I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Now I Will Stand in the Sky （2）

Ha, that Jin Malak. If he had this kind of good stuff, he should have given it to me sooner! If he had, I could have slapped that Dark Cloud Demon right in the face when it appeared in Quinton.

Seeing the high-ranking demon running away with its tail between its legs, I don’t know, rather than feeling exhilarated and refreshed, I feel a sense of life’s impermanence.

Have I been struggling with this weak coward all this time?

To catch this one bastard, I scoured every nook and cranny looking for the magic stones Beatrice hid, but it seems like the solution will be this unexpected ‘Incomplete Manifestation’.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the magic stones I’ve gathered are useless. The Giant will definitely have its day. It’s just me whining because it’s an eyesore.

I flew towards the Shadow Demon that was running away with the soldier demons. As soon as the demon retreated with the demonic energy, the soldiers scattered in a hurry.

This is the first time I’ve seen demons this scared.

Shuuuuu!

My long body cuts through the wind as I move. I’m so fast that the scenery changes in the blink of an eye.

I don’t even know how I’m flying right now. The moment I thought, ‘Let’s go that way,’ my body moved naturally.

I chased after the demons running away after seeing me, Malak-nim, with the feeling of riding a roller coaster. It wasn’t long before I caught up to the soldier demons.

I was debating whether to bite them or tear them apart with my claws, but I decided to just ram into them.

They’ll either be pushed away or crushed under me.

Kiiiii━!

I pushed away the soldier demons who were running away diligently with screams. As soon as my body touched them, they turned to ash and disappeared.

They disappear just by touching them, even without attacking. Is it because I have a god’s body that demons can’t touch?

Suddenly, a new attack method came to mind.

Hoooo━

I breathed on the soldier demons who were terrified after seeing their comrades disappear in an instant. I call it ‘Malak Breath’.

The bodies of the demons touched by my breath froze and then shattered with a cracking sound. It happened in less than 10 seconds.

Wow, are demons such flimsy beings?

This is… Malak? This is real power? Then what the hell was the Totem Golem I’ve been using…!

It can’t even be compared to that tin can that loses to mid-ranking demons.

Koooo━!

Feeling the overwhelming power, I chased after the Shadow Demon who was running away without looking back.

The demon, who was running away like crazy, seemed to realize that it couldn’t escape, and turned its head to glare at me with its four eyes.

Kieeee!

Then it screamed and shot spikes made of demonic energy! It was the technique that pierced the body of the beetle zombie in one shot.

Naturally, the spikes disappeared as soon as they touched my body. Without inflicting any damage.

The demon with its four eyes wide open trembled. Did it have even a sliver of hope?

By the way, it’s really small. The Shadow Demon in front of me felt small and frail like a hamster. Even though it was a high-ranking demon. Is this the vision of a Loa, a god?

The Shadow Demon fired spikes, scattered demonic energy, and used a power similar to telekinesis to attack me. Its unyielding spirit was admirable, but all its attacks disappeared before they could touch my body.

No matter how much a baby hits an elephant, the elephant won’t even feel itchy. That’s exactly the situation right now.

━ You are trembling.

Oh, I can even speak. It seems like communication is possible even in the manifested state.

The Shadow Demon, which had been pouring out all its techniques without rest, finally seemed exhausted and looked at me with ragged breaths.

I deliberately let it hit me to see the strength of a high-ranking demon, but it’s no match for me in terms of both size and ability. It doesn’t seem to have any special trump card.

Is it because this one is a weak high-ranking demon? Since its main ability is to emit demonic energy, it might be optimized for terraforming rather than combat.

Now, then… Did you have fun? It’s my turn.

I breathed on the demon. The vast amount of demonic energy surrounding its body vanished as if evaporating. I felt like the ‘north wind that stripped the traveler of his clothes’ that I saw in a fable as a child.

Snap!

I grabbed the startled demon with my small front paws, compared to my body length, and lifted it up into the sky. The demon’s body, touched by my front paw, turns blue and melts away.

As if it had been splashed with hydrochloric acid. But it doesn’t disappear just by touching it like the lower-ranking ones.

Haak! Haak! Haaaak!

The demon, which had been howling like a cat throwing a tantrum, was so exhausted that it couldn’t even scream and just let out heavy breaths.

Is it having trouble breathing because it’s out of demonic energy? It looks very distressed.

Let’s put it out of its misery.

I tossed the demon into my mouth. Like the trick of tossing a snack and catching it in your mouth.

Crunch! An unpleasant sensation filled my mouth as I bit down.

