I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The entire exchange, from the duel to the severing of Li Yue's limbs, transpired in just a few sentences, but the intense combat packed into those moments… was enough to leave the desolate ground riddled with craters.

As the Light Shield materialized, Li Yue was directly forced away, unable to get close.

“I will interrogate you; I must understand who you are…”

“You conceal some kind of key, and although I don't know what it is, perhaps it can answer why everyone has doubts about the outcome of ‘that war’…”

“Rest assured, my family has individuals highly skilled in interrogation. You and they… are separated by only a mirror.”

“Taking you back will not only unlock the mysteries surrounding you but also purify all your evil…”

Jesse, connected to the Light, pursued Li Yue, his sword rising and falling.

Arms, legs…

After several clashes of metal, Li Yue was reduced to a human stump—in a short time, Jesse unleashed the power of a ninth-tier Holy Knight, directly reversing the battle.

“Thank you…” Li Yue's response astonished Jesse.

Although he felt no pain, Jesse inexplicably sensed a loosening of the powerful strength within his body.

“Ice Wall!” Li Yue, discerning Jesse's intention, shouted towards the mages near the entrance while simultaneously bracing himself—the courage of a knight allows you to advance once more.

“Tch…” Jesse harbored few doubts, but even less time to voice them.

After all… any later, and the Kingston family might have no direct heir.

“You intend to accept his interrogation.”

Jesse thought, seeing the change in the enemies' formation, immediately extending his arm towards the corner of the dungeon wall, and like a lump of mud, he instantly catapulted in the opposite direction.

At the same time, Li Yue threw a large shield forward from his inner pouch.

The Light Shield finished dissipating and shattered.

Seeing Weng Qian with her fiery wings, Jesse imitated the earlier tactic, his shadow becoming a sword, stabbing towards her neck…

Did I interrupt the relic's teleportation?

Jesse's intention was, of course, to shatter the shield, so he flung out the iron sword and iron nails, attempting to disrupt the spellcasting.

Those were very concealed in the misty air, but Weng Qian and Li Yue both noticed the anomaly.

His hands and feet were connected by shadows, Li Yue half-floating in the air, his shoulders connected to his right hand, his right hand holding his left, his two thighs neatly aligned behind him…

When Li Yue's fire wings spread, the obese one's bodily fluids and the freaks' blood clots in the dungeon were rapidly evaporated, and the scene became gloomy.

Then the knives and swords broke.

The freaks' bodies had already been beaten into chunks of minced meat, but wallowing in the obese one's oil and bodily fluids, they fixed their gaze on the exposed flesh of the obese one, the knights, and the mages, striving to transmit the malformation of their bodies.

Before the fire wings, the frozen walls gradually thickened, and the dungeon began to be filled with mist.

The shield contained specks of light, and this light was connected to the bodies of the knights at the entrance, seeming to teleport them directly into the depths of the dungeon.

“The Colosseum is where I first grew!” Li Yue shouted, finally giving up dueling Jesse and returning to the dungeon for aid.

But the blunted iron sword and sharp iron nails were all cut off by the light, as if the light itself was not a sharp blade.

Li Yue did everything possible to cope.

Then Jesse saw the human stump on the ground stand up.

The fine particles mixed in the shadows retreated from the light, also disrupting the light.

The clockwork warriors were entangled with the burden-bearers, striving to tear at our backs—the followers of the Burden Sect seemed very eager to carry those imperial creations, the blood tumors on their backs throbbing, dominating our actions.

It seemed as if his hands and feet were about to scatter on the ground.

Like a wooden stake.

And Jesse had no other choice; his whole body was wrapped in shadow and turned white, instantly piercing through the fire wings.

“Are you a Shadow Demon? Or Norrellmore?” Jesse also very much wanted to know the answer to that question.

The front of the wall was not the New Church's aqueduct.

“Shadow Demon! Norrellmore!” Li Yue finally realized that dragging Jesse into a “duel”… might have been the worst response.

Huh?

He had clearly just seen it last night; this shadow was still in Demon King City, right?

The dungeon was already spacious; the heretics and the people of the Kingston family were fighting together, and the heroes had no room to retreat, all jammed at the entrance of the dungeon.

The shadow fell off the dead skin like mud…

But finally, it passed through.

Here, Weng Qian had just cleared out the obese one with her fire wings, also becoming the final obstacle for Jesse to escape.

The duel ended, and the two fell back into the dungeon.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with his shadow, at the critical moment of the duel, Jesse reluctantly borrowed the power of the shadow, preparing to win this battle first and then think about other things.

Finally, the shadows emerging from the severed arm and leg fissures of Jesse twined around Li Yue's body, tightly constricting.

In the next second, Li Yue moved his hands and feet together, the shadows connecting various parts of his body, re-engaging in a battle with Jesse.

With Soya guarding here, Jesse certainly wouldn't run into the dungeon entrance like a moth to a flame…

Weng Qian's appearance also gave the knights and mages a clear target; we all broke free from the heretics' entanglement, changed formation, and blocked the dungeon entrance.

Without a doubt, those teleported knights would become meat shields behind the ice wall, preventing Jesse from breaking through the wall.

Preparing to meet Jesse.

The battle under the desolate earth began abruptly, but the battle in the dungeon was proceeding in full swing.

The Faceless Ones of the Masked Society were assaulting the southwest side of the dungeon, occupying the energy of six knights.

With the ebb and flow of strength, Li Yue was quickly beaten until he was covered in cracks.

Only prying open a hole the size of a soccer ball, Jesse transformed into a ball of shadow, his body and limbs drilling out together.

Jesse only knew that Norrellmore was the shadow standing beside the red-robed skeleton Reddcoat, also a terrifying existence that had once appeared in the Gamma Epic.

And Jesse hadn't given up thinking about the reason for everything—in short, it was a good thing that there were no knights blocking the way, so he pierced through the forming ice wall with a palm, cracking it open with his bare hands…

“Shadow Demon… Norrellmore…” We all recalled the same shadow.

Just pull it a little bit and it'll be fine…

Jesse himself smashed towards the wall in the depths of the dungeon.

Then we saw Jesse's severed hands and feet, forcibly connected by shadows.

Li Yue didn't understand the principle.

Weng Qian was completely silent.

The moment she returned to the dungeon, fire wings erupted from the inside of Li Yue's armor and clothes, and Jesse's shadow seemed to have prepared in advance, directly releasing Weng Qian, pulling Jesse towards the dungeon entrance…

“But I do want to interrogate myself…”

“To tell you the truth… this place is also quite fashionable, where is it?” Jesse held the shadow sword, slowly piercing through the light shield, reaching towards Weng Qian's carotid artery.

Weng Qian decided to break in directly, lighting up the entire Copper Mine Town map.

Weng Qian had a slight doubt, then suddenly felt like she had had a similar feeling somewhere before.

What kind of hands does this person have… A universal tool…

What's more, the New Church is next to the town hall; shouldn't she take advantage of the present to break in and light up the outer plug-in, or wait for the believers to set up layers of defense?

Shouldn't he be desperate?

Why thank me?

Weng Qian tried to break free from the shadow's restraint, but there was no way to exert force.

What does that have to do with me?

“Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you going? These are really good questions.”

Only an ice wall remained before her, and the light gradually brightening.
