I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

【Teleportation Failed?】

Eggshell fragments stuck to Abaddon's body, disrupting the teleportation magic.

Amidst the thick smoke, Abaddon hadn't even seen the fragments, let alone thought of creating some distance between them and his skin to activate the teleportation.

Right now, Abaddon just wanted to get away from this smoke and sea of bones as quickly as possible.

【Which way to go… the trade route… I still have the trade route…】

Hearing Li Yue's question, Abaddon recalled the scene in the Maw of the Abyss and decisively used his remaining wealth to pave a trade route.

【The trading volume of Loess Mountain is already high enough. As long as the trade route exists, I can come back anytime…】

【The starting point of the trade route is in the Demon King's castle…】

Abaddon located the trade route, and Li Yue immediately activated the Staff of Deception to create the final lie.

“The starting point of the trade route is in the Demon King's castle, the library, the Bone Chamber reception hall.”

Abaddon, clutching the money bag containing all his possessions, shrunk into a coin under the protection of a multicolored shield, disappearing with a “ding.”

Li Yue didn't chase after him, but instead began to crush the remaining heroes in the sea of bones who were parasitized by the parasitic threads.

They were useless now. Since they were Abaddon's capital, they should be destroyed on the spot.

As for what Abaddon would encounter in the Bone Chamber reception hall… Li Yue had already prepared everything.

After fighting him head-on for a while, Li Yue was even more convinced that Tom plus the Brain Spirits were enough to surround and kill this Cave Merchant in the Bone Chamber reception hall.

It was safer for him to block the other side of the trade route and slaughter all of Abaddon's capital.

Thinking this, Li Yue held up the remaining eggshell fragments, shaped them into a human figure where Abaddon had disappeared, then curled them into a bone ball, and climbed step by step out of the completely collapsed mountain.

Fire rain poured from the sky, and the thick smoke on the ground showed no sign of dissipating. Li Yue climbed upward, sensing the corpses crushed into the lava, the minced meat smashed by fireballs, the hunters choked to death on the treetops, the dried corpses hanging on the binding threads…

And a bear, Forest Bear.

Forest Bear was biting a thief's body, and the lava overflowed, shaping it into a twisted stone pillar, interpreting the shape of hatred.

Ascending into the sky and drifting away, Li Yue finally saw the full view of Loess Mountain at this moment.

A deformed giant bone tree stood upright on the earth, covered with fire and earth as its crown, the crown hung full of corpses, and the roots buried countless treasures of the Hunter Kingdom.

The treasures of the past.

The birdcage outside the mountain had also become part of the bone tree, covered with blood and smoke, imprinting the shape of the bone tree in the clouds.

Looking at it from a distance with the Eye of Distortion, it looked like a towering mushroom.

“Not bad…” Li Yue saw a sense of artistry, musing that the wonders of nature were indeed masterful.

Ignoring the human carriages and horses retreating at the foot of the mountain, Li Yue opened the bone ball, holding the three coins of Heart of Valor, Utopia, and Demon Illustrated Handbook in his tentacles, watching quietly.

The heroes' magic would no longer exist after their death. Li Yue didn't know how to free them from the coin form, so he waited quietly for Abaddon's death.

At the same time, lightning and thunder flashed in the Bone Chamber reception hall, and chaos reigned.

Abaddon was so electrocuted that his hair stood on end, his body was bruised and charred, and he bumped around the bone walls like a headless fly.

His hands were empty, and the money bag was long gone—when he arrived at the Bone Chamber reception hall through the trade route, Abaddon was wondering where this was when a Brain Spirit suddenly appeared in the air and snatched the money bag without warning.

It was Boodybooger, the Lord of Authority of the Library.

Boodybooger ran away with the money bag, of course, owing Abaddon a huge debt.

But when Abaddon prepared to buy Boodybooger, he found that this so-called huge debt could not shake the authority of the Library at all.

Not even enough to buy the Soul Altar.

This was the first time since Abaddon embarked on the path of a merchant that he felt impoverished.

Then came the petrifying rays and lightning and thunder. He felt as if he had strayed into the dance floor of the House of Pleasures.

A group of Brain Spirits controlled the eggshell fragments that Li Yue had left here, ensuring even distribution, taking care of every gap, and not giving Abaddon a chance to teleport.

Abaddon's capital and shields were rapidly consumed, and the hero helpers he summoned were quickly beaten into charred corpses or gravel.

Was this a trap set for him?

From Loess Mountain to the Demon King's castle… was he completely deceived?

Right now, Abaddon only sought not to die, so he braced his shield and threw everything he had saved in his life into the room.

