A loud silence separated Octavia and Merlin. There are no words left to be exchanged between the two. The only thing that’s left is the fight that cannot be avoided. A way for Merlin to gauge the actual strength of the kraken who, in that same second of decision making, finally made her move.
The air seemingly ripped from the attack as Octavia blasted towards the demon lord. With this is the activation of all the tentacles nearby, slamming towards the same direction that the demon is on. Forcing Merlin to use flicker right off the bat to place himself out of the range of all the attacks.
A gigantic wave is created on the point of impact of Octavia’s blow. Followed by the slamming tentacles that recreated the same effect. Each of which increasing the size of the wave that spread across all direction. The speed f the attack forced Merlin’s hand once again as he has to activate the first stage of his transformation – casting:“That was really impressive.”Merlin at the corner of the [Hollow Arena], his back resting on a ruined wall from a makeshift city that’s been destroyed. Right in front of him is the Kraken who, began to wake up slowly – her eyes twitching and opening at the same rate. After a couple more seconds, she’s finally able to sit back up. Her body seemingly weighing a lot heavier than it should be with how sluggish this action is. Though Merlin understands that this is caused by the overexertion of the Kraken. The fact that she unleashed all of those attacks on him in a short interval means that she really has every intention to take him down.“You were really trying to kill me back there weren’t you?” Merlin asked though he already knows the answer to this question.“I have always been of service master. I have been under a lot of humans during the ages but, this is the first time that I serve under a demon.” Octavia stared into Merlin’s eyes. “I just wanted to see how different you are for
There is someone stronger than Merlin.There are ten of them to be exact. The saints of Adamus are all much stronger than he to the point that, no matter what tactic he use, he won’t be able to win against them. Other than their innate talent for combat and their high battle IQ, what makes these saints formidable is the fact that, each of them has been blessed by the heavens. Every single saint has a unique and overpowered blessing granted to them. Making them the epitome of strength that even the other continents fear.Proving this is the fact that, the reason why the other continents never bother waging wars against Adamus is because of the existence of the saints. That is how strong they are. The rulers of the other continents know that, should they lift a finger against this continent, then they will surely lose. All because of the combined strength of these saints.Though fear has driven them to this point, it is also fear that would make them gather up arms and work together in
[Neutral City of Palladium – Present Day]Right after the incident within Ptolemy, a lot of things happened. There is the rift created between the five kingdoms. There is also the preparations for the war that’s being hastily done more than ever before – caused by the fear of the demon lord whom they wish not to get any stronger than he already is.Wanting to eliminate this threat and rid themselves of the face of the mistake and blunder they made, the monarchs did all they could so the soldiers can finally march. With this comes a very busy schedule where they’re not even given the time to look at the progress of their sons and daughters anymore. Enough to make them disregard a lot of details and, enough to allow three individuals to get out of their respective kingdoms.Within a dark pub, three cloaked figures entered. Normally, this would not attract any attention but, because they’re wearing expensive cloaks, with lines of gold on them, the drunkards of the bar can’t help but take
The darkness that swallowed the three, for some reason, felt familiar. This reminded their bodies of something, though they can’t pin point what this is exactly. They don’t have time to think about this though. After all, in that moment, all of the darkness finally disappeared.The group found himself inside a seeming living room. The walls, the tables, the chairs and everything else within that room is made of wood. There are also plants sitting at the corners and in front of the door, the latter being the target of the three who looked at it with all the desire to take it and leave. Though that’s not going to help because, the one that summoned them there finally appeared.“Welcome.”The voice directed the eyes of the three towards the one behind all this. None other than Philein. The right-hand man of the creature lurking in the shadows. A man who’s also completely healed now. There’s no trace of the damage that’s done to him anymore.“Who are you and what are you planning to do wi
Three of the five kingdoms refused to cooperate with one another. Ten days have passed since the incident between the former members of Avalon and Philein and, during this time, the five kingdoms have steadily deteriorated in their relationship. That is, except for Luminium and Avarreh – kingdoms of the north that have always been closely knit that they won’t be unbound by such events.That is probably why, among the kingdoms, it is these two that are making the most progress in their advance. That’s right, they have already marched out of their kingdoms and have deployed a total of ten battalions. Scattered across the northern parts of the kingdom. Each having a reliable knight as the leader of the march with a level of at least [400].These noble fighters along with most of the knights and soldiers, all hail from Avarreh. Just like Helios, this kingdom prides itself in the production of top-quality knights. The only difference is that, the knights from Avarreh are also known for the
General Khanza stood on top of a tall mound of monsters that he himself created.The look of horror can be seen, painted on the faces of these creatures. These aren’t any ordinary monsters as well. They are [High Frost Ogres]. Monsters that share the same bloodline as regular ogres, with the difference being that, they are much more durable and has a higher defensive and offensive capability – owing to the [Glacial Shards] that are spread across their bodies.“That makes a hundred.” The general made a deep breath after swinging his cursed demonic sword over and over again.Just as he told the soldier who came to make a report to him, the general spent his time within the forest looking for worthy adversaries. This is easy enough for him to do because of his cursed weapon, a blade that reacts to strong condensation of mana within an area. The same tool that allowed him to navigate through the forest and find these current preys.Before reaching these monsters, he’s able to find a coupl
Gerant the Blood Ogre. There is nobody who does not know of this sovereign monster because of the influence and power it holds. This creature not like any of the other sovereigns. It is regarded in a higher esteem compared to Samira and, the reason for this is because of the legions of monsters working under the sovereign. There are all kinds of monsters that serve under him. The very same reason why nobody dares take over plague river and invoke his wrath because, the humans believe that this monster has the highest potential to become the next demon lord. Though they are wrong in this assumption because he did not become the next one. He serves under one. The same demon lord who sent him there to fight against the humans.“I’m sure you’d love to know how your allies died and, I’d be more than happy to share the secret to you.” Gerant began to suck all the blood within the area. All of the dead are his to command and from this, he’s able to create a horde of blood monsters. All bear
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
