The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Samira the Manticore
The manticore is a woman. A six-foot-tall muscular woman. With tan skin and golden-brown hair. Her eyes are of a gleaming yellow, with the pupils resembling that of a tiger’s. Instead of being fully gilded with armor, she lets most of her upper body show. With the only thing covered being the part of her breasts – gilded with fine armor. This isn’t because she wants to hide her chest but because she’s protecting a vital part of her body – her heart.If not for this weakness, she’d let her upper body show entirely. She doesn’t care about stuff like nudity after all. All the manticore cares about is battle and whoever it is that can quench her desire for it. That being said, she also has her lower body covered with leather pants. Breathable and stretchable and, is made from one of the strongest monsters that she defeated. Hence ensuring the durability of the said pants. Completing the look is her black combat boots. Matching the color of her upper armor, as well as her leather pants.
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Preparations
Merlin sat in the middle of a wide and empty room inside his own dungeon. This place has been fortified so that all outside noises is muted entirely. And even sounds made inside do not echo, nor make too much sound. There is a peace here. A calm. And penetrating it is the chaos that Merlin brings.Sylvie entered that room and she can already feel something strange about it. The demon doesn’t seem to notice her presence but that cannot be farther from the truth. Even with his eyes closed and his back facing the dark elf, Sylvie can still somehow feel that Merlin is looking at her. Making her feel a spine-tingling sensation that quickly rose in her body.Then came the unexpected. All of a sudden, the room seem to begin getting sucked in by him. Not literally, no. This happened with the dark mana that was seemingly spread across the room. One which is too thin that the dark elf failed to notice it. But now that Merlin is reclaiming it, the mana is easier for her to see.It’s not an easy

[Five Days Later][Wisp Forest – Nighttime]The blood moon rose at the sky. An ominous and eerie presence when night finally came. With it comes the howling of the wolves and the laughing of the goblins. The screams of the dying and the sound of flesh being gnawed. The whole forest has turned into something unbecoming. Drunk with the color that the moon bathes it in…and illuminated by this same moon is the manticore, Samira.The creature floats above the sky. Its golden eyes changed color. The same color as the moon and, its mane has changed as well. Donning a darker shade of yellow. With streaks of red mixing within it. With this comes an aura of crimson mana. Not because she wants to release it but because she has too much of it. There is too much mana that it can’t fit in her body anymore. And more of it just keeps pouring out.“This is it Dirth.” She told her attendant as they both looked down on the forest. “This is the day I force that ent to fight me head on.”The goblin shaman
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Demon Vs. Manticore II
The clash of mana brought a renewed passion for Samira. Her eyes seemingly gleamed in excitement – the thrill of the hunt that cannot compare to anything else. And her prey for this evening has shifted completely. Not the ent who rules over the forest but this demon whose mana has clashed with hers.The first exchange between the two ended in a seeming draw. There is a graze that it left on Samira’s cheek but this got healed right away. Regenerating through one of her multiple passives that has been acquired from eating her prey. No matter what species these may be.Just like her, there is no damage sustained by her opponent. The armor of the demon seem to have kept it from getting a couple of scratches and, the face of the demon doesn’t have a single wound on it as well. This is a good start for Samira. Clashing their mana and not getting damaged is the least that her opponent can do to prove that he is in a standing to entertain
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Demon Vs. Manticore III
[Skill Name: Mana Drain][Skill Type: Active][Grade: D][Information: Drains 2% of a single target opponent’s overall mana every 5 second. This is converted to the caster’s own mana. This can only happen when the mana of the caster comes into contact with the intended target.][Information: The skill runs for 10 seconds and then goes into cooldown for another ten seconds.]This is the skill that Merlin used in the fight. A skill that he bought in the shop to ensure that he’ll gain a higher chance of winning. It may look like a simple skill but its efficiency cannot be doubted. Since the skill only drains a small portion of Samira’s mana, she doesn’t feel it happening. What’s more, even as the skill goes on cooldown, Merlin can continue draining the mana of his opponent with the use of an afterimage.As for how he’s doing it, Merlin covered the whole field with his dark mana. It’s the same trick that he showed to Sylvie but a more refined version of it. Caused by the fact that he also
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Demon Vs. Manticore IV
Merlin continued the fight against the manticore without a second of hesitation. He can’t afford to have something like this. It will only breed trouble for him because once he begins thinking that the manticore is superior to him, then he’d already admit that he’s lost against it.It’s true that the manticore is stronger in terms of raw power. But they aren’t merely exchanging blows with each other. There are other variables to consider. And as far as battle strategy and wit is concerned, Merlin outclasses the manticore so badly that it won’t even be considered a fair fight anymore.That’s just the thing though. A battle involves multiple facets and the winner is usually the one who can capitalize on the most ones. Adding to one more element that plays a vital role in these fights as well – luck. But Merlin isn’t planning on relying on something as half assed as this concept. He has neve relied on luck and he won’t start doing so now. Though it can be said that meeting [World’s End]

