Devouring Demonic Poison - A skill that combines the abilities of the spider spirit Xinfu Luo's "Giant Spider Venom" and the snake spirit Fengji's "Giant Snake Venom." This toxic force emanates from the hands, which can be compressed into poison arrows and fired, or used to enchant weapons and create a toxic sword aura.]

[Supernatural Vision - A supernatural power from the Taimanin universe; vision is greatly enhanced, allowing nighttime vision. By concentrating intently, one can roughly discern the energy flow within a person, and even, to a certain extent, their future fortune. Furthermore, one can temporarily fixate a target by consuming a significant amount of mental energy.]

……

With eight points of endurance added.

It's like the upper limit of health has been increased, and there is an extra amount of health out of thin air.

Busujima Saeko's condition recovered a lot in an instant.

This allowed her to successfully exert herself to stand up again, but her body was still covered with scars. Only a very small number of shallow wounds healed quickly, and the rest of the wounds were still bleeding.

There was a burning pain on these wounds that didn't go away, and this painful feeling was spreading from the outside to the inside, to other parts of Busujima Saeko's body.

She had clearly stood up again, her feet stepping towards the shore in the dark red swamp.

But she felt that her condition was still deteriorating, and slowly even her throat began to become dry and painful!

"No, I'm... I'm poisoned?"

After walking for a while, Busujima Saeko slowly realized that her wound might have become infected due to the bad environment here.

She had long realized that the deadly poison contained in the dark red stagnant water under her feet had probably already penetrated her body through the wound!

Also, I'm sorry, the place where Saeko is should be called "Ionian Swamp", not the "Corruption Lake" mentioned above - this is another area in the game. I confused the name of the area and only realized it when I was writing this chapter.

Chapter 19 Night Battle

Night falls.

In Gale Fortress, Lin Zhiyu lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.

One reason is that there are too many distracting thoughts in my mind, and I have been thinking about flame magic.

Secondly, he was also feeling unwell. His head was dizzy, his hands and feet were numb, and his throat was dry and burning. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't fall asleep at all.

"Master, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want me to give you another massage?" Li Meifeng sat on the edge of the bed and said to Lin Zhiyu with concern.

You have to know that she and Lin Zhiyu are in a master-servant relationship with their souls bound together. If Lin Zhiyu died, she would definitely be implicated, so she cares about Lin Zhiyu one thousand percent.

But Lin Zhiyu really didn't need Li Meifeng's service now, so he shook his head slightly and said:

"No, it's so late, you should go back to your room and rest."

Li Meifeng thought this was a good opportunity to show her loyalty, so she sat by the bed and refused to leave no matter what, and she had a good reason:

"The master is sick now, so someone has to stay here, right?"

Lin Zhiyu continued to shake his head, "Aren't you afraid that I might suddenly lose my mind and attack you?"

"Even if I can't beat the master, can't I still run away?" Li Meifeng said with a smile.

Then Lin Zhiyu got up from the bed, and reached for the cup of water on the bedside table with a slightly trembling hand.

Li Meifeng immediately picked up the cup of warm water and handed it to Lin Zhiyu.

After Lin Zhiyu drank the water to moisten his throat, Li Meifeng took the cup of water and put it back on the bedside table. She pointed to a few pills placed on a silver plate on the cabinet and said to Lin Zhiyu, "Why don't you take some more of this medicine?"

Lin Zhiyu's eyes fell on the pills that Li Meifeng pointed at, and he shook his head.

"It's useless. This putrefactive moss medicine can only slightly alleviate my symptoms. It's a waste to use it on me. It's better to leave it to someone else."

The so-called decaying moss medicine is a large pill made from moss collected from caves where decay is rampant. The pill is pink in color, resembling a moldy ball, and its surface is covered with a large amount of hair, making it nauseating to look at.

This medicine is indeed useful in treating scarlet corruption.

But only for treating mild symptoms of scarlet corruption.

For example, a person's hand is cut shallowly by a knife, and the wound accidentally comes into contact with something that has been stained with scarlet and rotten.

Then you just need to bandage the wound quickly and take anti-moss medicine, and you will be safe.

Lin Zhiyu's situation is much worse.

