2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as the meeting with the elder of the forest ended, Merlin and Sylvie went back to the dungeon. There’s a couple of seconds of silence that’s shared between the two of them before Sylvie finally bursted into laughter. Entertained by the recent events that have just transpired.
“Man...it really worked the way you said it would.” She said, removing a tear from her left eye.“Was there ever any doubt?” Merlin said in reply.It’s easy to see why the elf would find this whole thing comical. It’s because she hates ents the same way she hates regular elves. Of course the elves are at the top of that hierarchy but she also hates ents all the same. That’s why she’s overjoyed to see that Merlin has tricked the creature; though it isn’t really that hard to do as long as someone knows a certain trait of the ents.
These are fair creatures. The ents do not normally hold a

The Scorpion Troupe. This mercenary group is known all over the human continent of Adamus because of one thing, their skills. As a group they have taken down five high level dungeons, having only minimal help from other factions. All by themselves they’ve also killed a lesser dragon, a feat that cannot compare to killing a real dragon but, a feat worth noting nonetheless. They are also faithful to their employers. As long as they get paid properly based on the contract, then they will make sure that whatever they’ve been hired to do gets done. That’s how good they are. In fact, it’s known that all the jobs they accepted have been accomplished. Not a single one has been left unfulfilled which has helped in spreading a positive reputation for them.As the years passed, the group has also created smaller factions connected to them. The main group of the scorpion troupe has been sent on an expedition to the continent of the elves. And while they’re there, the human continent is left wit

Merlin and Sylvie stayed on top of the tree for a while longer. There is a silence shared between the two of them. And this isn’t Merlin’s doing. It is the dark elf that’s creating this. The demon can feel it, as well as the question that might be forming on her head. But since she doesn’t seem to have any intention of making it come out, Merlin took the liberty of asking it from her.“If you have something to say, I’m all ears.” Merlin said.“You know that I usually don’t question your decisions Merlin.” The dark elf said. “But do you really think he’d be okay all on his own?”“Oh yeah, you haven’t seen it have you?”Merlin is talking about the training of course. Teach has undergone long hours of training in order to get stronger. Strong enough to not be a burden to anyone. He has sharpened his skills with the basics. Thrusting his spear day in and day out just to make sure that he’d be able to ingrain everything into his body. That is the kind of dedication that the hybrid knight

The leader of the mercenaries came out casually from the shadows. No tricks, no cheap blows, just the man and nobody else. This felt weird to Teach who wanted to ask about it. Though there’s no reason for the leader of the mercenaries to answer his inquiries. That’s why he decided to simply keep his mouth shut. “You killed three of my men. I’m taking that as an indication that you’re prepared for the consequences.” The man said. He has buzz cut black hair and sharp black eyes. His chin is chiseled and his whole body has been formed for battle it seems. The muscles aren’t too swollen and are ripped to just the right amount. He has scars showing on the parts of his skin that are exposed as well. The most noticeable of which is a long one that stretches across the entirety of his arm. Something which seem to have been caused by a wild beast.Apart from this, Teach can see the weapon of his enemy. A short sword and a pistol. A combination that Teach hasn’t encountered yet with any of hi

[A Day After The Dungeon’s Upgrade][Inside the New Facility – Smithery]“My lord. You called for me?”Teach entered the new facility that was constructed quicker than any other. Merlin didn’t say this to Sylvie but the hot spring actually came secondary to this one - the smithery. This is because Merlin prioritizes the creation of gear and weaponry. Things that are of utmost importance for the maintenance of a strong dungeon.For this purpose, Merlin also created five goblins. All of which are units that are assigned to the smithery. Though they aren’t as good as dwarves, there is no choice in the matter because the latter mentioned units aren’t available for production. Although Merlin is the owner of a dungeon, there are limitations to what he can summon based on what type it is.Fortunately, Merlin has already found a way around this. The demon is together with the five goblins that he summoned. Wearing the same attire as them. With an apron on top of their clothing and goggles pr

Teach can feel power coursing through his body. The effect of the subspace caused this. The boost on his stats which gives him an edge against his opponent who feels the same amount, but as a drain in his powers.“You should’ve killed me when you had the chance. Now all that’s left for you is death.” Teach said. His real weapon now on his hands.This is also the reason why Merlin is so confident that Teach won’t die. He has an overpowered weapon with him now. A spear that will not break in the hands of Teach, nor will it work against his favor. It is his own body, his own blood. And this thing continued feeding the knight with mana. Drained from the surroundings where the subspace has been generated.“What makes you think that you can win against me?” Wick asked.Unfortunately, the subspace in itself is not enough to weaken the will of the mercenary to fight. Wick has the same posture a

Merlin and Sylvie followed in the cave as soon as Teach came out of it. The hybrid knight won and this caused a little exchange to go on between the demon and the dark elf. Something which Teach wasn’t able to see because he went straight back inside.“What’s up with him?” Sylvie asked.Merlin already has an idea on what this might be. The knight is fine after all. His body parts are intact; none of them are missing. He also defeated all the enemies which is shown by how he got out of the cave – the signal that he finished the fight. There are two other reasons that might cause Teach’s current mood.First is that he can’t find the treasure anywhere. Anyone would feel down if they can’t find the fruits of their labor anywhere nearby. But that can’t be the case for Teach since he’s never been a creature concerned with these worldly things. Though he’d still get affected by it in connection to his relationship with Merlin. He doesn’t want to disappoint the demon who is his lord and maste
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord A Laborus Labor
The second and third labor aren’t as problematic as the first. One of these simply required the planting of more trees to the nearby vicinity outside the forest. The reason for this is because the ent wanted to spread its influence further. As the keeper of the forest, its eyes and ears are only limited to, well, the forest.That’s why what’s outside of it is unseen to him. This is a problem because the elder can’t leave the forest as well. He needs to remain there, otherwise a new elder will be appointed by the forest seed. This is an automatic event and, the creature chosen will gain immense strength and wisdom as well. Meanwhile, the current elder will be stripped of these things.That is why such a position is held dearly. Nobody can argue that this is the dream of a lot of monsters. To be chosen by a forest as its elder. Only monsters can gain this position and whatever race claims it will inevitably control the entirety of the forest as well.Then there’s the third labor that’s
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Samira the Manticore
The manticore is a woman. A six-foot-tall muscular woman. With tan skin and golden-brown hair. Her eyes are of a gleaming yellow, with the pupils resembling that of a tiger’s. Instead of being fully gilded with armor, she lets most of her upper body show. With the only thing covered being the part of her breasts – gilded with fine armor. This isn’t because she wants to hide her chest but because she’s protecting a vital part of her body – her heart.If not for this weakness, she’d let her upper body show entirely. She doesn’t care about stuff like nudity after all. All the manticore cares about is battle and whoever it is that can quench her desire for it. That being said, she also has her lower body covered with leather pants. Breathable and stretchable and, is made from one of the strongest monsters that she defeated. Hence ensuring the durability of the said pants. Completing the look is her black combat boots. Matching the color of her upper armor, as well as her leather pants.

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
