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

"Very good."

Yamei didn't expect her condition to be so good today; her spiritual power flowed smoothly, and her state was excellent.

‘So that's how it is… Even I can do it if I try!’

The more she absorbed, the more powerful she felt.

‘That's right, I can do anything!’

A light of intense consciousness flashed in the girl's eyes, and her spiritual power floated like blue flames.

Strictly speaking, her condition today was even ten percent better than usual.

While dodging the debris flying from Asura King's head after it was crushed and carbonized, Yamei searched for a foothold.

"Careful!!"

Suddenly, Hyakusuke's voice rang out.

Boom!

The monster, having lost its head and left claw, used its remaining right claw to smash down with immense force through the thick fog.

‘Impossible… Even with its head crushed, how could it still move its claw?!’

A chill ran down Yamei's spine.

She nearly slipped and fell in shock.

At that critical moment, Hyakusuke noticed the unusual change and rushed to Yamei's side.

He picked her up, and the two of them teleported away just as the right claw struck, appearing on the ground on the other side.

"Yamei-sama, why didn't you use 'Soul Shave' to directly destroy Asura King's soul?"

Hyakusuke landed lightly, spinning like a cat.

"Sorry."

Yamei smiled wryly, looking a little disheveled.

"The mist is strange and obstructs my observation; I can't see Asura King's soul."

"…Is that so?"

A thoughtful light appeared in Hyakusuke's eyes.

"Hahahahahaha…"

Asura King burst out laughing.

Even though its head had been blown apart and its left claw completely destroyed, the monster still hadn't died.

"This King is a great monster who participated in that great war; you didn't think you could kill this King so easily, did you~~?"

It was unclear how the monster Asura King was making sounds, but at the severed neck where its head used to be, the huge wound bubbled and foamed, then smoothly swelled up.

"You vermin, you will all groan in pain together, then cough up blood, and then die in agony!"

Suddenly, an ominous fluctuation was released, and a twisted power spread out.

"—!"

In a brief instant, Yamei felt her vision distort.

No, all five senses were experiencing something strange. Sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch—everything became bizarre. A violent, strange sensation surged through her body, and she shuddered, spitting out blood.

"Not good."

Hyakusuke immediately sensed a change in the surrounding air. Seeing Yamei spitting blood, he quickly asked, "Yamei-sama, what's wrong?"

"Poison."

Yamei said with a distorted face.

"…I'm poisoned."

Poison!?

…Why?

‘Why would I be poisoned? We took detoxification potions and made various preparations before entering to guard against unknown attacks…’

The enemy was an unknown demon with many unknown abilities; it was impossible for the group to enter the dangerous situation unprepared.

In fact, they had charms on them to prevent poison, paralysis, sleep, and so on, and they had taken detoxification potions in advance.

‘Logically speaking… even if I were poisoned, there shouldn't be any warning signs?’

Pfft!

In the distance, Matsudaira Inosuke also spat out blood; black blood flowed from the old man's eyes and nose. Apart from him, the ninja personnel left behind were also groaning in pain from the poisoning.

‘The mist… there's poison in the mist!’

He used his "Telepathy" ability to transmit this information to everyone on the canyon battlefield.

‘Don't breathe in the mist. The mist is mixed with trace amounts of demonic poison, a toxin that ordinary people can't detect. The concentration slowly increases as we breathe it in… The longer we stay and the closer we get to this Asura King, the easier it is to get poisoned!’

"The mist?"

Hyakusuke suddenly understood something in his heart. In that instant, he connected some of the puzzle pieces in his mind.

"So that's what's going on… I know all of this monster's secrets."

Unlike the others, Hyakusuke had obtained the power of the "Oma's Charm" and had a strong resistance to toxins. He suddenly pulled out a flashbang and threw it forcefully into the air.

"Kishin General, lend me your strength."

Hyakusuke also awakened the Kishin General, and a stream of air, like a slender tornado, instantly wrapped around the flashbang and lifted it into the high sky, as if the flashbang was thrown into the sky above the canyon.

Whoosh!

The flashbang exploded.

Hiiragi Hiruko was standing on a large tree, her autumn-water-like clear eyes raised, staring at the canyon not far away.

Under the moonlight, she could see the flashes and explosions in the canyon, and the loud noise was caught by her ears a moment later.

"Hyakusuke-sensei, I already know."

She held the Azusa bow in her right hand, her expression tense as she looked in the direction of the canyon.

Then, the girl wrapped a strand of hair hanging in front of her around her finger and turned it into a crimson arrow.

Her fingers, along with the arrow, were placed on the bowstring, and she pulled back and released, raising the bow and shooting an arrow into the sky.

Whoosh!

The crimson arrow flew out, drawing a tragic red trajectory, slicing through the sky and falling towards the location of the canyon.

