I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

That was a multi-legged demon, resembling a spider, a house centipede, or a centipede.

Its main body was light and飘飘, and at birth, it felt like walking through the atrium, bringing a rustling sound.

Even though Reid did not have an atrium.

The multi-legged demon climbed over six spatial rifts, installing five legs for itself—the other five summoned otherworldly demons were each embedded at bizarre angles on the demon's side, becoming its legs.

The five demons included cucumber-like strips, egg-like spheres, and giant beasts with all four limbs intact… but no matter their shape, they all became legs for the multi-legged demon at this moment.

The multi-legged demon spread them out horizontally and vertically, all the legs wriggling in distorted shapes, rustling as they crawled toward the Demon Prince and Arka.

Clearly, it was a difficult creature to communicate with.

【Analyzing… 4%…】

Judging by the analysis speed, it must be a high-level demon without a doubt.

【Let him handle it.】

Although literate, the Short-Legged Demon seemed to feel fear and frustration, the amplitude of its eight legs becoming even weaker.

“You just signed wrong…” Arka thought, whether it's an early explosion or a late one, it's an explosion after signing the wrong contract. Isn't that a waste of materials?

But strangely, each fragment was missing a hair.

Anyway, Arka still needed time to analyze, to determine whether the material drops from the Short-Legged Demon and its legs were worthless.

Arka was also distracted, making a domino phone call to the Captain of the Guard, instead focusing on Reid's body.

But the second before, Arka suddenly realized that 9905 was not dead.

【Analyzing… 39%…】

Shadow tactfully avoided the shadow of the multi-legged demon, and set up a bone-guided cannon on the bone wall.

Reid observed for a moment and came to a conclusion, telepathically communicating with Shadow.

If the analysis always involves the giant beast acting, Reid doesn't mind dragging it out a little longer, analyzing the giant beast together.

“Come on! Come and take my life…”

Just as Arka wanted to take a look at the detailed description of the new demon numbered 9905, its body suddenly exploded.

Just like that?

“Is he saying I’m still here?” Arka came back to his senses, approached the Short-Legged Demon’s feet, pointing at the giant beast with a frozen smile.

The Short-Legged Demon became a registered demon of the arena.

Almost thanked the giant beast to death.

“That, he should be asking the Captain of the Guard, not you.” Shadow had no time to appreciate Galarick’s mood.

【Keep acting with me, act as long as you want…】

Apart from the cucumber-like strip and Reid, the other things under the Short-Legged Demon's legs were scattered, and their original appearance was no longer visible.

The vampire is acting.

“Here, they are all here.” Shadow pointed at the demon's eight legs in turn.

Just as the analysis completion prompt popped up, Arka hurriedly glanced at it, saw no material drops, and then slashed open the Short-Legged Demon's stomach with a sword, imprinting an abstract painting on the soul contract.

Shadow didn't know whether to expose him or not.

Arka also diverted a large amount of attention, and sure enough, the giant beast's analysis progress was still there, the vampire still existed on the Short-Legged Demon.

The giant beast is not acting.

Otherwise, who knows which day MiniMini or the Brain Spirit might also become legs.

“Makes sense.” Arka nodded, walked around the Short-Legged Demon, completely unable to tell its origin.

Also unable to tell the origin of its legs.

At this time, when Arka looked at the detailed description of 9905 again, he understood what had just happened.

“Maybe a good mount?” While waiting for the analysis, Arka pointed to the main body's spine of the Short-Legged Demon, drawing some bones from the bone wall, piecing together a likeness of Galarick.

“Your understanding is flawed, gladiators don't necessarily have to have a self, as long as they can fight, as long as they can evoke the desire for killing.” Shadow helped Reid organize his thoughts.

Looking at it now, maybe killing it with a sword is cleaner.

“Then what do you think… what’s wrong with him? Why isn’t he fighting back?” Arka didn't understand Reid's logic.

“It's not enough…” The giant beast was somewhat dissatisfied that the Short-Legged Demon had not taken over itself.

“He is a demon.” Shadow spread his hands, “Not all demons think with their brains like you do.”

“What you said makes sense, raising some wild beasts and monsters is originally part of the arena's job.” Arka remembered the lions and tigers that were raised in the arena in his previous life.

“Does it seem too useless as a gladiator?” The analysis progress of the Short-Legged Demon was more than halfway done, Arka began to evaluate whether to recruit it as a gladiator, or kill it with a sword.

【He must be listening to us.】

Arka's feet were embedded on the side of the multi-legged demon, his hair swaying in the air, like a moving mop.

Anyway, the analysis was not finished, Arka was not in a hurry to tear apart the Short-Legged Demon.

Even after taking down the Hunting Kingdom, the collection of the library was very rich, but it couldn't withstand such waste…

Including the cucumber-like strip and Reid, they were all completely smashed.

With the strength of the giant beast, it was absolutely impossible to let a low-level demon-level centipede be its lackey.

However, after experiencing everything with Oogie Boogie, Reid still had a strong aversion to insect-shaped demons.

“I’m helping you.” The giant beast smiled, firing continuously, blasting the flesh into even more fragments.

Reid did not expect that the giant beast with the full atmosphere would become the leg of an otherworldly demon just like that, and was somewhat lost for a while.

Did Galarick perhaps want to ride it?

Then Arka became another leg of the multi-legged demon—a red leg.

Arka certainly knew how to sign the contract, but the Short-Legged Demon was about to complete the analysis, so he dragged on the time.

“Good 嘞…” Reid slowly modified the content of the contract, also waiting for the completion prompt of the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

Or rather, that was a leg.

Basically equivalent to a contract of selling oneself to the King of the Arena.

The strip, the sphere, Reid, and the giant beast were all twitching non-stop, which was a sign that the Short-Legged Demon was struggling hard, trying to escape from the control of the shadow.

Reid imagined a monster that could absorb other gladiators into its legs, putting it in the arena would indeed make people want to kill it.

But it exists in the form of “plural”.

“Then sign it?” Reid drew out the soul contract of the high-level demon, as if deciding which leg of the Short-Legged Demon he should put the footprint on later.

Red and white bared their fangs and claws for a while, stirring the scattered pieces of meat and legs into the air.

The blood and clear shadow broke through its exoskeleton from the feet up, devouring the other two legs, like a boiling fire.

【Then what should we do?】

Reid retreated with Shadow, firstly to observe Arka's fighting style, and secondly to avoid directly using the Staff of Deception, exposing the biggest trump card.

【Analyzing… 16%…】

“Body, blood, all of it.” Shadow pointed to the bone sword in Arka's hand.

So Shadow fixed the Short-Legged Demon in mid-air, allowing Arka to think fully.

Faced with the incoming multi-legged demon, Arka's choice was actually to open his arms?

But Nolamorel's control over the shadows far exceeded Reid's, the Short-Legged Demon could not move.

Each fragment became a leg.

The content of the new contract would become the contract template for the gladiator, Arka certainly had to carefully consider the wording…
