I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#54 - The Sea Called Skull

Ravines plowed into Steel City, and the wheel-shaped siege beasts also transformed into phantom images, stirring the air into layers of ripples, cleaving the scattered holy light along the way…

In the next instant, they would crash into the towering city walls on the opposite side of the battlefield.

However, at this moment, the holy light enveloping the teleported heroes suddenly converged, intersecting on the closest path of the three wheel-shaped siege beasts, presenting a pure and flawless “door.”

The door was only a thin layer, yet it completely obstructed and isolated the air on the opposite side—viewed from the siege beast battle formation, one could see the castle with its scattered flames outside the door, but inside the door was a surging and deep ocean.

There were no ships on the sea, and rolling dark clouds unleashed lightning straight down, completely out of place here, like another world entirely.

The wheel-shaped siege beasts headed straight into the “door,” and if they maintained their course, they would undoubtedly be teleported to another location—which also meant that Li Yue, in the shadow space, and the seemingly nonexistent Shadow… would lose their qualification for the simulated battle.

In that instant, Shadow couldn't even determine whether the siege beast it was attached to was the “1” lucky siege beast that would breach Steel City, but it still followed the pre-arranged plan, instantly tugging at the shadow of the wheel-shaped siege beast through the “Twist Kill” method, slightly altering its course…

Silently, two wheel-shaped siege beasts passed through the teleportation gate one after another, splitting the sea surface inside the gate, and falling into the depths of the ocean; one wheel-shaped siege beast barely avoided the teleportation gate and rushed towards the outside of Steel City…

Because of the slight change in direction, even if the siege beast that luckily avoided the teleportation gate hit, it would not be able to completely destroy Steel City, at most only smashing a corner of it.

And this siege beast was precisely the one that Li Yue, Shadow, and the Bone Sorcerers were attached to.

“Still only one hit…” Shadow mused, feeling that its addition seemed to have changed nothing.

The wheel-shaped siege beast transformed into a phantom, and the piercing sound of breaking the sound barrier was still behind it; and until this moment, the third Archmage still hadn't made a move.

However, at the king's tent, which had originally been cleansed by holy light and was completely devoid of evil, a figure holding a quill and parchment suddenly appeared beside the tattered tent when the three wheel-shaped siege beasts started and rushed towards Steel City.

“The Archmage intercepted 2 siege beasts halfway, but 1 still breached the city walls…” Damon Benben smiled, playfully crossing out a “1” on the parchment.

Looking at the tight space on the parchment, Damon Benben forcefully stuffed the quill after the crossed-out number, adding a horizontal stroke, seemingly wanting to write a number representing “5.”

But just as Damon Benben wanted to make the second stroke, his arm quickly withered, as if unable to support this level of “twisting.”

“Alas…” Damon Benben sighed, then wrote a “2” after that horizontal stroke, but halfway through, he勉强提气 and changed the “2” he originally wanted to write into a “3.”

“The Archmage intercepted 2 siege beasts, but 3 still breached the city walls…” Damon Benben's arm was withered, but he nodded in satisfaction, then said in a somewhat fierce tone, “Dare to make me bathe in holy light, I will make you pay the price…”

Thus, the wheel-shaped siege beast that Shadow was attached to, when it crashed into the walls of Steel City, suddenly split from 1 into 3, simultaneously passing through the wall!

The three ravines were cut off by the Archmage's teleportation gate, but were reborn under Damon Benben's “twisting,” appearing at the foot of the city, then breaking ground, urging the city, stirring up dust, and bringing countless deaths.

Heaven and earth were silent for a moment, and then time began to move again, awakening countless cries of pain and sinister laughter.

On the city and in the city, whether it was the demon expeditionary army or the humans defending the city, all turned into minced meat in this attack; and the cracked city was like a demon's mouth howling to the sky, calling for more bloody slaughter.

The winged demons and red-skinned demons in the air finally found a breakthrough, roaring in like blood dragons, echoing the giant mouth of the broken city.

And Li Yue, who had just been thrown out of the shadow space by Shadow, knew nothing.

“Not bad luck…? ” Li Yue stood under the city, sensing the cracked city and the dust and mist rising all over the sky, and hurriedly told Shadow to collect the seven Bone Sorcerers.

Shadow did not answer, and Li Yue thought it was because the corpses constantly falling from the city walls caused the shadows to be too chaotic, so he didn't notice.

