The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Trial by Fire
“That’s dangerous.” Merlin said as he continued observing the fight between Sylvie and Beatrix.He’s proud of her because of what she’s able to do. Although the dark elf is caught unawares in the middle of a large magic circle due to her focus being tunneled on countering the fireballs, she is nevertheless able to remedy this. The dark elf made use of the items provided by Merlin for her in that moment. Creating a living armor made of her own mana that sucked up more than eighty percent of the damage done by the barrage of Beatrix.As the witch mentioned, the magic circle cancels out any spell from being fired. But that doesn’t include item activated effects. Something which Merlin also thought of when he began preparing for the war and, even before this. He personally led the creation of all the equipments, items, and weaponry of his allies. That’s why it isn’t an exaggeration to say that Sylvie is twice as strong as she would normally be.That being said, the remainder of the damage

[Demon Forest – A Day Before the Kraken Duels]“You can’t win against her.”Merlin walked in the forest alongside Sylvie. The two of them have just finished looking at the preparations for the upcoming war. With the focus being centered in making sure that the monsters are well equipped and properly disposed for what is to come, as well as making sure that the surprises across the forest are properly set.“What? Why not?” Sylvie asked in reply.The thing they’re talking about is a fight between Samira and the dark elf. With the month that has passed, Sylvie didn’t just sit idly by and waste away her days. No. She did all she could in order to make sure that she’d get stronger. Strong enough to be worthy of being at the side of the demon lord and, though the current state of Merlin proves her even more unworthy, she at least wishes to hear that she’s now enough to defeat the manticore. But her ears are not graced with these words.“Samira is a bonafide warrior who’s also blessed with g
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Manticore and the Abomination
Samira left her ally with a bit of worry lingering in her mind. Though she knows that Sylvie is strong and perfectly capable, this doesn’t erase the fact that the dark elf is facing off against one of the four sovereigns. A monster that can basically fight on equal footing with the manticore.But she doesn’t have time to think of her ally. All she can do is trust in her ally because, she herself has her plate full already. Filled by her opponent. None other than the abomination that is Corpus.“Ha! This is perfect!” Corpus said as it got up from the rubble. Brushing away all of the sand and dirt that’s accumulated on him. “I’ve always wanted to prove that I’m a lot stronger than you!”The monster is large, much larger than what she remembers. That’s right. They already met before but, contrary to what you may think, this happened in the battlefield. Specifically, it happened on the abomination’s first attempt to fight and win against the said sovereign. An attempt that ended badly for
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Manticore and the Abomination II
“Well isn’t that interesting.”Just like the first bout, Merlin watched the battle of Samira and Corpus from the comfort of the high ruined walls. Unlike the first fight which had Sylvie at a great disadvantage against her opponent, this one is more evenly matched. Both fighters are sovereigns and, what’s more, they have a similar fighting style as well. Focusing on brute strength and close quarter combats.However, in the lore, Merlin knows for a fact that Samira is stronger. This has been stated. That between the monsters, Corpus is the lesser sovereign. Though that doesn’t make this fight any easier for the manticore. In fact, Merlin has a lingering thought in his head that things won’t play out the way he thinks it would. All because of the ominous aura that surrounds Corpus as much as it surrounds Beatrix.These thoughts occurred to him before the beginning of the fight. Now that it’s actually happening, he can see that his thoughts are right.Just as he expected, something reall
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Manticore and the Abomination III
“She’s losing.”These words came straight out of Merlin’s lips as he watched the fight alongside Sylvie’s Of course, both of his allies are placed on the same state. Though he can also tell who’s losing heavier. “She should’ve killed her target right at the start of the battle. There’s more chance for her then rather than now.”The demon lord knows that Samira’s aware of this as well. That she could’ve ended the fight even before it can properly begin. But this is completely contrary to her nature and, as such, isn’t something she would even think of doing. For the manticore named Samira is a warrior driven by the desire to find worthy opponents. That is the only thing that keeps her going.Though her loyalty is now to Merlin, this thirst of hers cannot be quenched. Merlin can’t tell her to stop playing with her food. That’s why she’s placed in the predicament she’s currently in. One where she’s being beaten badly by her foe. Although, this doesn’t raise any concern for Merlin at all
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Secret Training
[Ruined City of Genesis – During Merlin’s Hibernation]Right after Samira’s fight against Gerant, she went back to the ruined city with a brooding look on her face. Her loyal servant, Dirth, noticed this right away. This isn’t a look that Samira usually has on her face after all. That’s why this same goblin decided to take care of it right away.“Is something bothering you my queen?” The goblin asked.Their years together has allowed a certain level of closeness to be shared between them. This being to an extent where the goblin shaman can freely talk to Samira without worrying about what she might do to him.“Hey Dirth.” Samira began.“Yes my queen?”“How much stronger do you think Merlin would become after his hibernation?”This is a strange question. Samira has never been one to ask about the power levels of other people after all. She has always been more of a straightforward fighter. Her thoughts only being that of who she will fight and the excitement building up to the said eve
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The FInishing Blow
Final Fang.That is the name of the ultimate move that Corpus just unleashed. The name of this skill derives from the fact that it’s supposed to be as sharp as the fangs of a predator that will gnaw down its prey for the last time. A strike that’s made when the opponent is at their weakest – portraying that this attack cannot fail no matter what. A sharp and lethal strike that cannot be stopped by any defensive skill, no matter how strong. A stab which pours out an excessive amount of Corpus’ mana into it. All for the sake of ensuring that it will live up to its name as a “final” attack.Corpus has tested this out on a mountain which he forced to collapse after hitting it ten times. He also tested the move on a dragon that he forced to flee. That is how great this move is. That’s also why he didn’t want to use it one someone like Samira.He knows that it’d kill her that’s why it’s simply going to be a waste, especially since he can only fire this same twice ins a single day. Using on
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord On The Ruined Walls
Both of the sovereigns have been defeated. Each taken out by a single ally of Merlin Warlock who sees the whole ordeal as nothing more than an opportunity to make his allies stronger. Though this did lead to a lot of dangerous moments within the entirety of the bout, the fact still remains that his allies are able to win. That is all that matters.More than anything, this should serve to show that he is not easy to beat. That, even if his enemies lurk in the shadows and wait for an opening when they can attack, he won’t be defeated. He has countermeasures and, if they so much as take a wrong step, he will make sure that they pay for it with their lives.“That should teach them to think before they try and fight me again.” Merlin said as he got back to his feet. The [Kraken’s Heart] is still absorbing his mana at that moment but, Merlin is nevertheless able to recover ten percent of his mana. He’s also regained senses on the entirety of his body. Washing away the feeling of sluggishne

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
