I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“Brother…” Minnie shook Li Yue's head subconsciously when she saw the change in the shadow.

“What is ‘marriage’?” Shadow singled out a word, indicating that he could not understand its meaning.

“It’s just two demons… living together?” Although Minnie had never been in contact with shadow demons and thought it was her hallucination, this did not prevent her from obediently giving an answer.

At the same time, Li Yue woke up, vaguely sensing the change in the shadow on the ground.

“And then? Marriage… will it make me stronger?”

“Shadow?” Li Yue immediately recognized this familiar method of communication, while manipulating the skeleton to reorganize his body, and protecting Minnie behind him—in his impression, Shadow seemed to be very hostile to humans, but he couldn't be sure of his attitude towards weak demons.

“Oh, you’re awake, we’re talking about what ‘marriage’ is.” Shadow circled around Li Yue and Minnie, “Are you married to it?”

“No, she is my follower, Minnie.” Of course, Li Yue didn't intend to reveal his true relationship with Minnie to Shadow, and quickly thought about how to remedy the situation.

“Oh, will marriage make me stronger?” Shadow didn't seem to care about the relationship between Minnie and Li Yue.

“No.” Li Yue was afraid that Shadow would propose to him in the next second, “Marriage is Minnie’s way of survival. From birth to death, they are accompanied by another Minnie to reproduce new Minnies…”

As Li Yue spoke, he glanced at Minnie, unsure if he had answered correctly; Minnie scratched her head, equally unsure.

“Oh, then are you her Minnie?” Shadow's curiosity seemed endless, and he always hit on points that Li Yue didn't know how to answer.

“No, I am Skull Prince Scourge, her Minnie is sleeping in the library.” While answering, Li Yue couldn't help but check his status with the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

Without “Abominable”, Li Yue felt much more relieved.

“So that’s how it is, Minnies can marry and reproduce new Minnies.” Shadow summarized his gains, “That’s really good knowledge, thank you.”

Li Yue didn't know whether to express his agreement or point out his misunderstanding. After thinking for a moment, he decided it was best to move on: “Have you been here all this time? Don’t you need to rest? There’s class tomorrow.”

“I am comprehending your ‘Blessing’.” Shadow's answer shocked Li Yue, “Is it a blessing that makes me hate you? I had the urge to kill you just now.”

“This Minnie also has it, she hit you, and vented my anger for me.” Shadow stretched out a slender arm and patted Minnie's round head.

After Minnie realized that Shadow was a living demon, she also curiously touched the shadow with her fingers, and then under Shadow's control, her arm shook into waves, and she laughed silly.

Li Yue didn't expect the shadow demon to be so敏锐sensitive, and he immediately noticed the changes in himself. No wonder there are "reconnaissance" experts on the battlefield…

“Well, it’s a blessing called ‘Abominable’, which takes effect irregularly, and I don’t know what it can do…” What Li Yue didn't say was that he had asked Mento for six blessings, which was like a dangerous collection that could explode at any time.

“Some demons become stronger through the hatred of others. There are such demons in the expeditionary army.” Shadow put on an expert's tone.

“Oh? Which one?”

“There were no such demons in the Battle of Steel City, but there are in the Abyss Maw.” As soon as Shadow answered, Li Yue suddenly remembered that the distribution location of the shadow demons was the “Abyss Maw”. It seems that this is also his birthplace…

“Abyss Maw?” Li Yue’s thoughts moved, and under the effect of “Extraction”, he couldn't help but ask more.

“Yes, Bosh and the others were born there. Most pure-blooded demons are born from the ‘Blood Cocoons’ inside, which is also a dungeon for imprisoning powerful demons…” Shadow was very happy to introduce the Abyss Maw, “I was born from the shadow of the Blood Cocoon, and I can always hear the heartbeat of the Blood Cocoon…”

“Can you still hear it now?” Li Yue didn't expect to know the origin of the Blood Cocoon so easily—he remembered that in the “Habits” description in the Demon Illustrated Handbook, the habits of the shadow demon were closely related to shadow-born things. Inevitably, Shadow, who grew up with the Blood Cocoon and pure-blooded demons, would have a deep obsession with becoming stronger and reproducing, and a great hatred for humans.

