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

Chapter 258 Hako-Oh Maru

After Kariyamaru's head was destroyed, the great demon's body began to slowly crumble. The areas where the black dust had settled suddenly became fragile, and its body shattered into fragments.

In just a few hundred seconds, Kariyamaru was reduced to a black sand dune without leaving a trace.

Even so, the people in the castle, the exorcists, and the general public cheered. The next step was to clean up and clean up the mess, which would depend on Mahoro's purification abilities.

call!
After defeating the enemy, Hyakusuke let out a soft breath.

He looked around, and beneath the dark sky, the black clouds created by the evil god had not dissipated.

The black dust was falling silently and steadily at that moment.

The phantom of the Celestial Cherry Blossom inside the city formed a protective force, a layer of light covering the sky.

Even amidst the previous chaos, Mahoro was protecting the castle. The pouring black dust couldn't get close; it would simply disappear as soon as it approached.

After catching his breath, Ye Ming looked at the damaged city buildings and his expression darkened.

From the previous city wall up to here, the battle left a clear and direct trail of devastation and ravages.

That was the route Kari-no-Maru had taken. The high walls were destroyed, the buildings were reduced to piles of rubble, the stone ground was broken, and some corpses crushed by Kari-no-Maru could still be seen.

"It will take a lot of time to restore this place."

Ye Ming sighed.

"Once the monster is driven away, everything can be restored."

Hyakusuke's tone was very firm.

"As long as people are alive, everything can be restored. Even if some wounds remain, they can heal with the passage of time... People must always put aside old feelings, let go of the heavy past, and move forward."

He thought there was still a lot to do: ensure roads, clear the rubble, bury the dead, treat the wounded, provide water and food to the refugees... After that, Hanhejiang City Museum had a lot to do.

"Gentlemen, please hurry up and make your second transfer to help the other side's defenses."

Maho Ryo spoke again.

'The demonic army is now launching a massive invasion, and their numbers are vast. Tendo, Katsuhiko, and Fumi have all already gone there. However, despite their numbers, they may not be able to defeat the enemy.'

Hyakusuke nodded. They had come to support Kasumi Castle, so it was only natural for them to help.

"So, where is the enemy commander-in-chief, the fierce god Kotancoro Kamui?"

He countered with a question.

No, I should say I'm worried.

I don't know.

Maho's voice was also full of doubt.

'The actions of the evil god Kotankolo Kamui are full of deception. Neither Yukiyasha-hime nor I can figure it out. It had previously seized an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but failed. After that, its whereabouts became even more elusive...'

This is an unpredictable enemy.

The guardian deity also conveyed the details of the deity's manifestation to Hyakusuke and Yoru in the form of images, written down in writing.

A mysterious girl dressed entirely in white.

'This guy, is he that vicious demon?'

Bai Jie's heart stirred.

The illustrations of the original work's evil god Kotancoro Kamui are completely in the form of a monster, a form that is almost like a human girl, which he has never seen before.

Of course, in reality, some details of the game differ from what he knows about "Oborozuki no Akechi," which is something he can understand now.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now.

Hyakusuke continued to listen to Mahoyoshi's explanation.

Previously, although the evil god Kotancoro Kamui had appeared a few times, her whereabouts were very secretive. Mahora lost track of her after several attempts.

'It's safe to say that the wicked Kotankolo Kamui must be plotting something, but unfortunately, I haven't yet found the key clue to that plot...'

Maho Ryo sighed.

"However, Kasumi Castle is fully prepared. After the last battle, it has been heavily fortified, so you don't need to worry about the situation here. The most important thing now is to strengthen our own defenses."

learn from mistakes.

After the last great war, Kasumi Castle's defenses have been further strengthened.

To achieve this, Mahora withdrew the spiritual power enhancement over the entire Dewa region and stored up his strength.

This was something that Yukiyasha-hime had reminded her of before: as a god, she should conserve her power as much as possible to prepare for the great battle to come.

In fact, ever since Hiiragi Hiruko subdued the Red Heavenly Tiger within her, Mahoro has been freed from the corruption and influence of the True Ancestor of Vampires since this constraint was eliminated.

