I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 147
Chapter 147: The Close-Range Spy Raid (1)
[Samurai Jackson: Hey, Fallen Power friend! You’re in too deep right now. Back up a little.]
ã„´ [Fallen Power Knight: Ah, sorry. It’s my first time fighting in sync with someone else.]
ã„´ [Samurai Jackson: Oh my God, there are too many of them.]
ã„´ [Fallen Power Knight: I know, right? Just looking at them makes me tired.]
ã„´ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Don’t you guys know about the private message feature? (Seriously, you don’t?)]
ã„´ [Fallen Power Knight: The voice recognition feature records all conversations.]
‘Oh my God,’ it’s been a while since I’ve heard that expression.
Come to think of it, Jackson was Catholic. He was even born into the faith, so he said he had some resistance to worshipping Malak.
I didn’t hear it directly from Jackson; Dina whispered it to me in a private message. She said there was a little conflict when he joined the Tribal Federation, but she somehow persuaded him to become a follower.
It was a bit fascinating. The fact that he still had a religion even though he was dragged to this place because of someone claiming to be a god.
If it were me, I would have become an atheist, saying, ‘While other gods are acting like this, what are you doing?’
Is it a learned faith, or is it a matter of conviction? Anyway, I decided to respect it.
Well, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t truly believe in me. The moment he says he’ll be my follower, he can receive my blessings.
I can only hope he understands, given the circumstances.
[Bangguseok Choseon: They just keep coming. Like a swarm of insects.]
[Samurai Jackson: Anyone below Level 7, fall back. You could get killed if you’re not careful.]
[Ppooppooppeung: There are too many mid-ranking demons.]
ã„´ [Princess Dina: I’m on my way.]
[Petit Noah: The Great Chieftain says to form a defensive line!]
ã„´ [Not a Netkama: I’m not confident in defense.]
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Two catapults destroyed! Flying demons are dropping brainless walking demons!]
Hmm. I didn’t realize it while I was focused on fighting the Dark Cloud Demon, but there was a pretty intense battle going on behind me.
Still, I think I did everything I could. If I had wasted my mental energy killing those small fry demons there, I might not have been able to finish off the Dark Cloud Demon.
It’s not like I completely ignored them. I at least took care of everything I could see with my flying hit-and-run.
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: The female mage is preparing a big spell! Looks like an area of effect attack!]
ã„´ [Petit Noah: It’s Luna!]
[Princess Dina: Celestial Light, activating.]
[Ppooppooppeung: The Dark Cloud Demon exploded! Watch out for the aftershock!]
[Not a Netkama: Did it self-destruct or something?]
[Fallen Power Knight: The ground is shaking, damn.]
[Morning Tent Erection Knight: It’s! Torn! Apart!]
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Holy moly.]
[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Malak-nim tore the Dark Cloud apart!]
[Petit Noah: Wow…!]
So this is when I killed the Dark Cloud Demon.
[Not a Netkama: The demons are stunned. Push forward!]
[Ppooppooppeung: Don’t let your guard down! It’s not over until we kill them all!]
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We won!]
Just by looking at the chat, or rather, the comments, I can picture what happened. Everyone fought hard and won.
[Princess Dina: Good work, everyone.]
ã„´ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Congratulations on Level 9, congrats congrats.]
Dina reached Level 9. I wonder what skills are available at Level 9. I’ll have to ask her later.
[Ppooppooppeung: I got bitten on the leg. Does anyone know Healing Touch?]
[Not a Netkama: Niki is badly hurt.]
ㄴ [Fallen Power Knight: The Bella sisters? Oh no…]
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: My right hand hasn’t been working since earlier.]
ã„´ [Bangguseok Choseon: You were in the back, what are you talking about.]
Fortunately, no possessed followers died. Maybe it’s because the low-level paladins were in the back and the high-level paladins were in the front.
Still, there must have been quite a few native warrior casualties. When I return to the totem, I will mourn and honor their bravery. They fought for me, for the salvation of this world, so they deserve that much.

Siu uploaded photos of the raid to the community. She didn’t upload them all at once; I searched for them in the search bar and gathered them myself.
