I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Simultaneously deceiving three Rank 8 Heroes consumes a great deal of energy. Li Yue must use every bit of mana wisely to break the current predicament.

Two more levels down is the 17th floor where the Hellfire is located. It's a good place to deal with these three and leave early.

Li Yue deployed Deception, leaving behind an afterimage that they recognized to continue fleeing downwards, while his true self, cloaked in three Van Helsing disguises and surrounded by a cloud of egg-like particles, turned back to face the three Heroes above.

Each of the three Van Helsings wielded a bone sword, with countless more hidden within their bodies, ready to chop off the heads of Abaddon, Barrow, and Bonnie.

Thieves and merchants don't have the 'endurance' of Huntelaar. If their heads are chopped off, they'll definitely die.

If they don't die, then chop them into mincemeat.

At the same time, Li Yue didn't use octopus tentacles to discharge electricity or lava from his right hand, as Van Helsing, bone swords, and particles were relatively concealed. Making too much of a commotion would consume more mana from the Library and more easily trigger a reaction from the blood cocoon.

Get close first, then unleash the bone sea, using everything available...

Abaddon and the others had been chasing for a long time, never expecting the demon they were hounding to suddenly turn back and appear right beside them...

When the bone swords were about to pierce their flesh, bringing the threat of death, the three of them suddenly became alert.

Deception consumes relatively little mana. Li Yue still lacked the power to deceive and kill three Rank 8 Heroes in one fell swoop.

The Thorn of Decay was naturally reserved for Abaddon himself, while the remaining two bone swords were ordinary Bones of Self-Healing.

As the aura of death spread, and the distant skeletons in their vision transformed into three burly men nearby, Abaddon, Barrow, and Bonnie each used their life-saving means, attempting to regain a safe distance from Li Yue.

Barrow and Bonnie chose to stealth immediately, but the chaos they just unleashed instantly dissipated under the influence of the egg-like particles. Abaddon also threw a teleportation-type magic coin from his money bag, but it was likewise shattered by the particles.

As for the earth element mage, he was directly crushed by the suddenly close and rapidly expanding bone sea.

At the moment of his death, the expression on his face was actually one of relief.

When the three awoke from the Deception, Li Yue naturally no longer held back. The bone sea, under the pull of his will and the binding threads, formed a bone ball, firmly enveloping Abaddon, Barrow, and Bonnie, preparing to crush them to death.

Just as the Thorn of Decay was about to pierce Abaddon's neck, and faced with the endless bone sea and the undead emerging from the gaps in the particles, it was finally Abaddon's 'saved' resources that saved their lives.

A blindingly bright light shield split apart the darkness of the Abyssal Maw, forcibly holding up the space within a few meters around the three of them.

That strong light even forced back the Thorn of Decay.

【Holy Knight's Holy Shield... worth 77,000... all your debt...】

Under the scorching of the light, the skin of the three Van Helsings disintegrated, and their movements seemed to be stuck, unable to push the bone swords even an inch further inward.

Li Yue certainly didn't think he could kill them so easily. Besides aiming for the necks of the three at the first opportunity, more bone swords also pierced out from the bodies of the Van Helsings, washing over their bodies along the flow of bone spurs.

Using Deception again, targeting Abaddon alone, Li Yue used his will to tear open the money bag attached to the merchant's belt.

The money bag separated from Abaddon.

Li Yue's first goal was naturally the lives of the three, and the second goal was Abaddon's money bag.

Because it contained too many coins saved by the merchant, it was his trump card and the biggest variable.

Without the money bag, there would be no resources, and he could be killed however he wanted...

Just like Huntelaar without a map.

Li Yue wanted to cut off Abaddon's wealth.

However, Abaddon's reaction gave Li Yue a blow to the head.

【Haha, let him rob! However much he robs, that's how much he owes me!】

Seeing the money bag sliding towards Li Yue, Abaddon was overjoyed.

His Demon Cocoon... was actually an unrobbable merchant?

Li Yue felt the difficulty, but didn't give up.

Tearing open the money bag, the coins floated in the strong light, and Li Yue instantly sensed and grasped the appearance of the tens of thousands of coins inside.

There were humans, magic, food, potions, demon relics...

Li Yue roughly calculated the numbers on the coins, there were tens of millions. If he robbed them all, he would probably be trapped as well.

