I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

This was an unexpected change for Li Yue—he was prepared to be "detested," "scrutinized," and "rebellious" when executing his plan, but he never anticipated that the terrifying gaze would come from the father of the demon wolf Finley, the master of the Forbidden Forest, the Demon Wolf King Fenteus.

As if confirming that the scattered skeleton on the ground was the murderer of his son, Demon Wolf King Fenteus's eyes turned red, and murderous intent instantly filled Li Yue's brain, threatening to wash away all of Li Yue's will in the next moment.

However, the skull disappeared.

Or rather, the target that had been locked onto by the Demon Wolf King's will no longer existed within Fenteus's field of vision—Concealment, Li Yue triggered Concealment for the second time.

Li Yue didn't believe he had the ability to withstand a quasi-Demon King level demon, so he unhesitatingly played this trump card to escape Fenteus's gaze—Concealment itself was an important reason why Li Yue dared to act in the library, but at this moment, he only had one last chance.

As early as when he killed the Book Demon, Li Yue discovered that as long as he touched a real existence, he would break out of the Concealment state, so at this moment, he wouldn't dare to retrieve the scattered bones—in the Concealment state, Li Yue only took a skull back to the lower level of the library, and wasn't even sure if he could survive the period of "Scrutiny."

At the same time, Demon Wolf King Fenteus, who had lost his young son, firmly remembered the aura of the Self-Healing Bone and let out a long howl to the sky—the howl originated from the Forbidden Forest, causing the entire forest to writhe and tremble, and even deep within the library, it could be faintly heard.

The Sixth Library, located on the outer wall of Demon King City, heard it even more clearly—Mini and Minnie, along with the slave scholars, didn't know what was happening, and huddled together for warmth, not even daring to look out the window.

Mini and Minnie guarded the entrance, extremely worried about whether their "brother" was still around—although they didn't know Li Yue's specific plan, they had felt his firm will and couldn't help but guess that everything happening in Demon King City at this moment was related to this restless brother.

Moonlight filled the Sixth Library, and Mini and Minnie opened their ears, listening intently to the movements in the corridor.

After waiting for a while, they vaguely heard the sound of a body dragging on the ground and the sound of fat colliding with the wall. Mini and Minnie firmly pressed down on the door seam, fearing that something terrible might sneak in.

If they hadn't obeyed Li Yue's instructions so strictly and had bravely opened the door, they would have seen the scene of the surviving Minis and Minnies from yesterday's closed-door battle training supporting each other and running back to the library hall.

And not long after the surviving Minis and Minnies left, a mass of rotten mud floated past the entrance of the Thirteenth Library, constantly probing with corpses and arms as its will extended, seemingly very puzzled.

"Hmm... why isn't there a single Brain Spirit... are they all dead?" After absorbing the magic power of the Book Demon, the Demon Guard, and the Demon Wolf Finley, Boody Borg used the library's authority to take a look, didn't find any trace of Scourerick's existence, and finally dared to come out and summon the Brain Spirits, but didn't receive any feedback.

Li Yue, in the "Concealment" state, happened to avoid today's summoning, which was a kind of luck to some extent.

And Li Yue didn't dare to show himself, firstly because Scrutiny was still in effect, and secondly because he was afraid of being taken into Boody Borg's body as soon as he appeared.

"Damn it... it's all that dead skeleton's fault... I have to be earlier tomorrow... I have to go to the arena again tomorrow night..." Boody Borg discovered the mess and dead bones in the corridor, afraid that Scourerick would emerge from somewhere again, and quickly turned around and went back upstairs.

Although there were many discrepancies in the details, the overall situation in the library basically developed as Li Yue had expected—at this moment, Li Yue was hiding outside the door of the Sixth Library, separated from his beloved Minis and Minnies by a wall, his body extremely exhausted, but his mind was still in the afterglow of the previous excitement.

Killing the Book Demon, Corley, Kerr, and the Demon Wolf Finley in succession, and provoking the Demon Wolf King Fenteus... Li Yue's magic power was exhausted, most of his trump cards were revealed, and the entire plan had reached the verge of collapse, requiring a reevaluation.

