I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue strongly suspected that Mentor had used some kind of ability to directly extract a segment from the timeline of a certain graveyard and then had Isaac put the hero's soul into it—otherwise, how could everything in the scene be so lifelike, with each having its own thoughts?

Isaac wasn't the Blood River; he only knew how to drain the hero's soul, so how could he have mastered such a unique ability?

However, none of this mattered—Li Yue's communication with the vengeful spirits was seamless, and he quickly understood what had happened here.

The graveyard was indeed haunted, but only by some minor vengeful spirits; the real evil was still humanity itself—the graveyard's priest was practicing necromancy, and after playing with corpses, he started experimenting on living people, successively dealing with two gravediggers and a squad of militiamen.

Beneath that priestly robe, a filthy soul was hidden, and even the little girl being buried today… was cursed to death by the priest himself.

However, Li Yue wasn't here to solve a case; his only goal was to kill the hero—finding out that there was indeed another mysterious civilization on the east side of Jue Mountain was an unexpected bonus; any further… it was time to act.

The appearance of the vengeful spirits aroused the hero's vigilance, making a sneak attack a luxury; Li Yue immediately changed his strategy.

"It doesn't matter; just pretend it was you who did it." Li Yue sensed the hero's change and immediately ordered the vengeful spirits, "Now, possess me; we're going to kill the hero…"

As Li Yue's thought was conveyed, the vengeful spirits here instantly gathered onto Li Yue; thus, the hero and the people in the graveyard suddenly saw that the blonde scholar Tom was convulsing constantly as he floated into the air, his arms outstretched, as if controlled by some evil force.

Regarding the performance of convulsions, Li Yue had practiced it extremely skillfully when disguising as the old mage on the upper level of the library; he even twisted the octopus tentacles on his head a bit, creating some bubbles.

"Save… save me…" Li Yue added the line.

Bubbles gurgled out of the blonde scholar Tom's eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears, which was very eerie; and the bone hand transformed had already drawn the bone sword from beside his thigh, ready to take the hero's life while he was stunned.

The people in the graveyard began to scream and flee.

However, to Li Yue's surprise, the hero had no psychological burden regarding killing a human possessed by vengeful spirits; instantly, the longsword was in his hand, his fingers forming a sword incantation, and he sliced the blonde scholar's head from his body with one strike.

Just like that, he killed him? A scholar possessed by a demon, just like that, he was killed by the hero?

Li Yue was speechless.

Li Yue had no way to block the sharpness of that sword intent; the binding thread and the self-healing bone at his neck were completely severed, as if blown open by the wind.

Li Yue's transformation also faded away at this instant, and the skull and skeleton fell downwards together; immediately afterwards, the bone sword held by the bone hand slashed down towards the top of the hero's head, also preparing to cut him in two.

Damn it, you want me to be cut horizontally, I'll make you cut vertically.

The battle had only just begun, but it had already exceeded the comprehension of the people in the graveyard—whether it was the hero or the skeleton, their movements could be described as lightning fast; people didn't even have time to run out a step before Li Yue and the hero had exchanged two moves.

The hero didn't expect the demon's counterattack to come so quickly; wind rose around his body, and he was about to create distance; and of course, Li Yue didn't dare to be careless; it wasn't easy to get this close; what kind of sneak attack would it be if he just slashed down with a bare sword?

As the bone sword fell, Li Yue also used "Lament of the Undead", and the vengeful spirits in the graveyard instantly surged around the hero, forcibly preventing him from moving, and countless complex grievances invaded his mind.

"Pop!" The vengeful spirit pressing on the hero's head was scattered by the hero with a shake of his head, and Li Yue's bone sword didn't chop his crown, but fell from his shoulder, cutting open half of his body.

However, because the movements of both sides were too fast, Li Yue's "Thorns of Decay" didn't have time to form; before any death energy could be released, the bone sword was blocked by the hero's sword.

At this time, Li Yue's skull was still falling in mid-air; the hero, paralyzed with half an arm, pinched the sword incantation with one hand to push the bone sword away from his body, scattering a large amount of blood.

Of course, Li Yue couldn't give him a chance to breathe; the octopus tentacles on his head swayed, blocking his face while also turning the cold air and toxins collected from the Forbidden Forest into countless earth bullets, shooting towards the hero in front of him.

"Puff puff puff!" After a burst of explosions, the earth bullets hit the hero's body and burst into blood, but Li Yue observed from his perception that the hero's blocking of this part of the attack didn't seem as difficult as he was showing, and he immediately felt bad.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind wrapped around the hero's body, tearing apart countless surrounding vengeful spirits, breaking Li Yue's "Lament of the Undead" while also blasting countless earth bullets.

