Yuharang looked confused at the two people’s voices.
A voice telling me to die as a god and a voice telling me to live as a human.
‘Is Seo Kang-rim really a bad person like his father said? Is he trying to deceive me?’
In the midst of confusion, Yu Ha-rang looked into Seo Kang-rim’s eyes.
There was not an ounce of falsehood or greed in his eyes.
Like someone who really just wants to save himself.
“If you want to save these people, you must not die! I will tell you the way! So do not obey Yoo Seon-min’s words!”
“… … .”
“If you die like this, everyone here will become murderers! Is that what you want?”
At those words, Yu Harang’s fingertips began to tremble.
I wanted to save my followers, but am I actually making them commit sins?
Looking around, the faces of the believers were filled with murderous intent.
Even the believers who had been kind to him had lost their usual smiles and had become sharp, as if possessed by something.
This is not what Yu Harang wanted.
I didn’t want people to be unhappy like this.
Yu Harang, who had been hesitating, clenched his fist.
[The ability ‘Forced Release’ is cancelled!]
At that moment, Seo Kang-rim felt the sensation that had been squeezing his body disappear.
Yu Ha-rang was no longer Yu Seon-min’s ally.
Meanwhile, Yoo Seon-min was screaming and making a fuss.
“Everyone, kill Seo Kang-rim and kill Yu Ha-rang! Quickly!”
At those words, the believers’ attacks became more intense.
But it was of no use to Seo Kang-rim.
He shouted at the leaders.
“Yorongi, subdue the people! Linny, put out the fire with the water gun!”
“Kyaang!”
“Wow!”
Before we knew it, the ‘forced release’ had been canceled, and the spirits began to run wild like fish in water.
As Yo-rong-i began to breathe out poisonous fog, people began to fall down one by one.
However, the problem was on Linney’s side.
“Huh, woof!”
The tower was burning too fast.
If there was a sufficient water source nearby, it could evolve into a ‘water catcher’, but for now, all it had was moisture in the air.
The tower had become a giant ball of fire.
‘I’m going to die in the end.’
Yuharang looked down at the flames coming towards him.
Before I knew it, all sides were blocked by fire.
I felt like my whole body was burning from the heat.
Just a moment ago I wasn’t afraid of dying, but now I was so scared.
I wanted to live.
I really wanted to live desperately, but the flames were getting closer and closer.
The moment when Yu Harang tightly closed her eyes, sensing death.
“With Yuha!”
Someone’s voice was heard from beyond the flames.
Yuharang lifted her head, holding back tears.
As if by a miracle, someone was standing in front of him.
“Seo, Seo Kang-rim… … ?”
Seo Kang-rim, wearing the ‘Gwangyeom Iljang’ all over his body, was standing in the middle of the flames.
When I saw that sight, tears flowed without me knowing.
No one tried to save themselves.
Everyone wanted him to die.
“Yoo Ha-rang, let’s go!”
He quickly picked up Yuharang and hugged her.
‘The Light of Fire’ also touched Yu Ha-rang, but it didn’t hurt, it was just warm.
-Kkwaruk!
As the wooden tower collapsed, Seo Kang-rim jumped down while holding Yu Ha-rang in her arms.
Yu Harang hugged Seo Kang Rim’s neck tightly and cried loudly.
“Oh, I thought no one would save me… … .”
“It’s safe now. All that’s left to do is go outside.”
The rest of the people were almost subdued by Liny and Yorongi.
But Yoo Seon-min was in good condition.
As the demon spit out venom and made threatening noises, the believers blocked his path.
“Protect the Vice-Chairman!”
A shield made of humans.
The brainwashed humans stood in front of Yoo Seon-min without any fear.
He shouted with bloodshot eyes.
“Yuha-rang, you can never leave! If you want to leave, you’ll have to kill everyone here!”

Yuharang couldn’t say anything.
Even if I gave up on becoming a god, I couldn’t kill people.
Seo Kang-rim glanced at them and said.
“Yuharang, use your power.”
“Ability?”
“Forced release. That will de-brainwash those people.”
If it were Yoo Harang’s power, he could bring them back to their senses.
But Yuharang was still hesitating.
The believers seemed happy in this little paradise.
Is it really right to disobey your father’s will?
Seo Kang-rim whispered softly to Yu Ha-rang, who was hesitating.
“You want to protect your followers. Give those people freedom. If you are truly their leader.”
Yu Ha-rang looked at the floor with trembling eyes, then raised her head as if she had made up her mind about something.
A clear voice rang out to the congregation.
“Everyone, open your eyes! Get out of the brainwashing!”
It was a loud voice that did not suit his small body.
And then a notification window appeared before the eyes of the few people standing closest to Yu Harang.
[The ability ‘Forced Release’ is activated!]
“Huh? What the heck… … ?”
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“Ugh, why am I hurt? My body hurts so much… … ?”
Hearing Yu Harang’s voice, several people suddenly raised their heads.
A face that looks like it’s waking up from a dream.
Seeing that, Yoo Seon-min said with a mocking laugh.
“How many people can we do that! We can’t unbrainwash hundreds of people… …!”
But Yu Harang’s talents did not stop there.
Seo Kang-rim was constantly injecting his magical power into Yu Ha-rang.
Also, Seo Kang-rim wasn’t the only ally.
“Whoosh!”