Chomp, chomp.

As I chewed a few times, ash leaked out of my mouth. At the same time, cheers erupted from the direction of the Tribal Federation’s fortress below.

Thus, the enemy that threatened me and my federation disappeared from the world.

Farewell, Shadow. You were just a commoner who ran rampant when there was no Manifestation.

━ …

It feels like less than 10 minutes have passed, and the incident is already resolved. Fast food, indeed.

Since I’m manifested, should I try some experiments? Let’s find out how long the duration is, and if there are any side effects after using it.

First, shall I test if I can use other blessings in this state? I moved my consciousness to Totem No. 3.

“Oh, you’ve arrived.”

I can see Harry, Rake, and Kanto fiddling with machines. I’m placed on a desk.

“The work is all done. I just inserted the last magic stone. Now it’s time to move the Giant. Of course, I’m ready.”

Harry grinned. It was a smile that only someone shouldering a heroic duty could wear.

Uh… Grandpa.

━ There’s no need for that.

Case closed.

━ I’ve taken care of the Shadow Demon.

I just killed that bastard.

“…Really?”

━ If you don’t believe me, check with the Tribal Federation yourself.

Harry’s lips slowly curve downwards. Rake, who was connecting machines at a distance, seemed to have heard me as well, stopping her work and looking this way.

That bastard Kanto can’t hear me, he’s just chatting and laughing with his subordinate. I should just…

“Th, then, what happens to the Giant? What about these magic stones?”

What do you mean what happens? We just leave them and retreat.

No. Since it’s come to this, should we move the Giant to Symphony? It’s a hassle to go all the way to Polaris every time we need the Giant.

We can keep collecting magic stones.

━ Can you bring the Giant to Symphony?

“It’s possible, but…”

Just control the Giant and make it a dwelling. Just dig a pit and go in, that’s a house.

“Th, that’s a good idea. Yes, of course. I have to ride it once.”

This old man, he just wanted to ride the Giant. They say men are the same even when they get old.

Leaving behind Harry who was muttering something, I returned to my manifested state.

Hmm. I feel full of confidence. It feels like I’m the strongest in the world.

I looked down at the world from just below the clouds. I can see the Tribal Federation’s fortress.

When I furrowed my brow, I could even see the faces of the people cheering inside. It’s better than the Totem’s vision, which is comparable to a camera. The dragon’s eyes are definitely clairvoyant, able to see very far distances.

Let’s see. Paya, Muri, Rachel… Noah is there too. Noah has her mouth wide open.

I wonder if other users are watching this sight as well? At least the users living near Symphony might be able to see it.

The demons might be watching too. But since they have to risk their lives to use Coordinate Transmission, they won’t be able to use it carelessly.

I won’t be meeting Dark Cloud right now. To begin with, it didn’t even move when Princess Dina shot light into the sky to save Siu.

Maybe it has a rule that it won’t move unless it’s Coordinate Transmission.

Should I try using a blessing?

I used ‘Malak’s Domain’. A blue light emitted from my body rises into the sky.

Soon, the sky trembled and then sparkled as if it was about to thunder and lightning. I get a feeling that if I command it, it will fall towards the target.

Malak, you were a real badass. If I had just manifested earlier, I could have slaughtered all the demons, Karon, and everything.

At this rate, even a head-on battle with the Dark Cloud Demon is not a dream. It might not even be a head-on battle, I might just crush it.

It was when I was filled with Malak’s awesomeness.

━ …!

Suddenly, fatigue washes over me. I feel like I’ll collapse if I close my eyes for a moment.

Ah, have I reached the time limit? How long have I been in the manifested state?

About 20 minutes? I think it’s been about that long. Maybe the duration is shorter because I was roaring and controlling the sky.

I really can’t do this anymore. Let’s stop here.

I deactivated ‘Unstable Manifestation’ and moved my consciousness to Totem No. 1. My head is splitting.

I couldn’t help but fall asleep as soon as I moved my consciousness.

▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄

“Malak-nim!”

━ …Rake.

A familiar voice, and a familiar ceiling.

When I opened my eyes again after falling asleep like I was dead, a week had passed.

20 minutes of transformation for a week of rest? What a miraculous exchange rate. If I use it carelessly, I’ll be screwed. Even if I get the complete blessing, I should use it as a trump card like the Totem of Chaos.

Should I check the community? There might be users who saw my manifestation.

A lot of posts must have piled up after a week.

[Shotgun Attack: What am I seeing?

（Picture of Malak floating in the sky）

What is this? Why is there a dragon here?]

This is already fun.
