I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Among the monsters, some were humanoid, dressed in hunter's gear and knight's armor, in various shapes and colors.

Some were in the shape of red-skinned demons, skeletons, and shadow demons.

Of course, there were also bizarre shapes like bone seas, tentacle monsters, balls of thread, shadow lakes, and granules.

In reality, Lekis was the only actual gladiator; the rest were just skins that Li Read used to fill the ranks, hand-sewn by Mini and Minnie.

So their shapes were crooked and twisted, they walked sideways, and occasionally a head or limb would fall off, only to be reattached...…

The little guys inside were supporting the skins, walking, and brandishing their claws, so some small mistakes were inevitable.

“Pureblood demon!”

“Human!”

“What is that bug? Could it still be Oogie Boogie, just with a different skin?”

The vegetable skeletons discussed among themselves, the skull skeleton looking at the ribcage skeleton, even more uncertain about the identity of the King of the Arena.

The ribcage skeleton shook its head, also confused.

After all, it was old.

“New Arena, we sincerely welcome your arrival.” Li Read gave a rough demonstration of the gladiators' lineup, then quickly dismissed them.

Some of the little guys inside the skins were laughing so hard they could barely stand.

“Tickets, tickets!” the vegetable skeletons cackled.

After seeing the White Bone Dragon, they no longer had the desire to participate in the Slaughter Cup, simply wanting to sit in the stands.

“So next—I believe some viewers are also curious—how exactly—can one watch this intense competition?” The bag demon stretched out his voice.

The vegetable skeletons' hip bones were almost up to their throats, thinking the new King of the Arena was also a demon who liked to create suspense.

But in reality, Li Read was just giving the centipede, bone dragon, and Mini and Minnie time to strike a pose.

“Just like you're watching me now, enjoy the Slaughter Cup to your heart's content—”

Along with the large characters displayed on the bone tablet, the camera angle quickly changed, zoomed out, and then constantly switched.

There was a panoramic view of the arena—beneath the giant birdcage was a vast wasteland, and then a stand with one hundred and fifty individual seats came into view.

In the panoramic view, the wasteland was divided into several areas, and the gladiators who had just appeared on camera each formed teams, freezing in place and performing a group battle scene.

There was a low-angle shot of the arena—rotating and circling, continuously showing the infinite movement lines on the wasteland.

Following these movement lines, the centipede and the skeleton, the bone dragon and the pureblood demon, the shadow demon and the hero… every battle did not escape the viewers' sight, an immersive viewing experience from beginning to end.

There were close-ups targeting fixed areas—in the rapid camera switching, the demons followed the changing perspective, quickly seeing every corner of the wasteland.

The details of each battle were also magnified in close-up, without the slightest omission.

The vegetable skeletons were deeply shocked.

Just by holding this bone token, one could experience the Slaughter Cup in such an immersive way?

The key is… it's free?

The King of the Arena is not a demon, he's practically an angel…

After the camera demonstration, the brain spirits in the broadcasting room had some convulsions—these brain spirits had all been trained by Li Read and were also planning the camera angles according to Li Read's arrangements.

After all, it was the first time, and it consumed a considerable amount of brainpower.

On the other hand, Xin Xin was still eating magic stones, not seeming to struggle much.

“I believe everyone has now seen the new arena.” The camera refocused on the bag demon in front of the bone tablet.

The new King of the Arena opened his arms, and the bone tablet displayed a small pavilion for the reception and a register inside the pavilion.

“Come and sign up!”

“Tomorrow night at Red Hour! Opening battle! I'll be waiting for you!”

The screen froze on the bag demon with his arms outstretched, and the huge bilingual text behind him, the broadcast ended.

The vegetable skeletons were still immersed in everything they had just seen, unable to extricate themselves.

“Did I just see the stands?” The skull skeleton scratched its head, expressing confusion.

“Obviously, those stands are for the big shots, don't even think about it.” The ribcage skeleton's understanding was clear, but it also kept the bone token and eyeball close to its body like treasures.

This did not provoke dissatisfaction from the other vegetable skeletons.

This was one of the few forms of entertainment in their lonely vegetable patch life.

“How was it?” Li Read dispelled Oogie Boogie's illusion, then took off a layer of the bag and tentacle skin, picking up the bone tablet to watch the replay.

“Very good, I really want to come and kill you.” Shadow Shadow had been watching from the shadows, admitting that the effect of the first broadcast was good.

“Are you going to participate? Then we have to participate too?” Egg Egg naturally wanted to join in on the fun.

“What am I going to participate in? It's participating.” Li Read pointed to the bag on the ground, “Anyway, anyone can wear it.”

Egg Egg was stunned, not expecting it could be played like this.

“We need to be prepared, there might be powerful demons coming to sign up.” Shadow Shadow reminded Li Read.

“Yeah, with the three of us guarding, and it's our territory, as long as it's not a Demon King or a demon like Memfis coming, it shouldn't be a big problem…” Li Read had of course considered this issue.

If it weren't for the fact that the first month was almost over, and the arena needed to test the production of Slaughter Desire, Li Read wouldn't have wanted to start the opening battle so hastily.

“And I've already contacted Arka, his bone token has reacted.” Li Read certainly also hoped that this Demon King-level vampire would be present when the opening battle began.

But Li Read didn't really want him to find the “person” who could kill him in the arena.

Because that would mean Li Read would need to immediately unload the burden and run away with the entire Library.

Although the possibility was slim, it wasn't impossible.

After all, it was just a city-wide broadcast.

“It's going to be busy next.” Li Read finally got through a relatively peaceful month, and was a little uneasy when he thought that the arena was about to be put into use.

Not to mention the far future, at least he had to guard the reception area now to see the demons' registration situation.

If there were any difficult demons to deal with, they could be killed directly.

That was the good thing about the unpublicized arena.

He also looked forward to valuable magical creatures coming from afar to deliver some fresh materials.

Indeed, the bone tokens were scattered throughout Demon King City, and the area of spread was not limited to the Underground City, Vegetable Patch, Labyrinthine Corridor, and Forbidden Forest.

In a laboratory, a red-haired female mage was lying on the table, her chin resting on the surface, her eyes fixed on the aberration eye on the bone token, as if seeing the arena again through it.

“This bone is the bone from back then, and it's also the bone from outside… right?” The red-haired female mage's eyes wandered to the bone token.

On the wall beside her table, a meticulously dissected human was hanging.

His head and limbs were separated, hanging on the five corners of the wall, the body in the center was dissected very finely, the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys were all nailed to the wall according to their respective positions, connected by blood vessels and intestines.

Hearing the female mage's question, his heart was pounding.

“It's him…” The wall-hanging man made a dry,瘪 sound.

“He still owes me a heart, now that he's the King of the Arena, he can pay it back, right?”

The female mage was Winnie, who had once sat in the stands of the Slaughter Cup with Xerfas.

At that time, Oogie Boogie was still there, and Li Read had stood up all the demons.

Now, Xerfas was in seclusion studying the source of faith, and in the laboratory of Myriad Aspects, only Winnie waited alone.

“I've decided, I'm going to participate in the opening battle of the Slaughter Cup~” The female mage waved her hand, and the magic potions in the medicine cabinet flew into her bag one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the candlelight in the laboratory drilled into Winnie's body, wrapping around her red hair.

“Pack yourself up, let's go together…” Winnie darted out of the room.

Under the moonlight, the wall-hanging man also hurriedly assembled his body on the wall, then took a human skin from the hanger and chased after her, tucked under his arm.
