I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The boundary between blue time and red time, the lights of the Demon King's city were bustling, as if waiting for tonight's carnival; the moonlight above the city was still so calm, coldly illuminating the path under the swaying of the strange trees in the forest, waiting for some unlucky fellow.

In the hazy moonlight of the forest, Li Yue and Budiboge were hiding—this was the path Li Yue took when he first returned to the city from the arena. At that time, a tray skeleton was holding a sword against his head, first sending the Supreme Magic Stone to the vault, and then forcibly escorting him to the vegetable garden.

Today, things have changed. The tray skeleton has long since died in the vegetable garden, and Li Yue… is no longer the brain spirit who could be easily coerced by low-level demons with a sword against his head.

This time, Li Yue didn't call Dandan or Yingying. First, he was afraid that taking Dandan out would attract some gluttonous guys, and Yingying was immersed in "Advanced Studies" and didn't leave the classroom at all, so he couldn't call her out even if he wanted to.

At this moment, Li Yue transformed into Yingying's appearance, huddled together with Budiboge, a shadow and a brain spirit hiding in the bushes, as if blending into the grass.

"What are we waiting for?" Budiboge asked obediently—Li Yue, while ensuring Budiboge's obedience, still gave him some autonomy, otherwise he would have to worry about everything like a puppet on a string.

Although the two brain spirits can communicate with each other through perception and thought, Li Yue did not open his mind to this former enemy, so the Brain Spirit Master can only take the initiative to ask.

"Waiting for a ticket to the auditorium…" Since signing the soul contract, Li Yue's hatred for Budiboge has also slightly decreased, and he can calmly explain to him.

The Killing Cup is about to begin. No matter what route those demon spectators take, some stragglers will always walk to the arena, which provides Li Yue with some opportunities—Li Yue is penniless, not to mention gold coins, even the materials have to be stolen from the demon kitchen, so he can't afford the ticket price for the auditorium in a short time… he can only rob on the road.

And Li Yue has no psychological burden to rob demons, so he is waiting on this moonlit path full of shade for that lucky one, or rather… the unlucky one.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Li Yue had already seen three carriages pass by, one pure gold, one patterned silver, and one that seemed to be cast iron, but faintly exuded layers of magic, definitely not ordinary.

Li Yue didn't make a move. First, he didn't know what level the demons inside the carriages were, and second, judging from the material of the carriages, the owners should be quite strong, which didn't fit Li Yue's definition of "lucky one."

Finally, Li Yue saw a group of skeletons, a group not wearing armor like ordinary skeleton soldiers, but wearing gold and silver, draped in velvet robes—most of them were carrying wine bottles, already drunk, with a few armored guards following them, hugging each other and making jokes.

"Hic… I heard that the one fighting tonight… is Budiboge… the Brain Spirit Master…" A skeleton wearing a gold necklace said with a hiccup, "Then shall we bet on Budiboge?"

"Should we? But his opponent is… hic… who is it?" A skeleton wearing a velvet robe pondered.

"Forgot… anyway, it's a guy ranked around 200…" The third skeleton hugged his skull, raising the angle a little, "It's hard to say… Even if it's Budiboge, after suffering such heavy injuries in the first two games, how can he win? It's only been a few days…"

Li Yue listened slightly and confirmed the spectator status of these skeletons. He drew his bone sword to show himself; but when drawing the sword, he felt a slight hesitation in the bone sword, and with a turn of his mind, he immediately shrank back.

"Not robbing?" Budiboge telepathically asked Li Yue.

"Wait a little longer." It was because of that slight hesitation of the bone sword that Li Yue gave up on targeting this group of skeletons—perhaps it was the will of the bone sword itself, or perhaps it was the effect of "completion" that made Li Yue think a little more.

First of all, Li Yue was confident in killing this group of skeletons and robbing them of some gold goods and money, a win-win situation; but Li Yue thought a little more, Skollreik is the Skeleton Prince, could he be acquainted with this group of skeletons?

