I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

First, the biggest gain, of course, was stealing Scourge Lich's identity. This son of a devil from the Skeleton Clan died a violent death in the middle level of the library, allowing Li Yue to obtain a magic badge, a powerful bone sword, and a Song of Withering...

These are all essential items to prove Scourge Lich's identity.

Although Li Yue killed him in a hurry and didn't fully understand Scourge Lich's past and present life, Li Yue felt that the information he had already mastered was enough to cope with the closed-door war training—first, Scourge Lich had no friends, so the possibility of being exposed was relatively small; second, there was only one skeleton among the sons of devils participating in the closed-door war training, so as long as the hardware around him met the standards, no one should question his disguised identity.

Once he finishes the advancement studies and understands the advancement methods related to brain spirits, Li Yue only needs to discard Scourge Lich's identity, and he will be a brain spirit that no one will notice again.

Disguising as Scourge Lich has many benefits, unlike disguising as Mini Mini to enter, but as a formal trainee identity, it is easier to avoid some life-threatening dangers...

For example, he won't be easily killed by trainees in the same class—because this is strictly prohibited in the closed-door war training.

And this is the main reason why Li Yue decided to get rid of Scourge Lich.

Of course, there are also some additional benefits, such as using the identity of the Skeleton Prince to provide the greatest possible protection to Mini Mini, who serves the war training?

Li Yue is just thinking about these things for the time being, and will adapt to the circumstances when he really enters the war training...

The only thing Li Yue didn't expect was that the commotion when Scourge Lich died was too great, alarming the Brain Spirit Lord Budi Bogg—tonight is fine, Li Yue can stay at the entrance of the thirteenth library and play the piano, without worrying about being discovered by Budi Bogg, but tomorrow during the day it will be a bit difficult...

Perhaps, a choice needs to be made between "being discovered by Budi Bogg" and "being discovered by the Book Demon."

The magic badge is a ticket, and the bone sword is a guarantee—this holy sword of the Skeleton Clan can easily kill the Skeleton Prince, obviously it is very valuable, and it can be controlled by telekinesis, which is very suitable as a weapon for brain spirits...equivalent to a flying sword?

It can be used for self-defense during the war training, and after the war training...we'll see how to deal with it then.

As for the Song of Withering...Li Yue doesn't know how to use it for the time being, and currently only regards it as proof of identity.

After dealing with the physical gains around him, Li Yue was finally able to free up his thoughts to check the Demon Illustrated Handbook—after several "exchanges" with Scourge Lich, plus what he had previously obtained from the Book Demon and Budi Bogg, the system had accumulated nearly seven thousand points of malice, plus 1 demon point obtained after collecting 6 kinds of demons.

The current balance already includes the consumption of Li Yue transforming into skeleton soldiers and Scourge Lich—I have to say, communicating more with high-level demons with bad tempers is extremely helpful in collecting malice.

Especially when inadvertently arousing their killing intent.

Li Yue can foresee that this kind of gain will increase exponentially after the closed-door war training begins—after all, those who come to participate are all demons with bad tempers, deep backgrounds, and outstanding strength, so having killing intent is simply commonplace...

Next, it's time to check the special prompt that popped up when killing Scourge Lich.

【Killing a high-level demon creature, you have obtained 1 demon point and the material "Bone of Self-Healing"】

Li Yue had already had demon points before, and knew that they were used to "summon" otherworldly demons, so he was not surprised at this moment. What was surprising was that the level division of the Demon Illustrated Handbook was actually consistent with what he had just learned not long ago. Li Yue couldn't help but suspect that the illustrated handbook was giving hints in a way that he could easily understand.

In other words, Scourge Lich is different from the skeleton soldiers in the vegetable garden. Killing him has rewards. In addition to demon points, there is also a material called "Bone of Self-Healing"?

Li Yue thought, confirmed this message, and then found that the fragments of Scourge Lich scattered on the ground turned into white light and were absorbed into his body!

