I don't know of any. I looked at the File:Demons.jpg and the last line clearly says 「吸われた人間は人になる。」. I looked all the two-kanji words ending with 人 in EDICT and tried to find something with the first kanji looking somewhat like on the scan, and found just:
  • 原人 (げんじん) (n) primitive man; (P);
  • 庸人 (ようじん) (n) common man;
  • 廃人 (はいじん) (n) cripple; disabled person; invalid;
Nothing too fitting the "slave", unfortunately, though 廃人 looks most reasonable. --KFYatek 21:13, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
