I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Unfolding his thoughts, Lee Read sensed the water droplets seeping from the cracks in the wall, the brain matter splattered on the ground earlier, the bones in the next room, and also the two distinctly different lives in the three cells across the way…

Humans.

And a demon with even weaker magic than himself… or perhaps an animal?

It's just that the distance is a bit far, and there are many obstructions, so Lee Read can't analyze their identities, and can only vaguely sense their existence.

Moreover, these things… don't seem to have any way to make the fly "die naturally"…

Lee Read was not in a hurry, and refocused his attention on his own cell, patiently infiltrating his thoughts into the stone bricks, into the soil deep inside… Finally, in a hole, he found the perfect "killer."

Its body is smooth, its waist slender, most of the time it is as quiet as a virgin, but it almost always kills with every move, and it can move freely in stone bricks and wall cracks—it is a gecko, a gray-brown gecko with faint black spots.

At this moment, it is resting in the hole, with some emptiness in its abdomen, looking ready to move.

“Come out, little thing…” Lee Read tried to communicate with it mentally, but found it was fruitless—it seems that the brain spirit's abilities are also limited, and the object of communication needs to be a creature with intelligence.

Thinking about it, Lee Read directly pulled the little gecko out of the hole with his thoughts, making a slight noise in the wall crack.

The fly slightly changed its angle, but didn't seem too interested in the movement of creatures in the wall, and remained still; while Lee Read controlled the gecko to stay in the wall crack, waiting for the next time the fly "acted" and went to other cells to take shelter from the wind.

Although the gecko was very small, Lee Read was a little tired from controlling it for a long time, especially since he had to take care of its emotions.

Fortunately, the fly did not make Lee Read fall into endless waiting—the demon in the diagonally opposite cell seemed to be hitting the wall, and the fly was curious, so it flew over to take a look.

It was at this moment that Lee Read moved the gecko out of the wall crack from a distance, and lightly placed it on the thorny flower inside the iron fence.

The iron thorny flower bared its fangs and claws, and the gecko in the flower was almost integrated with it, slightly raising its head, watching the air—although it was a little confused in its heart, wondering why it was pulled from the wall crack to here, it soon forgot about it.

Next is waiting again, waiting for the fly to come back.

This time it was very fast—the fly circled around, and hundreds of compound eyes simultaneously crossed the iron bars, seeing the well-behaved brain spirit, and for a while it was also a little tired, and decided to rest on the iron fence for a while this time.

Choosing a wider thorny flower, the fly slowly flew down, vaguely feeling… that from this angle, the iron fence seemed to be a little different from before?

The thorny flower is more ferocious?

After that, the fly couldn't see anything—the gecko stretched out its tongue, perfectly completing its assassination mission.

At the same time, in the carnival of the arena, O'Keefe's eyes twitched, recalling the fly he had just lost, and slightly curled his lips—the Demon King City should get rid of geckos again, tsk tsk.

Or raise some spider demons and gecko demons to restrain their subordinates?

As soon as this thought arose, O'Keefe's attention was diverted by the naked bodies of the female demons seen simultaneously in billions of compound eyes…

Ahem, forget it, who cares…

The gecko assassinated the fly, and Lee Read remained motionless, but in his mind he was already checking every detail of the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

The most basic function of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, and also the function that Lee Read uses the most at present… is the analysis and information bar—the information lists the types of demons that have been collected, currently 3 types, the demon wolf Fendis, the skeleton, and O'Keefe.

The three pieces of information are sorted according to the serial number order, and detailed content will be displayed after touching them with thoughts, as well as their dynamics, including walking, attacking, and provoking, etc., in various ways.

In addition to the information list of the illustrated handbook, this time Lee Read also noticed another value of the system in the first time—Malice.

[Malice] is displayed in the lower left corner of the home page of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, and the value has now accumulated to 10573, the main source of which is the Demon King's 9999, and the rest is the scattered contribution of O'Keefe and the skeleton.

