Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game.

Chapter 228 Magic Costume·Thousand-Eyed Peacock
Before Hyakusuke's attack could even land, the shockwaves around Totsujou Maika suddenly formed a wall of light.

As he rushed over, his right fist struck with all its might, but it missed its target.

Bang!
The ferocious attack was blocked by the wall of light, and the barrier shattered, scattering a large number of transparent light spots.

Shitori took a step back, her hair fluttering. However, layers of light continuously rose from her body—blue, crimson, green, and black—forming a five-element barrier.

However, every time it lit up, it was instantly shattered.

'An A+ grade item... a Five Elements Barrier Amulet, that's really extravagant!'

In an instant, Bai Jie could tell that Wu Hua was hiding a set of luxurious amulets, an A+ grade item that could only be obtained from a specific location in the late game, called the Five Elements Barrier Amulet.

This entire set of amulets has a one-time effect; its purpose is to gather the power of the five elements and create a protective barrier to counter enemy attacks.

Theoretically, it could reach the level of a curse-reversal barrier. Hyakusuke's fist didn't even manage to break through it, but Jujou Maika must have been quite hurt by the impact of this power.

She grinned, and several fiery weapons, resembling fangs of fire, unleashed a ferocious attack from all directions.

"This is?"

Hyakusuke had no choice but to stop his attack. Bat-like wings sprouted from his back, and he spun around to dodge the eight rocket-like attacks.

It was a gigantic vajra, incredibly thick, with an extremely sharp tip and flames spewing from its tail, relentlessly pursuing him through the air. They transformed into countless fire-breathing behemoths, attacking his figure.

Hyakusuke's armor generated jets on its back, spewing out intense demonic energy, which caused him to jump twice in the air and flip backward.

This allowed him to avoid the continuous attacks from behind by the vajra, and even gave him the opportunity to smash the flying vajra with his bare hands.

boom!
He kicked out with his right foot, shattering the first vajra into pieces, and then smashed the other vajra with a backhand punch.

The other three vajras rushed over like arrows, but he dodged them like a bent lightning bolt.

With skillful movements, Bai Jie guided the two vajras to collide. Then, as he spun around, he spread his wings and moved, once again condensing a black spear, which shattered the remaining vajras one after another.

Almost at the same time, the Sword-Armored Guardian Child turned his head at this distance, his four bright red eyes coldly staring at Bai Jie.

"Oops!"

Hyakusuke's awareness was a beat slow.

Careless.

It's hard to dodge!

His gaze caught a ray of radiating lightning and flame erupting from the giant steel maw, a torrent of energy surging forth. The attack was unimaginably powerful.

Everything around exploded; it was an attack combining lightning and flames, seemingly capable of causing an explosion upon contact with any material.

While this attack cannot compare to the nuclear-flame-like "Ultimate Dragon Breath," it should not be underestimated. If one were to be hit head-on by such an attack, the result of being reduced to ashes would not be hard to imagine.

boom!
The moment the attack struck, blinding light filled the air.

But after the blast dispersed, a glowing, multicolored sphere floated in the sky thousands of meters away.

"so close!"

A powerful demonic aura emanated from Bai Jie's body, and five-colored light condensed, which was the "Myriad Blossoms Sealing Realm Heavenly Dog Path Nirvana" bestowed upon him by the Great Demon Mephisto. Although this power was not complete, it was enough to protect him in his current stage by relying on this spherical barrier of five colors and ten lights.

"Mephisto, you've been a great help."

Bai Jie didn't really like demons, but the existence of this hellish dimension had indeed saved his life.

"Hehe! Before repaying that man Ziyue Shi, human, don't die so easily..."

The demon inside the ring cackled. It wouldn't allow Bai Jie to die now; at least until it avenged its arrow wound to Zi Yue Shi, this person still had value.

"Also, have you forgotten something?"

The great demon Mephistopheles did not forget to remind Bai Jie.

"You did absorb my power, which is my demonic power (demonic energy) as a high-level demon... You don't think this power is just used as a defensive barrier, do you? Even if you can't fully unleash the effects of 'Myriad Blossoms Sealing Realm Heavenly Dog Path Nirvana,' you can't just squander it like this, can you?"

"Yes."

Bai Jie roughly understood what Mephistopheles meant.

He did understand Mephisto's thoughts, but initially he didn't intend to consider them that way. After all, this was the power of the demon Mephisto, and using it always gave him a somewhat uneasy feeling.

—How pretentious! What's there to consider now...?

Bai Jie cursed himself in his heart.

"Then give it a try."

He took a deep breath, and the five-colored barrier began to shrink—

However, this power did not disappear, but gradually converged on the black armor, which caused the original darkness to be gradually stained with a layer of gorgeous and dazzling multicolored magic patterns.

"Magic Costume: Thousand-Eyed Peacock."

The armor on Bai Jie's body underwent a strange change. The swirling "peacock eyes" on the five-colored barrier gradually disappeared into the shining magic patterns on the armor, and those patterns flowed like glowing blood.

His head also formed a helmet like a peacock crown. Bird wings spread out, and in the blink of an eye, layers of feathers covered his head, forming an exquisite helmet.

At the same time, the armor covering the body gradually transformed into a strange material that was neither mineral nor metal, with colorful magic patterns floating on it and swirling "eyes".

This is the change that occurred to Hyakusuke's jet-black armor after he fully absorbed the power of the demon.

He could sense that this was a transformative power that came from within.

In addition to the armor covering his body, the power of the demon Mephisto is further intensifying the changes in his body, soul, and will, causing even deeper transformations.

This is a change that is close to the level of "evolution," and he himself can feel it. As this change intensifies, he is one step closer to the realm of "non-human."

"That's why I don't want to delve deeper into demonic power; I've never wanted to go in that direction."

Bai Jie murmured to himself.

But now that things have come to this, he has no other choice.
