I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 184
Chapter 184: I’m the Only Totem in Another World (3)
━ Prepare for war.
I made the leaders work hard to prepare for the last war.
We decided to go to the Capital before Karon reaches the headquarters, before he fully masters the power of the Evil God.
It’s a war with superhumans who can destroy a city by themselves, so it’ll be over in a day at most, but we prepared plenty of supplies just in case.
We quickly decided on our roles.
“This is Kanto! I’m disappointed that I can’t fight by Malak-nim’s side like Guardian Rake, but it can’t be helped! I will crush the enemies with the best warriors on earth!”
“Victory is one step away. All we have to do is fight to the end.”
Great Chieftain Kanto and Adjutant Isaac will lead the regular warriors and soldiers.
“I want to be helpful in this way. I will do it perfectly.”
Rachel will lead the supply unit.
“Karon…Let’s make him drown in his delusions.”
“There he goes again with the nonsense.”
Close-Range Spy and Goollreu will lead the Close-Range Spy Raid.
“Four Paladins above Level 7… Let’s do our best.”
“I’ll keep a tight hold of those monkey-like bastards so they don’t run away.”
Princess Dina and Fallen Power Knight will lead the possessed, including Dina’s Special Forces (There are only three of them left now…).
“Tteunteuni will watch everything with his hawk eyes, no, pigeon eyes!”
[Love Death Cat: Meow~! (I’ll help with reconnaissance, but what I’m best at is demon hunting! I’ll make appropriate judgments, so don’t worry!)]
Aerial reconnaissance was entrusted to Paya, and support to Love Death Cat.
“If anything happens at the headquarters, I’ll contact you right away.”
I had the Saint, Muri, and a few Barbarian chieftains and priestesses guard the headquarters.
“I will hide in a secret place and target the enemies.”
Luna decided to move with the sniper unit. I gave her one of the mini totems that Muri newly made to help her fire the Magic Wand.
It’s a disposable totem that breaks after using blessings a few times.
“This old man will burn with his last fighting spirit.”
Grandpa Harry, who had been lazing around in bed for days, was going to be at the forefront with the Giant, talking in a solemn tone.
“Karon, I will cut off the head of that infidel and offer it to Malak-nim.”
Rake, as always, was going to hunt high-ranking demons or comparable enemies. You could call her a big game hunter.
As for me, I plan to move between the totems and directly confront the Evil God or Karon with Manifestation when they rampage.
━ Do not be too afraid. I will lead you to victory.
Although the Capital boasts an ironclad defense, they have few and we have many.
That is, asymmetric power. The strongest of Karon’s forces are just a few high-ranking demons, the Evil God, the controlled Paladins, and himself, right?
On the other hand, what about us?
Half-god, half-human Rake. Harry and the Giant. Great Chieftain Kanto. Paya and Tteunteuni. Asha Zombie.
Close-Range Spy. Dina. Hanna. Samurai Jackson. Fallen Power Knight. Goollreu.
Love Death Cat and Unicorn who joined this time.
And lastly, me, the strongest tyrant.
There are thirteen Paladins above Level 7 or those with comparable strength. They say the defender has the advantage in war, but with this much difference in asymmetric power, wouldn’t it be okay?
Of course, I’m not letting my guard down. He must be hiding a few more tricks up his sleeve.
I checked the blessing I received for escaping the Spirit World once again. It will be of great help at a crucial moment.
While everyone was busy moving around, a post appeared on the community forum. It was a post with a title that seemed to have no intention of hiding anything anymore.
[Close-Range Spy: The Rebellious Hero Goja Buro Final Chapter
# Flashback
Goja Buro: “Why don’t living beings treat each other equally?”
???: “Goja Buro asks his lover all sorts of things~ That’s probably… because of the ugly nature of humans. That’s what I think.”
Goja Buro: “Then how can… everyone be happy?”
???: “「Goodwill.」 Shouldn’t we always pursue that?”
(??? moves away into the darkness)
Goja Buro: “What do you mean!!! Where are you going!!! Hey!!! Wait !!!”
# End of Flashback
Goja Buro: “Damn it… I finally realized it… You fool…”
Darkyami: “Hey hey, have you finally lost it ww Death Odin! Take care of him!”
Death Odin: “Woohoo━!”
