I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: The Community Belongs to the Paladins （2）

Karon is a boomer.

To be precise, he is an ancient human who lived before the Middle Ages.

I don’t think such a being will understand the community well.

Wouldn’t it take at least a few years to get used to the community culture?

Until he builds up a tolerance, he’ll have to get beaten up, right?

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: What do you mean?]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Are you saying he’s an orphan?]

I’m not just mindlessly cursing him for venting.

I have a plan.

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: I am Karon, son of Telba and Doru.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Imaginary parents?]

Karon received a lot of flak from users for his recruitment post, but he didn’t hear anything truly harsh.

It means the insults were somewhat gentlemanly.

My grand plan to defeat Karon is this:

1. Defeat Karon with words.

2. The enraged Karon leaves the community.

It’s a very simple plan, but it’s a common occurrence in reality.

How often do newbies get burned by veterans and leave the community?

Even if he comes back occasionally, we just need to keep beating him up.

He’s said to be the greatest necromancer of all time, so he must be proud and old-fashioned.

The more like that he is, the easier it is to provoke him.

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: They passed away long ago, but they definitely existed.]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: I would appreciate it if you retracted the orphan comment.]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: It is a very insulting remark.]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: Unforgivable.]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: However, I will magnanimously forgive you if you correct yourself now.]

Good cost-effectiveness.

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: ? What’s this guy doing?]

[Goollreu: Dude, just leave him alone]

Other users are watching too.

Shall we start the engine?

It’s not that I can’t do keyboard battles and personal attacks.

It’s that I have shame and a conscience, so I don’t do it.

It’s okay to do it to a crazy, murderous monster like Karon.

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: If your parents are dead, you’re an orphan, right?]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: You.]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: Retract it.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Did you turn your parents into zombies too?]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: I will kill you.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Gasp! A death threat from Karon, the genius necromancer who even defies the gods!]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: ‘I will kill you’ I’m so scared~!]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: You.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Ahh- In that case, I’ll resurrect your parents and ancestors and kill them too]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: You don’t have that ability.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: I just resurrected your ancestor and slapped him five times]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: Stop.]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: This is a waste of time.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: The time your mom spent raising you is even more of a waste]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: You!]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: You say it’s a waste of time, but you can’t leave, can you?]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: You’re trembling with rage, typing away, right?]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: I’ll remember your title. I will find you and inflict eternal pain on your soul.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: I see. Your parents are suffering by my side right now. They’re getting their butts beaten with a club made of paulownia wood for the sin of raising their son wrong.]

ㄴ [Reno Johnson: You seem to have no idea what kind of pain you will suffer. Let me explain it to you in detail.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Snore~ Coool~!]

See? It feels good to hit him.

The engine is started, now let’s run.

I sent a message to Hanna and Siu.

[Requesting backup! Let’s teach this arrogant villain who infiltrated the community a lesson ㄱㄱ]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: Is it okay to do this?]

[Not a Netkama: Is this really alright? What if he actually comes looking for us?]

They replied at the same time.

Hanna has been sending me private messages telling me to stop since earlier, but I didn’t check them.

[He can’t identify us anyway.]

If he had that ability, he would have harmed me in some way when we met in Dubenheim.

Even if he can identify me, it doesn’t matter. The physical distance between me and him is vast.

It will take him months to lead his army of walking corpses here. Maybe even years.

We have plenty of time to prepare or escape.

Or, by that time, I will have achieved ‘wanggwi’ and defeated him.

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: He was annoying, so shall we give it a shot?]

[Not a Netkama: Yeah, it’s the community, there’s no reason to be scared. Let’s go, Sanz ㄱㄱ]

Good.

Maybe it’s because they received a lot of help from me and we’ve become close, but they follow me well.

The Community Avengers, no, the Community Trinity is on the move.

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Karon’s mom, resurrected by Sanz, is lying next to me right now lol]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: His way of talking is really typical of a loser. He probably got beaten up by his peers when he was young]

Two users joined.

