I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Paladin, Have You Fallen? (2)

Once again, a reply was quickly posted.

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: I’m in the grain warehouse. I’m hiding crouched in a box full of wheat…

I’m so scared… Please save me, noona]

Princess, noona, he’s really trying everything to survive.

ㄴ [Princess Dina: How many Cultists can you handle?]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: I don’t know. I’ve never fought before…]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: No, you’re level 2 and you’ve never fought before? How did you level up?]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Just by killing a few Infected… And George’s raiding party said, don’t go near the village at low levels. So I’ve never fought Cultists.]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: I can only laugh. If you had listened to the advice not to go to the village, you wouldn’t be hiding there now.]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: You’re right, damn it ㅠㅠ I’m such an idiot. I just lost my mind for a moment…]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: What’s near the grain warehouse? Tell me everything you remember.]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Uh, there was a chicken coop and a stable where they kept horses.]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: A stable. It’s not completely hopeless.]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Really? Thank you, thank you, thank you]

While everyone in the community was wishing for the fool who was about to die from erectile dysfunction to rest in peace, one user was finding a solution.

It was inevitable that attention would be focused on Princess Dina.

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: What, is there really a way?]

[Brahmanda: Princess Dina… I don’t know what you’re thinking, but good luck. I don’t want to see anyone else die.]

[Dairy Cow Bikini Dance: Something… something is happening]

[3 Reps 500: Isn’t it “magutgan” not “magugan”?]

ㄴ [Dinosaur Punch: “Magugan” is the standard language.]

ㄴ [Takashikakashi: I can’t understand what you’re saying. Is it a translation problem?]

[Not a Netkama: Don’t give him false hope. What’s a stable going to do? Make him escape on a horse? Attract Cultists from other villages? He’ll be caught and killed soon enough.]

Hanna, she’s nitpicking again. She’s a real keyboard warrior.

That’s why users are cursing at her.

I sent her a private message. I need to restrain her for her own sake.

What if she gets branded as a nuisance and becomes a community outcast that no one talks to?

Then she’ll send me hundreds of private messages whenever she’s bored. That’s a terrible future.

[Don’t post comments like that. We’re trying to save Tent Erection Knight, why are you discouraging us?]

[Not a Netkama: Is this a discouraging comment?]

[Not a Netkama: I’m giving realistic advice, why?]

No, Hanna, please. Let’s not do this. We’re not elementary school students.

Did she have a bad adolescence that made her twisted?

[How is that realistic advice? You’re just cursing him to die]

[Not a Netkama: No, I’m]

[It’s unpleasant, so don’t do it again]

[Not a Netkama: …]

[Not a Netkama: Okay]

[Not a Netkama: Sorry]

[Not a Netkama: I won’t do it again]

I was a bit harsh too. She might get upset and turn evil, so I’ll comfort her later.

I closed the private message window and focused on the community again.

ㄴ [Princess Dina: When I give you the signal, come outside and set fire to the grain warehouse and the stable with the ‘Holy Flame’ skill. There’s grain and fodder, so it’ll catch fire quickly. Run away when it catches fire. It has to catch fire.]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: What? Fire? Suddenly? It’ll attract all the aggro? No, more importantly, if I come out of here, I’ll be caught immediately!]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: I’ll distract the Cultists. I’ll start the countdown now.]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: 5]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: 4]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: What? Are you in Linea right now? But how…]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: 3]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: 2]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Uh, can you at least explain what’s going on?]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: 1]

Kwaaaaaang━!

Suddenly, a giant pillar of light shot up from the east.

It was a clear, thick pillar, visible even from the top of the mountain here in Symphony.

I wasn’t the only one who saw it.

“Eek!”

“Wh, what is that!”

“Is, is that the wrath of God?”

“Ma, Malak-nim!”

The Barbarians who were loitering near the altar were startled and lowered their bodies.

“…What in the world.”

Rake, who reacted first, was drawing her curved sword.

━ Calm down. It’s nothing.

I calmed the Barbarians who were surprised by the sudden roar. I was just as surprised as they were.

…What is it? What is this.

Princess Dina. What did you do…?

I quietly asked Rake through Divine Possession.

━ Is that Linea over there?

“No. It’s the opposite direction of Linea.”

Where and what did she do to emit such light?

I quickly checked the community.

[Samurai Jackson: What was that light just now?]

[Full Play: What’s going on? Is someone fighting?]

