I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#84 - First move: kill
Outside the Gate of Chaos, a magic wolf warrior was waiting. Its fur was black, and its physique was robust, showing no signs of injury. The simple bed and sofa made by MiniMini had been dismembered and scattered on the ground in a mess.
The lute was piled in a corner, and there were several marks on the speaker where stones had bumped against it.
As the red hour was about to end, the magic wolf Finley was resting, but its furry ears were always facing the direction of the Gate of Chaos, not letting go of any slight movement.
Unfortunately, it couldn't detect Li Yue, who had entered the "Stealth" state.
Finley's vigil didn't surprise Li Yue—after being imprisoned in the confinement room for a whole month, this level of change in the situation was already in the pre-judgment, and it also fit the magic wolf's character very well.
Solitary and violent, disdaining to associate with Bosh, it ran to the entrance of the Gate of Chaos on its own, attempting to kill himself head-on…
Li Yue raised his bone sword and circled it twice around Finley's lower abdomen, then shook his head—Bosh would definitely chase after him when he saw him disappear, so he couldn't touch Finley yet.
Sure enough, immediately afterward, the Gate of Chaos rippled, and Bosh and his two demon guards emerged one after another, startling Finley, who had been guarding for half the night; fortunately, Nate Meimei and Mai Mai didn't come out. Li Yue was glad that Yingying had kept its promise and didn't want irrelevant people to come out and cause trouble.
"Where's the skeleton?" Bosh roared at Finley, his face twisted.
"What skeleton? I only saw three little devils coming to die," Finley roared back, opening its wolf claws with two metallic sounds.
Li Yue had already analyzed the state of Bosh and his two guards in the entertainment room. He discovered that Bosh's three hearts were located at the base of his wings, under his armpits, and on the inside of his right thigh, respectively; while Keli and Ke'er were not demon legion commanders. When he enveloped them with his mind, the analysis progress of the Demon Illustrated Handbook increased rapidly, and he soon collected 1203, the Demon Guard.
In the description, the Demon Guard was not much different from the Demon Legion Commander. The habit still included the words "demon born from a blood cocoon," and it was stated that they "only obey the orders of the Demon Legion Commander"; the skill was "Rebirth" without plundering power, and the number of hearts was two, located in the neck and crotch respectively.
As for the number of lives, Li Yue checked the current state of the three demons and found that Bosh still had 3 lives, while Keli and Ke'er each had only 1 life left.
"Bastard… How dare you?" Bosh's hands were covered in lava, forming a triangular formation with Keli and Ke'er.
Li Yue suspected that Bosh didn't know how many lives he had left, and then suddenly remembered the Demon Legion Commander's "Plundering Power" skill, suspecting that Keli and Ke'er's lives could also be used by Bosh.
So… to be safe, estimate five lives.
After analyzing the state of Bosh and his two guards, Li Yue was not interested in the dispute between Bosh and Finley. He went straight to the library hall without stopping, first to complete the first goal, moving the first chess piece.
In the hall, the remaining MiniMinis were sleeping sparsely. Li Yue came to his own MiniMini, watching them drool and transmitting his thoughts.
"Wake up."
"Ah… Babaaba… Who's talking… Brother?" Mini was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a mental wave. When he woke up, he couldn't find Li Yue's existence and thought he was dreaming.
In the "Stealth" state, Li Yue could transmit thoughts without being perceived, but the action of "touching" reality would break the stealth state.
"Yes, it's me, don't be afraid, don't ask questions," Li Yue seized every second to instruct Mini, "Now, you take all the MiniMinis to the sixth library room and seal the door of the sixth library room, don't let the slave scholars run out."
Li Yue needed to gather the MiniMinis together first, gather them in a relatively safe place to avoid being affected by the battle. As for the shift change that should have been done during the green hour to close the combat training… Li Yue had other plans.
"Why…" MiniMini couldn't understand Li Yue's arrangement, but remembered that his brother said not to ask questions, so he nodded heavily and hammered awake Mini on the side.
"Quick," Li Yue urged—the red hour was about to end, the library was about to wake up, the brain spirits were about to "go to work," and Budiboge was likely to launch the second round of absorbing brain spirits.
He had to complete the "shift change" before that, otherwise not only would Budiboge recover greatly, but Li Yue would also lose a perfect opportunity to take action.
