The worst situation had unfolded for Kim Seojin.
Even the Regressor was siding with Jiang Min, despite his logic clearly being exaggerated.
This only pointed to one thing. The Regressor was the second killer.
'I really hoped it wouldn't be him.'
Even with the additional strength boost he received after equipping the sword, his strength stat was still lower than Lee Taehyung.
Even his agility and stamina was lower, and that was when Lee Taehyung hadn't even used his free stat points yet.
The only thing in which he far surpassed the Regressor was magic. But he had no skills to use his magic reserves.
'To think that I might die a second time in the last few days..'
He wanted to laugh at his bad luck.
'But if he thinks I will sit back and accept death, then you are wrong.'
'I can't only use Guidance to peek at their secrets once a day. But when it comes to battle and guidance in fight, I can use it as many times as I want.'
He didn't exceed the Regressor in stats. He didn't surpass the Regressor in fighting experience.
Both of them had a Unique Grade Class. Hence, everything looked to be against him in this match.
Still, even without fighting experience or stats, he believed he could hold his ground as long as he followed the battle guidance.
Life and death was uncertain, but he didn't want to die without trying. With his first death, he had no chance to resist.
He was the first to die. But this time, he didn't want to fail again.
"The identities of the Killers are revealed. You should stay away and try to protect yourself as much as possible."
With two Killers revealed, the other Survivor was also revealed.
Kim Seojin didn't ask him for help. Lee Junho was someone who had the class more suitable for a cook.
He could scheme to kill players, but in straight battles, he was very useless.
If anything, he could become the first person in this team to die.
With even one Survivor's death, the killers could win. The second Survivor was going to be erased without being given a chance.
For Kim Seojin, it was much better to fight alone than to fight with Lee Junho and lose control over his own fate.
"Hmph, it's not because I'm scared of them. But I will listen to you because I'm too lazy to deal with them."
Lee Junho didn't argue back. He behaved just as Seojin expected him to. He was cowardly while being pretentious.
He moved behind Kim Seojin, who became a wall separating the second Survivor from the Killers.
"As I expected, he is the second killer. Both of you deserve to die!"
Jiang Min laughed seeing both his targets gathering together.
In his mind, there was no doubt about the identity of the survivors anymore. For him this game was won by them already.
"I am weaker, so I will take care of Kim Seojin. You can kill the stronger one."
Despite Lee Taehyung being the top ranker, it was Jiang Min who took the lead in the battle.
'Everything is going according to plan. Lee Taehyung and Lee Junho were both in the top 5 ranking. No matter who won, the other would be weakened.'
'All I have to do is drag the battle with Kim Seojin. I can't let Lee Junho be erased. And there is no point in killing Seojin who has no points in the first place.'
He had already thought about everything in his mind. He intentionally took Kim Seojin as his Target, all so he could cause Taehyung and Junho to fight.
'If Lee Taehyung wins, he will get the contribution points of Lee Junho. After killing him, I'll get all the points instead.'
'If Lee Junho wins, he will get Lee Taehyung's points. And after killing him, I will get both their points!'
'It doesn't matter who wins. The ultimate winner will be me.'
He didn't just scheme against the survivors, but he also schemed against his own teammate.
He was trying his hardest to resist the urge to laugh. It was really hard to pretend to be weak.
He was already looking forward to the time when his name was going to appear in the Ranking List as the Top Contributor.
"Huh?"
He suddenly froze, feeling a finger touching his shoulder.
" What are you doing?" he asked, only to hear one word in response.
[Soul Snatch]
Jiang Min's eyes became empty. In the blink of an eye, his breathing stopped.
He dropped to the ground with a thud.
Kim Seojin was also surprised by the sudden change. Were the two killers having some conflict?
'No, that's not it. It means the Regressor is not the second killer! Then the killer must be…'
Before he could finish his line of thought, his [Guidance] activated on its own.
A message appeared in his mind, telling him to dodge to the left.
The Guidance felt like it was part of his body. It was like his instincts were guiding him.
Before he could even hear the message properly, his body moved on its own.
He took a few steps to the left, noticing a sword sliding forth from his right side, missing him by a small width.
A thin thread appeared before him again, giving him a sword path.
He didn't have time to be shocked. He moved his sword, and sliced through the thin thread, not letting his sword lose the rail.
Lee Junho swung his sword, intending to slice Kim Seojin.
Kim Seojin didn't care about anything else. He was more immersed in his sword path.
To trail the path, he bent down and continued with his sword movement.
Lee Junho's sword missed Kim Seojin, but he didn't miss.
His sword came swinging, sliding through Lee Junho's legs.
Arghh!
Lee Junho fell to his knees, his feet completely separated from the rest of his body.
Kim Seojin still wasn't out of his daze, even as his sword left a trail of red in its wake.
He kept following the sword path and stood up. He turned his sword down, and thrust with all his might.
