chapter 30: 30: who said i will?
there were around ten minutes left before the high ranking vampires were going to have their restrictions removed.
kim seojin found himself at the threshold of an important decision.
it was a decision that could not only decide the conclusion of this tutorial but also the fate of a million humans.
[the judge has started paying attention to you]
[the judge finds the situation very interesting]
[the judge is looking forward to your decision]
seojin heard many notifications appearing before him which made him realize that the judge was paying attention to him.
it was just what he wanted, but the timing was all wrong.
it would have been good if he had the advice from the regressor, but this decision was left to him alone.
seojin could see that the answer was more complex than it looked. the regressor knew this was going to happen, which meant that there was a solution to this problem.
every second was extremely important in this race against time.
after a brief pause, seojin finally came to a conclusion.
he knew that this wasn't the answer that lee taehyung was looking for. but he also knew that it wasn't the time to be emotional or stubborn.
the regressor could go back in time if he was to die. for him, life and death had no consequence. but it wasn't the same for seojin.
he did not know if he was going to be present in the timeline where lee taehyung was going to regress next. he wasn't present in his other regressions after all.
he was an anomaly in this timeline, one that could not exist in any other cases. this was probably his first and last opportunity, unlike the regressor.
it was impossible to save a million people in ten minutes, especially since the building was so complex.
"we cannot save them," seojin said.
"in that case, are you going to kill them?" taehyung asked. "you don't have enough time to save them, but there is definitely enough time to kill them all."
"i will not kill them either."
the building had over a hundred floors, but even more floors were concealed beneath the surface, housing the imprisoned humans in cells resembling prisons.
seojin's response was cryptic yet confident. "you will soon find out."
the lift started moving as it climbed higher.
within seconds, the elevator doors opened on the hundredth floor. the speed at which the elevator moved far surpassed anything seojin had ever experienced in his time.
despite the speed, the ride remained smooth, free of any discomfort.
seojin stepped out of the elevator, accompanied by taehyung. the advanced technology of this era did not fail to impress him.
only nine minutes remained until the high vampires would be released, free to take action once more.
....
the ground floor had no high vampires protecting that place. but the hundredth floor was different.
as soon as seojin stepped out of the lift, he saw more than ten high vampires in the corridor.
fortunately, the high vampires couldn't attack them even when they were right there.
the high vampires stood silently, their blood red eyes gazing at seojin and taehyung, as if they were looking forward to the moment the restrictions were going to be removed.
seojin walked past the high vampires. they were still under restrictions but he could still see how strong they were.
the high vampires were as intelligent as humans. they could use all the abilities of the vampires, but they could also use the skills just like the players.
it was also harder to kill a high vampire. unlike low vampires, the high vampires knew skills that protected their vitals.
they also had blood related skills which made it even harder to kill them. if possible, even seojin did not want to fight them.
as seojin walked past the vampires, he noticed one particular room that was heavily protected by the vampires.
he did not enter the room. or rather, he could not enter the room. if he tried to push the vampires aside, it might be taken as an attack and remove restriction on the attacked vampire.
he entered the next room, which was not protected at all.
"it's time to start."
seojin drew out his rusted sword.
