Episode 182. I Am the Only Totem in This World (1)
Episode 182 In this world, I am the only totem (1)
The huge beast, moving like lightning, bit down on Tuga’s claws, then shook his jaws and ripped them off.
The identity of the beast, that is, the wolf monster sporting shiny black fur, was, of course, Rakan.
Nike showed signs of contacting Rakan, saying, ‘I will prepare for any emergency,’ but that was a foreshadowing. Rakan received Nike’s call and came to help me.
This is even breaking the unwritten rule of the Loa world that says, ‘To avoid confusion among the spirit world and believers, stay only in your own realm.’
“Thank you.”

I suddenly said that.
In fact, it was through Rakan’s guidance that Nike found me. No matter how you think about it, it was a very artificial meeting, so he asked Nike directly, and he answered readily.
‘Lakan said that if he goes to Sesu’s flower garden, he can meet a nobleman. He didn’t even say help him, but he knew I would help him.’
He is the only Loa who helped me in this spirit world.
“Go ahead! Quickly!”
Nike’s voice is heard from afar.
“Ah.”
I’m finally coming back to my senses. Those as big as mountains were pounding and fighting right in front of me and I was half unconscious. I heard noise in my ears.
The fact that Tuga was hit by a protruding rock as he broke through the ground and was almost pulverized to dust may have played a role.
– …
Rakan, who had lost her claws and pushed away the struggling fighter, glanced at me.
There were no words or revelations. But I felt like he was conveying a message like, ‘Please take care of my daughter and Ji Sang.’
“Leave it to me!”
My strength is that I have quick mental recovery. I nodded and ran towards the English gate again.
Crumbling!
Wow!
I heard the sound of Rakan and Tuga engaging in hand-to-hand combat behind me, but I ignored it and ran.
In terms of size, Rakan is 1.5 times larger. In addition, the claw, which is the most threatening part of Two’s body, was torn off.
Wouldn’t Rakan be unilaterally controlling it? Anyway, it wasn’t something I was worried about. All I have to do is think about passing the English test.
“Ugh… !”
The closer I get, the blurrier my body becomes. It feels like everything that made me up is scattered and broken into pieces.
It made me wonder if I could really go to the ground if I passed through here. A fear of death that I haven’t felt for a long time is approaching.
Ah, this is how it felt. It’s unfamiliar yet familiar.
“Don’t be scared!”
We haven’t even reached the ground yet, but we can’t give up already. I stepped majestically into the Yeongmun Gate.
“Just leaving, ugh~!”
The body stretches out like a stick of taffy and gets sucked in.
“Evil!”
My soul stretches, twists, and explodes as I pass through a long tunnel.
“Two times two, four! Oh, mom!”
In order to somehow come to my senses during that bizarre experience, I repeated multiplication, subtraction, and division.
It may seem crazy, but it helps more than you might think. I guess I should say that it prevents my hair from turning white as I keep trying to calculate things.
– … !
The moment I blinked, I was back in Totem No. 1. From the front, I see Lakhe looking at me with eyes full of worry.
“Malak!”
Numerous emotions passed through her face, and’joy’appeared on her face until the very end.
– Sorry I’m late. I devoted myself to recovery.
I tried to speak as calmly as possible. My mind is spinning because of the chaotic multiverse experience I just experienced.
“No. “You came at a good time.”
Lakhe said there were no signs of division or displacement yet, but she could see that everyone was struggling, she said. If my absence had lasted two more days, I might have had to prepare for the worst.
– Don’t worry. I am back.
“I wasn’t worried. “I trusted Malak.”
Lakhe gently stroked her totem.
It’s okay if it’s empty words to say that you trusted me. Because it was enough to heal my heart.
It was fun to see Lakhe, feel her her her body heat her, and talk to her her. The ‘Master of Appearance’ pattern has already been repeated three times, but it’s new every time.
“It’s late at night, but everyone will wake up happy when Malak says he’s here.”
It was Lakke who seemed to be in such a good mood that he went out of his mind and casually dropped a bombshell.
That’s a bit much. Still, you need to sleep well, right? It’s not that I’m scared of Charon, it’s that I’m running away because you won’t let me sleep.
-Okay. I’ll let you know tomorrow morning.
He blocked Lakhe’s irrational moves and threw in a new trick.
– As you may know, it has been a long time since I visited the spirit world. She’s been through a lot.
“I want to hear it.”