The shouts of killing started again, and holy light and magic re-added countless dangers to the damaged side of the city wall, while Li Yue and Shadow shrank under a broken wall, watching countless demon wolf cavalry climb up the city wall along the broken wall and attack the city.

“Next? ” Shadow strangled the neck of a soldier captain rushing towards Li Yue, slowly asking, expressing impatience.

Li Yue looked at the corpse on the ground with its neck twisted 180 degrees, repeatedly self-suggesting that this was all simulated by the Blood River, and he was playing a very immersive game…

After a moment of silence to adjust his state, Li Yue then said: “Next, it's our time…”

“Bone Sorcerers, two.” Li Yue instructed Shadow, and the shadow suddenly squirmed, “spitting” out two shaky Bone Sorcerers.

When the Bone Sorcerers held up their staffs and began to cast spells, magic with extreme death intent spread along the battlefield, and the corpse of the soldier beside Li Yue suddenly turned its head, and its flesh and blood visibly dissipated.

When he stood up again, his entire body was withered of flesh and blood, leaving only some internal organs hanging in his sternum.

Similarly, within a few hundred meters of this battlefield, those dead humans, demon wolves, and red-skinned demons all stood up again as half-corpses and half-skeletons, slowly twisting their seemingly rusted skeletons, picking up the knives, swords, and weapons on the ground, and turning their heads towards the direction of Steel City.

Some of their eye sockets still had eyeballs hanging in them, but they no longer turned, and there was no trace of light.

“You, guard these two.” Li Yue roughly drew a hundred skeleton soldiers on the spot to be on guard, guarding the Bone Sorcerers who continued to cast spells.

“The rest, attack… the enemy.” Li Yue paused, and the remaining skeletons rattled their teeth, scattering and rushing towards all humans within sight.

“You, stop.” Li Yue called out to the human captain who had fallen beside him at the beginning.

“Giggle? ” The skeleton had no emotion in its eyes, only a desire for blood.

“Graveyard… where is it? ”

“Giggle! ” The skeleton said the three burial grounds in Steel City.

“Have any blessings or spells targeting the undead been cast…? ” Li Yue looked at the holy light constantly falling from the city head, unsure of the extent to which the Blood River could simulate.

“Giggle… ” The skeleton looked puzzled.

“You, lead them to attack the graveyard.” Li Yue pointed to a Bone Sorcerer behind him to this skeleton captain, and then drew hundreds of skeleton soldiers, “We need… more of our kind.”

“Giggle! ” The skeleton rejoiced, striding away to take orders.

Without waiting for Shadow to ask, Li Yue took heavy steps, following a group of demon wolf cavalry and skeletons attacking the city head of Steel City, and spread the blooming withered white ocean further.

The white ripples were like water splashing against the city walls, rolling forward in an irregular rising and falling manner; Li Yue became an inconspicuous wave in the sea of skeletons, covering his whole body with bone ash, and slowly advancing with a skull floating.

Passing by a half-skeleton pressed under the broken walls, Li Yue moved his bone sword and used his mind to free it—the skeleton grabbed a broadsword, its teeth constantly opening and closing, making a strange and continuous “click click” sound, crawling and following the tide.

The “click click” sound gathered into pieces, being挟裹 by this withered white tide, Li Yue stopped after advancing a hundred meters, instructing Shadow to release a new Bone Sorcerer.

The new Bone Sorcerer became a new spring, constantly summoning new life force, continuously spreading the scope of the bone wave…

When Li Yue released all the Bone Sorcerers, it seemed that there were seven more movable water columns on the city wall—flesh and blood faded away, and surging white bones swept forward, spreading a plague called “Skeleton” on the city.

Thus, on the dividing line between the bone wave and the crowd, human soldiers could often see such a scene—comrades who were originally fighting side by side, either had their necks cut by the claws of demon wolves, or had their necks twisted with an inaudible “click”… In the sound of blood collapsing and bones cracking, the comrade's face suddenly withered, and then turned into a skeleton, and then became a new enemy.

They reaped new souls with the guns and swords in their hands.

There were no more Bone Sorcerers in the shadow space, and Shadow finally unloaded its restraints, constantly moving quickly on the battlefield, quickly attacking and killing heroes and human soldiers with shadow thorns and twist kills, helping the bone sea to advance.

Of course, there would be holy light shining, but it was fragmented under the internal and external attacks of the skeleton sea and demon wolf cavalry, unable to cause effective interception.

In this way, Li Yue was inside the city wall, walking along the city root from the damaged to the intact, and suddenly saw the ground cracking, and an “acquaintance” drilling out from the ground.
