Episode 128
We’re all going to die!
For me, who has crossed the line between life and death countless times over a long period of time, death was very different from that of ordinary people.
For them, death was a distant separation from which they would never meet again.
But for me it was a restart.
Because we know very well that death is simply a farewell from this world, and that it is not a permanent separation.
Rather, there are many cases where people wander the underworld with grudges after death, and if you have the right technique, you can summon the soul for a short time.
and.
As a demon king, I could have caught them.
Chorrrrrr!
The gold chain moved busily.
The chains clashed loudly, filling the hell with the resounding sound of metal.
“Please save me!!”
“Save me-“
“Please leave us alone-“
What would it feel like to be suspended high in the sky, with only your neck hanging from a chain as if you were on the gallows?
The sight of a dozen or so ghosts hanging from a tree branch like fruit was truly horrifying.
“Poohahaha! I was wondering what would happen to those who were captured in this world through the first marriage ritual when they died again-“
“It looks like it won’t be returned to the afterlife, but rather the ownership will be transferred to the cult leader?”
“Our youngest will be happy to have so many new recruits!”
“As expected, there is no one else but you, my seniors! This fifteenth person! I will be loyal to you for life, no, forever!! Please accept my bow, seniors!!”
“Yeah!”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
The ghosts burst into laughter as they looked at the dead corpses.
They too were wounded here and there, with their limbs blown off, which told us that the battle had been quite rough.
Still, they weren’t too worried.
Anyway, they are a body with only the soul left.
Because I knew that if I provided the Black Dragon properly, recovery was possible.
Perhaps, in reality, it might be possible to continue to maintain the same idleness as now.
So, the fifteenth person was very happy and was prostrating himself on the floor to thank the ghosts, when suddenly someone tapped his shoulder from behind.
“…What is it?”
Fifteenth Ho slightly raised his head in that direction and looked at it with a sullen look.
Gu Min-chae was standing.
“I’m the youngest.”
“what?”
“I’m the youngest, not you. So, technically, shouldn’t they all be under me?”
Fifteen-ho’s face suddenly distorted.
“What the heck is this?”
“He who has never looked me in the eye while alive is talking nonsense.”
“Who would listen to your stories while you’re alive? Get out!!”
Sipho, who was very excited about the fact that he could use his former direct superiors as subordinates, seemed determined to never tolerate Gu Min-chae.
Since he was the one who had already done something bad to me once, I couldn’t help but hate him for everything.
While Gu Min-chae is engaged in a war of nerves to avoid being pushed aside by Gu Min-chae’s 15th person.
“Cow, cow, cow, little cult leader… Let me, let me go, let me go…!! If, if, if this continues like this, then, uh, we’ll all, all die!”
I was staring at the Black Bone King struggling to somehow break free of the chains.
He looked terribly afraid of something.
His gaze was constantly looking around the sky.
As if something was going to come towards him any moment, as if an unknown hand was going to touch him.
At least it wasn’t a gold chain.
“You know?”
“Wh, what are you talking about-“
“Taboo.”
「!!」
“You know that the ownership of your soul has already been mortgaged to someone else before you.”
A laugh came out on its own.
“The White Bone Mangsa and the other twelve black ghosts were completely unaware of that fact. Right?”
The face of the Black Bone King, already pale from death, became even paler.
“Is that all you can achieve by offering up all your subordinates as a living sacrifice? Relegating yourself to an outsider?”
“… Oh, you knew that?”
“I know. Because of that, I missed the White Bone Net and almost had my identity revealed.”
“You mean, you avoided that guy’s eyes, b, b, b!? How on earth-“
The ‘guy’ that the Black Bone King was talking about was the man in the reverse Taegeuk symbol.
When the soul of the White Bone Net was taken away in vain, the owner of the gaze that was looking at me from the distant mountains.
I still can’t forget the shock I received at that time.
Because it didn’t look human at all.
God.
It was an eye that only a being who could cast off the mask of humanity, look down from the high heavens, and know how to directly touch the law of cause and effect could have.
I thought that perhaps that guy was one of the apostles or something that Gu Min-chae had mentioned.

My guess was that the twelve black demons, including the Black Bone King, sacrificed their souls to him and gained their current power and authority.
Becoming an outsider is probably a result of that.
And it seems that guess was correct.
You could tell just by looking at the way the Black Bone King was acting.
“If you were so afraid of what would happen after death, why did you do such a thing? After all, you know better than anyone that life is just a corner of eternity that the soul will enjoy.”
Those who have been in the alcohol business know.
How tiny and like dust we humans are in this vast universe.
The universe is vast and time is like an eternity.
Compared to that, the time that humans enjoy is trivial.
The power and pleasure enjoyed under him were nothing but useless.
So most sorcerers would leave the secular world without any regrets in search of the meaning of the universe.
That was the reason why it was difficult to find a sorcerer in this world.
On the other hand, a small number of sorcerers became more and more desperately attached to worldly power.
Rather, it is believed that we should be more faithful to our present life and enjoy everything we can because it is nothing more than dust.
‘Because it is finite, it truly has meaning.’
That’s exactly what they were thinking.
Personally, I tend to think that both have deep meaning.
So, I was faithful to my relationship with my master, my position as a small religious leader, and my position as the successor of the Angma Mythology Sect.
Also, efforts were made to find the essence of life and the universe in this eternity.
However, the Black Bone King had this ideal distorted.
