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

Chapter 249 The Final Collision

Click!

The Mizuzu Sword struck Rokuroku's forehead with the force of a hammer blow.

In that instant, even though the skull of the skeletal swordsman was enhanced by demonic energy, it was still slashed open with a crack.

Roar!
Rokukai roared again, and with brute force, used a cross-shaped slash to push Yeming's sword out.

Swish!

It freed its two-handed swords and forcibly knocked the girl away.

Ye Ming was thrown into the air by the violent force. Her petite body could not withstand the blow. Her body and hands were helplessly thrown backward, unable to counteract the rebound force. She flew violently hundreds of meters away and rolled to the ground.

However, this move definitely dealt a heavy blow to Rokushaku. After making this move, its knees hit the ground and it knelt down.

Click.

It's like the gears of a clock that had stopped turning starting up again.

The next instant, the realm where time had stood still collapsed.

—The end was also released in that instant.

Yoru and Rokukai returned to the real world.

"Cough cough..."

As Ye Ming was thrown back, she groaned and tried to get up. In her blurred vision, she found that she and Rokumi had moved into the old city during the battle.

The aftershocks of the battle nearly destroyed the ancient city.

On the other hand, the battle just now happened so fast, it happened outside of the timeline, so when the battlefield shifted, everyone else was left on the periphery.

"...I've figured out the trick."

She burst into laughter.

The Sword Saint sealed the "Eye of Heavenly Awakening," suppressing her power, but also enabling her to comprehend the mysteries of the Limitless Realm.

The old swordsman Kifune Kyouunzai was right; the Eye of Heaven's Awakening was too powerful, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

"With the Eye of Heavenly Awakening, I am basically unable to comprehend the ultimate realm... Even if I managed to do it once before, it was only an 'imitation,' not a true understanding of its subtleties..."

The ultimate realm cannot be reached through shortcuts. It is essentially a profound martial arts realm. Even if the Heavenly Eye can see through it, it cannot fully comprehend its profound mysteries.

This is a secret that cannot be comprehended without honing skills such as swordsmanship and spearmanship, and only at the peak level.

"However, the limit also has an advantage: once you have completely crossed the threshold, it is not difficult to open it again."

Ye Ming raised her sword again, her eyes fixed straight on Rokuroku.

The monster also knelt down; it was clearly badly injured—or rather, it was already covered in wounds before this.

It would be strange if Liu Hai didn't collapse to the ground, given his severe injuries.

At this moment, the crimson armor that the skeletal swordsman was wearing shattered. After a series of fierce battles, the armor was torn to pieces, revealing the skeleton inside.

However, on the chest of Rokukai, where dozens of strangely grown sternum bones guarded the center like fangs, there was a glowing sphere.

"That... is a spirit core!?"

Ye Ming's eyes widened.

She recognized it; it was the spirit core of the skeletal swordsman, Liu Hai. The core emitted a bluish-white phosphorescent light, just like the demonic aura swirling around the monster.

The Spirit Core – originally a powerful being among humans, who, through special training, learned the technique of sealing spiritual energy within their bodies to create a second source of power.

And now, what she saw was that the monster Rokukai had also mastered the operation of the spirit core, and it had also condensed a spirit core within its body.

No, this may not be a simple spirit core; it could very well be a flaw in the Six Bodies.

Its extraordinary endurance and unusual demonic aura likely stem from this spiritual core.

'Was that armor meant to conceal this? Anyway, without the Heavenly Eye, I wouldn't be able to detect this weakness.'

That must not be an ordinary suit of armor.

The armor worn by Rokukai should have the property of concealing one's aura; otherwise, a demon hunter with keen senses or someone with high-level spiritual vision would be able to see it.

However, Rokushiki is also an exceptionally powerful demon swordsman. Its swordsmanship is so superb that ordinary people cannot even touch a hair on its head during battle—of course, it doesn't have any hair at all.

"That's why the Sword Saint sealed my Heavenly Eye of Awareness; once I regained the power of that eye, killing it wouldn't be difficult."

Ye Ming finally understood this.

At the same time, Liu Hai felt a sudden chill on his back. However, he was seriously injured and could only use a bone sword to stab into the ground to keep from falling.

"However, it seems you still have the will to fight."

