Merlinus had already said what he wanted to say. What he had become, what led him to what he was, and everything else was also right within his mind. His resolve was absolute, no matter what else he might have done before, it didn't matter.
Nothing mattered other than himself and his pursue for eternal life and the power to obtain the world that had been denied to him even as he grew old, even as he saw how fruitless it was to grow and grow, when his age and society itself would simply not let him have what he wants.
Therefore, he chose to become unrestricted, a being without morals, without humanity. Without anything holding him back anymore, with everything he ever loved or cared for gone long ago, there was no hesitation.
Recognized by a Demon King as someone that was "True and Pure Evil" he charged forward, believing his own twisted ideals born from his own degraded sense of self.
Truly, a man that lost what made him one.
