I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Between the thrones, the candlelight symbolizing the authority of the Colosseum had fully bloomed, burning desperately.

But as if restricted by something, it never reached the height of the Vault, the Maw of the Abyss, the Casino, and the Hall of Pleasures.

The Demon King held a wine glass in one hand and pinched a domino in the other, watching Li Yue below the throne with great interest.

"Is it fun pretending to be Oogie Boogie?" The Demon King tore off the sack covering Li Yue, revealing his pale bones.

Then, the Demon King dismantled the bones.

Li Yue panicked.

Was he going to kill me? Or sleep with me?

Soon, Li Yue denied the former, because he didn't see any malicious prompts.

"Riding the wave, with Oogie Boogie's influence, it's easier to get the desire for slaughter," Li Yue said, laying his mind bare.

"Hmm... is it enough?" The Demon King asked about the Colosseum's harvest.

If he could directly command Memphistos, then this battle would be meaningless—it would completely turn the battlefield into a meat grinder for the Imperial Army and pure-blooded demons, weakening both sides and fighting until the end of time.

The Demon King drank wine and directly dismissed Li Yue.

The authority of the City Defense Commander covered all aspects, and it was even possible to drive pure-blooded demons and siege beasts below the 7th floor of the Abyss Maw.

Was the Demon King raising Demon King City like raising a demon?

Kill Yi He?

Including but not limited to using some of the Vault's resources, trading with the Demon Market at extremely favorable prices, ordering the existing Nightmare male demons in the Hall of Pleasures to control the thoughts of the lower levels of the empire, cooperating with the Dice of Destiny in the Casino to obtain war luck, and driving the forges of the Surface City to build armaments...

"Can you command Bao Ting Es?" Li Yue had to ask clearly.

"Compared to the authority of the City Defense Commander and the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, which is smaller?" Bao Ting asked a key question.

Demon King City only had one vampire, the Demon King. Was there any special meaning to that?

"You need this little magic guide's relic... Yi He's relic," the Demon King said urgently, stating his needs.

Li Yue's mind flashed rapidly through the scene of having a small conflict with the Demon King between the thrones, then being pinched to death by him and having his brains sucked dry, before waking up from that nightmare.

"The expedition hasn't even started yet, they're on par." Hearing Memphistos, the Demon King's face darkened, his expression simple, "However... if you want to call on the demons of the Abyss Maw as a source of troops, you can negotiate with Memphistos."

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he had gained or lost.

"Very good." The Demon King was satisfied with the King of the Colosseum's attitude.

Compared to the war, killing Yi He, that Demon King's mission, was nothing.

"Next... I've decided to appoint you as the City Defense Commander, responsible for repelling the Imperial Army." The Demon King raised his wine glass to his lips without drinking, a hint of a smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Was there no way to end this war?

"This is..." Yingying tentatively reached out for the ring, also astonished by the depth of the inside and outside.

"Yes, Demon King." Li Yue pulled the ring out of the depths of his mind.

The Demon King was very considerate and said a few more words: "You need Yi He's relic to enhance Demon King City's elemental affinity."

"Who is that vampire?" The Demon King drank blood wine.

Who knew how the Demon King would view a vampire from another world?

Was there no room for negotiation?

Demon King City was really raising idle demons...

Demon King City needed Yi He's elemental affinity... just like a brain spirit needed magic power to nourish it, and a magician needed a brain spirit's pituitary gland?

Could he let the redskins go to their deaths?

"I've decided to appoint you as the City Defense Commander." The Demon King emphasized his decision.

The ring contained the structure and layout of Demon King City, even the "thoughts" of that city.

"By the way, do you know? The Imperial Army is attacking." The Demon King's casual tone brought Li Yue a great sense of unease.

Li Yue chuckled.

Negotiate?

"Did you hear me?" The Demon King waited for a response, his brow furrowing slightly, a little impatient.

"Commander?" Yingying hadn't figured out what that meant yet, but intuitively felt that the commander was big.

That explained Bao Ting's first question.

Thoughts raced through his mind, Li Yue didn't respond to the Demon King's words, knowing there was no room for argument.

Li Yue didn't respond.

Norellermore was the same.

But it brought even more questions.

"We will be responsible for the city defense work of Demon King City, eliminating the upcoming Imperial Army..."

"Understood." Li Yue nodded.

Li Yue guessed that this task would definitely not be easy, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"But I still have the Demon King's mission..." Li Yue fully knew that killing Yi He and repelling the Imperial Army were completely two different things. Was the Demon King PUAing him?

"Almost." Li Yue didn't say anything definite, nor did he ask the Demon King what he wanted to do by summoning him again.

"Demon King?" As soon as Yingying saw Li Yue's dazed look, she knew who he had just met.

Hey, I'm the City Defense Commander, please go to the city wall and die!

Li Yue was stunned—what kind of answer was that?

He had just finished the seventh match in the Colosseum, and the Demon King's mission was here?

The Demon King had a similar tone after the expeditionary force set off.

It finally came.

Bao Ting was now eager to know the specific content of the City Defense Commander's authority, and her thoughts were constantly probing into the depths of the ring.

"Understood." At least now Li Yue was sure that Aka had the ability to fight Qi He, and the magic power of the library and the Colosseum was enough to support him in deceiving Qi He...

"You must transform Demon King City, turning it into a fortress against the Empire, a hell for humans." The Demon King announced, and a Demon King City fell into Li Yue's mind.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter." The Demon King threw the domino aside, "I called you here to give you a mission..."

When Li Yue's thoughts and Yingying reached the depths of the ring, they heard a sigh from Demon King City.

That war was the will of the Tass Empire and Dark Star. Even if Yi He and Si He were resolved, there would still be Wright Wallace and others.

But then, the topic veered out of control.

"Um..."

"Kill Yi He, start that war." The Demon King reiterated the mission given to Li Yue, "That's all."

"The authority of the City Defense Commander is all within it, you are a brain spirit, you come to perceive it." The Demon King was a little tired.

Li Yue also instantly understood the authority of the City Defense Commander.

How to negotiate?

"Big." The Demon King acted like a leader, speaking unclearly.

What's the use of killing Yi He?

He would only agree if his brain was flattened.

"Very good." The Demon King waved his hand and threw a ring into Li Yue's mind.

"I'm the City Defense Commander of Demon King City..." Li Yue dragged his shadow into a dizzying spin, and the demon route in his mind moved, returning to the upper level of the library.

Li Yue pondered, suddenly a question popped up—if he, Norellermore, and Egghead had killed Yi He just now, would there have been a completely different mission?