I was so focused on the Dark Cloud Demon at the time that I couldn’t get a good look at the overall battlefield. I wanted to see it in photos, so I checked the posts.
The first post was a photo of the Dark Cloud Demon approaching Bluethan. The sight of the demons swarming like locusts along with the dark cloud was overwhelming, even in a photo.
The second was a photo of me manifesting in the form of Jin Malak. The sacred and solemn aura is palpable; anyone would think I was a divine being.
…Actually, it was a bit underwhelming since it was just a shot of my back with my face hidden. It just felt like looking at the tail of a giant monster. But what does it matter? My scales were sparkling.
The third was a collection of photos of the battle between the Tribal Federation and the demons, but the photos were so blurry that it was hard to tell what was going on.
The fourth was a photo of Malak beating up the Dark Cloud. This one turned out pretty well. It was the moment I used the ‘Totem of Chaos’ on the Dark Cloud Demon to subdue it. Good timing.
As evidenced by the dozens of comments, the community’s response was fervent.
[Goollreu: Holy shit!!! What’s with the Azure Dragon!!!]
[Dinosaur Punch: Was that thing, the Dark Cloud, even killable?]
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Real-time mental breakdown… hugging the barbarians and screaming.]
[LuluTV: I’m sorry for cursing, I’ll worship you from now on, THE GOAT Malak-nim.]
[Odo Daejangbu: Ah! Warm gyeoljjinppa Dark Cloud boiled meat made by the Yellow Dragon, no, Azure Dragon Air Force-nim!]
[Brahmanda: Are we… are we going to be able to go home?]
[Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Ah, so that’s what you look like in person. I think I can make a perfect totem now.]
Even now, posts praising Malak and the Tribal Federation are being uploaded.
Even those who criticized the Tribal Federation and Malak are switching sides, so it goes without saying how impactful this was.
I also received quite a few personal messages. Most of them were from users who were part of the Tribal Federation. A fair number of users said they wanted to join the Tribal Federation.
While I was thinking about how to respond, a new post appeared in the community.
[One Piece: Don’t get complacent yet

It’s near the Capital. Those dragon-looking things are gathering.
Each one of them looks like a high-ranking demon. It was too dangerous, so I only took these photos and went home.]
The photos uploaded by the user ‘One Piece’ were terrifying, even to me.
In the first photo, dozens of dragons the size of buildings were circling the sky of a city that looked like the Capital. Because it was nighttime, the surroundings were dark and only their silhouettes were visible, but that made them look even more frightening.
In the photos this user uploaded before, the Capital was a very gloomy, quiet, and desolate place.
It was a place that gave off a strong post-apocalyptic, or rather, ‘after the extinction of humanity’ vibe because of the black vines covering the buildings, but now it’s different.
All the buildings were lit up, and a place that looked like a plaza was filled with demons. They were looking up at the dragon demons flying in the sky, their characteristic green eyes glowing.
The second photo was no less daunting.
The silhouette of a monster larger than any building in the Capital was roaring, its seven long heads stretched towards the sky.
That’s it. That’s the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon.
To kill the Evil God Shamishur who is maintaining the dimensional rift and end this apocalypse, I have to defeat that thing.
[One Piece: Everyone be careful
That seven-headed demon has been roaring non-stop, and it seems to be sending some kind of magical signal.
I’m hiding underground right now, and the ground keeps shaking. All the demons and demon worshippers who lived nearby are heading towards the Capital after hearing the signal.
If you live near the Capital, don’t bother coming out to join the Tribal Federation, just stay inside your house. If you get caught while moving, it’s over.]
They’re going all out. Looks like I can’t even take a break now.
I sent a private message to Noah and Siu asking them to tell me about the current situation of the Tribal Federation.
[Malak-nim is currently resting in another dimension and cannot descend. But I’m his messenger and can communicate with him, so please send me some information.]
When I said this, everyone seemed to understand.
[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Is the Loa’s Messenger a Hidden Piece?]
[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Or is it a Hidden Class?]
[Yeah.]
Let’s just say that.
[Morning Tent Erection Knight: I should have gotten that instead. Oh well.]
It was while I was receiving the report that this happened.
[Close-Range Spy: Come to think of it, I think I wanted to be a hero.]
