I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Ying Ying remained silent beside him.

As the Shadow Demon who had accompanied Lee Read since his first promotion, she naturally understood what that small room and desk meant to him—it was his deepest anchor, the source and destination of all his actions.

Besides… anyway, he said he'd bring me along.

Ying Ying was also very curious about that world.

It's just that if we come to Mount Jue again, whether we can find that world among the countless bubbles is another question.

If there's a chance, we can come back first and scout the way…

If I help him find his home, he'll be very happy, right?

Ying Ying temporarily split off another self, hiding behind Kakarot's butt, thinking to herself.

Kakarot had already devoured the giant octopus's corpse, so the giant ape's recovery speed was very fast, and in a short while, its palm had completely grown back.

"How long have we been here?" Lee Read looked at the clean earth, unsure how long it would take Kakarot to finish eating the giant octopus.

"Two days," Ying Ying darted back, helping Lee Read discern the passage of time.

"Then the Killing Cup starts tonight!" Eggjoy jumped up excitedly.

"Don't be too happy…" Nolaymore's shadow flickered, replaying the events that had happened to several Demonspawn from entering Mount Jue until now, "Redcoat is calling us."

Of course, the deepest impression was left by the Bone Cart Sect's several forced summons.

It's just that they couldn't break through Mount Jue's barrier. They were notified, but not pulled back.

If Redcoat were to call again now, Ying Ying and Eggjoy would have to go to war immediately—the first battle of the Centennial Killing Cup would have to be put on hold.

"Is there another battle?" Eggjoy knew very well that Redcoat only regarded the Shadow Demon and Spader as two sharp spears, and there could only be one reason for calling them.

"Probably," Ying Ying only knew that they had been summoned before, and wasn't sure of the specific details, unless they had responded at the time, perhaps they could have gotten Redcoat to say more.

"Then it's about time I set off for the Lund River. Where's your shadow?" Lee Read urgently needed to advance, with only two anchors left to light up.

Judging from the progress of lighting up the Sash River, Mist Marsh, and Mount Jue, the remaining two shouldn't take too long.

"Imperial border, downstream of the Lund River…" Nolaymore's shadow trembled for a moment, giving the answer, "If I send you there now, you should be able to arrive before the opening battle."

The pace was just right, and Lee Read was very satisfied.

"Then let's go back to the Library first. If you want to go north, you need a door," Ying Ying dispatched "shadows" to the north, all carrying doors, to make it convenient for Lee Read to arrive immediately.

"I don't know when Redcoat might call us again," Ying Ying and Eggjoy were involuntarily involved, which also brought a certain degree of trouble.

The group didn't dawdle and prepared to teleport back to the Great Library.

But before that, they had to arrange Kakarot's destination—such a big ape, teleporting it in would crush the Great Library.

That would undoubtedly be a waste of the Brain Spirits' labor.

So Lee Read pointed a direction for the giant ape, telling it to bypass Demon King City and go to Mist Marsh first.

Many demons lived there, all of which were food for the giant ape.

It would be better to keep it there for now.

Conveniently, Lee Read also tore off a thick, stiff hair from Kakarot, preparing to help it register for the Centennial Killing Cup later—it wouldn't be a problem at all for a giant creature to appear in the arena. Anyway, the audience had seen dragons and the like, so there had to be some new excitement.

Occasionally, Lee Read would still think about problems from the perspective of the King of the Arena.

What's more, having tasted the sweetness of using the giant spider to farm malice from the Holy City and the Sand People, Lee Read couldn't let go of this opportunity.

Receiving Lee Read's instructions, Kakarot began to jump, leaping dozens of miles in a single bound, instantly becoming as small as the tip of a thumb.

Then came the unfolding of the demon route, and the Demonspawn returned to the Library.

But the Library had changed.

It had expanded a lot.

In the Great Library, books formed distorted pillars, supporting the entire structure of the Library, twisted but rich.

The entire Library seemed to have become a giant heart, with blood vessels composed of books intertwined, stubborn, but readily available for consultation.

Such a big change in just two days?

Lee Read suddenly realized that these might all be related to that glimpse of the Time Rune.

Too lazy to look for the source from clues, Lee Read directly called Nolaymore to bring Budibog over for questioning.

After all, Budibog was still the Lord of Authority of the Library, and although his control was close to zero, he could at least provide a relatively accurate answer to what was happening here.

In just two days, Budibog hadn't sensed the "escape" again, so this time it was an entity, obediently floating in front of Nolaymore.

"What happened?"

[The candlelight is very bright…]

A candlestick appeared in Budibog's mind, of course, the candlestick representing the authority of the Library.

That was a flame that Lee Read had never seen before, like a huge brazier offered to the gods, the fire soaring into the sky, constantly burning out words and symbols in the outer flame.

[Library… Ascending to the Great Pillar…]

Just as Budibog was thinking, the Library suddenly vibrated, and symbols flowed on the ceiling; Budibog's color gradually turned scarlet, and strange ripples emanated from the grooves of his brain.

The next second, Lee Read broke Budibog's brain with a soul shock.

[?]

Eggjoy and Arka looked back at Lee Read.

"He affected the authority of the Library," Lee Read acted directly when Budibog thought of the title "Great Pillar," and also realized that everything originated from the Time Rune.

If he didn't kill Budibog, he might allow the Lord of the Brain Spirits to regain power, or attract the gaze of the Demon King…

These were not what Lee Read wanted to face now.

He simply killed him.

"Can you help me kill Budibog once a day from now on?" Lee Read instructed Arka—Ying Ying and Eggjoy often received forced summons from the Bone Cart Sect, and might not have time to guard Budibog every day.

He could hand over this task to Arka.

Besides Ying Ying, only he had the ability to catch Budibog at any time and kill him at any time.

"Okay," Arka readily accepted.

Anyway, tonight was the opening battle, followed by a series of Centennial Killing Cups, and Arka felt that resting in the Library was not bad.

"I have to be faster…" Lee Read thought for a while, feeling that the advancement of the Imaginary Object stage could no longer be delayed.

With the gaze of the Time Rune, even killing Budibog every day was not very safe.

He had to return to his position as soon as possible and regain control of the Library's authority.

Not to mention these books that suddenly appeared in the Library—after roughly seeing the Library's picture in Nolaymore's mind, Lee Read had already seen the Brain Spirits, Mini and Mini, touching these books.

The Brain Spirits could die, but Mini and Mini must be forbidden.

And people like Copper Spoon and Tom should also be prevented from touching these unknown knowledge as much as possible…

Lee Read's head suddenly grew a lot, and then he remembered that he didn't seem to see these two people in Ying Ying's head?

Where did they go?

[They are test-flying the Sky Battleship…]

In the Underground City Great Cavern, a battleship hung with bones and eyeballs rose into the sky.

The bones crackled, threatening to disintegrate.
