I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Conquering Symphony (4)

The sword sliced off Zombie No. 1’s left arm, but it succeeded in sinking its teeth into the neck of the one who swung it.

I’ve tried it a few times while dealing with Cultists, and biting the neck was the best in one-on-one combat.

Even though it’s a vital point, it’s the most fatal because it’s a part that’s not easy to arm.

I took a big bite of flesh with my teeth. Green juice oozes out.

I’m so glad I can’t taste or feel it.

“Ugh!”

The Cultist tried to cover the area where the flesh had been ripped off with his hand, but it was too late.

If left alone, he’ll die from excessive bleeding. Then Zombie No. 3 will be born.

“Die!”

“Unbeliever!”

“Enemy of the Lord!”

The problem is that the rest of the Cultists were poking Zombie No. 1’s body with all sorts of weapons, but this was actually a calculated move.

I gave Zombie No. 1 the command to ‘struggle with all your might’ and took control of Zombie No. 2.

They were definitely aggroed. This is the chance, while they’re mercilessly piercing holes in Zombie No. 1’s body.

Let’s go, Zombie No. 2!

“Cough!”

I stealthily approached a Cultist and bit his neck. Another big bite.

It was a small woman, and her strength was weaker than Zombie No. 2’s, so I could easily take her weapon.

The weapon is an axe. Unlike a sword, which requires skill to wield properly, it’s a great item because you just have to swing it down.

“It hurts…”

Yeah. It must hurt. May you be born in a world without demons in your next life, lady.

I swung the stolen axe down on the female Cultist’s head. The result was instant death.

“Groooo…!”

Zombie No. 4 is born.

No. 3… finally stopped breathing. I immediately turned her into a zombie.

The order seems strange, but it’s a misunderstanding.

“What is this.”

“It’s sorcery…!”

The Cultists are terrified, as if they’ve never seen a zombie before.

If the demon they serve was nearby, they would have fought like berserkers without caring about death.

I’m so glad they’re scattered.

So now the zombies that can move are… three.

No. 1’s neck hasn’t been cut off yet, but thanks to the Cultists, it’s become a hedgehog and can’t move.

I seized the momentum and sent No. 2, 3, and 4 charging. The command was ‘Bite their necks no matter what!’.

“He, Huack!”

And so, three zombies and seventeen Cultists engaged in a fierce battle.

As time passed, the number of corpses increased, and as the number of corpses increased, the number of zombies increased, a battle that was only advantageous to me.

Now the number of remaining Cultists is seven.

“Cut off their heads! They can’t move!”

A Cultist shouted.

You finally figured out the zombie strategy. But it’s too late.

Zombie No. 11, acting as a shield, rushed in, followed by No. 7 and 9.

If No. 11 holds the Cultist, No. 7 and 9 can stab him.

“Argh!”

Took out another one.

I’ve gained a lot of experience moving with the Golden Sun Tribe.

Now, twenty Cultists are just a matter of time.

“Master…”

The rest of the Cultists were defeated in vain, and the 20:1 battle ended in my victory.

Ah, it was truly a magnificent battle.

To take down twenty people alone. I’ve become quite strong, haven’t I?

…Suddenly, the scene of Rake instantly killing the Snail Demon and playing with the Beaver Demon comes to mind.

The scene of Kanto slaughtering dozens of Infected alone, and Abraham bursting dozens of lower demons with his whip also comes to mind.

━ …

Damn it.

No. It’s them who are strange.

It’s because they’re bloodthirsty warriors who have been professionally trained in combat since they were young.

Abraham must be a veteran soldier like George, or maybe a former special forces member.

I’m strong enough. Yeah. Of course.

After finishing my mental victory, I led the five most intact zombies and attacked another patrol.

“There are sixteen Cultists to the west.”

Paya’s orders, who was hiding in a safe place and watching the situation, made things much easier.

They have no radios, no trumpets. The Cultists who died fighting me can’t share what they learned.

“The head!”

They only realize that zombies die when their heads are cut off when the tide of the battle has turned.

This is why information and communication are important.

However, it was now impossible to attack patrols one by one.

“There they are!”

The Cultists aren’t fools either. They noticed that their comrades were constantly being attacked and came in groups.

Well, it’s just a matter of time.

They also wouldn’t have any information other than ‘Our comrades have been attacked!’. If I drag it out into a long battle, I’ll definitely have the advantage.