Sword energy crisscrossed; the hero's flying sword was erratic; fortunately, Li Yue's bone sword also moved with his thoughts, barely keeping up with the speed of the flying sword; as for those crisscrossing sword energies, they instantly shattered Li Yue's skeleton, completely disintegrating it and even turning it into bone powder.

How overbearing… Gotta escape.

While retreating, Li Yue didn't dare to relax his control over the bone sword in the slightest, parrying the hero's flying sword while also burrowing into the ground—being separated from his body also had its advantages; the skull regained its freedom and could completely hide its main body in the soil, maneuvering with the hero.

"Oh? Earth escape?" The hero keenly noticed Li Yue's intention at the first moment his tentacles touched the ground, and he also used this to distinguish Li Yue's main body; immediately, scorching flames emerged from his sleeves, enveloping his entire body, dispelling the ice and poison, while also turning back to entangle the skull with swaying tentacles!

Crap… Is this what is called being good at magic…

Li Yue didn't have time to burrow into the soil; he hurriedly blocked his face with his tentacles, knowing that the battle had reached a critical point—although the hero had seen through his main body, and the next attack was about to follow, this guy's injuries weren't light either; half of his body was bleeding, and he was also corroded by poison gas and extreme cold, turning blue and purple, and his mobility was rapidly decreasing, making it difficult to fight for long.

The most important thing was that his flying sword was entangled by the bone sword and wouldn't be able to slash over for a while…

Victory or defeat was about to be decided—although Li Yue looked embarrassed, his main body was unharmed; as long as he endured this fire, he could survive.

The blazing flames rushed towards his face, and Li Yue used all his suckers to absorb fiercely, thinking that the time to test the ability of the "Octopus Shapeshift" had come; but more than a dozen tentacles quickly withered away, and the heat rushing straight to Li Yue's crown didn't diminish at all!

The hero's true fire burned all of Li Yue's hair, leaving only a lonely strand; and although Li Yue didn't know what "Hellfire" was, he fully believed that the flames spewing from the hero's sleeves… must not be much worse than that.

Fortunately, Li Yue had the processing experience of the "Heart of Purgatory"; after his tentacles exploded and he was also burned bald, he instantly added a set of "Slaughter Sea Butterflies" as a shield, blocking the oncoming blazing flames.

The resistance of the high-density "Self-Healing Bone" was different from what it had been before; half of it was burned away by a true fire, and half of it was still intact; and Li Yue also took advantage of this moment to burrow into the soil, and then released six sets of "Slaughter Sea Butterflies", centered on the hero, dancing a dance of death.

Although the hero's flying sword could split Isaac's skull, it couldn't break the Skull Clan's sacred object, the bone sword, so he had no time to cut off the countless binding threads spewing from the bone shell.

After being cut into a bleeding state by the wolf fangs on the first binding thread, the hero had to give up using flames—otherwise, he would be like Bosh, and without Li Yue even having to do anything, he would burn himself dry first.

The hero had wind and thunder within his sleeves, crackling and falling in the field, blasting the ground with scorched marks, and no ghosts or gods dared to approach; and Li Yue had long hidden in the soil in the distance, covering his head with a new head of octopus tentacle hair, desperately absorbing the lightning being guided over.

After absorbing the hero's flames and creating a red dirty braid, Li Yue continued to absorb lightning, and before long, he dyed the two sticky dirty braids into a blue-purple color, making them even more unconventional.

The six and a half "Slaughter Sea Butterflies" left by Li Yue on the battlefield were soon almost dismantled, and Li Yue replaced them with six more, rushing up, preparing to exhaust and entangle the hero to death.

"Enough." At this moment, Isaac's voice sounded in the hero's mouth, "Come back."

Tsk… I could have dyed them all blue…

Li Yue hadn't stayed enough, but he was still instantly pulled away from the graveyard and returned to the podium, and then he saw his "Slaughter Sea Butterflies" and bone sword also being spit out by the light ball in one go.

"What? Can't hold on anymore?" Li Yue teased Isaac, thinking that his "Slaughter Sea Butterfly" tactic was still very successful.

"Hmph…" Of course, Isaac wouldn't really let the Son of Evil kill the hero—that was a soul he had collected with great difficulty.

【Malice + 2444】

"Yo, am I the first one?" Li Yue looked at the empty classroom and immediately felt proud.

"Then… your Holy Whip, is it mine?" Li Yue pointed at Isaac's stomach.
