Chapter 267 Merlin the Druid

Merlin didn’t know what would happen when the power of the will enters the brain of the Giant Dragon. There hadn’t been a fool brave enough to do so. Now, he felt like the fool.

Druids were a type of wizard. Even though they could use close-ranged attacks, they could only be done through self-enhancement spells. Wizards also had strong limitations to their usage of their power of the will. They usually only used it to activate spells, rune signs, hexes, etc. Only a few wizards would use their power of the will offensively. This was because once their power of will was broken, there would be severe consequences.

Merlin was in that exact situation. When his power of the will had entered into Abel’s brain, Abel’s brain was so complicated that even Abel, himself couldn’t identify what was so special about it. Firstly, the countless soul potions had allowed the soul in his brain to grow significantly. Secondly, after becoming a commander, his soul had significantly increased attack. Lastly, absorbing the impose pressure from the dragon crystal through the ambergris wood big had also had an effect on his soul and power of the will.

By this point, Carrie felt that something was up. How could Merlin attack Abel in front of her? Abel was her younger sister’s love interest, the only blacksmith in the Elven city, and possibly only one who could make the special ‘Elven perfumes’, ‘lotions,’ and ‘conditioners’ in the entire Holy Continent.

It happened when Carrie was about to ask her mother to stop Merlin. Attacks like this on the power of the will was among the most dangerous. Due to the lack of training, her powers were the lowest among the intermediate druids. Furthermore, she was not familiar with these attacks on the power of the will.

As her voice was escaping her, she noticed that Merlin’s expression had slightly changed, whereas Abel had shown no change. The suspicion grew, could it be that Merlin, as an official druid, had weaker will than a third grade wizard?

The battle had already been decided when she finished her thought. Merlin looked dumbfounded. All his power of the will had become a part of Abel’s brain.

As Merlin’s power of the will entered Abel’s brain, it was like there was a terrifying monster being awakened inside. His power of will had been stunned as it entered. Soon, all of Merlin’s power of will began to leave his mind and enter into Abel’s brain. Consequently, Merlin lost complete control of himself.

A dragon’s roar set off from Abel’s mind. Merlin was a Druid specialized in summoning, and he could communicate with soul beast through his power of the will. However, this roar had whipped out all of Merlin’s attributes ion Merlin’s power of the will. Afterward. The weak little soul vicious dash out and swallowed Merlin’s power of the will, like a hungry snake eating an elephant.

In the physical world, Abel posed no harm to an official druid as he is unable to utilize his giant dragon impose pressure. This impose pressure only exists in his soul, so entering his mind would be like entering the mind of the giant dragon.

Abel had felt some change after the weak little soul had consumed Merlin’s power of will. Though it has no sense of self, it had grown under the influence of the power of will of an official druid.

“What’s wrong, Merlin?” The shouting of one druid had attracted the attention of many others.

Carrie looked at Merlin coldly. Although she was introverted, she wasn’t dumb. Merlin would often discuss training, but she would leave whenever the conversation became off-topic. Who knew Merlin would interpret her tolerance as a sign of love. She didn’t know Abel was able to survive Merlin’s attack, but she had already put the blame on herself.

Merlin’s eye had lacked expression and was wide open. He was smiling awkwardly, and his saliva had flowed down towards his chest.

“Merlin’s power of will is gone!” an intermediate had shouted after investigating.

“Who did it?” his fellow druid yelled, though he had his eyes on the similarly still Abel.

“Who is he?”

“He did it!”

“Attacking the Grand Ducal Druid in the Grand Ducal Palace, off with his head!”

Several druids gathered to Abel, but Carrie stood beside Abel, silent. The druids had understood her intentions.

“Why are you protecting him, countess Carrie? He killed Merlin!” said one of the druids who had shouted questioned her.

Carrie hadn’t even moved her eyes, worryingly staring at Abel. This action had aggravated the Druids even more.

“Calm yourselves!” said Grand Duke Edwina as she and Duke Albert had appeared beside Abel.

“Grand Duke Edwina, this elf attacked Merlin. Look at what he did to him!” said one of the druids. He was a very close friend of Merlin.

“Are you all blind? Between an official druid and a level 3 elf, does it need to be said explicitly who the aggressor was?” Grand Duke Edwina said with piercing eyes, staring at the druid who talked back. “He attacked the Grand Ducal Palace’s alchemist. He deserved being counter-attacked. Do you still want to take revenge for him?”

n

Upon learning Abel’s identity as the Grand Duke’s alchemist, nobody dared make as much as a squeak, including Merlin’s buddy Everyone had also understood that the mysterious alchemist who made the Elven perfume was Abel. Before he arrived, there hadn’t been Elven perfume that improved the purity of souls. There was no need for words. Grand Duke Edwina’s attitude had explained everything

“Mother, is Mr. Bennett alright?” Carrie said in a slightly concerned tone.

“I just checked, he’s alright,” Grand Duke Edwina said with a slight smile.

As she finished speaking, her beast portal bag suddenly opened. 5 ravens flew out and eyed Merlin, and without hesitation, flew towards Abel. After flying around him for a bit, they land on his shoulder, looking at his affectionately.

“Pledge transfer!” shouted most of the elves present. This was almost an urban legend. Only a few elves have even seen it themselves. These kinds of pledge could transfer the beasts they have pledged to other elves, and at the same time losing the spell themselves. As though removing one’s body part, almost anyone who attempts it regrets it.

“It seems a lot had happened behind the scenes!” Grand Duke Edwina had shown some surprise. She knew that Abel was human, and human wizards are not able to coexist with druid wizards. This was not a rune conflict between a wizard and an alchemist, but one on the spiritual level.

Because elven druids need to change their souls to a natural green to be able to communicate with animals, this same soul change also allowed druids to be accepted by animals easier. And the easier a druid is accepted by animals, the easier their soul is to change.
