Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

As Lin Zhiyu said this.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Patch, who had been standing next to him and had not left, suddenly seemed to be feeling uncomfortable and squeezed his throat.

Lin Zhiyu therefore looked at Patch.

Patch immediately straightened his back and raised his head, waiting for Lin Zhiyu to praise him.

At this time, Lin Zhiyu's gaze passed over Patch and looked at Saeko and the other three.

"My three female companions are all very skilled and possess unique skills. They will definitely have no problem surviving the upcoming battle."

After Lin Zhiyu finished speaking, Blaze nodded slightly and asked Lin Zhiyu, "What else?"

Patch stood aside and his throat seemed to suddenly feel uncomfortable again, making a "cough cough cough" sound again.

Lin Zhiyu acted as if he hadn't heard it. He turned his head and looked at Blaze, then made his final judgment:

"In fact, the people I mentioned earlier can only barely block Latarn's attacks. If we really want to defeat Latarn and kill this Star Shattering General, who is known as the strongest demigod, I think it can only rely on two people."

"Oh? Then these two are..."

"That's you, Blaze, and me, Lin Zhiyu. I believe everyone who has come to today's battle festival is a strong person. But when it comes to heroes, there are only you and me."

As the words fell, Lin Zhiyu smiled.

Being looked at by Lin Zhiyu with a smile, Blaze suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It was obvious that he and Lin Zhiyu had just met.

But why did he have a feeling that he had known this person for a long time?

Chapter 41 The Festival Begins

Time passed quickly.

Today, the sky in Galid turned dark early.

Like a mirror, the entire sky was dark red as it reflected the land of Gaileyd, which was eroded by scarlet corruption.

Finally, the battle festival is about to begin.

Under the walls of the inner city of Red Lion City, Lin Zhiyu, Blaze, Alexander and other powerful men, totaling about a hundred people, all gathered together at this time.

On the city wall, the city lord, Jie Lian, swept his eyes over all the powerful men who came to participate in the battle ceremony, and then shouted:

"Warriors! Welcome!"

"It's time! General Ratan, the most powerful demigod in the Shattered War, awaits you!"

"Warriors! Go and fight!"

"Defeat the powerful enemy with honor and claim the Great Rune!"

"I hereby declare—the battle festival has begun! The Latan Festival has begun!"

At the end of his words, Jie Lian raised the weapon in his hand, a flame-shaped sword. His loud voice echoed throughout the inner city, arousing the fighting spirit of countless people present!

I don't know who started it, but someone let out a high-pitched roar.

Then more and more people followed suit and roared, their roars filled with fighting spirit.

Jeremiah, standing high above, and the Red Lion soldiers standing guard nearby, saw it all. Despite such an exciting moment, they didn't feel excited amidst the roars. Instead, a sense of sadness welled up within them.

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

To the east of Galid, there is a large sandy area facing the sea.

Back then, Marennia led the Sacred Tree Legion to Gaileed and fought a great battle with the Red Lion Legion of Latarn. The main battlefield of that war was on this vast sandy land.

Everyone knows what happened next.

Latan, having endured the "nuclear explosion" at close range, became a half-dead, mad demon. But before being completely consumed by the crimson corruption and losing his mind, Latan actually did something... though it wasn't a vain attempt to exorcise the crimson corruption that had already penetrated his bones.

This "Star-Breaking General" knew that he was being corroded by the scarlet corruption and would eventually turn into a crazy monster.

So when he still had a shred of sanity... he cut off his own foot.

On that sandy ground.

The once "strongest demigod" drew a line on the ground to form a prison, turning the entire battlefield ruins into his own prison.

And after falling into madness.

Latan would collect rotten corpses from all over the battlefield ruins, and devour them like a wild beast, without distinguishing friend or foe. Sometimes he would even howl to the sky, making a sound that sounded like an animal's roar, but also seemed to contain a trace of sorrow.

The sandy area where Latarn is located is named "Weeping Dunes" for this reason!

just now.

"Tick, tick, tick, tick..."

On the sandy ground with flying yellow sand, a skinny horse, carrying Latarn, who was several times its size, walked with difficulty step by step.

Deeply eroded by the scarlet corruption, Latan can no longer maintain the gravity magic perfectly to reduce the burden on his mount as he did in his peak state.

Until one moment, the skinny horse under his crotch finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground exhausted.

If it was Latarn who had never been eroded by the scarlet corruption, he would definitely be very concerned about the condition of his beloved horse at this time.

But now Latan is full of animal nature.

He was dragging several rotting corpses.

When the horse was too tired to move, he bent down and began to gnaw on the corpse.

It is hard to imagine that General Shattering Star, who was once full of vigor and was known as the strongest demigod, has now become like this.

After a while, the corpses on the ground were almost eaten up.

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, Latan raised his head and saw at a glance that in the distance, at the edge of the sand, there were more than a hundred people appearing and running towards him!

Looking at this scene, Latan's originally cloudy eyes seemed to light up for a moment.

Then he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.

"Roar!!!"

And after the whistling ended.

General Shatterstar took out the large bow hanging on his back.

……

Through the portal that had been built long ago in Red Lion City, Lin Zhiyu and hundreds of other powerful men all arrived at the Weeping Dunes at once.

As the site of a historic war, this stretch of sand is littered with broken weapons and rotting corpses covered in armor.

Latarn is very large, several times the size of an ordinary person.

Even though this stretch of sand was so vast, Lin Zhiyu and the others could see Latan from afar.

Latan, who was just bending over to gnaw on the corpse, raised his head and saw Lin Zhiyu and the hundreds of others.

