The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord A Brief Explanation
Sylvie already knew trouble is brewing even before Pietro’s group entered the dungeon. As a dark elf, she has a certain connection to any plant that she touches. And as long as she is in a certain proximate range from any of these plants, she will get a notification once anything happens to them. This might seem incredible but all it really does is tell her if one of these plants died. That’s all and, this is the very same reason why Sylvie has always seen it as a useless skill. It doesn’t seem to bring anything to the table. Just a cheap party trick that she can brag about whenever she faces non-elves. But Merlin taught her the true value of this. Something which happened a day before Asther and the adventurers launched their attack.[Azazel Dungeon – Sylvie’s Garden]“So, this whole place is going to be mine huh.” Sylvie took a look around the entirety of the place. It is a vast area within the dungeon that comprises two rooms. One being the place where the garden will be raised a
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Mind Games
There are a couple of things that Sylvie made use of in order to get an advantage early on. First are the plants. Using the radar that’s now enhanced, she’s able to pick up that there are individuals outside the dungeon. Smart ones to be exact as they’re able to pick up the trap that she and Merlin left behind. After they closed and sealed the trap, Sylvie even added an extra layer of concealment in order to further enhance the shrouding. However, this is still not enough to fool the new enemies. Ones which even destroyed the trap altogether which Sylvie is also notified of as well.That’s why she immediately mobilized everyone. The three banshees for a stronger illusion and Teach who will act as support fire. The dark elf already knows that there will be trouble. And though she isn’t exactly sure how much trouble this would be, it’s better to be overprepared for stuff like these than to be caught off guard by the opponents.That’s why she’s able to win in the first exchange. With th
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Abruptly Raising the Curtains
Pietro and the others watched the fight unfold from a safe distance. Right inside the barrier that has yet to be broken. Nor does it look like it will be broken anytime soon as well. Pietro believes this entirely and, is calmly watching the fight in front of them that’s about to unfold. One which only involves the boss monster of the dungeon and, their party member Killian. Though one of them seem to disagree with this decision.“What are you thinking?” Kulxa grabbed Pietro by the collar, almost lifting him up if not for the man’s own force stopping him. “Why would you send him alone?”“So you don’t want him dead?” Pietro asked.“Oh he’s the first that I want dead.” Kulxa said as she let go of their leader. “But that doesn’t mean I’ll just send him to his death when he’s still useful.”“Relax. He’s not going to die.” Pietro stated.“What makes you say that?” Syx asked.“Just a gut feeling.” Pietro said as he drew his attention back towards the fight. The enemy is dispersing spears out
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Chatter and Action
“Man…”Sylvie watched as Killian lowered his daggers. Not as a form of acting so he can launch a surprise attack. Nor is it any kind of misdirection on his part. He’s just doing so because of a thought that the dark elf can read in the human’s head – disappointment.“What is it?” Pietro asked. “Are you feeling sorry for her?”“Huh?” Killian’s eyes squinted. As if the most atrocious thing has been suggested to him. “Why would I feel sorry for my prey?”“Then what’s bothering you?” The dark elf is a bit annoyed by the fact that her opponents aren’t even paying attention to her. And this just shows how true the gap in their strength is. Because if Sylvie can feel it, then these humans would definitely be able to do so as well. Her opponents have gauged her skill. To be more precise, the leader of the group, the one holding the spear, has done this.Though this isn’t a bad thing at all. Far from it, this will be useful later on in the fight. That is, assuming that the fight would even la
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Against Pietro
Sylvie and Teach can feel an ominous air inside the blue space. They aren’t drowned but, for some reason, they can feel their bodies being drenched in water as well. A feeling that also brought a seeming cold that wrapped them in their entirety. The same cold that one would feel when dipping in the ocean when the sun is about to set.“I’d love to give you an explanation on what this whole place is and what it’s capable of but, I’m afraid that you might suddenly attack me mid-sentence.”Teach threw a mana infused spear towards the enemy. Pietro dodged this with ease but, it is then followed by more spears that shot from the ground. An attack that missed its mark due to a protective barrier that suddenly appeared around the pirate. But that’s just the beginning of the attack.Sylvie is already mid-air, both her blades completely charged. And she released both in full swing. Maximizing the amount of mana placed in the weapons that collided with the barrier. Enough to finally break it…th
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Resurrection
[System Update Finished.][The new features are now integrated.][Consciousness is being returned to the New World.]………Sylvie waited for death to meet her. She waited for everything to end with the final strike of her opponent. She does not know what lies beyond death nor if there is actually anything beyond it. But she does not care to think about bit anymore and, it’s probably good that she didn’t because, at that moment, Merlin arrived.It isn’t a dream. Nor is it a hallucination. A dream wouldn’t have blocked the attack of Pietro and sent the mana from this blow flying up the ceiling. Nor will a dream make her feel the mana emanating from the demon. A miasmic mana that she has felt ever since Merlin was sleeping. A powerful dark mana that has continued to grow and, is now showing its completion.A black armor covers the entirety of Merlin’s body. Not a heavy set of equipment but a seemingly light one. With the edges and some of the design being filled by a glowing green mana.
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Attending to the Wounds
Merlin watched as Sylvie slowly woke up from her sleep. She groaned a lot while he healed her and, now that its finished, she groans even more still. Not that he’s complaining though. The dark elf has every right to do so with how much she’s been hurt because of the fight. Her face isn’t bruised that much though, the only thing that he had trouble healing through are the holes created by the multiple spear stabs. But even this is only a slight problem for him. After the incident with Teach, Merlin told his kobolds to build the next necessary facility. A healing center within the dungeon. This is prioritized and, because of this, the facility has finished construction right away. Allowing the use of it in that specific moment.Even if this place is called as such, there’s not much inside of it. There are a couple of beds and, on these are the mana crystals that are specialized for bringing comfort to those lying on them. There are also mana crystals that aid in the regeneration proces
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Backstory (Elliot's PoV)
I’m pissed.I got scolded by my father again. The third time that it’s happened this month. And it’s not even my fault! It’s the fault of those useless players that he paired with me. That’s the only reason I’d lose to the likes of Merlin. If only they can block all of his spells, then I’d be able to hit him from a safe distance using my own sorcery.That’s right! I use magic as well. But not the same as this mediocre person who claims to be the strongest. He’s not even anywhere near how powerful I am! He knows it as well – that he can never reach the same level as me.I know that because he told me once to quit imbuing magic into my archery. He told me that it’s a waste because my skill combination is stupid. As well as the pairing of my first and secondary job class. I beat him up because of it of course. I put him in the training room and gave him a dose of kobold blood. Enough to leave him gasping for breath. Enough to make him put his hand on his chest, gripping on to it so hard

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
