I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The candlelight was like a mirror, projecting a long-unseen coliseum.

Upon the desolate earth stood a candelabra, flanked by two crossed longswords; scattered embers of light spread out, opening entrances for each contestant.

The crossed swords soared, becoming guardians of the moon, and the candelabra also abruptly rose, becoming a high-reaching torch pointing to the heavens.

Immediately afterward, the base of the torch opened its eyes, scanning the spreading embers, like an ancient god awaiting the contestants' entrance.

A certain ember suddenly grew larger, and a monstrous toad-like creature abruptly appeared in the arena, then concealed its form…

A contestant has already entered.

“It’s starting! Let’s go!” Spad had been waiting for a long time and was about to touch the candlelight on his body to enter the arena.

However, Li Read's gaze never shifted from the eyes on the base.

Li Read could understand how gladiators could enter the arena the moment they saw the candlelight, but… whose eyes were those?

“That is…” Li Read inexplicably felt that the gaze was very familiar.

The sandstorm had not completely risen, but Li Read saw locusts laying eggs underground; it wouldn't be long before a locust wearing a crown would appear.

She waved her wings, and the evil souls and wraiths turned to ashes; she ascended into the sky, and fiery clouds obscured the swords and the moon, and fiery rain washed over all the souls on the desolate earth.

Li Read wasn't sure if plunging headfirst into this chaos was safe.

At this moment, battles erupted one after another on the desolate earth; the invisible toad devoured skeletons, dark elves, and all things bloodthirsty; and those demons who attempted to gain satisfaction and pleasure from the Slaughter Cup died one after another, some even being taken away by inexplicable attacks the moment they arrived at the coliseum.

She opened her palm, and large chunks of the arena became as smooth as a mirror, then turned blank, disappearing with her; when they reappeared, the demons who had been there fell to the ground as charred meat.

Among them was an angel with fire emanating from his wings.

What does “shoved into his face” mean?

Jesse laughed heartily, stirring up the fiery clouds, covering the ground to become a fiery prison, baptizing everything.

In his words, Van Helsing also stepped into the coliseum, grabbing the invisible toad, slamming and biting it.

Especially with Jesse in the arena, attacking all demons.

Only, the familiarity was mixed with some indifference and coldness.

The opening battle of this centennial Slaughter Cup actually had a hint of a final battle.

Firstly, because Van Helsing was thick-skinned and could continuously recover by devouring, he was a very good tank.

She kicked the demons approaching her away like a soccer ball, leaving footprints of flowing lava on the snail's body.

“I think I should go?” Acca was silent for a long time, and seeing Egg being kicked miserably by Jesse, he finally couldn't resist the urge to join the battlefield.

Before long, Li Read had exhausted all the good intentions he had stored, almost re-creating a skeleton version of Van Helsing.

“Your old friend has come too.” Yingying saw the angelic Jesse, and her heart was also eager to move.

Whose face?

“Cheng ran to the opening battle of the centennial Slaughter Cup… Doesn't this mean… it has designs on this endless battle?” Li Read suddenly realized that Cheng's appearance in the desolate earth was definitely not just to watch the battle.

No wonder the half-ruined coliseum still had the ability to host the centennial Slaughter Cup; it turned out to be with Cheng's support…

Lu Shun's bone house was like a tumor, and also a bit like a rebellious bone.

So, one huge bone club after another was ground out and placed in the Great Library, then taken back into the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

Li Read prepared to sneak into the giant ape's cerebrum, letting Lu Shun lead him up the base of the candelabra, close to Cheng.

Li Read didn't expect it to be so convenient.

“It seems I'm still not bad, still having time to run to the coliseum to play.” Li Read commented lightly, “But that's also good, with me here, I can attract most of the attention…”

“Daddy, why is this?” Yinger had been silent, observing Lu Shun's actions.

Wait a moment.

In this situation, only behemoths and some heretics with special abilities could breathe in the coliseum.

“Okay, slaughter is pleasant.” Lu Shun sincerely blessed Acca while modifying Kakaroth's body, also wanting to see if a Tier 9 Knight could still be so arrogant when facing a Demon King.

Moreover, Cheng was embedded in the base of the candelabra, not in the very center.

Upon entering, he felt a stench.

“Where is the Demon King?” Jesse asked the candlelight.

“Cheng…” Nolamore gave the answer.

The battle on the desolate earth was even more peaceful, with fiery clouds, blood rain, and snail slime filling the arena, quickly consuming the other scattered demons.

“I will try to contact Cheng in a moment; you keep an eye on things for me.” For Li Read, what was happening in the Slaughter Cup was not important; how to approach Cheng was the primary issue.

The range of the desolate earth was constantly expanding, accommodating the demons and humans who arrived one after another.

Li Read suddenly understood.

For example, the Sect of Bearing, and the locusts underground…

Even though Yinger could sense some of Li Read's purpose through the shadows, she still only half understood.

Demons and magical creatures within a few hundred meters were crushed into meat patties in the confrontation between the two behemoths.

“Silly child, of course, it's to shove it into Van Helsing's head?” Li Read said, then, according to his memory, replicated the various skeletal details of the giant ape.

She is Jesse.

Plus, Li Read remembered its skeletal details, so even if the bones or flesh were broken, and there was no time to “self-heal,” they could be directly replaced with low-density bones…

“Should we wait a little longer?” Yingying also knew that this situation in the arena was not very friendly to brain spirits, unsure if now was the best time to cut in.

Yingying also followed Lu Shun's train of thought and found the reason for Cheng's appearance in the coliseum.

However, Cheng seemed different now, not quite like the ignorant appearance during the Bone Hammer War, becoming somewhat gloomy.

That small town that only knew to ask the City Defense Commander for pocket money had matured…

“We can't wait any longer; anything could happen ahead.” Li Read finally plated a layer of photon pigment, concealed his form, and, together with one dense and one faint shadow,遁入了烛火.

The Slaughter Cup had already begun and had become a chaotic mess.

【Cheng wants to absorb the desire for slaughter in the Slaughter Cup.】

Anyway, Van Helsing hadn't experienced it yet, and would soon adapt.

The candlelight did not respond.

“Don't worry, I will be back before Red Time starts.” Acca still remembered his agreement with Lu Shun, knowing to deal with the resurrected Budiborg in time.

Li Read still remembered Cheng saying that joy was the emotion of the Demon King City, the casino was the desire of the Demon King City, and the coliseum was the power of the Demon King City…

He was just about to understand its “polymerization” when it was directly delivered to his face?

“I'm going first!” Spad didn't care so much; the moment he touched the candlelight, his whole body burst into flames, then plummeted straight into the desolate earth of the coliseum.

The little shadow demon saw Li Read create a bone house like a tumor, then change Kakaroth's skeletal shape, shoving it into the bone house.

“It seems tonight's opening battle… we will also participate.” Li Read certainly wouldn't let go of this moment when Cheng and the Bone Cart Sect were separated, decisively starting to adjust Kakaroth's body composition, preparing to participate in the competition in a moment.