Yoru noticed that Rokukai also raised his skull head, and deep in the black eye sockets was a blue-white light reminiscent of will-o'-the-wisps.

Unfortunately, I won.

Ye Ming pointed the tip of his knife at the other person.

She decided to enter the "End" again.

Although both sides are experts capable of reaching the limit, no matter how hard Liu Hai tries to maintain his current state, it is impossible for him to reach the limit again.

Then the odds of winning are definitely on our side.

Once you reach the end, completely destroy the enemy.

However, as soon as she raised the knife to her brow, her whole body began to convulse in a strange manner, and blood flowed from her ears, nostrils, corners of her eyes, and corners of her mouth.

What's going on... Ye Ming then realized that his condition was no less than that of Liu Kuai.

She almost forgot that entering the Limitless Realm also consumes a great deal of energy from the user, and that she herself had only just learned how to enter the Limitless Realm.

Just like someone learning to scuba dive for the first time, they are often not skilled and often expend a lot of energy or deplete the air in their lungs too quickly during the dive.

Ye Ming's situation was like this; she had consumed a lot of vital energy and her body was on the verge of its limit. However, her tense nerves led her to make a wrong judgment.

Naturally, she collapsed at that moment.

Six Bones reached the same conclusion; the Skeleton Swordsman would not miss this opportunity. It gripped its bone greatsword and took a sudden step forward.

The blade in his hand swept over with lightning speed.

"Don't even think about doing anything reckless!"

Fifty firebirds attacked like cannonballs, transforming into fireballs. These "warheads," burning with crimson flames, plummeted straight down, causing explosions on the sand.

The flames engulfed the six bones, and the final, deadly move was interrupted.

"Little Yeming, are you alright?"

Behind Yomei, Kagaya Tomoe, Matsudaira, and Saizo arrived. The trio followed the aftershocks of the battle and found Yomei.

"It's nothing." Ye Ming was seriously injured. He stopped mid-sentence with a painful cough that sounded like he was vomiting, as if he was coughing up blood.

"Don't worry, I'll heal you with a talisman first."

As a spellcaster, Kagaya Tomoe also affixed several spells to her body.

Matsudaira gave a low shout, and three huge puppets emerged from the sand, but unlike before, they were made of sand.

The three towering puppets strode towards the center of the battlefield.

Boom boom boom!

On the other side, the talismans launched an attack that nearly caught Rokushiki in, nearly blasting him to pieces by a swarm of firebirds.

Fortunately, the monster leaped up, channeling power into its feet, and flew out of the sea of ​​fire beneath its feet. Not long after it advanced, the flaming vajra also crashed down from the air.

Kurohime Miyuki also locked onto the target, and the technique of clairvoyance was shared through telepathy, allowing Jujou Jimaika to launch an attack beyond visual range.

She released the Vajra, which rose into the air like a rocket, calibrated its target, and flew from a distance, like a missile, locking onto Liu Hai's position.

The skeletal swordsman raised his blade and swung it. The blade, which was of astonishing length, flashed by and cleaved the vajra in two.

The vajra, split in two, slid apart and fell behind it, crashing into a sand dune, where it exploded and shattered.

As it landed, it jumped once, twice, three times, as if it were flying across the ground, speeding across the sand at lightning speed, moving away from the explosion behind it.

The sand puppets summoned by the old man Matsudaira stretched out their hands, and three huge sand palms slammed down.

The twin swords flew through the air, and the air exploded along with the three puppets, sending countless grains of sand rushing towards Rokukai.

Ignoring such petty tricks, it suddenly swung its sword, the blade flashing across the front. This strike could have killed Kagaya Tomoe, Matsudaira, Saizo, and others, and even finished off the immobile Yoake with a single blow.

Unfortunately, the slash missed its mark. The skeletal swordsman realized that he had missed his target. He could only feel the blade cutting through the air, but he did not feel any flesh or blood being cut.

It crossed the sandstorm and "saw" only an empty ground and a glowing teleportation array stuck to the sand.

After Yanagi and the others arrived, they quickly took the person away.

Swish!
Liu Kui also moved in an instant. Before anyone knew it, dozens of jet-black spears flew over, and the skeletal swordsman wielded his longsword in mid-air, deflecting the chaotic spears with his bone greatsword.

drink!
One of the jet-black spears was deflected and caught by a hand. It was Bai Jie's figure. He gripped the spear tightly and thrust his spear at the skeletal swordsman.

