The Devil Inside

This is a bit passive, but it is the best decision given the current situation.

Merlin closed the curtains expressionlessly and sat in front of the bed, going over his plan in his mind, thinking it was perfect.

But---" The uneasiness deep in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if some key information had been overlooked by him, making him feel anxious and restless!

Just at this moment, the sound of the cello stopped.

Merlin finally realized where his uneasiness came from.

It’s not that the decision is wrong, but that it’s too quiet.

I don’t know when it started, but the noise from the community courtyard completely disappeared. After the cello sound stopped, the surroundings became as quiet as a cemetery.

He suddenly stood up, rushed out of the house, climbed up the railing and looked down to see a black-haired young man he had never seen before, standing alone in the middle of the community courtyard, smiling and looking up at him.

He's Han Solo!

The short-haired woman, Cornflower, held the cello in her hand and walked slowly. She sat down on the flower bed beside the black-haired young man and tuned the strings once again.

Her movements were gentle, but Merlin could clearly feel it...

A fierce murderous intent.

Han Solo jumped off the roof and looked at the intricate alleys and narrow roads created by the lack of planning, and he couldn't even tell north from south.

no way.

He jumped up and jumped straight to the window sill on the third floor. After several jumps, he returned to the roof and looked around.

Fuck, where is the employee community?

This cornflower... please point me in a direction. Han Solo was helpless. Since it was an employee community, it should be near the cannery.

Fortunately, he was already a ninth-level engraver and had some strength. He could move between the rooftops and get lost but only a little.

As he moved forward, Han Solo heard the intermittent sound of a cello.

He turned his head and saw that 500 meters southeast of the cannery, there were many people lined up in an orderly manner, with dull looks on their faces, walking through the community gate and heading towards the street.

There are guards patrolling the streets.

They see so many people violating the martial law regulations and gathering on the streets. How can they tolerate this?

He blew the whistle and walked over waving his stick until he was close enough to the crowd. The light in the patrolling guard's eyes disappeared, and the fierce look on his face was restrained, replaced by an indescribable calmness.

They join the ranks and move away from the employee community.

Han Solo didn't understand what was going on, so he immediately changed direction and jumped towards that direction.

It's cornflower.

Han Solo saw that Cornflower was sitting by the wall, playing with his eyes closed, and was extremely intoxicated.

Subconsciously, he slowed down.

"Does it sound good?"

As if sensing her arrival, Cornflower opened his eyes.

Han Solo shook his head. "I know nothing about music."

"Does it sound good or bad?"

"Very pleasant."

Han Solo gives his intuitive feelings.

"Ms. Night loves music. If you want to become a sub-cabin staff, you must be proficient in a musical instrument. I have been practicing the cello for a long time."

Cornflower smiled.

She looked towards the gate of the community and said, "My piano practice is not in vain. With the permission of Lady Night, my piano music has the magical power to bewitch people. It can manipulate ordinary people, even those with certain levels of Markers, and it can be effective if you pay special attention to them. You see, I have already evacuated the people, and the next battle will not hurt innocent people."

"!"

There was a sound of door hitting the wall.

Han Solo looked up and saw a man in a white suit walking out of the empty circular corridor on the fourth floor.

He had a look of shock and anger on his face, and he put his hands on the railing and looked down.

That is—

Merlin.

After just one glance, Han Solo looked away.

He turned to look at the cornflower that had come to his side and was sitting on the flower bed, and said, "Very well done. It's fifty-fifty now."

"My brother is so stingy, it makes me feel cold. After all this, is it still a 50-50 split?"

clang.

Cornflowers plucked the strings at random, making noises.

Han Solo was ruthless: "It's 60-40 now. If you call me brother again, I will surrender again."

"So, Dad?"

the other side.

Merlin looked at the two people chatting among themselves below, and veins popped up on his forehead!

She was still flirting and didn't take him seriously at all!

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Are you Han Solo?"

Han Solo looked up and shouted, "Do you know me?"

"Of course I know you. You have a place in the knitting club!"

"Is it?"

Han Solo raised his hand and flicked it, a spider silk flew out and entangled Merlin's wrist.

Before Merlin could react, he yanked.