【Rob it, rob it, no one can resist the temptation of wealth... Even if you destroy them, you still owe me, just a little less...】

Abaddon's inner voice revealed some details—destruction is owed less than robbery?

Okay, he can't afford to rob, but he can afford to destroy. If he can't destroy everything, then he can pick and choose.

Li Yue decisively changed his thinking, and with a burst of mental shock, instantly destroyed all the coins related to teleportation stones and brain pith walnuts.

This is the Abyssal Maw, and the enemies, besides each other, also have curses.

As a brain that had experienced being infected by the desire to kill, Li Yue fully understood what the consequences would be.

Killing the three didn't necessarily require destroying their physical bodies. Assimilating them was also a way of thinking.

【1.07 million... 17% interest per day...】

When a portion of the coins in mid-air were crushed into waste, Abaddon's initial reaction was to calculate Li Yue's debt, and then he immediately realized something was wrong.

【Potions... teleportation... he destroyed these two! He wants to use the curse of the Abyssal Maw!】

Abaddon finally understood that this bone ball was not a low-intelligence demon, but had been consciously attracting him into a trap.

At the same time, the light of the Holy Shield weakened, Barrow and Bonnie were already covered in wounds, and were about to be enveloped by the surging bone sea. Barrow finally threw out a heavily treasured powerful explosive.

Abaddon had no choice but to quickly collect the remaining coins in the holy light—if they were blown to pieces, the debt wouldn't fall on Li Yue's head.

Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion overturned the bone sea, scattering the three Heroes and the three Van Helsings.

The instant Barrow had this thought, Li Yue was prepared. Using the Van Helsing disguises to shield his true self, he simultaneously ordered the vengeful souls summoned by the Undead Aria to pull Abaddon, Barrow, and Bonnie towards the west side of the explosion...

Li Yue knew that Barrow and Bonnie were not committing suicide, and must have a way to survive the explosion, but he still wanted to slightly interfere with the trajectory of the three being blown away.

The west side was the blood cocoon, and contact with it would definitely be a troublesome matter.

Being assimilated by the blood cocoon would be best—the Heroes deserved this good luck.

Unfortunately, Abaddon, riding Bonnie, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. The female bandit and the merchant were not pulled apart, only Barrow's body was skewed according to Li Yue's thoughts...

The 15th floor of the Abyssal Maw erupted in a strong earthquake.

After the strong light of the explosion, Li Yue's true self was blown away parallel to the blood cocoon, and the three Van Helsing bodies in front were all blown to pieces. Abaddon and Bonnie were blown in the opposite direction, while Barrow was blown to the west, and was 'sucked' in by the blood cocoon as he wished.

Even though the effects of the brain pith walnut potion had not worn off, the blood vessels on Barrow's forehead bulged, instantly turning red, and his entire body became several times thicker.

Magic patterns wrapped around him, and Barrow began to transform into a red-skinned demon.

【Kill... kill...】

Only this one thought remained in Barrow's mind. His body burst with immense power, tearing a large piece of flesh and blood and blood vessels from the blood cocoon, and charged straight towards Abaddon and Bonnie not far away.

Li Yue was happy to see this happen. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also charged along with Barrow, closing the distance with Bonnie and Abaddon again.

【Damn... he's been assimilated...】

Abaddon's expression changed, and he immediately took out the coins of Ideal Township and Galarick, and boarded the bone chariot. Bonnie also understood and gripped Galarick's spine, rapidly reversing.

【Fortunately, there's debt...】

Abaddon wiggled his fingers, and the enraged Barrow also changed direction, heading straight for Li Yue.

Barrow seemed to have completely forgotten that he was a thief, his body constantly collapsing with flesh and blood, ignoring electricity, petrifying rays, and bleeding, and splitting open Li Yue's bone sea to advance vigorously.

"He's not going to make it. While he's not dead, let's buy his life to use for appraisal, okay?" Abaddon felt sorry for the debt he had imposed on Barrow over the years, and didn't want Barrow to die like this, so he asked Bonnie.

"Sure~ Sköllrekk's value is too high, you can't see it without investing a little bit~" Bonnie nodded, "Anyway, I just want money. I don't care who becomes Barrow~"

"Hehe, okay." Abaddon clenched his fist, and Barrow's flesh began to disintegrate.

Li Yue thought this was bad, and hurriedly cut off Barrow's head with a sword, but suddenly heard a heartbeat like a war drum.
