I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Conquering Symphony (5)

I watched Tteunteuni and the rabbit’s fight while keeping the worshippers in check with the zombies.

Tteunteuni, with its wings spread, wasn’t that much smaller. It was being careful, probably because it was carrying Paya with the totem on its back.

Perhaps the impact of the body slam was significant, as the rabbit shook its head a couple of times before quickly jumping in to attack, but Tteunteuni lightly flew up and dodged it.

Then, it pressed down on the rabbit’s head with its sharp claws.

Green juice oozed out, showing how hard it had pressed.

It was a fight between a pigeon and a rabbit from the start. Even if they were a demon and a spirit, if their sizes were similar, the type matchups would be clear.

Above all, the finishing blow hadn’t even landed yet.

Tteunteuni launched Yoga Fire, no, ‘Tteunteuni Fireball’.

The rabbit’s body, hit by the blue fireball, burst into flames.

Direct hit.

It ran around screaming before turning to ash and disappearing.

Rabbit Demon… that guy was the weakest.

━ We need to join the Tribal Federation.

Tteunteuni will be faster than the Orangutan and the other slow-moving demons. We can get there first and provide support.

━ Ignore the worshippers.

They’re still grappling with the zombies.

“Yes!”

Tteunteuni turned invisible again and soared high. It was truly a stealth fighter of the Middle Ages.

I think I’ve accumulated enough points. Should I upgrade Healing Totem to the highest level?

I checked the status window.

In the usable blessing slots, [There are blessings available to learn!] was displayed.

…Still, upgrading Healing Totem seems like the priority right now.

Should I read the description first?

[Totem of Chaos: Reveals the true form of the Loa, its status as a god. Can inflict various chaotic states, including fear, on enemies within a certain range. Can only be used once per day.]

The true form of the Loa. The description is quite impressive.

But with ‘Totem’ in the blessing’s name, it sounds like a trash skill.

The effect is roughly ‘area-of-effect status ailment infliction’, right? It would be similar to the curse that was constantly active in the Necromancer’s Tomb.

I pondered for a moment.

Ultimate upgrade of Healing Totem or Totem of Chaos…

I can’t get both. With my current points, I could only choose one.

Seeing as it can only be used once a day, it seems like a very powerful blessing.

Honestly, I don’t even know what additional effects the ultimate Healing Totem would have.

What we need in this situation isn’t a blessing that increases our sustain, but rather crowd control that can help us land a decisive blow.

After much deliberation, I chose ‘Totem of Chaos’.

It’s a shame I can’t immediately test what kind of blessing it is since it can only be used once a day.

“We’re almost there!”

Looking down, I could see the walls surrounding the city.

There were holes all over the walls, which were clearly the work of the catapults.

‘It seems like it will eventually become a siege. What do you think about building catapults? I’m an authority on Golem Studies. I’m confident that few people know more about strategic weapons than I do.’

I was surprised when Harry insisted on building catapults.

‘Catapults? Those ridiculously large weapons? How are we supposed to carry those around?’

‘We can just reduce the size. We have all the materials. We can make them modular, drag them down on carts, and then assemble them, wouldn’t that work?

We don’t even need humans to pull the carts. We have golems built for construction right here.’

It was a sensible statement for Kanto, but Harry immediately ‘refuted’ it.

After persuading everyone, Harry handed Luna the blueprints for the modular catapults.

He said he didn’t have time to build the catapults himself because he had to make the Magic Disruption Device.

‘Dodo! Stop slacking off and come help!’

‘Manual labor. I don’t like it.’

‘Is the only thing you like those damn tits?’

We filled the manpower with the barbarian warriors who were in abundance.

And so, five barbarian catapults were created.

Judging by the situation, it seems they all did their job well.

I looked around.

Smoke was rising from various parts of the city, so it seemed Rake’s disruption operation was also successful.

For your information, the order of our Tribal Federation’s ‘Symphony Capture’ is as follows:

1. Raise the totem.

2. I, Paya, and Tteunteuni lure the enemy forces outside.

3. The Tribal Federation advances while subjugating the five villages on the fastest route to the city.

4. At that time, Rake, who has high stamina, infiltrates through the sewers, sets fire to the city, and causes chaos. (Also known as the Crazy Bitch’s Rampage)

5. The Tribal Federation uses catapults to break down the walls surrounding the city.

6. Infiltrate the city and assist Rake in killing the Gorilla Demon, the ruler of the city.

7. Victory!

At least up to step 5, it went perfectly.

━ Let’s go quickly.

