I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“You did well…” Li Yue wriggled his bone chamber and “spit out” the Flying Dagger from the ground, along with the remnants of Galarick, piling them next to the skull fragments.

“This is my honor.” Galarick was nothing but a pile of dry bones, rattling on the ground.

“I thought you were dead.” Li Yue stabbed at the Eyemonstrosity while opening the Brain Spirit Lord's shell.

A "bohemian bony hipster" walked out from within.

“Death…cannot provide more help to the master.” Galarick seemed to think quite clearly, which made Li Yue feel he was quite useful—a demon who knows how to maximize his value can always create more value.

It's just that Galarick's loyalty relies on Skolreik. Li Yue felt that if he really wanted to subdue him… it would be better to sign a contract sooner rather than later.

At least it has to be a high-level demon's contract…

I can wait until the Demon Market to buy one—Li Yue learned quite a lot of knowledge about soul contracts from the upper-level fragments, and remembered that if he signed a contract with a high-level demon… there are three irreplaceable high-level auxiliary materials: Jueshan Crystal, Sindrami Holy Ash, and the Horn of the Evilhorn Beast.

Among the three materials, Li Yue only knew that there were Evilhorn Beasts in the Forbidden Forest. As for Jueshan, it was the barrier separating the eastern and western continents, and he didn't know where the crystal came from; Sindrami was the Holy City of the Theosian Empire and the scholars, so the Holy Ash should be some kind of material stored in the Holy City of Sindrami? The ashes of priests or bishops?

Can red-robed priests be used as substitutes?

Li Yue roughly went through the materials and felt that most of them still had to be found in the Demon Market. It would be good if he could directly exchange them for gold coins anyway, since he had saved money in advance.

As for deceiving Galarick into signing a contract… Li Yue didn't have any psychological burden. Anyway, he gave this skeleton knight his body, so it was only natural for him to serve him.

What's more… at a certain point in time, Li Yue would also help him open the Thirteenth Archive Room and fulfill his lifelong wish.

“Is Master very idle? Why torture it?” Galarick always felt that Master Skolreik would not do pointless things, and stabbing these thousands of eyeballs must have a deep meaning.

“Can I be of service to you?” Galarick said, creaking and piecing together a slender body with the remaining bone, and stood next to the Eyemonstrosity.

Li Yue also directly helped him reattach a set of Self-Healing Bones, clearly indicating that the Skeleton Knight should help chop it up—in this way, the Eyemonstrosity quickly turned into a pile of rotten eye sockets under the attack of bone spurs and bone swords. It was only after piercing the last eyeball that the Demon Illustrated Handbook finally popped up a notification.

【Killed a high-level demon…】

An eyeball suddenly appeared in the Demon Illustrated Handbook. Li Yue probed it with his mind and was immediately overjoyed.

The "Eye of Aberration" retained its original functions, including perspective, true vision, creating illusions, and petrification rays. Its malice consumption was also quite cost-effective, requiring only 1000 per unit.

Of course, the unit of the Eye of Aberration is calculated per eyeball, and cannot be divided and polished like the Self-Healing Bones.

But that's enough—just like tentacles, you can never have too many eyes…

Li Yue even hoped to have the opportunity to receive the eyes of the Nightmare Succubus and the Demon Merchant in the future, plus functions such as "Appraisal" and "Nightmare."

But in that case, the malice would be a little insufficient—but once someone coveted the authority of the Archive, and a war broke out with the Archive… this could also be effectively resolved.

Just like when he killed the four gladiators just now, although there was not much malice, killing the flies of Oogie Boogie… was enough for Li Yue to conduct a live experiment with the Eye of Aberration.

“Bo bo…” When the blood vessels of the Eyemonstrosity's eyes were sutured onto Li Yue's body with stitches, Li Yue finally truly saw the world in front of him, and had a feeling of being reborn.

However, the Brain Spirit's way of perceiving things has become an instinct. Li Yue mostly uses the Eye of Aberration as a weapon, using dual perception to explore the world and seek "truth."

“Just now…” Galarick noticed Li Yue's action of putting away the eyeballs, and then saw that the Brain Spirit Lord's shell suddenly had two more rows of eyeballs, which was even more terrifying.

“Yeah, his eyes are mine now.” Li Yue also bumped two eyeballs into the eye sockets of the “bohemian bony hipster”, scanning everything in the bone chamber living room, admiring his work.

He had wanted eyes for a long time—after killing the Eyemonster, the Eyemonster Gnoll, and the Eyemonstrosity, Li Yue finally got his wish.

【Isn't beauty in bones for skeletons… why would Master Skolreik… add eyeballs to himself…】

Galarick raised high doubts.

【Bastard! Don't question Master Skolreik! This is the powerful existence, who does not change his pursuit of "power" because of appearance…】

Galarick persuaded himself.

“Dinner time.” Li Yue returned the various areas of the Archive to their original positions, and let the Miniminies come in for dinner—the gladiators had died, the magic power consumed by the Archive was replenished to a certain extent, and the flesh and blood that had not yet evaporated would become the palm food of the Archive's demons.

The Miniminies rushed in in a swarm, and quickly snatched the remaining corpses on the ground. Lulu and Feifei ran in without starting to eat, hugged Li Yue, and then turned to salute Galarick, thanking him for his decisiveness.

“Brother! Your eyes are so beautiful!” Lulu and Feifei were always able to notice Li Yue's changes at the first time, and stuck to Li Yue's bone face, so close that Li Yue could feel the two little ones' breathing.

“Lend them to you to play with…” Li Yue was about to exchange for two more pairs of Eyes of Aberration when he found Lulu and Feifei reaching out their little hands, digging out a pair from the eye sockets, and tearing off some blood vessels and stitches.

“Can… we eat… them?” Feifei swallowed and directly stuffed an Eye of Aberration into her mouth.

“Spit it out!” Lulu slapped the back of Feifei's head hard, knocking out the eyeball covered in saliva, “Isn't it a waste to eat it like this? We have to ask Little Pig first…”

“Wait, you can't eat them…” One unit of Self-Healing Bones is enough for many Miniminies to eat as snacks, but the Eyes of Aberration are not enough to satisfy their appetite, Li Yue shook his head repeatedly.

Lulu and Feifei had even more saliva, and it dripped down.

“Well… you've been working hard recently, I'll give you one each…” Li Yue rubbed the heads of the two little ones, and tore off the stitches connecting the two Eyes of Aberration with his mind.

Galarick looked at Lulu and Feifei with a different look in his eyes.

“Then we're going to find Little Pig!” Lulu and Feifei put the Eyes of Aberration in their arms and were about to run to the Gate of Chaos.

“Don't go, they're busy, go after class.” Li Yue stopped the two little ones, shrank back into the Brain Spirit Lord's shell, and the ground began to wriggle again.

“When will class be over?” “Brother, what are you doing?”

Lulu and Feifei asked their own questions.

“Wait, at the latest until Green Hour, everything will have an answer.” Li Yue knew that a drastic change was taking place in Demon King City tonight, and the Archive needed to wait for a result.

Will the Colosseum and the Archive start a full-scale war? Or will the Demon Expeditionary Force soon set off?

Will they recruit soldiers before the expedition? Will they recruit Brain Spirits?

While repairing the Bloody Corridor that had been dug open by the Demon Armor Knights, Li Yue waited for Budibug's return… or resurrection.
