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

Chapter 226 The Knights

This is also why players on the forums are furiously criticizing this line.

Many players feel that the power levels in this part of the story are inconsistent, and that the power increase of Jujou Maika in the later stages is too exaggerated.

At the time, the online review section for the game "Oborozuki no Akechi" was filled with conflicting opinions and endless arguments...

Putting aside these digressions, at the same time, Hyakusuke knew that he couldn't avoid it.

Now that Jijou Maika has reached this state, there are very few people who can stop her.

The moment the giant steel fist landed, he activated "Shrinking the Earth" and quickly moved in another direction.

"There's no need to fight the Sword-Armored Guardian Child head-on... Let's move to a safe distance first."

Just as he shifted space, an invisible wave erupted, and with a loud bang, Bai Jie, who had moved halfway through the air, involuntarily let out a muffled groan, as he was forcibly forced out of the void by some force.

The spatial distortion was abruptly interrupted. He was almost torn to pieces on the spot by the stretching caused by the powerful interference force that stopped the "shrinking earth" at the last moment.

Fortunately, he escaped in time, flying through the air and rolling dozens of times on the ground before regaining his footing.

"Can the wavelength emitted by an ultra-high-level curse-reversal barrier even block spatial movement?"

He then realized that it was the "divine" spiritual power emitted by the sword-armored guardian child that created a spell-reversal barrier effect similar to a higher-level one.

The so-called "curse-reversal barrier" is essentially a phenomenon where extremely powerful beings such as gods, Buddhas, evil spirits, and Rakshasa have such high density of spiritual energy and demonic aura that any external attacks that get close are decomposed and torn apart by their immense power.

For example, it's like a massive celestial body that can decompose, tear apart, and devour low-mass celestial bodies that come close to it.

However, he had not expected that the "quality" of the Sword Armor Guardian Child in terms of power had reached such an extent.

"In other words, even if this guy can't release the spell-reversal barrier, the overflowing portion of his divinity alone is enough to prevent me from teleporting in the vicinity."

Bai Jie raised his head again and saw the fist of the Sword Armor Guardian Child reappear.

"Jump!"

The monster's voice came from the ring, and Hyakusuke strengthened his legs without hesitation, causing the muscles in his thighs and calves to swell.

The ground shattered and cracked. In a split second, he pushed off the ground at full speed, thus avoiding the right fist of the steel giant, the Sword-Armored Guardian Child.

The ground shattered in an instant, and Hyakusuke leaped to the right rear. His gaze fell upon the steel giant's fist, where the brand-like runes lit up like burning branding irons.

boom!
Explosive smoke and dust rose high into the sky, destroying large areas of trees behind it. Fragments of wood, leaves, and stones flew into the air, dancing in front of the smoke-filled waterfall.

"Be careful... The curse reversal barrier on that fist is strong enough to decompose any nearby matter. The crater that was punched through was burned. If you take a punch head-on, even if you use the incomplete 'Myriad Blossoms Sealing Realm Heavenly Dog Path Nirvana', you won't be able to withstand it."

Mephistopheles offered a reminder to Bai Jie.

"That thing combines mass with a divine interference power far exceeding that of ordinary curse-reversing barriers. The product of the combination of the two becomes the embodiment of destructive power. Even if you use the same level of power and barrier defense, it will be penetrated by mass, or it will be decomposed by a more violent interference power the moment it touches you."

I know this even if you don't tell me.

Hyakusuke moved quickly in another direction, feeling his anger burning.

That crazy woman deserves to be taught a lesson.

The actions of the ten-fold dancing flower had already infuriated him.

As he sprinted, the mountain-sized body of the Sword-Armored Guardian Child also leaped up and strode in that direction.

"Let's lure this guy to a place far from human habitation first."

While running wildly, Hyakusuke communicated with Ayaka, Choan, and others using telepathy.

"Lord Hyakusuke, what exactly happened?"

Zhuo'an received his letter and immediately inquired about his recent situation.

Hyakusuke gave a brief explanation and also gave instructions.

“Jujou Maika’s condition is very strange… Also, her attendant, the tanuki, is nowhere to be found. Go and look for her on her ship.”

He thought of the raccoon dog, Bean.

In the game "Oborozuki no Akebono", Tanuki Mame no Susumu is one of the few characters who can influence Jujou Chimai.

"Next, I will take her, who is mentally unstable, to a place as far away as possible. You guys think of some ways to persuade her, Dou Zhijin."

Bai Jie ran at top speed.

He didn't give up, warning Zhuo'an, Ayaka, and the others not to get too close, because if they got involved in his conflict with Jujouji Maika, people would really die.

On the other side, behind him, the Sword-Armored Guardian Child relentlessly pursued him, unleashing laser-like beams of light from the flame-shaped backlight behind him, causing a series of explosions in the surrounding area.

