I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#425 - We guarded the library

“Bang!”

The light shield shattered.

Under the bombardment of thousands of bone-guided cannons, the dozens of knights replicated from the dream turned into ashes in just one volley.

The gunmen and mages behind the knights didn't even have time to react before being swept away by the spreading lava, ice shards, and electric currents.

The dreamscape was filled with rising mist and billowing smoke. Van Helsing pointed his open palm towards the direction where the giant city once stood. After confirming that he could no longer sense any enemies, he retracted his hand and blew on it.

The mist and smoke dissipated instantly—now, only one master remained in the dreamscape.

Li Yue picked up the Nightmare Eye, which hadn't shattered, and re-embedded it into his eye socket. The scene transformed back into the dungeon, where Richard Alexander was being dragged through the air by particles, looking terrified.

“It seems the Royal Guards aren't much. It makes me a little worried about the survival of the royal family,” Van Helsing shrugged.

“Can you tell me now? What exactly is the arena worshipping?”

“What is that?” Richard didn't answer Van Helsing's question—he was deeply shocked by the cannonade just now.

Even in a dream, he couldn't believe that demons could develop artillery to this extent.

As Richard questioned, the walls of the prison cell suddenly flashed red and blue light, casting shadows back towards Li Yue.

“Not me,” Van Helsing shook his head.

Presumably, a battle had broken out outside, and Richard's vague senses were reflecting back into this dream.

“You're still in the mood to interrogate me here?” Richard chuckled, also noticing the changes in the dream. “If I were you, I'd quickly go back to reality and see if that doctor is about to die…”

The Royal Guards outside were Richard's last hope.

But as soon as Richard finished speaking, a broken wall suddenly fell from the ceiling of the prison cell. Immediately afterward, the entire prison cell began to collapse.

“Damn, you're going to die…” Li Yue remembered seeing a similar scene in a movie. Either Richard was about to wake up, or his consciousness had already begun to collapse.

As the owner of the Nightmare Eye, Li Yue could deny the former, so the answer was self-evident.

“Impossible, I won't die…” Richard still firmly believed in his royal privileges.

In the next second, Richard, the prison cell, Li Yue, and Yingying were all crushed and closed from top to bottom, turning into minced meat.

The flattened shadow dispersed. Li Yue opened his eyes and found himself back in the bone room's reception hall. Don Quixote in his tattered armor was also beside him.

What was unusual was the brain spirits dancing in the reception hall, the skeletons trying to dance but being stopped by Galarick, and the armed giant standing on the side of the bloody corridor.

“Am I still dreaming…” Li Yue didn't remember ever arranging for these people to enter the reception hall. He took out the Nightmare Eye to check, and after confirming that he wasn't in a dream, he turned to look at Lulu and Feifei, who had just jumped out of the armed giant's cockpit.

“Brother, brother! We won! We defended the library!” Lulu and Feifei jumped up and down, trying to take credit.

Li Yue looked at Galarick not far away, and the captain of the guard nodded in affirmation.

“Where's Egghead?” Li Yue looked around, not seeing Hannibal, who should have been stationed here. He wondered if Egghead was lost.

“He was in a knight's duel. I don't know who will be coming back later,” Galarick stood beside Li Yue. A skeleton wearing a Bone-0 creation armor, although somewhat absurd, was quite demonically aesthetic.

“Duel? I've seen duels before, but how can a duel make someone disappear?” Li Yue remembered when he and Jessie entered the arena, she briefly raised her strength to the 8th order and dueled with that old man.

But at that time, he was clearly by his side.

“Different knights have different duel effects. This knight's duel should be the deathmatch type, so that he can pull Lord Egghead off the throne…” Galarick described the situation at the time to Li Yue.

“In the end, we still rely on ourselves! We blasted the bad guys with one shot!” Feifei jumped up and said.

“Good job…”

Li Yue certainly wouldn't blame them for accidentally blasting Richard to death. They didn't know that the bone room was interrogating him.

Although he felt it was a pity not to get that information, the library didn't suffer much damage in the battle just now, except for the death of a few brain spirits, which was the most important thing.

It also proved that with the armament of the Copper Spoon creations, the library's combat power had qualitatively leapt.

That was the Royal Guard…

Presumably, Copper Spoon was watching the recordings in the workshop, continuing to optimize the creations?

Li Yue could guess what the dwarf and Little Harry were doing.

“Brother, brother, who are they…” Lulu pointed to the minced meat on the ground.

“They are the Royal Guards, protecting the royal family members of the Tass Empire, the king, queen, prince, princess, and so on…” Li Yue touched the little guy's head, explaining very patiently, while also waiting for Egghead to return.

Egghead should be back, right?

“Royal Guards!” Lulu and Feifei had read many works of princes and princesses with Li Yue, of course, they knew that “Royal Family” meant the most honorable humans, then the power protecting them must also be the strongest guards.

“Who did we just defeat?” Lulu widened her eyes and asked Li Yue again.

“Royal Guards…” Li Yue answered subconsciously.

“I can't hear clearly, tell me loudly, who did the left and right guardians just defeat!” Lulu and Feifei winked at Li Yue together.

“Royal Guards!” Li Yue realized that the two little guys were taking credit and shouted very cooperatively.

“Ah—Royal Guards!” Lulu and Feifei waved their little hands flamboyantly, shaking them in front of each other's eyes.

“You are so amazing…”

Little master, there are more chapters later, please click the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!

“You are even more amazing!”

Lulu and Feifei praised each other, then hugged Li Yue together, stretched their arms long into the bone wall, pressed the button, and released crackling electric light.

Infected by the excited emotions of the two Mini Minis, the brain spirits swayed wildly in the bone room's reception hall, and the skeletons couldn't resist the temptation of the electronic music and danced.

“Still have the face to dance?” Galarick's eight-sided staff turned into a bone whip, flying over with flying daggers, whipping the butts of the three hundred warriors one by one, “Everyone, stand by the wall for me!”

The three hundred skeleton warriors were punished to stand, even those who fell on the ground pretending to be dead didn't escape the calamity.

Egghead hadn't returned yet. Taking this opportunity, Li Yue also carefully scanned the battlefield with shadows, trying to further analyze the battle results, and then suddenly found that a key figure was missing.

“Hey… Where are Warrior and Don Giovanni… Could they be dead too?” Li Yue secretly wrote words on Don Quixote's scalp.

That warrior was the owner of the Oogie Boogie Private Masquerade invitation, equivalent to a ticket. Without him, finding someone who understands flies is basically like finding a needle in a haystack.

And Don Giovanni knows a lot about the Hall of Pleasure. With him leading the way, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Without him leading the way, he will have to explore step by step by himself.

Li Yue wasn't very distressed about blasting an Alexander to death, but if it affects the subsequent tracking of Oogie Boogie, then it would be a bit of a loss…

And it seemed that there was a guardian angel in the dark, who sensed Li Yue's anxiety.

The bone wall suddenly opened, and two captives were hanging down on the conveyor belt, it was Warrior and Don Giovanni.

“Just now, the Royal Guards controlled the nobles… Oh no, is he a member of the royal family? Well, it should be a member of the royal family.” Tom poked his head out from outside the bloody corridor, “I only had time to hide these two prisoners of war. They are very useful.”

“You are also very useful.” Li Yue gave Tom a thumbs up.

“I'm back!” The space shook, and Hannibal in a suit landed on the ground, without even having time to clean up the blood.

Seeing the situation in the bone room's reception hall and the minced meat on the ground, Egghead realized that Richard Alexander was dead.

“Then should I stand over there too?” Egghead saw the skeleton warriors being punished and automatically joined the ranks.
