After an hour of interrogation, Merlin proceeded to torturing Elliot. While he did say that he would set the human free, there isn’t any mention of letting this happen before any form of torture. And Merlin enjoyed this very much. Feeding Elliot with as many nightmares as he wanted until the human finally broke down and fainted. It’s only at this point that Merlin finally set him free.Hence the event is over and now, Merlin has to face Sylvie whose brows are furrowed as she looked at him. Arms crossed as the dark elf waited for him to get nearer.“Did I do something wrong?” Merlin asked.“You should be able to answer that all on your own.” Sylvie replied. “Why did you let him escape?”Merlin didn’t explain this to Sylvie and Teach before he left the room. Of course he’s planning on telling it to them. But he just wanted to deal with Elliot first before doing so. And now that it’s over, the demon sat on the wooden stool beside Sylvie’s bed. Fully prepared to begin.“The main reason is
[Dungeon Upgrade in Progress.][Estimated Time Remaining: 1 Day]…Things didn’t go the way Junrio wanted them to. In fact, everything went downhill for him quite quickly. Even before the groups are deployed from every kingdom, Elliot is able to come back home. That’s’ right. The prince returned to the kingdom of Helios and information about it is currently being relayed to Junrio.“He’s what?” The lord of Genesis City asked.He’s in the middle of sorting papers concerning the death of the adventurers. Since a grand total of two-hundred and one died inside the dungeon, they all need to be properly buried. There are also the wills and testaments of these adventurers, things which have to be properly taken care of.Although Junrio wants to extract revenge, he does not want it to be in exchange of the detriment of the city. Asther gave him this role – trusting in his capabilities. And Junrio doesn’t want to betray this trust. Though he did stop working as soon as his trusted aid spoke.“
Elliot is received like a hero in his own kingdom. There is a great banquet that’s prepared for him and festivities are also prepared. The main form of amusement being the fights in the coliseum of the kingdom. Where some of the strongest gladiators of Helios are gathered together to test their mettle against one another.Blood painted the ground and the roar of the victors excited the crowd that cheered from the top of their lungs. The earth shook from the clamor brought by every hard-earned victory, twice if it’s the underdog that wins. Meanwhile Elliot sits comfortably at the viewing deck with the king and the queen who are his parents. Both of which come from a long line of powerful individuals.After what Elliot has gone through, he loves this comfortable change in lifestyle. The prince laid down on the chair comfortably as he held the waist of two ladies who are given to him for the occasion. Both of which are voluptuous and fine looking as well. Not suited for combat but very w
[Three Part Main Quest: Ruler of the Forest][First Requirement: Meet with the monster that rules over the forest outside your dungeon.][Second Requirement: Perform the labors requested by the forest elder.][Third Requirement: Claim the title of Forest Elder.][Quest Reward: Unbridled Dungeon][Quest Reward: One with the Forest]These are the quests that Merlin needs to complete. All three of them displayed in front of him as soon as he finished dealing with the pirates that entered his dungeon. The first part is easy enough to do. But things start getting problematic with the second part of the quest until the third.Thankfully, he has an ally whom he can rely on when it comes to matters of the forest. None other than the gifted dark elf that is Sylvie Windsith.“Remind me again why we’re having a stroll in the forest?” The dark elf asked.“We’re looking for the forest elder.” Merlin quickly replied. “Yes well, you see, it just sounds weirder now that you’ve repeated it.”Merlin k
When Sylvie arrived at where Merlin is, she found him covered in dark mana. Creating an aura that spread closely around the demon’s body. A bit loose but it shows more of the control that the demon is capable of. Because the dark elf knows of nobody else who is low leveled that is, at the same time, capable of what Merlin is doing. Unfortunately, she has to stop him from what he’s doing and, this she did by clapping her hands once.Merlin’s aura slowly faded. The eyes of the demon glowed in the neon green color that it has whenever he’s in his [Demon’s Rage] state. But even this slowly faded away as well. Reverting Merlin’s eyes back to their normal color – the same time that the aura disappeared completely.“What’s that about?” Sylvie asked.“Trying to get better at focusing my mana.”“By turning it into an aura?” Sylvie added in a form of question.“Part of it.” Merlin said. “If I can place my mana evenly across my body, I’d be able to go to the next level of my training.”“You know
There was a child.I could’ve sworn I heard a child saying something to me. I can’t understand it though. The words mixed into a mush that I can’t unbridle. And even this brief moment of clarity is quickly robbed from me as my mind sunk into the void. Unable to surface again.………Merlin moved along the lake inside the forest. The water is as clear as it was in the game or maybe even clearer than that. There’s a certain clarity to it that makes some parts shimmer when touched by sunshine. Merlin likes this because, in the game, water like this is potable. It’s clean. If there is anything that goes in and dirties it, as long as it isn’t to a large extent, the new water will wash away the impurities.He followed this for a while. About fifteen minutes to be exact. Until he reached a spot where there aren’t as many trees surrounding him. The perfect spot for him to fight his enemies.“You can come out now.” Merlin said.He’s felt the presence of these creatures before he went deep into
[The Following Day – After the Encounter with the Monkeys]Sylvie’s eyes squinted as she pointed at the item that Merlin’s holding on to.“What the hell is that?” She said in a questioning tone. As if she already knows the answer but refuses to believe that it is the right one. “Oh this?” Merlin looked at the staff on his hand. “I got it from my fight yesterday.”Merlin decided not to show it off when he returned back to the dungeon. He thought that it’d be best to show it to the dark elf the following day because, he also wants to see the kind of reaction she’d be making by seeing it on his hand. And judging by the furrowed brows that have seem to stuck on Sylvie’s face, it’s worth it.“What fight?” The dark elf asked. “You didn’t mention any kind of fighting to me yesterday.”“Do I have to?” Merlin replied.“You know, it doesn’t help that you’re answering my question with another question.” Sylvie said in reply.“Anyway, the staff is a gift because I made them surrender.” Merlin of
After three long days, Sylvie finally finished marking the entirety of the forest. There are carvings on trees placed on every location. With him and Merlin having to use up teleportation scrolls everyday just to get back at these locations and also go home to the dungeon. They can’t leave the place unattended after all since there’s still a chance for them to get attacked, a huge chance at that.Nevertheless, things did go smoothly within these days that passed. Merlin defeated as many monsters as he wanted. Along with this comes the demon’s better understanding of the speech pattern of the monkeys. He can’t use it but, he can at least decipher it based on the sounds they’re making and the actions that are aligned with these. This won’t be a problem if these monsters are in his dungeon. Since they’re allies, Merlin will be able to see a speech screen on top of them every time they talk. Making it easier for him to converse with the creatures. But he’s not planning on placing these m
