Previously, we saw how Ha Yun actually discovered the true power that resided in his body. It was a calm summer and peaceful day when he found out that it actually was his toes that the energy that he was feeling was coming from. That is the reason why fans of the series are really excited to find out what is going to happen next time in the upcoming Raising the Demonic Cult’s Leader Chapter 9.
The main character is Ha-yun, a graduate student who has gained special powers. Using these powers, he goes back in time and adopts a boy named Seomun Cheon-oh.
This boy was originally destined to become the evil leader of a dangerous cult when he grew up. But Ha-yun believes strongly that children should be protected and nurtured. So, he hopes he can raise Seomun to become a good person instead and change the boy’s dark fate.
However, as Seomun gets older, his inner darkness begins to show. At one point, he states, “I want to rip their heads off,” referring to enemies.
This makes Ha-yun question whether he has failed and if Seomun is reverting to his original evil destiny after all. Ha-Yun wonders if this bloodlust goes against the true principles of the martial arts he has learned.
It leaves him questioning what it really means to be a martial artist if he cannot steer this boy toward the light and help him overcome his innate violence.
The story sets up a classic nature versus nurture conflict, with Ha-yun struggling to control Seomun’s apparent dark nature through compassionate nurturing. There is sadness and irony as he watches his efforts seem to fail.
Recap and Review
The story then conveys a tragic turn of events in the story. Ha-yun is horrified when seven-year-old Seomun articulates ruthlessly cruel ideas about exacting revenge.
This makes Ha-yun question – if a child faces traumatic events, is a desire for vengeance inevitable even if they are raised with compassion?
As an adult, Ha-yun feels compelled to deter Seomun from these dark thoughts. But his efforts are futile.
Seomun remains stubbornly fixated on creating merciless martial arts techniques, either to protect himself or seek retribution for past wrongs.
Ha-yun is left defeated and dismayed. Despite nurturing Seomun lovingly, the boy’s inner darkness is proving inextinguishable.
The passage poignantly highlights how exposure to violence and trauma at a young age can engender a cycle of revenge.
And it suggests that even the best intentions sometimes fail when a child’s formative experiences shape their core being.
The story provides a tragic portrait of good versus evil, with Ha-yun struggling to redeem Seomun through compassion but seemingly unable to conquer the demons of the boy’s past.
Later in the story, we find out that Seomun has become so immersed in studying lethal martial arts that he detaches emotionally and struggles to communicate verbally. His well-honed fighter instincts make him prone to reacting coldly and solemnly rather than thoughtfully engaging.
Additionally, Seomun disregards his teacher Ha-yun’s guidance, remaining stubbornly fixated on his own agendas. He frequently dismisses or ignores Ha-yun’s assigned tasks.
Yet ironically, Seomun has grown fiercely attached to and dependent on Ha-yun despite his defiance. Having lost his birth parents, the boy’s past vengeful mentality has transformed into an obsessive need to keep his adopted father, Ha-yun, by his side.
Spoilers and Expectations
This complex psychological portrait indicates how a childhood filled with violence can engender a dangerous martial artist – cold, disconnected, distrustful of words, yet desperately clinging to a sole caregiver.
Seomun has become extremely skilled in vicious fighting techniques. Yet he is unable to nurture healthy relationships beyond his single strained father-son bond that still compels his allegiance.
