The Slayer was able to control them with the untamed left hand, left in the dark. As he loosens the chains from their left arm, the Slayer ends up becoming more free. Due to the actions of the many demons, being able to communicate and cooperate with him. These slayers are named 'Soul Benders'. Depending on the situations, these ghosts are very helpful to the Soul Benders in battle. Zieg, one of the first Soul Benders, was able to summon powerful demons such as Kazan, Bremen, Saya, and more to aid him in battle.
the Soul Bender wasn't so pleasant. 15 years ago, Zieg, battled against barbarians in the hills, and unluckily for him, Zieg was struck by lightning several times, causing Zieg, and the demons, to be taken under the ground, never to be seen again.
The Soul Bender is a Slayer who learns how to better manipulate the dark energies within him by studying the nature of his demon parasites. His attack spells are even more deadly, and resistance to Shadow energy is substantially increased. In combat, he is often seen using his demons in Area of Effect (AoE) skills like Hazy-Eyed Bremen, and Ice Saya. A few of his most iconic and recognizable attacks are Tombstone, and Phantasmal Slayer.

Awakening as a Soul Reaper
That a demon has possessed one’s arm is certainly a curse. Since no one would ever pursue such a thing, it is attributed to nothing other than fate.
To the accursed, little choice is given, but they must decide whether they wish to oppose that demon, or to entrust his soul to its darkness. This is left to one's own will. The strength to withstand its consuming darkness, yet control and guide its power is not an easy balance to maintain.
As we know, there are those who have broken through the chain. It is said that Zieg, the first and strongest Soul Bender, was able to control the seven demons any way he wanted. Yet even he eventually disappeared into the ground, due to those same entities that he embraced.
It is clear that the way of the Soul Bender is not a path easily taken… but as those who have tasted power know, as soon as you experience even the smallest amount, you acquire a desire, or even hunger for more.
The time for the advent of Blache, the prohibited demon, is at hand. An advent brought on by he who commands the demons.
You who dream, can you feel the giant shadow that waits with an avarice mouth open behind your back? You who crave, are you prepared? The time has come to fulfill your ceaseless desire.
But remember, desire is much like fire. If not properly contained, it may ultimately consume you.
The Soul Bender must first reach level 50.

Awakening as a Dark Lord
“The one who rules over and oppresses a hundred ghosts... I have been drawn in by your ghostly power that blurs the line between life and death.”
An unfamiliar voice whispers in my head. How is it that a nameless ghost in the underworld has such a powerful aura? Ordinary ghosts are afraid of my title, “Soul Reaper”, to even approach me, let alone converse..
“Who are you? I am not the one you are looking for if you wish to repent. Do not approach – leave before my power devours your soul.”
The voice falls silent, then continues, sending chills down my spine. “Heh...”
“You believe that you have reached the end? I am the one who has returned from hell itself. The one who has lost his body but has been granted the ultimate power. The one who has earned the power of the nine ghosts by himself. It is simply that your power resonated with mine and drew me here. Do you not yet realize that this choice is not yours, but mine?”
As he says the last syllable, I suddenly see horrible visions. A man who was dragged into the underworld by ghosts... A man who then withstood the countless tortures and escaped from hell. Then I suddenly remember a name.
“Could you be High Priest Zieg?!”
The visions in my mind disappear. I feel Zieg enter my body through my arm.
“Please receive my power… and become the king of the nine ghosts… my lord.”
The Soul Reaper must first reach level 75.
- Talk to G.S.D. in Underfoot Hall.
