Shin Soo Ah was looking for me.
I couldn’t believe it.
Why on earth?
I felt a mixture of joy and anxiety at the fact that Shin Soo-ah was looking for me.
Is it possible that fate is not dead?
Moreover, I couldn’t figure out how her voice could reach here.
The unpaid telecommunications service was still down.
She was still looking for me, but there was no way back.
Even if I go back, I have no body to settle down in.
Because Lee Hyun would have killed my body for crossing the boundary.
Meanwhile, the message was blinking dimly.
Anyway, this too is just a vain hope.
As I was thinking that, a voice reached my ear.
I stood up from my seat without realizing it.
* * *
Dusk was falling over the city, bringing rain.
The flames that were burning throughout the destroyed city center were being cooled by unexpected heavy rain.
The corpses of the demons lying on the road were also being washed away by the rain.
Seo Kang-rim’s body was also sitting on the floor, getting hit by the cold rain all over his body.
The raindrops were running down my cheeks.
Although he looked like a corpse, his body still had body heat.
-Ugh, ugh… … .
He was struggling to move somehow.
My whole body was frozen as if paralyzed, but movement was slowly returning, starting with my fingers.
Seo Hwa-kyung’s urgent voice echoed through the heavy rain.
“Lee Hyun, did you activate Undog? It’s still moving!”
“Yes, it has been activated!”
“You didn’t lie to me, did you?”
“If that was the case, I wouldn’t have even mentioned it in the first place!”
The spell was activated, but Seo Kang-rim’s body did not die.
When Seo Kang-rim came to Lee Hyeon and asked him to kill her, Lee Hyeon, after much thought, shared this fact with Seo Hwa-kyung.
No matter how much I hated him, I couldn’t just leave him to die like this.
When Seo Hwa-kyung heard the news, instead of trying to dissuade or persuade Seo Kang-rim, she chose a different method.
If we can’t stop Seo Kang-rim from crossing the boundary, we must prepare for what comes after.
Accordingly, Seo Hwa-gyeong instructed that the activation effect of Undok be changed.
The activation effect of Undoc is not death, but inability to act.
If things were normal, it would have been normal for it to hang like a corpse.
However, Seo Kang-rim’s body, which had reached the realm of the superhuman, was resisting the poison.
“I guess I have no choice but to beat them all up. Do-hyeon, tie them up!”
“Yes, Mother!”
The amulets that had been fixed between each of Kang Do-hyeon’s fingers quickly flew towards Seo Kang-rim.
As the restraints were placed all over his body, his movements became weaker, but his gaze became even more intense.
Seeing the amulets vibrating as if they were about to fall off, I didn’t think I would be able to hold out much longer.
“Everyone, get ready!”
Seo Hwa-gyeong shouted at the Bihomun group surrounding her.
They were standing their ground as instructed beforehand.
Everyone’s face turned pale when they saw Seo Kang-rim, who had turned into a beast.
The scene I saw in the dream sent by Sookmyung.
The image of Seo Kang-rim brutally murdering them appeared in reality.
Yohan, who was creating a protective shield next to Seo Hwa-kyung, spoke with a pale face.
“Really… … Can you really call my brother? No one can come back once they cross the border… … .”
“If it wasn’t destroyed but moved to another space, then it’s entirely possible for it to return.”
She had prepared many things for this day.
There were talismans prepared in advance forming a barrier around the area, and flags were planted here and there.
The sight was like a ritual to summon a god.
Seo Hwa-gyeong was also wearing a martial arts uniform instead of her usual clothes and was holding a bell in both hands.
“Senior, are you okay? Didn’t the experiment of summoning a soul from beyond the boundary fail?”
Lee Hyeon, who was preparing the ceremony next to me, asked with concern.
I’ve tried several times to summon the soul of a human who has crossed the boundary, but every time I’ve tried I’ve failed.
But Seo Hwa-kyung’s face was stern.
“This time it’s different. There is a guide who is definitely connected to Seo Kang-rim, and the sacrifices are abundant and sufficient.”
She is a shaman, someone with the ability to summon spirits and gods.
There were plenty of experiences of summoning powerful gods, and Seo Kang-rim was not an ordinary human, but a human who had become a god.
They prepared an abundance of offerings for the excellent shaman.
The demons that were lying all over this city were the sacrifices.
There was another guide there who could summon the spirit of Seo Kang-rim.
It was Shin Soo Ah.

Their souls were so strongly connected that they had each been possessed by the other.
Two people connected as soul and soul, body and body, god and god.
There was no one more suitable than Shin Soo Ah to guide Seo Kang Rim’s soul.
The possibilities were there and we were ready to have a good time.
Now I just have to finish the ritual before that shell goes wild.
Seo Hwa-gyeong shouted at the Bihomun group.
“Now that the ritual is underway, everyone must be prepared to die to stop Seo Kang-rim! Lee Hyun! Prepare your music!”
[The ability ‘Chohonje’ is activated!]
A ritual to summon the soul, chohon (招魂).
The sound of the flute played by Lee Hyeon was sharp and clear, signaling the beginning of the first rite.
Seo Hwa-gyeong’s trembling voice carried a melody that had been passed down among shamans since ancient times.
When that sound was heard, Seo Kang-rim’s shell began to react violently.
-Ugh… … !
The suppressed body was seen moving as if it was swelling up.
As soon as Seo Kang-rim got up, as if breaking the entangled chains, his body caught fire.
[The ability ‘*염■§’ is activated!]
A fire that doesn’t go out even when rain pours down overhead.
Once the flames consumed all the amulets, there was nothing left that could stop him.
As the last talisman disappeared, Seo Kang-rim rushed to destroy the protective shield protecting Seo Hwa-gyeong.