...somewhere extremely far away.

It should be a large ship floating on the sea.

Someone is hiding in the shadows, spying on the battle taking place in the fishing port through a crystal ball.

"It seems your old friend isn't doing too well these days either."

A foreign man dressed as a priest spoke sarcastically, glancing at a man dressed as a monk from an island nation beside him.

This tall man, who resembled a monk, was none other than Master Zenzang, one of the former Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land. His true identity was a member of the Twenty-Six Holy Knights, a group of Hidden Knights based in the Kyushu region.

After the previous incident, Zenzo was used by Hyakkei to cause an avalanche, causing him to fall off a cliff from a high mountain.

However, that level of skill was insufficient to kill this successor of the Kuramaji Demon King School.

Shanzang was unharmed. After calming down, he realized that his plan had failed.

Especially after the appearance of Ziyue Shi from the Eight Blessings Society, Shanzang temporarily extinguished his fighting spirit upon learning that the other party was one of the eight "Gods of Fortune".

Furthermore, his status as a "traitor" hidden within the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Knights by the Twenty-Sixth Holy Knights had been exposed, and not wanting to cause any further trouble, he wisely chose to retreat.

"The secret techniques of the Ten Earth Clan?"

Zenzo also saw through the crystal ball the scene of the blonde girl summoning the Sword Armor Guardian Child—the giant steel shikigami, as tall as a small mountain, truly startled him.

"As expected of one of the strongest local clans in the Western Kingdom, in terms of strength and destructive power alone, even among the outstanding members of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land, few can compare."

The monk sighed, "It's a pity that the imperial court is also wary of the prestigious families of the Western Kingdom. Otherwise, this little girl should have been able to join the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Spirit and receive guidance from me or my senior brother."

He said calmly, "She can be considered a rough gem. If someone guides her, her strength should be able to be raised to the next level."

"Stop joking around~~"

The man dressed as a priest said with a wry smile, "The strongest 'Yo-Yo Master' of our time, Xuanjie Mingtan, the eldest disciple of the Fist Saint, Mo Zhang Yue Sanhai, the priestess who is proficient in spatial magic, the current successor of the divine bow 'Thunderous Movement'... These monsters who rank ahead of you, the top five of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land, are already strong enough. Do you still intend to train even stronger monsters for the Yamato Dynasty?"

He sighed deeply: "Not to mention these inhuman monsters, even those ranked far behind the top six, such as Kukutsu Ichiki, Hoshishiro Ryu, and the Kamo family prodigy, are all extraordinary. None of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land are weak."

"As for the so-called Twenty-Six Holy Knights and Hidden Chidan, they are entrenched in the Kyushu region. It sounds plausible, but frankly, it just means that the imperial court has not yet officially focused its attention on us."

"The real enemies that the Yamato court is worried about are the possible 'rebellions' of powerful clans and noble families of exorcists in the North, the West, and other places, as well as the power struggles, the resurgence of the Bloodstained Six Gates Army of the Five Great Demon Kings, or the conspiracies of the Eight Blessings Society."

“We are just minor figures, not worth the court’s trouble. Even if a crisis were to occur, the court would probably think that a little toe would suffice to deal with us. The court’s real attention is always on other issues.”

The man dressed as a priest did not express self-mockery; he was simply stating a fact. When facing an enemy of such immense size, rationality is essential, and exaggeration or excessive denigration is meaningless.

"If what you say is true, then we devout believers have no chance of victory?"

Shanzang asked casually, "Hank."

"No, the more this is the case, the better our chances of winning."

The man known as "Hank" has the exact same face as the man who died on Black Shark Island.

No, they are one person.

The first Hank to die on the island, and the second Hank who appeared later, were both androids.

"The strength of the imperial court lies in its overall strength; it is the integrated body of national power that governs the country, not the strength of any individual... Conversely, a single strong person who is still human can find a way to solve problems, no matter how strong they are."

Hank's calm analysis.

“Excessive size is not strength, but bloat and obesity… If we cleverly utilize this, we will always have a way to deal with our enemies and achieve the goals of our knightly order.”

"is it?"

"Yes."

Hank sneered, “However, God helps those who help themselves… The idea that you can lie there and have God’s favor come to you won’t work. Victory must ultimately be taken by your own hands.”

"However, I failed in my investigation of the item belonging to the Yuegalo clan, and you also failed to retrieve the replica of the Great Demon Mephisto as originally planned."

Shanzang asked again, "What are our chances of winning now?"

"I don't think I was a failure on Black Shark Island."

Hank laughed.

"Furthermore, Mephistopheles' clones are inherently unstable. The fact that we have achieved the experimental results of the Eight Blessings Society is already the greatest benefit for us."