What Lee Read wants to know most at this moment is the function of [Malice]—the main panel of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, the functions are not evenly distributed, and can even be said to be a kind of chaos, several blank spaces seem to be shrouded in black mist, no matter how much Lee Read concentrates his mind, he can't see clearly.

For example, below [Malice], for example, on the right side of the [Illustrated Handbook] column, there are not small gaps, but it is when Lee Read concentrates his thoughts on the area on the right side of the [Illustrated Handbook] column that a prompt suddenly pops up.

[Do you want to spend 10000 Malice to unlock a new function?]

Ten thousand points is not a small amount, Lee Read believes that the Demon Illustrated Handbook will provide matching benefits; and currently, except for this function, no other function of [Malice] has been found, so there is nothing to hesitate about.

“Yes.” Lee Read gave a positive answer in his mind.

The black mist suddenly thinned, and was gradually dispelled as the malice points rapidly decreased, completely disappearing when the [Malice] value fell back to 573, and a new function was also displayed on the panel of the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

Transformation.

The moment the new function was turned on, Lee Read couldn't wait to use his thoughts to open it, and then a picture very close to the illustrated handbook information column was displayed in his mind.

It is still the three kinds of demons, the demon wolf warrior, the skeleton, and O'Keefe, but at this moment, below their detailed information, there is an extra "Transformation" button, which is marked with the [Malice] to be consumed for the transformation.

Skeleton 100, Demon Wolf Warrior 200, O'Keefe 3000.

Can you "transform" yourself into the appearance of a demon that has been collected in the Demon Illustrated Handbook?

Lee Read instantly understood the function of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, and chuckled "hehe" in his heart, and unfolded endless associations—transforming into a skeleton, can he move freely in the Demon King City?

Didn't the illustrated handbook write that the "distribution" of skeletons is "everywhere"…

What about transforming into a demon wolf warrior? You can deter some low-level demons, or even extort them?

After all, the Demon King City is a world where the weak are prey to the strong, and growing into the appearance of a strong person… will definitely bring a lot of benefits, especially a strong person like O'Keefe.

To be bolder—what if one day, the Demon Illustrated Handbook collects the city lord?

I remember that when analyzing the city lord at the beginning, the prompt of the Demon Illustrated Handbook was [Analysis interrupted, record saved]?

One share is 0.01%, see ten thousand faces… maybe it will work?

Isn't it true that you can't reach a thousand miles without accumulating small steps!

I just don't know how many places are specifically reserved after the decimal point…

Lee Read's brain grooves twitched unnaturally. If he still had a human body, he would undoubtedly have drooled at this moment—seeing the potential of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, Lee Read couldn't help but think a lot.

At this moment, he was leaning against the corner of the wall, like a child who had stolen candy and had not been discovered, his mouth was full of sweetness, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Fortunately, O'Keefe's flies were solved in advance, otherwise what would it look like now?

Ahem… forcibly extracting himself from the imagination, Lee Read sorted out the current logic of the Demon Illustrated Handbook—collect malice, collect more demons, you can transform into different forms, and you can also unlock more functions of the Demon Illustrated Handbook…

In a place like the Demon King City, what is easiest to collect… is probably malice?

It's best to have more of a treasure boy like the Demon King who has 9999 malice at a time—although Lee Read doesn't know the specific judgment rules of the [Malice] value, he already has a grasp of the general direction, and it doesn't conflict with the road to becoming the Demon King at all.

Next there is only one question—does transformation mean transforming into the appearance of others, or… can even the strength be transformed together?

Lee Read didn't quite believe that the Demon Illustrated Handbook could be so heaven-defying, and made enough preparations for disappointment, and decided to try it.

Click on "Skeleton" in the list, and Lee Read confirms the transformation.

[Malice - 100]

[Malice - 1-1 - 1… ]
