I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue's definition of "battle opportunity" was absolute chaos—the remaining forces of the expeditionary army were attacking with all their might, and the Grand Magi who controlled teleportation were casting spells. They probably wouldn't have any energy left to worry about the meteor in the sky, leaving it to the First or Third Grand Magus to handle...

As expected, it was the second ice spear—the Grand Magus intertwined his thumbs, and the perfect ice spear began to take shape again.

【Accelerate the meteor... Envelop them... Neck rotation...】

This was the information Li Yue had read in the Demon Illustrated Handbook before Yingying left—although it only had a 67.5% accuracy rate, Li Yue believed it was enough to serve as a reference, proving that Yingying was preparing to use some extremely powerful killing move.

And without the guidance of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, Li Yue could also see that Bosh and the personal guards' target was the human commander. Even if the Third Grand Magus took action, it should be aimed at the commander of the expeditionary army, not an insignificant fluorescent skull...

Below the main city gate and on the walls, countless skeletons and demon wolf warriors were sprinting, entangled in fierce battles with the remaining few human warriors and heroes, soon to be submerged in the sea of skeletons.

Predictably, regardless of the outcome, the process would create great chaos near the main city gate, and that was the so-called "battle opportunity."

Li Yue decided to seek the greatest result—assassinating the human commander or one of the two Grand Magi.

Li Yue guessed that these three must still have a considerable degree of protective power, depending on how they would switch and use them when the real chaos occurred...

Mental power, soul impact, bone sword—looking back at himself, Li Yue's choices were limited. He still didn't plan to use the "summon" function on the Demon Illustrated Handbook, deciding to approach the center of the battlefield using "disguise."

Forcibly tearing off a skeleton from a nearby skeleton warrior with his mental power, Li Yue took uneven steps, waving his arms randomly, occasionally falling to the ground and scrambling, like a skeleton soldier who had lost his mind and combat power.

While rushing forward, Li Yue threw the bone sword first, lightly inserting it into the city wall under the main city gate's platform, then picked up a half-broken broadsword on the ground and ran towards the bottom of the main city gate.

Then, Li Yue was blocked by a clockwork warrior who had been teleported over.

Li Yue was prepared. He jumped high, seeming to slash at the top of the clockwork warrior's head; the clockwork warrior shot out a fist as Li Yue expected, striking Li Yue's jumping trajectory in mid-air.

At the instant he was hit by the fist, Li Yue forcibly commanded the skeleton to scatter, while the skull and arm bones seemed to lose control due to excessive inertia, continuing to fall towards the half-height of the city wall...

Until it hung on the bone sword inserted under the platform, like a dead skeleton soldier.

Under Li Yue's mental control, although the skull hung on the sword in a very anti-gravity manner, no one noticed it amidst the chaos.

At the same time, this skull did not relax its perception of the situation on the platform for a moment, looking for the most suitable time to strike; immediately afterwards, the shadow enveloped Steel City, and the meteor approached the city.

The meteor seemed to be dragged by a shadow, inexplicably accelerating a little—this speed was noticed by the Grand Magus on the platform, forcing him to release the ice spear before it was fully formed, shooting it towards the huge fireball in the sky that seemed to devour the earth.

Almost at the same time, Li Yue sensed that most of the creatures on the city wall had their heads turned a full circle at the moment they were enveloped by the meteor's shadow.

"Crack—"

The sound of neck bones echoed across the battlefield in a continuous stream during the brief lull in the shouts of killing, as if it were surround sound around the ears.

The skulls of the skeletons also turned a circle, and for a moment they couldn't find the right direction, and the angle of the charge was scattered for a moment.

The wolf heads of the demon wolf warriors turned a circle, drooping their ears and tongues and falling to the ground, then their flesh and blood receded, turning into skeletons and standing up again.

The red-skinned demon's head turned a circle, and after screaming in pain, he twisted his neck, jumped off the demon wolf and continued to kill.

And the human heads turned a circle, whether it was steam-powered machines, clockwork warriors, soldiers, or weaker heroes, none of them stood up again...

