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

Chapter 245 Success? Too early.
After falling together from the realm where time stood still, Hyakusuke and Rokukai continued their fierce battle, sparks flying from their fists and blades.

Hyakusuke was bleeding from a wound on his shoulder, inflicted by the Sword Storm Slash unleashed by Rokurokushi wielding six swords.

He still had several wounds on his body, all remnants of the previous battle.

There was no way he could emerge unscathed from a battle with Rokukai.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Six long, sharp blades unleashed a fierce and torrential attack, stirring up sand and dust from all directions and creating a massive sandstorm.

Visibility was immediately obscured by the sandstorm, and the figure of the blade and the six skeletons disappeared into the swirling sand. The skeletal swordsman unleashed a strange attack, as if it had vanished without a trace in the sandstorm, yet a faint killing intent locked onto Bai Jie.

shhhhhhhh!

Countless slashes came rushing in from all directions, their attack points hidden in different locations. This was the Skeleton Swordsman's offensive, which he unleashed by using the sand to conceal his figure.

Hyakusuke ran without hesitation; being trapped in the sandstorm would only make him vulnerable to an ambush by his opponents.

He leaped nimbly, dodging the blades beneath his feet, twisted his neck to avoid the attack from behind, and his figure shot out like an arrow, dodging the blades that came from all directions like comets.

'So far, I've been at a disadvantage.'

As Hyakusuke fled, he pondered this in his mind. He was far from winning; he was merely being suppressed by his opponent. In fact, his attacks had not even caused any real damage to Rokurokumo.

"We must change our tactics. If we continue fighting like this, I have virtually no chance of winning."

hum!
A blade stopped on the left side of his head.

The knife could have easily struck, but it was caught between his hands.

"Accept!"

Bai Jie slammed his right foot into the ground, causing a sandstorm. Countless grains of sand were accelerated by spiritual energy and turned into a barrage of bullets.

The blade was swiftly withdrawn, and in an instant, the Six Bones entered the "Stop".

Its form was almost the same color as the sand and dust, and even its armor changed, as if some kind of chameleon-like superpower was at work.

The skeletal swordsman pushed off with his right foot, shifting his position and attacking from the right with a lightning-fast slash.

In an instant, a total of six swords transformed into a dense net of slashes at superhuman speed.

Clang!
At the same time, Hyakusuke sensed the danger and quickly entered the area where time had stopped.

"Go!"

He swung his left wrist, and jets of dark energy shot out from his fist, spreading out into dozens of strips like bandages. This was also a fighting technique he learned from Zenzang; the "Demon King Style" used by that fist master contained a similar method of manipulating bandages.

However, he used the energy of ghosts and gods to condense into a long strip of cloth. With a twist of his wrist, the bandage swirled into a vortex, deflecting the six ever-changing blades.

If it were someone else, they would have been caught off guard by the Skeleton Swordsman's fighting style in an instant, but Bai Jie still managed to deflect it, and all six blades were deflected.

The black cloth strip, radiating both the glint of swords and the aura of ghosts and gods, exploded, the shattered pieces of cloth moving like streaks of light, and the black energy began to condense into a long black spear.

Bai Jie stretched out his palm tightly, gripped the spear, and continued his fierce battle with the skeletal swordsman. His right hand held the spear, which was formed from the energy of demons and gods, and he unleashed a thrust.

suddenly--

Bai Jie changed the battle tactics.

The unexpected attack transformed into lightning, piercing towards the skeletal swordsman's vitals.

The metallic sound exploded.

The samurai sword deflected the spear, and the attacks from both sides clashed, the ear-piercing sound of metal colliding accompanied by bursts of sparks spreading all around.

The powerful impact caused the two figures to involuntarily take a few steps back, but Bai Jie launched a second wave of attacks before the skeletal swordsman could react.

He threw the spear in his hand, and the skeletal swordsman swung his samurai blade, causing it to explode with a loud bang.

The attack was forced to stop. The human and the demon also withdrew from the realm of limits and returned to the real world.

boom!
The violent explosion formed by the aura of the demons and gods also engulfed the figure of the Six Bones in the black shock. The latter turned its body to the right, and with a sudden movement of its bone wrist, it released a slash.

The space seemed to have been sliced ​​open.

Bai Jie tilted his head to avoid the attack. It was a slash that could cut through the atmosphere. The blade energy slashed for thousands of meters before disappearing into the distant sand and dust, leaving a low, cracking sound.

