I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#469 - The face behind the woman

The moment the cannon fire erupted, Gambel retrieved his chains, tightly wrapping them around himself.

Amidst the artillery barrage, many slaves tried to escape.

But amidst the overwhelming explosions and immense force, the slaves' movements were merely ripples.

As the slaves perished, their corpses, blood, and remnants transformed into streams of metallic shards, making the chains around Gambel even thicker.

Simultaneously, O'Keeffe's body became even more complete.

Under the influence of the faith source, their thirst for slaughter and their greed became nourishment for O'Keeffe, a bargaining chip to suppress the hellfire.

This was the kind of battle situation O'Keeffe desired.

If Li Yue hadn't wielded the Bone Sword and the Bone Sorcerer hadn't continuously cast spells, snatching a batch of souls to revive as skeletons, O'Keeffe would have been even more satisfied at that moment.

On the other side, the woman and the Light Giant who were hit by the artillery fire were equally disheveled.

Points of light shattered everywhere, and the woman hadn't even swallowed Tyr before being struck heavily, and her mood didn't seem to be good.

When the points of light shattered, the scattered souls were also drawn towards the sky by the twin swords.

The great serpent drilled into the giant python along the chain, bringing a hellish coldness; the connection between the chain and Bai Hongjing's head quickly turned red, spreading upwards.

"Does he know what you're thinking?" Gambel flipped over and said to Bai Hong.

When she swallowed the Light Giant, she would remove the impurities of the Nightless Sect and become the Holy Light walking in the world.

"You not only know what he's thinking, but you also know what he's going to do." The shadow looked up, and the white lake underground surged.

[The target is not here, it's O'Keeffe's head.]

Bai Hongjing's eye sockets burst open, scattering small streams of metallic shards, one stream going to the sky, and one being pulled by the Bone Sorcerer.

At the same time, its body was still shrinking, and souls were still overflowing from under the chains, running into Gambel's body.

Destroying a sacred object naturally requires a sacred object.

Bell quickly shared the information he obtained with Shadow.

The chains could be dissolved.

[His thinking is correct.]

Soon, all the slaves died, and O'Keeffe merged with the chains, becoming a giant python with a human head and a chain body.

The King of the Arena looked down on everything, and the cloth bag hand touched Li Yue's sword hilt, already somewhat impatient to enter the arena.

Li Yue suddenly realized that the woman's body was composed of the souls of the Nightless Sect believers.

The giant python lost its head, leaving only some instinctive wriggling; the great serpent quickly advanced under the guidance of the shadow, quickly melting the thick chains into a pile of hot iron.

[Can your eight Sons of the Devil… become the King of the Arena's final opponent?]

[Shadow's body is not bad… Skeletons are also okay, perhaps in the future we can seize the authority of the Light Tomb… ]

Unfortunately, there were no decent corpses underground, only minced meat, so they couldn't be directly revived, and could only be pulled in forcibly.

[I'm sure to win… ]

But Bai Hongjing couldn't hear it anymore.

Gambel hung his body under Li Yue's emblem, swinging like a child on a swing.

Having fought to this point, Bell didn't need to hide anything—denying Gambel any chance of winning was the most important thing, so he had to take back that small batch of chips.

[O'Keeffe's sacred object… the Scribe's relic… how wonderful… ]

Then Bell took all the skeletons and constructs back into the Shadow Space.

Bell hadn't considered giving everyone a dream, but when using the Nightmare Eye against the big wolf, he discovered that the ones in the arena either had too high authority or were too simply constructed…

Even if Bao'er himself came, he probably wouldn't be able to put everyone into a dream at once.

[It seems we need to break this chain first… ]

"O'Keeffe! Rewrite everything!"

While Bai Hong was trying to further observe Li Yue, a pure holy light suddenly shot out from the woman's impurity-filled chest.

Bai Hongjing's eyes were constantly revolving around the eight Sons of the Devil, bringing kindness, hatred, and lewd expectations.

Lamont's Holy Whip's tail was swung into a propeller, stirring up the chain that had been burned red.

[Biting your fly butt… could it be a dream? I just saw the Nightmare Eye… ]

[Can it read minds?]

Each round of artillery fire was not only attacking the Nightless Sect, but also making O'Keeffe stronger.

[Then we… Bone Sword… ]

Gambel checked the ritual, confirming that everything happening now was not a dream, and then relaxed.

At this point, the Big Wolf, the Skeleton, and O'Keeffe were all destroyed by the Shadow Legion.

Shadow thought for a moment, but couldn't find a very good solution.

She vented her anger on the Light Giant, turning her back, like an animal protecting its food, trying to destroy Tyr.

Gambel couldn't change the outcome of the final ritual, so he could only place his expectations on the last remaining woman and the Light Giant.

[Slaughter… death… become me… become my new body… ]

"Damn Son of the Devil, I'm so curious about you!"

Bai Hong didn't threaten Gambel, but it sounded like a threat.

Bell pulled out Lamont's Holy Whip, the whip head connected to Shadow's particle drill, and like a great serpent, inserted it into Bai Hongjing's eye socket.

[My demon cocoon… is only half finished… can only rely on the Nightless Sect? Is it not… can't think of Bai Hong… ]

"When you come down, you'll know that you don't have a single chance."

Immediately afterwards, O'Keeffe's mask burst open.

[It has so many skeletons… as long as I absorb these thirsts for slaughter… it's enough for me to turn the tables… ]

"Have you killed them all? Is it our turn?" In the holy light, Tyr's face grew on the woman's back, asking Bell.

Gambel's face darkened.

Furthermore, this is the final ritual of the Arena, and relying solely on the Nightmare Eye, it's impossible to intervene from the bottom level.

[After killing them… who should I take as a body, who should I take as Beelzebub?]

He wasn't afraid of Gambel cheating, only afraid of not understanding the principle.

He used O'Keeffe's family's sacred object, and also the relics of a certain demon scribe, constantly rewriting the number of souls brought to the Arena, endlessly providing souls for Bai Hongjing.

Gambel's leaked thoughts made Bai Hong understand that the Gambling Demon was still cheating.

Gambel realized the demise of the chains, wanting to seize the last bit of profit before it was completely destroyed.

Today's Thorns of Decay were used to kill Tilly, and there was no balance left to give the chains another go.

[My demon cocoon… buzz… the flies are burning… the soul is not full… but I can only rely on Li Yue… is it not… can't think of Bai Hong… ]

Gambel even became cautious when thinking.

Bell was just stating a fact—Hunteral, with a 73% action prediction success rate, had no chance in Bell's bone group, and Gambel, with 79%, would only be more miserable.

This was also the reason why Bai Hong had always focused his attention on Gambel—no matter what the wasteland was like, the final opponent was always the King of the Arena.

Li Yue was just an emblem, but it seemed to also be a treasure of the Arena, otherwise Gambel wouldn't place his last hope on them…

[Rewrite, rewrite… fill me… ]

So as not to be used by the Gambling Demon.

O'Keeffe's movements were not greatly affected, shaking his head trying to break free, but he heard a harsh metallic sound coming from his brain.

That was the sound of the drill breaking through the chains and piercing in.

Bell also noticed Bai Hong hanging in the sky.

[It doesn't matter, even if they all die, leaving only you and the Son of the Devil… ]
