Chapter 701: Oath

Eiro got ready to attack, entering his combat stance. His upper right hand and lower left hand were holding onto the daggers, while his other two were held in his unarmed combat style. The Demon slid over the ground, and Merlin raised his ethereal, magical hand forward. Eiro watched closely to see what was about to happen, when Merlin opened his mouth.

"Wait, wait, wait! I have no intention of fighting you right now," Merlin said bluntly. Eiro was taken aback; he looked at the man in front of him startled.

"What? What do you mean you have no intention of fighting?"

"I'm only here because the Devil still thinks I hadn't seen through his pitiable attempts at controlling me after I was reborn..." Merlin explained, as though it were obvious, "That's why, why, why, there's really no reason for me to follow along with what he wants. Rather, it's better for me if you concentrate on his fight with him."