The skeletal swordsmen retaliated, their blades clashing with their spears. Both fought and moved swiftly, realizing this was the final battle and unleashing their ultimate techniques.

Despite being in such a disadvantageous situation, Rokukai's sword techniques remained perfectly fluid. In the previous battles, it had faced the combined attacks of the crowd, Hyakusuke's fierce offensive, and Yoru's increasingly sharp attacks.

In this kind of combat, it has clearly made further progress, knowing how to relieve the pressure on its opponent by making subtle adjustments to its movements, footwork, balance, and posture.

Ultimately, Hyakusuke had to retreat again, and despite his fierce attacks, Rokuroku still maintained the upper hand.

As soon as he stepped back, the cross-shaped slash of the twin swords nearly cleaved him into pieces, forcing him to rotate his spear to defend.

With a loud "bang".

The black spear shattered, the impact so strong that his feet were almost lifted off the ground.

Fortunately, Hyakusuke reacted quickly, gripping the ground firmly with his toes, but was pushed backward by the force.

At that very moment, just as Rokurokushi was about to advance and launch an attack, a blade suddenly emerged from his chest.

The blade pierced the skeletal swordsman's soul core with remarkable precision.

The skull turned, and Rokukai seemed to turn his head blankly to look behind him, only to see a woman dressed as a priestess standing behind him, her right hand holding a silver knife that had deeply pierced its spirit core.

Walking Shrine Maiden Fuyutori.

She appeared on the battlefield silently, and in the instant that Rokukai exposed his weakness, she pierced his spirit core with her sword.

--when?
How did you do that?
In that instant, Rokukai couldn't understand what was happening; it didn't observe the world using its five senses like a human.

Such a monster can use its demonic energy to sense everything around it, so it reacts to every subtle fluctuation in the outside world.

However, it was completely unaware of the sneak attack from behind.

boom!
Without hesitation, Liu Hai released a wave of demonic energy, causing the air around him to explode as if it were exploding.

Dongying groaned. Although she was prepared to take a hit, she was still blasted away by the force.

She was thrown into the air, but she was prepared, holding a small box in her right hand.

"Break the Heart Barrier! Activate!"

Dongying shouted in her heart, and a mysterious fluctuation was about to be released from the small box.

Buzz…!
As the blade trembled, the bone sword held in Rokukai's right hand swung out, drawing a perfect arc, and the box containing the "Heart-Breaking Barrier" was cleaved open in that instant.

At the same time, the power contained within this bone sword also cleaved through the power that broke through the Heart-Breaking Barrier.

The six bones instinctively sensed that the box contained some kind of power that posed a great threat to it. It immediately concluded that it must eliminate this thing.

This strike achieved the same effect, with all the power contained in the slash focused on destroying the box, even ignoring the shrine maiden Fuyutori behind her.

"what?"

Dongying's pupils suddenly contracted.

The first strike from Rokukai destroyed the box.

The second slash was unleashed. If the first slash was to eliminate the "threat" in the box, the second slash was a deadly blow, meant to end Dongying's life completely.

"Don't think about it!"

A roar erupted.

Time once again stood still.

—Yes, Hyakusuke accelerated his own time once again.

His figure moved forward swiftly, the jet-black spear piercing through the void, its target locked on Rokukai's back.

Bai Jie felt as if his internal organs were bleeding, his brain was churning and twisting, and his eyes were about to burst from being so bloodshot.

He once again forced himself to enter the "End," forcibly entering this realm.

The Six Bones also sensed this at that moment. The skeletal swordsman reacted miraculously in time, and at that moment it too entered the realm of its limit.

Fighting spirit and killing intent intertwined, the wills of the strong clashed, and the twin swords and spears thrust at each other.

This was also the last collision.

boom!
To outsiders, no one could see what happened in that instant. An explosion occurred in that area, and the shrine maiden, Fuyuki, was pushed away by a force and fell to a safe position.

A sandstorm erupted, and when it all subsided, everyone saw Hyakusuke empty-handed, and a skeletal swordsman lying on the ground with only his lower body remaining.

Liu Hai is dead.