“Yes, especially when meteorites fall, I can’t control myself at all…” Shadow suddenly expanded from Minnie’s shadow, using black and gray to reproduce the scene of meteorites falling on Steel City.

As a demon, it is difficult to overcome instinct—Li Yue had experienced this as early as in the arena. At that time, the enemies were not only the demon wolf warrior Fendis, but also the heart demon of the brain spirit and the innate fear of the superior brain spirit.

“By the way, what about your freak jigsaw puzzle? Have you tried it? How is it?” Li Yue couldn't analyze the demon relics with the Demon Illustrated Handbook. Since he had informed Shadow of the content of the “Blessing”, he wanted to exchange some information as a matter of course…

After all, among the demons participating in the closed-door war training, it seemed that only Shadow was more inclined to be kind. Coupled with the experience of fighting together in the Blood River, Li Yue felt that Shadow was a potential ally.

“I haven’t tried it yet. If Minnie hadn’t hit you, I would have used you to try it.” Shadow’s answer didn’t show any emotional fluctuations or malice, but it made Li Yue doubt his previous judgment.

“But its feedback… indicates that it will not deal with the trainees in the library, so there is no way to test their combat effectiveness on you…” Playing with the text, Shadow protruded a round ball from the shadow, which was pieced together by several freaks.

Minnie seemed to feel the danger and shrank behind Li Yue.

“But I can try it with Minnie…” As Shadow spoke, a page of human skin fell to the ground, instantly swelling and wriggling into the appearance of a freak.

Below the waist, the freak only had a thick thigh, and a blood basin with layers of fangs grew on the sole of its foot. Saliva kept oozing and falling when it took a step.

As soon as the one-legged freak landed, the remaining freaks in the floating freak jigsaw puzzle also began to stir, like a peeled onion, layer by layer…

“I don’t want to know, please take it back.” Li Yue wrapped the one-legged freak with his thoughts to restrict its movement, but found that the freak was incredibly strong. Even if Li Yue tried his best, he could only slightly slow down its pace.

“…Okay.” The one-legged freak had already jumped to the central sofa in the entertainment room, and was dragged back by Shadow’s shadow, and then forcibly pressed back into the freak jigsaw puzzle, embedded together at a new angle—the one-legged freak’s foot was tightly attached to the dog freak’s mouth, and the dirt on his foot just seeped into the dog freak’s teeth.

“You don’t want Minnie to die?” Of course, Shadow wasn't a fool, and had already noticed Li Yue's thoughts from the way Li Yue and Minnie got along.

“Minnie vented your anger for you, don’t you like her?” Li Yue asked back, “And Minnie is a waiter for closed-door war training…”

Shadow rudely interrupted: “What is like?”

“It’s when she vents your anger for you, and you feel happy, that’s like.” Li Yue didn't expect that he could distort the cognition of demons one day.

“Oh, then I also like you, when you are not ‘Abominable’.” Shadow spread slightly, “Your skeleton sea is very good.”

Li Yue had a hunch that Shadow might want to marry him again.

“Since I can’t kill my favorite race casually, then I have to change the target… Maybe I can try the teacher tomorrow night…” Shadow’s cold line of words made Li Yue startled again—trainees cannot harm each other, but they can directly attack the teachers…

Is there a problem with the formulation of the rules, or is it encouraging the trainees to use the teachers to test their moves?

Li Yue couldn't help but worry about the teacher tomorrow night, and was even more curious about when his most concerned “Advancement Studies” would be scheduled: “What class is tomorrow?”

Shadow dragged Li Yue’s shadow to the entrance of the entertainment room.
