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

"Alsace, I know your purpose. You want to strengthen the monarchy and completely collapse the feudal forces in various places. But you are not doing this for the sake of the people. You just want your power to reach the pinnacle of history. What you are asking for It’s just your own personal interests.”

"It is a misfortune for the empire that someone like you becomes emperor."

Hearing these words, Alsace's anger surged up.

What he hates most in his life is when others say that he is not worthy of being emperor.

When his father said this, he only dared to bow his head and said yes, but once others dared to say this, he would get revenge.

Arthas lifted Orson up and punched him in the face one after another.

Unexpectedly, Orson was still looking at Arthas mockingly.

"I thought that after you became the emperor, your character would become more stable, Arthas."

"I didn't expect you to still have the same low self-esteem as before."

"What's the point of being proud of your defeated subordinate!" Alsace shouted angrily, and then threw Orson heavily to the ground.

Orson coughed twice and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Alsace suddenly saw something, and then quickly looked at Orson in front of him.

A black mist suddenly appeared on Orson's chest, and then the black mist slowly enveloped Orson's body, lifting Orson up.

Then, under Alsace's gaze, Orson's body underwent earth-shaking changes.

Two horns appeared on his head, and a pair of black wings appeared on his back.

His eyes were no longer as clear as before, but became pitch black.

In Arthas' impression, there was only one creature that fit Orson's current situation.

That is the devil.

But now, the demonized Orson fell in front of Alsace, and his aura was no less impressive than that of Alsace at home.

The injuries he suffered just now disappeared along with the changes in his body.

Orson stood there, quietly looking at Alsace in front of him.

"Alsace, don't think that forbidden magic is only available to your royal family. There are many things in this world that are beyond your knowledge..."

Arthas was stunned again when he heard Orson's words.

He originally thought that Orson had taken some kind of potion that could turn his body into a demon. The common side effect of this potion was that it made people lose their minds.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Orson still maintains a considerable degree of sanity, and even compared to just now, only his appearance has changed.

There is only one possibility for this level of demonization.

Thinking of this, Alsace lowered his head and laughed to himself.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that after a thousand years, the blood of demons has already made it to the top of the empire."

With that said, he raised his head again and pointed the sword at Orson.

"In that case, Orson, let's settle it here."

Chapter 67: Death of Alsace

When did demons become the natural enemies of humans, and have they been hostile and attacked by humans ever since?

The history of the empire is recorded as originating from a demon invasion, which united all races on the continent to fight against the demons.

But where did the demons go after that, and how did other demons or derived races on the continent come into being?

Even including the demonization incident of human beings on the outskirts of the imperial capital just a few months ago, who was behind it?

No one knows all this.

Even as powerful as the royal family, they are powerless in the face of such a group that secretly studies demon-related technologies, let alone other forces.

What Arthas didn't expect was that at this moment, the most talented person among human beings in front of him was not a human being.

What's even more ironic is that the opponent has pure demon blood, which makes him more rational when showing his posture, unlike other demons who are a monster.

"You will destroy the empire."

Alsace swung his sword at Orson, who was no longer as embarrassed as before, and gently stretched out his hand to catch Alsace's sword.

"Do you think you are protecting the empire? Look at those people who died because of you. The blood theory should have been shattered long ago."

As Orson said this, his five fingers turned into sharp claws and grabbed Alsace.

Alsace drew his sword to block, and another buzzing sound echoed in the dark space.

"The last thing you should do is leave me here, face to face with you, one on one."

Orson said this and continued to attack Alsace.

Both at the ninth level, Orson has the blood of a demon and is much stronger than Alsace.

The two exchanged several moves again, and after finding out each other's true identity, Orson used his ultimate move.

A black magic ball condensed on his chest, and its potential energy was still expanding, ready to attack Alsace at any time.

But Alsace was not to be outdone. He poured all his strength into his sword blade. The surface of the sword glowed with a brilliance that was much higher than before, and then he swung it directly in the direction in which Orson was charging.

A golden sword energy symbolizing the royal family was swung out.

