I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Bangguseok Choseon （4）

‘Brahmanda’ and ‘I Trusted the Monkey Man but’ posted. They are the ones who received a lot of user attention last time while complaining about their own problems.

[Brahmanda: I decided to make rats my pets

How full will my stomach be from eating a few small ones?

I’m just going to raise them. It’s not like I can’t eat just because these guys eat some nuts.

And, like Sanz’s comment, they might be useful, right?

If enemies come to my base, they’ll squeak and scream.

Even if they don’t, it helps heal my mind.

Certainly, thanks to the little roommates, I don’t think I’ll be lonely anymore.

A meaningless life of surviving day by day, I feel a little more motivated]

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Real-time Seongbungi… Cave issue safely resolved

I solved it by seducing my son…

The kid kept glancing at me. I wondered what it was, and then he came to me quietly later, you know?

He asked if he could see my sword once. He said he wanted to touch the holy sword used by Paladins.

I thought, ‘Are his mom and dad trying to disarm me using this little guy?’, but I thought, ‘Nah, they wouldn’t go that far,’ so I just let him touch it for a bit.

He was super happy. And then he asked me if I had caught a lot of demons.

Of course, dude~! I told him a long story. I fought 18 demons by myself and won. I killed hundreds of worshippers with one stroke… That’s all bullshit, though.

What demon am I fighting lol It’s hard enough to kill worshippers and run away.

I tried to raid a village before and almost died. I didn’t know the low-ranking bastards were that strong.

Anyway, maybe because he’s a boy, he was really excited. I felt bad for lying to him.

He thought for a moment and then asked, “Paladin Uncle is fighting to defeat the demons and save us, right?”

I got the feeling right there. The feeling that if I answered ‘yes’ here, things would work out well.

I immediately put on a solemn expression and said, “That’s right. I became a Paladin to protect the order and balance of this world, and the people who are suffering.”

Then the kid nodded with a totally awestruck expression lol It was clear he was hit with a Paladin high that was almost lethal.

The next day, the kid’s dad didn’t give me the look to leave anymore.

I don’t think he completely believed his son, but at least his gaze toward me softened.

If I hunt some infected creatures here and earn some points, living together might not be impossible?

Anyway, that’s the end of the post. Writing long posts is so hard…

Just look at the Jammin picture and go ㄱ

I asked him to pose with his fist raised and a smile, but he didn’t understand lol

Jammin Punch, what a shame~]

I checked the community from above Tteunteuni and it ended like this. Well, it didn’t end, but it seemed like they both found their own solutions.

I’m satisfied because it’s the direction I like.

Yeah. Just because it’s an apocalypse doesn’t mean every story has to end with death, violence, and tragedy.

Not all humans become cruel when they’re in extreme situations. They only make it that way in novels, comics, and movies to create stimulating situations.

…Maybe that’s what I want to believe.

“We’re almost there.”

At Rake’s words, I turned off the community and looked down at the ground. I can’t tell what’s what because I’m looking from the sky.

I just see dots of houses, trees, and mountains? It’s hard to zoom in and out because the surroundings are changing so quickly.

Well, Rake, who has been diligently looking at the map, must be right.

“We have arrived in the area where the church is located. It’s better to walk, as you never know what might happen.”

━ Let’s do that.

Our group got off Tteunteuni’s back and started walking. I unsummoned Tteunteuni.

It’s an area occupied by demons. How many low-ranking and mid-ranking ones are there?

I just hope there are no high-ranking demons. Rake has gained new powers and has become much stronger, but I’m not sure if she can handle high-ranking ones yet.

“I sense a presence.”

At Rake’s words, Paya and Noah’s footsteps become quieter. They walked stealthily, like cats with their fur bristling.

“There they are.”

Rake, who was walking ahead, stopped. A little further away, I saw monsters.

They were monsters that looked like ostriches, badgers, and so on, but they all had red eyes.

“They’re Karon’s soldiers.”

Ha, so it was Karon after all. I was hoping it wasn’t, but as expected.

Why is this bastard coming all the way down here from Dubenheim and causing trouble?

They’re just standing there blankly, so it doesn’t seem like they’re zombies directly controlled by Karon.

