The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 41 - WITCH

Merlin was furious, confused and panicked and wanted to run towards the general…

“ Miss!!!, miss Merlin!!.” Denzu tried to chase him.

Merlin turned his head and stopped his steps.

“ Mr Denzu? What's up?” Merlin asked in a hurry.

“ Miss, I'm coming with you.it looks like they are strange.” it turns out Denzu is also aware of the peculiarities of the inhabitants of the castle including the General.

“You realize it sir?.” Merlin finally found one person who felt the same way he felt.

“ Yes, I know something is wrong with them “ Denzu goes along with Merlin with legs that are still sore.

In front of the General and the woman, Merlin immediately rebuked them loudly.

“ Sir!!, have you gone mad?! Why would you so easily allow that woman to see a diamond mine? after all why he is still here, this has exceeded the deadline he asked“

“ Merlin! Coincidentally you came, why is there an Eldr at the mine door? Get rid of him Merlin!” general's orders.

“ No!!, I will not let this woman into the mine!” replied Merlin loudly.

Elya took refuge behind the General, as if she was an innocent woman who had already captivated the general.

“ Sir, are you unaware of what you are doing?!, realize sir!!, what happened to you?!” Merlin tried to resuscitate the General.

“ Shut up Merlin! Hurry and get that Eldr out of there!” The general re-ruled Merlin, the,

“ Won't!!, didn't you say we have to be careful with this woman, but why are you even captivated by her.

“ Hey, don't accuse me of anything!” elya made a sound, too,

Merlin pushed Elya's shoulder…

“ Who are you! What did you do to Mr. Luzen and my friends?!” Merlin was furious.

“ Merlin! What are you doing?!” The general looked at Merlin.

“ Mr Luzen!, be aware sir, you may have been magic by wan-.”

PAAKK!!....” SHUT UP!!! “

A loud slap from the General landed on Merlin's cheek, and Merlin widened his eyes while holding his cheek, and at that moment Merlin's eyes turned red, his fangs began to grow.

From beside Merlin, Denzu who could not bear to see the behavior of the General, suddenly quickly landed a blow to the General's face.

The unprepared general fell to the ground, but he quickly got up and hit Denzu in his jaw.

The men there separated the two, but it seemed as if they were defending the General, and pushed Denzu to the ground.

Merlin groaned loudly in front of the General and the woman, visible in his eyes were red droplets of tears dripping down.

The terrified Elya took refuge behind the General and held the General's arm firmly.

Merlin did not attack them, he only moaned angrily, revealing his pointy teeth, then he helped Denzu who had started to stand up, then Merlin flew in the air leaving them with a deep disappointment.

Merlin landed in the courtyard of the fortress with a melt of tears. He quickly ran towards his room, with the change becoming as it was.

The girl was crying on her tiny bed, she sat down by covering her face using her palms.

Suddenly the knock on the door of his room broke his urge.

“ Who?” in a soft tone and still sobbing by cries, Merlin tried to ask.

“ I'm Denzu miss.” sound behind the door of Merlin's room.

“ I want to talk to you, I just wait outside.” when Denzu wants to turn around, Merlin's room door opens.

“ What do you want to talk about sir?” Merlin wiped his tears that were still flowing.

“ Miss, please don't blame the General, he only affected magic.” Denzu tried to explain.

“ Magic?!” Merlin looked confused.

“ Come with me.” Denzu instantly pulled Merlin's arm.

Denzu led Merlin up the fortress, he looked around as if he was worried that someone would hear.

“ Miss, I think they're all exposed to magic, including the General.” Denzu gave the news that made Merlin shocked.

“ Really?!” merlin's face looked confused.

“ Yes, and I am sure once the woman and her brother were witches “

“ But how do you know they're witches?”

“ My grandmother was a witch, she told me the characteristics of witches and people exposed to magic...Well, did you see it up there?.and there?.” Denzu pointed to the air, but Merlin saw nothing there, only white clouds and trees below.

“ What's in there? I don't see anything?” Merlin who was still looking around for something strange in front of him, slashed his eyes slowly.

“ Pay attention miss, there is like a thin purple circle.” Denzu pointed again into the air.

“ Ahhh!!! Yes.I saw it.yes it was like there was a big thin bubble surrounding in the fortress.”

“ Well, it is a magic circle for the entire inhabitants of the castle, all will be affected by the magic of the woman Denzu” explained.

“ But, me..and you? Why not get affected by that magic?” Merlin asked seriously.

“ Because from childhood I have been given an antidote to magic by my grandmother, while you are a miss, you are an Eldr. Eldr won't work with any magic”.

“ So apparently.” Merlin who was still nodding looked amazed by Denzu's explanation.

“ So, what should we do?” Merlin looked at Denzu seriously.

“ First we have to arrest the woman and her brother, but we can't do it alone, we have to get help from the castle, lord Dumor and his troops must come here as soon as”

“ Well, I will tell Eldr to tell mister Dumor, then what next?” Ask Merlin back.

“ The second one, we have to find the magic breakers and restore them as before” Denzu seriously explained again.

“ Where can we get magic breaker?” Ask Merlin.

“ Well, that's what I don't know.because my grandmother never told me about it and she's already dead, so we have to find the witch who's still there and ask her”

“ Witch..., ah yes! I know where to find a witch.” Merlin immediately remembered the old witch he had met at South Mountain, where the Elders were.

“ Oya sir, how about I attack that witch woman, now I can turn into Demon Eldr according to my will “

“ Don't miss!, it's also at risk, if you attack the witch, then the general who is still possessed by magic can be angry with you and the hatred of someone under the control of magic will be stronger and harder to resist, or it could be that the influence of the General's magic cannot be lost if you kill that witch, because what I see, the magic given to the General is a little different from the magic given to the others”

“ You mean?”

“ The general is like obeying everything the woman said, and it seems like the General also became fond of the woman due to the influence of stronger magic”

“ Can't I let!” Merlin looked furious and turned his face away from Denzu.

Eventually Merlin and Denzu planned a departure to the South Mountain after waiting for the arrival of Dumor and his army.
