The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Authority
In order for Merlin’s plans to move forward, there are a couple of things that has to be prepared. The dungeon’s defenses have to be fortified and, as this happens, the [Forge] will be working in full throttle as well. Making the armor and weaponry of the monsters that will be deployed for battle.The goblins have begun this and are steadily making progress. Owing to the fact that they’ve been given better items and equipments for the craft, they are now more efficient in the task. What makes them a lot better is the fact that Dirth is now overseeing the project. The goblin shaman has been tasked to be with these regular goblins, ensuring that they finish everything in time and, to do this, Dirth has boosted their capabilities with his spells. Granting them craft enhancements.Other than this, Teach is working with the kobolds to set the traps and the watchtowers that adds to the defenses of the dungeon. Though it’s only the entrance part that requires this, Merlin thought that it’d b
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Forcing a Deal
[Plague River – Present Day]A swamp kobold came towards Gerant with its eyes looking at the ground. The sovereign has been in a sour mood ever since he lost against Samira. Though it was nothing more than a clone that the manticore defeated, this still left a bad taste in the mouth of the blood ogre.Gerant’s eyes gazed at a distance. It doesn’t even seem like he can see the swamp kobold that slowly came up to him. His pointing finger ticked at the side of his throne. A chair made of the skulls of monsters he killed and mutated using blood magic in order to turn the whole thing crimson. Making it an object of nightmares which, is perfect for any monster who wants to have a frightening looking throne.Of course, this also had its effect on the swamp kobold whose legs began to shake. Though it still continued moving towards Gerant because there’s something that he needs to ask. A question that many of the monsters within the blood ogre’s domain are asking as well.“Boss.” It began.Ger
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Preparations for the War
[Location – Unknown]A man stands on top of a tower near collapse. With him is the knight named Michael. The same one that Junrio tried to call upon for the conflicts that occurred with Genesis City. But due to the predicament that he’s still on until that point, he isn’t able to give a response; nor did the message ever reach him.The crystal-like eyes of the knight reflected the destruction in front of them. Gigantic monsters march towards the humans. Towering over seven feet in height and, with these are smaller ones. All sharing the same war cry that resonates one goal – to feed on Michael and his ally, Sariel. Flames rose across the entirety of the battlefield and on the skies swirled monsters half the size of a full grown dragon. The stomping feet of the monsters made the foothold of Michael and Sariel begin to crumble. Yet even with all this pressure, the two knights remained calm. In fact, they’re even having a normal conversation as we speak.“There seems to be a lot of stuf
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Kraken Symbol
There are two territories that humanity temporarily abandoned. Both of which are ruined cities where no life can currently thrive. The first is Genesis City. A place boasting of a level of defense so great that, it is said that nobody is supposed to be able to get through it and yet the demon named Merlin Warlock is able to prove otherwise. Breaking past the barrier and unleashing chaos which the city has never experienced before.Then there’s the free city of Kraken. A place owned and managed by the pirates who is led by the cunning Raksha, a man with Omniscient Eyes that an see through all lies and deceit. A pirate who has claim over the legendary monster called Kraken which is bound to him under some form of contract. Yet even this city fell to the ground. Primarily because of P{Philein, and his allies but, Merlin is the one who cleaned p after their mess. Destroying everything that’s left behind while also getting his revenge on the two former members of Avalon.Between these two
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Deal
When Merlin’s senses came back, he’s already deep within the sea. There is nothing but darkness here and a cold that is not as inviting. Yet even with all of this, Merlin doesn’t feel the slightest bit of fear. Probably because there’s no reason for him to be frightened or, probably because one of his new passive ability [Mind Clear].This ability prevents any negative effect on his mind to take effect. This includes hypnosis, confusion, and other negative mental states. And yes, it is an overpowered skill to say the least. With this skill being in effect, Merlin’s able to think clearly on what’s happening currently and, there are three things to note. One is that he’s within a vast body of water. This can be a sea or an ocean but there’s no clear way of telling which is which.The second one is that, even though he’s in such a state, Merlin isn’t drowning nor is he wet. He’s completely unsoaked and he can breathe properly. He isn’t falling deeper into the body of water as well. Mere
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord After the Deal
Merlin’s eyes opened slowly, like a newborn who’s introduced to the light of life after being in the shelter of its mother’s womb for too long. Yet the light that welcomed Merlin in that moment is a lot harsher. As if his eyelids are being burned and, as this sensation spread across the entirety of his body.Unknown to him, this is the result of him leaving the domain of the Kraken. The cold yet welcoming waters within the Kraken’s territory is alien to the harsh indifference of the world’s light brought about by the sun. And Merlin experienced this in its fullness. With his body slowly regaining its senses at the same time.There is a weight that prevented him from getting up. Not caused by a spell nor an increase in the world’s gravity but, just from him having no more mana. He knows that this is the reason because it’s the same sensation he comes across when he exhausts his mana reserves during the days of Requiem the game.“That bastard. It didn’t tell me anything about sucking me
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord The Duo
The weapon stopped.Right before it can even reach the neck of the demon lord, the weapon stopped – caused by a block from another large weapon. Owned by none other than the Chimera, Samira.“You know, when I said that I wanted to spend more time with you, this isn’t what I meant.”Samira released a powerful blast of crimson mana that forced the abomination to back away. As this happened, Beatrix hurled shards of icicles towards the demon lord and the manticore. Intercepted by arrows that are fired by none other than Sylvie who appeared right in front of Merlin.“You know, when you said that we won’t be engaging in any battles soon, I already called your bluff.” The dark elf commented, wielding her new weapon. A longbow made from the blades that she took from her previous master, forged together with two other high rankings bows and a couple of other materials.“In my defense, I only came here for the contract with the Kraken.” The demon replied. “These guys just decided to pounce on
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Beatrix
The fight between Sylvie and Beatrix. Merlin watched this from the comfort of the ruined Kraken City’s high walls The same way that he’s also observing the fight that’s going on between Samira and Corpus using a second [Faye].He is far from the reach of both sovereigns that have aimed for his head earlier on. Now, they are preoccupied with the fight against his own allies. Individuals that he raised and trained through the methods that he knows of. Allowing them to grow stronger within a shorter period of time compared to others.This is the reason why Merlin can watch without having to worry about a single thing. His allies aren’t so weak that their opponents would be able to take their eyes off of them without suffering any severe consequence. And, even if they do reach him, Merlin is ready to flicker to a new location.That being said, he can focus on watching the fights that are, at the moment, going in nobody’s favor. His allies and the opposing sovereigns feel like they’re even

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
