Chapter 170

A Vampire’s lifespan was usually twice that of a modern-day human being. Plus, the nobler a bloodline was, the longer the life expectancy became; and then, there were unique Vampires with ageless appearance as well those boasting much, much longer lifespan as well, such as that el Las kid. So, after considering all those points, Lillia decided that she’d refuse to believe Sae-Jin was a human being.

“You say you’re a human, yet you’ve lived for how long…?” (Lillia)

Her expressions showed her complete failure to understand this quandary. Of course, this was par for the course, really.

To ‘share’ the same time period with others were a prerequisite element to being alive, so, no longer constrained by the normal flow of time, Sae-Jin came very close to losing his sense of self, his ego.

“….Technically, I haven’t lived for that long time. The actual time I spent awake is only around 50 years or so.” (Sae-Jin)

Waiting around had become too much burden to endure. It was just too unbearable nowadays.

Hell, he even ended up suffering the worst of all bad inflictions he could’ve come down with – insomnia. He probably couldn’t fall asleep for almost two years back then.

Whenever he remembered back to those times, Sae-Jin had to wonder just how he had endured until now. It was to a point where even he himself was mystified by it, and felt somewhat proud, as well.

Whatever the case may have been, the Leviathan’s growth rate had finally reached 95%. If he waited for another 70 years or so, he was confident of reaching the fully matured state.

“Lillia, there’s something I want to ask you about.” (Sae-Jin)

Sae-Jin looked down at the kneeling Lillia and grinned slightly. Even at that simple gesture, she was trembling quite pitifully. She was reminded of the past not too long ago when she got mercilessly pummeled by nothing more than Sae-Jin’s single magic spell, that was why.

“And your reply should be…?” (Sae-Jin)

“Y, yes, sir. Ask me anything…” (Lillia)

Compared to how on the knife-edge she sounded before the beating, her voice was far more softer now. It sounded more or less like Lillia from his memories, so Sae-Jin felt quite chuffed by that.

“By any chance, do you want to go back to your homeworld?” (Sae-Jin)

In a way, what he asked about was completely out of the blue. Lillia became dazed for a minute there, before she shook her head quite vigorously.

“No, no, no. No way. I can’t go back to that hellhole now…” (Lillia)

“But, what if you could go back?” (Sae-Jin)

“………Eh?”

To be absolutely honest, if he were to take care of the Vampire Lord and that el Las kid as they were about to cross over, then the world would not experience the Fissure opening up way ahead of schedule, like how it was with his future. According to Bathory, it would’ve only opened up naturally after 100 years or so.

However.

It was indeed a terribly selfish wish of his, but if he did stop them now, then it was unknown whether ‘he’ would be able to meet any of those precious people or not. They might even forget about the existence of ‘Kim Sae-Jin’ altogether, as well.

What was the real purpose of him waiting and enduring the past 600 years? What was it?

Wasn’t it simply because he wanted to see them again?

He came to the past to save the world because, in the process of saving everyone, he also benefited from that as well.

There was no grand reason. That was it, his sole purpose.

That was why… he’d never ever do something that might threaten the direction of the future.
