I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

An eye demon scanned the entrance area, peering through the dilapidated wooden boxes and the heavy shadows before Lin, remaining vigilant.

When Li Yue and his party of four strolled through the forest, not even having stepped into the entrance plaza, they were immediately discovered by the eye demon, who contributed 4 points of malice.

Li Yue only realized they had been discovered when he saw the malice notification. He thought to himself that he really hadn't been here when there wasn't a competition. He didn't expect that in terms of vigilance... Oogey Boogey was not ambiguous at all.

When the eye demon discovered four brave intruders, a small magic warning stone in a little wooden house at the entrance of the coliseum glowed faintly, startling the fly demons playing cards nearby.

"Brave ones are here, buzz..." One of the fly demons wrung its hands.

"Finally, they're here. The city has been open for three days, and this is only the second group. These brave ones are a little slow to react, buzz..." Another fly demon turned a knob, unveiling a light curtain on the table.

The light curtain showed countless perspectives, all provided by eye demons distributed throughout the coliseum area, like surveillance cameras, covering the vast majority of the coliseum.

"It's normal, after all, it's been a hundred years... since we formally descended to the mortal realm, buzz." The third fly demon zoomed in on the view of the entrance area's eye demon, scrutinizing the four brave ones being seen through in the forest.

"A knight, a mage... and two others not so sure." The first fly demon assessed Li Yue's party, "Nowadays brave ones don't seem to be into archers, buzz? Didn't see any archers in the last batch either."

"They have guns... See? That brave one with the sticks has eight big wooden sticks strapped to his waist. Aren't those guns, buzz?" The seventh fly demon flapped its wings slightly.

Even the Demon King standing behind us probably wouldn't recognize them, right?

"Yo, they've been discovered, buzz. That gunslinger's gaze is off..." The first fly demon's mouthparts fluttered, and then it saw the gunslinger pick up the big wooden stick from his waist. A flash of fire, and the eye demon's view instantly blurred, then went dark.

"Of course, it's to hang my corpse on my waist and bring it back to the Tas Empire to prove that the Kingston family is still strong." Jessica's expression was fervent.

Perhaps for the brave ones, for the brave ones who have seen the grand Killing Cup... the coliseum is just an empty, gigantic grandstand and wasteland. It's hard to understand just how many demons are hidden within.

Niu Xu glanced at Karl, saying nothing—it seemed that these four brave ones were quite flamboyant. No action from herself was needed; just their presence was enough to attract the coliseum's attention…

Niu Xu heard her inner thoughts and immediately felt disgusted—she had met several brave ones since crossing over here, but they either only wanted to kill demons in Demon King City for materials, or they were like this Niu Xuting, wanting to use the power of her companions to enrich her resume. It seemed like there were none of the kind of old-fashioned and tough brave ones she originally imagined…

【Prepare what? Prepare to counterattack the Tas Empire? Ridiculous.】

The eight each pulled out a section of blood vessel and inserted it into the back of their heads. Their compound eyes were also blurred by the surging magic for a moment, and then they saw what each other and the eye demons saw.

As the fly demons set off, the coliseum seemed to instantly "come alive"; the sound of flapping wings rose, and the resting rooms of the low-level gladiators also gradually grew restless.

Understood, they're here to get gilded in Demon King City—Niu Xu summarized Niu Xuting's motivation for this adventure, and her inner thoughts became even more annoying to listen to.

"Strongest strength? To face the entire coliseum?" Li Yue had already sensed the coliseum awakening, and there were countless malicious intentions stirring in the darkness. So, without turning his head, he continued to walk into the shadows, "We've already been discovered, you guys better be careful…"

"Oh right, don't forget eye sharing…" The first fly demon said, taking out a pile of eye demon blood vessels from under the table and distributing them to the other two.

"The marksmanship is good too…" The fly demon patted the seventh fly demon, "Go notify them, the coliseum has guests."

【Those damned freeloaders, using the name of brave ones, but without the heart and pattern of brave ones.】

A large wave of malicious intent surged. Li Yue suddenly decided to change tactics on the spot and ask about Abaddon's whereabouts right here. But just as Li Yue was about to leave, Niu Xuting flashed in front of him, and the gunslinger Karl had already loaded his gun, pointing it at the back of Li Yue's head.

【Malice + 444 + 344 + 144…】

And Niu Xu was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Jessica. Mainly, with her slight obstruction, countless demons had already peeked out from the shadows, completely surrounding the large plaza of the entrance area.

"Where are you going?" Jessica's tone was a bit condescending, "We should fight together. That's how we can display our strongest strength."

"The coliseum is divided into the high area, the low area, and the resting area. The gladiators should be resting in the resting area. There will also be some high-level demons inside. We can go to the resting rooms... and find some big guys, then kill them." Jessica slightly compared the map and pointed to the coliseum's resting area.

"Didn't the boss prepare a 'hunting game' for us? The first batch of brave ones died too quickly; we didn't even have time to play. This batch of brave ones seems good. The knight's armor is very beautiful. We should be able to play for a while, buzz." The first fly demon smoothed its wings, looking very excited.

As for the remaining gunslinger and mage, they were mainly fulfilling a monetary contract, with a little bit of the same thoughts as Jessica, just not as strong.

"How should we play?" The seventh fly demon began wringing its hands again.

"Alright, let's go, buzz. Gladiators ranked beyond eight hundred are very willing to play hunting games with us. We'll go notify them, buzz…"

"Of course, there will be." Li Yue looked towards the darkness behind Jessica, "Demon King City hasn't integrated into reality for nearly a hundred years. Now it's suddenly opened to the brave ones. Do you think they wouldn't be prepared?"

Immediately afterwards, a minotaur warrior covered in scars pushed open the large door of the coliseum, wielding a giant axe, and charged towards Li Yue and the others.

【Niu Xuting also has the qualifications to inherit the family…】

"Then you guys go. I have something else to do…" Niu Xu didn't think Abaddon would be in the resting room aiming at the library, and wasn't planning to follow Jessica and the others straight to the gladiators' lair. So, she turned around, shrunk into a shadow, preparing to find a demon to interrogate, first asking about Abaddon's whereabouts.

At the same time, the four brave ones stepped into the entrance area. The gunslinger Karl smelled the gunpowder from his gun, staring at the bloodstains of the eye demon's death on the wall, very satisfied.

"You mean… there are very powerful demons here? Or a lot of demons?" Jessica wasn't stupid and heard the implication in Li Yue's words.

"An army? Hmph, a first-tier knight with thoughts… isn't an army."
