Chapter 254 – The Underworld and the Vessel of the Soul
Is it because of the spirit sensations spreading throughout my body?
Unlike when I was a human, my mind was at ease.
I feel like I am living completely according to my thoughts.
When I think about why.
I think it’s because I lost control of my dick.
The girl wasn’t hungry because the guy’s mind control was gone.
Rather, I became focused on my goals in life.
“Becoming a spirit isn’t that bad, right? I’ll have to live like this for the rest of my life~”
“No! No! No!”
When the blue dragon saw its body taken away, it became afraid and tried to stop me.
After all, humans are the problem. A being that likes other people’s misfortune from the moment of birth.
‘I’m sorry for being such a dick. ‘Blue dragon.’
“Hehe. It’s a joke.”
“Hi. Woo!!”
I canceled the spirit transformation while looking at the very angry blue dragon.
“I’ll ask you a favor when I go to the afterlife.”
“Wow. I don’t like it.”
“Don’t be like that~ Blue Dragon.”
“Uh… Okay.”
Since Blue Dragon is my partner, I promised to put up with it and give myself up even though I don’t like it.
I smiled brightly at the sight of the blue dragon.

“Margaret, what about Dead Man’s Gate?”
“Almost done. What about you?”
“It was successful. Now there is no problem entering the afterlife.”
“I see. Tsk.”
Margaret glanced at me and then looked at the Dead Man’s Gate with a serious look on her face for a moment.
“What is it? That expression of regret?”
“It’s because it took a lot of effort to make the door. Don’t misunderstand.”
‘It certainly seems like it would be a waste for me to find a way to enter the underworld.’
It looked very suspicious, but I was in a good mood right now, so I decided to just ignore it.
Perhaps because I experienced spirit transformation once, I felt like a lot of the irritation in my body had been purified.
I felt like I was more generous than usual.
-Woo!!
The moment I looked at the door of the dead, a black vortex began to appear in the gaping entrance.
“It was opened.”
It is Margaret who opens the door of the dead and falls to the ground.
She walked up to her and placed one of her recovery orbs and placed her hand on her shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work. Let’s rest for a bit and then go back together.”
“I understand.”
While watching Margaret replenishing her stamina, I slowly looked at the spirits.
“Your eyes are very sinister. Wow.”
“Hmm? What?”
“No.”
It felt like the spirits were watching me today.
Normally, I would openly swear at him.
‘Hehe. Do you really hate the idea of stealing the spirit’s body~’
It was something I always felt, the spirit seemed invincible? If you get hurt, you return to the spirit world, and you don’t get hungry or even get old.
But it didn’t seem like that anymore.
“Shall we enter Hyeonmu’s body this time?”
“Why am I suddenly thinking like that. Wow.”
“I need to know what kind of ability Hyeonmu has~ I know for sure that Blue Dragon has the ability to heal everything in the body. What are you?”
“Well. That’s true, but. Wow. I understand. If you want, I have no choice but to give you my body.”
Hyeonmu’s jaw dropped, and he accepted this situation.
Even though Hyunmoo was a young spirit, he seemed to be trying to understand his partner’s feelings.
“Okay. I’ll go in.”
“I understand. Uh. Oooooh.!”
I placed my hand on Hyeonmu’s head and focused my will.
Then, with Hyeonmu’s stupid sound, his body was sucked in.
“Kya.! You’re killing Hyeonmu?”
As I entered its body, I felt the entire earth rumbling.
It was as if I had become a receiving tower receiving all radio waves.
With the sound of tens of millions of zombies, I could feel survivors holding their breath throughout the city.
“Hyeonmu’s ability was a map hack. This is perfect. Hey.”
“Okay. I see. My ability is good. I’m satisfied.”
Hyunmoo pretended to be as nonchalant as possible and followed my wishes.
His words were kinder than anyone else’s, but the feeling I felt was rotting.
“Hang in there a little bit, Hyeonmu, I’ll give it back to you once I find the bowl.”
“Ugh. I understand. Let’s quickly find the bowl.!”
After I was ready to leave, I walked to Margaret.
“How are you feeling?”
“Thanks to the blood cells you gave me, my body has improved a lot. Let’s get ready to go right away.”
Margaret rose from her seat and immediately unleashed the power of death.
“Haa…! Kyaaa…”
With a scream, Margaret’s form became transparent.
“Oh.”
At the same time, the clothes Margaret was wearing fell to the floor through her transparent body.
“Hey. As expected.”
A transparent naked body hidden under a black robe.
Even I, who became a spirit, had a body so sexy that it made my eyes sparkle.
‘If I hadn’t become a spirit first, I would have done it once.’
Nodding my head in satisfaction, I approached Margaret.
“Okay, let’s go.”
I took Margaret by her hand.
Perhaps because it was not a living thing, I felt a transparent hand.
Then she waved her hand towards Song Hana, who was watching me.
“I’ll come back!”
“Yes. Be careful.!”
We entered the black whirlpool with Song Hana seeing off.
-Jiying!
As I passed through the door, black light appeared throughout my body.
That black light swept through the whole body.
I wondered if it would kill all the dust and small microorganisms that had stuck to my body.
It’s not like entering an operating room in some hospital.
I entered a dark area with a truly amazing experience.
“Has it finally arrived?”
“This is the afterlife.?”
Margaret and I looked around in fascination, like country people coming to Seoul for the first time.
“Okay, let’s take our time looking around and first look for Margaret’s mother.”
“Let’s find the soul vessel first.”
“What. Suddenly.”
