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

Chapter 192 Sealing and Schemes

boom!
Suddenly, the demonic energy surrounding the fox woman, who had transformed into a humanoid form of flame, condensed and a hot wind arose.

"Take the move!"

At the same time, hundreds of fireballs of various sizes split off from his body.

"Die!"

The fireballs came like a meteor shower—no, they came crashing down from all directions.

boom!
An explosive eruption of flames erupted, and fire shot into the sky from the bamboo forest in the canyon.

At the same time, Ye Ming swiftly drew his sword from its sheath, holding the precious blade in each hand.

With a whoosh, a sharp slash from the sky cleaved a flying fireball in two, and the ball, emitting a faint orange-red glow, easily dissipated.

Infused with spiritual power, her slashes were several times faster than the wind. She continued to unleash lightning-fast strikes, cleaving through the incoming fireballs one after another.

Swish swish!

Amidst the sharp whistling sound, the girl's slash precisely severed the missile-like fireball, the sparks scattering and shattering under the flash of her blade.

However, these fireballs were not all aimed at her body; it was a large-scale attack that covered the surrounding area.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of explosions spread, and as the bursts of flame fell, they created vortexes of explosive winds, with intense heat and flames spreading in all directions.

She dodged repeatedly, lamenting helplessly that she had lost the "Gauntlet of Demon Slayers" and could no longer use the orb on the gauntlet to nullify this magical attack.

Although she can still activate the Eye of Heaven, she cannot reproduce the previous attack beyond visual range at this stage.

No, that kind of attack was unreasonable in itself.

Ye Ming thought about it carefully, but he couldn't imagine that he could do that kind of thing again.

She leaped through the firelight, trying to close the distance with the enemy, her two blades cleaving through the fireballs as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

—It's alright. Even without that power, I can still defeat this kind of enemy now.

At this moment, her eyes burned with pure and passionate fighting spirit.

"hehe."

The fox woman did not move. She was not too surprised by Ye Ming's actions because she could observe Ye Ming's tactics by using the power of the "piece". For her, using the piece was to achieve the result of "future vision".

Swish!
Ye Ming closed the distance with the fox woman in almost a single stride.

"good chance!"

She was about to deliver a slash.

Suddenly, a sense of vigilance arose deep within me.

breathe!

The air she inhaled made her lungs feel like they were being burned.

'This is bad, what is this?!?'

She looked around and was shocked to find that the surrounding bamboo forest was engulfed in flames—the intense heat caused the yellowed, withered grass under her feet to turn into sparks and fly around, and the nearby snowdrifts had melted.

Flames danced rapidly through the bamboo forest, creating a raging inferno that engulfed the surrounding area.

It turned out that the two were fighting in a canyon at the foot of the mountain, where a bamboo grove had grown. Under the intense attack and the fierce flames, all the bamboo around them was ignited, making a crackling sound.

She can feel the pain just by breathing, and her skin can feel the burning sensation from the rising temperature.

With a "crack," the burnt bamboo collapsed right beside her to the right, crashing heavily to the ground, sending countless sparks flying.

To avoid the falling bamboo, Ye Ming leaped back, only to find that her retreat was also engulfed in flames.

"...I was surrounded."

She then realized this; hot winds were blowing in from all directions, the temperature in the entire area was rising, and sweat was gradually dripping from her forehead.

"...Distraction is not a good habit."

The fox-woman's chilling laughter rang out.

Several short swords wreathed in flames shot out—it was her attack. Dozens of short swords were engulfed in flames, their tips turning crimson.

In the split second, Ye Ming maintained his dual-wielding stance, continuously slashing with both hands to deflect the incoming blades.

With a swing of her precious sword, the short swords were shattered by its powerful blows.

"...Is it a weapon generated by magic?"

Ye Ming looked at the enemy, and the fox woman transformed into the outline of flames, from which countless blades emerged.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

A dense barrage of blades shot towards her, forcing her to concentrate on fighting back and use her twin swords to cut through them.

However, the fire grew larger and larger, and the bamboo forest burned fiercely in the flames. A look of distress crossed Ye Ming's face as she fended off the enemy's attacks while rapidly retreating. —We must get out of here quickly.

