He completely ignored the scornful remarks from the town's young people.
In fact, he had experienced this kind of situation countless times.
Since the God of Light could no longer protect humanity, people had abandoned their faith.
Yet there were still people like Father Barry who remained guarding the church.
At the same time, he often received strange looks from other people in the town.
People frequently mocked Father Barry for continuing to believe in a god who had forsaken humanity, as if such behavior brought them some perverse satisfaction.
Father Barry, being older, didn't care much about these things.
After listening to their mocking, he ignored their expressions and went about his business, leaving them with nothing to amuse themselves with.
Father Barry was unwilling to argue with people, but Hanjun was not going to let those who dared to mock him go easily.
"So, you must be quite confident in your ability to defeat the demons, right?"
Hanjun appeared behind Father Barry, dressed in the simplest white shirt and brown trousers of this era, blending in with the townsfolk.
Yet his striking blonde hair and handsome appearance still caught the attention of the young people.
Upon hearing his words, the young people fumbled and hesitated, unwilling to speak freely.
If they could defeat the demons, would they need to flee from Ulon Town?
The leader of the group, stubbornly holding his ground, retorted, "Well, escaping is better than staying here and dying, right? When you're dead, you lose everything."
Hanjun with hands behind his back, smiled and said, "If you want to escape, then go ahead. But Father Barry stays behind for those who can't escape. What right do you have to mock him?"
His words were a direct accusation, implying that they were cowards.
The leader of the group's expression darkened, "You little brat, you're asking for a beating!"
Seeing the leader of the group's menacing look, Father Barry quickly stepped forward to protect Hanjun.
As the group of young people took a few steps away, they suddenly heard a whooshing sound, followed by a streak of silvery lightning striking the ground beside them, creating a small scorched crater.
The daylight lightning startled everyone present.
Hanjun who is hiding behind Father Barry give them a smile and says, "See, if you talk badly about the God of Light you'll be punished. That is a warning."
One of the younger members with a trembling body called out and said, "Boss?"
The leader of the group who is still trying to maintain composure, said, "W-We're leaving!"
And so, the group of young people slunk away in defeat.
After they had left, Father Barry looked at Hanjun with some hesitation and asked, "Are you my Lord?"
Hanjun waved his hand, "Don't let others discover my identity."
Father Barry quickly understood, "How should I address you?"
Hanjun thought for a moment, not wanting to abandon his previous name, and said, "Just call me Hanjun."
Father Barry, however, hesitated to use Hanjun's name directly and said, "How about I address you as 'Holy Son'?"
Hanjun initially found this odd but then realized Father Barry's intention.
His current body needed an identity, and the title of "Holy Son" would represent the God of Light in the human world, making it easier for him to act and gather faith.
He nodded his head in agreement and said, "By the way, I need to tell you something else."
Hanjun then explained his plan in detail to him, but Father Barry only knew that the god had called upon some helpers.
However, some terms like "NPC," "players," and "quests" were still unfamiliar to him.
"What are these things?"