"good chance……"

Hyakusuke looked somewhat tired. His tactics involved a variety of offensive maneuvers, sometimes using guns and sometimes switching to his fists, all to make it difficult for Rokumi to adapt to his attack style.

The strength of a master swordsman lies in their control over the factor of "distance," as the attack distance of fists and feet differs from that of swords, spears, and daggers.

This is something that swordsmen need time to understand and adapt to, and Hyakusuke never gave his opponent that chance from beginning to end.

The aura of the spirits and demons allows him to generate different attack methods, from a black spear to a disc that can make long-range attacks, and even his own fists. Every time he changes his fighting style, Liu Hai has to adjust his combat methods to adapt.

While he dodged the Sky-Piercing Slash, Bai Jie seized the crucial moment, pushing off with both feet to quickly shorten the distance between them.

At that moment, the blade on the skeletal swordsman's right skeletal hand snapped. This precious sword, forged from pure, flawless jasmine steel with rice-branch-like patterns, was broken into tiny pieces.

This first-generation Hizen Tadakichi sword is considered one of the rarest and most famous swords. Furthermore, it was infused with powerful demonic energy by Rokushaku, making it a peerless demonic sword.

"drink!"

Having lost the Demon Spear, Hyakusuke was once again left with nothing but his bare fists, yet in that instant he unleashed both of his fists.

His hands were armored by the power of the great demon Mephisto, which made his clenched fists a hundred times harder than steel.

Bang!
He struck his gauntlet, sending sparks flying—a signal for a fierce attack.

The six bones discarded the broken sword, and the remaining five arms held up the blades in their hands, assuming a defensive stance.

boom!
The first punch was unleashed, followed by the second, third, and fourth, sparks flying and a series of metallic clanging sounds echoing through the venue.

A fist as hard as diamond clashed violently with a black iron sword in the void, producing a deafening roar and sparks flying everywhere.

Hyakusuke's attack was a bit hasty, inaccurate, and lacked power.

However, it was very fast, which is crucial because speed is extremely important for Hyakusuke at this point. Only a continuous, uninterrupted attack can completely destroy Rokumi's exquisite swordsmanship, leaving him only able to compete with himself in speed.

"No!"

That's not the point.

There is an even more important point.

Bai Jie continued to accelerate wildly, his fists attacking like lightning. Suddenly, with a cracking sound, another treasured sword in Liu Kuai's hand shattered and exploded into pieces.

That's right, that's one of his tactics: not to attack the swordsman Rokushaku, but to target the sword in his hand.

It turned out that the seemingly mis-aimed and not-so-heavy attack was actually aimed at the sword that Rokusha had swung.

This is a very clever calculation. Admittedly, even if the Six Corpses is an invincible entity, the six swords it wields are not.

Previously, after fighting with him for a period of time, Hyakusuke judged that Rokurokushi did not have any high-level weapons, such as the Mizutsu Sword or the Shinseou Sword.

The swords wielded by this skeleton swordsman were all of grade B, and some of them were even made of ordinary iron. These ordinary iron weapons were commonplace, not specially crafted, and did not use any spiritual materials; they were not the kind of items capable of slaying vengeful spirits or monsters.

"The average level is similar to the seven-section gun I used in the past..."

As for the other three blades, which are all C-grade, they were probably left behind by some exorcists in the past, or they might have been stolen from the hands of the people killed by the Six Skeletons, since there are rumors about this monster stealing other people's swords.

Moreover, Hyakusuke also discovered that only one of the knives was of extremely high quality, almost reaching C+ grade.

This skeletal swordsman is indeed formidable in combat, but unfortunately, he is a swordsman born from the dead and corpses, and in order to unleash his power, he must rely on swords.

After fighting with him for a while, Hyakusuke immediately realized that even though Rokurokushi was a master swordsman, he could not perform the magical sword techniques that the Sword Saint used, turning an ordinary fishing rod into a divine sword.

'Rokukai's swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, it still falls short of the Sword Saint Kibune Kyōunsai. His demonic energy can also enhance the swords in his hands, but there are still limits.'

Bai Jie concentrated on his thoughts and came to a conclusion.

He could destroy the swords in Rokurokushi's hands, thereby weakening the monster's combat power.

A swordsman's strength mostly lies in his sword; without a sword, his combat power will definitely be weakened.

