I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: I’m the Only Totem in Another World （4）

“The Giant has arrived!”

The Giant Harry was riding appeared, shaking the ground. It must have consumed a considerable amount of Divine Magic Stones to get from Symphony to the Capital, but it should be able to fight for about two hours.

It has to do that much. All the Divine Magic Stones remaining in the Tribal Federation were invested in it. It has to pour out all its firepower for two hours.

“Prepare yourselves! We charge as soon as the Giant breaks down the gate!”

At Kanto’s command, the barbarian warriors and civilized soldiers busily moved around.

Thump! Thump!

They didn’t forget to clear a path for the approaching Giant.

I descended upon each totem, activating ‘Healing Blessing’, using ‘Malak’s Domain’ to raise a rain cloud, and bestowed the ‘Strengthening Tattoo’ blessing on the most elite warriors.

All preparations were made, and we waited. A while later, the Giant, having reached the gate, threw a punch.

Bang!

First blow. The gate shook slightly, but outwardly, it looked fine.

Bang!

Second blow. With an impact sound louder than the first attack, a crack appeared in the gate. There was still no sign of enemy movement.

Did Karon abandon the Capital? What if he went near the Tribal Federation Headquarters using a dimensional gate like before and is preparing for a siege?

No, that’s impossible. His chances of winning wouldn’t increase even if he attacked the Headquarters.

No matter how wide he opens the dimensional gate, he can’t bring all the troops from the Capital. If he could, he would have done it already. In the end, that side is also an elite force.

The people waiting at the Headquarters will inform me as soon as Karon comes into view, and I’ll first use the ‘Follower Summoning’ blessing to send strong individuals like Rake.

As you know, our side has higher quality strong individuals. They just need to hold out for a few minutes, no, even a few seconds.

While they buy time, I’ll descend to Totem No. 1 and use ‘Manifestation’, and it’ll be over. It’s actually easier than us waging a siege here.

Karon, what are you thinking? Giving up the gate so easily? That’s not like him.

Bang!

Third blow. The gate that protected the Capital crumbles with a roar. The demons and worshippers inside reveal themselves.

Growl!

Grooooowl!

They’re swarming. It seems like all the enemies who didn’t participate in the all-out war are gathered here.

“It’s the Evil God!”

“Where’s the Overlord of the Dead?”

“He’s there!”

The Paladins, who were looking around, spotted the Evil God floating in the air. Rake, of course, had already seen Karon before they did.

Karon, standing on the Evil God’s shoulder, opened his mouth.

“Paladins, do you want to close the dimensional gate?”

His voice boomed.

“The dimensional gate is inside the Imperial Palace. Search hard.”

As soon as Karon finished speaking, a torrent of jeers from the Paladins poured out.

“We already knew that, you idiot!”

“Let’s shut that bastard’s mouth first.”

“Why’s he talking like a drill instructor?”

“Did he hide One Piece or something? He’s so cocky.”

“He hid his mom’s ashes, they say~”

The last insult was from ‘Morning Tent Erection Knight’, Siu.

“How dare you, on top of…”

━ Rake.

I stopped Rake, who was about to fire Divine Power at Karon and the Evil God. We don’t know how much stronger he’s become. We can’t waste our strength carelessly.

“…I got a little excited.”

Rake took a deep breath and withdrew her hand. Wasn’t it ‘very’ rather than ‘a little’?

Anyway, even if he’s the best genius shaman among barbarians, he wouldn’t have mastered all the Evil God’s powers in less than a week.

Even so, we can’t let our guard down. Karon was always an opponent who exceeded expectations.

When I brought in Rake and the Brown Rock Tribe and subjugated a few villages, he swallowed up all of Dubenheim.

When I subjugated the high-ranking Tunnel Demon and opened the Warp Gate? He was using the high-ranking Stingray Demon as a mount.

It was the same at the Evolutionist School Headquarters where we met for the third time. He’s the one who commanded several high-ranking demons and emerged victorious from the fight against the Loa, Udan.

He was always one step ahead of me. I lived quietly, aiming for a late-game comeback due to various restrictions, but Karon flaunted his power from the beginning.

I was ahead during the Dark Cloud Demon subjugation and the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon all-out war, but now, I don’t know.

I’ll directly confront him after I use Manifestation.

Groooowl…!

The high-rise buildings covered in vines opened their windows and curtains like mouths, revealing sharp teeth.

Monster house, Building Demons. I’m not sure if they’re demons shaped like houses or demons wearing buildings like armor.