[68-Year-Old Kim Jeomsun Grandma’s Last Jet Kick: Damn it, I choked on my food]

Every user in the community saw this light. It’s not just visible from Symphony.

ㄴ [Princess Dina: This is all I can do]

ㄴ [Princess Dina: Now set it on fire and run away]

While the entire community was in chaos, Princess Dina posted another comment on the same post.

ㄴ [Brahmanda: Princess Dina. Was that light just now, you?]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: What, what, what, what skill is that?]

ㄴ [3 Reps 500: What are you!?]

Users who had been watching Morning Tent Erection Knight’s post started to comment one by one.

They were asking if Princess Dina had used a skill, and if so, what skill it was.

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: Level 8 skill Celestial Light]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: Princess Dina, what level are you…?]

It was Close-Range Spy who answered.

Level 8? A level 8 skill? Oh my god, she’s higher level than Abraham.

You might think it’s only 1 level higher, but ‘Paladin Survival’ is a game where the maximum level is 10.

There’s bound to be a big gap between level 7 and 8.

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Level 8! Level 8! Level 8!]

[Fallen Power Knight: You can do that at level 8?]

[Ppooppooppeung: The strongest Paladin appears ㄷㄷ]

The community was in a frenzy.

Everyone flocked to the post where Morning Tent Erection Knight and Princess Dina were exchanging comments, making a ‘pilgrimage’.

But the owners of the comments were silent.

What happened to Morning Tent Erection Knight? Did he escape safely?

What about Princess Dina? She emitted such a huge light, so attention is bound to be drawn to her. Did the Dark Cloud Demon see it?

I calmed the surprised Barbarians while thinking all sorts of things.

[Reno Johnson: What was that light just now? It was definitely the power of Ishtania.]

Karon, you bastard… Let’s pretend we didn’t see this. It’s buried under other posts anyway.

It was only after 20 minutes that a post appeared that gave us an update on one of them.

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: I’m alive! I’m alive! I’m alive!

I set the fire and ran like hell!

After experiencing the pillar of light, the burning warehouse and stable, and the rampaging horses, the Cultists were in complete chaos!

That’s when I climbed the wall and escaped!

I didn’t even stop to rest until I was far away from the village, and now I’m writing this!

Everyone! I’m alive! Fuck yeah Hahahaha!

Princess Dina-nim, thank you so much. I wonder if this is how the brother and sister who became the sun and moon felt when they climbed the rope.

I’m so glad I didn’t give up until the very end.

This tension… my hands are still sweaty…

I think I can stand up now.

I love you, noona!]

Ah, I’m so relieved. He’s alive. No matter the process, I’m satisfied that he survived.

Just as I was about to focus back on reality after confirming the survival of a fellow countryman(?), it happened.

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: But what do I do now?

Well… I wrote the title as a joke… but… how do I live now?

I ran like hell with the mindset of surviving first, so I ended up coming in a different direction than the hideout…

I have to pass through the village again to go back… but I’m too scared to go through that twice.

I doubt I’ll be this lucky again.

I have no food… no tools… I’m going to starve to death.

Ha… I’m such a dumbass.

How do I survive now? I’m really lost]

━ …

He’s a guy who makes me laugh until the very end.

But this time, I might be able to help him.

I sent him a private message.

[Is there a mountain near you?]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Uh, what?]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: There is one an hour away, but]

There’s only one mountain in Linea. The Ashgrey Fog Tribe is there.

[Go up the mountain]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: What? Dude, there are tons of Infected there]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: There might be a Barbarian tribe there too]

[Avoid the Infected and Demon’s Eye yourself]

[I can help you with the Barbarians]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: But how can you]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Ah! You were that guy! The Barbarian girl!]

[Yeah, I’m friends with the Barbarians]

[Once you meet them, disarm yourself and shout ‘Malak!’ a few times loudly]

[Act like you worship Malak and pray to him]

[Malak is the name of the god the Barbarians worship, and they won’t kill you right away if you just shout that]

[They’ll probably tie you up, so just wait a bit. I’ll send a letter to that tribe.]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Okay, okay, okay, okay! I’ll go right away! It’s this or death anyway!]

[Don’t tell anyone in the community that I helped you]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Okay! That much I can do for my lifesaver]

He’s a cheerful guy until the very end.

I closed the message window and looked at the animal, no, the spirit circling around Paya.

Kweeek~!

It’s time for Tteunteuni, who’s now twice as strong, to work.