No matter how advanced its technology, once the remaining blades are destroyed, it's finished!

A strange light flashed in Hyakusuke's eyes, and in that instant, Rokurokumi, whose two swords had been broken, still stubbornly thrust out the sword in his hand.

This guy hardly changed his fighting style, and didn't change his advanced tactics at all despite losing two swords.

It merely accelerated its attack, the sword light shooting out like lightning.

Hyakusuke's feet were firmly planted on the ground. He clenched his fists and focused all his senses.

Not letting go of any sound, not letting go of any breath.

He enhanced his five senses, and even the faintest, almost inaudible sounds reached his ears, while his muscles sensed the approaching danger.

call out!
The tip of the sword was held between his two outstretched fingers.

Despite his deadly thrust being completely anticipated, Rokushaku remained calm.

It then launched another attack, which was deflected by Bai Jie's backhand.

The skeletal swordsman's skull-faced man opened his mouth slightly, intending to pull back the blade that was being held between his fingers and begin a flurry of blows, but he stopped.

Because the sword was held between Hyakusuke's index and middle fingers and could not be pulled out.

The next instant, with a soft snap, the blade broke off.

Hyakusuke broke the sword in two with a very decisive move.

"Take the move!"

At the same moment he broke the sword, he took a step forward and unleashed a powerful punch. Boom! It was like the deafening sound of compressed air exploding, shaking the very atmosphere.

In an instant, the chest armor of Rokukai was impacted; the attack almost pierced through it.

The impact, followed by the sound of armor cracking, was repeated. Rokukai was sent flying, crashing to the ground without even being able to withstand the blow. This was the first time Hyakusuke had achieved an overwhelming victory in their duel, sending Rokukai flying more than a hundred meters away with a single strike.

"Get up!"

Hyakusuke took a step forward, and after his first strike landed squarely on Rokurokumo, he was filled with confidence.

He's destined to win this battle.

"You... shouldn't be so easily defeated, Rokuroku!"

As if to confirm his words, the sand dunes in the distance exploded, and a shadow like an arrow shot over.

……

"Did you make it?"

Meanwhile, in a mountain cabin outside the desert, Yuki-onna Narcissus is using a secret method to observe the great battle in the Tottori Desert by scooping water from a basin.

The images of Hyakusuke and Rokukai battling were revealed from the clear water.

At this moment, Hyakusuke finally made contact with his opponent with his fist, sending the skeletal swordsman flying with a heavy punch.

"Success is still a long way off."

Inside the wooden house, a calm yet aged voice suddenly rang out. It belonged to the Ainu elder, Sword Saint Kibune Kyōun-sai, who was lying on a straw mat with his head resting on his fist.

"As things stand, those brats haven't yet witnessed the true power of the Six Bones. For it, this is merely a warm-up."

The old man chuckled coldly.

"Liu Hai is a disciple personally trained by me. He is not so easy to deal with. If you think that a half-baked fighting style can win... then I can only say that the little guy from the Zi Yue family is too naive."

"is it?"

Although the Snow Maiden Narcissus was killed by Rokurokumi with a single strike, it was merely an illusory clone created by her using the spell of Marici, similar to an illusion created by ice and snow.

She had been following the Sword Saint Kibune Kyōun-sai for some time, so she naturally had some understanding of Rokukai's strength and was very clear about this monster's temperament. Naturally, she would not risk going alone.

no way.

Rokukai has already mastered the "Stop".

Faced with such a formidable foe, even a great demon like the Snow Maiden and Narcissus, who had spent a long time cultivating Buddhist esoteric practices, would not have much of a chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

"However, this will probably become a harsh trial for those young people, won't it?"

……

Hyakusuke threw another punch.

This time, his judgment was wrong.

The slash that came flying at him was far sharper than he had imagined.

He failed to deflect the knife with the armor on his fist.

The outer part of his right fist was cleaved open, the fist, fingers, skin, muscles, and bones were all smoothly cut apart.

Blood spurted out as well.

Bai Jie was shocked. His right hand, from the outside of his fist to his elbow, was sliced ​​open by a sharp slash, revealing bloody muscle texture.

The figure of Rokukai moved behind him.

The skeletal swordsman had a large hole in its chest, but it wasn't seriously injured. It casually swung a blade, spilling the blood from it onto the sand.

"What happened with that stab?"

Hyakusuke's expression darkened slightly, a very bad premonition creeping over him.
