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

Red Ten'in finally revealed herself.

Bai Jie and Ye Ming, who were closer, could feel the hot wind mixed in with the demonic aura assaulting them, scorching their hearts and lungs, making it difficult to breathe.

"Everyone, be careful, she's about to attack."

Bai Jie warned.

Indeed, the girl wearing a moth mask with a pointed beak, Red Ten'in, stretched out her hands and unleashed her power from the tips of her fingers. Cherry blossom petals transformed into two massive tornadoes, sweeping across the area with a ferocious roar.

Boom!

A roar like an avalanche echoed in their ears. Crimson light spun at high speed, forming a violent torrent of light, dyeing everything around them red. Everyone's vision was also stained red.

This was a larger-scale 'Sakura Blade.' Without anyone noticing, the ground disappeared. The ground within the range was as if it had been dissolved, licked clean.

"'Mujo'."

Kukutsu Kazuki jumped up, wielding the Cursed Blade in his hand. The spiritual energy wrapped around the blade erupted. He combined the two characters, raised the sword high, and in the next instant, he unleashed his strike.

It was a strike faster than the wind, stronger than lightning. However, more terrifying than the power of the strike itself was the 'Mujo' power contained within—a power that could transform supernatural attacks into 'Mujo'.

"Fleeting clouds, the impermanence of life and death!"

With a single strike, the tornado-like 'Sakura Blade' collapsed and shattered under his blade.

This was the power of the Kukutsu clan's 'Kotodama'—in theory, each character encompassed everything, hence the metaphor of 'spirit of language'.

By giving a formless thing a name, it becomes defined. For example, 'water'. Without a name, it would be something that cannot be accurately expressed. When given the name 'water', it is fixed and identified as 'water'.

Therefore, the shortest curse in the world is a name.

Kukutsu destroyed Red Ten'in's attack with just one swing.

'But this move consumes too much energy…'

Even Kukutsu Kazuki, with his powerful spiritual energy, felt dizzy after releasing that strike.

At the same time, Bai Jie and Ye Ming were also attacked by the 'petals' emitting crimson light. The tornado-like petals flew from the girl's fingertips. The dazzling red mist swirled, forming a storm of scarlet light.

Each petal was incredibly sharp, spinning at high speed, cutting through anything it touched—human bodies, trees, rocks—in an instant. The threat wasn't just the destructive power but also the range and duration of the attack.

"A barrier won't hold! And the attack range is too big, we can't dodge!"

Ye Ming's voice became panicked.

"Retreat first."

Bai Jie realized the immense scale of the tornado. Even using 'Shrinking Ground' might not be enough to escape.

"It's alright, I've been prepared for this."

A giant mud figure appeared from behind, engulfing Bai Jie and Ye Ming. In the next instant, the mud figure was caught in the blizzard of petals, as if sucked into a tornado, shredded and disintegrated.

After destroying the mud figure and Bai Jie and Ye Ming, the tornado-like scarlet petals continued to advance, leveling a large swath of trees before finally dissipating completely.

"Kill!"

Kukutsu Kazuki sensed that the two's spiritual wavelengths still existed, knowing they were safe. He swung his blade towards Red Ten'in without hesitation.

'The attack's destructive power is too strong. Getting too close would risk getting caught in it, and it needs time to prepare.'

Due to his keen perception, Kukutsu Kazuki saw the weakness of the "Sakura Blade."

"What?"

Kukutsu Kazuki had to release his grip to avoid being bitten.

"Whoosh!"

A blade attack swung down from above, cutting the snake swarm in half. The Cursed Blade fell to the ground, and in that instant, a foot wearing a wooden sandal kicked it up from the back of the blade.

"Matsudaira!?"

Kukutsu Kazuki caught the kicked blade, surprised to see the old man appear on the battlefield, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Let's defeat this one first!"

The white-haired old man wore armor, holding a long-handled naginata with both hands, and swept it towards Red Ten'in's head in a horizontal strike.

'Thank you.'

Kukutsu Kazuki exhaled and, in that instant, coordinated his attack, two blades of light, left and right, slashing in a cross.

Both of their strikes contained the power of peerless swordsmen. Even an iron man would be cut in half by the attack.

However, Red Ten'in simply stretched out her hands, deflecting the two blades of light. The armor covering the girl's left and right hands blocked the blades, sparks flying at the moment of impact.

At the same time, two more figures attacked from behind—the puppet girls "Karakusa" and "Sarasa."

The puppets' weapons were a heavy axe-spear and a chained sickle. The specially modified combat puppets were incredibly strong, wielding their weapons like two storms.

However, the moment their attacks arrived, the headless red serpent swept its tail horizontally.

Bang! Bang! The two puppets' abdomens suffered the brunt of the force, instantly launching them backward like two cannonballs.

The ground cracked, and a spear extended its blade, piercing towards Red Ten'in's lower abdomen.

Red Ten'in flicked off her right wooden sandal, jumped into the air, and grabbed the spearhead with her bare toes.

Bright red "light wings" fluttered, and the vampire flew into the air, simultaneously dragging Bai Jie out from underground.

It turned out that Matsudaira Inomaro's mud doll had taken the two underground to hide.

Bai Jie and Ye Ming had avoided the earlier disaster by hiding underground.

"Not good!"

Bai Jie, dragged into the air, didn't have time to let go when the vampire's other foot kicked towards him.

