I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Ahead were steam-powered mechs and clockwork warriors, while behind them was a siege beast battle formation constantly releasing "Deathly Stillness"…

The Steel City had already suffered immense casualties. If the bone mages were to cast a "Summoning" spell at this moment, it would undoubtedly change the course of the battle and increase the advantage of the demon expeditionary force.

Unfortunately, Li Yue's situation was critical, leaving him with no spare energy to consider the developments below the city.

As he was being pulled towards the clockwork warriors, Li Yue thought of many things. Relying on his brain spirit's excellent memory, he recalled several details from the battlefield just now.

When the red-robed priest's spell took shape, Li Yue felt decay and weakness, but Yingying didn't react much, as if her resistance to the spell was higher than his…

Moreover, the siege beasts didn't seem to be affected by the spell at all, focusing on aiming at the Steel City and launching wave after wave of attacks…

Could the red-robed priest's "Deathly Stillness" spell, to some extent, distinguish between friend and foe?

Li Yue had no choice but to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive, immediately changing his strategy.

"We're going back!" Li Yue croaked, using his mind to summon the charred bone sword stuck in the ground, and with a single strike, he severed the clockwork warrior's slender spring.

Then, like hitting a ball, just before the clockwork warrior's arm could pull him into the battle formation, Li Yue used the sword hilt to strike the already cracked part of his skull, throwing himself back into the midfield of the siege beast battlefield, barely avoiding the mechanical hands that were grabbing at him one after another.

A single line separated them like an uncrossable chasm. Li Yue had no choice but to borrow the red-robed priest's spell and look for another opportunity.

As for the problem of survival during this period… he would have to leave it to Yingying.

"Come with me…" Li Yue called out to Yingying, attracting his attention while summoning back the bone ash scattered by the Holy Light Bullets, raising it into the air and letting it fall with the bone sword next to the wheeled siege beast.

"In a moment, put me into your shadow space, we'll switch to another shadow to reside in…" Li Yue explained to Yingying while driving the bone ash to wrap around his skull, reforming a humanoid shape.

After witnessing the Holy Light Bullets… Yingying also gave up the idea of charging head-on, silently listening to Li Yue's arrangement, but constantly surging with unease and restlessness.

This reaction on Li Yue's shadow was the constant ripples, a mixture of illusion and reality, occasionally revealing parts of the bone mage.

"How is it, can you do it? Endure the red-robed priest's spell?" Li Yue was about to fall into the shrouded range of "Deathly Stillness", feeling apprehensive.

"Not going under the city?" Yingying asked.

"If I abandon you, perhaps I could make it."

Yingying's shadow space was full of bone mages, losing some of its maneuverability.

"You can choose to fight on your own, or you can choose to be with me."

Li Yue simply stated the facts, while a skeleton in the midst of a great battle was so small, even the so-called "Skeleton Prince."

"…Then together."

Seemingly remembering Li Yue's outstretched hand when the Holy Light struck, or perhaps worried about the Holy Light constantly flashing near the steam-powered mechs, Yingying chose the latter.

"We still have to go under the city, but we have to change the way…" Li Yue relaxed, seeing the steam-powered mechs constantly approaching, barely stepping into the spell range of the red-robed priest, "We must let the siege beasts become our bridge…"

The bone ash continued to scatter, turning into dust in the air. Li Yue once again felt weakness in an instant, knowing that he had bet right.

"How to make a bridge?" The spell indeed had little effect on Yingying. This shadow demon didn't have any excessive reaction, and once again displayed text, asking about Li Yue's purpose.

Having once again brushed past death, Li Yue didn't reveal the danger, but instead spoke of a passage recorded on Damon Benben's parchment scroll: "The great mage intercepted 2 siege beasts halfway, but was still broken through the city wall by 1…"

As Li Yue spoke, he quickened his pace, walking towards the three wheeled siege beasts in the formation.

"Damon Benben?" It was precisely because of this record that Yingying decided to follow Li Yue.

"Yes, the elephant-shaped siege beasts have no intention of approaching the Steel City, and the flesh and blood of their noses may not necessarily hit. On the other hand, the three wheels, whether in terms of quantity or condition… are more in line with this description…"

Li Yue was only left with a skull and faint bone ash, finally no longer so dazzling and abrupt in the battlefield full of giant siege beasts, and as he wished, he came to the side of the shadow of the wheeled siege beast.

"But how do you know which siege beast broke through the city wall?" Yingying turned into an arrow, pointing to the other two wheeled siege beasts that were still spinning non-stop.

"I don't know…" Li Yue chuckled, "One-third probability, we can start."

"…" Yingying was silent.

"But I also know… how to increase the success rate of this siege beast reaching the city."

Li Yue looked at the wheeled siege beast's route pointing to the Steel City.

"Your killing twist… should be able to control the target's movements, right?" Li Yue hid next to the mound of earth behind the wheeled siege beast, inexplicably feeling the magic fluctuations of the wheeled siege beast… in addition to being concentrated on itself, it also divided a part into this mound of earth.

"You want me to change the siege beast's direction of attack?" Yingying wriggled, touching the shadow of the wheeled siege beast.

"Slightly offset it, try to avoid the great mage's interception…" Li Yue certainly wasn't prepared to go and die with Yingying, "If we're really unlucky and choose the wrong one, just throw us all out, scattering halfway is also fine…"

"At least it can guarantee that we leap over those five hundred steam-powered mechs, right?" Li Yue's skull had finally healed almost completely, re-covered with a thin layer of periosteum.

"…Okay."

Yingying spread out a bit, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"

"No, let's drive."

Li Yue smiled casually.

"What car…" Yingying first spat out seven bone mages, then the light color surged, wrapped Li Yue's skull, bone ash, and bone mages, and hid into the shadow of the wheeled siege beast.

Suddenly, the battlefield shook, and the giant wheels rubbing against the air could finally no longer withstand the heat, and suddenly ejected three giant wheels—the earth was plowed out of three trenches, tearing armor, flesh and blood, and gears, leading directly to the Steel City.
