Could he really rely on the little magic he had now?
He Xi once again felt an intense longing for greater strength.
As He Xi watched Zoya, lost in thought, the beautiful elven girl's long eyelashes fluttered a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her purple eyes still held traces of the sorrow that had yet to fade.
He Xi immediately gave her an inquiring look.
They both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
But Zoya's worry stemmed mostly from the sacrifice in the final scene of her memory fragments.
She glanced at Zander, who still hadn't woken up, and first breathed a sigh of relief, seeming glad he hadn't woken up to face all this.
Then she quickly explained how Lily had given up all her memories to send Zander away, and how the Black Robe Person who arrived had taken control of her.
After hearing her out, they all fell briefly silent.
Even Flora, who loved to joke around, let her smile fade and sighed softly.
He Xi naturally understood why Zoya was worried.
Putting aside what Zander might do when he learned the truth,
even the question of whether to tell him was a huge dilemma.
If they didn't tell him, who would save the girl who had sacrificed everything for him?
He Xi and the others were just adventurers who had happened to cross paths with them. They had no obligation to save anyone.
But if they told him...
Looking at the hulking orc who still lay unconscious, He Xi guessed that, given Zander's personality, once he learned the truth, he would do whatever it took to find her.
Even if it cost him his life.
If Zander got hurt or even died because of this, then Lily's sacrifice—her resolve to make sure
