The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Monkeys
There was a child.I could’ve sworn I heard a child saying something to me. I can’t understand it though. The words mixed into a mush that I can’t unbridle. And even this brief moment of clarity is quickly robbed from me as my mind sunk into the void. Unable to surface again.………Merlin moved along the lake inside the forest. The water is as clear as it was in the game or maybe even clearer than that. There’s a certain clarity to it that makes some parts shimmer when touched by sunshine. Merlin likes this because, in the game, water like this is potable. It’s clean. If there is anything that goes in and dirties it, as long as it isn’t to a large extent, the new water will wash away the impurities.He followed this for a while. About fifteen minutes to be exact. Until he reached a spot where there aren’t as many trees surrounding him. The perfect spot for him to fight his enemies.“You can come out now.” Merlin said.He’s felt the presence of these creatures before he went deep into

[The Following Day – After the Encounter with the Monkeys]Sylvie’s eyes squinted as she pointed at the item that Merlin’s holding on to.“What the hell is that?” She said in a questioning tone. As if she already knows the answer but refuses to believe that it is the right one. “Oh this?” Merlin looked at the staff on his hand. “I got it from my fight yesterday.”Merlin decided not to show it off when he returned back to the dungeon. He thought that it’d be best to show it to the dark elf the following day because, he also wants to see the kind of reaction she’d be making by seeing it on his hand. And judging by the furrowed brows that have seem to stuck on Sylvie’s face, it’s worth it.“What fight?” The dark elf asked. “You didn’t mention any kind of fighting to me yesterday.”“Do I have to?” Merlin replied.“You know, it doesn’t help that you’re answering my question with another question.” Sylvie said in reply.“Anyway, the staff is a gift because I made them surrender.” Merlin of
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Forest Arc II
After three long days, Sylvie finally finished marking the entirety of the forest. There are carvings on trees placed on every location. With him and Merlin having to use up teleportation scrolls everyday just to get back at these locations and also go home to the dungeon. They can’t leave the place unattended after all since there’s still a chance for them to get attacked, a huge chance at that.Nevertheless, things did go smoothly within these days that passed. Merlin defeated as many monsters as he wanted. Along with this comes the demon’s better understanding of the speech pattern of the monkeys. He can’t use it but, he can at least decipher it based on the sounds they’re making and the actions that are aligned with these. This won’t be a problem if these monsters are in his dungeon. Since they’re allies, Merlin will be able to see a speech screen on top of them every time they talk. Making it easier for him to converse with the creatures. But he’s not planning on placing these m

The forest is located on the northern side. The official name of this place is [Wisp Forest] due to the high number of wisps that thrive in this place. Monsters that aren’t harmful and, at the same time, do not even contribute much experience points. That’s why they are simply left to their own devices. And these creatures come in the form of small, pebble like, orbs that glow in the color of whatever mana it is that’s inherent in them.Although placed on the northern side, the forest is pretty far from both the kingdom of Avarreh and the kingdom of Luminium. That’s why Merlin doesn’t have to worry about getting into conflict with either kingdom. An important thing to note because, the domain sits just at the outskirts of the forest.Fortunately, he and Sylvie didn’t have to walk far. Because of the teleportation locations that they’ve set up, the two are easily able to reach the middle of the forest. And from that point, they continued walking. Until they reached their destination. A
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The First Labor I
As soon as the meeting with the elder of the forest ended, Merlin and Sylvie went back to the dungeon. There’s a couple of seconds of silence that’s shared between the two of them before Sylvie finally bursted into laughter. Entertained by the recent events that have just transpired.“Man...it really worked the way you said it would.” She said, removing a tear from her left eye.“Was there ever any doubt?” Merlin said in reply.It’s easy to see why the elf would find this whole thing comical. It’s because she hates ents the same way she hates regular elves. Of course the elves are at the top of that hierarchy but she also hates ents all the same. That’s why she’s overjoyed to see that Merlin has tricked the creature; though it isn’t really that hard to do as long as someone knows a certain trait of the ents.These are fair creatures. The ents do not normally hold a
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The First Labor II
The Scorpion Troupe. This mercenary group is known all over the human continent of Adamus because of one thing, their skills. As a group they have taken down five high level dungeons, having only minimal help from other factions. All by themselves they’ve also killed a lesser dragon, a feat that cannot compare to killing a real dragon but, a feat worth noting nonetheless. They are also faithful to their employers. As long as they get paid properly based on the contract, then they will make sure that whatever they’ve been hired to do gets done. That’s how good they are. In fact, it’s known that all the jobs they accepted have been accomplished. Not a single one has been left unfulfilled which has helped in spreading a positive reputation for them.As the years passed, the group has also created smaller factions connected to them. The main group of the scorpion troupe has been sent on an expedition to the continent of the elves. And while they’re there, the human continent is left wit

Merlin and Sylvie stayed on top of the tree for a while longer. There is a silence shared between the two of them. And this isn’t Merlin’s doing. It is the dark elf that’s creating this. The demon can feel it, as well as the question that might be forming on her head. But since she doesn’t seem to have any intention of making it come out, Merlin took the liberty of asking it from her.“If you have something to say, I’m all ears.” Merlin said.“You know that I usually don’t question your decisions Merlin.” The dark elf said. “But do you really think he’d be okay all on his own?”“Oh yeah, you haven’t seen it have you?”Merlin is talking about the training of course. Teach has undergone long hours of training in order to get stronger. Strong enough to not be a burden to anyone. He has sharpened his skills with the basics. Thrusting his spear day in and day out just to make sure that he’d be able to ingrain everything into his body. That is the kind of dedication that the hybrid knight
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The First Labor IV
The leader of the mercenaries came out casually from the shadows. No tricks, no cheap blows, just the man and nobody else. This felt weird to Teach who wanted to ask about it. Though there’s no reason for the leader of the mercenaries to answer his inquiries. That’s why he decided to simply keep his mouth shut. “You killed three of my men. I’m taking that as an indication that you’re prepared for the consequences.” The man said. He has buzz cut black hair and sharp black eyes. His chin is chiseled and his whole body has been formed for battle it seems. The muscles aren’t too swollen and are ripped to just the right amount. He has scars showing on the parts of his skin that are exposed as well. The most noticeable of which is a long one that stretches across the entirety of his arm. Something which seem to have been caused by a wild beast.Apart from this, Teach can see the weapon of his enemy. A short sword and a pistol. A combination that Teach hasn’t encountered yet with any of hi

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