As soon as Margaret became her soul, she started acting like she didn’t do anything.
She cared about me more than her own work.
“It’s all thanks to you that I was able to come here. So now it’s my turn to help.”
“Margaret, you have a nicer heart than you look.”
“No matter how much I am a wizard who was betrayed by my family, I will never act in a way that betrays grace.”
As expected, he was of noble birth.
As much as she cared, she gave me her priority.
She said, ‘She was a good beauty too.’
Her heart made me smile.
“Okay. Then, let’s start by looking for the bowl and get information from our mother.”
Margaret seemed to be satisfied with what I said and nodded.
That’s how we took our first steps in the afterlife.
-Whoa…
“It really feels like the other world.”
The afterlife was truly hated itself.
There were overflowing spirits like us, and they were screaming everywhere.
“It’s cruel… No matter how many times the body is cut and melted, it can return to its spirit form…”
If ordinary people saw those scenes, they would give goosebumps over and over again.
“Over there… I see the lions that came looking for me.”
Margaret looked in the direction she pointed and hid her body.
The lions were gathered in front of the black bath, looking at a spiritual body.
Then he took out a paper document from his pocket and recited it.
“Not only did he commit the traitorous act of killing the parents who gave birth to him, but he also ate his own children. He will spend 10,000 years in the afterlife and ascend to this world again.”
“It was because of the war! If I wanted to survive! I had no choice!”
“I understand. But! Even after surviving, he did not repent for his mistakes and did not forgive those who were his victims. Your parents and children also agreed to the crime. Make no more excuses!”
“Ahh. I can’t do that.! Ugh! Let it go. Let it go! Kwaaaaa!!”
Spiritual bodies with great sins were bound with huge iron balls and shackles and placed in a bath filled with black foam.
It was struggling and screaming, but no one cared about its soul.
When the messengers finished their work, they disappeared.
“Can I come out?”
“We can’t stay here forever. I think we need to move to a place where we can get more information.”
The lions left, and we reappeared and moved.
“Ugh.! There.! You there.!”
As we were passing by many black baths, a suspicious-looking spirit showed its face and called out to us from one of them.
“Are you the ones who have endured all the sins?”
The spirit shouted urgently, attracting attention.
“They are dead. There is no need to mix up the conversation.”
“I guess so.?”
I ignored Margaret’s words and walked back.
“Ah. No! You are the ones who entered the underworld illegally!”
“What. That spirit. How did you know?”
It was a spirit that immediately recognized our identity.
“I was once a grim reaper.! I don’t know for what purpose you entered the underworld! If you help me, I will definitely help you!”
A spirit body calling itself the Grim Reaper, offering to help, sent blue light to me.
‘I can’t believe instincts are activated here too.’
“Margaret, wait a minute. He might be helpful.”
“Those who become spirits are always greedy. It is best to ignore them.”
“Yes, I know. But I feel different about that guy.”
“… There may be many times when it becomes dangerous, but… I understand. I will trust you this time.”
I turned back, looking at Margaret, whom I trusted.
Looking at the spirit body with only her head out, she spread out her two fingers.
“Number 2”
“Are you asking for help twice? Ugh!!”
“No. 3.”
“Uuuuull will likely come out soon if they don’t know them」
“Transaction completed~”
He immediately used the power of Hyeonmu and lifted the spirit trapped in the black bath.
“Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Thank you.”
“Because it was a fair deal. You’re not going to run away, are you?”
“No. No. I just suffered an unfair situation while performing my legitimate duties.! I’m not running away!”
The spirit body had its hands and feet tied and wriggled like a freshly caught fish.
“I’m tied up. Can you untie this?”
“It will never be solved. It is the seal of the underworld used by the lions. No matter how excellent the lion is, to solve this, they must go to the court of justice and resolve the conditions of the barrier room.”
-Ting~
“Oh… It’s resolved.”
“This… I can’t believe it!!”
When I released the shackles and handcuffs that were bound with my own strength, the spirit looked at its own limbs in surprise.
“They were incredible people…! To unravel the sealing weapon so easily.”
I just tried to unlock it using blood magic, and it was successful.
It seemed that magical power was quite advantageous in the underworld.
“Okay, I saved you. Where is the soul vessel? I’d like to ask you for directions.”
“Was it the purpose of a soul vessel? Huh… Hmm… You came to the underworld with a rather dangerous purpose… It would have been something you would never find without my help.”
The spirit body that called itself a lion cleared its throat and looked at me.
From what he said, I thought that it didn’t seem like there was much danger in finding the soul vessel.
It’s a feeling you can get right away if you know the geography of the underworld well…
‘I feel like I’m losing money… Well, it’s my first experience. Let’s be patient.’
“This side… Is obsessed with dead spirit bodies… Of course, we can help you find that spirit body.”
“!!”
The spirit looked at Margaret and answered sharply.
Margaret was startled and glared at the spirit.
“How did you know my purpose?”
“Haha, didn’t I tell you that I am a lion who has been wrongfully sinned? It is a way for a lion to show if there is any grievance within the soul.”
“Oh… But I didn’t know what to ask for, did I?”
“You… I sense the power of another being, not a soul. Is it a spirit? It doesn’t seem to be a power beyond my authority.”
“That’s what it was.”
Perhaps it was because he had the time to do it, but he showed a lot of skill.
“A vessel for the soul and a single spiritual body… Would that be enough as a reward for saving me?”
“For now, just those two.”
“Okay. Let’s go to the nearest place first.”
I was lucky enough to find a capable underworld guide.
Margaret and I followed the spirit leading ahead.