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Faced the gods = Never won]

ㄴ [Morning Tent Erection Knight: Karon’s mom is awesome]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: How can a post smell like a widower?]

Karon was furious and commented, but he was no match for us.

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: “Haa~! Goja Buro? Deal with the troll.”]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: “Yes, Your Highness, Master!”]

ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: Crash! （The sound of Karon getting hit and flying away）]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Shocking news） Karon has a thing for corpses…]

ㄴ [Odo Daejangbu: Oh! Karon, the Corpse Lover, and his cold, stiff girlfriend!]

Other users joined our attack.

They understand the situation.

Yes. This is the only way to drive Karon out.

So for hours, we all beat up Karon together.

[Reno Johnson: You’re all trash. You’re not worth talking to.]

[Reno Johnson: It was my mistake to try to find a true warrior in this space of losers.]

[Reno Johnson: You vermin. Live in this narrow, fake world, having accomplished nothing in reality.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Boom! （The sound of Karon’s mom’s heart exploding）]

He didn’t reply.

I watched for a little longer just in case, but there was no response.

We drove Karon out of the community!

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: We did it hahahaha]

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: The community belongs to the Paladins! The community belongs to the Paladins! The community belongs to the Paladins! The community belongs to the Paladins!]

[Brahmanda: Sanz, Erection Knight, Netkama. Thank you so much. I was really scared]

[Close-Range Spy: The Legendary Three Knights. Your names will be recorded in the community’s history]

[Full Play: They are… heroes!]

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Legendary Three Knights! Legendary Three Knights! Legendary Three Knights! Legendary Three Knights!]

ㄴ [Not a Netkama: Just say it once]

The three of us, who led the charge in driving out Karon, were given the title ‘Legendary Three Knights’.

I unintentionally ended up boosting my popularity.

[Thank you]

[Morning Tent Erection Knight: It’s nothing, this much is for my ‘life saver’]

[Not a Netkama: Make me dinner next time we meet]

[Not a Netkama: I hate bugs]

After exchanging a few private messages with Siu and Hanna, I logged out.

It was a rewarding time.

▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄

I coiled myself. This is the highest place in the world.

I looked down at the ground.

Only small, insignificant things.

I am a giant serpent. Born in the vast ocean.

From the moment I first opened my eyes, I instinctively knew.

That I am a being who stands alone, and no one can be my match.

I roamed the land and sea. I broke everything that stood in my way.

The little bugs that spread like a plague throughout the world called me names like ‘Serpent of Doom’ and ‘Destroyer of Worlds’ and feared me.

A few bugs who called themselves servants of the God of Games tried to attack me with strange abilities, but I crushed them easily.

I destroyed the place they called the cathedral beyond recognition and devoured all the warriors from other dimensions.

Even the avatar that the God of Games summoned at great cost was no match for me.

I am a complete being. A being born with all the powers of nature.

A hollow being that simply exists and destroys.

Boring.

I couldn’t resist the drowsiness that washed over me.

I spent more time sleeping than awake.

…How much time has passed?

Naked bugs came to find me. A different species from the bugs I had trampled on.

They erected my idol and worshipped me.

I became curious. I accepted their prayers.

I summoned wind and rain, moved mountains, and delivered water.

They rejoiced and shouted my name.

It’s pleasing to watch. I decided to keep watching.

Days and nights passed quickly, and their prayers and wishes manifested in the form of beads.

It wasn’t the power I possessed, but the power they created for me.

I felt an incredible energy. I carefully consumed it.

Antlers of a deer, scales of a carp, and claws of a hawk sprouted from me.

…I gained status and ascended.

I transcended the material world and became a being closer to a concept.

I was grateful to the little bugs. Although I could no longer see them up close, I watched from afar.

Oh, and I respected the positions of the weak beings they used to serve.

Pathetic creatures who can’t even think of fighting back and just cautiously watch me.

I am…

━ Ah…!

What the hell, what was that?
