I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#3 - Demonic Illustrated Book

At this moment, Li Yue had no other thoughts in his mind, only the approaching Demon Wolf Fendis in his sight. Google search read

There was no fairness, nor impotent rage—all Li Yue could do was try his best to fight against fate, just like when he was born as a human in his previous life.

"Formation!" Li Yue took the sickle and also took over the command of the entire team of Brainlings.

The Brainlings' formation had instantly loosened when the Chief died, but upon hearing the voice that resounded in their minds, they subconsciously chose to obey, reorganizing to carry out the Chief's arrangements.

As Li Yue's attention completely focused, the process of the Demon Wolf Fendis rushing over seemed to turn into slow motion—its massive body did not affect its coordination, and the magic-nourished bones allowed it to withstand this intensity of movement, approaching at high speed with both hands and feet; the injuries caused by the Minotaur Great Horn had not fully recovered, so patches of blood were sprinkled on the ground, and every time it exerted force to shift between its fore and hind limbs, it would tear open even larger wounds…

The turf and soil on the ground were constantly overturned, which also signified the power of the Demon Wolf, like a declaration, proclaiming that the Brainlings' bodies could not withstand its casual strike; halfway through the journey, the Demon Wolf did not slow down at all, apparently unable to brake or launch a standing attack when it rushed in front of the Brainlings…

A line of prompts that could not be ignored suddenly popped up in Li Yue's mind, but Li Yue, who was calculating the speed of the Demon Wolf and the Brainlings, had no way to think about the meaning of this line of prompts, because he had to issue an order at this moment.

"Scatter and evade!" Li Yue abandoned the arrangement of having the first group entangle with Fendis—at the speed of the Demon Wolf, everything in its path would be directly killed, and having knives, swords, or shields would be useless.

The Brainlings had no obstacles in communication and understanding, and instantly understood Li Yue's intention, each driving their bodies to make way for Fendis's charge.

Also at this moment, the muscles in the Demon Wolf's legs swelled violently, and even Li Yue suspected that its relatively slender ankles and waist… could withstand this force—Fendis leaped high, opened a pair of wolf claws, and pounced from the air!

The Brainlings made way for the Demon Wolf's charge, but there were still two Brainlings with less-than-perfect circuits that fell into its attack range—the Demon Wolf landed with a bang, slapping two Brainlings to death with one palm, the shield Brainlings of the second group.

13 left.

Amidst the audience's exclamations, dust rose, obscuring the location of the Demon Wolf Fendis; Li Yue and the surviving Brainlings dodged the first blow, and also did not forget to shoot a few arrows and guns at the place where the dust rose, according to the arrangement.

A total of five muskets, three misfired, one deviated, and only one hit Fendis; the hit rate of the crossbow bolts was higher, but they only returned a few "puff puff" sounds of entering flesh in the smoke and dust.

It really wasn't a fair fight…

Li Yue commanded the Brainlings to re-form their formation, and finally saw the shadow in the smoke and dust expanding, the Demon Wolf Fendis walking out standing up—a lead bullet shattered on its arm, and three crossbow bolts were inserted into Fendis's neck, back, and the base of its thigh respectively, mixed with its bare hair, hardly causing any effective damage.

This was all of the Brainlings' counterattack.

"Ah—" The audience seemed amazed at the Brainlings' courage, screaming strangely on the stage, a chaotic mess.

Seeing the Demon Wolf walk out of the smoke and dust, the Brainlings of the first group also began to hunt dutifully as arranged, wielding knives, swords, and spears, all hacking up…

This was not an attack for Fendis, but more like a provocation—it waved its wolf claws to brush away the knives and swords, and flashed to attack the Brainling closest to it…

"Dodge!" The Brainlings of the second group used telekinesis to control Fendis's attack target to retreat rapidly, barely dodging this claw.

At the same time, Li Yue also began to think about the meaning of this line of information—was it analyzing the Demon Wolf Fendis's actions? Was this the standard external plug-in for a transmigrator? How should it take effect?

Although Li Yue could not understand everything that was happening in front of him, this did not affect adjusting his tactics accordingly—no matter what was being analyzed, there would always be a result, so time was his temporary friend.

Endure until the analysis was complete, and he would know the function of this plug-in; even if he couldn't endure until the analysis was completed, he had to endure until the second round.

