Demonification. This is a concept that’s never been understood within the game of Requiem. There are instances where some players would be affected by a plague and turned into demons. When this occurs, they gain an immense boost in powers. But as a tradeoff, they forfeit all control of their character. Their avatar will move against their will until the Demonification ends – the time when they die.Within the game this means nothing since the character will simply respawn in the city. That’s why nobody took much interest in the Demonification itself. Because this plague doesn’t really affect them much and, there aren’t that many instances of these happening.
This is also the same reason why Merlin is unable to get much information out of it. With the randomness of those turning into demons and the short duration of the state, there’s no way that he can get his hands

“He’s really something else isn’t he.”Philein’s master sat on his high throne, watching the events within the fight of the demon lord against the two demonified humans. The two of them also watched as Merlin made a sight out of his targets. Binding them down and killing them slowly while talking with the master in the shadows. “Master, are you fine?”“Fine? Oh I’m more than just fine Philein. I feel fantastic.” The master’s lips widened into a grin. Philein has never seen his master in such a good mood. If anything it’s more alarming than reassuring. As if there are things that are about to come which shouldn’t yet. “We need to hasten with our plans, we can’t have him ruining anything before I get all the things I need.” The master said, confirming what Philein thought.However, it’s not like he can go against the wishes of his master. It isn’t that easy because his master will always push through with the plans that’s been set. “Yes master.” This is all that Philein said in repl

All of Merlin’s most trusted allies went back to the dungeon. They got wind of the news of Merlin’s disappearance quickly because they share a communication network. Linked by none other than Dirth the goblin shaman. A very useful creature that’s been of great help to Merlin’s territories as of late.Samira and Sylvie didn’t waste any second. They dropped whatever it is that they were both doing and went back to the dungeon without missing a heartbeat. That’s how quickly they returned and, as for Teach, well, the expression on his face paints the entirety of his emotions.Eyes looking on the ground, face paled with cold sweat running down his forehead. His hands are tucked neatly at the side of both his legs. He can’t even look at the two in front of him. Though he has to soon enough because Samira asked the first question.“Merlin’s gone?”“Yes…he’s missing from the hibernation chamber.”“What the hell were you doing? Isn’t it supposed to be your job to take care of this place?” Sami
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Coven
The Coven.This is the place where the monarchs of the five kingdoms come to meet for their annual summit. A large castle made of anti-magic materials. Preventing any of these monarchs from casting any life-threatening spells while, at the same time, making sure that no outside force will interfere while they hold their meeting.The high white walls cover the entirety of the structure, leaving only the top of the castle to be visible. And even this cannot be attacked for there is a barrier as strong as the one that defended Genesis City wrapped around it. This makes it almost impenetrable.This is also the place where the monarchs can hide in should there be threats to their lives from invasions or wars. That’s why the fortification of the Coven has reached a point where, even dragons have been tamed to defend it. All of which are waiting and slumbering within the walls of the same castle. Securing the monarchs who have begun their meeting.“You’re late.” King Mordred told King Pietro

All of the monarchs felt the tremor beneath their feet. Causing them to be on high alert. All of which drawing their weapons and pointing these at the other monarchs. Not knowing who it is that’s the cause of all this. And though this is the case, their instincts and their quick logic made them deduce a singular target – Mordred.“Did you plan all this?” Wolf asked. He’s the only suspect because, it’s this same monarch that planned the meeting. Nobody else knew of it because these royalties also vowed to secrecy. Placing a seal on King Mordred’s letter that placed them under a binding vow which safeguarded this rule.As such, nobody else should be aware of all that’s transpiring within Coven. That’s why the only suspect for all that’s happening is none other than the one who planned for this meeting in the first place. King Mordred Pendragon; the monarch of the Icy North.“Stop pointing your weapons at me.” The king said in a sharp yet calm tone. “I am not the cause of all this.”“Ye
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Ballistic
Merlin and his allies gathered around a table for a meeting. Within him are his four most powerful allies. Samira the Manticore, one of the four sovereign monsters of the continent. Dirth, the goblin shaman who has transcended the laws of nature. Teach, the kobold that cheated death and turned into a hybrid knight. And lastly, Sylvie, the dark elf who stands at Merlin’s side as his right-hand woman.In that same meeting, they all watched the events that transpired within the Coven. How the whole of it got destroyed by a burst of dark mana that came from the sky. While it is true that this place is heavily protected, it isn’t as impregnable as Genesis City. With the right amount of firepower, it can be destroyed. The only reason why nobody ever though of doing so is because it’s wasteful to destroy such a place while expending the said amount of resources. Nevertheless, Merlin still pushed through with it. Watching the feed provided to them by a Fae that’s sent in that location.Merli
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Elliot and Wolf
Elliot began preparing the things asked of him by Lazaro. Since his father’s kingdom is on the other side of the continent where Kraken is located, he is oblivious to the things that occurred. Especially since his time and attention are both solely focused on his training. To become strong enough so that, the next time he comes across Lazaro and the bastard provokes him, he’d be able to slice this person right through the neck. That is the end goal.That needs to wait though. For now, he needs to prepare all the items which Lazaro requested from him. Weaponry that’s only available in the kingdom of Helios. Daggers that release flames with every slash. Swords of ice that are able to regenerate no matter how may times they’re broken. Shields boasting of impenetrability that’s almost at the same level as Genesis City. And, lastly, leveling crystals. Items that add to the base stats of those who take them.He has no idea why all of these are needed but, if they’re going to help in order t
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Triumphant Dragon
Mordred is beginning his preparation for the war. The kingdom hasn’t been notified yet but, his trusted advisers are already with him. Brainstorming on ways on how they can defeat a demon that can destroy Genesis City, Kraken, and the Coven itself.Like any other kingdom, they are doing the right thing. The only problem with this is that, they don’t have a comprehensive idea on what it is that they’re dealing with. Other than the fact that the monster is a demon lord named Merlin Warlock who’s capable of annihilating a whole city in the blink of an eye, not much is known about him.An even bigger problem is that they have no idea on what forces he can summon into the battlefield. There are a lot of monster types across the whole of the continent. Though the efforts to subdue and minimize them has yielded much fruit until recently, all of them combined would still be a great threat to any and all kingdoms. Especially the forces led by the sovereign monsters.“What are we going to do my

In order for Merlin’s plans to move forward, there are a couple of things that has to be prepared. The dungeon’s defenses have to be fortified and, as this happens, the [Forge] will be working in full throttle as well. Making the armor and weaponry of the monsters that will be deployed for battle.The goblins have begun this and are steadily making progress. Owing to the fact that they’ve been given better items and equipments for the craft, they are now more efficient in the task. What makes them a lot better is the fact that Dirth is now overseeing the project. The goblin shaman has been tasked to be with these regular goblins, ensuring that they finish everything in time and, to do this, Dirth has boosted their capabilities with his spells. Granting them craft enhancements.Other than this, Teach is working with the kobolds to set the traps and the watchtowers that adds to the defenses of the dungeon.

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