Lakhe leaned towards me, her eyes sparkling. I felt a moment of despair when I realized my limbs were gone again.
– So Nike…
“You were an archer. Priest Muri doesn’t even say things like that… “
A story blossomed with Lakhe.
He seemed very amused when I ‘slightly’ glorified the things I experienced in the spirit world. Without realizing it, I was so excited that I started talking a lot.
What kind of situation Udan ended up in, and what choice I made when I saw that situation… I didn’t say that much though.
I have already made up my mind and am willing to accept my fate for the things I love.
That’s just it.
***
Well, nothing special happened the last two days.
I let everyone in the tribal alliance know that I was alive and well, managed the territory for the first time in a long time, and mediated minor disputes.
It was also reported that the believers who went to the spirit world were doing well. Of course, I didn’t tell everyone, I only invited my acquaintances and talked about it. It’s just sad that not all fallen soldiers can go to the spirit world.
Oh, I also listened to Paya’s concerns
“Charon, after seeing that apostate, I thought I could use necromancy. “If you give me permission, I want to learn it and be helpful to Malak and the Tribal Alliance.”
After seeing what was happening, he came to the altar alone and said this.
-Cannot be done. Necromancy cannot be permitted.
Of course I dissuaded him. Charon, who was timid and introverted (Mera Special), also learned necromancy and went crazy.
She is Charon, who has been talking to herself ever since we first met. I am guessing that his personality was distorted in the process of learning necromancy and listening to the voices of the dead.
The primary cause may be the sadness of losing a child, but the secondary cause may be necromancy.
“Yeah, I guess so. It is a spell that has been banned by the Loa themselves… “
Paya bowed her head in deep regret.
– It’s not because it’s banned. Necromancy is dangerous. He may lose himself in the process of dealing with the dead. Priest Paja, I don’t want to lose you.
Well, I borrowed Jinmalak’s soul and used ‘zombie control’ with the help of a unique supernatural power called ‘skill’, so it was okay, but if it was real necromancy, there would be serious side effects.
In the first place, there is no way that magic that deals with corpses is normal. Even if Paya becomes as strong as Lakhe and can be of great help, she will lose even more if she goes crazy like Charon and turns into an enemy.
“Ah… !”
– I want you to be by my side as a spiritualist.
“Yes!”
Paya left feeling strangely happy. Okay. Just stay healthy and bright as a spiritualist who deals with the monster pigeon Tuntuni.
A personal message arrived from Hannah at good timing.
[Netcamama: I asked you 4 hours ago what you are doing]
[Netcamama: Don’t you answer quickly?]
[Netcamama: Stop diving and have something else to do]
I was very upset because I stopped contacting you because I was busy worrying about other things in the spirit world.
[Caron is busy avoiding that bastard. I’ve been saying this for a few days now. Do you want me to become a zombie?]
There are a lot of excuses. Hannah doesn’t know that I’m near the capital. If I say this, she’ll understand.
[Not Netkama: Very just, just like that]
[Not Netkama: Just keep your mouth shut]
[Finger]
[Not Netcam: Do you really want to rummage?}
[Netkamaanim: Anyway, don’t do anything useless and hide well. Do you know how surprised I was when I saw that I was cut to pieces?]
[ㅇㅋ]
Now you can stop pretending to be worried. They were just trying to criticize me for not replying to the message.
[Netkamaanim: Hey. So what was it you were trying to say last time?]
[?]
[Not Netkama: Continue that tomorrow morning]
Ah. You’re talking about the message sent before the all-out war against the demons.
[Mol?Ru]
If it had really been the last battle, I might have said that, but Charon is still there. I decided to just stick out my flippers.
[Not Netkama: Yaisi]
It was time to ignore the countless swear words sent by Hannah. Two new posts were posted on the community at the same time.
[Love Death Cat: Meow Meow Meow~! (Returning from a multibus trip)]
[Love Death Cat: Meow, meow, meow~! (I’m going to the Tribal Alliance, so please don’t attack me)]
A few hours later, a female knight riding a white horse with wings and horns flew to the tribal alliance.
When I saw that, I couldn’t help but think of the murals I saw in the cathedral.
A picture of a warrior riding a winged unicorn and fighting the devil, the incarnation of the evil god Shamishir.
“…What?”
“What is it?”
“Suddenly a unicorn?”
The paladins also looked puzzled.
It’s completely out of the blue, really.
