The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Gerant's Advance Troop
[Earlier On - Before Samira’s Attack]Gerant sent an advance unit to scout the area ahead of time. The distance between the shaman leader and this scouting group is long enough that Gerant would need two hours of travel time to reach their current location. A good enough gap that ensures that, should the scouts get killed, then at least the rest of them would still be relatively safe.As for how the scouts are reporting to him well, the only thing they need to do is shoot an arrow to the sky. One that’s filled with flammable powder that easily spreads into smoke. This comes in varying colors and, depending on the color of smoke coming out, Gerant will know what his next move would be.This ensures that they won’t encounter any untoward circumstance where they have to fight in a disadvantageous situation. After all, the blood ogre shaman is a tactical monster. Even with all of the power he has at his disposal, he never disregards the need for a plan before entering into combat. Nor doe

[Earlier On - Before Samira’s Attack]Samira knew that things aren’t finished yet. Though she’s a brute who immerses herself in the thrill of the hunt and the battles that follow, she is, in no way, an idiot. Her vast influence over the continent allowed her to collect a couple of enemies along the way. She’s also able to distinguish the followers of these enemies and, the ones she just fought, looks like they’re owned by Gerant.“Dirth.”“Yes my queen.”After dealing with all of them, that’s when Dirth came down to the scene. The goblin shaman didn’t waste any time and went there quickly.“This looks like the coward’s work.” The manticore went to a corpse and examined it closely.“The markings on their face is enough proof my queen.” Dirth said, noticing the markings on the head of the abomination. How the whole of it is painted with red and in the form of a skull. The very symbol of the followers of Gerant the Blood Ogre Shaman.“He’s nearby?” She asked.“Wait. Let me confirm it fir
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Two Sovereigns II
There’s no other powerup that Gerant can make. This is t. this is his full capacity. Unless more of his followers die, he can’t get any stronger. But he’s not going to do this. He’s not going to sacrifice some of his followers just for the sake of getting stronger. Not because he cares for them but because he thinks there’s no reason to do this.Just with his form right now, he knows that he can already intimidate Samira. In fact, he thinks that she’s already shaking from fear. His blood powers increase in strength when he extracts blood after all. Increasing his stats to such an extent that he transcends normal reasoning. That’s why Samira’s words didn’t make sense.“Is that all?” The manticore asked.“W-What?”“I’m asking if that’s all or, is there something else up your sleeve?” Samira added in a dry tone. As if Gerant hasn’t done anything impressive.“You can’t fool me manticore. You can keep that brave front of yours all you want but we both know that you can’t win against me!” G
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Fakes
There are plenty of reasons as to why Gerant lost to Samira. The first is that he didn’t fight her as seriously as he should. If he sacrificed all of the monsters he brought along with him, then the fight would be more even right from the start. In fact, he has a great chance of overpowering Samira just from doing so.Then there’s the fact that his arrogance continued towards the entirety of the fight. Not using up everything in his arsenal and only releasing around forty percent of what he’s actually capable of. That’s why Samira had an easier time defeating him. In fact, for the manticore, it didn’t even feel like she’s actually fighting one of the three other sovereigns because, the amount of power released by Gerant is so low that she doesn’t even have to rely on her beast form in order to win the fight. She herself isn’t even on her best form since it’s daytime. Yet she finished Gerant in a breeze.But this dissatisfaction of hers quickly found its reasoning as her opponent bega
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord New Trouble Brewing
[Kingdom of Helios – Ten Days Within Merlin’s Hibernation]Elliot is going through hell. Literally, every day he spends inside the king falls nothing short of the category of torture. With the intense physical training to make his body as hard as steel. Followed by combat training using real weapons. Aiming to sharpen his senses by giving him the most lethal of situations. There are times when the wounds are deep. There are times when entire body parts are cut off and he’s left bleeding to death. But all of that is healed and fixed by the medic team of the kingdom that’s just as good. A group that reached a level of expertise because of the number of times they had to heal citizens of their kingdom because, even little kids have the tendency to beat each other up to death.Then there’s the mana training. Elliot is forced to diffuse all of his mana. Draining himself entirely and leaving himself close to fainting. He’s then made to drink a specialized fruit that restores his mana to fu
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord New Trouble Brewing II
Elliot immediately swung his axed towards Lazaro. No second thoughts. No hesitation. Just pure rage, placed into one attack that hit nothing but air. Cutting through the wind as the sound of it tearing spread along with the blast that reached the edge of the hall.“Woah, relax will you.” Lazaro said, reappearing at the other end of the room. Completely alive and without any signs of getting hurt from the attack Elliot released. “It’s not like I did it with any ill will or intention.”“YOU!”Elliot has no intention of listening to the lies of the bastard. His mind is already drained form the never-ending cycle of training. He is at his limit without any way to relieve his stress. And all of this pent-up stress of his finally found an outlet because, he finally snapped.“Elliot, come on man, calm down will you?” Lazaro said.“CALM DOWN?!?”Elliot released a large amount of mana that spread across the room. Red and hot just like Samira’s but, more intended and directed. Placed into the w
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord New Trouble Brewing III
Elliot escorted Teach to the front of their kingdom, all the way outside. From what his own father said, it is fine for the rest of this day’s training to be skipped altogether. An astonishing command for Elliot who has never gotten any time to rest even during the times when he almost died due to the same training. But now it’s being cancelled just because of Lazaro’s visit. “I should come here more often.” Lazaro said. “It seems like you need me to get some rest.”“Do me a favor and don’t.” Elliot answered.“Ouch. No need to be so grumpy you know.” Lazaro faced the prince of Helios. “I thought we’re already on the same side.”“I don’t know what you did to my father but, whatever it is, I doubt it’s anything good.” Elliot answered.The two of them continued walking down the busy streets of Helios. This is also Elliot’s first time getting out in a while. The fresh air and the change of pacing is a welcome turn for him. He can get used to this but there’s no way his father would allow
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord New Trouble Brewing IV
Lazaro deviated from the plan.His master never mentioned anything about going to Helios kingdom and imploring the aid of Elliot the Prince. There was never any order for him to talk about Merlin Warlock. In fact, he’s even told to keep his lips shut about his existence and that nobody else should be made aware that the Emperor of Requiem is still alive.But Lazaro didn’t listen. Call it mischievousness or call it his hardheadedness, the fact remains that he doesn’t care. As long as he doesn’t get caught by his master or that blasted right hand man of this frighteningly overpowered person, then there’s nothing for him to be worried about. And he made sure of this as well. That he won’t be caught by them.Lazaro took all the necessary measures in order to ensure that he can trick these two. He is an illusionist after all and, if he can’t do this much, then he isn’t much of an illusionist as w

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
