I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue wanted to both complete the recording of Daemon's notes and learn more about the Steel City battle—the demon scribe's parchment contained official records, so in addition to numbers like troop deployments, there should also be some extra information from the battlefield.

“Skorrek… Didn't you hear me say launch the offensive at sunset?” Bosh's low roar came, but Li Yue ignored it.

“Oh? What do you want to know? Like how the Demon King commanders are killed? Did they wail before they died?” Daemon's notes still had a grin.

“Oh, I don't want to know those things. I want to know about the information of Steel City, the intelligence of the enemy's powerful combat forces, and the historical direction of the battle…” Li Yue directly asked for a strategy guide.

It was incomprehensible, clearly there was a living scribe here, how come it seemed no demons cared?

Were the demons too arrogant and conceited, or was the expeditionary army just like this?

Or had he missed something?

Li Yue reflected on Skorrek in his mind, thinking that if it were that guy, it was indeed unlikely he would ask the demon scribe for more information—basically relying on a self-healing bone, leading 300 skeletons to charge.

“Yo, you're very smart, this year's skeleton has potential~” Daemon's notes' eyes lit up, “But I'm telling you, don't be too confident that the battle situation will develop as recorded, after all, a tiny change could alter the entire process…”

“This is Blood River, Your Excellency, you wouldn't think… He would be as foolish as Bosh, would you?” Daemon's notes winked, and Bosh had already arrived in front of Li Yue and Daemon's notes.

【Malice +599】

The air was scorching.

“You, return to the ranks, or I will let your soul return to nothingness.” Bosh was already dissatisfied with Skorrek's frequent questioning, and now seeing him mixing with Daemon's notes, his malice naturally erupted.

“Demon Scribe, Your Excellency…” Li Yue ignored Bosh again, pointing to the parchment in Daemon's notes' hand.

“Oh oh oh, forgot, forgot…” Daemon's notes said, but had no intention of telling Li Yue, wanting to see the fight between Bosh and Skorrek even more.

Is this what demons are like… Li Yue furrowed his brow.

【Malice +699】

“You wouldn't think… I can't hurt you, would you?” Bosh's tone rapidly dropped, “Don't forget, I am the Demon King commander of this battle, all the demon expeditionary army… is under my command…”

Besides Keli and Ke'er, Bosh's personal guard probably still had hundreds of red-skinned demons, who were now full of malice as they looked at Li Yue.

After that, the sky-filled Winged Demons with bloodshot eyes hovered, all looking down; the tens of thousands of troops under the King's tent, whether siege beasts or magic wolves, all turned their heads together after Bosh finished speaking, their eyes focused on Li Yue.

Even the 300 skeletons in Li Yue's own team.

Those gazes were mixed with red and black, as if tangible, deep and terrifying.

The feeling of being watched by tens of thousands of demons was of course not pleasant, Li Yue only felt that the entire world around him was filled with thousands of abysses, wriggling, about to devour him.

Did this Bosh suddenly become enlightened? Knowing that he could not kill the students of the same period, he used the level system planned by Blood River itself, able to send away dissidents at any time?

【Malice +9999】

Li Yue had reason to believe that the Demon Illustrated Handbook's malice collection function had a limit at this time, otherwise, so many abyss-like eyes would definitely not only have 9999…

Li Yue hurriedly scanned the introduction about Daemon's notes in the Demon Illustrated Handbook, although many doubts arose, there was no time to study it carefully—the air was already unbearably scorching, Bosh was waiting for a reaction.

Li Yue had no doubt that if he continued to ignore Bosh, he would be torn to pieces by countless demon expeditionary troops… perhaps truly die, or just be sent out of Blood River, eliminated before the real battle began.

Li Yue didn't want either outcome, so he turned to Bosh and deeply lowered his head.

“I'll leave now.”

Li Yue, having achieved his initial goal, immediately chickened out, giving up the opportunity to extract information from Daemon's notes.

“Tsk, didn't they fight? Interesting skeleton…” Daemon's notes muttered, looking at Li Yue's leaving back, but found that the gazes of countless demon expeditionary troops turned to him…

“It's your turn…” Bosh, who controlled the commander's authority, seemed to hold a world-destroying sword, despising all enemies.

Daemon's notes chuckled, the wrist under his robe flicked, and the parchment was suddenly stretched, covering the entire body; when the parchment suddenly closed, the figure of the demon scribe had disappeared, along with the parchment.

“Hmph… Who is the fool? Scared away like that…” Bosh said coldly, “The Demon King's commander can be tyrannical, but will never kill his own scribe during wartime…”

“Glory!” Keli and Ke'er shouted in unison, praising Bosh's wisdom.

“Even if they are missing 8 demons… it won't affect my battle, as long as I can command the entire demon expeditionary army…” Bosh finally seriously considered the battle strategy against Steel City, “This time, I will personally be the vanguard…”

“Your Excellency! Glory!” Keli and Ke'er were aroused by Bosh's simple words, their chests and entire bodies instantly swelling with muscles, full of fighting spirit.

“Of course, those 300 skeleton soldiers and 500 magic wolf warriors… must also follow me.” Bosh said grimly, “This is the glory I have prepared for them.”

“Glory!” All the personal guards shouted in unison, the air in front of the King's tent completely burning, the fire soaring to the sky.

And the setting sun was like blood, as if wanting to leave faster, to finish playing this prelude to blood as soon as possible.

When the fire in front of the King's tent soared to the sky, Li Yue was halfway up the mountain road.

Li Yue couldn't figure out how Bosh came to the conclusion that the commander should be the vanguard, but he could imagine no matter which arms were the first to “die”—skeleton infantry would definitely be among them, so he frantically thought about countermeasures in his mind.

Bosh controlled the commander's authority, the command hierarchy far exceeded Li Yue, 300 skeletons would obviously not defy Bosh's orders… for the sake of a Skorrek…

Moreover, Li Yue hadn't figured out yet… how the 300 skeletons became 3000 on Daemon's notes' parchment, and suddenly felt it was necessary to first understand the composition of his own team.

Could this be the effect of so-called “distorted numbers”?

Li Yue remotely sensed his own skeleton team, no matter how he counted, it was 300 exactly.

Just thinking about it, a parchment suddenly unfolded in front of Li Yue, followed by Daemon's notes “popping” out of the parchment, still grinning, seemingly very interested in Li Yue.

“I have what you want here.” Daemon's notes shook the parchment in his hand.

Li Yue didn't expect there to be a sequel to this matter, recalling the demon scribe's hobbies on the illustrated handbook just now, he understood that this guy was expecting him to borrow something.

“What will it take for you to give it to me?” Li Yue looked at the setting sun and quickened his pace.

“I can give you this piece of history, in return, including interest, I have several options for you to choose from.” Daemon's notes wrote on the parchment.

“I've really never seen a skeleton with a brain, the first option, I want to borrow your 'head' to see… don't worry, when it's convenient for you.” The demon scribe blinked, “Just play with it for 1 full moon.”

“Second, I want to see you and Bosh fight 1 match, you know, at the end of the closed battle training, I've disliked him for a long time.”

“The third one… you can also lend me your sword, that seems to be a sacred object of the skeleton clan? Lend it to me to play with for 3 days.”

“How about it? Which one do you choose?”

Li Yue inexplicably thought of the demon scribe's “distorted numbers.”
