Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 130

Seo-jin nodded in response to the voice resounding in his head.

“Yes… I don’t know how I can ever atone… Hyung, what should I do?”

"I’ll create a portal for you. Step through it, and I’ll show you a way to atone."

As soon as Seo-jun’s words ended, a portal materialized in Seo-jin’s room, revealing a vast plain beyond.

"So this is where I’m supposed to go."

Seo-jin stood up immediately. Despite having been cooped up in his room like a recluse, he didn’t hesitate to step into the portal, driven by the hope of atonement.

"You’re here."

On the other side of the portal, Seo-jin saw Seo-jun standing with his five wives by his side. The sight of them together caused a pang of pain in Seo-jin’s chest, but the relentless torment in his heart dulled the sensation, allowing him to suppress it more quickly.

“Hyung….”

Even now, Seo-jun’s expression was cold and unreadable. Seo-jin had no idea what his brother was thinking, and he realized he had heard nothing about the fate of Baek Hyung-won and Kim Yoo-jung.

“Baek Hyung-won and Kim Yoo-jung are imprisoned for now, preparing to face their punishment. If you successfully atone, I’ll seal their mana and release them afterward. Keep that in mind.”

“…I understand.”

Seo-jin’s face stiffened at the mention of his parents being imprisoned, but upon hearing Seo-jun’s promise, he nodded.

"If I can atone for my sins and free my parents…"

Seo-jin thought that even if they were powerless, he could take care of them in a quiet countryside. That seemed like enough.

As Seo-jin mulled over his thoughts, Seo-jun spoke.

“I’ll explain what you need to do. Don’t blame me if it scares you.”

“I won’t run away.”

Hearing Seo-jin’s firm reply, Seo-jun gazed at him with his piercing red eyes, unreadable as ever.

“All right, then listen carefully.”

Seo-jun explained the existence of the Extraterrestrials and how The Fox That Devours Worlds would soon manifest in this world.

He also revealed that the recent SSS-class villain attacks had been orchestrated by The Fox That Devours Worlds. As Seo-jin listened, his face grew pale.

"Extraterrestrials?"

Seo-jun explained further that the Kangin Guild, led by Choi Kang-in, had been created specifically to counter such threats.

"Something like this…!"

The scale of the story was staggering, far beyond Seo-jin’s imagination. Seo-jun had been acting to protect the world from threats no one else even knew existed.

It was difficult to fully believe.

“If you doubt me, I can let you talk to Choi Kang-in.”

“…No, I believe you.”

“Even so, it might help clear your doubts. Let’s get him on the phone.”

Seo-jun dialed Choi Kang-in’s number on his phone.

- “Oh! Seo-jun, what’s the occasion? Are you calling to schedule the press announcement about inheriting the Kangin Guild?”

Hearing Choi Kang-in’s voice and his words about handing over the Kangin Guild, Seo-jin’s doubts evaporated completely.

"It really is Hyung…"

Seo-jin looked at Seo-jun, who had been recognized by Choi Kang-in and loved by Seo-mun Ye-jin and the others. The reality of his own inferiority and suppressed desires became painfully clear.

Seo-jun, unfazed, explained the situation.

“I called because Seo-jin doesn’t fully believe in the extraterrestrial threat. Could you vouch for it?”

- “Ah, so that’s what this is about? Of course. Seo-jin, I’ve been watching your progress. It’s obvious your parents ruined you.”

Seo-jin let out a bitter smile.

“It’s my own fault.”

- “Well, in any case, Seo-jun is right. The Kangin Guild was created to save the world, and my search for a successor was to find someone capable of doing just that.”

With Choi Kang-in’s confirmation, Seo-jin had no choice but to believe. Despite the overwhelming scale of the story, the truth was undeniable.

“Does this prove it for you? Thanks for your help, sir.”

- “No problem. Call me anytime.”

As the call ended, Seo-jin asked, “What do I need to do?”

“I plan to force The Fox That Devours Worlds to manifest early.”

“What?!”

Seo-jun explained his reasoning: if left unchecked, The Fox would eventually descend with its full power, causing catastrophic damage. Forcing its manifestation while it was still weak would give them a fighting chance.

“You mean to weaken it before it appears?”

“Exactly. And I’ve prepared what I need to make that happen.”

Though Seo-jin didn’t know what the preparations entailed, he could guess what Seo-jun intended to ask of him.

“You want me to fight it, don’t you?”

“Yes. I’ll suppress its power so you can fight it.”

Seo-jin clenched his fists.

As an SSS-class hunter, he had power, but it was nowhere near enough to rival Seo-jun or someone like Choi Kang-in. Even Seo-mun Ye-jin seemed far stronger than him.

“Do you think I can win?”

“No, you’ll probably lose.”

Hearing this, Seo-jin understood Seo-jun’s intention.

“…You want me to hurt it as much as possible before I die, don’t you?”

“That’s part of it. There’s also a chance you might survive.”

Seo-jin bowed his head.

"Slim chance of survival…"

Knowing he would likely die, Seo-jin didn’t ask if his death would redeem his sins. That felt like bargaining, and he wanted no part of that. Instead, he asked:

“If I die… will you take my parents’ sins with me?”

“It’ll be difficult, but I promise I won’t seek further revenge on them. Their mana will remain sealed, and they’ll live as powerless mortals.”

“That’s enough for me.”

Resolved, Seo-jin took the sword Seo-jun handed him.

“Use this to fight.”

“Thank you….”

“Wait for ten minutes. I’ll summon The Fox That Devours Worlds now.”

“…Understood.”

Prepared for death, Seo-jin braced himself for the battle ahead.

"Not bad…"

With this chance to atone for his sins, assist Seo-jun’s mission, and leave his mark against a world-threatening foe, Seo-jin felt a renewed sense of purpose.

For the first time in a long while, his spirit burned with determination.