After Li Yue thought about it, he decisively gave up letting the Brainlings of the first group carry out those tickling attacks: "Withdraw your knives and swords, feint attacks, use them to attract the Demon Wolf's attention…"

Along with Li Yue's order, the Brainlings also gave up the idea of killing Fendis with broken knives and swords, and instead started to perform deceptive moves everywhere, dazzling—the long sword could have stabbed the Demon Wolf's thigh, but instead turned a corner and swept the Demon Wolf's tail, cutting off a few hairs; the cleaver could have chopped towards the Demon Wolf's huge ear, but suddenly lifted up like a cat teaser, causing Fendis to grab at nothing…

The shields carried by the Brainlings of the second group also became very good shelters, the Brainlings connecting the shields of different lengths sporadically, swiftly moving within them, to avoid the fatal wolf claws; the Demon Wolf Fendis certainly knew to attack the Brainlings themselves, but the constant harassment of the knives and swords made it irritable, and the difference in size also became the Brainlings' advantage, causing the Demon Wolf to be like a giant, trying hard to drive away a dozen mosquitoes around it… or rather, the kind of mosquitoes that can use telekinesis.

Li Yue appropriately distanced himself slightly, trying his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart, consuming Fendis amidst the Brainlings' continuous battle losses—the battle developed towards a slightly calmer state, but the audience patiently did not burst into boos, because they all knew that this calmness… would not last long before it was broken.

The number of Brainlings was limited—five minutes passed, the Brainlings hardly caused any damage to Fendis, but only seven Brainlings remained alive… Fortunately, even if the weapons were shattered by the wolf claws, they could still have a harassing effect, and they became more and more messy, more and more annoying to the wolf…

During this period, Li Yue also thought about attacking Fendis's lower abdomen, but the Demon Wolf was extremely vigilant about the vicinity of its wound, sometimes even giving up killing Brainlings to protect it, which made Li Yue even more certain of its weakness.

Unfortunately, Li Yue could not fully grasp Fendis's actions, and the means to cause fatal damage to its lower abdomen were extremely scarce, gradually being forced into a helpless situation.

Only waiting.

Damn it? Progress bar stuck?

Even with Li Yue's self-cultivation, he couldn't help but feel the fire surge to his forehead—only five Brainlings remained, and in the blink of an eye, another one was slapped to death by Fendis.

"Awoo—" The blood hole in Fendis's lower abdomen was still there, but it seemed to have smelled the scent of victory, howling loudly at the black mist in the northwest grandstand.

Lowering its head, Fendis grinned, its wolf claws slightly open, pointing at the surviving Brainlings one by one, pointing four times.

"First round—end—intermission—" The deep voice rang out like a life-saving bell, the sackcloth demon jumping out of the black mist and shouting, its joy overflowing.

That was the bookmaker's ecstasy.

"Ugh—" The audience booed, they wanted to see the Brainlings die, all dead in the first round.

"3, 2, 1… Intermission over—battle restarts—" The sackcloth demon's voice hardly paused, playing tricks on everyone in the arena, and also crushing the Brainlings' hopes…

Is this really called an intermission? This is an intermission farce, right? Is this the demon's way of doing things?

Li Yue was full of anxiety.

And just as the sackcloth demon sentenced the Brainlings to death, a prompt finally popped up in Li Yue's mind, receiving the only good news since transmigrating.

【Analysis complete, Demon Illustrated Handbook recorded 134—Demon Wolf Warrior】

【Demon Wolf Warrior; Distribution: Forbidden Forest/Arena; Lifespan: 100-200 years; Habits: Solitary and violent, will fight with its own kind over a slight argument, until it kills them, but is absolutely obedient to the Demon Wolf King; Hobbies: Fighting/Fresh flesh; Skills: Claw strike/Pounce/Bite; Action prediction success rate: 99.73%; Weakness: Lower abdomen.】

【Current object… Status: Weak/Enraged…】

When Li Yue focused his mind on the Demon Wolf Fendis again, the prompt given by the "Demon Illustrated Handbook" really gave him a breath of relief.

【Run forward, claw strike on the right; Run forward, claw strike on the right…】

The Demon Illustrated Handbook reminded Li Yue of Fendis's next plan, and Li Yue also used the Brainlings' powerful thinking ability to formulate a counterattack strategy at the fastest speed.