But another group of Brain Spirits connected their brains to the pituitary glands in the bone walls, each controlling several electric towers, precisely distributing the debt caused by the damage to Abaddon.

【A-row Eye of Distortion firing complete, retreat to reload, B-row take over…】

【14, if you shock him again, you'll stop for two minutes… 16, give one of your electric towers to 17, let it shock him a few more times, it doesn't owe enough yet…】

In the workshop, Tom stared at the monitor, his brain connected to the pituitary gland network, quickly calculating the debts of each Brain Spirit, and instructing them to contribute their respective damage.

At this time, Abaddon could no longer notice the steadily increasing Brain Spirit debt.

He completely forgot about the other trade routes, like a gambler watching his life's investment plummet, his mind blank.

This was an experience he had never had since embarking on the path of a merchant.

【Should we continue to deceive him? The Library's magic power is almost gone…】

In the workshop, Boodybooger floated beside Tom, his brain grooves clamped with the money bag, his brain...

“The starting point of the trade route is in the Library… the end point is in Loess Mountain…”

“Keep deceiving him, this is very important.” The slave scholar ruthlessly rejected the Brain Spirit Lord's request, “If the magic power is gone, use your magic power to replenish it, use the magic power of all the Brain Spirits to replenish it.”

“You can continue to live after you die, but it's not easy for a merchant to die if he survives.”

Although Boodybooger knew this magic that absorbed the magic power of other Brain Spirits, he had never used it since being killed by Li Yue.

“Are you scared?” Tom's brain was connected to all the Brain Spirits through the pituitary gland, and he could sense Boodybooger's emotions.

“If you're scared, go infuse magic stones. In short, this merchant must die here.” Tom opened the warehouse and arranged for the Brain Spirits to absorb magic stones in batches.

“Is the magic power not enough? We have a way!” Lulu and Feifei, two sweet potato brains, also squeezed in front of the Eye of Distortion, “Big Pi has a soup that can temporarily increase magic power, we'll go call him to make it now!”

After saying that, the two little sweet potatoes stretched out their arms, grabbing the bone spurs on the wall like apes, and quickly swung to the kitchen.

“By the way, have you picked out all the hero and magic coins that I asked you to pick out?” Tom urged Boodybooger, “Once you've picked them out, quickly put them on the conveyor belt…”

Boodybooger unexpectedly snatched the money bag from Abaddon's hand. Of course, the treasures and materials inside had to be kept, but it was not safe to put the coins related to heroes and magic in the workshop, so Tom decided to send these coins to the Bone Chamber reception hall for destruction together after Abaddon died.

If Abaddon died and these coins remained in a stable state, he could consider how to turn them back.

“I've picked them out and put them on the conveyor belt, but… does Galalerek count?” Boodybooger put the hero and magic coins into a small bag and placed it on the conveyor belt, leaving Galalerek's coin beside him.

“Put it here, maybe we need to save him.” Tom prepared a lot of herbs and replacement self-healing bones, all in the shape of Galalerek, “His subordinates… are all waiting for him to return to the team.”

At this moment, three hundred skeleton warriors lined up in the Bloody Corridor, warming up the dance steps for the rave later.

The entire Library was mobilized, each performing their duties.

Even the old Evil Horned Beast joined the battle, leading his harem of Evil Horned Beasts to exercise continuously, urging the Thunder Pool and the King's Electric Horn to supply power to the Bone Chamber reception hall.

Finally, when the shield shattered, Abaddon's charred arm no longer turned out tender flesh, and his petrified legs no longer faded…

His “capital” was exhausted, leaving only his life.

The petrified grayish-white extended upward from his thighs, gradually covering all the charred flesh. Abaddon's legs fell into the bone pile, and his only remaining hand pinched the air, as if shaking a non-existent money bag.

“Buy! Hahaha! Buy! Buy it all…”

Abaddon's frantic expression was frozen, eventually becoming a sculpture in the Bone Chamber reception hall.

“Smash it.” With Tom's order, dozens of Soul Strikes hit it, turning the sculpture into dust.

The debts between the Library and Li Yue were settled.

Clatter, clatter, clatter…

The coins in Boodybooger's brain grooves fell to the ground, making a pleasant “clink, clink” sound, and then quickly turned into materials, treasures, and Galalerek.

At the same time, the Bone Chamber reception hall was filled with colorful elements flying around—various devastating magics erupted, and the heroes who had just returned to the world vanished into thin air.

Three hundred skeleton warriors filed in and began to rave; Tom selected treasures and materials, and put Abaddon's treasures, that is, the spoils of war, into the warehouse one by one.
