I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"What's going on? How is he alive?" Leiyue didn't understand why the Soul Altar would change at this moment.

"Ah... Feifei doesn't know either. Feifei originally wanted to guard this place for Big Brother, waiting for Green Time to catch him... but he suddenly came alive, and even took a partner hostage, demanding Feifei let him leave..." Feifei burst into tears.

Upon seeing Leiyue, Budiboge suddenly felt a tightening in his brain, extremely frightened, a habit he had already formed.

"You come down." Leiyue dispersed Budiboge's thoughts with a thought, forcibly dragging him down.

"Let me out... let me escape..." Budiboge couldn't stay put, an obsession in his heart compelling him to make even bolder attempts.

【I have my mission... I must go to the arena... the Slaughter Cup... Okie Boogie's contract...】

"I know, isn't that why I'm here to help you find a way..." Leiyue carried Budiboge to the upper level—where the bat wings, Synthys snail, and tiger-striped gecko feces were, lacking only a low-level demon.

"Why did you wake up so early?" On the way, Leiyue calculated the time, there were still one or two hours before Green Time, not at all the time when Budiboge should have awakened.

【I am the Lord of the Mind... the magic power of the library is at my disposal...】

Leiyue heard this thought from Budiboge for the first time, thinking it was fortunate that the contract and ritual were already prepared, otherwise, given him more time, he might have really escaped.

"Almost there." Leiyue used his mind to fix Budiboge at the tip of the ritual array, not allowing him any possibility of movement—although the soul contract of a low-level demon didn't require much, Leiyue himself didn't know magic and couldn't skip the relevant steps, so he had to be meticulous.

After settling him, Leiyue no longer communicated with Budiboge, directly initiating the ritual—under the effect of magic power, the Synthys snail, originally tightly curled up in its shell, seemed to be stimulated, suddenly crawling out and starting to move towards the three tiger-striped gecko feces in the array; while the bat wings, originally floating in the air, swayed and suddenly lifted the Synthys snail's shell, carrying the large snail flapping and flying!

Budiboge seemed to realize something was wrong, struggling desperately, trying his best to leave the tip of the array; while Leiyue, while releasing magic power as recorded in the ritual, also distracted himself to suppress Budiboge, forcing him to only watch helplessly as the Synthys snail ate the three feces.

After eating one piece of feces, Budiboge's body instantly quieted down; after eating two pieces of feces, Budiboge's mind went blank; after three pieces of feces were swallowed, Budiboge fell to the ground after a violent tremor, as soft as a melted jelly.

And Leiyue clearly felt a magical force firmly binding his brainstem, controlling every groove of Budiboge's brain.

"From now on, you are mine. If I tell you to float in the air, you are not allowed to lean against the wall. If I tell you to explode and die, you are not allowed to wither and die..." Leiyue wandered around Budiboge, quietly observing his state, "Without my permission, you don't even need to think any thoughts, understand?"

【Understood...】

"Understood." Budiboge really had no thoughts.

"Alright, free to move." Leiyue's perception of Budiboge also changed—Budiboge, who had died once, was originally like a small worm in the palm of his hand, crawling around, but unable to crawl out of the small space; but at this moment, he was similar to the Self-Healing Bone and the Bone Sword, like Leiyue's sensory objects, freely controlled.

Leiyue could even perceive the composition of the soil in the library walls and the changes in authority through Budiboge's perception—in Budiboge's mind, there was a book, a book torn in half.

One-third of the book was already missing, and the remaining one-third was also being pulled by some force, gradually decreasing.

Leiyue guessed that the hand tearing the pages belonged to himself. With the influence of this ritual, as time passed, Leiyue would eventually gain true control of the library.

Even if Budiboge still had the title of "Lord of the Mind."

Moreover, for the Lord of the Mind, there was good news today, which was that he would not die—Budiboge still had a special mission, to win a Slaughter Cup.

"Can you see it? My thoughts?" Leiyue outlined a suit of armor in his mind, a skeleton armor, and shared it with Budiboge.

