The fight between the demon and the manticore has reached its climax. Undoubtedly, Merlin will win this fight. Samira is already in a state where she’s waiting for the final blow. But there is still one more variable that can get in the way. Dirth. The goblin shaman is sharp as much as he is crafty. With all of his undying loyalty for Samira, he won’t let his master die just like that. He will do everything in his power to make sure that the manticore survives. Even if this costs him his life. Even if this costs him to be despised by his own master for the rest of eternity. That is how much he cares for the survival of Samira.However, there is something getting in his way.While Merlin fought with Samira, his allies, Sylvie and Teach were also busy. They are the ones who dealt with the goblin shaman Dirth.This is done under Merlin’s orders as well. He told them that the manticore might have allies nearby and that he can’t afford to lose his focus against such a strong opponent by h
Merlin sat with his back against a tree. He felt the exhaustion immediately rush throughout his body. The price that has to be paid for the second stage of demon’s rage is so high that his body began to tear apart because of it. This time around, health potions alone won’t be enough for him to recover. He will still die.What he has to use is an [Elixir].[Information: Restores both health and mana back to 100%. Removes all negative status effects and regenerates all wounds.]This is a high-grade item that not everybody has access to. The primary reason for this is the availability. The item cannot be easily found in any market nor is it a common drop for any monster that’s defeated. If it is, then that would be a cheat which can allow even the weakest of adventurers to go against a monster that’s three times more powerful than him and her. It is because of this potential exploitation that the item is not easy to come by. But other than this, even if somebody does come across it, an
Everything after Merlin’s last words is a bit hazy. Samira only saw a pitch-black darkness. That’s all that she can remember and, all that she expected to come across. But then, her eyes opened.It felt surreal, almost like it isn’t supposed to happen. It isn’t. She’s supposed to be dead. That is the only outcome that’s acceptable after a duel. One of the two parties need to die. And her, still being alive, is not an option.Is this a dream? She thought to herself as she continued to deny reality. The manticore tried moving her body and this gave her the idea that she’s truly alive. If she isn’t, then she won’t feel the pain that jolted through her entire body. Brought about by her mana veins that are still in the process of recovery.“Not a dream. Definitely not a dream.” Samira said as she slowly got up from bed. Everything after the fight is irrelevant to her. As far as she’s concerned, she’s already dead. There is no point to living now that she’s lost her purpose. Being the stro
While Merlin dealt with Samira, Teach and Sylvie are left in the training grounds. Developing their skills and harnessing their powers so they won’t get in Merlin’s way in the fights to come. The battle against Dirth was a great wakeup call to them. That there are creatures a lot stronger outside the premises of the forest. And these are creatures they will eventually clash against. That is why they can’t afford to waste a second. They need to get stronger like Merlin. Though the demon did tell them not to rush things just like him.Nevertheless, Sylvie still gave her best in that sparring session against Teach. The two of them exchanged blows within the coliseum of the dungeon. Both using their real weapons and both also donning their real armors. The hybrid knight actually didn’t want to go all out in the sparring because, well, it is a sparring session. But because of how Sylvie is pressing him, Teach has no other choice but to go full throttle as well.Every clash of their weapons
Teach told Merlin what happened. How Sylvie is frustrated with the decision that the demon made and how she fought the hybrid knight with every intent to take his life. That is how serious Sylvie was during that sparring session. But instead of getting stressed over it, Merlin chuckled. He didn’t think that the elf would see him that way. Merlin isn’t good with intimate emotions so he doesn’t understand these things. But apparently, with how Teach described it, Sylvie has caught feelings for him. And sadly, Merlin cannot reciprocate this. Because even before he became a demon, his heart is already cold. Though that didn’t stop him from meeting with the dark elf within that same day. “Hey.” Merlin said to Sylvie who is sitting on top of a tree.The dark elf went out of the forest as soon as the sparring session ended. She didn’t want to stay there in the meantime because, even after an hour of sparring, Merlin and Samira still haven’t finished. In fact, the demon ad the manticore too
Merlin called forth the meeting that very night. He didn’t want to waste any time. It is of the essence after all because of a little something that he did. This would be explained as the meeting goes on but, before that, it would be good to say who are present in that meeting.The first is Sylvie. The dark elf who has been of most use to Merlin’s dungeon up to date. The woman who manages the orchard of the dungeon as well as the master of dual blade wielding. She sits at the right side of Merlin, at the very front of the long table.On the left of this is Samira. Although she hasn’t done anything for the dungeon yet, her strength is enough to allow her to have this seat. Meaning she’s just as much of an important figure as Sylvie is. And the position where these two women are seated allows them to exchange sharp glares with one another. Neither of which is backing down.Meanwhile, Teach is on the side of the dark elf. Of course he doesn’t like the fact that he’s not the one seated at
Dirth the Shaman has a lot of useful skills up his arsenal. Most of which focuses on utility. If not for this, then he would’ve been able to defeat both Sylvie and Teach in combat. That’s how powerful he is as a spellcaster. Though he never realized this himself because he’s always had Samira as the point of comparison for his own powers.But that’s not what we’re going to talk about. The only reason why I mentioned this is because, within his vast array of utility skills, there is one that is extremely useful in terms of team fights – [Radiohead].[Information: Generates a mark for up to five allies. Mark bearers are able to share their thoughts with their allies and can also direct their thoughts to specific members if needed be. The link cannot be severed as long as the caster is alive and, this link lasts for half a day’s worth of time. After which the skill goes on cooldown for the same amount of time.]This handy skill is being utilized by Merlin and his allies at that moment. A
[Azazel Dungeon – The Day Before the Fight]After Merlin and Samira finished eating each other up in bed, they stayed there for a while longer. Merlin did so because he needs to clean himself and fix his appearance before going outside. While Samira is just there because she can’t move an inch anymore. Her voluptuous body is showing at all the good sides, teasing Merlin for another round in bed. With the upper part of her breasts showing through the blanket and her left thigh being exposed as well. Revealing the entirety of it, right before her pussy.On her face is an expression that is difficult to put into words. It can probably be interpreted as a look after an arousing time in bed for the first time. But it can very well be anything else. Though Merlin isn’t going to interpret it. He doesn’t want to and he doesn’t need to. The only reason he’s taking his sweet time before leaving is because there are still some questions that he needs answered.“How strong is the ent?” Merlin beg
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