He was fighting with Aegis at the time, and his entire body was completely enveloped by Aegis's breath of corruption, with countless corrupt particles invading his body.

After a large number of corrupt particles entered Lin Zhiyu's body, they quickly spread to all parts of Lin Zhiyu's body and even invaded Lin Zhiyu's brain. Otherwise, Lin Zhiyu would not have lost control for a short time during the day.

At this point, the medicine for rotten moss is no longer effective!

"It would be nice if everything was the same as in the game. In the game, eating Corruption Moss Potion will definitely cure the Crimson Corruption state, but this is actually just a setting made to serve the gameplay."

"Logically speaking, if the Corruption Moss Potion was truly that effective, Latarn wouldn't have turned into a mad dog, wandering the battlefield ruins all day long, gathering and gnawing on the long-rotted corpses."

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyu was even a little worried that even the healing fire would not be able to cure his scarlet corrupt state.

But when I think about it carefully, I realize that I am just worrying too much.

After all, the healing power of flame, based on the principle of "high temperature kills germs", can indeed completely eliminate the scarlet corruption.

……

"Master, you should take some of this medicine. Even if it can't cure your disease, it can at least alleviate your symptoms and make you feel better!" Li Meifeng felt that it would be a waste for Lin Zhiyu not to take the medicine, so she persuaded Lin Zhiyu again.

Lin Zhiyu shook his head again and told Li Meifeng that Corruption Moss Medicine was an absolute rarity in the current Gayleid. It wouldn't be of much use to him, but it could save those mildly infected with the Scarlet Corruption. It should be left to the Red Lions.

The three Red Lion Knights had originally conferred upon Lin Zhiyu after finding these Corruption Moss from the already limited stockpile at Gale Fortress. They were well aware of the scarlet corruption and knew it was a waste, but they still chose to give it to Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu only tried taking one of these corrupt moss medicines when they were first delivered to him, and found that the effect was better than nothing, so he decided not to continue taking them.

Seeing Lin Zhiyu sitting on the bed with a pale face, obviously in a very bad condition, but unwilling to take medicine, Li Meifeng was very worried that Lin Zhiyu would suddenly fall ill and die, but she could not think of a way to help Lin Zhiyu solve this problem, so she could only complain:

"It's all because of that Taimanin! If she had supported the master earlier, perhaps all this trouble wouldn't have happened!"

Lin Zhiyu shook his head and said:

"The appearance of that corrupted dragon was beyond all of our expectations. Uehara-sensei was at Gale Fortress. After seeing the dragon from afar, she was able to rush to my side and help me in the battle. It was already a great achievement. How can I blame her?"

"Hmph." Li Meifeng was unable to refute Lin Zhiyu, so she curled her lips, still looking dissatisfied with Uehara Rin.

Actually, she and Uehara Rin didn't have any grudges against each other. But now, both she and Uehara Rin were Lin Zhiyu's servants. During this journey, Lin Zhiyu had obviously paid more attention to Uehara Rin, which naturally made her feel a little unhappy.

Especially when Lin Zhiyu and Aegkis were fighting before, Uehara Rin handed Theresa to Li Meifeng, and without asking Li Meifeng's opinion, he rushed out of Gale Fortress directly.

Li Meifeng also wanted to help Lin Zhiyu at that time to show her loyalty, but she couldn't just rush out with Theresa or leave Theresa alone, right?

Li Meifeng knew that Lin Zhiyu cared deeply about Theresa. Whether she took Theresa into danger or abandoned her, she would definitely be blamed by Lin Zhiyu afterwards. Therefore, Li Meifeng was even more upset with Uehara Rin for throwing this question to her.

And then, before Maggie Cheung could express her dissatisfaction with Uehara Rin to Lin Zhiyu, she could not express her dissatisfaction with Uehara Rin.

"Squeak~"

The half-open door was suddenly pushed open gently.

Lin Zhiyu and Li Meifeng looked over and found Uehara Rin standing at the door, and Theresa holding hands with Uehara Rin.

"I was wondering why I suddenly felt like sneezing when I walked over here just now. It turns out someone was saying bad things about me behind my back." Uehara Rin stopped at the door, staring at Maggie Cheung.

"Heh." Li Meifeng sneered and did not argue with Uehara Rin.

