The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Fighting the Hounds
“Don’t break the formation!”Gerald shouted as [Shadow Hounds] dashed left and right. Beasts as tall as regular K9 dogs, but packed with more raw power than a wolf. These are quick as well – barely visible through the light provided by the torches that Gerald’s group created.[Creature Name: None][Type: Hound][Specification: Shadow Hound][Level: 8][Information: Monsters that pride themselves in their speed within closed spaces. Due to their pitch black fur, these monsters become deadlier in the dark or in poorly lit areas. Having a natural camouflage that they use to their advantage.]A shadow hound moved quicker than the rest. It found the opportunity that it wanted and poised to strike. Only to be stopped by a dagger finding its way under the creature; slicing through the belly as blood sprayed and the fallen body of the hound tumbled a couple of times before reaching a spot where the light of the torches doesn’t reach.“Good work Zack!” Gerald remarked. “Everyone, follow our le
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Second Round
“That’s it guys! Just a bit more push and we’ll win!” Gerald encouraged them.It’s not like he’s lying as well. They really are winning. There are a total of fifteen hounds on their side when they began this fight. Three of which got burned right away. Another one got injured with arrows and, another one got slashed by Gerald himself.This left them with only ten more hounds to deal with. This made this fight easier, especially because the monsters do not have their beloved darkness that they can use to conceal themselves. But since Gerald wanted to show off to Merlin, he did a couple of things that made the fight difficult.Gerald’s presence in the frontlines actually makes it difficult for the fireballs and the arrows to be released. This is because there is the possibility of him being hit. It would be a bad thing if they hit him because, this could lead to worse circumstance. Where their leader gets bitten by the hounds and surrounded. At that point there will be nothing that they
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Lies Over Meal
The day passed without much incident. The group decided to make a camp in a covered area nearby, with large rocks covering both the left and the right side. It’s not a complete block. Otherwise, there would be no path. It’s just enough to hide the group while giving them a line of defense in case monsters attack.The one who chose this spot is Merlin. He told his allies they needed at least a couple hours of rest before continuing their journey. A reasonable enough suggestion that Gerald took it. This former vanguard of Avalon has nothing against the idea because even he is tired from all the walking that they’ve done.That’s the only thing they did. Walk. There isn’t a single monster camp that they came across, and this is because of the map they gained as loot from the hounds. One which showed them where more monsters would be located. Merlin has his own copy of such a map, acquired in the same manner as his allies.“That was exhausting.” Gerald said as he slumped to the ground. “Le
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord A Sub Quest
[A Sub-Quest has been added][Sub-Quest – Hound Slayer][Grade: E][Information: One hound was able to escape during the earlier skirmish. This came back to the main nest of the hounds for backup. Your group will be hunted down by the hounds in 2 hours.][Requirement: Defeat all the hounds.][Reward: Map and key towards the den of wolves][Reward: 1000 experience points]These appeared as soon as Merlin finished talking with Gerald. It isn’t a notification that came out at that exact moment though. This came along with other notifications that have been left unopened by Merlin. Doing so by utilizing the [Do Not Disturb – DND] function. Allowing him to be left undisturbed all this time.“Great. Now I have this to think about.” Merlin said as he looked at the camp.Of course he’s going to fulfill this quest. Earning a thousand experience points instantly on his first day in New Earth isn’t something he’s just gonna allow to pass him by. But before this, he needs to sort the things that
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Of Dens and Hounds
Merlin began to act during his shift in the night. There are only two hours for him to work with so he needs to be quick with what he does. A factor which he also took into consideration when he looked at where the hound nest is located on the map. The place is not that far. Twenty minutes of walking will allow him to reach it and, if he’s a bit faster, he can probably reach it in fifteen. This also means that the place is not that far from their camp. But he already placed this into consideration as well or rather, the quest did this for him.When he accepted this quest, an item was also given. An [Area Lock Scroll], an item which prevents any noise or movement from a certain area reach outside. With an item such as this, there is a surety that Merlin can fight without disturbing the slumber of his alliesSo the demon moved. And he moved with paced steps. Tracking his location on the map and looking at how far the hound nest still is. There’s no need for him to use a torch since he

You might be thinking about what it is that actually happened in that fight. You’d understand it if you look back at all the items that Merlin has showed us though. But I won’t make your life difficult and simply hand it down to you. I’m sure that we all deserve an explanation to what happened.There is no cheat or anything else that was used. No stroke of luck that was relied upon as well. All of this is merely a result of Merlin thinking far ahead before the fight could even begin. The knives that he used, although not being much in terms of damage and accuracy, has been turned lethal through a simple addition – kobold blood.That’s right. Merlin coated each knife in kobold blood and to preserve this, he placed the items in his inventory, ensuring that this will still be in liquid form once used. And as already mentioned, this is lethal. Kobold blood is dangerous for a wide variety of creatures, especially those that do not possess any poison or ailment decrease.Hounds fall into th
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Spoils of Battle
[You have completed the sub quest – Hound Slayer][You have leveled up!][You have leveled up!][You are now level 10]Merlin sat at the middle of the empty battlefield to rest. Even though he wants to come back to the camp right away, he figured he should have some time to rest first. A good time for him to look at what this fight produced for him as well. Beginning with the completion of the recently added sub quest. The levels are produced by the experience points he gained from the later part of this fight, as well as the reward from the sub quest. These combined allowed him to reach the same level as the highest leveled member of their party – Zeke. But this isn’t the only reward waiting for him. There are others.[You acquired a map and key towards the Den of Wolves.][Would you like to integrate it?]The item appeared in front of him at that moment. Merlin looked at his prize with great satisfaction and delight. It’s not everyday that such a useful item becomes available.“Yes
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Gerald's PoV
This is becoming more and more annoying. There’s a lot of walk that’s involved and I don’t like it. I didn’t start from the bottom like these plebians after all. I am a chosen one. My father gave me the privileges that I deserved right from the start. He bought me all the top tier equipment and gilded me with all the resources required for me to spike through to the top.But that isn’t the same in this bloody world. I don’t know what happened but all of a sudden, everything began to change around us. The world crumbled and, data seemed to merge with reality, then there’s the gigantic loading screen that everyone saw as well. With words that go like:[Merging Requiem’s resources please wait…]It didn’t make sense to anyone. Of course the world government tried to stop it but there was nothing they could do. Even they are powerless in front of a phenomenon they cannot understand.That’s how things came to be. That’s how the whole world changed into Requiem, molded into this bloody game.

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
