The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Into the Den of Wolves II
[Den of Wolves]“So this is how it looks like.”A jungle. That’s where Merlin currently is. There are large trees all around him. Overgrown vines stick out of some of these. The faint sound of chirping birds can be heard in the background and the rustling of the leaves accompanies this. There is warm sunlight hitting parts of Merlin’s skin, penetrating from the gaps of the shade provided by the trees.“This doesn’t feel like my dungeon at all.” Merlin muttered as he looked around.He already knows that something like this might happen. The thing is, dungeon instances aren’t necessarily connected to the dungeon they are in. To be precise, these places are like separate subspaces that exist on their own. Hence the appearance of a dungeon instance, such as the one that Merlin entered, can have varying appearances.This might take longer than I thought are the words running through his head. The fact that this is called a den of wolves despite being a forest means that, there might be a w
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Kobold Named Teach
[Azazel Dungeon – Five hours after Merlin left]“Faster guys!” Teach said. “We need to finish this before the boss comes back.”Teach is talking in Kobold language of course. He is a Kobold Worker like the rest. But at the same time he is different because, among them, he’s the only one that received a name. This is important for monsters because there is a big difference between named and name monsters The biggest one is that, a named monster has higher stats compared to an unnamed one.Merlin can’t just provide one whenever he wishes though. In fact he didn’t even know how to bless a monster with a name at first. But his title as [Dungeon Master] helped with this. Allowing him to grant a name to one monster. This being only unlocked recently with the dungeon reaching [Level 2].Other than the stats that Teach received, he also gained a [Kobold Leader] title. Meaning, he is now directly above his subordinates. And the best thing about this is that none of the other kobolds hate him f

[Den of Wolves]“Okay, let me get this straight just so we have everything in order.” Merlin said under campfire.It’s nighttime already. Normally he wouldn’t use fire because it’d attract nearby predators. But from what the elf has told him, there seems to be nothing for him to worry about. Because other than the fact that the nearest wolf nest is nowhere near, this campfire is also built inside a cave – with the elf’s [Field of Invisibility] skill being used.[Skill Name: Field of Invisibility][Skill Type: Active][Mana Cost: 100][Cooldown: 1 Hour][Rank: E+][Information: Generates a circular field of camouflage around a five-meter area. Everything within the skill’s range will turn invisible. Sounds made within the field are also nullified to those outside it.]“You’re saying that you’re able to run away from your team because they basically laid you as bait for the hounds correct?”“Yes. That’s correct.” Sylvie replied. “They can actually take care of the lesser hounds quite ea
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Into the Den of Wolves IV
[Den of Wolves – Present Day]Merlin and Sylvie quickly made their way through the forest. The biggest influencer of their speed is Sylvie’s elven nature which allows her to commune with nature. This simply means that she can somehow “hear” the forest. She can tell easily where it would be dangerous and where it’d be alright to pass through.Though players dismissed this as something of a hidden passive skill, Merlin knows that this isn’t the case. This is a skill borne from the centuries that the elves spent within the forest. This made them understand the forest better. Moss, mushrooms, dried leaves, they see the same things that everyone else sees. The only difference is that they know what to make of these and are thus more sensitive to details.Utilizing these things, they continued on their way. With some information being exchanged between the two once again. This time concerning the entry of Sylvie’s group inside the [Dungeon Instance].“You want to know how we got here?” The
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Into the Den of Wolves V
Sylvie is a traitor. Merlin is sure that she is such because of a lot of contradictions that surrounds her. There is the group that she’s with. Even if she’s cast as a bait and set aside, Sylvie should’ve been able to find a way to get away from the lesser wolves that chased her because she’s an elf. This alone is enough of a justification because, as mentioned, elves can understand the forest.She also has the skill that she showed Merlin. An almost perfect camouflage that even hides sounds. And though scent is not part of it, this won’t be much of a problem if she’s able to mix herself together with plants of a potent enough odor. She didn’t do this and as if on cue, she called for help.Her cry is done on a spot near where Merlin which made it hard not to hear it, especially with how loud it is. That’s just the start. There’s the fact that she has been with her allies for more than a week inside this dungeon. This much can be considered true. And though Merlin began with a hypothes
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Into the Den of Wolves VI
[Den of Wolves – Present Day]The group that Sylvie left behind continue to journey on their own. There isn’t much progress to what they are doing because of the dark elf’s absence. Evident with the look that’s drawn on everyone’s faces. A static hopelessness like something you’d see from someone who’s given up.“Hey, how much longer do we need to walk Klyre?” Seelie, a blonde-haired priestess, asked. [Character Name: Seelie][Level: 35][Occupation: Priestess][Class: Healer]“Until we’re sure we’re in the right direction.” Sylas responded, a man donned in full armor. With the emblem of a knight embedded on the wrist.[Character Name: Sylas][Level: 50][Occupation: Knight][Class: Dual Blade]These are the same individuals who left Sylvie to die in the forest. Not knowing that all of this is nothing more than parts of the dark elf’s brilliant scheme. One which involved her freedom from slavery and the satisfaction of revenge that comes along with it.“That might take us too long do
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Sylvie Against the Bastards
Everything makes sense, until they don’t. The thing that happened to Sylas hand and what followed with Brandon are things that should never have even happened. They have a sniper who has a [Detect] skill after all. One which senses if there are any hostile threats nearby.But this skill has one shortcoming – mental fatigue. Although a passive skill, the potency of it actually decreases or increases depending on the mental fatigue of Astrid. This sniper has been walking for more than a week within a [Dungeon Instance] without any end being in sight. He has experienced sacrificing an ally for his own safety. He experienced the shifting of his allies’ attitude due to the same stress. Day in and day out they will fight monsters and all of this will simply repeat the following day.This is enough for Astrid’s mental fatigue to fall below safe levels. Something which the group doesn’t mind that much because they haven’t encountered any truly life-threatening danger within this dungeon. Not
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Curse
[Past – Sylas’ Pov]I am the strongest.You may think otherwise. You may even argue with me. But it doesn’t matter. Anything you say will simply humiliate you once faced with true greatness such as I – Sylas Wolfhorn. Son of the mighty count Regas Wolfhorn. Heir to the household that produced hundreds of fine warriors, but none of them is as good as me.From an early age I’ve been sent to Genesis City to study. Before reaching sixteen, I was already out of that place. I’m a prodigy after all so it’d be a waste to keep me locked up in such an environment. They all saw my potential for greatness and gave me what I deserved, a place in the ranks of the military.Everyone else thought that it’s because of my family’s connections that I got out of the Academy early. Saying that my father bribed some influential individuals. That’s not true of course. They’re just jealous because they will never be me. They will never have the things I do. Oh and, by the way, I’m also in the process of bec

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
