I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue silently hung the musket back on the wall, replacing it with three crossbows and a dozen bolts. The scythe-wielding brain spirit, seeing Li Yue's compliance, leisurely retracted its scythe. Search Google for reading.

"We are entering the arena as challengers! This is our honor!" The scythe-wielding brain spirit encouraged its companions, acting like a leader. "There are many important figures among the audience this time! Fallen nobles! Demon lords! Abyssal knights! More importantly! The new city lord will also see our heroic 모습!"

"Ji ji ji!" The brain spirits responded in a strange way, of course, not including Li Yue.

Li Yue fell into silence, repeatedly contemplating the possibility of "transmigration."

The pain was real, and more than once, so whether it was a dream or not, it was obviously impossible to wake up from the pain.

Exploring his memories, Li Yue clearly recalled that he was working in front of the computer, and then when he got up, everything went black.

Whether he fell asleep or died... remained questionable.

At this moment, the blood stains on the walls and the detailed cracks in the wall... like ferocious demons, were grinning at Li Yue—do you still think this is a dream? Would every detail in a dream be so real? Besides instinct, do you have memories in your dreams?

Yes, memories.

The memories in his mind were originally like an ocean, but at this moment they froze, allowing Li Yue to freely search; and Li Yue's memories merged with the brain spirit's own memories, and after a slow-motion wave rolled over, revealed a terrible reality.

I am a small brain spirit in the Demon King's city, a slave of the demons, a weak monster; this place is the arena, a place of blood and carnage, the carnival ground of the Demon King's city.

Brain spirits usually don't participate in the arena. At best, some high-level brain spirits can become spectators, but they don't have the qualifications to step onto the stage at all; this time, I don't know what kind of wind the city lord and the organizers were blowing, but they would actually call brain spirits to participate.

"We are entering as challengers..." Everything in his memory matched the story told by the scythe-wielding brain spirit perfectly. Li Yue was certain that he had transmigrated.

Transmigrated into a brain spirit.

Transmigrated into a brain spirit, and still has to participate in the arena battle...

At this moment, Li Yue could only hope that the opponent was a bit of a good-for-nothing, and that this battle was not a life-or-death situation...

But listening to the bursts of explosions coming from outside the fence, Li Yue felt that the situation was not optimistic; then, Li Yue recalled... before entering the preparation room of the arena, he had also signed a "soul contract," which was a kind of life-and-death agreement...

Great, a life-or-death battle.

The words of the scythe-wielding brain spirit further confirmed Li Yue's guess: "Our opponents have two possibilities! Only one side can survive to fight us!"

"Maybe it's the demon wolf Fendis, currently ranked 372nd in the arena, or the minotaur Big Horn, ranked 1537th!"

As soon as Li Yue heard this ranking range, he sketched a huge demon wolf opponent in his mind—it was lying on the ground howling at the moon, and then ran wildly, tearing 15 brain spirits apart with the wind it stirred up, and the battle was over.

"In short, they are all larger opponents! So we must make full use of our advantages!" The scythe-wielding brain spirit tirelessly encouraged, making Li Yue feel a bit of absurdity amidst the bleakness.

"Brain spirit battles! Require brains!"

"First group, you five, entangle with it! Attract its attention! Focus on dodging!" The scythe-wielding brain spirit began to explain the tactics in detail. "Second group, you five, set up a formation on the second level, and use telekinesis to help the first group accelerate their dodging!"

It was also when the scythe-wielding brain spirit was assigning tasks that Li Yue observed that the brain spirits in the first group mostly used swords and spears as weapons to enhance their close combat ability; the second group mostly controlled shields, although the sizes varied, they also improved their chances of survival to a certain extent...

Speaking of which, this was also an arrangement that took advantage of the brain spirits' strengths—brain spirits don't have hands, but they have telekinesis, and there is no limit to the number of weapons they can control, and they can use them more smoothly.

"The third group, which is the group I am in, will patrol the periphery, providing support with crossbows and rifles, and then give it a fatal blow!" The scythe-wielding brain spirit turned to Li Yue, "Your fighting spirit is not firm enough, so stand back and don't delay us from killing the opponent."

I thank you—Li Yue thought silently.

"Are you ready... to welcome glory!" The scythe-wielding brain spirit shouted, eliciting a burst of cheers.

"Kill!" The clanging sounds rang out, and the brain spirits lined up in three groups in front of the iron fence, like infants about to step onto the battlefield.