That was an arrow released by Hiiragi Hiruko's power, like a crimson meteor. Its speed and trajectory were so fast that almost in the next instant after the flashbang exploded, the arrow broke through the air and fell.

"What?"

King Sagara felt a strong sense of crisis. The whistling of the arrow screamed from the void, scattering large swaths of mist in an instant. The air vibrated, emitting a brutal sense of threat, as if crushing everything and pressing it to the extreme.

Boom!

It was like the dull sound of a taiko drum, a huge rumble.

Something was falling straight down, tearing apart the mist covering the canyon as if cutting it open.

"Meteor!?"

The great demon's hair stood on end.

The scarlet meteor fell from above its head, and then pierced straight down. This was an attack that could not be resisted at all.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

King Sagara shouted.

However, its body began to shatter, centered on the point where it was pierced.

Why?

King Sagara, this great monster, couldn't accept it.

It... couldn't do anything!

In the next moment, a deafening explosion and shattering sound rang out.

King Sagara was torn to pieces in the canyon, and the mist that had enveloped the canyon for centuries was blown away by a strong wind.

...

'Damn... what is that power?'

From King Sagara's flesh and blood, something silently slipped out. It was a nucleus-like object, emitting a translucent glow, floating in the air like a worm.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Parasitizing within this great monster's body for a hundred years, it originally thought its parasitism was foolproof, but it didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

'What kind of attack is that... mixed with demonic energy and spiritual power, and abnormally powerful!'

That was definitely an abnormal power.

One was a destructive and powerful demonic force, and the other was a pure force mixed with divinity.

Every cell in King Sagara's demonic body was crushed by these two forces, which meant that even if it wanted to regenerate, it didn't have the chance.

After all, its power was not yet at the level where it could regenerate even after the cells were crushed.

'But... it doesn't matter, I'll just find another monster to parasitize... With my power, one day...'

"Found it."

A cold voice interrupted its muttering.

Then, a glass bottle fell from the sky, just covering the parasitic demon body.

"It seems that this thing is the monster parasitizing King Sagara, and also the source of that mist."

Hyakume closed the glass bottle.

He looked carefully, and it was a transparent, nucleus-like object like a jellyfish. Imprisoned in the glass bottle, it was still restless, constantly struggling, and even伸出触须, trying to break the glass lid and escape.

"This... what kind of monster is this?"

Yomei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Yanyanluo."

Hyakume sighed: "I guess it's this kind of monster, or rather, a variant of the Yanyanluo demon."

He explained.

"The core of this thing, that is, the main body, is this jellyfish-like parasite... It stole King Sagara's demon body, and then escaped from the Blood-Painted Six Gate Army a hundred years ago, avoiding that great war between humans and demons."

"Yanyanluo?"

The old man Matsudaira took the antidote.

"It seems to be a kind of demon related to smoke, but they are generally very weak. This guy is not the mist, but controls the surrounding mist."

"The mist is also a part of its body."

Hyakume explained: "Those mists are the mist body it generates using demonic energy. To control King Sagara's huge body, it relies on those mists to do it."

The thick fog in the canyon is often overlooked. These mists are part of this parasitic demon. By spreading the mist, it gains the power to perfectly control King Sagara, and can also inject toxicity, poisoning those who enter the mist.

"King Sagara can regenerate, it should be the same thing?"

Yomei muttered to herself.

"No wonder I have been unable to see through the demon's soul. The generated mists are to conceal its secrets."

"Disguised as King Sagara, this monster can only act as a bully. Once its true form is exposed, it has no advantage... After all, as long as you find its parasitic body, it is not difficult to defeat it."

Hyakume said with a smile.

"Fortunately, we have powerful figures on our side. With just one arrow, we can completely destroy King Sagara's demon body. Without a body, this parasitic demon is not worth worrying about."

"That... did I help?"

A figure appeared nearby at some point. It was the figure of the shrine maiden, Hiiragi Hiruko. Dressed in white robes and a scarlet skirt, she cleared her throat and walked forward quietly.

"Of course."

Hyakume nodded.

"This time, we have to thank Miss Hiruko. Without the power of that last arrow, it would not be easy to defeat such a strong enemy... I was very lucky to have asked you before."

— This output, this strength, is simply invincible!

Hyakume's eyes toward Hiiragi Hiruko had already turned into eyes looking at the "team's output god."

"That's good."

Hearing these words, she gently smiled on her lips.

"As long as it is something I can do, please let me do it... This is also to repay your kindness to me."

"Repaying kindness is too much to say."

Hyakume laughed: "You really helped a lot this time."

"Is that so?"

The shrine maiden, with her swaying black and shiny long hair, had a very gentle and loving smile on her lips when she heard her words.

"As long as it is for Lord Hyakume, I will definitely do my best to help you."

She bit her lip a little shyly.

This is repaying kindness.