Rin Uehara was too lazy to argue with Li Meifeng, so she came in with Theresa and walked to Lin Zhiyu's bed.

"Why are you two here too? You're not sleeping so late at night, are you?"

"It's little Theresa. She tossed and turned and just wouldn't sleep. She insisted on coming to see you."

"Oh? Isn't Theresa afraid that her brother will suddenly go crazy and eat her?"

Lin Zhiyu sat on the bed with his back against the wall, pretending to be fierce as he faced Theresa.

There are still bloodshot eyes all over Lin Zhiyu's eyes, which looks a bit scary.

Theresa subconsciously shrank her head, but then the little girl climbed onto the bed, sat next to Lin Zhiyu, put her hand on Lin Zhiyu's forearm and said, "Theresa, don't be afraid! Theresa is blessed with good luck! Now Theresa will pass on the good luck to brother, and brother will get better soon!"

It turned out that the little girl still remembered her special ability as a "lucky girl" and thought that if she stayed close to Lin Zhiyu, perhaps Lin Zhiyu would be blessed with good luck as well as her.

At this time, Lin Zhiyu originally wanted to rub Theresa's head, but because he didn't want Theresa to have close contact with a corrupt patient like himself, Lin Zhiyu changed his action and patted Theresa's shoulder instead, asking Theresa to get out of bed and telling Theresa that it would be bad if she got infected.

After that, Lin Zhiyu gave Uehara Rin a look, indicating that Uehara Rin should take good care of the person.

So Uehara Rin bent down and tried to hug Theresa away.

However, Theresa held Lin Zhiyu's arm tightly, refusing to get out of bed, and looked aggrieved.

Rin Uehara didn't want to use too much force on such a child, and for a moment he really couldn't take Theresa away from Lin Zhiyu's bed.

"Okay, Theresa, be obedient. It's getting late, so go back to bed!" Lin Zhiyu could only persuade Theresa with a smile.

"I don't want to..." Theresa lowered her head.

So Lin Zhiyu asked Seresa again, what exactly did she want to do? She couldn't possibly want to sleep in the same bed with her brother, right?

After hearing what Lin Zhiyu said, Theresa immediately raised her head and looked at Lin Zhiyu with shining eyes.

Unexpectedly, what he said casually seemed to have really hit the mark of what Theresa was thinking. Lin Zhiyu was at a loss for words and could only say to Theresa:

"No, my brother is a patient now and can only sleep alone."

"Then, then brother, can you tell Theresa a story again?" The little girl sat on the bed close to Lin Zhiyu, looking up at Lin Zhiyu with her big eyes full of expectation.

Lin Zhiyu had told Theresa the story of the Star-Breaking General Latan before, but he didn't expect that the little girl seemed to be very interested in these stories.

So Lin Zhiyu thought about it and said to Seresa, "After the story is over, Seresa must go back to bed with Sister Lin, okay?"

"Okay!" Theresa nodded continuously.

Then Lin Zhiyu was about to tell the story about Marennia, the Valkyrie from the Holy Snowfield in the north of the border area.

But at this moment, there was suddenly some commotion outside, which faintly came into the room.

Lin Zhiyu frowned and looked up at Li Meifeng.

Li Meifeng understood and immediately walked out of the room to investigate the situation.

Theresa was still looking at Lin Zhiyu expectantly, but Lin Zhiyu felt uneasy at the moment, so he whispered to Theresa, "Wait a moment, just a moment, wait until Sister Feng comes back and then I'll start telling the story."

"Oh, so Sister Feng also wants to listen to brother's stories?" Theresa said naively.

After a while, Li Meifeng returned to the room and told Lin Zhiyu as soon as she entered the room that it seemed like someone had come from outside and was attacked by the Red Lion soldiers.

At this time, the commotion outside had not subsided and was even getting more intense.

Lin Zhiyu immediately realized that the people from outside must be very powerful and were not easily captured by the Red Lion soldiers.

"Do you know the identity of the person who came?" Lin Zhiyu asked Li Meifeng.

Li Meifeng shook her head and said:

"It was too dark outside, and that person was so fast. He dodged here and there during the fight, so I couldn't see him clearly."