-Quaqua light!
But in the meantime, someone jumped in and took Seo Kang-rim’s attack instead.
It was Jang Tae-heon.
His armor withstood Seo Kang-rim’s sword strike, but was shattered with just one strike.
Jang Tae-heon shouted with his mouth clenched.
“Brother Kang-rim, come to your senses!”
I couldn’t tell if the rain running down my face was rain or tears.
But even after seeing that face, Seo Kang-rim’s expression did not change.
Just like the dream that came to the Bihomun group, the scene when Seo Kangrim annihilated them.
-Bam, bang!
Seo Kang-rim’s sword flew mercilessly toward Jang Tae-heon.
Jang Tae-heon’s weapon was already shattered into pieces.
Although it would have been suicidal to confront Seo Kang-rim with bare hands, he persistently blocked her.
-Phew!
Blood flowed out from every place the sword stabbed and cut, and it felt like my entire body was breaking apart under the weight of the sword I was swinging.
The regeneration speed of the ‘Regenerating Snake’ was too fast to keep up.
The unchanging eternity was extinguished, and the borrowed fates had returned to their respective owners.
Although Seo Kang-rim’s power had diminished to that extent, the destructive power was still unmanageable.
Jang Tae-heon was blocking the attack even though his whole body felt like it was being torn apart.
-Ta-aang!
At that moment, Seo Kang-rim’s head turned back.
Arrows and bullets coated in anesthetic were flying from behind.
He started to charge straight into it without even thinking about avoiding it.
As Seo Kang-rim was running towards the snipers, taking the attacks with his whole body, someone blocked his way.
“Haha, Seo Kang-rim! You look great!”
Dokgo Jun’s eyes were shining with joy and madness.
His skin was tinted a strange green.
This was because his guardian angel, ‘The Indescribable’, was in a partially possessed state.
-Kwaaaaa!
Tentacles and black rats grew from all directions and surged toward Seogangrim like a tidal wave.
Seo Kang-rim’s ankles were tied by the onslaught of attacks that left him nowhere to run.
Dokgo Jun swung his sword as if he was going to kill him.
“You’ll stop me at least to this extent, right? It’ll be disappointing if I die!”
The sound of swords clashing against each other continued, piercing my ears.
If he gave it even a moment’s opening, the tentacles would try to grab Seo Kang-rim, and if he avoided them, a sword would fly at him.
The sword strike imbued with divine power was quite fierce, but Seo Kang-rim’s expression did not change.
Just his empty eyes flashing with a merciless light.
[The ability ‘Seo■Bul$’ is activated!]
-Oh my god!
The ground froze in an instant, freezing all the tentacles.
That wasn’t the end.
The tips of the raindrops pouring down toward the ground began to become sharp like awls.
Tens of thousands of spear blades were pouring down from the sky.
The attack was not only targeting Dokgo Jun, but everyone in the area.
At that moment, when the attacks were pouring down with nowhere to run, a loud voice rang out.
“Wake up, Seo Kang-rim!”
[The ability ‘Forced Release’ is activated!]
Yuharang’s voice echoed through the sky and it felt like time was flowing backwards.
The pouring ice blades returned to their original shape, and the ice that had been holding my ankles melted in an instant.
However, Seo Kang-rim’s attack is so widespread that only some parts are being released.
The magic circuit was already overloaded, but Yu Harang did not stop and continued to block Seo Kang Rim’s power.
“Woooosh!”
Next to her, Liny was supporting Yuharang with all her might, and the ice picks that had not been released in time were being crushed by Yorongi’s flames.
The ice pick flew towards Seo Hwa-kyung, but Yohan’s shield desperately protected her.
At that moment, Seo Kang-rim turned his gaze towards them.
-Crack!
Dokgo Jun’s sword pierced Seo Kang Rim’s thigh.
The attack went in, but Seo Kang-rim counterattacked.
Even though his chest was deeply cut, a smile spread across Dokgo Jun’s face.
“Wow, Seo Kang-rim is no joke… …! This is what a main character should be like. It’s a shame to let her go like this! I only treat her as a happy ending!”
Meanwhile, the sound of the flute and the song continued to resonate incessantly.
Seo Kang-rim’s body was showing a strong rejection reaction to it.
Pain, or perhaps anger, began to fill his empty face.
Seo Kang-rim’s shell threw Dokgo Jun aside and rushed towards Seo Hwa-kyung.
But there was someone standing in front of him.
The overwhelming presence of a giant tree.
The green eyes, wet from the rain, were only looking at Seo Kang-rim.
-Kaga River!
The clashing swords let out a cry.
The sound of metal being struck every time the workshop came and went sounded like the melody of a musical instrument.
Even as her whole body trembled in shock, Shin Soo-ah was shouting as if to drown out the sound of the rain.
“Seo Kang-rim, Mr. Seo Kang-rim!”
She screamed at the top of her lungs, but there was no response on Seo Kang-rim’s face.
She continued to shout, even as she looked at the face that was pushing her as if she was a complete stranger.
It was because of what Seo Hwa-kyung said.
[Once the ritual begins, continue to call Seo Kang-rim. Call her continuously with your body and soul.]
[Is it any use if I can’t even get through with the free phone?]
[It doesn’t matter. Don’t stop and keep calling. You are the one who is most deeply connected to Seo Kang-rim among these people.]
They were each other’s gods, they were each other’s gods.
A relationship that will never end unless one party disappears.
No matter how far apart we were, the contract was never broken.
Shin Soo-ah constantly called Seo Kang-rim with her body and soul.
Hot tears mixed with the rain and scattered in all directions.
Her neck was already split and blood was gushing out, but she didn’t stop and called his name.
“Seo Kang-rim, come back!”
