The Vastness of Magical Destiny

``` Komer’s Cosmic Bag is such a divine artifact that keeps corpses in a lingering state, and it is the most important keepsake left to Komer by his master.

The more soul memories the corpse retains, the higher the level it could potentially achieve after cultivation. Of course, the difficulty increases as well. This particular corpse that belonged to Komer was struck in an instant by a Sappan Divine Wood Arrow, its paralytic toxicity immobilizing the body entirely in an extremely short amount of time, including the brain. Therefore, it could be said that this was a rather perfectly preserved corpse.

Similarly, Komer used the Cosmic Bag to preserve this corpse intact. Coupled with its excellent capabilities in life, the corpse became an extremely high-quality material for cultivation.

However, precisely because the material was too superior, a great deal of energy and advanced knowledge of Necromancy, along with certain supplementary materials, were required to successfully cultivate this corpse. This necessity forced Komer to continually delve into Necromancy while also seeking additional materials to enhance his communication with the corpse. It seemed that the resentment aura Komer once felt inside Damarlinsk Castle was one of the most suitable supplementary materials.

"Hmm, my lord, there’s no doubt that there are a good number of undead creatures here, and based on what Mr. Rebry described, there should be intangible souls of resentment or grievances beneath the castle—what we in the magical realm refer to as ghosts or Charming Spirits, known to the common folk as specters," said the Thin and Dry Magician, somewhat showily flaunting his knowledge as he shrugged.

"This phenomenon occurs only under extremely particular circumstances postmortem, and these ghosts or specters cannot yet be classified as undead creatures, for they have already lost their hosts. They persist in the world due to certain specific conditions. While these entities might be considered a menace by most, they are rare test subjects for Mages highly skilled in Necromancy."

The Thin and Dry Magician’s words struck at the very heart of Komer’s concerns.

Indeed, Komer had already surmised that there must be entities beneath Moreske Castle distinct from ordinary undead. After all, the chilling sensation to his soul that he contended with outside the castle was certainly not something common zombies or skeletons could evoke. However, these entities were quite cunning, concealing themselves when circumstances turned unfavorable, infinitely more formidable than the mindless skeletons and zombies. Moreover, it appeared that the undead creatures hidden beneath the castle might also be under the control of these ghosts or Charming Spirits.