The two MiniMinis supported each other and ran towards Old Mini, chattering and pulling everyone away; many MiniMinis who had been serving in the closed combat training the night before didn't wake up at all and were dragged through the long corridor into the sixth library room at the end of the bottom floor.
Li Yue sent them in all the way, using all his strength to sense, and only felt the fleeting turmoil inside, then he knew that the MiniMinis must have beaten up the slave scholars and temporarily controlled the sixth library room.
Returning to the lower corridor of the library, Li Yue first adjusted his state through meditation—after the Self-Healing Bone became a sensory object, Li Yue had a feeling of regaining his body, but this did not affect his brain spirit instinct.
After a little adjustment, Li Yue tentatively turned back towards the Gate of Chaos—in Li Yue's plan, Bosh's choice here was crucial.
Would this pureblood demon turn the library upside down, or what?
If it was the former, Li Yue would have to give up the "shift change" plan, completely hide himself, until a demon child was alone.
Each move of a chess piece is a completely different change on the chessboard.
When Li Yue returned to the middle level of the library, he caught up with Bosh scolding Finley and ordering the two guards: "The wolf said the skeleton didn't come out, I don't believe it! You two, search carefully, don't let go of a single crack in the wall!"
The magic wolf Finley twitched its nose and didn't speak.
"I suspect Mento's blessing… gave him new abilities, otherwise it's impossible to disappear for no reason," Bosh was a little nervous in addition to his rage, "So I have to go back too, to pray for power from the blood cocoon, to pray for help…"
"It will be over by the end of the next blue hour. Before that, you search carefully!" Bosh roared the order, but Finley still didn't think Li Yue had a way to escape its sense of smell.
"Yes, sir!" Keli and Ke'er patted their chests and then began to carefully check every crack in the wall and every piece of the floor.
Although Li Yue didn't know what kind of help Bosh would pray for, he was overjoyed when he heard that he would only return in the blue hour—there was a whole green hour to play with, enough for him to make the first few moves well.
Bosh left, Finley pretended to sleep, and Keli and Ke'er buried themselves in searching the eleventh and twelfth library rooms. Just the middle level alone was enough to keep them busy.
Li Yue flew to the lower level of the library.
The red hour came to its last tail, the moonlight in the library hall began to change, and Li Yue barely stabilized his mental state; after looking inside, he didn't see the "Rebellion" state, and everything was ready.
Li Yue rushed towards his first target—not any of the demon children.
…
For the Book Demon, this day was not much different. It guessed that the Brain Spirit Lord Budiboge should still summon the brain spirits for absorption, which meant… the work of the supervisor would be very easy. It just had to keep an eye on the naughty MiniMinis and not let them make too much noise.
Floating to the lower level of the library, the Book Demon sensed an unusual quiet—in the past, even if the MiniMinis and brain spirits hadn't woken up, there would at least be some rustling sounds in the library, but why was there no movement today?
Near the thirteenth library room… there were also three annoying demon children looking for something…
The master was also injured… the closed combat training was so troublesome…
The Book Demon avoided Finley, Keli, and Ke'er with a heavy heart and came to the lower level. When it saw the brain spirits resurrected on time, it found a little feeling that "everything was normal."
The Book Demon first entered the library hall, standing proudly in the center of the hall like a king, waiting for the start of the day's work, and also waiting for the brain spirits to be summoned by Budiboge.
But just as the Book Demon had just stood firm, the door of the hall closed.
"Good morning, Mr. Book Demon, may you find eternal peace."
At the moment of closing, a skeleton suddenly appeared at the door, nodding slightly, looking very polite; and just as the Book Demon's attention was attracted by the skeleton, a bone sword from behind the Book Demon pierced towards the exposed, short section of binding thread!
He wasn't participating in the closed combat training?
What hatred did he have with himself?
Even at this time, the Book Demon couldn't figure out why the Skeleton Prince would run here to attack himself.
The pages had just begun to open, but the bone sword had already cut the Book Demon's binding thread—a book… scattered on the ground with a rustle, losing its soul.
Li Yue had a backup plan here, but he didn't expect to use it—if the bone sword couldn't kill with one blow, Li Yue even planned to stab the Book Demon with the "Thorn of Decay" to kill it silently.
Because this step was crucial.
And relying on the "Stealth" blessing, Li Yue succeeded with one blow, solving the manager of the library hall.
[Malice + 1444]
The first chess piece, eaten.
