Both of the sovereigns have been defeated. Each taken out by a single ally of Merlin Warlock who sees the whole ordeal as nothing more than an opportunity to make his allies stronger. Though this did lead to a lot of dangerous moments within the entirety of the bout, the fact still remains that his allies are able to win. That is all that matters.More than anything, this should serve to show that he is not easy to beat. That, even if his enemies lurk in the shadows and wait for an opening when they can attack, he won’t be defeated. He has countermeasures and, if they so much as take a wrong step, he will make sure that they pay for it with their lives.“That should teach them to think before they try and fight me again.” Merlin said as he got back to his feet. The [Kraken’s Heart] is still absorbing his mana at that moment but, Merlin is nevertheless able to recover ten percent of his mana. He’s also regained senses on the entirety of his body. Washing away the feeling of sluggishne
Philein is able to escape the city, but not without suffering some damage. Half of his body has been burnt to the point that his flesh is exposed. His eyes are swelling so badly from their sockets that it almost looks as if these would fall off anytime. Various body parts are missing and, he can barely crawl on the ground.The surge of pain is unlike anything he’s ever experienced in his life. Even back on earth, he has never gone through something like this. He’s always had an average life. Not a good one but, not a bad one as well. He lived normally and, a lifestyle such as this has never known true pain…until that moment.“MERLIN!” His voice echoed through the pitch-black darkness, seething with rage as the exposed flesh of his burnt hands clawed the dirt on the ground. Digging as deep as they could while Philein burned the image of Merlin in his head – swearing to get his revenge for the humiliation that he suffered. Before that, he needs to survive first. That he did by using hi
[Azazel Dungeon – Present Day]Merlin gathered his most trusted subordinates for a meeting. Part of this are the ones that can normally be seen sitting at the same table with him. And apart from the usual faces, there is a new addition. This being one of the two remaining monster sovereigns. None other than Gerant the Blood Ogre. “Right.” Merlin took a quick scan of the room. Making sure that all the heads that are supposed to be there are actually there. “I guess this means we can start the meeting now.”“Before anything else my lord, may I just say it is an honor be part of this meeting.” Gerant said, getting all eyes in the room to look at him.“I forgot to say this but, you are not allowed to speak unless spoken to. That’s how this meeting goes in general Gerant.” Merlin replied. Brushing off the comment of the blood ogre completely. “Unless you have anything to say that’d be beneficial to the cause, I suggest that you keep those lips of yours shut.”“Y-Yes my lord. Absolutely.”
There is a method of summoiniung that is made available to the demon lord as soon as the dungeon reached its current level. Right now, his dungeon is already level thirteen. Merlin can’t get it any higher than this for the time being becuas,e unfortunately, should the enemies attack while the dungeon is upgrading, this will spell trouble for him and his allies. Especially sicnce all of the buildings are unacessible this time – a cause of concern in terms of production as well since all operations need to cease; including the creation of new wepaons.In any case, he doesn’t need to upgrade his dungeon anytime soon. It’s already strong as it is. Sure it can be a whole lot stonger at higher levels which, also allows him to summon more units that can fight for him. But as it stands and, with the number of titles he gained trhough hibernation, as well as all the upgrades, he thinks he’d be fine. Especially because he’s going to summon the Kraken now.[Altar of Heroes][Level: 5][Informati
[Kingdom of Luminous – Present Day]Herpastium Sinclaire continued her preparations for the coming war. Just like all the other monarchs from the other continents, she’s making sure that her kingdom is ready for the coming storm. Though there isn’t anything she can do much in terms of aiding in assault, all the support and healing needed by the other kingdoms can be readily provided by hers. That is how efficient her kingdom is.Though that’s not all that she’s preparing. Other than the fact that two of the saints are at her disposal, she is also preparing the host of the goddess – none other than her only daughter; Morgause.“My queen.”A soldier said who stood in front of a tall golden gate. This isn’t just a simple ornament built for show but, a thing that actually holds high value and significance. The golden doors are filled with holy mana. The same type of mana coursing through the entirety of the room that it keeps from the rest of the kingdom. A place that is separated from re
[Helios Kingdom – Present Day]Queen Herpastium sent a formal letter to King Wolf before she proceeded with her plans. Even though she’s eager to see the weapon, she can’t do so while disregarding common courtesy between nobles. That’s why she performed this action and, after three more hours, teleported to the city of Helios.Just like anyone else, she teleported in the middle of the city. This immediately made her feel her spine tingling. She has never been a fan of Helios kingdom. Not with their barbaric methods and their ideal to rank humans based on their raw strength alone. This place does not value basic etiquette nor does it hold any good regard for intelligence without brute force.“My lady, we should probably get going now. This place reeks of the scent of men.” One of the guards said. A woman who is also the queen’s personal knight – Lilith.“I couldn’t agree more general.” The queen said as she offered one more distasteful look to the regular citizens before walking away.
The two of them got transported right to the entrance of the kingdom’s forge. Unlike the other kingdoms where there is a bit of diversity in terms of the blacksmiths, in this kingdom there’s only one group. This is managed by the kingdom itself, specifically, it is managed by the royal family. With the second son of King Wolfhound being the head of operations. Someone who came to greet them at that moment.“My king, I didn’t know you were coming today. I would’ve made preparations.” The prince looked at Queen Hera.“Forgive me, I didn’t know that Queen Herpastium would be gracing me as well.” He knelt to the ground. Refusing to look either monarch in the eye.“You can stand up now son.” The king said which his son immediately followed. “This is my second son, Blaze. He’s got a knack for creating weapons and all those stuff. That’s why I assigned him here.”Unlike the king whose body has bulked up muscles everywhere, this son of his has more compact muscles. Not in any way weak looking
King Wolfhound returned to his quarters with a brooding look on his face. He’s moving sluggishly, having his sword right beside him which he doesn’t even bother hiding. Making the soldiers nearby think twice before even attempting to approach him.This temperament of the king is nothing new to the people who work in the castle. Though the kings hasn’t been in this state for a long time, it has become a bit more occurrent with this year. This being even more so after the declaration of war made by the demon lord.Hence, King Wolfhound returned to his quarters without any interruption. Nobody talked to him. That’s why he’s surprised to see that there’s someone in his throne room. Standing right by the window and looking thorough it. Not bothering to turn and recognize the presence of the king of that land and, the owner of the absolute authority placed upon that same room. A feat only possible because, this same disrespectful man is none other than Mordred Pendragon.“King Mordred. I’d
