I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue used all his strength to barely lift Dandan with his mind—even then, it was only accomplished with Dandan constantly helping with its particles.

Li Yue couldn't help but feel he had simplified things a bit—Dandan struggled to even move its body, how could it act as a shield in the lightning-fast heat of battle?

Its usage needed further consideration; perhaps it could be used freely after Dandan became a sensory object… or… maybe with Yingying's help.

“Although it’s not very polite, I have to say, your strength isn’t great.” Dandan's main body was effortless, but the particles supporting it had already collapsed several times. “Are all creatures on the Chaos Continent… this weak?”

Li Yue knew it was asking for a “heavy blow,” and he couldn't resist the urge to draw his bone sword and give it a Withered Thorn: “Of course not, I’m not exactly known for my strength.”

“Your hand… seems a bit different?” Dandan used its particles to form a line, pointing at Li Yue's right hand. “It has an aura I quite like.”

“Oh? What do you like?” Li Yue pretended not to know, but in his heart, he was thinking it was a good thing Dandan hadn't encountered Posh or the Heart of Purgatory, otherwise, those pure-blooded demons and the Heart of Purgatory would be much more attractive than his right hand.

“A scorching taste.” Dandan's particles flowed between the magic patterns on Li Yue's right hand, bringing a cool sensation.

“Like this?” Li Yue released lava, quickly enveloping the particles between the magic patterns.

The remaining particles supporting Dandan's body surged over like they had found honey, almost solidifying the lava that Li Yue had just released.

“Yes! Yes, yes!” Dandan's main body was very excited. “I didn't expect you could do this; that gives me another reason to stay…”

“I can help you take a bath later.” Li Yue said calmly, “First, support your own body properly…”

The particles had swarmed over just now, and Dandan's main body had unexpectedly fallen to the ground, smashing a large pit.

“Okay, when?” Dandan勉力召回, barely managed to recall the particles, barely supporting its body. The entire egg was invaded by heat, feeling wonderfully comfortable.

“Soon.” Li Yue staggered every three steps, having only walked halfway, arriving with Dandan at the outer edge of the core area.

The sound of Dandan falling to the ground attracted Yingying. The shadow demon, who had finally quieted down for a moment, saw the bizarre scene on the lava path, and its curiosity naturally exploded.

“This is… what are you doing?” Yingying didn't understand Li Yue's actions—hands full of lava, supporting a silver egg, was he roasting it? And he didn't even call me?

“Hello, I am Dandan, a 'Spader' juvenile, the master of the home planet…” Dandan's particles sensed the change in the shadow and began to introduce itself.

“Dandan, Yingying; Yingying, Dandan…” Li Yue quickly introduced the two demons to each other, completing the first official meeting of the three worlds. “Dandan will be traveling with us for now, why don't you come over and help?”

Without needing to say much, Yingying saw Li Yue's struggle and, out of curiosity, instantly merged into their shadows, sensing Dandan's state up close.

Strangely, this time not just one shadow darted in, but shadows floated in from all directions, like birds flying on the ground, in twos and threes, linked wing to wing, without any order; some shadows even rushed past them, crashing into the walls of the lava path.

“What's wrong with you?” Li Yue noticed Yingying's abnormality and asked decisively.

“Broken! It's really broken there!” Even the writing on the ground was a double image for Yingying, intersecting and tilting, with missing lines and words, making it difficult for Li Yue to discern. “I went to see, the core area, it's all broken, I'm broken too…”

“Many fragments of forbidden books… and some contracts… notes… it feels very unusual…”

Yingying wrote a lot of rambling words, and it took Li Yue a long time to understand the current situation in the core area—emanating from the soul altar, the entire huge cave within the area was in a fragmented state; Yingying was split the moment it entered, barely escaping after investigating the altar's state, and became like this.

Everything written is a double image.

Fortunately, Yingying's “weakness” doesn't include splitting; as long as it has time to find the right position, it can still recombine into one—but until then, Li Yue and Dandan can only endure the torment of double-imaged words.

And because it fled in a hurry, Yingying didn't have time to study the specific contents of the remnants within the space, only able to conclude that it was “very unusual.”

Hearing this description, Li Yue was naturally even more interested in the interior of that fragmented space—although Buddybooth was dead, there were still a few questions in the upper level of the library that hadn't been answered…

Such as the lost library authority, such as the magic distribution of the entire library, such as the meaning of “Little Cloak.”

If there were answers, they would obviously be found in the fragmented space next to the altar.

“Split? I'm looking forward to it… I haven't split before.” Dandan finally managed to understand Yingying's writing and, like Li Yue, was eager to try. “I didn't expect to experience such a novel thing so quickly… Is it like this everywhere here?”

Dandan's question was difficult for Li Yue to answer—Demon King City was a product of chaos, that's true, but a fragmented environment like this, where the imagined space was blasted apart by the Heart of Purgatory… probably wasn't common, right?

“Quick, take me there.” Dandan's mobility was limited, and the tiny particles turned into two small feet, moving with difficulty while urging Li Yue.

Li Yue called Yingying to help, and the three demons worked together to drag Dandan along, which was indeed much faster—after crashing into the wall three or five times, the three demons finally arrived outside the core area.

Opening his senses, Li Yue found that the situation within the entire fragmented space was complicated and confusing, and he couldn't find a way to enter at all, as if even thoughts could be cut.

“It's indeed very peculiar.” Dandan seemed to have discovered some mystery. “Quick, quickly throw me in to try…”

“Don't rush.” Li Yue restrained Dandan and turned to telepathically communicate with Yingying, “Besides being broken, is there any other feeling?”

Li Yue was worried that the situation would get out of control and wanted to understand more about the unknown as much as possible.

“No, as long as you don't die when it's broken, you can go in.” Yingying was very sure. “Do you want to try?”

Having witnessed Li Yue's one-sided crushing of Buddybooth, Yingying was very respectful to Li Yue.

Li Yue thought to himself that if he went in, he wouldn't even know how he died, so of course, he didn't answer, revealing his profoundness in silence.

“But Dandan might be able to, he… she… it seems very tough.” Yingying couldn't determine whether Dandan was male or female, so he used all the pronouns.

“'It' is good, I like it, what should I call you?” Dandan felt that he had found a common language with Yingying and asked about Yingying's gender.

Yingying was stunned and turned to ask Li Yue: “If we get married, are there any restrictions on this?”

Li Yue furrowed his brow, his eyes filled with question marks—you're actually asking this?

Ignoring this question, Li Yue focused his mind on the entrance of the fragmented space, trying to sense the direction of the cracks inside. He suddenly realized that as long as there was enough time… even if his main body couldn't enter, he should be able to find a passage with his mind, and then sense the specific condition of the altar.

“Dandan, are you ready?” Li Yue was preparing to throw the egg to ask for directions—one was to test Dandan's own strength, and the other was to test how the broken space could return to normal.

“I was born ready.” Dandan's particle feet were slightly bent, ready to jump into the broken space at any time. “But when I come back, can you help me take a bath?”

“It's a deal.” Li Yue nodded and called Yingying to work together.

Throw the egg—the remaining secrets of the library will be revealed by this egg.

“Bite my demon butt… what's going on?” Sensing the terrifying changes in space, Li Yue even cursed out Posh's catchphrase.