"I see it, thank you, Master..." Budiboge's address to Leiyue also changed.

Leiyue conceived a skeleton for Budiboge, like a "sharp, bony, handsome man," to welcome tonight's Slaughter Cup—Budiboge originally had the ability to fuse with corpses, although he no longer had Bode Collie and the three-headed hellhound, it wouldn't be strange to have skeletons as a supplement.

Besides... where does one need to explain?

The audience in the Slaughter Cup only cared about how much blood splattered and how much gambling money they could win for themselves.

This skeleton that Leiyue created for Budiboge replaced the template position previously used to distract the head chef, the main body was composed of dense binding lines and layers of self-healing bones, integrating protection and shock absorption, like a floating white bone safe.

The outside of the safe was adorned with demon wolf teeth, and the inside was lined with rows of lava right hands and bone spurs in the interlayer, like an ammunition depot.

Each of the six sides of the white bone safe had a bone door, and the bone door had two opening methods, one was opening a hole, and the other was opening the door—opening a hole was convenient for bone spurs or bone swords to shoot out, and opening the door was to spray magma released by the lava right hand.

For the Mind Spirit, it was basically a small floating fortress, combining all of Leiyue's materials.

Leiyue named it "Heavy-Armed Hunk."

Fortunately, the main body of the "Heavy-Armed Hunk" was the sensory object, the Self-Healing Bone, otherwise, Leiyue wouldn't even be able to lift something so heavy; and Budiboge's magic power was weak, so he could only barely use it with Leiyue's help.

In fact, Leiyue's original intention was to distribute this set of "Heavy-Armed Hunk" to Huohuo, Menmen, and Yueyue, the three most obedient Mind Spirits, but now that he completely controlled Budiboge, of course he was the more suitable choice.

In other words, Budiboge could already be regarded as a clone of Leiyue, helping to complete some things that the main body could not do—which of course included participating in the arena's Slaughter Cup.

However... there was still a key factor to consider—the control distance.

If Leiyue could stay in the library while still controlling Budiboge's actions, the odds of winning tonight's Slaughter Cup would be very high—just lend the Bone Sword to Budiboge and stab him with a "Withering Thorn" to solve the problem.

But if he couldn't do it, he might have to sit in the audience himself and control Budiboge in real time.

At this point, Leiyue suddenly realized that Mento had planned everything for him? Even lifting the restrictions on closed combat training in advance to facilitate his entry and exit?

Dispelling distracting thoughts, Leiyue had a few things to confirm: one was the control distance of Budiboge, two was the farthest range of the sensory object, and three was whether he could use Budiboge to launch skills such as "Withering Thorn" or magma fist...

And the results of the test were very pleasant for Leiyue—without obstructions, Budiboge's control distance could reach about a thousand meters, the same as the sensory object; as for the launch of Withering Thorn and magma, it required Leiyue's authorization.

A remote-controlled heavy-armed drone?

Tonight, as long as Leiyue could sit in the front row of the audience, the "Heavy-Armed Hunk" could exert 100% of its combat power.

Leiyue took out that stained invitation, knowing that it was the ticket that could help him and Budiboge enter the arena.

But how to enter the audience was a problem—Leiyue's mind moved, and together with Budiboge, he searched his memories and the knowledge of the library to find the ticket price.

100 gold coins, the common currency of the Chaos Continent—gold coins were also an asset for demons, and even a symbol of status.

Although "bartering" was also a basic means of trading between demons, if you could pull out gold coins, the success rate of the transaction would immediately increase—because it proved that you had the opportunity to go to the high-end areas of the Demon King City to spend, such as the arena and the Pleasure Interlude.

And demons with real connections could also use gold coins to trade with humans outside the Demon King City.

In short, gold can always be spent.

Moreover, the Slaughter Cup would also attract some fallen humans to watch, so collecting gold coins was the simplest and most direct way.

Leiyue looked at the barren cave, seeing through the gold coins that had never appeared in his memory, and thought... the tickets might have to be snatched again.
