I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The corpses of the slave scholars, pierced by the magician's ice pillars, were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Google search read

Tom, the blonde, also woke up with a jolt from his fainting spell, scanning everything before him as if he had entered a nightmare—hadn't he already left the library?

Tom vaguely remembered... After crawling out of the latrine pit, he arrived at Death Town, Dessler, and then was knocked unconscious by the half-demon along with these slave scholars; after that, his memory was of the black slope outside the town, and the shadows that suddenly stretched out on the black slope.

How did he come back? Or... had he never left?

These companions... were they dead? Or were they still alive?

Tom's eyes turned red, not knowing how to face everything before him; and those slave scholars who had already died... the blood holes on their bodies gradually healed, and then they writhed on the ground like zombies, as if trying to stand up, yet also wanting to lie down.

Tom grabbed the broom he used to sweep the latrine and, like a madman, smashed it at the scholar who was slowly getting up, hitting the healing head again and again.

But the corpse was oblivious, still writhing on the ground—that was the overflowing of the "self-healing" idea forcibly imposed by Leed, which, under the amplification of authority, affected the entire library!

As Leed had guessed beforehand, the process of advancing was both a transformation of the brain and a divergence of thought.

And the theme of the divergence... was "self-healing."

The sixth library room was like this, and so were the other library rooms—the wounds caused by the Minis' playful fights were also healing, the damaged walls were healing, and even the dessert ingredients Pigo was making were healing.

Pigo chopped off his elbow again and again, very puzzled as to why it was growing so fast.

But Pigo didn't dwell on it, taking the opportunity to make many more golden oil pig trotters.

Looking back at the bone-house reception room, Galarick had been completely renewed, and his bones were as crystal clear and shiny as Schorlrick's; Leed, on the other hand, was completely silent, unmoving under the restraints of Yingying, as if he had fallen asleep.

But everything around him indicated the extraordinary nature of this place—every particle of Egghead was self-replicating, assembling into the shape of an egg, and then repeatedly smashed by Egghead.

"His magic cocoon... where did so many Spards come from... there's only one of me here..." Egghead tapped its lifeless counterpart, trying to compete with Leed for control of the particles.

The self-healing bones were also constantly proliferating, proliferating into one Schorlrick image after another, quickly filling the entire bone-house reception room; and the ribs that had been removed were also transformed into Schorlrick's appearance on the floor and walls, the sea of bones surged and spread, and even the Minis' barbed wire and bloody corridors were now inlaid with "Schorlrick," waving and shaking their heads in the surge.

Fortunately, although the bone spurs were sharp, the Minis and brain spirits were also being affected by the "self-healing" effect, and although their skin was cut and their vital points were pierced, they were not directly fatal, and gradually merged with the library in this way.

Even the bone sword hummed restlessly, floating and shooting everywhere—Leed had lost consciousness, and the bone sword was like the chaotic thoughts in his mind at this moment.

However, both the bone sword and the self-healing bones were sensing objects and could not harm Leed, so Yingying did not control their path, but only focused on protecting Leed's body from collapsing.

Finally, there was the "brain spirit pituitary gland" behind Leed's head... which actually showed signs of re-transforming into a dark brown Boudiborg, constantly devouring Leed's brain!

This was also the situation that Yingying was concentrating all her efforts on preventing—forcibly separating Leed's body from the brain spirit pituitary gland, and trying to compress the spread of the brain spirit pituitary gland.

It was like suppressing a tumor.

Outside of the sensing objects, the lava right hand, the binding thread, and the magic wolf tooth also had their own changes—although they didn't return to their bodies like the sensing objects, the lava right hand swelled up, and the blue veins bulged; the binding thread soared, binding the white bones, and窜 came out from the ground and ceiling, swaying like seaweed.

Blood gurgled from the tip of the magic wolf tooth, and distorted eyes were born from the bones, hands, and teeth, watching everything, while the octopus tentacles mixed with the photon pigments, dyeing the entire library with a layer of psychedelic color.

It was like a vortex from another dimension, layered on top of each other, constantly stirring, dragging Leed's consciousness into the abyss.

Then, the entire topography of the library began to change—there were no more bloody corridors, no more bone-house reception rooms, and even the soil of the upper rock cave was turning into walls, re-paving into a strange library appearance!

If Leed was still conscious, he would be able to discover that the library... was transforming back to the way it was before Boudiborg held the authority, back to the original way.

"No... can't..." When the overall structure of the library was overturned, Leed, in a daze, finally regained a trace of sanity, and conveyed his thoughts to every living thing and every piece of soil in the library.

This is my library, my... world.

Sensing Leed's thoughts, Yingying suddenly dispersed, taking over the entire library—the walls and ground of white bones were instantly covered with shadows, the psychedelic colors also turned pitch black, and the entire space froze for a moment!

But it seemed that her strength was insufficient, the pitch black faded, turning pale, and gradually showed signs of collapse.

After that, Egghead's particles suddenly shot out in all directions, penetrating layers of white bones and walls, and landed on every node of the library!

"Friend... you really know how to make trouble..." Egghead's body rippled, moving according to Leed's only thought, revealing every detail of the library on its surface.

Immediately afterwards, the granulated Egghead took root in the corners, corridors, and window spirits of the library, like solid cornerstones, fixing the entire library!

The three demon sons constantly exerted their strength, the signs of collapse in the library gradually converged, and finally re-healed into the shape Leed wanted—the freely moving bone-house reception room, the bloody corridors on the lower and middle floors, the rock cave on the upper floor, and the bath pool symbolizing happiness and peace.

The battered Minis and brain spirits were being healed, the lava right hand, binding thread, magic wolf tooth and other materials first returned to calm, re-falling to the ground, and then it was the turn of the self-healing bones, bone sword, and brain spirit pituitary gland, the three sensing objects.

When the surging sea of bones calmed down, re-shrinking back to their respective positions, the bone-house reception room finally returned to the way it was originally made.

Leed sat on the bone throne, a mass of shadows under his feet, and an egg beside the shadows.

"Succeeded?" Yingying's color was very pale, so pale that it seemed non-existent.

"Done..." Combining the power of the three demons, Leed successfully completed his second "advancement."

Sensing himself, Leed found that whether it was magic power, perception, or mental power, they had all been greatly strengthened. Perhaps a soul impact could blow up a magician's head, and he should also have some resistance to the mental attacks of dream demonesses.

Moreover... the strength of his body seemed to have also been improved. It was estimated that even if he was fully hugged by the Minis, he would not be crushed.

These were all the most direct changes to himself, and not what Leed valued most—anyway, he didn't plan to challenge the Demon King City with his body.

"What just happened..." Leed only remembered that in his impression, the library almost changed its appearance. Thinking about it now, he was still a little scared.

Yingying directly reproduced everything that had just happened with shadows. Leed imprinted that scene in his mind, thinking that this time it took the three demon sons to succeed. How many helpers would he have to find when he advanced to the "imaginary object" stage?

"You're red." Yingying saw Leed in a daze and reminded him of another new change.

Leed's body had turned scarlet, and there was still a circular tattoo on his head like Egghead's, looking very evil.

"How is it?" Yingying gestured with shadows, asking as she had in the confinement room.

"Mid-level demon." Leed threw all the sensing objects and materials in front of him, leaving only his body.

Yingying expanded slightly, indicating that Leed's progress was about the same as what she had felt, and both sides needed further digestion.

"What the hell?" After sensing the changes in himself, Leed casually scanned the materials he had accumulated with his mind, and was shocked to find that... in his perception, they were all different.
