I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Seeing the townspeople suddenly become more imposing, Li Yue naturally realized things were not good.

Logically speaking, although Li Yue had only just transmigrated, he had been in this town for some time, and since he could sleep soundly at the foot of the mud wall, there shouldn't be any major danger.

But hearing the old man's question and seeing the stake in the square, Li Yue felt that this question should be answered carefully.

If his answer failed to satisfy the old man, he might end up like the people tied to the stake.

"I… I can believe," Li Yue said, not wanting to be burned alive before figuring out his cheat.

"Clang!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Yue was struck hard, a metallic clash ringing behind his head.

Li Yue had been hit by a townsperson with a hoe.

But it didn't hurt at all.

He could even say he felt nothing.

"Vile Chaos…"

From the relentless questioning, Li Yue understood that no god had truly died under the small road; "the collapse of faith" wasn't just a vague statement, but an actual event.

Could this body be some kind of deity?

More doubts arose in Li Yue's heart as he watched the townspeople's attacks as if they were in fast motion, like a fish darting through the crowd.

Not only were blades and spears ineffective, but his movements were also so good?

Then came the deaths of more townspeople.

But more and more townspeople gathered, quickly filling the space, making it impossible for Li Yue to dodge.

Li Yue felt like he was forgetting something.

The hell… he was invulnerable?

Hongyou Town also wanted to start anew, but apparently, it was suppressed by a traveler.

"Speak! What do you want to know! I'll tell you everything!" Seeing Li Yue still adding firewood and picking up the torch, the balding old man shouted desperately.

What was the background of this traveler, being both resistant and agile… could he be a warrior or martial artist?

So the townspeople from neighboring towns, who had long been envious of Hongyou Town's development, occupied the town, attempting to refine Hongyou, which led to the scene Li Yue initially encountered.

Only the vibration and sound reminded Li Yue that it wasn't an illusion.

When a hoe smashed towards Li Yue with unavoidable force, Li Yue waved it away, then thrust out a palm, piercing the townsperson's throat and spine.

The townspeople died one after another, advancing one after another; Li Yue killed his way towards the balding old man on the stake, leaving a trail of corpses along the way.

As the townspeople died, their corpses slumped to the ground, then were trampled underfoot by more townspeople.

The only thing Li Yue could be sure of was that, according to his previous life's understanding, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing.

Withdrawing his palm, Li Yue's entire forearm was slippery and greasy, mixed with blood and oil, and even bone fragments from the townsperson's spine.

His limbs were covered in oil, and Li Yue changed to using farm tools to fight, and surprisingly found them very handy.

Was his strength also so strong?

Wait, that wasn't the most important question.

Li Yue wasn't sure.

The old man wailed and screamed at the stake, his body convulsing, but nothing could stop the impending suffering.

"You can believe, it's better to believe; if you don't believe, then you must believe…" The balding old man said as he slowly backed away, surrounded by townspeople holding farm tools, ropes, and wooden stakes.

Li Yue pondered for a moment, finally starting to deal with the old man.

"I have some things to ask you…" Li Yue broke the balding old man's limbs, hanging him on the stake like snapping grass stalks, then started adding firewood underneath.

Was this body originally a murderer?

This world is dangerous enough…

Huh?

"Burn him! Burn him!" Some of the townspeople forked up the firewood, sending it to the stake.

Moreover, after smashing so many farm tools and corpses, this body was unscathed.

He understood the reasoning, but there were no wounds, not even a feeling of pain…

Hongyou Town was originally named after the red oil, the ingredient for holy cakes, but after the collapse of faith, the town was abandoned, and it was said to have been taken over by the Bone Carriage Sect?

And Li Yue unconsciously twisted his body, dodging the frequently falling hoes, very easily.

Li Yue looked at the corpses on the ground, not daring to believe that he had done all this, and what puzzled him even more was… after doing so much, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

"We don't need a hero!" Seeing the traveler's bravery, a woman in the front row stepped out and shouted, "We have abandoned the holy oil! We will find our own way to survive in a world filled with demons!"

So strong?

But now he did it without any burden.

"We need a hero!" Seeing the traveler's bravery, a woman in the front row stepped out and shouted, "We need a hero to kill this unbeliever!"

The power of this body was really good, breaking his bones was as easy as breaking grass.

Li Yue didn't expect there to be so much background to understand, patiently listening to the balding old man finish speaking, the torch's fire almost went out.

It was as simple as poking a cake.

Li Yue completely didn't understand the logic—what collapse of faith, what holy cake red oil…

During the battle, Li Yue used his arms to smash farm tools, using his head to smash the townspeople's faces, and soon his whole body was covered in blood and oil, like some kind of ingredient waiting to be cooked.

Just after asking, Li Yue felt that this question didn't seem important—these people were binding townspeople to refine corpse oil, and stuffing the corpse oil into their mouths, obviously all crazy.

Li Yue was feeling emotional when the townspeople rushed to his side, wielding farm tools and wooden stakes, trying to knock the tall traveler unconscious and tie him to the stake.

Or had he been influenced by something?

After all, he only knew that this body was invulnerable to blades and spears, and it was uncertain whether it would still have this level of crushing power when encountering guns and artillery.

Huh?

Bone Carriage Sect, Back-Carrying Sect, Veiled Society…

With the old man's eager cooperation, Li Yue learned that this place was Hongyou Town, and this continent was called Chaos Continent.

Moreover, what was an "unbeliever"?

"Why?" Li Yue turned his head.

Hongyou Town, the entire sphere of influence of the old Holy See, and even the distant Sand Kingdom and Snow Kingdom were filled with new faiths.

During Li Yue's slaughter, divisions occurred within the townspeople.

Until the square was covered with the corpses of townspeople, Li Yue finally came before the balding old man.

Newly arrived, Li Yue needed someone who understood this world to help him sort out his thoughts…

At the same time, clear corpse oil flowed from the townspeople's eyes, noses, and mouths, as if what flowed in their bodies was not blood, but oil.

"Hmm? I thought you abandoned the holy oil…" Li Yue looked at the torch, then looked at the old man, asking everything he wanted to ask.

Li Yue was thinking about some things that might or might not exist, still taming his new body.

Li Yue was stunned, not expecting the cheat of this transmigration to be so big.

You hit me?

Li Yue felt that there was something wrong with these people, and his methods became more ruthless.

That's good, no need to be polite with these lunatics.

And upon hearing about the war between the Demon King's city and the empire, and the millennia-long entanglement between demons and heroes, Li Yue didn't have too many thoughts, still thinking that these were strange anecdotes happening far away.

The townspeople of Hongyou Town were busy refining holy oil, and didn't pay too much attention to this war.

Hearing "hero," Li Yue roughly understood the worldview of this world, thinking it wasn't bad, at least he didn't have to face high-tech things like machine guns and grenades.