But it’s clear they’re acting as turrets or a second wall. It doesn’t seem easy for the warriors and the possessed to walk through and break through them.

━ Harry.

But, do we really need to break through? We can just blow them all up.

Woooong━!

The high-heat plate on the Giant’s chest heated up.

Ziiiing━!

It fired a red beam at the Building Demons. A heat ray.

They can’t dodge since they’re fixed in place. They might be incredibly sturdy since they look like buildings, but it’s useless.

No matter how hard a metal is, it can’t withstand high heat.

Kyaaae!

Grooooaa━!

They burn black, screaming their death throes. It was a simple end for large buildings over tens of meters tall.

Giant… you’re active until the final battle. I didn’t expect Grandpa Harry to do this well.

As expected, accepting both barbarians and civilized people was the right answer. It would have been harder than this if I had only embraced barbarians or sided with civilized people haters like Asha.

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s move!”

Geunchop and Dina took the lead. They move faster than the warriors riding horses, as expected of Super Soldier Paladins.

High-ranking demons, appearing out of nowhere, blocked their path.

There are probably only about twenty of them at most. They were weaker than the Seven-Headed Dragon, the Dark Cloud, and even the Dragon Demons.

Still, they’re tough opponents. Even seven of them would turn Geunchop into rice cake.

I supported them appropriately while paying attention to Rake’s movements.

Tadak━!

Rake was moving, climbing the walls. She was advancing, cutting down any demon that blocked her path with a single strike.

The target is the Evil God. To be precise, Karon riding the Evil God.

‘I’ll take the head first.’

It was a decision she made after discussing it with me.

The situation is different from the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon. Back then, the power difference was so significant that Rake and I couldn’t move freely.

It was obvious that the enemies would move like a tidal wave if we left.

It’s different now. Defense is more advantageous than offense, but we have a significant power advantage. It’s over once we cut off Karon’s head and close the dimensional gate.

In other words, I don’t have to save Manifestation.

I was waiting for the moment Rake would signal me, using the ‘Bond Totem’ blessing to be active across the battlefield.

“Zo, Zombies!”

“Malak-nim has stopped moving! Kill them quickly!”

I clashed with Karon’s necromancy, vying for control of the zombie worshippers using the ‘Zombie Control’ blessing.

━ Tell me, Paladin.

“Over there, do you see that blue demon? The one with the incredibly large brain. It looks like the commander unit. Brainwaves, or something? Anyway, it’s emitting something like that. I don’t know about the high-ranking ones, but all the mid and low-ranking demons are moving according to its commands.”

━ I understand. I’ll send them.

I moved our allies using the ‘Follower Summoning’ blessing.

“Malak-nim! Now!”

I heated up Luna’s magic wand by dropping lightning whenever she asked.

I’m nowhere, but I’m everywhere. The advantage of a totem is that it can move across the battlefield without legs and play a diverse role.

The downside is that if the totem is destroyed, I can’t do anything.

Keuheong!

A lion-like high-ranking demon destroyed one of the disposable totems. It happened to be the totem I was descending upon, so my vision cut off with a snap.

I quickly transferred my consciousness to another totem.

“Block them! They’re coming!”

“Th, They’re dropping stones from the air!”

Ah, this place is dangerous too. The enemies are attacking the totems with all their might. Karon must have given strict orders to destroy the totems first.

But that doesn’t mean the tide has turned. We’re winning all the large-scale clashes.

“Celestial Domain!”

“Grind them down!”

The Close-Range Spy Raid and the possessed advance, crushing the enemies blocking their path. A little further, and it’s the Imperial Palace.

Let’s leave the Imperial Palace to them and focus on dealing with Karon.

“Malak-nim!”

━ I understand!

Hearing Rake’s signal, I quickly transferred my consciousness to Totem No. 3. Rake had gotten very close to the Evil God.

If she jumps once using Divine Power, she can reach it.

━ The moment you jump, I’ll use it.

“Understood!”

Rake soared, using Divine Power as propulsion. I used Manifestation when I thought it was about time.

Koooooo━!

Along with lightning and steam, Jin Malak’s body appeared.

“Malak!”

Karon shouts my name. Like the roar of a general facing his last enemy.

━ Karon!

I too shouted the name of my nemesis. This is the second time we’ve directly clashed.

It’s been a tenacious relationship. Let’s end it here.

I approached the Evil God and Karon, with Rake mounted on my back.

…Somehow, it’s become a fight between a legendary mount and a hero unit.