The starlight-like white light entered Li Yue's body, and then all of them were cast into the last panel covered by black mist in the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

When Li Yue focused his mind on the black mist area, the latest prompt popped up.

【Do you want to consume 5000 malice to activate the Demon Blueprint function?】

Li Yue looked at the accumulated malice points and touched the "Yes" button.

Malice was quickly consumed, and the Demon Illustrated Handbook was completely lit up by Li Yue. The functions on the panel were finally complete—at the top was still the number of demons recorded in the Demon Illustrated Handbook, which was currently at 7, including Oogie Boogie, Skeleton, Demon Wolf Warrior, Human, Book Demon, Brain Spirit, and Mini Mini; the functions in the middle of the system have three major blocks, namely "Illustrated Handbook", "Transformation", and "Demon Blueprint", occupying a huge part of the panel area.

Below are the two resources of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, malice and demon points; the "Summon" button in the lower right corner is still quiet and extremely tempting, as if encouraging Li Yue to press it sooner.

Putting his mind into the "Demon Blueprint" function, Li Yue also understood the purpose of the new function in the first time.

Unlike "Transformation", which wraps the demons recorded in the Demon Illustrated Handbook around oneself in physical form, "Demon Blueprint" directly consumes materials and malice to create, and even edit, completely new demons!

Tendons, bones, skin, flesh...claws, acid, number of heads...as long as Li Yue collects the corresponding materials, he can use these materials to unleash his imagination and create new skins according to his needs.

Collect demons to enrich the illustrated handbook, kill demons to accumulate resources, and then create new demons?

Li Yue finally felt like he understood the Demon Illustrated Handbook—no matter where the Demon Illustrated Handbook came from, its purpose was obviously not just to record demons, but to create more powerful existences...

Subsequently, Li Yue immediately raised a question—are the demons created in the Demon Blueprint attached to the owner of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, or are they separate individuals?

What is the difference between the entity created according to the Demon Blueprint...and transformation?

With this question in mind, Li Yue sensed the quiet middle level of the library, and prepared to test the manufacturing function of the Demon Blueprint—he didn't dare to mess around with "Summon", but making a skeleton soldier was still within Li Yue's ability to handle.

If the skeleton soldier created has life, he can simply stab it with the bone sword to end it.

After all, he is about to participate in the closed-door war training, and quickly understanding and digesting the functions of the Demon Illustrated Handbook is very helpful for future survival and performance...

Thinking about it, Li Yue focused his mind on the [Bone of Self-Healing] in the Demon Illustrated Handbook panel, and slowly kneaded it according to the appearance of Scourge Lich in the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

Unlike the process of creating a "Transformation" template in the system, when Li Yue used the Bone of Self-Healing to make a skeleton, every change in shape, adjustment in softness and hardness...would lead to a sharp increase in the malice consumed—with Li Yue's current remaining two thousand malice points, he could barely knead a skeleton of Scourge Lich.

Relying on his mind power and memory strengthened by the Supreme Magic Stone, Li Yue finally skillfully completed the kneading of Scourge Lich's appearance before the malice points were exhausted, and chose the same voice as the Skeleton Prince for it, consuming an additional 140 malice.

Even if it only exists in the Demon Blueprint, Li Yue can clearly feel its difference from the "Transformation"—the templates in the transformation list will constantly show the demon's movements, language, and even skills, but these do not exist in the Demon Blueprint. The skeleton's body lies quietly in the Demon Blueprint without moving, like a dead object.

No, he can't be careless.

【Do you want to consume 1 demon point to release the creation?】

Li Yue was still unsure whether the demon in the blueprint would have life if released into the real world, so he tightly gripped the bone sword with black light and carefully touched the [Release] button in his mind.

Whether it will be a battle between the real and fake Skeleton Princes, or a suit of armor that stays put...Li Yue is betting on this.