“That’s more like it! Give it everything you’ve got demon!”Samira roared as she continued fighting Merlin. Her thoughts are a bit hazy now. Caused by her frenzy for battle that cannot be easily quenched. And this is being filled by Merlin to the brim. Making her drunk in this state as she continued to fight without thinking of anything else. The only thing on her mind is defeating the demon and eating him after. That is the only thing that is vividly on her head.Other than this, everything else is a big blur. Thousands of explosions hit her body every minute. She answers in kind by attacking the demon as well. Sprinting so fast that there’s no room for Merlin to make adjustments. She doesn’t even care to think about what strategy her opponent is using because, no matter what happens, she will be able to automatically adjust to it. Samira’s battle sense cannot compare to anything else after all. Her instincts for battle are so strong that she doesn’t need to think anymore. All she h
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Battle of Servants
The fight between the demon and the manticore has reached its climax. Undoubtedly, Merlin will win this fight. Samira is already in a state where she’s waiting for the final blow. But there is still one more variable that can get in the way. Dirth. The goblin shaman is sharp as much as he is crafty. With all of his undying loyalty for Samira, he won’t let his master die just like that. He will do everything in his power to make sure that the manticore survives. Even if this costs him his life. Even if this costs him to be despised by his own master for the rest of eternity. That is how much he cares for the survival of Samira.However, there is something getting in his way.While Merlin fought with Samira, his allies, Sylvie and Teach were also busy. They are the ones who dealt with the goblin shaman Dirth.This is done under Merlin’s orders as well. He told them that the manticore might have allies nearby and that he can’t afford to lose his focus against such a strong opponent by h

Finale
Three months has passed since Merlin waged war against the entirety of the human continent. Within this time, a lot of things have already happened. Though the first month is spent in relative silence, without much fighting and bloodbath, the same cannot be said for the months that followed after this.Though the first month could be called as calm and tame, what happened shortly after this is far from this description. There is no calm anymore. It is replaced, entirely, by a storm. One brought about by the demon lord Merlin Warlock and all of the vengeful spirit he has against the human race that has done noting but earn his utmost spite and resentment.Under the leadership of the demon lord, the forces of evil has advanced rapidly in the middle of the second month. What would’ve seemed as nothing more than a small wound proved to be a festering plague soon enough.This is all due to the tactical planning and advances made by Merlin. He didn’t target locations to occupy out of a whim

A Different Task
Every general that Merlin commands participated in a form of combat. This means that even Teach himself went to fight a couple of monsters along the way. The only difference between him and the others is that, Teach didn’t encounter any of the generals from the five continents. Call it luck if you will but he doesn’t actually take pride in this. Far from it, Teach is a bit disappointed that he doesn’t get to have the same kind of action that the others are getting.Gerant went and fought against a great general of the north who makes use of a cursed sword. The battle is a crucial part of the plan for the demon lord’s army to succeed because, with the victory of the blood ogre also comes the safety of the entirety of the demon lord’s territory from a sneak attack from the back.Then there’s the battle that Sylvie the dark elf experienced. One where she came face to face against another great general. The only tactical mind within the kingdom of Helios. If left unchecked, this person wo

A Swift Victory
Just like Sylvie and Gerant, Samira also encountered a general in the battlefield. A very powerful one at that because, this human is also the right-hand man of King Wolfhound. The greatest soldier that’s only second to the king himself. None other than Augustus.The general has already taken down a city and two villages that the monsters of the demon lord has occupied. As such, he’s making the most progress out of anyone. Clearing out the problems in such a rate that, if left alone, he would entirely wipe out all of the problems that the kingdom has.That’s why he has to be dealt with and, that’s why Samira came to pay him a visit. Not during the day when she’s weak of course but, rather, during the hours of the night. Making full use of the powers granted to her by moonlight. A privilege only she enjoys.With this, her powers are greatly boosted. Maybe too much to be exact because, right now, even the great general isn’t posing as a threat to her at all. “You’re a lot weaker than I

