I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“I heard… many fallen humans will sign soul contracts with demons?” Li Yue learned of the existence of soul contracts in his communication with Yingying.

Those are unbreakable agreements.

Since Li Yue wanted to use Huntelaar's abilities, he certainly wouldn't allow him to have any room for free action.

He only had such results now because he occupied a favorable position; in a different situation, it might have been himself desperately begging for his life.

Li Yue was very certain that if he gave Huntelaar a certain degree of freedom, he would definitely betray him.

Perhaps the previous owner of this body had also been betrayed?

So Li Yue felt… there must be an extremely strong constraint.

A soul contract would be good.

“You want me to be your bitch?” Huntelaar certainly knew the weight of a soul contract.

“Don’t agree? Then I can only let you be my ghost?” Li Yue chuckled, feeling very happy.

Without those things stuffed into his body, Huntelaar should be very obedient, right?

Li Yue thought, carrying Huntelaar like garbage towards the surface, preparing to wait for me to wake up and use my eagle eyes to find Cinderami Holy Ash to complete the contract.

“You…” Huntelaar hadn't expected the demon to be so stingy.

Li Yue felt like he had dumped a lot of garbage outside Huntelaar's body.

Mainly, Li Yue also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether he could apply this “self-healing” magic to other living things, so he could be a doctor or something in the future.

Huntelaar knew that the only way to break a soul contract was to advance in rank.

This was the worst insurance Huntelaar could think of—during the fight, Li Yue discovered that controlling Huntelaar's shadow from the inside required resisting the power of his entire person, and it was impossible to invade his body.

Immediately afterward, Li Yue cut open Huntelaar's body, dissecting the whole person, like dissecting a frog.

The moment he opened Huntelaar's body, Li Yue knew what to do.

It is said that I died on the bone tree of Loushan?

“After obtaining the materials to sign the contract… how will you restrain him?” Li Yue knew that no matter how much he squeezed, nothing more would come out, so he began to think about transitional plans after signing the contract.

How exactly did Hunting Country offend this demon who dominated “this war”?

It seemed to have the effect of blocking teleportation-like magic.

The main material was of course Huntelaar's blood, and there was plenty of it on the scene; the auxiliary materials included Cinderami Holy Ash, the horns of Evilhorn Beasts, etc., all of which were on the embargo list of the Seven Towns of Riftgold.

The next step was for Li Yue to replace some of Huntelaar's main bones, such as ribs, collarbone, and shin bones.

Imagining that if I definitely had normal thoughts, then I would immediately have a rib pointing at my heart…

“Your materials… were all taken by him… otherwise… I wouldn’t have died…” Huntelaar breathed with difficulty.

Huntelaar remembered a former companion, reminiscing about the days when Abaddon took care of such things.

“Good, now his blood is gone too, you provide the remaining materials.” Li Yue also knew that there were different contracts for humans or demons of different strengths.

This part of the thread of course housed Yingying, and the shadow demon could move over at any time to control Huntelaar's body.

And coincidentally, there was a gap between the 8th-order brave and the 9th-order brave, which just exceeded the limit of a mid-level soul contract.

But it's much simpler from the outside.

Knowing that Huntelaar was telling the truth, Li Yue was a little troubled.

“Wait… wait a moment…” Huntelaar tried hard to hold his neck, “Holy Ash Town has Holy Ash… the remaining auxiliary materials… like the horns of Evilhorn Beasts… the Chamber of Commerce must have them…”

Just then, the domino that Li Yue picked up in Copper Mine Town lit up.

Perhaps the answer still exists in this memory that everyone has forgotten.

Perhaps even the Sea of Death has its own legends?

“I once controlled Hunting Country… I can get it from the Chamber of Commerce…” Huntelaar made the greatest effort for survival.

This meant that the red-robed skeleton had something to say again.

If the heart is broken and bleeding, it should be hopeless.

As the last line of insurance, Li Yue could also let them swim into Huntelaar's eyeballs or brain from time to time, giving him a little real-time reminder and shock.

Yingying seemed to know a lot about this kind of thing.

Feeling that it was still too unsafe, Li Yue broke off one of his canine teeth, tied it to the inside of the replaced rib with a thread, and then wrapped it with a tentacle.

As for the relationship between the explorer's “map” and the “map” in his head…

“Since it's a soul contract, then I also have a request…” Huntelaar certainly wanted to bargain a little, “The contract needs to stipulate that you help me obtain a ‘unique prey’, then my life is yours…”

An explorer who raised a shadow demon should be very famous throughout the Chaos Continent, right?

“Won't sign? Then you die.” Li Yue curled his lips, and didn't say that he must keep Huntelaar alive.

“That way, open up his body, don't resist anymore, let me study it…” Saying that, Li Yue asked Yingying to pinch Huntelaar's neck, strangling him unconscious.

When needed, the tentacles can be withdrawn, and the magic wolf's tooth will slash at the hunter's heart…

There will be a bard meeting tomorrow night, and preparations must be made before that…

However, even the bard Gamma doesn't know me, so the probability is not high.

This was his only chance.

“This… can only kill him?” Li Yue continued to put pressure on Huntelaar.

“Tonight… you and I will have no sleep.”

If Hunting Country was still there, would I be coerced into signing a contract by a shadow demon and a bone demon?

Finally, Li Yue also stuffed some particles into Huntelaar's body to help control him—these were all tiny dust particles that Li Yue squeezed out of his tentacles, very hard, with a metallic texture.

Li Yue could now completely control his body, and missing a few bones didn't affect his actions, but Huntelaar was different.

What if the previous owner of this body was really an explorer?

If he could advance to become the “Hunting King”, he would have a chance to get rid of the shackles of the contract and regain his freedom.

“Good evening, human.”

This was a very worthwhile attempt.

He intended to wait for Huntelaar to wake up, complete the signing of the soul contract, and then ask carefully.

Huntelaar remembered some things that he had.

“I don’t know…” Huntelaar was about to lose consciousness.

At Li Yue's words, Yingying also quickly wrote down the materials needed for a mid-level soul contract underground.

First, he separated some threads and inserted them into Huntelaar's fascia.

If these things could all work as imagined and control the 8th-order hunter Huntelaar, Li Yue felt that it could also be applied to more people in the future.

But asking wouldn't make things clear—Yingying said that these were things that she knew from birth.

Yingying began to exert force, and Huntelaar's head was instantly twisted from behind to his crotch, blood spurting from his neck.

First, he intended to apply self-healing to maintain the balance of bleeding, ensuring that Huntelaar would not die directly; then Li Yue intended to stuff things inside the body of this 8th-order hunter.

Although he didn't know what these particles were specifically for, whether it was in the dungeon of the Town Hall or when escaping from the church's light prism, they all played a big role.

“What? Doesn't a hunter always carry a lot of materials with him?” Seeing that Huntelaar didn't move, Li Yue asked Yingying to start folding his neck again.

First grasp the lifeline of this 8th-order hunter, and then proceed to the next step.

“I sign… I sign…” Huntelaar no longer struggled.
