I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“Squeak…”

As Tom was making eye contact and nodding with the demon scholar in the oil painting outside the door, the iron door was pulled open, and a pitch-black shadow of Tom stood in the doorway, waving his hand, inviting Tom to enter.

As soon as Tom took a step, he was pushed by the shadow waves on the ground and piled up next to the Soul Altar.

There, 7 faceless monsters were besieging a Van Helsing, banging and hitting Van Helsing's body.

“Not enough, not enough!” Van Helsing shouted, hitting the faceless monster's fist with his face, his nose bleeding, a satisfied smile on his face.

The egg on the side seemed a little soft, like jelly spread beside the altar, bouncing and rolling.

The shadow facing Tom was not human-shaped, but a miniature library, with people inside as small as insects, crawling around.

In places beyond sight, there were even conveyor belts, constantly transporting materials from the miniature walls to the workshops below.

The workshop was filled with matchstick-sized cannons and dust-like parts, and several small insects were working hard to assemble them.

“You're finally here.” When an insect on the upper level of the miniature library encountered a lump of sludge, the shadow in front of Tom transformed into a large lizard, sitting on the Shadow Throne with its butt, generously offering Tom a seat.

Obviously, just like the Forbidden Forest lacked taboos, the curse of the Abyssal Maw was even more violent.

“First of all, the Abyssal Maw's recent state is very stable. Your suggestion to the master is to go outside…”

“Then, the Law of Retribution.”

“If you want to use Hellfire, it's separate from the Law of Retribution.” Li Yue stated the conclusion first, “It requires an absolutely neutral soul as a carrier, a soul without a trace of obsession.”

Hearing Li Yue's thoughts, Tom quickly retracted his hand that was about to touch the cat's head.

“You need a match?” Tom understood.

“Yes, a match, a match without emotion.” Li Yue read Qu Qun's doubts, “Hellfire is very sensitive, it must be that the match has no tendency, which will also affect the emotions of Hellfire, and feedback to the person holding the match.”

Bite your shadow's butt… putting the habits of the next life in Demon King City… some are inappropriate.

“Starved to death?” Based on experience, scholar Li Yue had a guess.

“Without an absolutely neutral soul, lighting it like a match, then what?”

“Very good, then this is Hellfire.” Li Yue said, throwing the test tube to the ground. A cat quietly squatted in front of the three Demon Princes, staring coldly.

The test tube was unsealed, but the liquid flowing inside seemed unaffected by gravity. No matter how it was turned, it always stayed obediently in the test tube, looking very comfortable.

【While you are observing Hellfire, Hellfire is also observing you.】

Now that Van Helsing is likely hiding in the Abyssal Maw, there is no need to go there head-on.

“That's it?” Qu Qun was stunned.

Moreover, Yingying no longer regarded the Abyssal Maw as home, the library was.

The severed hand fanned the flame, then turned into a fly connected to the shadow on the ground, flying around the flame wretchedly.

“Yes, just like that, just like that.” Li Yue discarded the simple magical conditions and calculations in his mind, and directly gave the answer.

Tom sat down and found the sofa soft.

“This is the continental overlord of another world.” Tom's dragon butt was not patted, and he happily explained, “Or rather… the overlord of a certain period, but was exterminated.”

These days, Tom often experienced the feeling of becoming a dinosaur, but in Li Yue's eyes, it was a big lizard.

“This is a cloth bag, or a Gluttonous Fly…” Tom stretched out his palm, broke it, and threw it into the air.

“You don't need to tell me the principle, I don't understand…” The shadow lizard was certainly not Tom.

“Yes, I'm here.” Li Yue saluted first, then took out a test tube from his arms.

Before Tom could feel depressed, the cat on the ground suddenly jumped up and pounced on the fly in the air, launching a good series of attacks.

These days, when exchanging information with the Forest Keeper, the Forest Keeper said that silverfish had brought news that the Abyssal Maw had completely become a scorching hell, and basically all non-fire-friendly demons had died.

“What is this?” As a scholar, Qu Qun was certainly interested in this novel lizard, and also realized that Tom was showing off to himself.

“Okay, I understand, an absolutely neutral soul.” Tom had a headache. For a moment, all he could think of were those who were close to the library, or close to the Forbidden Forest, or had a feud with the Colosseum…

“Okay, imagine this is an absolutely neutral match.” Tom raised his finger and used his shadow to light a small flame, then broke it off and stuck it on the ground.

The three Demon Princes were all listening attentively.

“Lighting Hellfire on this absolutely neutral soul is the first step of preparation.” As a scholar, Li Yue still felt that this explanation was a bit lacking, so he added some descriptions, “It's like a piece of firewood, if you want to burn someone with Hellfire, you can't possibly ignite your own palm and then slap it down…”

In other words, Qu Qun was still clueless about Van Helsing's whereabouts.

“Then there's no way to demonstrate, you can only rely on your own understanding.” Li Yue said with his hands folded.

Yingying was noncommittal about Qu Qun's suggestion—although she had agreed with Qu Qun to go to the Abyssal Maw to retrieve Hellfire before the expedition, it was only because she was afraid that Tom would die there alone.

My lord, there are more chapters in front of this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!

“Or like this?”

The jelly-like egg hardened again, rolled to Qu Qun's feet, and the particles supported it to the same height; the people fighting like ping-pong balls also tore off their skins and returned to a soft, glutinous brain, floating next to the Shadow Throne.

Undead?

This was handmade by Lulu and Feifei, and was used to serve the deceased Scourge when everything started.

“At that time, you only need to let this match be stained with some of Qu Qun Biji's kindness, and cause a certain degree of negative interference to this match, and it will trigger the retribution of Hellfire.” Li Yue said in one breath.

【Uncontrollable things will happen.】

“Well, I know.” Tom waved his hand, signaling Li Yue to continue.

Then find something dead?

“Also.” Recently, there were no flies in the Forbidden Forest, and the library's telescope had not observed any similar existence.

“Did you find the flies or cloth bag you wanted?”

【Please pay attention to your words and deeds… Hellfire has a strange temper… Although it can't hear you now, it is likely to have a worse impression of you.】

“Ah… I see.” Tom stopped caring and asked about the next step.

“Tell me, how do you get Hellfire?” Tom waved his big hand behind him, wagged his tail, and asked, opening his big mouth.

“Perhaps… you still don't understand.” Li Yue added, “Absolutely neutral, preferably with no connection to Demon King City or Chaos Continent…”

“Must it be alive?” Tom took out his bone sword.

“Just like that?”

“Yes, Hellfire is an intervention at the soul level, it must be a living soul.” Li Yue blocked this path.

“Almost.” Tom showed off enough and transformed into a ball of shadow flame, reminding Li Yue to get down to business.

Of course, I have to ask.