A Bad Matchup II
Thundering crashes continued within Raider city. Earthquakes of some sort that made some of the soldiers and even some of the monsters stop from fighting. Nobody could disregard it or pretend that it does not exist because of how easy it is to lose balance due to the force of every tremor that’s made and, the exceeding loudness that are emitted by these same forceful and powerful vibrations.Unlike the monsters and the humans however, the skeletons continued to move. The third faction that entered into the fray through seeming portals that made them come out in large quantities. Mixed with powerful monsters that tear upon the soldiers of Helios.The relentless attack of the skeletons, although not lethal at all, is enough to take the attention of the humans. Though this doesn’t make their fighting any less difficult. With the addition of these creatures, the monsters that invaded the city have finally begun to be able to fight back. A thing that’s not even supposed to happen and, woul

A Bad Matchup
The dark elf stood on top of the roof of a building standing just in front of General Justus. Completely alone and unguarded. This might seem like a poor choice on the part of the dark elf but, Justus can feel that the creature is strong enough to leave itself this way.Though this did not stop him from giving an order to nearby archers he placed around the vicinity as well. Doing so with a simple command spell that he placed on himself and the said units. Granting them a target mark which tells them who it is that they need to shoot and, for them to get a clear shot, he needs to continue getting the attention of this new opponent.The archers are all, of course, trained by him in secret. This is something he requested from King Wolfhound himself. Meaning, these are all exceptional soldiers. That’s why the general knows that they’d be able to handle their target without much trouble at all.“My lord told me that there’d be monsters here but, I didn’t expect that there’s be humans as w

The Day of Attack
The air around raider city is filled with the vile stench of rotting flesh. There is a silence brought about, not by peace and rest, but by the fact that all humans within this city have been killed. Murdered and eaten by the monsters that now occupy it as well. Making it their abode as the war between the newest demon lord is waged against the five kingdoms.In the dead silence of early morn, not even birds have begun to chirp yet. Darkness fills the entirety of the world like a mantle, hiding everything from plain sight. Creating a camouflage for everyone who wants to make it their own – the very same thing that Justus’ soldiers did.They made use of the darkness to continue their advance towards the city. Just as he ordered, he left the nearby village before the first streaks of dawn could be seen. Each and every soldier is already prepared when he called for them; their punctuality being one of the few things that he likes when it comes to his own kingdom.“I don’t want any excess

General Justus
Khanza is not the only reliable general that’s been deployed for the war. As a matter of fact, every reliable general of every kingdom has been brought out for this war and, one of them is the great tactician – Justus.It is said that, when it comes to creating effective strategies in the battlefield, there is nobody that could match his level. A spectacled adolescent that is looked upon by many as a figure that’s been born in the wrong place. After all, he is a member of the kingdom of Helios.Any praise that may go into his great tactics is non-existent within this kingdom. Other than the craft of forging and, the physical prowess of a person, nothing else matters. Yet that is also the reason why this same general is all the more interesting.He isn’t just all wits. No. General Justus is a strong gladiator as well. Knowing that nobody would ever recognize him if he doesn’t show his might in the battlefield, he continued honing his body. Making it a lethal weapon that can play out al

Blood and Poison
Gerant’s attack sent his opponent flying in the air. With this comes a powerful explosion that ate away at the flesh of Khanza. No amount of defensive capability helped the demonified general as, Gerant watched his opponent get eaten away by newly furnished spell.This is an attack that Gerant has only perfected recently and, is able to do so because of the help of his lord and savior, Merin Warlock. A demon lord that showed him a path that he himself could not have seen all on his own.In the original game, Gerant’s power is so frightening that it’s said that he can destroy the barrier of Genesis City itself. And the spell he can unleash which gave him such a reputation is the same one that he’s using right now.[Skill Name: Malevolence][Skill Type: Channeling Burst][Grade: S][Mana Cost: 100,000][Information: The initial part of the spell creates a domain around the entirety of the battlefield. Casting this takes away 20% of the stats of the caster, as well as the same amount of

Conclusion
Khanza’s form changed completely. His grayish hair has turned into pitch black. His eyes are filled with nothing but the void. The rest of his body is consumed in flesh, seemingly made from the cursed sword which has its core in the middle of the general’s chest. There is also a tail at his back – a thick one that might be usable for both offense and defense.It’s a demon. There’s not a shadow of a doubt that it’s a demon that Gerant is facing right now. One which has bloodlust outpouring from it as well. Directed towards nobody else but the blood ogre as a deafening screech escaped from the jaws of the beast he has to face.“To think that a general of the north can use Demonification. That’s definitely something I didn’t expect to encounter in this lifetime.” Gerant sarcastically said.“You will pay for your sins with your life!”The monster howled at him with such strength that the blood ogre’s ears almost bled. The sound even touching the parts of his exposed skin violently, as if
