I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Dark Cloud Demon （5）

This attack was powerful. Enough to make me black out for a moment.

There was no physical damage, but about a third of the divine power surrounding my body evaporated.

Dark Cloud Demon, you had another ultimate move, huh? You’ve been saving this kind of attack all along?

The good thing is that I saw its body explode at the last moment.

It poured its divine power into its body, amplified it, and exploded. In other words, it’s a suicide attack that can only be used once.

It didn’t use it at the last moment for nothing. It must have been trying to take advantage of my lapse in concentration.

━ Ugh…!

I shook my head a few times to shake off the shock.

It self-destructed, but I haven’t confirmed the kill yet. Above all, the ashes didn’t scatter.

That means it’s still alive, right? I looked around.

━ As expected.

The octopus head was flying weakly in the sky. It must have used a special ability to pull its head out before it self-destructed.

Wooong! Wooong! Wooong!

It seems like it’s not just running away, but calling someone. Is it sending coordinates to that Seven-Headed Dragon in the Capital?

No way. I have to kill it before it sends everything.

My head was splitting, but I gathered my divine power and focused on the next attack. Thinking this is the real last attack.

Aim and… fire.

Kururung!

A thick lightning bolt pierced the Dark Cloud Demon. The crispy fried octopus head turns to ash and scatters.

This was the end of the Dark Cloud Demon, who acted as the leader of the demons, massacred George’s raid, and pushed Dina’s Special Forces to near annihilation.

…Ah, I really can’t hold on anymore.

I wanted to say something cool to the followers who were shouting something from the ground, but I’m really too exhausted.

Jin Malak said that if he directly descended to the material world, terrible things would happen on Earth. Now I understand a little.

If I had continued to handle this powerful force, this world, the material world, would not have been able to withstand it. At this point, I wonder if the barbarians deliberately ascended him to stop him from destroying the world.

I released my manifestation and accepted the oncoming drowsiness without resistance.

If I fall asleep now, when will I wake up? It was harder than when I used ‘Unstable Manifestation’, so will it be over a week?

I have no choice but to trust Rake and Dina to do well while I’m gone.

▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄

Hmm.

Oh, is it time to wake up now? My clouded mind slowly returns.

Good. It must have been over a week, right? First, I’ll check with Rake who should be near the altar…

What? Why is it so dark around here? I opened my mouth to say why is it so dark here, is anyone there?

No, I tried to open it.

━ …

My mouth won’t move. To be precise, it’s not my mouth, but anyway, no sound came out.

What is this? What happened?

Judging from the fact that I can’t move my arms and legs, I think I’m in totem state. In the first place, I don’t even have what you could call my own body.

All that exists here is darkness.

What went wrong? Did I use Manifestation for too long and pay a heavy price?

It was while I was panicking in an empty space with nothing, unable to even make a sound.

…Status window. Right, pull yourself together and open the status window first.

━ Enter Community

Good. I can access the status window.

The fact that the status window works means that the power of the Goddess Ishtania, the power of Jin Malak, still resides in me. I should be able to use blessings too.

I tried to use the ‘Bond Totem’ blessing to move my consciousness to Totem No. 3.

What? It doesn’t work?

[You are not in a state to use blessings.]

What does it mean that I’m not in a state to use them? I tried Totem No. 1 to No. 5, but it was impossible.

What about other blessings? I tried to possess Rake, Paya, Muri, and other kinsmen.

[You are not in a state to use blessings.]

As expected, it doesn’t work.

The status window works, but I can’t use blessings… What does this mean?

Just in case, I stared intently at ‘Enter Community’.

[You have entered the community.]

I can enter the community? This is confusing. I checked the posts.

[Dinosaur Punch: Is the Dark Cloud Demon really dead?] （4）

[LuluTV: Long live Malak-nim, long live Malak-nim, long live Malak-nim] （16）

[Ssangmun-dong Momma Dispenser Destroyer: So now nothing happens even if we kill mid-ranking demons?] （3）

These posts were uploaded recently. I checked and it’s only been a day since I killed the Dark Cloud Demon.

So, I’ve been sleeping soundly for a whole day and just woke up in this unidentified space.

I’m in the middle of paying the price for Manifestation, so I can’t interfere with the material world, but maybe my mind is clear and I’m in a place similar to my inner world.

I calmly calmed my mind and fell into thought.

After a while, I organized my thoughts on what situation I was facing.

Think of it this way.

I’ve developed a resistance to Manifestation because I’ve used it before, even if it was unstable. I’ve had the experience of being knocked out for a whole week, so my mind has recovered quickly.

Or maybe the last time was an unstable Manifestation, so I completely lost consciousness, and it’s normal for my mind to remain like this.

There was no one to ask, no one to give me answers anyway.

At least I can access the community. For now, I can be active in the community as Sanz, Malak’s messenger.

I won’t be suspected of being absent when Malak is absent like last time. My alibi is complete.

First, let’s see what the other Paladins were doing while I was fighting the Dark Cloud Demon.

I scrolled down to where I checked last time and started reading. The amount is vast.

━ Comments ━

[Princess Dina: What are you doing? Please comment when you enter combat]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Samdasu Controller]

ㄴ [Dairy Cow Bikini Dance: Right! The community users are working together to not leave any comments on this post to help you! Do it right!]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: I just commented, right?]

These guys were doing that even then. Well, I can understand it’s to relieve tension.

We’re not soldiers, and the community is not a military communication network. Malak can’t interfere with the community and enforce discipline.

[Fallen Power Knight: Wow. A large-scale war? This is a first, it’s so loud. Everything is echoing. I can’t communicate with my voice? I think it’s right to use this post like a live chat]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: I agree. This is my first time in a battle like this, so I didn’t know.]

So that’s why the comments got longer. Communication is important.

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: He appeared! Malak-nim appeared!]

[Not a Netkama: …He certainly looks very strong]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: I just realized, voice recognition works for writing too? Did everyone know this? It’s so convenient]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: You just realized that now? Pathetic Tsk tsk]

[Petit Noah: The demons are coming! With the Dark Cloud!]

[Bangguseok Choseon: Malak-nim blocked them with lightning!]

[Fallen Power Knight: The barbarians are charging out! Follow them all!]

[Not a Netkama: Those ignorant barbarians!]

The fight started in earnest from then on.

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: I’ll protect the people shooting those catapult-like things]

ㄴ [Fallen Power Knight: Aren’t you retreating too quickly? I thought you were running away]

[Petit Noah: I’m surrounded by the 4th squad and demons! I’m holding out with a shield! Help me!]

ㄴ [Bangguseok Choseon: Isaac and I are on our way! Just wait a little bit!]

[Ppooppooppeung: This is Gukbap! The flying bastards are descending! They’re targeting the two mages! I need backup!]

ㄴ [Fallen Power Knight: I’ll go!]

[Not a Netkama: Ah, it’s chaotic. It’s hard to even focus on the fight in front of me]

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Tentacle! Holy shit, the Dark Cloud is shooting those damn tentacles!]

[Petit Noah: Malak-nim blocked them!]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Malak-nim is beating up the Dark Cloud! Let’s take care of the demons without worrying]

[Close-Range Spy: …]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Who are you? Get lost, you Geunchop bastard]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: For a moment, I thought Close-Range Spy came to fight too;;]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: Seriously? Is that… god called Malak really fighting the Dark Cloud Demon?]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: And… beating it up?]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: I uploaded a post with a photo attached. Look at it]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: …]

Close-Range Spy was watching the live broadcast too. I continued reading.