[The ability ‘Harmony of the Five Elements’ is activated!]
‘Harmony of the Five Elements’ is a power that increases the effects of other powers.
Yu Harang realized that her body was filled with magical power and started shouting again.
“Get away from the voice of brainwashing!”
[The ability ‘Harmony of the Five Elements’ is activated!]
[The ability ‘Forced Release’ is activated!]
As the harmony of the five elements was added, the forced release began to gain speed.
Light returned to the eyes of those who had been dazed.
As quickly as the pyre was burned down, the believers returned to their original state.
“This, this is ridiculous… … .”
Now the only person standing is Yoo Seon-min.
There was no sound of prayer, only the sounds of people groaning in pain.
After everyone’s brainwashing was lifted, Yu Harang passed out due to exhaustion of magical power.
In the place where all the believers had fallen, only Seo Kang-rim was standing in front of Yoo Seon-min.
Both eyes were burning with an indescribable murderous intent.
Yoo Seon-min trembled and took a step back when he saw those eyes.
“Ha, Harang-ah. Get up. Get up! Help your father… … .”
“father?”
-Crunch!
The sword made an eerie sound and drew a red line on Yoo Seon-min’s body.
Red blood flowed down the nape of his neck.
The voices of lies and delusion were not able to pass the tongue.
“Where does someone who wants to kill his own child call himself a parent?”
In an instant, Yoo Seon-min’s clothes were soaked with blood.
Seo Kang-rim stabbed Yoo Seon-min again, who had fallen.
“If you want God so badly, then die and become God.”
“Seo, Gang… … .”
Yoo Seon-min’s body began to tremble and eventually stopped moving.
After stealing his fortune, Seo Kang-rim held the unconscious Yu Ha-rang in his arms.
The child was so small and fragile that he seemed almost fragile.
A child who failed to become a god.
A child who will live a long life as a human in the future.
Seo Kang-rim hugged Yoo Ha-rang tightly and then moved his feet.
“Let’s go out, Yuharang.”
There was no answer from the unconscious Yu Ha-rang.
But Yuharang was smiling faintly, as if she could hear the voice.
[The fates of ‘Yoo Ha-rang’ and ‘Seo Kang-rim’ begin to intertwine.]
[The twisted fate finds its place according to Seo Kang-rim’s will.]
[Seogangrim’s Fate level increases to Ghostly Second Grade!]
13. The order of the twelve zodiac signs
[Seongeun-gyo, a pseudo-religious group that brainwashed people using their supernatural powers, is exposed]
[It has been confirmed that there are hundreds of victims. We have successfully rescued the victims who were held captive… … .]
“Wow, there’s only talk of Sungkyo here and there.”
Yoon Gyul-wool, who was looking at the news and community, said in shock.
As he said, the media was awash with stories about Sung Eun-kyo.
Several days have passed since rescuing Yu Ha-rang from Seongeun Bridge.
Stories of pseudo-religions, especially those that use supernatural powers, were enough to become gossip.
Jang Tae-heon, who was gathered at the hotel and reading the article together, clicked his tongue and said, “Tsk.”
“You went to such a dangerous place alone, brother? Tell us.”
The article also included a brief story about me.
[Hunter Seo Kang-rim, while investigating Seong Eun-gyo after receiving a report, uncovers the truth.]
The group that read that article nagged me so much.
Even now, everyone looked displeased.
I spoke to Jang Tae-heon, who was glaring at me.
“The complaint simply said that Seong Eun-gyo was suspicious. I thought it was nothing serious.”
“Well, how would I have known that you would kill a child and turn him into a god?”
Jang Tae-heon continued speaking with a slightly softened expression.
“But there’s nothing about Yu Ha-rang in the article?”
Most of what was reported in the article was similar to the truth.
It is said that Yoo Seon-min used his supernatural powers to brainwash people and extort money to expand his cult.
But there was a difference.
[Seongeun Church leader Yoo Seon-min dies at the scene.]
The leader was recorded as Yoo Seon-min.
The story about Yu Harang was not mentioned anywhere.
There is also a story about trying to kill a child and make him into a god.
“I told the Protectorate differently. It was Yoo Seon-min, not Yoo Ha-rang, who was the leader.”
“why?”
“The story about Yuha-rang is interesting in many ways. Even after Yuha-rang is rescued, things might get difficult.”
It was like that in my past life too.
Yu Ha-rang’s story spread far and wide through the media and garnered the attention of many people.
In a sense, Yu Harang has become a divine figure.
Because of that, many people approached Yuharang.
There were also those who tried to create a new religion, led by Yu Harang.
During the process, Yu Ha-rang showed severe anxiety symptoms.
“Kang-rim is right. This child has suffered enough already, so he should live a normal life now.”
Shin Soo-ah said with a low sigh.
As she said, Yuharang suffered too much.
Yu Ha-rang, who was imprisoned for a long time and almost murdered by her adoptive father.
It was a situation where it wouldn’t have been strange for someone to suffer from trauma.
Whenever I thought of the young Yu Ha-rang, my heart became complicated.
I was lost in thought for a moment.
The door opened and someone came in.
“Seo Kang-rim! Are you here?”
I turned around at the sound of Yuharang’s lively voice.
I couldn’t help but be amazed at the sight.
Yuharang was walking on her own two feet, albeit clumsily.
