I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The Bone of Self-Healing had long been Lee Read's sensed object, and this skeleton, ravaged by the Heart of Purgatory and magma, was already incredibly fragile. With just a thought from Lee Read, it would turn to dust.

“Pa! Pa!” The second batch of brain spirits erupted with mental power, killing three of them, while Lee Read's lower body was shattered by this attack, scattering a large amount of bone matter on the ground.

Bosh's eyes lit up, and he gripped the Heart of Purgatory tighter in his small hand: "Kill! Kill him!"

【Kill the skeleton… I don’t even need to do it myself… Great…】

Nate Meimei, on the other hand, looked dim, as if she couldn't believe that Scourge Rick would die so easily—was this the skeleton who was just clamoring? The one who killed most of Bosh's life, solved his personal guards and the Demon Wolf Prince, Scourge Rick?

Lee Read took advantage of the gap after the second batch of brain spirits exploded to control the bone sword, stabbing quickly at the brain spirits in the air…

However, just as the bone sword was about to pierce the brain spirit, something seemed to suddenly go awry. An inexplicable force became deadlocked between Lee Read and the brain spirits. Then, the tip of the sword trembled and turned back, stabbing towards Lee Read himself at the entrance of the Gate of Chaos!

“You! Damn brain spirits…” Lee Read pretended to be shocked, and his jaw really dropped.

This was Lee Read's performance of "self-stab"—anyway, the bone sword couldn't hurt him, and… pretending to pierce his skull would do.

“Tug on my shadow…” Lee Read transmitted his thought to Shadow while self-stabbing—he couldn't break free from the brain spirits' mental power with his own strength alone. Shadow's help was needed in this step.

“Pa! Pa…” Three more brain spirits died, and most of Lee Read's body turned to dust. The bone sword also pierced into his mouth as he wished!

Grazing past his brain.

Borrowing the force of the bone sword's stab, borrowing the unseen dragging force of Shadow, in a cloud of scattered bone matter, Lee Read flew backward towards the Gate of Chaos, without any reluctance, diving into that layer of ripples, leaving Bosh and Nate Meimei with a half-face of despair tinged with fear.

“Lord Bosh~ Aren't you going to chase him?” Nate Meimei gave a charming wink, “The brain spirits are all broken…”

【The skeleton is going to die! The skeleton will change bodies… Can't let him escape!】

Bosh's pupils dilated, and he pressed the shriveled Heart of Purgatory against his chest, flapping his wings and chasing out!

“What a pity… Dreams will eventually wake up. This time, Lord Bosh won't be coming back, will he?” Nate Meimei's smile remained unchanged, as she looked at the shadow at the door, “Little Shadow?”

The shadow at the door didn't change at all—Shadow finally couldn't hold back and chased out as well.

She couldn't miss the end of the grand show.

“Are they all gone… How lonely…” Nate Meimei muttered a few times, not planning to listen to the Blood River's “War Studies” tonight, and lay back on the sofa, waiting for a returning winner.

…

Rushing out of the Gate of Chaos, Bosh saw half a skeleton body crawling on the porch, stumbling towards the stairs at the corner.

“It's your turn to die, you bastard…” At this moment, Bosh felt quite pleased seeing Lee Read fleeing in a panic, completely believing that the "Scourge Rick" in front of him really had no power to fight back. He flapped his wings and chased after him, turning his right fist into magma, preparing to crush this major problem like crushing a cockroach.

But he forgot that cockroaches are a very difficult creature to kill—Lee Read suddenly accelerated, leaping upwards to the upper level, using all his strength to barely avoid being caught by Bosh.

【Chase, chase, chase… We must take this opportunity to kill the skeleton…】

Bosh chased resolutely.

Taking the lead to climb to the corner of the stairs, Lee Read instantly transformed into Budibogg, a mass of mud arching towards the closed iron door.

Whether he could borrow a knife to kill a demon depended on the moment—this time, he not only wanted to mess with Bosh, but also blow up Budibogg's lair…

“Open the door.” Lee Read transmitted his thought to the painting next to the iron door.

The demon in the painting seemed a little puzzled, scratching his robe with his fingers, opening a crack in the iron door with suspicion, feeling that something was wrong.

“Keep this door in the ‘open’ state…” Lee Read transmitted his thought, not even turning his head as he slipped through the door.