In order to be faithful to the present life, in order to indulge in greed, isn’t it like throwing away all the future eternity that the soul is destined to enjoy?
“You may be right! But if only I could enjoy this life forever… then none of this would have happened… If only I hadn’t met you, Young Master…!!”
The Black Bone King spoke nonsense and then raised his head.
“Whatever happens! If you’ve caught a glimpse of him, you’ve probably realized how dangerous he is! Let him go! No, I’d rather have him disappear-“
“What did you hear from me? I told you I’ve already avoided you.”
I curled one corner of my mouth.
Just then, the ground above began to sway slightly and ominously.
There were visible teeth-like things here and there on what appeared to be the snout.
Greed.
The wonder of enforcing the terms of a spiritual contract.
The man’s evil hand was reaching out from behind the reverse Taegeukgi.
“Ah, no! Aaaah! Aaaah!”
The Black Bone King’s scream grew louder.
Every time he struggled, the chain around his neck clanked louder.
The ghosts’ faces also all hardened.
“I never thought I’d see that monster again-“
“How can something like that exist?”
“Little cult leader, be careful! If you get eaten by that thing, you won’t even be able to pick up your bones!!”
The ghosts guarded the area with swords in hand, wary that Tam might turn his gaze in their direction, but also worried that he might have a negative influence on me.
I couldn’t help but laugh. Who the hell is protecting whom?
But this attitude wasn’t all that bad.
“Okay, then step back.”
“Haona-“
“You guys are just going to cause more trouble, so step back.”
The ghosts retreated with hesitant steps, but did not let go of their worried gazes.
As if he was going to jump in right away.
“What Tam wants anyway is to enforce the contract, and if he came to eat that bastard’s soul for that purpose, wouldn’t it be okay to make him ‘think that way’?”
When I first saw the Baekgolmangsa, I was also confused because it was my first time seeing it, but now it’s different.
If you experience it again without a plan after experiencing it once, that’s just stupid.
Tsk tsk tsk-
He spread his palms wide.
Then, the black dragon energy rose above the heart and formed a spiral shape, creating a pitch-black energy ball.
“Well, there is a way, Young Master!?”
The Black Bone King heard my words and shouted urgently.
Tom’s teeth were now out of the ground and almost to the guy’s feet.
“Yes.”
“Well, then-“
“But why should I save you?”
“Wh, what are you talking about-“
As the guy’s voice became more urgent, the cynicism on my lips grew thicker.
“Touching the Mysterious is something that will cost me a great price, right? Then, shouldn’t you prove that you are worth it?”
“Father, you want me to tell you about the North Sea Ruler?”
“Now you’re starting to make sense. And you’re adding to the mix. Tell me everything you know.”
“T, I don’t have time for this!! I’ll get eaten while I’m talking about all that!”
“I told you, it’s not me who’s in a hurry, it’s you.”
「!!!」
The Black Bone King let out a strange scream, but I had no idea what it meant, so I just ignored it.
The ghosts shook their heads.
“It’s such a shame-“
“Even if you fall for the cult leader, you fall for it hard.”
The expressions on Gu Min-chae and Sipho, who almost ended up in the same situation, also changed strangely.
“Ugh, ugh! I’ll tell you! I said I’ll tell you! The Northern Sea Lord-“
“Oh. Is that so? Even Gu-ga-nom didn’t know that.”
“Well, I answered, so now please-“
“Hey, that’s not enough. What if you act like an idiot again after I save you? Then tell me about the Chosun Possession Law.”
“that-!!”
I asked a bunch of questions I had been curious about under the pretext of saving lives, and the Black Bone King was busy answering them urgently while watching the descent of greed that was taking place moment by moment.
Eventually, the teeth got so close to the chain that the Black Bone King had to climb up while holding onto the chain with his bare body.
Thanks to you, I was able to learn a lot.
What kind of magic was added to the meeting to complete the method of possessing the first soul?
How do zombies move?
‘As expected. The view on witchcraft itself is completely different from mine. The starting point is like that, and the root of the composition is like that.’
I felt this way during the Ice Soul Mama Gong battle, but after getting a glimpse of their techniques, my magical knowledge deepened by one level.
Thanks to this, I was able to quickly find the method to destroy the Chohonbyeongi Great Law.
“Okay. That’s it. I think I’ve conveyed your true feelings well enough.”
“then-“
“Oh. Okay.”
Now, the face of the Black Bone King, who had climbed to the top of the chain, brightened with hope.
I just collected the coins and waved my hand lightly.
“bye.”
「!!!」
The Black Bone King’s face turned grim.
You little shit, you punk-
I heard someone shouting, but before that, Tom’s maw opened wide and swallowed him whole.
Wagjak! Wagjak!
Woodduck-
Tom gritted his teeth for a while and then disappeared into the shadows again.
“Where in the world is there a method to deceive the mysterious? Then is that a mystery? It’s just the existence of cognition. You idiot. Tsk tsk tsk.”
「… … .」
「… … .」
「… … .」
You all have rotten, frozen eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a problem?”
“Oh, no!!”
“The strategy of taunting and deceiving the enemy to obtain information is the best of the best! The Soma are simply amazed by the cult leader’s wit!”
“This could be called the rise and fall of the new religion! Long live the new religion! Long live the new religious leader!!”
The ghosts who had been looking at me with a trembling look quickly fell to the ground.
Among them, there were also 15 households and Guminchae.
I turned my body the other way.
“Then let’s go back now. Our worried brother will be waiting for us.”