“Tteunteuni! We’re almost there! Speed up!”

I urged Tteunteuni and quickly entered the city.

The scene of the battlefield came into view at once.

A Rock Golem swinging a large pillar it got from who knows where.

Luna incapacitating the worshippers by shooting electricity.

Even the barbarian warriors who were fighting ten to one.

Everyone was doing their best in their respective positions.

However, the enemy wasn’t an easy opponent either.

The Chimpanzee Demon was single-handedly holding off Kanto, Denjo, Una, and other elite warriors.

The way it was stubbornly holding out using its shield and armor was the very definition of a knight.

This is where things went wrong.

Uwaaaaaaaaaaaa━!

Rake was fighting a one-on-one battle with the Gorilla Demon, and it looked quite difficult.

The difference in size was 3 to 4 times, and the Gorilla Demon had two more arms.

It was slowly pressuring Rake by making the most of its wide attack range.

Two hands held spears, two hands held swords. A combination that covered both close and mid-range.

Kanto and the warriors needed to support Rake, but they couldn’t join because the Chimpanzee Knight’s tanking was beyond imagination.

On a large scale, the Tribal Federation was winning, but in terms of the leader’s fight, we were losing a bit.

If Rake were to lose like this, the war would end in our defeat.

This would require the Tribal Federation’s ‘Hellfire Missile’.

I ordered Paya to attack the Chimpanzee Demon.

Kweeek━!

Tteunteuni launched a fireball from the air.

The Chimpanzee quickly deflected the fireball with its shield, but it couldn’t block the barbarian’s follow-up attack.

“Hyaa!”

Kanto’s double-edged axe, which had been waiting for an opportunity, smashed the Chimpanzee’s helmet.

Then, Una’s spear pierced the Chimpanzee’s head.

Kkik!

The Chimpanzee collapsed, spraying green juice everywhere.

It ended more easily than I thought.

Well, in this kind of balanced, tense battle, external intervention tends to have a big impact.

“Malak-nim! Paya! Truly…”

━ Time is of the essence. Go help Rake quickly.

I cut off Kanto’s words, who was tearing up, and asked Paya.

━ Can you launch a fireball at that mid-ranking demon as well?

“Tteunteuni?”

At Paya’s words, Tteunteuni shook its head.

“It says it can’t do it anymore today. It needs to recover.”

Its invisibility is starting to wear off too. Is it running out of mana?

Tsk. There’s no helping it then.

━ Paya, hand over this totem to them.

“Yes!”

Totem No. 3 was handed over to Kanto. He immediately activated Healing Totem.

The Gorilla Demon didn’t panic and fought hard, but…

“Malak-nim is with us! Don’t be afraid and charge!”

As expected, it couldn’t overcome the numerical disadvantage and kept retreating.

It must have lost a lot of strength fighting Rake.

Unless it was transcendentally strong like the Dark Cloud Demon, there’s no fighting against a group attack.

The Gorilla tried to kill the elite warriors while retreating, but Rake’s timely interventions prevented it all.

It’s about time…

Ah, now’s the time.

The Gorilla, sensing defeat, started muttering something. It must be the Coordinate Transmission spell.

Where the hell did this old geezer Harry go?

“You bastard!”

Harry emerged from a nearby building, holding the Magic Disruption Device.

Was he hiding there, controlling the Golem and waiting for an opportunity?

As expected, I knew I could trust you!

When Harry pressed the button, the device activated with a crackle and sparks.

A mystical phenomenon occurred. How should I describe this?

It felt like something was driving away the mystical, magical energy that was spread throughout the atmosphere.

The Gorilla Demon frowned and closed its mouth. It was definitely being interfered with.

The Gorilla, as if determined to fight to the end, raised all four of its arms and suddenly grinned… what?

“Old man! Dodge!”

It was Rake who reacted before me.

A wooden spear thrown by the Orangutan Demon was flying towards Harry.

“Ugh!”

Harry barely dodged the attack, but the Magic Disruption Device fell to the ground with the sound of a broken appliance.

Damn it, the magical energy is returning.

The Gorilla Demon, with a confident expression, started muttering the spell again.

From behind, the Orangutan and two lower demons were pushing through the barbarians and advancing.

━ …

Coordinate Transmission is a spell that continues even after the caster’s death if there’s no magical interference, so this is dangerous.

…I still have a trump card.

With a desperate hope, I used ‘Totem of Chaos’.

I used it, and…

Keruk!

The Gorilla, upon seeing Totem No. 3, collapsed, spewing blood from its eyes, nose, and mouth.

Oh?