The scholar had a hint of doubt on his face—when did the Lord of Brain Spirits leave? Wasn't the Killing Cup tomorrow night? How could there be two Lords of Brain Spirits?

But feeling the scorching aura chasing up the stairs, the scholar obediently did as he was told and quickly hid behind the rest of the team.

Soon, a red-skinned little demon's figure appeared at the corner, rushing towards the iron door with a swift movement, wrapping up a burst of red and black magma, even scorching the corner of the painting black.

Inside the door, at the moment of entering, Lee Read maintained Budibogg's appearance, just to buy a moment of time—although the possibility was very small.

Budibogg was still inside; imaginary beings had no reason not to distinguish him.

As Lee Read suspected—the first thing that happened was that Lee Read was stared at by the earth element.

The wall of the ceiling instantly deformed, and the mass of earth element with eyebrows and eyes lowered, then launched an attack on Lee Read without hesitation!

Silver Fish, Old Magician, Golden Armor Warrior, even Oogie Boogie… all pushed open the doors from the library—this group of Budibogg's imaginary beings had a natural bond with the Lord of Brain Spirits. Even without distinction, they discovered that Lee Read was an invading imposter, greeting him with the most vicious curses.

All of these were Budibogg's arrangements—any existence invading the upper level of the library would be subjected to the most merciless attack.

In an instant, Lee Read felt the surrounding air shatter, as if his entire person was placed in a fish tank, with silver bubbles everywhere, each bubble containing countless dead versions of himself, about to float and disappear with the bubbles.

Beside those countless silver bubbles, there were even countless buzzing, scarlet golden mosquitoes surrounding him, refracting a bizarre and fragmented world.

The mud released from the Old Magician's fingers, the sword light bursting from the Golden Armor Warrior… were all deadly weapons in Budibogg's imagination. Any one of them was enough to make Lee Read doomed.

Lee Read wanted to retreat, but found himself involuntarily floating upwards with the silver bubbles, losing the possibility of moving, and would burst with the bubbles at any time…

Lee Read's plan to buy time was shattered, but fortunately, there was still a backup plan.

In an instant, Lee Read disappeared.

Concealment.

The last concealment was used by Lee Read here.

Then all these attacks missed—Lee Read found that it was as if he had switched to another plane. Those silver bubbles, scarlet golden mosquitoes, the mud and sword light in the air… all fell solidly on him, but passed through his body without causing any impact.

The next second, a red figure rushed in through the crack in the iron door—Bosh.

He was about to become the new prey of Budibogg's imaginary beings.

“Skeleton! You have nowhere to…” Bosh suspected that he was having a nightmare—what were these? Who were they? Why were they attacking him?

Were they Scourge Rick's servants?

The next moment, Bosh remembered… The upper level of the library was the room where the Lord of Brain Spirits was located.

Lee Read seized the time to slip out of the door crack, gave up the "concealment" state, and firmly closed the iron door.

“Bang!” The iron door slammed shut, and Lee Read piled up a high skeleton frame outside the door, firmly supporting the iron door, preventing anything inside from窜出来.

The demon scholar in the painting had just extinguished the flames on his body, staring at the skeleton blocking the door with his mouth slightly open, completely not understanding what had just happened.

“What are you looking at?” Lee Read leaned back against the iron door—if the binding wire wasn't strong enough to pierce the iron door and the ground, Lee Read would have sealed the door.

The scholar in the painting shrank his neck, lowered his head, picked up a book and started reading.

Lee Read released his perception, but couldn't penetrate the iron door, and wasn't sure what was happening inside, whether Bosh was dead or not.

The most ideal state, of course, was for Bosh to lose two lives inside, and incidentally blow up the Lord of Brain Spirits—didn't the Heart of Purgatory still explode? Blowing up Budibogg's home was just right.

Lee Read didn't think that Bosh had the ability to crawl out of the iron door alive, and quietly waited for the moment when this demon legion commander died.

If Bosh really died inside, even if "Attention" suddenly took effect, Lee Read could guarantee that he wouldn't directly face the Demon Commander's anger to the greatest extent.

This was the best method Lee Read could think of to kill Bosh.

And he could also try to kill Budibogg, why not?

While Lee Read was thinking wildly, a rumbling sound suddenly came from inside the iron door—consistent with the previous eruption of the "Heart of Purgatory."

The volcano erupted again in the library, even more violent than the previous time!
