2024-10-29 19:42:56A 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
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Two Saints
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