However, just as Bai Jie's figure emerged from the ground, Tsukuyomi Ye Ming also burst out.

The girl kicked the ground, and with a thud, she used the reaction force to leap into the air. With a poof, black wings unfolded from her back, soaring into the sky.

At that moment, even the vampire flying in the air showed shock in her eyes. Tsukuyomi Ye Ming flew.

Yes, a pair of wings had grown from her back, wings like those of a demonic bird—the Yin Magatsuhi spirit attached to her had helped Ye Ming gain a pair of wings that could fly briefly in the air.

She soared upwards, the blade light aimed at Red Ten'in's abdomen, and slashed with all her might.

"Give me… enough!"

The Soul-Cutting Blade struck its target.

Red Ten'in's soul was struck, emitting a dying wail—

Tsukuyomi Ye Ming's "Soul-Cutting" blade light pierced the girl's body, but this was not a killing blade, but a saving blade.

The blade light only struck the soul of the True Ancestor-level vampire, without harming Hiiragi Hiruko.

"Let's end this!"

Tsukuyomi Ye Ming retracted her black wings and descended from the air, and the instant her feet landed.

Hiiragi Hiruko's figure also fell from the air.

The latest novels are first published at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

She had not been cut in two; she simply seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

"S-Success!?"

Renjo Senjuro clenched his fists, his tone tinged with doubt. He didn't know what the situation was.

—Had the vampire Red Ten'in been destroyed?

—What was Hiiragi Hiruko's condition?

"Don't let your guard down!"

Bai Jie, who had fallen to the ground and climbed back up, shouted, "The third phase is starting. Everyone, move back, watch out for attacks from the ground!"

Buzz!

A light shone on everyone's faces, a bright red light. In this ravaged clearing, between the two giant arch-shaped trees, a vertical beam of light appeared from the space in the middle.

The red light slowly spread from left to right, like a blood-red door slowly opening.

"A-Ah…"

Everyone was so shocked by the scene before them that they couldn't speak. A space emitting a strong light appeared between the arch-like trees, and a blood-red light overflowed from it, as if an invisible force had descended.

"B-Blood… Moon?"

Tsukuyomi Ye Ming could see very clearly that it was a blood-red moon, like a "circular" portal, and something was wriggling within it, but because the blood moon's glow was too dazzling, she couldn't see clearly.

A figure stood up again.

It was Hiiragi Hiruko, her face mask shattered.

She was expressionless, but her eyes slowly opened.

A faint golden light appeared in the girl's right eye, from which emerged a sun-like symbol. Her other left eye was filled with a condensed blood-red moon.

"Seriously…"

Bai Jie couldn't help but smile wryly.

This was because Ye Ming's "Soul-Cutting" attack had shattered the soul of the True Ancestor Red Ten'in, causing Hiiragi Hiruko's soul to absorb the power of this True Ancestor vampire, giving birth to the "True Ancestor Hiiragi Hiruko."

Furthermore, because she possessed the bloodline of the "Sun Wheel Shrine Maiden," she had acquired the dual characteristics of divinity and the curse of blood, transforming into a semi-divine vampire.

The moth light wings on Hiiragi Hiruko's back shattered, and strange patterns appeared from her head to her toes. Her soul form entered a new transformation, adjusted to a hybrid mode of living god and vampire.

Spiritual energy and demonic aura overflowed.

The immense power expanded, and the battle would enter the third round—

"I thought we could defeat her before she entered the third stage, but this is troublesome now!"

Bai Jie gritted his teeth.

—Don't worry.

A void-like floating voice transmitted from his mind.

'Since we are here to watch over her, how could we possibly let the situation deteriorate to that stage!'

Snow Hagoromo Princess?

Bai Jie was shocked. In the next second, he felt the descent of divine power.

In a moment, two kinds of divine power took root in this area.

Lake Master Snow Hagoromo Princess and the local Guardian God joined forces.

This represented the cooperation of the dragon-snake that nourished the earth and the tree god that nurtured life. Both kinds of divine power were rooted in the earth.

The power of the gods was also connected to something in the Void Realm, connecting the inside and outside of the space from the outside, causing the space to warp.

Boom!

The surrounding scenery began to distort, and everyone's vision also distorted. An unimaginable barrier space formed—no, it could even be said that it was not a barrier but another space.

It was like a huge underground cavern, or an underground city somewhere. The surroundings were a yellowish-brown color, forming a strange space like a huge underground cave.

"This… is this a dream space?"

Bai Jie was somewhat shocked.

'Almost, but not quite…'

Snow Hagoromo Princess laughed very proudly.

'It's a semi-combination of dream and reality. Speaking of which, can you guess what this place is?'

Bai Jie shook his head.

'…It's the remains of the Root Land, the inside of the Filth Demon Nest.'

Another child-like voice sounded.

'Snow Hagoromo Princess and I cooperated to finally reproduce this Root Land ruin. As long as it's here, even the current Hiiragi Hiruko will be suppressed by the power here!'

'The little one is right, but it should be said the other way around—'

Snow Hagoromo Princess's voice sounded unhurried.

'It's precisely because of the power of the Sun Wheel Shrine Maiden and the little girl who absorbed the power of the True Ancestor-level vampire that she will be completely suppressed here. Her extraordinarily powerful bloodline will become her greatest weakness at this moment.'
