I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"Hey? Gamma? You're here?" Li Yue didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance here.

"Just escaped from the Merchant Guild in Iron Mine Town, and you've already run to the Merchant Guild in Holy Mine Town. You're good at hiding... Playing hide-and-seek with us right under our noses?" Li Yue and Yingying ignored the alarm and rushed towards the corner of the warehouse together.

Actually, Li Yue didn't know why he wanted to capture Gamma; he just subconsciously rushed forward.

"Dammit, dammit... The Grand Assembly is tomorrow! Can't you guys let me sing an epic in peace?!" Gamma had recovered well and could already open the box and talk.

At this moment, Gamma was like a snail, his body stuffed in the box, but his head and hands could poke out. He didn't look like a minstrel, but more like a treasure chest monster.

Epic?

Hearing Gamma's words, Hunteral's mind raced, and he roughly understood that the "uniqueness" of this box lay in… he had composed a poem about "that war," which was highly legendary.

This was a prey that only appeared once in a hundred years; once missed, it would be gone forever.

So, Hunteral waved his hand in the air, wanting to temporarily summon a trap, but suddenly realized that the materials were insufficient.

Hunteral turned around and started disassembling boxes, desperately stuffing materials into his personal bag—where could he find more complete materials than in the Merchant Guild's warehouse?

It's like reading the beginning of a great novel, naturally wanting to know the ending.

Obviously, this pocket watch was some kind of demonic relic that Gamma had collected these days, with the function of slowing down time.

"Fight them!" Gamma used his lower lip and nose to hold the harmonica, switching to blowing with his nostrils, while his arms extended out of the box, plucking the sounds of a harp.

"Horsie, horsie~ Let you pass~" Gamma changed the harp to a lute, and the sound in the lute case seemed to resonate with the horses, making them shake their heads.

"He will petrify." Yingying wrote on Cui Da's head to explain.

"Come on, you!" The pocket watch was petrified and disappeared. Cui Da and Yingying rushed close to Gamma and shoved him back into the shadow space.

"Stop! Stop! I'll let you go!" Gamma's music stopped; this was a sign that my fingers had been petrified.

"Don Quixote! Or should I call him… Li?" From the crowd, a merchant greeted Li Yue from afar, "You've stolen him to our humble town's Merchant Guild? It's fine if you're just messing around in Iron Mine Town, but he dared to cause trouble here?!"

Almost at the same time, Hunteral completed the collection of materials. Vines and ice shards suddenly appeared behind the wall where Gamma was, with several capturing traps.

The pocket watch's countdown had a little time left. Cui Da and Yingying couldn't get close; Gamma's sound waves cut through the traps, and he was about to escape from the back wall of the warehouse.

Hunteral was caught off guard and didn't expect to get this treasure chest so easily. He didn't have time to complete the hunt and was taken by Li Yue.

Blocked by the horses, Gamma's box temporarily stopped. Li Yue felt like he was about to start a massacre and quickly stopped the battle in the warehouse, otherwise, it would attract Jessie and Soya, and that wouldn't be good.

Seeing Li Yue open his body, entangled with a pile of shadows, like a monster rushing over, followed by a seemingly hunter frantically stuffing materials into his body, Gamma begged for mercy.

This originated from the "sequel" ability of the poet's path.

Li Yue was startled, but his gaze didn't leave Gamma—in this kind of vision, Gamma was no longer agile and could hardly move his body.

When not seeing Gamma, the influence of this ability was not obvious, but upon reopening this novel, he only wanted to flip directly to the end.

I don't know how Gamma's body is still stuffed in this box, how can it still fit so many musical instruments.

After being stared at by Li Yue like that for a moment, Gamma even lost his tongue.

"Look again?" Li Yue smiled.

The sounds of the lute and harp also became jerky, obviously petrified together with the harmonica.

In Hunteral's eyes, a petrifying ray crossed the encirclement of the horses and hit Gamma and the box…

"You can do that?" Li Yue was surprised, not knowing how many surprises were still in this body.

I can only think of a way later.

Without these materials, there is no qualification for hunting.

Unfortunately, its countdown will start soon, and it can't block the brain demon and shadow demon for too long.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph… Lord Hunteral?!" The merchant's head was a little short-circuited.

Wait… It seems there is another way?

It turned out that Li Yue's subconscious action was only because he had heard the second half of the epic and subconsciously wanted to hear the ending.

Li Yue was full of doubts, but he didn't want to change this situation.

The harmonica clamped between Gamma's nostrils hardened and petrified.

"Don't move!" Li Yue stared at Gamma, and then suddenly realized that the color of his vision had changed.

"Holy Mine Town has already made all the preparations to encircle and kill you. Very good, before the war begins, the clearing of demons can come to an end…" The merchant stared at Li Yue and his shadow. "Don't worry, Lord Rufus and Lord Vijes are already on their way. Today, you will become the first demon to die in the Cracked Gold Seven Towns…"

Accompanying the sound of the harp, many sharp sound waves appeared around Gamma, cutting through the vines and ice shards, and continuing to rush forward.

"Hmph, new helpers again?" The merchant finally noticed a indigo-robed figure beside Li Yue.

Hunteral needed these materials.

Li Yue noticed Hunteral's actions, knowing that he wanted to help him take down Gamma, so he didn't stop him.

At some point, the wall had been worn very thin by the box, and it shattered when hit, like a piece of paper.

Now, Li Yue has learned how to control his bones and face. It is not difficult to completely change a body structure and face.

"Since we've met, then there's nothing to say. Don't you want to take revenge on me? Let's find a place to chat and see how this debt should be settled…" Cui Da chased after him, thinking that grabbing a minstrel before the Grand Minstrel Assembly tomorrow might help with entering Town Hall.

In the worst case, he could pry out Gamma's epic, change his face, impersonate Gamma to participate, enter and light the anchor point, and then leave. The possibility of being discovered would be smaller…

What's going on?

"I've already repaid you, I've repaid you!" Gamma threw out a pocket watch, and the time around him slowed down, barely blocking Li Yue and Yingying's first wave of attacks.

"Damn… I shouldn't have sung the second half of the epic for you…" Gamma moved quickly along the back wall of the shelf. "Wake up! You are attracted by the 'sequel' of my poem! You have no hatred with me! Let me go!"

"Good horsies~ When I advance to level 9, I'll come back and play for you~" Gamma sang strange words, and the box was about to float through the wall.

Under the combined effect of the lute sound and eloquence, the horses surrounding the inner wall opened a path for Gamma.

The Merchant Guild's guards were dispatched.

After a moment of delay, the guards of the humble town's Merchant Guild had already rushed into the warehouse, surrounding Li Yue, Yingying, and Hunteral in the center; among them were knights and merchants, the knights with swords, and the merchants with various coins.

Surrounded, Li Yue temporarily turned his body into a human form, seemingly preparing to deal with this situation; Yingying then transformed into the appearance of musical notes, obviously Gamma was struggling in the shadow space.

At the same time, several horses appeared in the warehouse, surrounding the warehouse in a circle, and footsteps came from the stairs.

"Doo doo doo doo—" Gamma blew the harmonica, the box became lighter, and crashed into the back wall.