Thinking that, I tried to control the zombie at the very front of the five…

With a whooshing sound, a thick, long wooden spear pierced my body.

Damn it. The wooden spear was so fast that I noticed it too late.

This spear, it’s that guy… As expected.

Woo woo woo woo!

The Orangutan Demon riding the Monster Donkey appeared. The Rabbit and Badger Demons were with him.

I tried to pull out the wooden spear embedded in the center of my body, but it wouldn’t budge, probably because the tip was stuck in the ground.

Tremendous strength and accuracy. This guy is a lower-rank?

I don’t think even Kanto in Berserker mode could block this attack.

They’re the same lower-rank as the ones I’ve killed so far, but their strength is different.

…The Chimpanzee Knight seemed stronger than this guy. This is not the time to be relieved that there are only two demons in the city.

Let’s try to aggro them as much as possible for now.

The longer I can keep these three demons here, the higher the chances of the Tribal Federation’s main force winning.

“…Should Tteunteuni and I go out?”

Paya speaks to me through Totem No. 3.

━ No need. Protect my totem from a safe place.

This is dangerous. I can’t protect Paya if there are three lower-ranks.

“Enemy! Kill!”

“The Lord is with us!”

The emboldened Cultists attack the zombies.

Cultists who disregard death are twice as troublesome.

I ordered the remaining zombies to retreat.

I didn’t actually tell them to run away, but to pretend to run away and make them chase us.

“Chase them!”

The Orangutan, who seemed like he would immediately step in and kill all the zombies, just watched from behind.

The other three lower demons are also sticking to his side. He probably thinks there’s no need for him to step in.

What a complacent response. He’s just an ape after all.

You brain-dead Orangutan bastard, I’ll make you regret this.

I picked off the scattered Cultists one by one using various methods.

Pretending to be dead and then biting, grappling and wrestling them to death, using the weapons embedded in my body to stab them back.

I kept switching control to different zombies. Dozens of times a minute.

This made things difficult for the Cultists. They weren’t losing the battle, but the constant increase in casualties and zombies confused them.

Naturally, disregarding death and being almost immortal are completely different.

No matter how bravely they charged, the Cultists were living beings who died when their vital points were pierced, while zombies didn’t die unless their heads were cut off.

Now, Orangutan. How is it? At this rate, time will keep dragging on.

When all five zombies I was controlling turned into different zombies, the Orangutan finally stepped in.

With a whooshing sound, a wooden spear flew towards a zombie.

I immediately released control of that zombie and switched to another body.

If you can’t avoid it, abandon it. This is the conclusion I came to.

While that stupid ape bastard was watching with his arms crossed, I secured enough corpses. There’s no need to be attached to a single zombie.

Taking the Orangutan’s throw as a signal, the Badger and Rabbit Demons rushed in.

The Rabbit’s speed is very fast. It instantly reached me and bit the zombie’s torso in half.

Ha. I expected it, but they’re really no match for me.

After that, it was hopeless. The demons’ specs were overwhelmingly superior, so the zombies were torn apart without inflicting any damage.

As expected of Zombie Control, a skill recognized as trash even in the game.

It’s useless if it can only harass Cultists and can’t even catch a single lower demon.

Pooooooooo!

It was when I thought it was about to be over.

I heard the sound of a horn trumpet I had heard in the city. The tone is a little different from when they summoned the Demon’s Eye.

Isn’t this… an order to regroup in the city?

I checked my points. It has increased significantly since the last time I checked.

It was clear that our main force had subjugated all five villages on the way to the city and was now engaged in battle within the city.

The Orangutan hurriedly turned his mount around. The other two demons also showed signs of wanting to move.

I can’t let you go that easily.

━ Attack the rat-like demon.

It would be impossible to hold back all four demons, but I could definitely hold back one.

I targeted the Rabbit Demon. I didn’t target it just because it was small, but also because it was the fastest.

It’s the most likely to join first.

“Yes!”

Thud━!

Tteunteuni, the Invisible Pigeon, flew in at high speed and knocked the Rabbit Demon away with a body slam.

It was literally a traffic accident. The Rabbit goes flying with a squeak!

It’s fast, but its reaction speed isn’t great.

The demons heading towards the city paused for a moment to consider, but ignored it and left.

They must have decided that the city with the mid-rank demon is more important than a single lower demon.

━ I will help. Kill it.

Since it’s come to this, I should definitely kill the Rabbit before I go.
