I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#180 - In ten steps, I killed him

“Within ten steps, I will kill him.”

Li Yue regarded the Shadow Space as an essential tool for murder, robbery, and closing distances. Within the Shadow Space, the Bone Sword was already covered in death aura, and the "Thorn of Decay" was also prepared, waiting for Shadow to get close to the Hero.

As for the specific posture Shadow would use to approach Lamont, Li Yue didn't care, but he believed it could be done; just as Shadow didn't care how Li Yue would kill the Hero within ten steps, but believed he could do it.

Inside the Shadow Space, Li Yue carefully controlled the range of the death aura to avoid accidentally injuring Shadow.

Outside, Shadow was engaged in a desperate close combat with the Holy Light-infused mist—the sudden disappearance of the skeleton didn't surprise Lamont for long. As a Hero, he had extensive combat experience with demons, knowing that no matter how demons disguised themselves, their ultimate goal was to destroy his physical body or spirit.

Thus, the Holy Mist surged into cyclones, greatly interfering with Shadow's path; and at this moment, Shadow wrote on Egg, asking Egg to cooperate.

In the disordered space on the upper level of the Library, Egg had already demonstrated the effect of a calming needle. The Holy Mist had little effect on Egg—Egg only needed to endure the cyclones one by one to dissolve them, clearing the way for Shadow.

The only obstacle was the whip constantly lashing at Egg—the tip of the whip left holy marks on the eggshell, creating ripples that were absorbed into Egg's body.

Egg felt comfortable, Shadow felt pain.

However, this time Shadow and Egg cooperated very steadily, no longer pursuing speed, but advancing step by step—Shadow sewed Egg's shadow while closing the distance, traversing between the cyclones of Holy Mist.

Neither Galareck nor the Gnoll Chieftain's mace had made Egg retreat, and Lamont's whip alone had no chance of success.

Thus, just before Shadow faded to almost invisibility, Shadow and Egg finally broke through the whip dance, opening a gap.

Ten steps.

Shadow stopped, and Egg was also struck away by Lamont's whip, out of the range of the whip dance.

The skeleton appeared.

Li Yue abandoned the tricks of luring the enemy, confusing the enemy, or using earth遁. Bones were the main body, the sword was the Bone Sword, and the Thorn of Decay was unhesitatingly thrust forward.

The Hero sensed the oncoming death aura and felt as if facing a formidable enemy. In a flash of lightning, he whipped the whip into several spirals, sealing Li Yue's movements and the death aura layer by layer.

Ankles, knees, hips... Li Yue's skeleton was torn apart layer by layer by the force of the whip, and soon only the upper body and arms were left struggling forward; Lamont's entire body was also ablaze with Holy Light, dispelling all evil, gradually shining through Li Yue's skull, making it transparent.

If this continued, before the Thorn of Decay could touch the Hero, Li Yue would be purified first.

Just as the whip force broke the sternum, the tentacles on top of Li Yue's head slightly opened, his blue hair went wild, and the power of wind and thunder appeared!

Electrified hair, allowing the Heroes of two eras to collide beyond time, this was Li Yue's carefully prepared gift for Lamont.

Where the purple lightning passed, Lamont's movements paused slightly, and the tip of the Bone Sword, wrapped in death aura, finally reached his chest.

Lamont had nowhere to avoid, and just as he was about to be stabbed, the light sphere collapsed, and both the Hero and the Son of the Demon were bounced back to the closed combat training classroom.

It was almost as Li Yue had expected—the graduation class could not kill the Son of the Demon, and Isaac was even more reluctant to kill his Hero's soul. As long as they could reach the point of seeing victory or defeat, the battle would inevitably be terminated.

“Admit defeat?” The Sons of the Demon were all in the classroom. Li Yue pieced his shattered body back together before standing up, standing with Egg and Shadow.

Hearing this question, the Sons of the Demon turned pale—they returned at different times, not fully seeing the battle before the throne, and were unsure who would get the Holy Whip.

Of course, this graduation class was not a complete victory for the Sons of the Demon—Isaac had left a trump card on each Hero. Except for the swordsman from the East, who was suppressed to the very end, the other Heroes launched counterattacks, and several successfully turned the tables.

