True God Form

From start to finish, Merlin had no intention of hurting Eric at all.

He knew that Eric was a mindless murdering puppet. If he acted seriously and accidentally hurt the puppet, it would mean that he had hurt Eric too.

Since his purpose was to help Eric, why would he hurt him?

Merlin had another purpose. He wanted to test the power of the Crystal of Life!

Although the Crystal of Life made Eric stronger, the key to it was that the user needed to have a huge amount of life force. The man named Roberto knew that Eric was a Human Corpse of the Dragon S. bloodline. His life force was many times stronger than an ordinary person. It was therefore very appropriate that he would invest a lot of resources to refine Eric into an ultimate assassination puppet, giving him the power of a Demigod like this.

Merlin had already tried sealing Eric's body with the Elementary Rule power. However, the Crystal of Life's power exceeded his expectations. It was able to destroy his rule.
