My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

He still couldn't feel any trace of magic power in his body, and his strength was only at the level of an ordinary, slightly trained adult, no more than the first level at most.

Orson looked at the mirror, raised his right hand, and began to silently recite the simplest magic spell.

However, even so, there was still no reaction at all.

Seeing this, Orson sighed silently.

"You never said the price would be so high."

……

Imperial College.

"Oh, isn't this Lit? How come you have time to come to see me?" Therese said in surprise when she saw Lit at the door of her dormitory.

After seeing Triss, Litt also hurried over.

"Um, Teacher Triss, I have something I want to ask you. I wonder if you are free now..."

"I've just finished my work, so... let's go into the house first?"

"Yeah." Lit nodded, then followed Triss into the dormitory.

"Come, have some tea."

Triss brought two cups of tea from the kitchen, placed them on the table, and then sat opposite Lit.

Leeteuk took the tea and took a sip politely.

"Okay, tell me why you came to see me this time. Who is it because of?"

"Um... Teacher Triss, a friend of mine, he used to be very powerful, but in a battle, facing an opponent who was much stronger than him, he used a... um, a relatively taboo ability?"

"In the end, he defeated his enemy, but at the same time, he lost all his power after that battle and became an ordinary person. Do you think there is any possibility for him to recover?"

"Leet, the friend you're talking about... isn't it you?"

Triss said this and looked at Lit, pretending to be surprised.

"No way!"

Upon hearing this, Li Te quickly shook his head.

Then, as if to reassure Triss, she stretched out her hand again and condensed a ball of fire in her palm to prove that she still had magic power.

"That's strange... This is the first time I've heard of the situation of this friend you mentioned."

Triss said this, supporting her chin with one hand and frowning.

"It depends. In some books, there are indeed stories where a hero loses all his power in order to defeat a villain and eventually seals the villain. But as you know, these stories are all made up by humans. It's still unknown whether they are credible or not."

"And in other magics that have a cost, there has never been a situation where all strength is lost. Instead, the damage to the body is more obvious."

"Leet, your friend doesn't have any serious injuries, right?"

"This..." Li Te was stunned when he heard this.

Then she fell silent, not knowing whether she should tell Tris about this.

Chapter 80: Nineteen Years Ago

"How about this."

Seeing that Lit hesitated for a moment, Triss took the initiative to speak:

"Since you're asking this kind of thing, you must not be joking. Let me guess who this person you're talking about is. If you guess it, you have to tell me, okay?"

"……Um."

Lit was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Then I guess... it's Orson?"

After all, apart from Orson, Tris couldn't think of anyone else that Lit would care so much about.

This little girl has always admired her brother, and she understands this.

"Yes."

Leeteuk admitted it directly.

Therese was giving herself a way out, so she just went along with it tactfully.

Then, she told Triss all about the changes in Orson.

Triss nodded when she heard this.

In fact, she had known about Orson's problem for a long time. The reason she waited for Litt to say it was to see how much Litt knew about Orson's abnormality at this moment.

"Orson's problem... may be more difficult. I have discovered some of Orson's problems before."

"I wasn't going to tell you originally, but since you, Lit, already know Orson's current situation, I'll just tell you straight away."

"Orson is not a pure-blooded human. He may not even have human blood in him."

"No human blood!?"

When Lit heard Triss's words, it was like a bolt from the blue that hit Lit's brain.

"Yes."

Therese directly told Lit the cruelest truth.

"The reason why Orson can use the power of the devil and remain rational when facing the devil flower is because he has extremely pure devil blood. But at the same time, in order to suppress the negative factors in the devil blood, Orson should have another high-level blood, and this blood should not be human."

"Then...then Teacher Triss, you mean that Orson is a hybrid of another race and a demon?"

"That's it." Triss nodded, and then expressed her guess:

"The so-called high-level bloodline is one of the many bloodlines passed down from ancient times. Among them, although humans are also passed down from ancient times, in order to ensure their reproductive ability, they have lost many powerful inheritances."

"And those races with strong bloodline power are mostly rare and long-lived."

"For example, races such as elves, dragons, and vampires, as well as their subspecies, and even our human variant - witches, are also very likely. Orson is very likely the descendant of these races."

"Then how do we infer Orson's other race?"

"That will have to wait until the power of the other race is revealed."

Triss said helplessly.

"Osen is so talented. Besides bloodline, there is another possibility, which is his parents."

"His parents may have abandoned Orson there to avoid the war eighteen years ago, but they wanted Orson to survive, so they cast a spell on him to turn him into a human. Under the effect of this spell..."

Triss said this while looking off into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

About twenty years ago, something big did happen.

Orson, maybe he is that adult's child.

……

Nineteen years ago, Empire.

Outside Antica.

This place has recently been attacked by orcs, and all the humans living nearby have become refugees, fleeing westward.

However, two figures went against the crowd and walked towards the city of Antica.

One of the men was wearing a cloak that completely covered his body, leaving only a hint of black hair visible.

Another blonde woman wore a veil covering her face.

She was holding a small child in her arms.

"Alice, do you think this place is okay?"

"Yeah." The woman named Alice nodded. "Ryder, it's almost done."

"Row."

The man nodded, then walked into the woods, and the woman followed him.

After the two walked into the woods, they seemed to have completely disappeared.

Half an hour later, the two came out of the woods, but this time, the woman was no longer holding the child.

The woman turned around and glanced reluctantly at the woods.

"Will our child end up in a good family?"

She was talking to herself, and seemed to be asking questions to the man beside her.

"Look, Ryder, you haven't named the baby yet."

"Let the person who finds him choose his name. After all, he doesn't belong to us."

Hearing the man's words, Alice's expression flashed with a trace of pain, but she finally nodded with relief.

Who would want to abandon their own child unless they have no other choice?

"Yes, that child doesn't belong to us after all."

"Those old stubborn guys are about to catch up with us. Let's go quickly and lead them to Limusa now. Then I will buy you some time and you can see if you can escape back to the lighthouse."

Reid said this and glanced at Alice behind him, as if he was ready to sacrifice his life.

"I can not go back."

Alice shook her head sadly when she heard this.

"From the day I decided to come out with you, I can't go back, Ryder, you can't abandon me. I have decided to follow you to the ends of the earth."

"Idiot! They only want my life! I am a demon, they cannot tolerate me. But you are different. The old guys in the lighthouse will protect you! You are a rare genius! You still have a bright future..."

Reid said angrily when he saw Alice cut off her own retreat.

But halfway through his speech, looking at Alice in front of him, he finally couldn't bear to hurt her anymore.

The woman in front of him was the one he loved the most. After hearing his words, she just smiled bitterly, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling.

"I just want you, isn't that okay?"

Reid knew that even if the road ahead was hell, she would follow him.

In desperation, he held Alice in his arms.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, the cloak slipped off, and the horns on Reid's head, which symbolized the devil, were exposed to the air.

However, by this time, all the fleeing people had already left, and no one noticed anything unusual about him.

……

"Teacher Triss, Teacher Triss?"

Lit's words brought Triss back to her senses. Triss was stunned for a moment, then said, "What's the matter?"

"Were you just daydreaming?"

"Ah, because I remember that about 20 years ago, a very powerful person did disappear. However, I don't think it has anything to do with Orson."

"Oh?" Litt was stunned for a moment when he heard that, but when he saw that Therese was not going to continue talking, he did not ask any more questions.

This may be something that Teacher Therese is reluctant to mention.

The smart Li Te didn't ask too many questions, but he had already left a thought in his mind.
