I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Dark Cloud Demon （3）

Symphony Square.

I am currently descended upon Totem No. 5, which I brought from the Ashgrey Fog Tribe. I will use ‘Manifestation’ with this totem.

━ I am Malak, the Loa of Wind and Rain.

I looked around with a wider field of vision than Totem No. 3. Thousands of natives and dozens of possessed individuals were looking only at me.

What should I say? It’s not the final battle, so I shouldn’t overdo it. But it feels weird to copy Earth’s famous sayings in front of the possessed.

Ah, damn it. My head hurts every time I have to give a speech.

Let’s just go with the flow.

━ I swore upon my name to promise the salvation of the earth to my followers.

The events that have transpired so far flash before my eyes like a revolving lantern. There were many encounters, battles, and farewells.

Beatrice, Pope Holland… Every time I faced that bastard Karon, there were always sacrifices.

━ Now is the time to fulfill that promise.

This battle is just the beginning. The Dark Cloud Demon is merely a small mountain we must overcome.

━ Today, I will subjugate the Dark Cloud Demon.

Uh… I can’t think of what to say next.

Well, let’s just wing it. They’re not expecting a brilliant speech from me anyway.

The barbarians will show an enthusiastic response even if I just say, ‘Let’s go!’

━ We will eliminate the root cause that has terrorized the earth for years.

I slowly raised my voice.

━ I will show the enemies the power of the Loa of Wind and Rain firsthand!

I guess it’s okay to raise my voice a bit this time. It’s okay to show off a little at a crucial moment.

Waaaaaaaaaaah!

A fervent roar answered me. Everyone was cheering while looking at me.

“Malak! Malak! Malak! Malak! He is the Loa of Wind and Rain! Woowoooo━!”

Among the possessed, it seems like only Siu is going crazy, but who cares?

“Subjugation of the Dark Cloud Demon! Malak-nim and we will subjugate the Dark Cloud Demon!”

“Warriors! Follow Malak-nim!”

I left the walls with the warriors who were going out to subjugate the demon.

Of course, I had no intention of summoning the Dark Cloud Demon to Symphony. There’s no need to lure it to our main base.

The subjugation location this time is Bluethan, the same place where we fought the Three-Headed Demon. Rake, who took the Magic Disruption Device with her, will deliver a Mid-ranking Demon to the nearby area.

Hmm. It feels a bit empty without Rake by my side. She would have made some light jokes or small talk to ease the tension.

With nothing to do, I just watched my followers. Harry is peeking his head out the carriage window.

Ah, we decided not to use the Giant in this battle.

The final battle will take place in the Capital anyway. We decided to conserve the magic stones needed to operate the Giant for that time.

It’s not that we’re underestimating the Dark Cloud Demon. We just believe in Jin Malak’s main body.

“Hmm…! If only we had ridden the Giant, we wouldn’t be in this bumpy carriage…”

Harry, who is grumbling, will be controlling the golems we’ve collected so far. It’s not like he’s a wasted resource.

Hmm. Let’s see if our possessed followers are doing their jobs well.

The Paladins who can use the community were also assigned the role of signalmen.

The Paladins agreed to post updates on the community whenever they had the chance after the subjugation began.

It was to help the commanders who needed to grasp the situation and to quickly send support to areas that were falling behind. After all, it was obvious that the full-scale subjugation of the Dark Cloud Demon would turn into a chaotic mess.

We might even have to fight in a place where the Dark Cloud Demon blocks out the sun, making it completely dark. In such a situation, a Paladin who can use the community is better than someone who simply has good eyesight and situational awareness.

We even created a separate post for it. We plan to communicate in real-time through comments here.

What, there are already comments? Let’s check them out.

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: East side, all clear. Over]

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: West side is also clear. Over]

[Petit Noah: Uh… North side too!]

[Not a Netkama: It hasn’t even started yet, of course it’s clear, you idiots]

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: I put my armor on~ Show you how strong how I am~!]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: I’m unstoppable~! No brakes something~!]

[Princess Dina: What are you doing right now? Please post comments when you enter the battle]

It’s already a mess.

They must have written this thinking that Malak wouldn’t interfere with even this kind of thing. Okay, let it slide.

We should give those guys some room to breathe, right?

They’ll do well once the subjugation begins in earnest, right? I have no choice but to believe that.

I sighed inwardly and checked the posts on the community.

Oh. Close-Range Spy posted something. Did he change his mind?

