Deep within the Forest of the Lost, there is serenity and peace. Brought about by the calm thickness of the trees that reduce the sound of anything within it but, more so, because of the lack of hunters going around killing the monsters of the forest. That’s right. Mordred has taken care of all the hunters that entered. He killed all of them with his own hands. Though having to rely on the monsters to weaken his opponents, he still claimed victory nevertheless. Gaining more levels as he finally reached [Level 16]. But more than this, he’s gotten better at using Nilfheim’s ability. Something he’s currently demonstrating as he proceeded to piercing a fish that’s swimming in the river.“Well, looks like I’m getting better at this.” He commented as he walked towards the prey that he just caught. Throwing it at his back where three goblins waited for it. Clapping for their master who continued on with his training.“It’s either that or I just randomly hit another fish instead of my target
Mordred thought that it’s an earthquake that hit the forest. He isn’t the only one, every other creature in that forest that’s sentient thought of the same thing. With how the quake spread across the whole of the forest, this is the only viable explanation that can be made. That there is an earthquake, a strong one, which suddenly hit them. However, that isn’t the case at all.“Your highness!” A soldier came running towards the middle of the crater. The source of the earlier quake. This is somewhere near the entry point of the forest. A spot that’s now filled with dust that thickened around the air.There are body parts of goblins and kobolds that can be seen by the soldier that continued moving towards the center. Something that this same person didn’t pay any mind to. This is normal in the battlefield. Corpses are normal in the battlefield and those that belong to monsters are of no concern to humans. The soldier continued until he reached the silhouette of a man. A broad and large
Mordred waited patiently deep inside the forest. After the first earthquake happened, he already had an inkling feeling. That there might be something bad that’s about to happen and that, this something bad may be caused not by a “What” but by a “Who”. That’s why he sent out Blaze. The wisp, being a creature that’s made of pure mana, can travel faster than any normal monster that’s at Zeke’s disposal. In fact, Blaze can reach any part of the forest seemingly in the blink of an eye.That’s why this creature played such a vital role back when it was still serving the Great Demon Lord Dantes. Blaze served as the eyes and ears that worked for the strongest force of evil. Though unable to go to all places at once, Blaze can give orders directly and almost instantly. As soon as Dantes gives it, depending on the distance between Blaze and the target intended, the message can be delivered in as fast as a second. This is the same thing that Mordred utilized right there and then. He made Blaz
A single warrior carrying a shield and a sword dashed forward. Meeting him head on is a goblin that leapt towards him. Looking for the gap in the warrior’s defense as the creature held its poisoned dagger on its vile right hand – a decision that proved to be erroneous as the goblin got hit by an arrow right away. Digging through its left eye as it fell to the ground.Then came the footsteps that stepped through the corpse of the fallen monster. Five more goblins rushed towards the knight who continued running towards the monsters in return. As he did, three more arrows are shot from behind him. Hitting one more goblin and leaving four to be dealt with.The fighter began murmuring something behind his shield. A short incantation that took nothing less than five seconds to finish. And as he did, a radiant golden aura filed the entirety of his body which sped up and finally closed the gap between him and the remaining goblins.Within a second, he’s already in front of them – bashing one
Augustus continued moving down a single direction. Though there isn’t any guarantee that this would lead him outside. After all, this forest is named the [Forest of the Lost] and without any proper guide, anyone would surely experience the reason why this place has been named as such – the very fate that Augustus is now suffering because of how he left all of his allies behind.Their porter is the one who navigates for the group. With him being killed by the goblins, the only thing that Augustus can rely on is his own head. Though there isn’t much of that which can be relied on as the man simply continued blindly running without any pause or rest. That is, until he came across the eyes that gleamed in the darkness. This almost paralyzed him completely. He knows that what’s staring at him from the darkness is nothing more than a goblin but, what made this nerve wrecking is the fact that it multiplied. More pairs of eyes suddenly came out, surrounding the poor warrior on all sides. And
Blistering flames covered the ground where the humans stood. What was ten-thousand strong an hour ago, has now been reduced to a mere hundred. All heavily wounded. All bleeding to their imminent death. Yet, all still moving forward – marching towards their one goal.Vanquish the Demon Lord.Numerous versions of this story has been passed down for generations. But the most famous one is the birth of the ten heroes. Within the hellfire brought by the wretched demon lord where corpses of humankind have both pilled and burned to this unbearable heat, there are ten who withstood it all. As if they’ve gone through a baptism through fire.Led by the peerless knight named Arthur, the group slew one demon general after the other. Their numbers dwindled as they progressed but, the strength of the ten knights also increased all the same.The trials continued on for what seemed to be an eternity. The wails of the dying and, the regrets of the vanishing are all carried by the heroes. Reaching the
The hero, Mordred Pendragon, fought the Great Demon Lord Dantes Inferno on his own. The demon lord respected the human that stood on par against him and, even more so because this is the first true challenger that he’s ever come across – only to be trifled and ridiculed by the ten fake heroes who finished the fight. Plunging both Mordred and Dantes into a blazing inferno that burned them In his dying breath, the demon lord casted one final spell. Forcing all of the magic veins in his body, he took out his own heart and imprinted it with the life force of the dying Mordred Pendragon. Merging them together and, in exchange for him never coming back again, the hero will resurrect after ten years…and Mordred will rain down terror and destruction upon the whole of the land.………Mordred walked away from all of the screaming and the dying that’s going on in the forest. This is his fifth day after waking up so there are still a lot of things that are new to him. A lot of questions trouble
There are twelve kingdoms ruled over by twelve monarchs. Ten of these high-status individuals are the former allies of Mordred who fought alongside him before later betraying him. Then there are two more whom the ten monarchs chose for themselves to rule over smaller kingdoms and meager populations.As for the ones that are ruled over by they who have been dubbed as “Knight Heroes”, they have things better for them. Larger kingdom. Better populations. Safer locations. They also have people who help them take care of the kingdom. All they have to do is appear to the populace and make a couple of waves while the money of their people are siphoned by these bastards. One of these ten is the knight named Gawain. The man who stands as the vanguard of the group and stayed in the frontline during the battle against the forces of the Great Demon Lord. Now that this has passed, he is the ruler of the Felsen Kingdom. The man has aged well within the ten years that passed after the war against