They, like the demon wolf warriors, receded their flesh and blood, becoming skeletons, turning around and attacking the heroes who resisted Yingying's twist kill, attacking the reinforcements who were subsequently teleported over, and gathering battles of a hundred against one broke out everywhere on and below the city!

Li Yue refocused his mental power on the platform, and found that the human commander and the two Grand Magi above only hummed, and were not affected by Yingying's group "twist kill."

Immediately afterwards, the meteor on the city wall was pierced and split into countless small pieces by the second ice spear, turning into fiery rain and falling down, along with the shadows that were scattered and incomplete.

But this not only did not contain Yingying's killing intent, but also provided him with a larger stage—the scattered shadows seemed to be sewn together by a rapidly moving line, and while allowing the fiery rain in the air to gather together, it also created countless faint lines on the city wall!

【Shadow sewing... Shadow thorns... Completely sever...】

Li Yue couldn't help but wonder if in the next second those faint lines would turn into sharp entities, filling the field with minced meat and broken bones, leaving no inch of complete flesh!

But it was only an imagination—the Second Grand Magus's teleportation seemed to be suddenly interrupted, and the holy light enveloping the reinforcements in the air changed its shape, vaguely separating the thin lines between shadows, and incidentally enveloping the reinforcements who had just been teleported over, gradually fading their figures...

"Heh."

The human commander on the side suddenly smiled.

Li Yue suddenly felt bad—what was he smiling at? The meteor re-aggregated, and the reinforcements disappeared. Under such a world-destroying blow, wouldn't the outer city soon fall?

The human commander had a faint smile on his face, parrying Bosh and the personal guard's attacks, as if talking to himself: "All the forces, only attack the outer city... Then why not let this fiery rain fall?"

"But there are also some demons who are not afraid of fiery rain, and will become even stronger because of resentment... The red ones."

The Second Grand Magus said in a deep voice, his voice clear and beautiful.

"Then leave it to me, there's no need for the last one to appear."

The robe mage's magic power was a little disordered after casting the ice spear, but he instantly adjusted his state, moving his fingers extremely quickly, as if he had picked up all the scattered ice crystals in the sky.

Each tiny ice crystal merged with the scattered fireballs, instantly extinguishing the raging flames on it, turning into ice crystals reflecting cold prisms in mid-air!

Li Yue was shocked, and suddenly knew where the problem was—when the meteor attacked, there were still many soldiers on the outer city wall, so there was the Grand Magus's ice spear to counterattack. Now that most of the soldiers have died in Yingying's "twist kill", if the commander and the Grand Magi leave, the ice rain scattered in the sky... Wouldn't it be the end of the demon expeditionary army?

"The last one still has to appear, please ask him to block it, don't affect the inner city."

The human commander was enveloped in holy light, and his figure tended to fade.

Then Li Yue saw a little starlight—that starlight suddenly lit up on the shadow projected on the ground, tearing the extreme night like a nova, instantly dispelling Yingying's existence.

At the same time, starlight lit up between the inner city and the outer city, as if covered with a layer of phantom screen, even the outline of the inner city was blurred.

Obviously, the Third Grand Magus took action, and the entire inner city was protected by him.

The ice rain fell, the red-skinned demons howled in the extremely cold air, Bosh and his personal guards were repeatedly hit by ice crystals, lost their ability and fell to the ground, and Li Yue was also frozen on the wall under the platform...

Just like that? The commander of the demon expeditionary army and the main force... died under the combined force of the red-robed priest Redcoat, Yingying, and the Grand Magi in the ice rain?

Died at the hands of their own people?

After fighting to the end, they only destroyed an outer city?

The commander and the Grand Magi were about to leave, and Li Yue knew that if he wanted to make a desperate gamble, there was only now—whether it was the rage caused by the dying Bosh in the sky, or the bloodthirsty instinct aroused by the slaughter he had experienced, or both...

Li Yue acted.

"It doesn't matter, the King... won't abandon me..."

The voice of the giant sword hero came from under the platform.

The human commander was slightly stunned, and stayed for a moment longer.

Li Yue launched a soul impact from behind the human commander, and at the same time, the bone sword pierced out, shooting towards the commander's neck!