This allowed the cherry blossom tree god to free up more of his energy and secretly store up his power.

In particular, Hiiragi Hiruko's functions as the "Great Priestess" have returned to normal, and she is also able to help this guardian god bear some of the pressure. Mahoro's condition can be said to have returned to its peak. In the past few days, he has gathered a huge amount of divine energy.

'With this power, we are not without a chance of victory against the fallen god-turned-fierce god, Kotankolo Kamui.'

The guardian god was filled with confidence.

This is because Princess Yukiyasha also decided to teach Mahoro the "God-Slaying Technique," a secret technique that only high-ranking deities among the gods and earthly beings could know.

This is the power that can defeat gods who descend to earth and cast them into the cycle of reincarnation, since most gods are immortal.

The God-Slaying Technique does not truly destroy a god, but rather banishes it from a certain perspective.

For high-ranking deities, being struck by a god-slaying spell imbued with sufficient power could lead to their downfall or even their fall from their divine throne.

As for the evil god Kotancoro Kamui, who is himself a fallen god, even if he doesn't die, he will be banished to the outside of time or restored to the origin of his own origin.

However, in the current timeline, this fallen god will completely disappear and will no longer be able to harm the world.

'However, my current power, even when condensed, is only enough for one strike...'

The guardian god, Maho, pondered in his heart.

Because it has only one strike of power, it absolutely cannot be used recklessly. Good steel should be used on the blade. This "god-slaying technique" must be used only at the critical moment.

"Gentlemen, please hurry to the other line of defense. Your strength will be truly effective there."

"I see."

Yoru nodded. "Hyakusuke... let's go together..."

……

At the same time, another castle, called Donggen Castle, was also being attacked by another demon.

This demon is named "Hako-oh-maru," and its appearance is exactly the same as that of Kari-oh-maru, who appeared in Hanagawa Castle. They are identical in size, build, and the color of the scales covering their entire bodies. Moreover, their actions are exactly the same.

The outer perimeter of the castle guarded by the Tendo family, including the reinforced walls and defenses, had suffered horrific destruction, reduced to a mountain of rubble. This was the result of the sudden attack by Hako-O-Maru, who smashed it with his claws.

Hako-maru wasn't fighting alone; he was leading the demon-wing army on the right flank of the Kasumi Castle's attack.

The half-human, half-owl demonic birds circled in the air, spewing flames.

On the ground were thirty or forty monsters that looked like a hybrid of spiders and oxen, burning, killing, and looting. They were monsters called Ox-Demons, and behind them was a group of several hundred domesticated mountain children.

The mountain children are small in stature, but they can use human weapons, and they can also make and improve their own weapons.

They took the swords and knives stolen from humans, shaped them to fit their own size, and then swung them into the crowd, cutting down soldiers and refugees who stood in their way one after another, indiscriminately slaughtering the humans inside the Lincheng Pavilion.

"What?! The Donggenguan shelter is on fire too?!"

When Tendo and Katsu arrived, they found that large areas of the city had been turned into a hellish landscape.

The warehouse located on the south side of the city, where nearly a hundred refugees lived, is now engulfed in flames.

Upon closer inspection, many will-o'-the-wisps or "fireballs" were seen flying in the air.

This is a monster called "Tengu-hi," which takes the form of a ball of flame. It is said that in Europe it would be called the element of fire.

Tengu Fire crept in from another direction, setting fires and causing chaos throughout the city.

Flames were set off throughout the city, and the bodies of the victims lay scattered on the ground.

Tendo Kazukatsu, Fumi, and the Tendo family's supporters, as well as the exorcist sent by the Kamioka headquarters, were all transported here through Mahora's power.

The head of the Tiantong family charged out first.

He kept a watchful eye on his surroundings as he ran forward as fast as he could.

Many buildings surrounding the city gate have been engulfed by flames.

Tendo Kazukatsu's gaze locked onto an enemy, a monster that resembled a hybrid of a spider and a bull, known as the Gyu-oni.

Looking up frees up your legs.

