I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Originally, this was the perfect opportunity for Rain Man to summon rain, but the first twenty-one collisions had exhausted him. Moreover, the sun-like radiance was already upon him, leaving him no time to worry about the heavy object crashing down from behind.

From Rain Man's perspective, he didn't know it was a patch of earth carrying a crowd of people; it seemed more like a shooting star.

When the force field of the baton collided with the twenty-second believer, the light of faith shattered, and countless red flies swarmed out of Rain Man's body.

They were like a waterfall exploding in mid-air, instantly filling every space in front of the Black Gate.

Father Bice clearly hadn't anticipated such a change. In the dire situation, he only had time to open the Holy Book, using countless pages to protect the priests on the earth clod.

The pages quickly closed, the air became viscous, and words appeared in the air.

The limbs and colors of the red flies were distorted. Li Yue suddenly felt as if space was about to fold.

In the upper level of the library, the Demon Market, and the closed training, Li Yue had similar experiences. He reflexively guessed that some kind of spatial magic was about to occur.

Did the Father want to escape?

Of course not.

Li Yue's mind jolted, and the Egg particles hidden in his sulci scattered, instantly propping up the space around the Father and the priests; the pages of the Holy Book, shimmering with holy light, also appeared wrinkled and broken, then quickly exhausted.

The Father's teleportation magic was forcibly stopped.

Li Yue also quickly retracted the Egg particles.

No need to interfere further. The Father was already unable to cast the Holy Book again, because leaving the Third Safety Zone meant entering a world full of demons.

In the darkness behind Rain Man, countless gazes were fixed, stripping away the skin of the Father and his believers, coveting every piece of flesh.

Among them were Fly Demons, Wing Demons, and Eye Demons familiar to Li Yue, as well as layers upon layers of demons Li Yue had never seen before—when his mind swept over them, the Demon Illustrated Handbook repeatedly popped up with "Analyzing..." prompts, making it almost impossible to capture any single entity. Everything was fused together, chaotic and unbearable.

While Li Yue was puzzled, the earth layer crashed down, "sticking" to the floor behind the Black Gate. The red flies replenished Rain Man's body, and at the same time, a nauseating smell began to rise from the darkness.

The smell was composed of insect secretions, the stench of mud, and the rusty odor of armor, pungent and foul, constantly eroding the bodies of the priests and believers, causing their prayers to gradually weaken.

Li Yue was also stimulated a bit, his scalp itching. He hurriedly wanted to sneak into the ground along the earth layer to retrieve the broken mirror first.

However, when the octopus tentacles couldn't pry open the "ground" that stuck to the earth layer, Li Yue suddenly realized that the floor outside the Black Gate was not composed of earth elements, but something rotten, stinky, and sticky like a swamp.

"It's you," the Father noticed Li Yue's movements, and glowing words floated around him.

Then, the priests and believers exploded one after another, including the priest Larry.

【Finally...becoming...His light...】

The lives of the believers burned, as if adding firewood to the Father's light, making the holy light on his body even more dazzling.

This burst of strong light temporarily cleaved through the darkness, allowing the heroes in the Third Safety Zone to clearly see the situation behind the Black Gate.

All around, above and below, were stinky, muddy swamps, fusing all kinds of eyeballs and limbs, constantly rotting and churning.

Li Yue couldn't see any of this, because Li Yue had also exploded.

Or rather, the Freak Puzzle had exploded.

The muscles originally constructed according to Li Yue's will now oozed holy light, and most of them were destroyed under the Father's call, scorching the Self-Healing Bones and octopus tentacles.

And those remaining Freak muscles were swollen and unbearable, as if they were about to burst at any moment.

Li Yue felt a pang of heartache, while using octopus tentacles to absorb the holy light, feeling them wither and be destroyed, while concentrating on stimulating the brain's pituitary gland, finally regaining control of the Freak Puzzle.

"It's me," Li Yue dragged his broken body and looked back at the Father.

"Receive my grace, be my believer, enjoy..." Father Bice once again raised his hand towards Li Yue from afar.

"You can enjoy it slowly..." Li Yue completely shielded the perception of the Freak Puzzle with the Staff of Deception, "Enjoy the hospitality of the demons."

Having sent him in was enough. As for how he would use the light of faith to illuminate the darkness of the colosseum, that was his business.

"Light." This time, there was finally a hint of anger in the Father's voice.

Then Li Yue saw that the Father was like a god of slaughter burning with holy light, cleansing all the demons and mud that pounced on him.

Whether they were Fly Demons, Wing Demons, or armored warriors, they were not worth mentioning in front of the holy light.

In that instant, the Father's image was incomparably dazzling.

Immediately afterward, Li Yue sensed that the surrounding space began to churn and stir, as if he had fallen into a stinky seabed, with sticky mud all around, above and below. The only ground he could stand on was near the Black Gate, and even that was rapidly shrinking.

What is this thing's interior?

Li Yue had just raised this question when he saw a small team of Poison Fly Demons rushing out of the mud, stuffing a mouthful of mud into their mouths, and rushing towards him with cheerful laughter.

【Nutrients...more nutrients...】

Having not seen Poison Fly Demons for a long time, Li Yue even felt a little nostalgic, but it was not the time to reminisce.

Along with the churning of the world behind the Black Gate, the Magic Mirror Fragment was sinking deeply into the mud.

Or rather, sinking into some kind of feces.

Yes, after seeing the Poison Fly Demons stuffing mud into their mouths, Li Yue suddenly realized that the world he was in at this moment should be the Feces Sea that Oogie Boogie left to Beelzebub.

And the holy light behind him had already become extremely dazzling. Li Yue needed to constantly pile up high-density Self-Healing Bones behind him to avoid being cleansed and purified by the holy light.

As for the small strands of binding threads, they had completely lost their function in this environment. As soon as they were released, they would instantly break, unable to provide any help for Li Yue's actions.

Fortunately, those cheerful Poison Fly Demons could not become Li Yue's obstacle either, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Behind Li Yue, it seemed that only the holy light and mud were confronting each other. In front of him were Rain Man, whose red flies were about to be exhausted, and that lonely Magic Mirror Fragment.

"I am the light."

As Li Yue struggled forward, the Father's voice suddenly drew near, and the wording completely changed.

"I am the electricity." Li Yue released the remaining electric arcs in the octopus tentacles, weaving them into a net, while exchanging for a Lava Right Hand and scattering large amounts of lava behind him, temporarily obscuring the light.

After creating this only window of opportunity, Li Yue's skull released two large strands of binding threads, one wrapped around the fragment in the fecal pool, and the other hooked onto the Black Gate, pulling the main body and the fragment together to retreat outwards.

Although the view through the Black Gate was blurry, Li Yue knew that the Third Safety Zone was there. As long as he could escape, the rest would be settled between the Father and the colosseum.

But just as Li Yue was swinging the binding threads and about to rush out of the Black Gate, he suddenly sensed that Rain Man at the door violently tore open his own temple, stood up crookedly, and stood in front of the door with the baton in hand.

【What a rain...】

Along with Rain Man pinching and bursting the red fly torn from his temple, the Black Gate creaked and began to close.

Close the door and cut off the light?

Li Yue gritted his teeth and swung towards the chaos outside the Black Gate, knowing that this was the last chance to leave, otherwise he would be swimming in the fecal pool and the Father's holy light.

"Rain? I remember you..."

Rain Man saw the broken body crashing towards him and suddenly spoke.
