Episode 24
Onma (?魔)
Immediately after being eaten by the students.
The giant spider simply accepted his fate.
‘Ah! So this is how I end up disappearing.’
I briefly thought about wanting to live, but I was already dead anyway. I didn’t think anything would change even if I just disappeared like this.
If there is any regret left, it is that I have not been able to see the face of my daughter who was detained in the company?
I didn’t see him before he left for the small group training camp, so I was afraid he would lose his mind, so the argument we had before was the last time we met.
If Yun-Hwi could read my remaining thoughts, I would be grateful if he could convey them to me instead.
That might be a bit difficult, right?
“… Don’t even think about ordering me to do anything weird. You tell me about that yourself.”
As I was thinking that, my eyes suddenly lit up.
Yun-Hwi was looking down at himself with a sullen expression.
What the hell happened?
The big spider. No, the old elder who had now become the main one just blinked his eyes stupidly.
* * *
I looked at Joo, who was still dazed, with a sullen expression.
Actually, I had no intention of saving the personality of the giant spider.
What’s pretty?
It is true that he was the most active among the ghosts during that time, but that was just karma he had created while he was alive.
However, this nobleman’s residual thoughts were mixed into the mass of thoughts that dominated the group.
I saw that and thought about it for a moment.
Should I revive this old man or not?
And this was the choice I made.
Let’s revive it.
No matter how auspicious it may be for the new religion, in the end it is just an animal driven by instinct.
In that case, it would have been much easier to use him by putting on the personality of an obedient ghost.
Above all else.
By chance, while I was trying to restore this gentleman’s remaining thoughts, I found out that his daughter was being held hostage by the company.
“Elder Hwan, you got promoted!”
“Should I say I’m jealous of this, or not? Anyway, welcome back.”
“A fate that will continue even after death… … .”
The ghosts were also busy circling around the Lord’s head, each chattering away.
“Young Master… Sir.”
“why?”
“Can I ask why?”
The spider’s personality looked at me with a serious expression instead of the excited look it had shown before.
You probably want to know why you were revived.
“There are two reasons.”
“I know it’s presumptuous of me to ask, but may I ask?”
“The first one is special.”
“What… is special?”
“You sent a proper message right before you were eaten, didn’t you? Usually, when you think it’s the end, you just swear at me loudly and leave.”
The lord seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his cheek with his wing.
His last message was full of urgency, and I was surprised to find no resentment toward me.
Rather, he seemed to calmly accept his fate.
I wondered if this person was really one of those gentlemen who were in the Sogyojujeon.
At least it means that he is reflecting on his own sins.
A fruit is a fruit. A ball is a ball.
I was careful to accurately measure the new identity.
“The second is because of your circumstances.”
「… … .」
In that moment, the Lord’s body froze stiffly.
“I didn’t really intend to read it either?”
“… I know. If you turn into a ghost, there’s nothing you can hide from the Ghost King.”
“There was a gap of six years. Because of that, your daughter’s whereabouts were also up in the air.”
It was obvious how the nobleman would treat his daughter, who had lost her hostage value in the company.
Naturally, this gentleman will also have great anger and resentment toward the company.
“I think you will diligently follow the orders of the sect leader.”
“Then no?”
“No, that’s right.”
Will you at least remain loyal to me until I can reveal the truth about the meeting and at least find out the location of my daughter’s grave (if she is alive, where she was abandoned)?
Even if it was a ghost that had no choice but to obey my orders, the difference in the results between actively following it with motivation and passively following it was very big.
“… It seems that I am destined to be exploited even after death. This must all be my karma.”
The giving land sighed and then slowly lowered its posture and bowed its head.
“Onma (?魔) formally pays homage to the Soryu Master. From now on, the spirit of this Hwanmo will all exist for the Soryu Master’s use, and its fate will follow without hesitation whatever the Soryu Master has decided.”
Ah, now I remember.
Onma.

He lived as if he were not there among the elders or executives and did not leave much of an impression, but before he devoted himself to the new religion, he was said to have had quite a reputation in Cheonghae?
Blue Sea Fighting Ghost.
Yeah. I remember it being a nickname like that.
Was it originally a fighting ghost that would seek out and fight the hermits hiding in deep valleys of the mountains?
Then, he met the woman he loved, gave up his wandering life, and moved to Cheonsan to start a settled life.
However, his beloved wife died from childbirth while giving birth to his daughter, and he lived his life thinking of his daughter as his own alter ego.
So, I guess he must have deep feelings for his daughter.
It was like receiving an oath of loyalty from such a nobleman.
“Okay, so now you know what to do?”
“Of course. Just tell me.”
I curled one corner of my mouth.
“Come back after eating them all.”
“Your name!!”
The stock price flapped its wings vigorously.
I turned my body around as I watched the Lord disappear into the distant sky, becoming a dot in an instant.
* * *
The Lord soared through the sky for a long time.