Goja Buro: (The way for everyone to be happy… It’s…!!! Nothing else but ━ !!! Giving freedom to all living beings ━ !!!)
bgm: (Cut Darkyami’s dimensional gate.) Clang ━ !
Darkyami: “…Eh? Huh??? Why!!! You!!! You released all the souls stored in my dimensional gate !!!
Damn it!!! My power!!! Damn it!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!!”
Goja Buro: “…. This is the end for youㅡ. With this, your magical power has been extinguishedㅡ. And you too… will be extinguished.”
Darkyami: “??? No!!! I don’t want to die, damn it!!! I shouldn’t have used you!!! Aaaaagh!!! Magical power!!! It’s leaking out!!! (Disappears into dust)”
Goja Buro: “… Is it finally over…”
(All the liberated souls returned to humans. And among them, 「she 」 was standing with her eyes closed.)
???=「She」: (Has a red rabbit tattoo on her belly button.) “… You kept your promise. To make all living beings happy.”
Goja Buro: “… I won’t leave you again…”
# Afterword
Yes, that’s right! It’s the unexpected final chapter! (Laughter)
Wow~ Unexpected praise or unexpected success, I had no intention of making a final chapter at first.
I completely went with the feeling of “Woohoo! Let’s charge into making a finale!” and made a grand mess of it. If I didn’t make a mess and finish it like this, I would surely become a ghost of the community!
For that reason, as it went towards the final chapter, the volume became massive! The development is chaotic! I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
Thanks to your love, I was able to successfully complete the Goja Buro work. I am truly grateful to the readers.
Thanks to you, I might just write the next work Woohoo (Laughter) ]
This is just crazy… No, never mind. I’m tired of being angry.
Close-Range Spy, you were agonizing over it so much, but you ended up with a happy ending. I guess this is the best ending that Close-Range Spy decided on after days of agonizing.
…An ending. I’ve thought about the ending too.
It was when I met Hanna and Dina’s Special Forces in Martba, where I arrived to stop Asha. At that time, Dina asked me if I was thinking of rebuilding this world.
I vaguely said that I would keep my promise to my followers of victory and glory.
I thought about it for a while that night. What would I do if I stayed in this world even after closing the dimensional gate?
Strangely enough, I thought of the other world hero stories I enjoyed watching.
Defeat the Demon King and be satisfied watching the world I protected and the people I saved. It’s a cliche.
Funnily enough, I thought this was the best ending.
I wanted to give that much small happiness to the hero who worked so hard, and I hoped I could have that kind of ending too.
━ …
Ah, there’s one more thing to do.
I pressed the message window and went to ‘Send a message to me’.
It’s a space that only I can see, and it’s also a channel to communicate with Jin Malak, who is somewhere in my unconsciousness after giving me control.
I wrote down my determination, my pledge, and what I thought was important.
You could call it a will. I hope it works out, but it might not.
“All preparations are complete!”
Kanto approached on horseback.
━ Let’s depart.
I immediately gave the order to march. Now it’s the real final war.
No matter how it ends, I will save this world.
I watched the gate open, reaffirming my resolve.
▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄
“Halt!”
Kanto’s voice boomed.
Our allied forces arrived in front of the Capital after the march. Without a single interruption.
“That’s strange. What’s he up to?”
Close-Range Spy, who had stopped several times along the way to search here and there, saying there must be a trap, clicked his tongue.
I thought he would try sabotage or a surprise attack, but he didn’t.
We got here almost like a free pass. Even the magic circle surrounding the Capital disappeared.
“Maybe he’s concentrating all his forces on defending the Capital?”
Dina, who had come down after checking the surroundings using her ‘Celestial Wings’ skill, said. It made sense since Karon’s forces were weaker than us.
“The demonic energy is thick. The smell of corruption, decay, and decline…. I can feel the presence of the Evil God and the dimensional gate.”
Rake stared at the tightly closed gate of the Capital.
━ Let’s wait until the Giant arrives.
Harry departed later than us because he was pouring a large amount of Divine Magic Stones into the Giant’s magic stone supply device.
The moment Harry knocks on the gate is the beginning of the war. While everyone was staring at the Capital with tension, Rake spoke.
“Malak-nim.”
It was a voice so small that only I could hear it.
“After all this is over, there’s something I want to ask Malak-nim.”
━ Hmm.
Rake… that’s a death flag. Can you please take back those words?
