I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

At the reception, by the small pavilion, Oogie Boogie's skin was swaying wildly like an inflated balloon man.

That was the "signboard" Li Yue had placed there.

It was also the mascot of the new Colosseum.

Outside the small pavilion, a long line had already formed, with red-skinned demons, magical beasts, skeletons, winged demons, as well as harpy birds, gnolls, dwarves, and oddballs…

They were all different in appearance, but they all exuded a desire for slaughter.

After passing through the pavilion, signing their names, and coming out, their mood seemed to be vented, and they were very satisfied.

Those who hadn't entered were a little anxious, constantly looking up or flying up, observing the gladiator registration queue, pushing forward.

There were even quarrels and fights breaking out on the spot due to the pushing and shoving.

Li Yue didn't expect so many demons to sign up, it was so lively.

It seems that indeed… the days without a Colosseum had suppressed the demons for a long time.

They even forgot that becoming a gladiator meant a high probability of dying.

"Look, everyone's enthusiasm is so high…" Li Yue, wearing Oogie Boogie's leaf skin, sat on a chair not far from the pavilion, legs crossed and bouncing.

Next to Li Yue, Yingying and Dandan also each wore an Oogie Boogie skin. Yingying's was made of iron chainmail, while Dandan wore a skin with eight human legs growing out of its back.

Having seen all kinds of Oogie Boogie skins, the three Demon Sons could wear whatever they wanted.

They also tried not to let the contestants who came to sign up associate the Colosseum with the Library.

"Hey! You! Which one is the Colosseum King!" A red-skinned demon shouted from the line, "Bring a few more registers! One isn't enough!"

The red-skinned demon was probably annoyed by the long queue.

"What did you say?" Li Yue tilted his head and beckoned to the red-skinned demon.

The red-skinned demon stepped out of line and shouted, "I said, bring a few more registers!"

But the response it received was a cannon blast.

The red-skinned demon was blasted into minced meat by an ice bone bullet, and even after resurrecting once, it died in the ice shards.

"This is the Colosseum, not a place for pure-blooded demons to run wild…" Oogie Boogie in the leaf skin stood up, placing his hands on his waist, exerting force, the tentacles inside stretching out the cloth bag.

Li Yue had long disliked this red-skinned demon, and didn't expect it to give himself a chance to show off his muscles.

"I like watching you line up." Li Yue was of course killing the chicken to scare the monkey, showing the other contestants in line the consequences of contradicting the Colosseum King.

The effect was good.

After the cannon blast, some contestants who had originally expected to defeat Oogie Boogie in the opening battle silently left the queue, preparing to take their bone cards and return to where they came from.

They couldn't win, they really couldn't win.

Li Yue didn't stop them either.

Anyway, Galarick had already set up an ambush in the Moonlight Path, and this group of demons who left the Colosseum would become the souls under the Library Guard Captain's club.

As for the money and materials they carried, they would all be used to build the Colosseum.

Moreover, it was also a warm-up for Galarick—this Guard Captain was very much looking forward to the opening battle, and even commissioned Copper Spoon to customize a bone-0 creation armor to facilitate a massacre in the opening battle.

Those who remained in the queue either had confidence in their strength, or were extremely crazy, or had not originally intended to fight the Colosseum King, so they were not frightened by the cannon blast.

Their quality was not bad.

Li Yue felt that the opening battle was increasingly worth looking forward to.

Order quickly returned beside the small pavilion, and the gladiators who had signed the register were guided along the road signs to Brother's Lounge, where they enjoyed the latest chaotic cuisine created by the Library's demon chefs.

These were things that Piggy didn't dare to feed to Mini Mini, the Brain Spirits, so it was a good opportunity to experiment with the effects in the lounge.

Li Yue sat back in his seat, whispering with Yingying and Dandan, commenting on the contestants who came to sign up; at the same time, he was also checking for omissions, using the Demon Illustrated Handbook to analyze and record some new demons.

He hadn't found any curious materials yet.

If he did find any, Li Yue wouldn't mind taking a certain contestant directly to the Bone Chamber's reception room for a "chat."

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Until the appearance of a red-haired female magician brought a ball of fire to the side of the small pavilion.

"Which one of you is the Colosseum King?" the female magician asked the same question as the red-skinned demon.

Hearing this slender voice triggered a distant memory in Li Yue.

At that time, Li Yue was halfway through killing Boshgang, and Bosh triggered the "Attention" effect by detonating the Heart of Purgatory, so Li Yue heard a murmur.

The voice of that murmur was as slender as it is now.

"Looks like it's you~"

Li Yue was slightly stunned, and the female magician's eyes had already drifted to Oogie Boogie in the leaf skin, locating Li Yue, and her voice became a little more lively.

[Do you know her?]

Yingying became alert.

[Let me think… ]

Li Yue carefully searched that memory, wanting to judge whether this female magician in front of him might be hostile.

She was a female magician from the laboratory, and was once a Demon Son; she said that the laboratory and the Library were neighbors, and Bosh's Heart of Purgatory was her heart…

More importantly, when "Attention" took effect, this female magician identified herself as a skeleton, as Scourge…

"Nice to meet you, my name is Winnie." The female magician flicked her red hair, and sparks faintly flashed between the strands.

Immediately afterwards, the female magician made a surprising statement.

"You owe me a heart."

[You explain it to me clearly.]

Yingying made a request.

Previously, this part of the clip took up too little space in Li Yue's memory, and had never been taken to heart, so it was only mentioned in passing for Yingying, and was very vague.

Moreover, when that "Attention" occurred, Yingying was protecting Mini Mini in the closed war training lounge, and just missed it.

[Don't listen to her nonsense… I don't owe her anything… ]

Li Yue then transmitted that brief memory to Yingying.

[She's a bit shameless.]

Yingying chewed for a moment and came to a conclusion.

Who owes her a heart?

Purgatory?

Want to know what Purgatory is?

"You haven't come to find me~" Seeing that the Colosseum King didn't answer, Winnie folded the wall-hanging man who had followed her into a chair and sat opposite Li Yue.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I never agreed to go find you." In front of so many applicants, the Colosseum King's stance must of course be maintained.

"I even went to the Slaughter Cup to watch your battle~" Winnie, sitting on the folding chair, bounced her buttocks, looking a little annoyed, "Right here~"

[Hmm?]

Oogie Boogie in chainmail skin looked at Oogie Boogie in leaf skin.

"Huh?" Li Yue had no idea what Winnie was talking about.

"It was the one where you buried the Jackal family~ Very good~"

Winnie was with Sharphas at the time, sitting in the audience.

"You hid in the bone shell~ Killed the Jackal's brain~ Stole the Scepter of Deception~"

Seeing that Li Yue's reaction wasn't very enthusiastic, Winnie directly started talking to herself.

"A skeleton~ A shadow~ An egg~ Three Demon Sons~ Cooperating with Budibug of the Library~"

Winnie looked around the chainmail bag and the human leg bag.

"Now the three of you are finally independent~"

"Seized the power of the Colosseum~?"

"At that Slaughter Cup~ My teacher even considered~ Whether to go to war with you~"

Winnie's red hair began to burn.
