I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"You finally remembered to come back, please give me a hand, thank you. Google search reading," Egg said, stuck in the rock.

The lava solidified, thus "embedding" Egg inside; Egg's particles were also solidified together, unable to exert force, and so it couldn't move.

Li Yue and Yingying worked together to pry Egg out of the rock. After instructing Mini and Mini to continue distributing food and water from the Demon Kitchen to the slave scholars as usual, they resumed heading towards the upper level of the library.

Like Yingying, Mini and Mini also had similar doubts—why still give the slave scholars food? Why not treat them as food?

Fortunately, the benefit of being "Scourge" is that there is no need to explain—Li Yue only told Mini and Mini not to bully the slave scholars too much, and they could do whatever else they wanted, then left without looking back.

Lulu and Feifei were still surveying the terrain. After Li Yue settled the three indigenous groups of the library, he finally decided to focus his limited energy on exploring the "Little Cloak"—based on current observations, this thing is the most mysterious and closest to that illusory "authority."

Li Yue didn't know what the cloak was covering, but probing it with his mind felt like entering a maze. Only by exploring it layer by layer could he rule out its suspicion.

During this time of exploring the cloak, Li Yue could also continue to "absorb" the knowledge stored in his mind, including information related to the "pituitary gland," soul contracts, and 《Deadly Mechanisms》.

Especially 《Deadly Mechanisms》—this is the fastest way to use existing materials to turn the library into a fortress.

Ideally, he should design the blueprint today, and then attend Mentor's "Advancement Studies" when it's Red Time today, and ask this Demon King instructor some questions by the way.

Oh, no, before entering the Chaos Gate, he also needs to check what the 20 mind spirits chose as sensory objects…

Li Yue suddenly felt like he didn't have enough time.

Thinking this, Li Yue, Yingying, and Egg returned to the Soul Altar. The three demons looked at the blue-purple cloak floating on the altar and noticed the differences.

"This isn't right, is it? It's changed."

"It's lifted a corner."

Li Yue was silent—unlike when they left, the cloak, which originally wrapped something layer by layer, had now unfolded a little, as if gradually revealing a secret.

What happened?

Li Yue recalled everything that had happened in this round trip, but he couldn't deduce what caused this change for the time being.

"Could it be because we killed Budi Boge again?" Yingying's guess was the only guess, because neither Mini nor the slave scholars…had anything to do with the existence of the upper level of the library, and their survival status shouldn't be reflected on the cloak.

And the daily killing of low-level mind spirits has become the norm. When they came yesterday, 59 died without any change. There's no reason why this time would be different.

"Maybe." Li Yue became more certain that the existence of this cloak was related to "authority."

"Then if we kill Budi Boge every day, the secret will be revealed one day!" Yingying's curiosity made him seem a little cruel at this moment.

Battle training, sleep, kill Budi Boge?

Li Yue had no objection to this cycle.

Seizing the time, Li Yue extended his mind from the outside of the cloak inward, but suddenly realized that this cloak was completely different from the Self-Healing Bone and the Bone Sword, and he couldn't penetrate it at all?

If "soaking" calculates progress based on the target's texture and strength, then the cloak's progress is actually 0!

Completely unable to become a "sensory object," Li Yue could only keep trying and failing like walking through a maze, and at most, he could only find out what was wrapped in the core.

In other words, this cloak is very strong, an existence beyond Li Yue's cognition.

Li Yue became more and more certain that the thing wrapped in the cloak was related to authority. While excited, he began multi-tasking—the mind spirits' strength improvement largely depends on the sensory object, so if the cloak doesn't work, he can't just waste this time…

Among Li Yue's current materials, the Binding Thread and the Lava Right Hand are still in the realm of mental manipulation, and he can't control them as easily as his limbs. However, Li Yue didn't set his sights on them, but instead took out Budi Boge's "Mind Spirit Pituitary Gland."

The material dropped by this Mind Spirit Lord has not yet found a use. Even if it is embedded in the body using the Demon Blueprint, it is only an extra decoration. Li Yue always feels that it can be deeply developed.

After all, this is the reward for killing the Mind Spirit Lord.

Li Yue expects to transform this pituitary gland into a "sensory object" and get some surprises.

Of course, Li Yue is not without other options—besides his own materials, Li Yue suspects that Yingying or Egg could also become sensory objects, but since he is a mind spirit, it seems that turning the "Mind Spirit Pituitary Gland" into a sensory object should be faster and more efficient.

With Li Yue's mind power concentration, he can at most wrap two things with his mind at the same time, so he temporarily let go of Yingying and Egg.

Thus, a skeleton sat in front of the Soul Altar, staring at the blue-purple cloak floating in the air, while a right hand covered in magic patterns pinched a pituitary gland and silently watched. The scene was very strange.

【Is it some kind of ritual…a ritual to steal authority? Damn it…I need to become stronger too…I can't delay any longer…】

Yingying filled in the blanks for a moment without any clue, shrunk to the corner of the wall, and began to devour the scattered magic power on the upper level of the library; Egg clearly sensed the subtle changes in the space, its particles were chaotic for a moment, and then turned into a bowl shape again.

Like a radar.

A skeleton, a shadow, and an egg were still in the cave; Green Time, Blue Time…the magic hourglass of the library turned and changed color, and time passed bit by bit.

During this period, there were, of course, conflicts between the slave scholars and the mind spirits and Mini, and there was also the "fresh" food and water delivered by the Demon Kitchen, and the chief engineer of the library, Lulu and Feifei, measured every inch of land with their footsteps.

The result of the three-way conflict was that Mini won a great victory. The mind spirits and slave scholars each paid the price of several lives to recognize who was the most favored creature of Scourge, and they also entered a relatively calm period.

And when Lulu and Feifei came to the upper cave and entered the core area, Li Yue's progress in "soaking" the pituitary gland was still very slow, and the cloak maze had only explored the outer layer, and he didn't know how many layers were inside.

Li Yue was not in a hurry—even with the blessing of "absorption," it took almost thirty days to complete the soaking of the Self-Healing Bone and the Bone Sword, so how could he possibly accept the "Mind Spirit Pituitary Gland" so quickly.

Li Yue kept thinking about whether to apply for confinement from Mentor at tonight's "Advancement Studies," but he was afraid that this old thing would bury some pit, so he finally decided to rely on himself.

When Lulu and Feifei came to his side, Li Yue had already thought about the defense blueprint of the library in his mind, with only some details to be perfected.

Lulu and Feifei saw that Li Yue was meditating and couldn't bear to disturb him, so they obediently sat aside, holding a piece of paper and gesticulating; Li Yue beckoned the two little guys over, ready to listen to their ideas.

"Brother! We've figured it out, we want this!" Lulu and Feifei waved the torn paper in front of Li Yue, "This is the fiercest! Even if ten more Bosch come, we want to send him back to the Abyss Maw to die!"

Li Yue looked at the ferocious drawing on the paper and didn't expect the two little guys to be so ruthless.
