The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Avalon
A man with graying hair entered the tavern. Eyes followed him as he moved, those that belong to the merry drunkards who are filling their bellies with alcohol. Moonlight can be seen from outside the windows, gentle in comparison to the liveliness of these drunk men.The man who just entered moved through the crowd, not making a single eye contact. Everyone knows that it’s a bad idea to look at men whose heads aren’t in the right place. This precaution is used by the man until he finally reached his destination; a group of five at the second floor of the tavern.None of them have cloaks hiding their faces. That’s why it’s easy to make out who they are. None other than Merlin’s former allies. Members of Avalon and, to be more precise, the ones at the top of the rankings of the Guild.“Any news Sam?” Arthur asked in an impatient tone.“None sir.” The butler answered. “There doesn’t seem to be any link between the dungeon clearers and Gerald’s team.” There isn’t any system announcement o
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Dungeon Master
Merlin began his journey as the owner of a dungeon. He still hasn’t forgotten about his revenge but there’s one thing he realized. He doesn’t want to kill them all right away. The feeling of pleasure he got from taking down Gerald made him realize this. That he should be intimate with the death of every member of Avalon. Meaning, he needs to give each of them a unique death. This is the only way he’ll finally be at peace.That being said he focused his energy and resources into starting up his dungeon. He isn’t an idiot to just run into Genesis City thinking that he’d be able to get what he wants. The reason why every player begins in this place is because it boasts of a high level of security. Owing to the fact that powerful mages worked together to fortify its defenses, there is a barrier that protects this place which is comparable to the strength of Merlin’s [Aegis]. This makes it impregnable to monsters and, since Merlin is now half monster himself, he doubts if he can even pass
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Mercenaries
“Dang, those rich kids are really loaded.” Meor said, counting the silver coins that they’ve been paid with. Twenty in total. Half of the agreed amount which will only be paid in full once they finish their task.[Character Name: Meor] [Level: 22] [Occupation: Mercenary] [Class: Archer] “To think that they’d hire us to search a dungeon that’s already been cleared. They’re probably stupid.” Gild added, a muscular mercenary with scars across the parts of his skin that are showing. [Character Name: Gild] [Level: 25] [Occupation: Mercenary] [Class: Vanguard] “Don’t be fooled by the money. They won’t pay us that much for nothing.” Tirch said in a dry tone.[Character Name: Tirch] [Level: 28] [Occupation: Mercenary] [Class: Gladiator] “Ah come on, don’t be such a killjoy boss. When was the last time we’ve been given such an easy score?” Meor said. The three of them are mercenaries who came to life with the reconstruction of the world. They are real human beings, as real as ever
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Spoils and Surprises
“Man I’m glad I upgraded this skill on time.” Merlin said, looking at his mana coated dagger. The weapon has the fallen mercenary’s blood on I as well. But as soon as he swung the weapon and removed the mana, the stain of blood flew away as well. Leaving his weapon clean and as sharp as it always have been. Saving him the time of having to do maintenance on the weapon.“Good job guys.” This praise is directed towards the makeshift fighters which Merlin made use of. The kobolds who are wielding the regular kobold crossbows.“I knew you had it in you.” He added, drawing back his weapons into his inventory.The monsters responded by making gleeful cheers, something which Merlin never thought he’d ever come across in his life. He’ll get a lot of this in the future as well. He can feel it. But before that, he needs to clean up the mess left by the fight.To be fair, the only reason this ever worked is because Merlin has prepared everything beforehand. And by everything, I mean literally e
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Sloth and Progress
[Azazel Dungeon]The ascension of Merlin’s dungeon came quickly. With it comes a couple of decisions that need to be made. All of which are, of course, connected to the strengthening of his dungeon.[Azazel Dungeon][Level 2][Core Health: 150/150][Number of Units: 20/40][Crystal Points Available: 20][Point Requirement for Next Level: 200]These are the basic information that’s currently in front of Merlin. Unlike what he initially thought, the next level will be easy to reach. With just a hundred points added. Though he knows that there is also a possibility for the leveling requirement to spike soon. Meaning, as the levels go up, the difficulty of reaching a new level will heighten as well.That isn’t of any concern to Merlin yet. All that he needs to think about are the new features that these levels added. One of which is something that he never expected to encounter.[Notice: A hero can be summoned][Requirement: Build an Altar of Heroes][Unit Slot Consumption: 20]This is a
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Into the Den of Wolves
[Inside Azazel Dungeon]Within the same three days that the Avalonians used in order to meet up, Merlin has made quite the progress as well. With the construction of his barracks being completed, he’s able to summon more units that will fight for him. These being the following.[Unit Name: Crawler][Unit Allotment: 2][15 CP Per Summon]This is a monster that resembles a human but with a larger head and a body with its skin seemingly sticking to the bones with how thin it is.True to its name, instead of walking it crawls on the ground. Looking closer at its hands and feet, it’s noticeable that these are razor sharp; able to be likened to a real predator. These monsters aren’t capable of holding any sort of conversation though. But this lack is made up for by their animal like instincts when given a prey. [Unit Name: Spitfire][Unit Allotment: 2][15 CP Per Summon]Unlike the repulsive look of the Crawler, a Spitfire has a better appearance. This is a monster that resembles an insect
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Into the Den of Wolves II
[Den of Wolves]“So this is how it looks like.”A jungle. That’s where Merlin currently is. There are large trees all around him. Overgrown vines stick out of some of these. The faint sound of chirping birds can be heard in the background and the rustling of the leaves accompanies this. There is warm sunlight hitting parts of Merlin’s skin, penetrating from the gaps of the shade provided by the trees.“This doesn’t feel like my dungeon at all.” Merlin muttered as he looked around.He already knows that something like this might happen. The thing is, dungeon instances aren’t necessarily connected to the dungeon they are in. To be precise, these places are like separate subspaces that exist on their own. Hence the appearance of a dungeon instance, such as the one that Merlin entered, can have varying appearances.This might take longer than I thought are the words running through his head. The fact that this is called a den of wolves despite being a forest means that, there might be a w
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Kobold Named Teach
[Azazel Dungeon – Five hours after Merlin left]“Faster guys!” Teach said. “We need to finish this before the boss comes back.”Teach is talking in Kobold language of course. He is a Kobold Worker like the rest. But at the same time he is different because, among them, he’s the only one that received a name. This is important for monsters because there is a big difference between named and name monsters The biggest one is that, a named monster has higher stats compared to an unnamed one.Merlin can’t just provide one whenever he wishes though. In fact he didn’t even know how to bless a monster with a name at first. But his title as [Dungeon Master] helped with this. Allowing him to grant a name to one monster. This being only unlocked recently with the dungeon reaching [Level 2].Other than the stats that Teach received, he also gained a [Kobold Leader] title. Meaning, he is now directly above his subordinates. And the best thing about this is that none of the other kobolds hate him f

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