As someone who was originally human, it was difficult to express in words the feeling of flying in the sky.
Even though I was a monster, my speed and stamina were incomparable to those of a normal bird.
It’s a level where you can jump several miles in the blink of an eye.
‘There you are!’
Before he knew it, he was able to reach his first destination.
Faction.
It is a place where a large mountain range tributary leading to the west is located, and Heukgolguigok secretly set up a workshop in one of these valleys.
‘In Gwigok, they used to call that a ranch?’
A ranch where the students naturally release their skills and have the students watch over their surroundings.
To them, zombies were nothing more than objects to be farmed.
Keeeeeeek!
He screamed based on the memory he had when he was a high-ranking official.
Then, the camouflage formation that had been invisible except for the steep cliffs shook violently.
As soon as I tried gliding, my surroundings suddenly changed.
Along the wide plateau, large pavilions were visible, and inside the fence, leisurely children were seen playing.
“That’s… Ju!? Have we ever raised something like that?”
“I know……?”
The soldiers and several prosecutors who were managing the ranch noticed the lord and tilted their heads.
A monster with a fairly high rating.
Rather than being a machine that simply follows orders, it had a brain comparable to a human’s and could move with free will.
It could be said that it is a spiritual being.
That’s why I know that a guy like that is so precious that only a few can be raised by the owner of the restaurant.
No, I know that even Gokju doesn’t have a spirit of the same level as Ju!
“Based on the wave, it seems like it was originally on our side? Did it evolve or something?”
“What? So you’re saying he’s the guy who followed Elder Baekgolmangsa?”
“That guy left the elder behind… and evolved on his own? W-There’s something a bit strange about that.”
“Quickly, bring the master over here!”
“Yeah, yeah!”
Currently, Heukgolguigok is in the midst of a life-or-death plan.
The detectives, sensing something strange, began to run hurriedly to where the ranch manager was.
At that moment, the stock fell vertically over the head of the prosecutor who was running towards the manager with his eyes flashing coldly.
“Why is it like this all of a sudden… Aaaah!”
The detective was running when a large shadow suddenly rushed at him. He was startled and turned around, then screamed.
The sharp claws of the beast were covering his face.
Kwajik!
It was a surprise attack so quick that there was no time to resist.
The claws, which had such great strength that they could easily break even the thick neck of a bull, easily crushed the head of the swordsman.
He then thrust his beak between the two brains.
The magic essence was contained right there.
‘As expected, it’s here! Hoohoohoohoo!’
The private investigator forcibly implants the spirit of a dead master and steals his memories and experiences.
Of course, because the level was crude, it didn’t have a very good effect, but it was still enough to refine first-class soldiers.
The demon that had taken up residence in the prosecutor’s brain acted as a prison to hold the soul.
All the magical powers and magical methods that move the swordsman were contained right here.
What can easily be called the core of the drive system.
What if I eat this?
The private investigator dies.
And I was able to absorb all the magical power and knowledge contained therein.
Gulp!
The eagle swallowed the black bead in its beak without hesitation.
Then, the magical power within my body stirred.
Although it is only a little bit, the amount has increased quite a bit.
It felt really good to give.
He was originally a fighting ghost known to everyone in Cheonghae before he came to the Shinto religion.
Many a hermit or eccentric person bowed his head under his blade, or had his head broken.
He loved the thrill of beating the strong.
And I enjoyed the thrill I received as I gradually became stronger.
Even though he lived Jay’s life as a beast (or should I say, a beast-like life? Or maybe a demonic life?), his tendencies remained the same.
Especially if the opponent is the Black Bone Ghost that humiliated you!
‘I’m going to make a big mess!’
Wedge!
The man suddenly turned around and ran towards the other prosecutor who was standing there dumbfounded.
“Oh, what the heck… … Aah!”
The prosecutor couldn’t understand why his students, who were so brainwashed, would suddenly do something like this, but he tried to resist because survival was the most important thing.
However, even the sword strike strengthened by the Ghost Reincarnation Technique did not leave even the slightest wound on Ju.
He just tilted his head and asked what had happened.
That was the last scene the prosecutor saw before he died.
Kwajik!
My head is smashed.
At the same time, the magic light flew into the air.
‘This is somewhat useful. I guess the soul I planted with the food spirit was pretty good?’
He swallowed it in one gulp. Fortunately, it was a bit more than the previous guy.
‘Next time!’
I spread both wings as wide as I could.
The place it flew in, drawing a circular arc as if skimming the ground, was where the other students were.
Keeek! Keeek!
Krrrrrr-
The students all instinctively felt a sense of crisis and stood up sharply.
The wild beasts stood on end, and the birds flew into the sky in an attempt to escape.
‘That’s funny!!’
But in the eyes of the Lord, it just appears as a banquet hall.
The shadow of a great disaster covered the ranch of Heukgolgwigok.
Reincarnation Demon Temple