—In this environment, it is impossible to engage in close combat with the enemy.

At that moment, she immediately understood the enemy's strategy: the fire generated in the bamboo forest would quickly consume the surrounding air, and even if she avoided the direct attack of the flames, she might still lose her fighting ability due to lack of oxygen and poisoning.

'Move as fast as you can and get out of here. We can't fight the enemy in this environment… No, flying away from here won't work either; once we're airborne, we're easily hit by ranged attacks.'

She retreated rapidly, and in that instant, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hind foot, clearly as if something had cut her. She endured the pain and quickly rolled over.

boom!
A ball of fire came from the sky and nearly hit her.

Ye Ming continued to roll around, then got up. Only then did she notice that her right heel had been slashed, and blood was flowing out.

“…When did it happen?”

She looked in the direction of the fox woman, who remained motionless, still a burning humanoid flame standing at a distance.

However, a crooked smile could be vaguely seen in the flames.

not good!

The other person's smile sent a chill down her spine.

Out of a fleeting sense of caution, she quickly jumped to her right, but blood gushed from her right shoulder the instant she jumped.

Immediately afterwards, dozens more short swords, wreathed in flames, shot towards him. Ye Ming gritted his teeth, landed, rolled forward, and raised his sword as he rose. A bolt of lightning shot from the tip of the Mizutsu Sword, rapidly propelling itself from the blade's tip.

The lightning bolts moved forward in a spiral trajectory; this was the sword technique "Teeth Piercing Lightning Spin" of the Oboroten Hidden Moon School, which shattered the incoming short sword.

The spiraling lightning continued to move forward, but stopped just before it touched the fox woman.

Kukuku...

The fox woman laughed.

Ye Ming gritted her teeth, but her body remained motionless. Her right hand held the Shui Jin Sword, but her knees were unnaturally kneeling on the ground.

She was stabbed in the lower abdomen by a short knife at some unknown time.

Blood flowed out.

At first, Ye Ming herself didn't understand how she had been hit, until she saw a hand appear behind the dagger.

It was a slender hand, a woman's palm, connected to the flames beside it at the wrist.

—This is a hand that grew out of the flames on a burning bamboo.

'I've been stabbed again... What... is this?'

Something pierced her side, and her body swayed, as if she might fall at any moment.

Ye Ming still couldn't understand how he had fallen victim to this.

“That’s right… In fact, the first strike could have completely severed your right ankle. You should thank me for holding back.”

The fox-woman, in the form of a flame, laughed as she pulled her right wrist back from the void, drawing the short sword from Ye Ming's lower abdomen, blood spurting out.

"What I got from the yokai 'Shiranui' was only the ability to move briefly through space; to be honest, I shouldn't have been able to do this much—"

The fox woman released the "Shiranui" ability.

As she played with the short sword in her hand, she laughed and said, "Thanks to the future observation through 'Piece,' I was able to observe your battle with that man, which made me realize that my moves can be used to this extent."

Zhu Ling herself had not studied her own power, nor could she have studied the power of a yokai like Shiranui to this extent.

She only gained some inspiration from Hyakusuke's Void Spear and Yoru's long-range slash using the Eye of Heaven's Awareness.

Both Bai Jie and Ye Ming are able to use spatial teleportation to launch ranged attacks, so there's no reason why I can't do it too.

"All right."

She laughed and said, "That sword didn't pierce your internal organs. You've lost quite a bit of blood... This time, I don't plan to kill you directly, but once you bleed to a certain extent, you'll go into shock, right?"

Yes, a lot of blood was gushing from the wound.

Ye Ming was not skilled in using healing spells; her eyes were already completely black, and she could faint at any moment due to blood loss.

No, even without blood loss, the high temperature and lack of oxygen here would put her in a desperate situation due to lack of oxygen.

"Next, we just need to wait for her to completely lose consciousness... and then use this precious pearl to seal her away."

Zhu Ling held a blessed pearl in her right hand.

The pearl contains a technique called "Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four Binding and Sealing Mirror".

Of course, it cannot be compared with the original version of the Dragon Clan's secret technique; it does not require much demonic power and is much smaller in scale.

However, once activated, sealing a mere super-level exorcist is not a problem.