"Latarn's archery skills are unrivaled. If so many of us stand together, nothing good will happen! Everyone, disperse!"

As soon as they arrived at this sand dune, Lin Zhiyu, who was quite experienced in breaking stars, didn't even need to say a word. Someone who knew Latan's abilities started shouting loudly in the crowd, reminding everyone.

Lin Zhiyu then instructed Busujima Saeko, Uehara Rin, and Li Meifeng beside him:

"You don't have to follow me relentlessly. Your primary goal is to dodge Ratan's ranged attacks and quickly get close to him!"

As soon as Lin Zhiyu finished speaking, Latan in the distance had already drawn his bow and arrow, with the bowstring fully drawn.

The fact that hundreds of people were able to cross most of Galid and reach Red Lion City proved that no one here was mediocre. At this moment, the originally gathered team of a hundred people was rapidly dispersing, but Latarn's shooting speed was even faster!

He was seen holding a large bow that was longer than the height of an average adult man, with a large arrow that was basically a crossbow arrow hanging on the bowstring. He then pulled the bow to its full extent at a 45-degree angle towards the sky - and let go!

Then, the big arrow split into countless "spears", which fell from the sky one by one and quickly approached the formation of the conquerors in a rectangular shape.

And because this spear formation that fell from the sky has a certain degree of tracking ability.

Many people were unable to dodge and lost their lives on the spot.

Lin Zhiyu broke away from the main group at an extremely fast speed. Although he had just said that they didn't have to follow him closely, at this time at least Saeko was able to keep up with Lin Zhiyu's pace thanks to her superior speed.

The two men distanced themselves from the spear formation that fell from the sky, and after a brief observation, they discovered that Latan had killed at least a quarter of their group with just this one move!

"Damn, the speed of this move is more than twice as fast as in the game!" Lin Zhiyu cursed in his heart, and immediately realized that the next battle would be more difficult than he had originally imagined.

Chapter 42: The star falls in the wilderness!

Lin Zhiyu still remembered that when he played games before, all of Latarn's ranged attacks were visible to the naked eye, giving him plenty of time to react. However, the reality was that the arrows Latarn fired were as fast as bullets, and their lethality was even more terrifying.

At the beginning, nearly a quarter of the attackers were eliminated by the "spear formation" that fell from the sky.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

This strongest demigod attached gravity magic to the big arrow, shot out precise and swift gravity arrows, and began to kill the rest of the people.

A Faded Man wearing heavy armor and holding a large shield had no time to dodge, so he chose to use his shield to block Ratan's gravity arrow. As a result, the thick shield was instantly shattered by the flying gravity arrow, and the man was instantly penetrated by the gravity arrow, leaving a terrifying hole in his abdominal cavity wrapped in heavy armor.

"What amazing archery!"

In a corner of the battlefield, Patch, who was taking advantage of the situation, saw this scene, so he secretly made up his mind to slow down his pace.

Humph~ What's the point of rushing so fast?

Are you in a hurry to be shot as a target?

However, among the many crusaders, only Patch would think so.

None of the others who chose to participate in the battle festival were there for fun. They were all seeking glory or the great rune of Latarn, and they were all mentally prepared to lose their lives.

“Ahhhhhhhh! The blood and flesh in my body are boiling! Go, go, go!”

The warrior Alexander charged towards Latarn at full speed, but because of his body structure, his speed was actually very slow.

Having said that, at least a dozen of the invaders were clever and chose to follow Alexander, so that Alexander, who seemed not so smart as a warrior, could serve as their shield.

The infantry and tanks worked together.

It seemed that he had noticed the small team led by Alexander.

Latan drew his bow, aimed at Alexander, and shot a gravity arrow!

Whoosh—bang!

In just a blink of an eye, the gravity arrow with purple electric light hit Alexander's body like a cannonball.

The huge warrior pot was instantly knocked back and fell to the ground.

Several crusaders following Alexander had no time to dodge and were crushed to death on the spot by this huge and heavy warrior pot.

Seeing this, the others quickly dispersed.

Latan in the distance aimed at the group of people, drew his bow and arrow again - and shot!

The thick arrow did not have the purple electric light that symbolized gravity magic, but it split into dozens of arrows after leaving the string.

Sharp arrows scatter!

The remaining conquerors around Alexander were hit by arrows in panic and had no way to escape. Those with less luck died on the spot, while those with better luck at least had a hand or foot taken away by the arrows, making it difficult for them to continue fighting.

However, Latan's archery show ended there.

After the strongest demigod had killed nearly half of the attackers at a distance with his truly unrivaled archery skills, someone finally rushed to the distance to engage in close combat with him.

It was a flash of blue lightning.

“Sizzle~!”

Accompanied by the sound of flashing electric arcs, Rin Uehara, holding a pair of lightning swords in her hands, jumped onto Latan's back at the fastest speed she could reach while Latan was not paying attention.

The huge size means more attack surfaces.

Rin Uehara jumped onto Latan's back, held the two swords in reverse, and stabbed the two swords hard into the back of Latan's neck. This position was very tricky and was not tightly covered by armor or helmet.

Rin Uehara doesn't seek to kill with one blow, but to inflict severe damage!

"clang!"

The sound of the sword tip piercing into steel was heard immediately afterwards.

Uehara Rin's eyes widened in horror as she discovered that the lightning swords in her hands hadn't pierced Ratan's skin! The Star-Breaking General's skin was so dry and withered, like a crocodile's, that it was practically just a layer of scales!