In the end, there were six winners among the Sons of the Demon—Daemon Benben, Reid Kote, Nate Meile, Shadow, Egg, and Li Yue. The wielder of the Holy Whip would be chosen from among the six Sons of the Demon.

“Yes, you won, two matches.” Isaac generously admitted.

“As a Son of the Demon, you are most qualified to receive my Holy Whip.” Isaac didn't meticulously announce the performance of each Son of the Demon like Mento did during the Blood River simulation battle, using the returned Hero's soul as the evaluation standard.

That is to say, Li Yue's combat performance just now completely crushed the other Sons of the Demon.

There might be many factors, but Li Yue's every detail from choosing the Hero to the battle was recognized by Isaac—this mentor who hated Scolrek the most gave a positive evaluation.

Daemon Benben applauded—the Demon Secretary who had written the Hero to death... seeing Li Yue fighting two Heroes in a row for the first time, he now looked at Scolrek with new eyes.

This skeleton... actually succeeded without my help?

It seems that I really need to have a good relationship with him in the future...

“Do you two have any opinions?” Isaac certainly knew that Mento thought highly of Egg, and Lamont was not defeated by Li Yue alone, so he asked additionally.

“It's okay, we are all family.” Egg replied for Shadow—Shadow had faded to the point of being unrecognizable and would need at least a day to recover.

Egg's answer, falling into the ears of the Sons of the Demon, gave them all new feelings—this skeleton... subdued Egg and Shadow?

How strong is his backing? Or is he really that powerful? Even Mento's disciple was subdued by him?

Although the three of them usually hung out together, the Sons of the Demon didn't expect these three guys to be so close—a family? The Library family?

After killing the Pureblood Demon and the Demon Wolf Prince, Li Yue, who dominated the "Hero Studies" graduation class, finally had a solid position among the Sons of the Demon.

“Good.” Isaac pulled the Holy Whip from his stomach and flung it at Li Yue.

Li Yue caught it, but almost dropped it on the ground. He tossed it and found that it weighed about the same as Egg without Shadow. It would be a little difficult to use directly.

“Thank you.” Li Yue wrapped Lamont's Holy Whip around his neck, shoulders, and arms a few times, but it didn't feel very convenient. He finally decided to wrap it around his waist, immediately turning into a barrel waist.

Even though they had realized Li Yue's strength, the Sons of the Demon still showed a moment of infatuation—infatuation with the aura of the strong that the Holy Whip had once been stained with.

With the Holy Whip in hand, Egg secretly said to Li Yue: "This whip is at least half our credit, so eight sections are ours... If you dare not let us play with it, we will dismantle it."

Dismantle the Holy Whip?

Li Yue didn't think it was impossible. He also told Egg to go to the Library's warehouse later to absorb a wave, helping Shadow recover.

“Okay, this session of 'Hero Studies' is officially over.” Isaac's flesh wriggled, trying to heal the Heroes' injuries—fighting the Sons of the Demon with his divided power, Isaac's state was not very stable.

“I hope that in your remaining lives... you can all take it as your responsibility to annihilate the Heroes, completely erasing their existence.” Isaac caught a piece of falling flesh and reattached it to his chest, saying coldly.

The Sons of the Demon responded in unison. Reid Kote, Mai Mai, Pigge, and Daemon Benben left the classroom, leaving only Nate Meile winking at Li Yue.

“You, come with me, let's go play.” Egg decided to take Nate Meile with him to "heal," accelerating Shadow's recovery and his own comfort.

After Isaac finished his farewell speech, he was about to leave the classroom; Li Yue waited for Nate Meile to leave with Egg and Shadow, then suddenly stopped the mentor of Hero Studies.

“I have something to talk to you about.” After two battles, Li Yue had also completed the collection of Isaac, and it was time to have a good talk with him.

Among the demons that Li Yue had analyzed so far, Isaac's number was the earliest, and of course, it was gold; and during the exchange, Li Yue was shocked and understood the ultimate purpose of this "graduation class."