"Tendo Warbler's Song - Farewell Slash!"

The straight-line distance to the enemy was nearly 100 meters, but for Tendo Kazukatsu, it was only a step away.

In the instant his leg strength exploded, he arrived in front of the bull demon.

hum!
This is the sword technique taught by the sword saint Kibune Kyōunsai. The founder of the Tendo family, Tendo Yūmei, once came close to the "End," but he was seriously injured during the training process and could never reach that level in his lifetime. Fortunately, this founder was a rare master swordsman.

Although Tendo Eimei's injuries rendered him unable to walk properly, he devoted the rest of his life to honing his swordsmanship and developed an ultra-fast slash that could simulate the "End of the World".

In that instant, even the soul of a battle-hardened warrior could not capture this movement. The long blade, freed from its sheath, swiftly sliced ​​off the demon's body.

A line of blood flashed across the face, but nothing changed the instant after the cut.

Poof!

The blood mist was released half a second later, and blood gushed from all parts of the bull demon's body. What seemed like a single slash was actually more than a thousand slashes, almost comparable to the slash created by Kohagi using the power of time chanting.

Tendo Kazukatsu was a pure swordsman; he did not possess the power of an exorcist. Before the Gyu-oni shattered, he kicked the remains and leaped to launch a surprise attack on the next Gyu-oni, which resembled an eight-legged spider.

"—Iron-clad cut!"

It roared out a sound that was not human at all. The bull demon's skull shattered, and its body was also cut open. It swiftly slashed to the ground, as if it were not hindered at all.

Organs spilled out from the cross-section of his body, as if the gates of hell had opened within him, and the demon split open like a spider. Amidst the billowing blood mist, he slid forward rapidly.

call out!
A powerful and unparalleled attack struck Tendo and Katsu.

The demon leaned forward, his entire body hurtling towards him like a cannonball. Tendo Kazukatsu instinctively felt there was no need to dodge, so he raised his sword to receive the blow.

Bang!

The bull's head opened its mouth wide, revealing its strong, venomous jaws, and lunged at the man, who held it back with his knife.

"Wa ...

Tendo and Katsu roared powerfully, channeling their power into their muscles until they swelled to their limit.

With a loud bang, the giant spider, nearly the size of a small truck, was sent flying. Even the people who rushed over from behind were shocked by their patriarch's actions.

While using his sword to block the Gyu-oni's poisonous jaws, Tendo Kazukatsu gripped the fangs with one hand and forcefully lifted the monster up, slamming it into the distance.

boom!
The demon tumbled through the air and crashed into the distance, knocking down stone pillars and burning trees behind it.

Tendo and his entourage began their rampage.

The exorcists, carrying bows and arrows, raised their bows and fired arrows at the enemies in the air. Strands of arrows flew through the air, piercing through the flying demonic birds.

The swordsmen of the Tendo family also charged towards the group of monsters, and they locked onto the remaining Ushioni.

These swordsmen possessed superhuman physical abilities, slashing and thrusting to continuously kill their enemies.

On the other side, a considerable number of soldiers were also teleported here. They raised their spears and began to stab at the sizable group of mountain demons.

Just then, a terrifying azure breath was released.

That was an attack launched by Hako-Oh-Maru, unlike the other Kari-Oh-Maru. Hako-Oh-Maru's attack was a burst of freezing air from his throat.

The intense freezing air froze the earth, and a chilling wind rose up. The freezing air caused ice crystals to form in the atmosphere, and the movements of dozens of swordsmen who were advancing with their swords slowed down—then, a flash of azure light appeared, and they turned into ice sculptures one by one.

With a powerful slam of its front paw, the ice sculpture shattered, and the ice sculptures formed from the people also broke apart.

"Damn it!"

Fumi Daimiya also looked tense, and she raised a barrier with both hands.

However, her power was not enough to reach the barrier; the breath exhaled by Hako-maru almost froze and shattered the barrier.

hum!
A crimson arrow of light shot out, heading straight for Hako-Oh-Maru from a distance.

boom!
The explosion rang out at that instant, and a strong gust of wind swept in from all directions.