Li Yue shrank to the back row, and after checking the tightly locked iron door behind him, he knew that there was no way to retreat.

At some point, the sound of fighting outside had disappeared, and the air was filled with emotions of expectation, excitement, and fear, accompanied by a creaking sound, the stone chamber shook, and then slowly rose.

Moonlight streamed in through the gate, covering the firelight, and stretching the thorn flower very long; it passed through Li Yue's shadow, reached the deepest corner of the stone chamber, and then playfully shrank back, finally freezing under Li Yue.

"Now welcome—the brand new challengers—the brain spirits from the Fifth Library—" A deep voice resounded throughout the entire arena, spreading to every seat in the arena and the five floors outside.

"They are about to face—Fendis, ranked 372nd in the arena's Slaughter Cup—who just hunted the minotaur Big Horn—and is infinitely favored by our new city lord—the rising star of the Demon King's city arena—the warrior of the demon wolf clan—Fendis—"

"Fendis... Sa!" The deep voice trailed off with a tremor, suddenly restrained, followed by an explosion of cheers.

The sound wave was infinitely amplified in the stone chamber, echoing, washing away every groove in Li Yue's brain, and also bringing a huge sense of oppression and reality.

The ground outside the stone chamber was uneven and barren, with grass, bones, and minced meat; the sky outside the stone chamber was half-covered by the stands, which were bizarre and colorful, with demons, humans, and a huge black mist.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the dark clouds gave way, not daring to cover it even a bit.

The brain spirits also began to float out of the stone chamber in the order of their formation, full of fighting spirit, stepping into the moonlight, and stepping into that excited cheering.

"As the last game of today's Slaughter Cup—I want to remind everyone again—this is the last chance to add bets—fragments of demon residue—demon coins—all are welcome—"

When it was the third group of brain spirits' turn to enter, Li Yue found that in the center of the arena, a demon wrapped in a cloth bag was dancing and gesticulating, and that deep voice came from him.

"Demon wolf Fendis—versus the brain spirits from the Fifth Library—the winner's prize is—a precious—flawless—unparalleled—treasure that all demons dream of—a Supreme Magic Stone that can greatly enhance magic power!"

The cheers reached a climax, whether it was because the reward was too precious, or the audience was simply going crazy.

In this frenzy of cheers, the brain spirits finally all entered the entrance passage and walked past the stands; Li Yue was the last to enter, and after he entered, the stone chamber behind him slowly lowered, leaving a magical wall that could not be touched.

"Remember, you must die in the first round, I bet three demon residues on your death, help me earn a magic stone residue..." In the stands, a little demon with horns on his head and bat wings on his back shouted to Li Yue, "You must die in the first round—"

Li Yue tried to concentrate and accepted this information—the battle has round limits, maybe he can use it.

Walking out of the audience passage, Li Yue's perception finally captured the opponent in this battle, the demon wolf Fendis.

It was a huge werewolf tall enough to be two stories high, wearing armor on its shoulders, and its abdomen seemed to be slightly injured, with two bloody holes gurgling blood; but as it gnawed on the bull corpse in front of it, the blood flow slowed down significantly, and the injury gradually contracted.

Glug.

Fendis swallowed the flesh and blood of the minotaur Big Horn, its body heaving, and layers of blood mist exhaled from its nose; its huge wolf claws were holding half of a bull's head, and when it saw the brain spirits enter, a pair of blood-red eyes looked over, and its arm drooped down.

"Formation!" The brain spirits were slightly flustered, and the scythe-wielding brain spirit hurriedly stopped them, "It's injured! We have a chance! Follow the tactics!"

"Okay—the battle is about to begin—3, 2..."

The cloth bag demon in the center of the arena was counting down, but Fendis directly attacked!

The half of the bull's head in the wolf's claws was thrown out, cutting across half of the arena, and attacking the brain spirits' newly formed formation like lightning.

Pa!

The scythe-wielding brain spirit was drawing a beautiful circle with the scythe, but was directly smashed by Big Horn's skull, its brains hanging on the wall, and the scythe fell next to Li Yue.

Fendis's actions that ignored the arena rules were greeted with cheers from the audience.

"Hahaha—our demon wolf warrior can't wait—I still... who cares." The bag man muttered, flattened himself, and then suddenly bounced into the arena and entered the black mist in the stands.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The earth roared like a drum, and Fendis ran towards the brain spirits.