[Close-Range Spy: Which is more noble, enduring the arrows of cruel fate or facing the sea of hardship with weapons in hand?

Death Odin: “Haha!!! Human!!! Interesting!!! Die, die!!!”

Goja Buro: “（Dodging fists left and right） Damn it… He’s absurdly huge and strong…!!!”

Darkyami: “Oi oi www You were talking big, but that’s all you got? ww Pfft… Did you really think you could stand against meㅡ?”

“I’ve already absorbed all the power from the countless souls you’ve killed… Repent to the souls you killed with your own hands and dieㅡ.”

Death Odin: “Heehee!! Interesting!! Human, interesting!!”

Goja Buro: “Damn it!!! In the end, I couldn’t protect anything…”

Darkyami: “Oi, where are you looking during battle? www”

bgm: Kwagwagwagwang!!!!!!

Goja Buro: “Kyaaaaaaaaak!!”

Darkyami: “（Walks step by step towards the fallen Goja Buro） Do you think… you are different from meㅡ?”

“Do you think you are a good being and I am an evil beingㅡ?”

“No, in the end, you are the one who massacred countless soulsㅡ. You are paying for your sinsㅡ.”

Goja Buro: “Damn it… Damn it…”

‘That bastard is rightㅡ. My hands are already stained… I’ve committed too many massacresㅡ…’

“But, if there’s a way for everyone to be happy…!!!”]

Now I’m really curious.

Is this nonsense really written with a specific intention?

As one community user said, is this Goja Buro character actually a projection of Close-Range Spy, and is that Darkyami bastard a character symbolizing the Goddess?

Seeing him quote Hamlet and talk about ‘a way for everyone to be happy’ makes it seem like he’s subtly expressing his thoughts.

I don’t know.

Honestly, I don’t care. I don’t even feel like interpreting it. It’s just painful to read.

“Oh!”

“It’s the Guardian-nim!”

Rake appeared, dragging a Mid-ranking Demon. It seems the Magic Disruption Device she took before leaving did its job well.

━ Summon the Dark Cloud.

Rake nodded, stuck out her tongue, and flicked the forehead of the sprawling Mid-ranking Demon.

Kkik!

The demon, jumping to its feet, looked around at the warriors surrounding it, and with a terrified expression, began coordinate transmission.

It’s going all out since it’s going to die anyway.

Title is the content lol]

I briefly informed the community.

━ Comments ━

[Brahmanda: I hope you win. Really]

[Full Play: I don’t know if it’ll reach that god Malak, but I’m praying. It’s a Christian prayer, so He might not like it…]

[LuluTV: Is it real? Are you really going to try to catch the Dark Cloud Demon? You weren’t just a lying cult, were you?]

[Odo Daejangbu: …]

Everyone is focused on this news. I was reading the comments to relax when…

Goooo━

An ominous wind blows, and the sky darkens.

…It’s begun.

Woo wooong━!

Dyeing the sky black, it appeared. It was still far away, so I couldn’t see it clearly, but it was definitely it.

“It’s the Dark Cloud Demon!”

“The Dark Cloud Demon…”

The warriors stir. Their voices are trembling.

Now that they’ve actually seen the Dark Cloud Demon, the fear they’d suppressed deep down is resurfacing.

“…!”

Even the composed Dina showed signs of agitation. Her hand, fiddling with her sword, trembles slightly.

Is she remembering the time the Special Forces were defeated?

The only one who remained calm was Rake, who came to stand beside Totem No. 5.

“It’s coming. Today might be our last day.”

She was always calm. Even when she first saw the Dark Cloud, even when she was on the verge of death.

She always calmly caught her breath and waited for my orders. Thanks to her, I was able to stay composed as well.

Woo wooong━!

The Dark Cloud slowly approaches. With the momentum to devour everything, along with the Flying Demons.

━ …

Alright. Let’s go.

When the Dark Cloud Demon arrived at Bluethan, I used the ‘Manifestation’ blessing on Totem No. 5.

Kwarururung━!

A thick bolt of lightning strikes Totem No. 5.

“Ooooo!”

“Malak! Malak! Malak!”

Ah, this overflowing power.

When I opened my eyes again, I had become Malak.

Krooooo━!

After roaring powerfully enough to shake the ground, I looked at the Dark Cloud Demon.

Woo, oong…!

The Dark Cloud continued to approach us, but I could see it.

The gigantic form within it, which must be its main body, was standing still, staring at me.

You bastard, you’re flustered, huh?
