The following day, Morgause arranged a meeting with the lord of the city – Asther Longsword. The name itself is descriptive of the weapon wielded by this nobility. A longsword – the same weapon wielded by his entire lineage.The king is a tall man. Standing at five-foot-eleven with properly trimmed black hair and a beard that covers the sides of his well-defined jawline. His eyes are black and sharp in their stare and, his body is well built. Something which is attributed to the fact that he still goes out from time to time and does expeditions himself.There is no expedition for him today though. Morgause made sure that this meeting will push through because, it’s through this that she’d be able to show what is happening within the dungeon. The strange events that have caused Gerald and a lot more to go missing.As for the meeting, it is held in an open space. Outside the mansion of Asther to be exact. Within a small garden that is perfect for the elegance of Morgause. With beautiful
Teach entered the throne room without slowing down. As soon as he did though, he saw that his lord is in the middle of a transaction with a [Black Market Merchant]. A goblin to be exact wearing a long robe which hides its body, save for the face that has a large pair of round glasses over the eyes. A weird sight to behold since goblins don’t normally place anything on their face, much less do they cover their bodies the same way as this merchant does.[Information: A black market merchant appears to the throne room of the dungeon’s lord when it reaches level 4. Various goods are then offered to the dungeon’s lord. But aside from this, trades can also be done as well as the selling of materials to the black market merchant.]This creature isn’t the first to appear in the dungeon. One has appeared a day before as well. A merchant who seems to have been satisfied with the transaction that Merlin made with it. This is easy to tell because of the wide grin on the last merchant’s lips. And,
[Genesis City]Right after seeing what occurs within the dungeon of Azazel, Asther’s secretary - Junrio, arranged a gathering for every adventurer. The general public doesn’t need to be roused of this news. There’s no need to because this will only cause alarm and distress. And these are things that Junrio wants to avoid. After all, there shouldn’t be any cause for this especially since Asther himself will finish the dungeon.There is no doubt in his mind that the city’s lord is capable of doing so. The dungeon is weak, its rank could only make Asther break a sweat at best. That’s why he also doesn’t understand why there’s a need for the city’s lord to join this. But that’s not true. He knows exactly why Asther is joining it – interest.Asther is interested in this dungeon because of the feed that he saw as soon as the Faye created one. That of the screaming adventurers and the brutal killing of the orcs. But most importantly, the taunting that’s made by these same monsters. Recognizi
[Outside Azazel Dungeon – Woodland Forest]A group of around twenty adventurers got an early lead towards the dungeon. Right as soon as the reward money was mentioned, these individuals mobilized themselves. Wanting to get to the dungeon first and, of course, finish it first as well.With the sum that is mentioned, anyone will easily be led to do the same thing as them. In fact, they even spent on teleportation scrolls just so they could reach the middle of the forest right away. Getting them that much closer to the dungeon’s entrance.Now all that’s left is to actually enter it.“Come on guys hurry up!” The leader said to his allies.“Why are you in such a hurry? We’re already ways ahead of the rest.” Another one commented, being just as excited as the leader.“I heard the lord is gonna join as well. Once he enters it’ll take him a couple of hours to catch up to us. We can’t let that happen.” The leader said. “We need that gold.”“Then keep on running!” A third one jokingly said.Mor
[Azazel Dungeon – Present Day]It has been three days since I entered this dungeon. There have been…various things that have happened. Stuff that are heavy for the weak of spirit. I thought I’ve seen it all in my days as an adventurer. Death and, all the gut-wrenching things that comes with it in the battlefield. But this, this is far more.There are worms that carry distorted faces of humans. With eyes melting from the sockets and mouths that drool with excretes. Walls that can see…their eyes coming with every step we take. We tried killing these and destroying the walls. But none of that worked. The eyes would hide behind the walls every time and, we’d be left wasting our energy.There is the distant sound of laughter. That of children that echo throughout these dark and morbid corridors. And the stench…the stench is the worst of it all. Making most of us vomit just from catching a whiff of it for the first time…and no matter what kind of spell we used, this never went away.None of
Five days have passed since the adventurers entered the dungeon. Right after the first two suicides committed, things escalated rather quickly. With more cases of the same act and those of murder also being done. All because the minds of some adventurers have been slowly deteriorating these past few days. Reaching a point where there are those that can’t distinguish friend from foe anymore.Everything continued spiraling out of control from that point onwards. Things only got worse quicker and quicker. With acts of cannibalism and rape being added to the list of stuff that these adventurers have done. All because their mental state has reached its limit.All of this happened without Merlin having to lift a single finger. He’s just there on his throne room. Patiently waiting as the banshees continued their work of rotting the minds of their poor victims. And as mentioned, this went on for five whole days…until Asther finally broke through.It took him some time to understand what’s hap
[Azazel Dungeon – Present Day] Sylvie entered the throne room. A quiet place compared to the rest of the dungeon. The kobolds are busy after all. Doing the construction of the rest of the new facilities, as well as the harvesting of materials that are found within the dungeon.As for Sylvie, she just got back from doing something designated to her as well. It’s not done yet but it’s not like she can also finish this in a couple of hours. That’s why she’s there in the throne room. To take a couple of minutes of productive rest by getting some details from Teach.“Has he woken up yet?” The dark elf asked.She moved to where this person is. Teach is sitting beside a bed where Merlin is lying. The answer to her question is already clear. The demon’s eyes are still shut. But she still hopes that he at least opened them when she was gone doing her work. A hope that is shut down immediately.“No.” Teach said in a low tone. “My lord hasn’t made even a single move since the fight ended.”“Ho
Hey Junrio. If you’re reading this letter, that means that I fucked up. I fucked up hard. I know that there are a lot of things that can happen in a dungeon. I know I’m not invincible as well. One way or another, there is a chance that I’d die. Especially because of this eagerness of mine to always be in the front lines. That’s why I need you to hold me back every time.I know that’s not possible. You’re my secretary and I am the lord of this city. There will be times when I simply won’t allow you to get in my way. That is the kind of love hate relationship that we have. It’s frustrating for you, I know. Not to worry though. In my death, I leave the ruling of Genesis city to you, my dear secretary. You’ve been more of it than me anyways so I believe that role should be yours to begin with. I won’t take no for an answer as well. This is my last will and testament so you better respect it as my secretary.Please guide the city the way you see fit. And whatever it is that would eventua
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