Orson's black magic ball exploded with infinite potential energy at this moment, forming a dark and deep shock wave that collided with the sword energy.

A few seconds later, the sword energy was defeated, and the remaining potential energy of the shock wave hit Arthas, who flew backwards. The long sword in his hand also turned several times in the air and stuck into the ground.

Arthas lay on the ground, gasping for breath. The previous attack had used up all his strength, but even so, Orson still defeated him so easily.

Then, he heard footsteps coming from far away.

Orson slowly appeared in front of him.

"You told me that if I used forbidden magic, there would be no turning back."

Arthas looked at Orson who was looking down at him and said so.

Orson now still has not recovered from the demonization just now, and he still maintains a half-human, half-demon posture.

"Orson, tell me, after you use this power, can you still be yourself as before?"

Hearing this, Orson was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"I don't know, Arthas, but there's no turning back for us."

"Indeed... there's no turning back for us."

"Finally, let me ask you one more question."

Arthas said this, supported himself on the ground and climbed up, then sat on the throne.

"If Elsa and I swapped our ideas and ages, would you choose to support me or Elsa?"

"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"

Orson didn't reply directly, but gave an ambiguous answer.

But in Arthas's opinion, he already knew what he wanted to know.

It seems that at least the mistakes are not all his own.

"Orson, this space is a life-and-death duel in forbidden magic. Here, the initiator will be strengthened similar to the home field, and if you want to remove this magic, you can only get out after one of the two people dies completely."

"I set the exit in the palace because I am sure of victory, but now it seems..."

"Winners take it all, that's it."

"Alas." Arthas sighed, then continued to look up at Orson.

"Before you recover, let me chat with you. We shouldn't have chatted like this for a long time."

"... Please go ahead."

Orson stood there and said coldly.

"I didn't kill my father."

"I know." Orson nodded. "But you did act against his will, didn't you?"

"I don't deny that."

Arthas said this, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then continued:

"I still have some questions to ask you. I'm going to die soon. Just treat it as an answer to a dying person."

"In this way, it won't be in vain that I fought side by side with you before."

"You say, I will answer according to the situation."

Orson didn't lie this time.

Some things should be answered, and he will answer Arthas, but there are some things that Arthas can't know even if he dies, and he will definitely not tell Arthas.

"Does François' assassination have anything to do with you?"

"Yes, but I didn't kill him. Raven did."

"What about the assassination of my father?"

"...No."

Seeing Orson's reaction, Arthas showed a look of understanding.

"Orson, I envy you. You are decisive in killing. If I had concentrated all my strength on you at the beginning, the ending between us would not be like this."

Arthas said this and sighed to the sky.

"But there is no way..."

"That's why I can't beat you."

He picked up the long sword, looked at Orson in front of him, and then handed the long sword to him.

"Do you know why I activated this forbidden magic?"

Orson shook his head.

"You said that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I don't want either of us to be judged or humiliated after losing this competition."

"Death is the best relief."

"So, kill me. Kill me. My body, no matter how you judge it, has nothing to do with me."

...

In the palace hall, a full hour had passed since Arthas disappeared out of thin air. The imperial guards were leaderless and could only silently guard the hall.

Then, a strange movement was heard, and Arthas returned to the hall again.

In addition to him, there was another person who appeared with him.

The man wore a wide black robe that covered his body.

He held Arthas's long sword in his hand, and now, the long sword had pierced the original owner's chest.

Arthas sat on the throne, his head still raised proudly, like a king who had never failed.

Even though he had been facing failure since he came to power.

Chapter 68: The rabbit dies and the dog is cooked? (3K)

Orson pulled the blade out of Arthas' chest, and in order not to attract attention, he left the place directly from the side.

However, at this moment, the other guards also reacted.

"There is an assassin!"

"Your Majesty has been assassinated!"

"Don't let the assassin escape!"

Orson had already run to the door of the hall at this time, and it was at this time that the guards around Arthas rushed up.

Orson didn't want to entangle with them any more, so he swung his sword and forced all the guards who rushed up to retreat.
