“Now this is interesting.”Demonification. This is a concept that’s never been understood within the game of Requiem. There are instances where some players would be affected by a plague and turned into demons. When this occurs, they gain an immense boost in powers. But as a tradeoff, they forfeit all control of their character. Their avatar will move against their will until the Demonification ends – the time when they die.Within the game this means nothing since the character will simply respawn in the city. That’s why nobody took much interest in the Demonification itself. Because this plague doesn’t really affect them much and, there aren’t that many instances of these happening.This is also the same reason why Merlin is unable to get much information out of it. With the randomness of those turning into demons and the short duration of the state, there’s no way that he can get his hands
“He’s really something else isn’t he.”Philein’s master sat on his high throne, watching the events within the fight of the demon lord against the two demonified humans. The two of them also watched as Merlin made a sight out of his targets. Binding them down and killing them slowly while talking with the master in the shadows. “Master, are you fine?”“Fine? Oh I’m more than just fine Philein. I feel fantastic.” The master’s lips widened into a grin. Philein has never seen his master in such a good mood. If anything it’s more alarming than reassuring. As if there are things that are about to come which shouldn’t yet. “We need to hasten with our plans, we can’t have him ruining anything before I get all the things I need.” The master said, confirming what Philein thought.However, it’s not like he can go against the wishes of his master. It isn’t that easy because his master will always push through with the plans that’s been set. “Yes master.” This is all that Philein said in repl
All of Merlin’s most trusted allies went back to the dungeon. They got wind of the news of Merlin’s disappearance quickly because they share a communication network. Linked by none other than Dirth the goblin shaman. A very useful creature that’s been of great help to Merlin’s territories as of late.Samira and Sylvie didn’t waste any second. They dropped whatever it is that they were both doing and went back to the dungeon without missing a heartbeat. That’s how quickly they returned and, as for Teach, well, the expression on his face paints the entirety of his emotions.Eyes looking on the ground, face paled with cold sweat running down his forehead. His hands are tucked neatly at the side of both his legs. He can’t even look at the two in front of him. Though he has to soon enough because Samira asked the first question.“Merlin’s gone?”“Yes…he’s missing from the hibernation chamber.”“What the hell were you doing? Isn’t it supposed to be your job to take care of this place?” Sami
The Coven.This is the place where the monarchs of the five kingdoms come to meet for their annual summit. A large castle made of anti-magic materials. Preventing any of these monarchs from casting any life-threatening spells while, at the same time, making sure that no outside force will interfere while they hold their meeting.The high white walls cover the entirety of the structure, leaving only the top of the castle to be visible. And even this cannot be attacked for there is a barrier as strong as the one that defended Genesis City wrapped around it. This makes it almost impenetrable.This is also the place where the monarchs can hide in should there be threats to their lives from invasions or wars. That’s why the fortification of the Coven has reached a point where, even dragons have been tamed to defend it. All of which are waiting and slumbering within the walls of the same castle. Securing the monarchs who have begun their meeting.“You’re late.” King Mordred told King Pietro
All of the monarchs felt the tremor beneath their feet. Causing them to be on high alert. All of which drawing their weapons and pointing these at the other monarchs. Not knowing who it is that’s the cause of all this. And though this is the case, their instincts and their quick logic made them deduce a singular target – Mordred.“Did you plan all this?” Wolf asked. He’s the only suspect because, it’s this same monarch that planned the meeting. Nobody else knew of it because these royalties also vowed to secrecy. Placing a seal on King Mordred’s letter that placed them under a binding vow which safeguarded this rule.As such, nobody else should be aware of all that’s transpiring within Coven. That’s why the only suspect for all that’s happening is none other than the one who planned for this meeting in the first place. King Mordred Pendragon; the monarch of the Icy North.“Stop pointing your weapons at me.” The king said in a sharp yet calm tone. “I am not the cause of all this.”“Ye
Merlin and his allies gathered around a table for a meeting. Within him are his four most powerful allies. Samira the Manticore, one of the four sovereign monsters of the continent. Dirth, the goblin shaman who has transcended the laws of nature. Teach, the kobold that cheated death and turned into a hybrid knight. And lastly, Sylvie, the dark elf who stands at Merlin’s side as his right-hand woman.In that same meeting, they all watched the events that transpired within the Coven. How the whole of it got destroyed by a burst of dark mana that came from the sky. While it is true that this place is heavily protected, it isn’t as impregnable as Genesis City. With the right amount of firepower, it can be destroyed. The only reason why nobody ever though of doing so is because it’s wasteful to destroy such a place while expending the said amount of resources. Nevertheless, Merlin still pushed through with it. Watching the feed provided to them by a Fae that’s sent in that location.Merli
Elliot began preparing the things asked of him by Lazaro. Since his father’s kingdom is on the other side of the continent where Kraken is located, he is oblivious to the things that occurred. Especially since his time and attention are both solely focused on his training. To become strong enough so that, the next time he comes across Lazaro and the bastard provokes him, he’d be able to slice this person right through the neck. That is the end goal.That needs to wait though. For now, he needs to prepare all the items which Lazaro requested from him. Weaponry that’s only available in the kingdom of Helios. Daggers that release flames with every slash. Swords of ice that are able to regenerate no matter how may times they’re broken. Shields boasting of impenetrability that’s almost at the same level as Genesis City. And, lastly, leveling crystals. Items that add to the base stats of those who take them.He has no idea why all of these are needed but, if they’re going to help in order t
Mordred is beginning his preparation for the war. The kingdom hasn’t been notified yet but, his trusted advisers are already with him. Brainstorming on ways on how they can defeat a demon that can destroy Genesis City, Kraken, and the Coven itself.Like any other kingdom, they are doing the right thing. The only problem with this is that, they don’t have a comprehensive idea on what it is that they’re dealing with. Other than the fact that the monster is a demon lord named Merlin Warlock who’s capable of annihilating a whole city in the blink of an eye, not much is known about him.An even bigger problem is that they have no idea on what forces he can summon into the battlefield. There are a lot of monster types across the whole of the continent. Though the efforts to subdue and minimize them has yielded much fruit until recently, all of them combined would still be a great threat to any and all kingdoms. Especially the forces led by the sovereign monsters.“What are we going to do my
