I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"Deadly Traps" and "Magic Armor Refinement." Even now, when Li Yue recalled reading these two books via Google Search, a slight stinging sensation would arise in his mind. Either the author had imbued them with too much resentment when writing, or they were attached to too many wronged souls, causing the low-level mind demons to explode upon a mere mental touch...

However, after the enhancement from the Supreme Magic Stone, Li Yue's mental power had far surpassed other mind demons. The blessing of "Absorption" seemed to have opened a gap, allowing Li Yue to glimpse knowledge beyond his current capabilities.

However, this also served as a reminder to Li Yue—to be more careful when "eating" books in the future, or he might die without even knowing how.

With that thought, Li Yue re-examined the two books, discovering that "Deadly Traps" recorded hundreds of mechanisms and traps, its author being a once-famous mechanist in the Chaos Continent; "Magic Armor Refinement" was a book about armor and the forging of magic armor patterns, including the selection of various materials.

Li Yue silently marked these two pieces of knowledge in his mind, not paying much attention for now—because it was almost Red Hour, and the first lesson of the closed-door war training was about to begin.

"I'm leaving. Don't come to today's closed-door war training, you two." Li Yue telepathically conveyed to Mini and Mini, and the two little fellows nodded fiercely.

Mini ran up and stuffed a piece of meat into his hand, seemingly to compensate for the limelight being stolen by Mini. Li Yue was about to laugh when he staggered and almost fell while taking a step.

With countless pieces of knowledge stuffed into his head, Li Yue's stream of consciousness wasn't very smooth for a moment, but he truly felt a sense of transformation—although his physical strength hadn't improved much, these knowledge and the "Absorption" effect after experimentation clearly laid a good foundation for Li Yue's mind demon career.

Li Yue quickly walked towards the Gate of Chaos, occasionally distracted, and even almost got lost to the upper level of the library. Finally, he stopped just in time by the bone door of the thirteenth library, and timely integrated into the space opened up by Mento.

The moment he entered, Li Yue clearly sensed the effect of being "Watched." Some familiar, inexplicable, and indifferent gazes focused on him.

Some came from the demon commanders in the entertainment room, while others seemed to come from higher-level beings, faint and indistinct, with hidden murmurs.

Those distant gazes, sensing Mento's interference, suddenly withdrew, while the gazes in the entertainment room were filled with resentment—Bosh and Finley.

As Yingying had said, the red-skinned demons and magic wolf warriors had all "timely" returned to participate in the course, but in Li Yue's perception, he felt that all four lifeforms were gray and lifeless. Although he couldn't see what specific injuries they had suffered, they were filled with death.

In terms of appearance, the three Bosh demons were still small, and Finley was still bald and injured—obviously, during their month of confinement, Mento hadn't thoughtfully restored their physical condition.

"How was it? Did you get enough of the taste of confinement?" Li Yue greeted Bosh and Finley generously, and also reaped the malice as desired. "Or do you want to go back and calm down again?"

"Very good, very棒, couldn't be better..." Bosh replied viciously, "Heh heh heh... I had an extra month to think about how to kill you."

"Oh? A month, huh... That must be a great plan... Just like in the Blood River? Rush over? Attack? And then die?" Li Yue kept mocking.

"Bastard... You'll know in a while..." Bosh seemed to have his plan exposed, clenching his fist fiercely, while his attendant sisters, Kelly and Kerr, unable to bear their master being insulted, were about to rush over to attack, but were stopped by Bosh in time.

On the other side, the Magic Wolf Prince Finley continued to stuff meat into his mouth, as if he wouldn't speak unless his physical condition was good. He gnawed on the entertainment room's food while using Li Yue as a flavor reference, crunching and chewing.

The MiniMinis in the entertainment room quickly left after collecting the food, handing over to the next batch of MiniMinis; Li Yue didn't see Yingying, left the lounge and walked deeper, taking the lead to arrive at the classroom to wait.

The classroom was very large, more than enough to accommodate a dozen war training students, and even felt a bit empty; moonlight poured down from the dome above the podium, coated with a strange red color under the reflection of the patterns and colors of the stained glass windows.

The window was painted with the Demon King's City, its height almost level with the moon in the sky, and below it were humans enduring endless war and suffering.

Li Yue chose a seat at the very back and sat down, waiting for the arrival of Red Hour.

His head was still dizzy, which might be why Li Yue didn't entangle with Bosh too much; supporting his head with his hand, Li Yue silently looked inward. The effects of Absorption and Replenishment were still there, and the other three relatively "negative" blessings were not in effect, which slightly reassured Li Yue.

"Ooooooo~ Studious student~ Sit down~"

"Hee hee hee hee~ How afraid he is of death~ And how thirsty he is for knowledge~"

Suddenly, a few distinct chuckles rang out. Li Yue focused his eyes again and found that on the head of the Demon King's City in the glass window, an aggregate body entangled with countless wronged souls suddenly appeared, then floated down from the city head, gradually enlarging, as if it was walking towards him.

During the process of walking, the wronged souls entangled with each other, and the expressions on the faces of countless demons were constantly changing, with wails, joy, and anger mixed together.

When its size covered the Demon King's City in the window, the speaker also jumped out of the stained glass window and floated to the center of the podium.

Looking from Li Yue's perspective, he almost suspected that this was Budhiboge—under the entanglement of wronged souls, the appearance of this "mentor" was quite like mud, which was strangely similar to Budhiboge's injured state.

"We are countless demons~" "A dead aggregate~" "And also your~" "Mentor~" "Aggregate of wronged souls~"

"Death Edict~ Death Edict~" "Forbid you~ Death~"

The countless demon wronged souls on the aggregate sang one after another, the pauses making Li Yue very uncomfortable.

"Only you alone~" "Afraid of death~"

The aggregate of wronged souls floated around the classroom, seemingly not surprised that only Li Yue was present.

"There's also me." Under the moonlight, the shadow of the desk changed, and Yingying was already waiting in the classroom.

"Then we~" "Let's start the class~"

After the aggregate of wronged souls said the last sentence, the hourglass on the podium table flipped over, and Red Hour had arrived; and some messy flapping of wings came from the classroom door. Bosh, Kelly, and Kerr swaggered in. Bosh sat in front of Li Yue, and the guard sisters sat on Li Yue's left.

"Not yet~" "All here~" "Then we~" "Wait a bit~"

Following closely, the demon merchant Mai Mai carried the nightmare succubus Nete Meire on his shoulders, walking in with a body of sparkling jewels, nodding to Bosh, as if there was some tacit understanding; Nete Meire's performance was even bolder, frequently flirting with Bosh, seemingly more curious about the shrunken pure-blooded demon.

As for the demon scribe Daiman Benben, the red-robed priest Reed Kurt, and the demon chef Pigot, none of them came to the classroom, obviously not very interested in the subject of "Death Edict."

The magic wolf Finley was also not present. Li Yue guessed that he should be seizing the time to recover from his injuries, waiting to deal with himself.

While waiting for the students, a dozen MiniMinis, as attendants, also ran to the classroom, but all huddled far away at the back of the classroom, deeply afraid of the trainees.

"Demons all~ All here~" "We~ Let's start class~"

"Ba——"

At a certain moment, a certain demon face on the aggregate of wronged souls suddenly magnified, filling the entire classroom, and let out a long howl.

That howl shook Li Yue's eardrums, and then... directly blew up the head of a certain MiniMini at the edge of the classroom!

"The first lesson of Death Edict~" "The content is~" "Disorder~" "You'll never guess~" "When you will die~"

Thump.

The corpse of the dead MiniMini fell to the ground, but the others didn't dare to move.
