I was worried about that at first too, but then I remembered this series has a reputation for being edgelordy.


And, in a way, he kinda WAS relieved of the moral choice by the quest. The quest said if he didn't defeat them, his heart would stop. And it didn't make it clear whether that's because they would kill him if he didn't, or if the system would kill him as a penalty. Which turns it into a question of survival instead of morality.

Although, the quest did say "defeat" not "kill". So I'm curious if he could have just knocked them out and still completed the quest.