A huge force came over him, and Merlin smashed the guardrail in front of him and fell rapidly downward!

Chapter 135 #134 The Basic Principles of Magic

Merlin remained fearless in the face of danger. The silk thread tied to his wrist pulled him down at high speed, which was exactly what he wanted.

As an outstanding graduate of Arendelle, he had surpassed his peers with his undisputed performance in the final examination and won the first place with a record-breaking result.

The grand occasion at that time is still vivid in our minds.

But God is jealous of talented people.

Soon after graduation, Merlin was diagnosed with a terminal illness. At first, his fingers became numb, and he thought it was due to excessive practice.

Just take a rest for a while.

No one expected that the symptoms would not only not improve, but become more serious.

We went to the hospital, the church, and all the other places we should go, but neither medical skills nor divine magic could help. The final conclusion was that it was a strange disease called ALS.

It's ridiculous.

Merlin is obviously a Marker, but he is defeated by disease like an ordinary person!

It was also at that time...

He came into contact with the "Ancient Sin Demon", and under the nourishment of magic, his increasingly weak body glowed with glory.

He felt "healthy" for the first time in a long time.

From that moment on, Merlin was a loyal supporter of the evil god.

He was disdainful of arguing about the difference between mana and magic, or which one was better.

seeing is believing.

Moreover, "I need to give an account of my past efforts, and my aspirations also need a response. Rather than lying on a sickbed and cursing the injustice of fate, I would rather endure the curses and create the future with a healthy body. So—"

The distance between Merlin and Han Solo was less than three meters.

"die!"

The dark flames roared.

Merlin turned his hand, took the spider silk on his wrist and pulled it hard.

Instead of surrendering, he planned to fight back.

Pitch-black flames surrounded his body, and he raised his head like a dragon, covering Han Solo's head and trying to devour him.

not enough.

Merlin cast another spell, and the short staff in his hand drew a circle in the air, forming a purple magic eye.

The Demon Eye opened, and its sight followed Han Solo closely. At the moment when the dark flames engulfed his figure,

A beam of light converged and shot out, arriving first and pointing directly at the chest.

However, the beam missed its target and hit the breakfast shop in the employee community, smashing the facade.

The surging black fire fell fiercely, but also missed.

Han Solo strolled leisurely, moving calmly in the killing move.

""—So strong."

Merlin's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he thought secretly.

Han Solo's current level is the same as Merlin's level fifteen years ago. After being nourished by magic, Merlin's strength has been further improved, not to mention that he has fifteen years of accumulation.

He didn't hold back in those two attacks just now.

It is impossible for an ordinary ninth-level engraver to dodge his attack.

As a former master, Merlin is gifted.

"So strong"

Normally, this is how others feel about him.

But now, he actually had this feeling towards Han Solo.

A so-called genius is someone who can do what ordinary people cannot do, which makes ordinary people confused and question him.

So, what is Han Solo, who makes this "genius" sigh at how strong he is?

More than a genius, almost a monster!

Realizing this, Merlin no longer held back. He took a deep breath and detonated the curse branded on his heart.

A cold and violent aura emerged.

The magic power in his body was transformed into a more dangerous magic power, which was tinted with a deep purple color. The whites of his eyes were polluted and flashed with a strange indigo-purple color.

In order to better hide, Merlin handled everything in human form to avoid complications.

The switch to demonic possession has always existed in his body.

When necessary, you can take the initiative to open the seal and gain immortal power. Now is the time!

"Is it too late to fall now?"

Han Solo stood still, looking at Merlin.

He smiled and said, "You don't think you are a magical girl and you are invincible when you transform, do you?"

Merlin laughed: "Once the magic enters the body, it will be corrupted instantly! Since you have come to me, I can't hide anything from you. Bringing out the best is the way to treat guests."

"Abandoning your human identity and embracing the power of the devil can indeed increase your combat power in an instant. I see that you are only at level 16 or 17, and you are no match for me and Cornflower. If you fall and gain immortality, things will become difficult."

"I will kill you."

Merlin gritted his teeth.

Before the conversation begins, the situation is so serious that the brain blocks out irrelevant information.

Only at this moment did he feel his emotions.

Boiling and roaring in the heart, that is anger!
