I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#752 - Deceiving Candlelight

After a rough analysis, Li Yue felt there were several ways to realize A-Cheng's idea.

The most brutal of these, of course, would be to display unmatched strength, directly kill Nier and Jesse here, and ascend to the throne of the Colosseum King.

That would be similar to when he was the City Defense Commander, where he could freely distribute the Killing Thirst and set the rules for the Killing Cup.

But that's too difficult.

Another very practical approach would be to travel around the continent via the Demon Route in a short period, distribute the dominoes, and then find Xinxin to do a live broadcast.

Although it's a clumsy method, both Candlelight and A-Cheng should be able to feel the weight of this Killing Thirst and know that he has the ability to multiply production.

But that's too troublesome.

Far less so than deception.

Yes, Li Yue planned to directly treat A-Ka as a magic stone, using Demon King-level magic power to show the live broadcast to A-Cheng.

This was much simpler.

A-Ka telepathically transmitted the plan to Li Yue.

It touched some kind of memory for it.

"Oh, is this wrong? Can he be killed?" A-Ka was also a little curious about Jesse's current level.

[Who said we're going to deceive A-Cheng? We're actually deceiving it...]

A-Ka recalled some things, and then, under the urging of Li Yue and Norelmore, it drew in Li Yue's magic power, tainted with Candlelight's thought threads.

[Alright, if you say so.]" The Warrior smiled.

Clearly, the Hall of Pleasure and the Casino... were also paying attention to this Centennial Killing Cup.

A-Ka's tentacles touched the twin gun tattoo, and the blood color intertwined with the fire clouds suddenly retracted and dissipated.

"What do you want to exchange for?" A-Cheng asked.

[Don't worry, this Killing Cup is as good as ours. As long as we take care of the Colosseum and A-Cheng, I'll make sure you have food every day...]

"Don't be hasty. At this time, you have to ask, what do I want?" A-Ka re-taught the Warrior how to negotiate.

The Warrior still remembered A-Cheng once saying that the Killing Thirst obtained from the Colosseum would be used to nourish those pillars that had not yet awakened...

"You have that ability... please do so." At the base, A-Cheng finally spoke again.

[If we do that, won't I lose today's match?]

The Warrior acted like a salesman who was trying to make a sale.

"But... it's not something I can give just because I want to..." A-Cheng seemed to hesitate, thinking of a throne.

[I need you to be my magic stone...]

Yingying read Li Yue's thoughts and found a loophole.

It's best not to get involved, as it would be affected.

Bundles of thought threads diverged inexplicably in several places, connecting to a small city with matchstick arms and legs.

The Warrior sought Li Yue's permission.

The shadow demon's magic power was still needed to construct the images, so the only thing A-Ka could use as a magic stone was Li Yue.

And these two demons themselves had no intention of killing him. While the Warrior was fighting Jesse, he was actually devouring the souls he could; Dan Dan simply repeatedly crashed into him and was kicked away, out of prejudice against the knight.

When it opened them again, a river flowed in its right eye.

"Mmm..." A-Cheng quickly reacted.

A-Cheng's perception of the Colosseum came from the authority itself, so deceiving the authority was equivalent to deceiving A-Cheng, the same thing.

Li Yue didn't want to let go of such a convenient opportunity to devour souls.

Seeing him killing in all directions in the Colosseum, like one person fighting a hundred demons, but in fact, most of the pressure came from Dan Dan and Li Yue.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this?" A-Ka could sense the emotions of the Colosseum from Candlelight's thoughts, and knew that although it had forgotten Scolrek, it still yearned for this scene.

And at that moment, on the thread of thought, the Casino's force suddenly opened the door and dropped a die.

"It's very expensive... it requires very, very little quality..." A-Cheng blinked, "I can also deceive you, get your Killing Thirst first, and then not give you that thing."

[Can we do that?]

The Warrior would certainly not be stupid enough to directly make a real request to A-Cheng, but instead used a river's relic as a test—the river's relic was originally knocked down by the City Defense Commander, but was forcibly taken away by the Demon King.

"Hehe." Li Yue was noncommittal.

Where is that bed?

"What do you want?" A-Cheng learned very quickly.

If there was such a relic embedded in the Sky Ark, then whether it was power or defense, there would be an exponential increase.

A-Ka just wanted to observe A-Cheng's reaction.

Although Jesse was not yet a Rank 9 Knight, the pinnacle of knights, she was still unable to stop Li Yue from suddenly withdrawing—something that even the River plus Wallace could not do, she could not do in a hurry.

A-Ka inserted the Staff of Deception into the Warrior's head, and instantly saw the thread of Candlelight's thoughts.

"I want to exchange for... a river's relic."

A-Ka was a little headache.

Candlelight was also beating in a strange rhythm, the twin swords of the world rubbed against each other, and the moon flickered on and off.

As long as he could further close the distance with A-Cheng, how to fight and arrange the Killing Cup would be the next step.

Presented in the Colosseum's Candlelight, is that what it looks like?

As for those pillars... if we follow this logic, shouldn't it be the Hall of Thrones...?

"Perhaps... you can hide it from me?" A-Ka boldly tried, wanting to see how far A-Cheng could go.

Anyway, he only needed to let A-Cheng see this "possibility" for a moment, and the negotiation would naturally be able to continue.

The Warrior imagined the people at the gambling table and the demon ball looking on, thinking that they really wouldn't be absent.

It was like a pillar reaching the sky, connecting the moon and the twin swords.

"What do you want to exchange for?" A-Cheng repeated, without giving A-Ka any options like a menu.

Li Yue's cloak billowed, blood stirred, and countless souls died as a result.

Yingying also changed shape, recreating the grand occasion of Scolrek's live broadcast when he was still the King of the Colosseum and the City Defense Commander.

"What can be exchanged?"

The dragon's wings might be related to Dragon Mountain? The bones are the Tomb of Light?

Isn't that Dreamland?

[Use A-Ka to deceive A-Cheng? Is that not enough?]

They saw people all over the continent surrounding the dominoes and the distorted eye, pouring all their Killing Thirst into the battles in the wasteland.

"What's the matter? That little girl is starting to look like a human." The Warrior was summoned back to the bone room, patting off a few burning flames from his clothes.

The remaining emblems also had a bed, dragon wings, bones, several pillars, etc.—this meant that some other beings were also watching.

A-Cheng.

Are they also areas of the Demon King City?

"I want to use the Killing Thirst I produce additionally... to exchange for some things from you." A-Ka knew that they had finally reached the main point. With two shadows and a vampire with a staff stuck in his head, he sat firmly in the bone room, rubbing his brain.

Humans and demons widened their eyes, their eyes bloodshot, wishing they could all become a part of the Colosseum.

The lie took effect.

"Oh, right..." A-Cheng closed his eyes.

The access points of the thought threads also seemed to be a bit particular, each leading to a door, with an emblem on the door.

"Ha! I knew it!" Words appeared on the die's face.

Li Yue sketched out a candlestick, twin swords, and the moon in his mind.
