I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue hid within the layers of earth, feeling the withering and wailing of the grotesque jigsaw, and exerted all his strength to force self-healing.

Whenever Li Yue's main body separated from the grotesque jigsaw, he remotely used the power of the Staff of Deception to shield the surrounding warriors and demons from sensing his main body.

Of course, this consumed a great deal of magic from the Library, but so far the effect has been good.

No one realized that Li Yue's main body was not within the grotesque jigsaw; they all thought that Hannibal's skin was Li Yue himself.

Although Holy Light would cause great damage to the shadow, Li Yue had witnessed it while wearing Scourge Lich's skin during the Blood River simulation battle, which led to his attempt to deceive the priest.

Originally, the Bone of Self-Healing could resist Holy Light to a certain extent, so if the speed of self-healing could exceed the damage of Holy Light to the grotesque jigsaw, it might be possible to create the illusion of "Holy Light healing Hannibal."

Li Yue did just that.

Under the illumination of the Holy Light, Hannibal's face and flesh grew rapidly, reforming into a complete skin—although the binding threads and octopus tentacles inside were completely cleansed, it was no longer visible to the naked eye.

Li Yue had anticipated this loss and, fortunately, had collected a lot of malice along the way, so he was not afraid of not being able to replenish it.

【He has accepted the Holy Light…】

【He will be used by us…】

"Damn it, which clumsy bastard stole your mirror…"

"He will be healed for us," Bai Xu said to Lu Mu, still expressionless, as if everyone was just a stick, a tool, to him.

Lu Mu was thinking when the knights slammed their own flesh and blood against the White Gate.

Knights with broken bones and tendons, knights with sunken chests, knights with bleeding orifices… They slowly recovered with divine magic and Deng Xian's "self-healing," straightened their heads, and stood in formation again.

Immediately afterward, Lu Mu saw that all the knights and priests were connected by powerful Holy Light, becoming a collective before the knights recognized their enemy.

After all, even the doctor Deng Xian could not escape from the summoning technique, so what did he count as?

"Buzz—"

"Bullshit! Otherwise, they would have been taken away by those few thieves!"

The White Gate echoed with a three-dimensional buzzing sound, followed by a sprinkling of small, dead insects, like an old man coughing blood, vomiting out his still-unrotted internal organs.

"Don't take anything, those who set up the teleportation gate help everyone watch!"

No wonder so many of those believers are knights.

"Leave slowly, if you leave late, you will become a believer!"

Judging from that, what they need is not a doctor, but an endless number of believers.

Getting closer, Lu Mu finally heard their prayers and carefully observed the warrior believers who had been drawn into the Holy See by the words of faith or summoning techniques, discovering that most of them were on the path of knights, with excellent physical qualities, ranging from eighth to first rank.

"Guide your path, shepherd your actions, abandon your flesh, but not your faith…" the eight newly promoted believers chanted.

【Very good, he has felt the faith.】

Immediately afterward, the White Gate opened.

The knights who scattered the Holy Light bled from their orifices, their armor shattered, their chests sunken, and eight quietly died like mosquito blood under the White Gate, while the remaining fourteen were pushed back a few steps, standing up again like zombies.

Reforming their ranks, the knights prepared for the seventh round; the priests and Lu Mu naturally used divine magic and self-healing to retreat and heal, restoring the vitality of the entire knight order.

Lu Mu finally knew where the bloodstains splattered behind the door came from—it turned out that after he arrived, Father Bai Xu had been driving the believer warriors to smash the door with their bodies?

"Damn it, we should have thought of it long ago, such a strong doctor, recruiting him under his command with the summoning technique, a great profit!"

When the Holy Light subsided, Lu Mu's main body returned to the grotesque jigsaw, comforting it well, and then stood up as the priest raised his palm, walking towards the prayer circle with them.

The warriors outside the Hunting Country camp realized something was wrong.

"When did the Holy See have a summoning technique?"

"Now we can begin," Father Bai Xu stood back in the center of the prayer circle, like a general on the battlefield, turning the entire formation to face the White Gate.

Only the warriors responsible for setting up the teleportation gate had a mission and could not spare themselves, and at this moment, they were all disregarding the loss of magic, fully accelerating the progress of the project, fearing that they would become mosquito blood under the White Gate.

Then, the Holy Light erupted on the seventy-seven knights, and the seventh round of heavy hammering began.

Of course, Bai Xu himself was not in this collective, nor was Lu Mu, nor was Hannibal.

Immediately afterward, the knights rushed towards the insect-infested White Gate like torches filled with Holy Light, one after another.

When the door opens, the priest from the First Division of the Holy See will definitely rush in to kill, trying to leave Demon King City with the head of some high-level demon, completing his journey of exile…

"This is my friend…"

So Lu Mu did not hide anything, while strengthening the "self-healing" of all the knights and priests, greatly increasing their healing speed.

This was exactly what Lu Mu expected.

A figure of the right time stood behind the door.

As he spoke, another eight strands of Holy Light fell, summoning eight warriors from the Hunting Country into believers, joining the ranks of the knight order.

This round stunned the warriors outside the Hunting Country camp, and they finally remembered the terror of the Holy See, unconsciously taking a few steps back, fearing being splattered with blood.

"Light," Bai Xu chanted a spell, and the seventy-seven knights walked out of the prayer circle, their bodies erupting with intense Holy Light.

Although the first round of the knight order's fierce attack had caused a lot of self-inflicted damage, it had also smashed a huge crack in the White Gate.

"Guide your path, shepherd your actions, abandon your flesh, but not your faith…"

Thinking a step further, could it be that Bai Xu also regarded the warriors outside the Hunting Country camp as reserve hammers, waiting to finish shepherding this batch before summoning another batch?

They still murmured in their mouths.

Lu Mu understood Father Bai Xu's battle tactics, feeling that it was not much different from a demon, and immediately cheered in his heart.

Lu Mu also felt the strengthening of power and the powerful loss of vitality from the grotesque jigsaw.

"Guide your path, shepherd your actions, abandon your flesh, but not your faith…"

Lu Mu was also looking forward to the scene of the White Gate being smashed to pieces and the flies dancing all over the sky.

A violent tremor struck, and the grotesque jigsaw immediately withered a piece, the entire danger zone shook a few times, and the objects outside the Hunting Country camp clattered!

The holy light enveloped Hannibal's entire body, and Li Yue controlled him to stand up tremblingly, as Larry had expected in his heart, drawing a holy octagon on his forehead with his left hand, saluting the priest, and playing the role of a believer touched by faith.

If it goes on like this, it is only a matter of time before the White Gate is broken, and Bai Xu himself has not received any damage, obviously also preserving his strength.

"It seems we can only wait for Mr. Hunteral to arrive…"

Of course, some clever warriors also thought that if Father Bai Xu needed to replenish the number of believers, he would inevitably take action against those in the camp, and some already had the idea of leaving the Eighth Time Zone.

So the warriors outside the Hunting Country camp packed their luggage and became a chaotic mess, including merchants and blacksmiths.

"Knights go first!"

"Bang bang bang…"

But just as the knight order was about to smash into the White Gate, the crack suddenly trembled.

It's good that I'm not human.

"Damn it, the lunatics of the Holy See are going to do something big…"

"This is my friend," the knights suddenly added such a sentence in a strange prayer rhythm.

Although Lu Mu's acting was boring, he completely didn't know what a summoning technique was, guessing that it should be similar to the priest's "words of faith," both being some kind of Holy See magic that shakes people's hearts.

At this time, the warriors of the Hunting Country camp were calm.