Has he already conquered the entire northern land? This fast? Why is he targeting the Pope?

It was while I was having various ominous thoughts.

“Malak-nim.”

Rake called me cautiously.

“I hear voices. Human voices.”

What? Let me concentrate for a moment.

Right now, I’m a totem. Just like I can zoom in and out of my vision, I can also hear the surrounding sounds louder if I concentrate.

“…So, what I’m saying is.”

It’s real. It can’t be Bangguseok Choseon and the Pope. Were there other survivors?

“We just have to wait a few more days, right? There’s no sign of it being lifted.”

“Even if it’s a power given by God, it’s not omnipotent. Those in heaven always demand a price. Things like life force, mental strength, talent. Those things are bound to be consumed.”

“Ha, so we have to wait here until reinforcements arrive?”

“Let’s do that. Just having us stand here with the kids is a huge threat to them. Two people from Team 3 died trying to enter the church. That’s because they tried to force their way in without the support of the corpse army.”

“They said it was a church concealed by magic? I’m more surprised that it hasn’t been discovered by the demons until now. Those religious fanatics, they have something extraordinary about them.”

“The fact that they survived means they’re strong. We must never let our guard down.”

…These people, their conversation is a bit strange.

I asked Rake where the people who were talking were located.

“They’re near the zombified worshippers and demons. …Judging from the situation, they seem to be on the same side.”

How did things get so strange?

After a brief thought, I came up with one hypothesis.

There is a survivor faction cooperating with Karon. I don’t know their purpose or reason yet.

━ Leave the zombies to Paya and Noah, and capture those guys.

Well, we can find out from now on. Listening to them, it doesn’t seem like Karon or any high-ranking demons are around here.

Then all that’s left is Rake’s rampage.

Swoosh━!

Rake, who was hiding behind a crumbling wooden house, moved like lightning.

She ran straight toward the direction of the voices, like a wild beast.

Crack!

Rake dodged the zombies blocking her way, jumped high, and landed where the voices were coming from.

There were twelve people wearing fireproof suits. They even wore safety helmets that completely covered their faces.

These guys are really suspicious.

“Wh, what?”

“Enemy! Enemy! Att-ack!”

Rake’s fist was faster than the guy in the front could shout ‘Attack!’. The guy flew away like a bowling pin hit by a ball, his stomach caved in.

Isn’t he dead?

“Damn it!”

“Zombies, where are the zombies?”

The guys panicked at the sudden attack.

“Tteunteuni! Shoot!”

“Light’s Protection!”

Paya and Noah are dealing with the zombies. There are quite a few low-ranking demons as well as worshippers, so we need to subdue these guys quickly and go help them.

Tteunteuni flying in the sky and Noah’s protection skill should be able to hold them off for a few minutes.

“There’s only one! Kill her!”

After about four of them were subdued, the guys who came to their senses attempted to counterattack.

Some drew swords, while others quickly pulled out something that looked like a gun. With a whooshing sound, a harpoon-like iron lump was fired.

Is that an otherworldly harpoon gun? They’re technologically advanced.

Rake easily caught the harpoon and threw it back at the guy who shot it.

“Kuaagh!”

One guy took off his helmet and rushed at Rake. Inside the helmet was the head of a Reptilian.

A lizardman, huh. Well, it wasn’t that shocking. I had a hunch from the moment they were talking about Team 3 and the church.

Maybe a little stronger and faster than humans. They’re reptiles, so they must have high regenerative abilities too.

Doesn’t matter.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

They’re at best the level of lizardmen that often appear in fantasy novels.

That’s not enough to defeat a demigoddess.

“That! Use that! Call a mid-ranking one!”

“Tsk!”

One guy took out a strange tool that looked like it would be used in a ritual and shook it. Is that like a zombie controller that Karon lent him? There’s all sorts of things.

Kuooo!

The zombified mid-ranking demons rushed towards Rake. They were the ones waiting nearby.

Her fist, glowing with yellow light, struck the head of the one in front.

Kkik…!

The mid-ranking zombie demon fell down with a single headbutt. Yellow light splattered everywhere.

“N, no way!”

The guys in fireproof suits were horrified.

Potential Punch. She is… a demigoddess.
