Before anything else, an explanation is in order. Baphomet’s armors isn’t easy to break. In fact, it should’ve taken more than what Merlin did in order to accomplish this. But the thing is, Merlin made sure that he’d be able to deal damage to the demon.If you look back, Merlin attacked at the beginning of this fight as well. And he didn’t simply choose a random spot to strike. That’s right, the half-demon also struck the nape of Baphomet during that time. And though he isn’t able to cut through the first time, he at least got what he came there for – information.The purpose of his initial attack is to understand just how difficult it would be for him to break the armor. Furthermore, although not being able to damage the demon the first time, this allowed Merlin to at least leave a dent on the armor. Meaning, the next time he attacks at this very same spot, it would be easier for him to break it. That is exactly what happened. But aside from the information and the force that he use
Before the fight began, Merlin readied his weapons. Like he has always done, he made sure that all the necessary items are in place. The health and mana potions looted from the monster camps. The weaponry he’ll rely on. As well as the countermeasures that might be useful against the foe he’ll face.There isn’t the slightest bit of nervousness that Merlin can feel. This is not some unfounded confidence that he’s displaying. This stems purely from the fact that he is the strongest – earned through effort and a depth in game comprehension.Although he is starting over from [Level 1], all the experiences he built-up until that point isn’t lost. He has this with him and he intends to make full use of it in the coming fight. That being said, there is something that he placed on his daggers.Poison.The same poison that he used against the hounds is placed on his daggers. He dipped both of these in the liquid – using it up in its entirety. He planned to use this on Gerald but that needs to c
Trigger Warning: This chapter contains explicit violence. Read it with caution.………Right before the fight could end, Gerald and his scheming allies began to plan what they will be doing next. All of them has the singular thought of gaining all of the experience points for themselves. There is no thought of leaving Merlin alive at all. They need him dead.“We’ll wait for the moment before he delivers the finishing strike.” Gerald said. “It would be easy to attack him when he’s preoccupied.” “What are we going to use?” Jibril asked.It is the perfect time for them to talk because Merlin and the demon are still in the middle of a heated exchange. Surely he won’t notice us. Is the idea running through their heads as they continued to convene their plans.“You will burn him alive.” Gerald said. “The other attacks can follow, just make sure that you catch him inside your flames.”“I don’t have an attack like that though.” Jibril said.“Idiot. Use your saved up skill points and buy a use
Five Minutes.Merlin had to spend five more minutes after dealing with everyone in order to recover from the effects of his transformation. The recoil this brought is stronger than he anticipated. Making him feel every flesh he cut and every bone he broke. The pain is enough to make someone lose consciousness, but not Merlin. He’s used to this by now. All thanks to his former allies who made it their goal to torture him every day. Especially Arthur, a person high up on Merlin’s list of people to kill.Hence he’s able to begin looking into the rewards. There are a lot of things for him to sort because of this fight. And since his head isn’t entirely clear yet, he began with the easier tasks.[Notice: You have finished the Hidden Quest – Proof of Blood][Requirement: Kill five people in total.][Reward: Crest of Deprivation]That doesn’t sound good, are the words that ran through Merlin’s head as he read through the text. Deprivation is a negative word after all. But if it comes as a r
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
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
“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
“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