Of course, Li Yue never thought of giving up—since he had already started, he couldn't allow himself to give up halfway. In Demon King City, surrounded by demons, there was no room for ambiguity.

Recalculating the current situation and variables in his mind, Li Yue repeatedly revised his plan, realizing that he still needed to race against time... just wait to get through "Scrutiny" and then proceed to the next step.

… …

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, a forest ranger was talking to the forest.

"Fenteus... please stop." Half of the forest ranger's face was covered with leaves, embedded with fangs, and the other half was a calm human face, whispering to the wind in the forest.

"My son... died in the library... Boody Borg... Mentor... I want to go to the library to see..." The smell of blood in the forest gradually thickened, filled with the anger of a Demon Wolf King.

"Two ennobled demons are not allowed to appear in the same area at the same time, except for the arena... this is the iron law of Demon King City." The forest ranger's voice was steady, and he didn't flinch because of the increasingly viscous air. "Even Okiboki cannot enter the library in his true form. Are you planning to try?"

"Iron law... the City Lord... still has the power to maintain the iron law of Demon King City... right..." Fenteus's anger didn't diminish, but the smell of blood seemed to weaken. "The arena... the cubs said... Okiboki revealed a message... saying that Boody Borg is participating in the arena... is that true?"

"Yes." In Demon King City, different demons have their own channels for information. "The City Lord will also be invited to watch the battle on the next full moon. If you want to win the City Lord's 'permission', that's a good opportunity."

"Win the City Lord's permission..." The wind became lighter. "Maybe there is a simpler way... go to the territory of other ennobled demons..."

The forest ranger remained silent, vaguely guessing Demon Wolf King Fenteus's idea—two ennobled demons are not allowed to appear in the same area at the same time, so what if Boody Borg is gone?

"That bastard child... that poor soul..." The wind gradually subsided, replaced by the rising and falling wolf howls in the Forbidden Forest, piercing and sad.

When the wolf howls in the Forbidden Forest changed their tune, Li Yue at the door of the Sixth Library finally got rid of the trouble of "Scrutiny", and cautiously knocked on the wooden door of the library—until the end, Li Yue didn't test the time limit of "Concealment", and for a moment even had an illusion of "permanence."

It's just that time waits for no one, and Li Yue had to give up the advantage of Concealment, picked up a few self-healing bones that were almost ready, put them on, and took the first step to communicate with Mini and Minnie.

"Open the door, it's me," Li Yue transmitted.

The door was opened impatiently, Mini and Minnie's little faces were excited, jumping high, behind them were the uneasy gazes of the Minis and Minnies and the slave scholars—they knew that changes were taking place in the library, but they weren't sure if these changes... were good for them.

"Come with me to the hall," Li Yue led the way for Mini and Minnie, "Call everyone."

After letting the Minis and Minnies leave the Sixth Library in a line, Li Yue stood coldly at the door and drew a line for the slave scholars inside: "Don't come out, don't come out no matter what happens. Anyone who crosses this line, dies."

The slave scholars lowered their heads, not even daring to look at Li Yue a few more times.

A group of uneasy Minis and Minnies returned to the library hall, first hugging their half-dead companions and crying for a while, each with lingering fears.

"Closed-door battle training, from now on you don't need to serve as attendants, the Brain Spirits will go," Li Yue announced good news, and the Minis and Minnies looked back suspiciously, not daring to believe it.

But after all, they were simple-minded demons—the Book Demon and the Brain Spirits were gone, and the Minis and Minnies accepted this arrangement, and then stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

The translation work couldn't be carried out, and the Book Demon hadn't arranged new tasks, so the Minis and Minnies were completely at a loss.

And Li Yue's order just happened to fill their emptiness: "Next, your task is to remodel the library hall."

Saying that, Li Yue rummaged through the ruins and found the book "Fatal Traps", pointing to a blueprint on a certain page: "Make this, the more the better..."

"Whether you can survive... depends on yourselves."