Seeing this group of skeletons dressed like second-generation ancestors, Li Yue felt that the probability was not small; coupled with the abnormal reaction of the bone sword, he decided to give up this opportunity.

In case any fish slip through the net and really know Skollreik, they might notice the unusual relationship between Budiboge and the skeletons, and then discover the instability of the library's authority…

That would be a big loss.

Li Yue gave up on making a move, instantly retracted the bone sword, and shrank into a shadow.

The skeleton hugging his skull didn't notice, suddenly jumped up and said: "Uh hic… I remember, it's Kori, the 'Octopus Shapeshifter' ranked 157! Haha hic! That crazy bastard who didn't hesitate to fuse himself with demon relics!"

Ranked 157… Li Yue probably had a little judgment of the opponent's strength, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous—back then, the demon wolf Finley was killed by himself only after the analysis of the Demon Illustrated Book, this time Budiboge's opponent directly jumped into the top two hundred, can the heavy-armored macho handle it?

However, Li Yue didn't force it, just do his best and leave the rest to fate—at worst, let Budiboge die once, if anyone covets the authority of the library, then he will meet them on his home turf.

"The 'Sword of Pilgrimage' Paladin fought quite beautifully last time, the 'Slaver' Bodekoli the time before last was also not bad, but unfortunately this Budiboge just won't die… and he sucked them all dry…" The skeleton wearing the velvet robe touched the head of the skeleton in his arms, their relationship not too ordinary.

"But this time is different, everyone has watched two games and knows Budiboge's abilities, this time they specially chose a ruthless ass to target him…" The gold-chained skeleton led the way quickly, already impatient.

Li Yue couldn't help but follow a little closer, wanting to learn more about the opponent's situation.

"Budiboge can absorb corpses and then control the abilities of the corpses… but so can the Octopus Shapeshifter! And he's even stronger! Have you seen him? I have!" The gold-chained skeleton gesticulated wildly, "He's covered in suckers! He can suck the enemy's magic, absorb the enemy's attacks, and he can also spray! Super ruthless!"

"The last time I saw him fight, this guy shot a line of spectators through with a fire!" The gold-chained skeleton covered his eyes, exaggeratingly making an unbearable expression.

"Then what happened to his opponent?" The velvet-robed skeleton sobered up quickly and became interested.

"Of course, he turned to ashes!" The gold-chained skeleton giggled, "When Kori breaks off Bodekoli and Paladin from Budiboge… Kori is really good at breaking things and disassembling things… then what will happen when Budiboge only has a bald brain left?"

"Of course, he'll kick the bucket…" The skeletons laughed together, all knowing who to bet on to win today's Killing Cup, and gradually walked away, completely unaware that just now… they had brushed shoulders with death.

Li Yue was thoughtful, using several more binding threads to sew up the inside of the "Heavy-Armored Macho" tightly, and laid some demon wolf teeth on each layer, thinking it should be enough to support him until the second round—defeating the opponent is one thing, winning according to Oogiboogie's requirements is another.

The King of the Arena requires Budiboge to win only in the second round, then Li Yue must make a judgment based on the specific situation of the battle, and the initial preparations should be as stable as possible.

"Can I do it?" Budiboge's thoughts trembled, obviously hearing what the skeletons had just said, and wanted to run away again.

"You can't escape, pray, pray to me." While waiting for the lucky one on the moonlit path, Li Yue repeatedly reviewed the template of the "Heavy-Armored Macho" in his mind, constantly reinforcing the joints that might be torn apart.

Targeting the "Octopus Shapeshifter" Kori.

Waiting like this, eventually, Li Yue waited for a wronged soul floating to the arena—under the authority of the bone sword, the wronged soul handed over the ticket to the auditorium and the 8 gold coins it had saved without saying a word, and then left without looking back.

Li Yue held the eight gold coins, thinking that he must bet a hand later to calm his nerves.

Accompanying Budiboge to the arena's contestant passage, Li Yue encountered a heavily guarded checkpoint.
