I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Totem Golem （1）

I arrived safely in Symphony with my party members. The first thing I had to do was already decided.

━ Destroy the warp gate.

“Yes!”

Kwa-gwang!

The gate, hit directly by consecutive Rake Punches, was destroyed.

“It’s alright now. Tracking will be difficult.”

Harry, who disassembled the phone, wipes the sweat off his brow.

Phew. It should be safe now.

I briefly explained Karon to them.

I told them that he woke up in the Necromancer’s Tomb in Dubenheim, he currently controls that area, and he’s controlling Paladins with a zombie army.

“Trouble after trouble. He might be a bigger threat than the demons.”

Harry had a troubled expression.

Not just Harry, but everyone felt the same.

“The end of myth? That delusional apostate is acting out of line.”

“Right. He himself became such a horrible being…”

Rake and Paya exchange words.

Perhaps because they are barbarians, their hatred for the apostate Karon was particularly deep.

“Five people… I can’t forgive him.”

Noah is very angry too.

I checked the community.

Maybe there’s a user who saw Karon’s army. If he’s settled at the northern end, someone should have seen him.

Nothing special.

I feel like there are only more nonsensical posts because of the image attachment feature.

There were map pictures uploaded too, but most of them were just selfies or disgusting pictures.

What did Close-Range Spy upload this time?

The title is too ordinary for it to be Goja Buro bait.

There’s only one comment too.

Thanks to him, I even got the Meteor Sword, a Hidden Piece, so should I click on it once and leave a comment?

I am a lone wolf.

A hyena longing for battle.

Battler…

This is my current form.]

[Not a Netkama: Idiot]

Well… never mind.

The armor is really cool. Yeah. It looks really strong.

He’s a high-level Paladin for sure.

[Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: hehehe]

I left a comment.

This guy seems to have gotten worse after the image attachment feature was added.

Judging by the picture alone, he looks like a silent and strong Paladin… sigh.

There’s a reason why no one pays attention to him.

I searched for ‘Overlord of the Dead’ in the search bar.

[Goollreu: Evacuate if you live at the northern end]

[Tasty: You can assume that the Overlord of the Dead has dominated almost the entire northern region]

[Coffee Cigarette Club: If you see a stingray the size of an airplane floating in the air, immediately lower your head.]

[Dairy Cow Bikini Dance: Run like hell to the east or south!]

I see posts from a few days ago.

Many users warned others.

Except for the five Paladins who became zombies, maybe everyone evacuated to a safe place.

That’s a relief.

━ Let’s go back to the altar and check the offerings.

We brought back a lot this time, so there’s a lot to check.

Beatrice briefly explained it to me, but it’s not enough.

I need to know exactly what’s in my hands.

▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄

I summoned the leadership in front of the altar.

The leadership analyzed the treasures brought from Medica and confirmed the locations where the magic stones were hidden.

“There are quite a lot. It seems like it will be fine once the transportation issue is resolved.”

Rachel, looking at the map where Beatrice marked the magic stone locations, nodded.

“How about using Tteunteuni?”

“Oppa, Tteunteuni’s back will break.”

“Then how about Chieftain Rake carrying them?”

“She could carry your coffin.”

Kanto, this bastard, is just throwing out random ideas.

“…The problem is the Shadow Demon.”

Harry carefully spoke up.

To put it bluntly, among the treasures we received from Beatrice, there was nothing that could help us defeat the Shadow Demon.

For now, the only option is to somehow manage with Rake and the Totem of Chaos.

The Meteor Sword might be able to inflict damage, but would Rake be able to endure in that pitch-black demonic energy?

It would be difficult.

━ We can only do what we can.

We decided to use the treasures that we could use right away.

“…Let’s begin.”

Paya lifted the golden goat.

Its name is ‘Goat of the High Mountain’.

It’s a treasure that was used as the highest offering to the gods.

It’s said that many gods, regardless of whether they were Goddesses or Loa, were satisfied with this offering.

“It’s overflowing with mystical energy. An immense spirituality dwells within it.”

Muri, who was watching, let out a gasp of admiration.

Until now, I hadn’t accepted offerings because I thought it was a waste of resources, but I want to accept this one.

No. I must accept it.

Something inside me is screaming at me to accept it.

“Oh, great Loa Malak, hear my prayer…”

Paya placed the goat on the altar and chanted a spell.

The golden goat slowly melts and is absorbed into the altar.

[You have obtained a precious offering! There is a blessing you can learn!]

As expected. I had a feeling this would happen.

Among my blessings, there are some that can only be obtained by meeting special conditions.

Like ‘Power of the Wind and Rain God’, which appeared after obtaining the Symphony territory （to be precise, after it became more like a proper territory）.

The blessing I can learn now must be of that kind too.

[Transmission Totem: Allows a follower to summon an offering placed before an altar to another totem. Living beings cannot be summoned.]

It’s a material transportation skill. This is good.

I can use this to move the magic stones.

I told the people gathered in front of the altar about the new blessing I acquired.

“Then…”

Harry placed a magic stone in front of the altar where Totem No. 1 was located.

[Would you like to move the offering?]

I moved my consciousness to Totem No. 3 and clicked the message.

The magic stone drops in front of Rake’s feet with a thud.

Test complete.

“Malak-nim’s powers are returning. I’m glad you seem to have recovered a lot.”

Rake looks proud.

This is why it’s important to sew the first button correctly when telling a lie. It’s so convenient that they misunderstand on their own.

━ Thank you.

I’ve acquired quite a few blessings. I checked my entire status window after a long time.

[Name: Malak]

━ Available Blessings: Healing Totem （Highest Grade）, Divine Possession, Bond Totem, Zombie Control （Intermediate Grade）, Totem of Chaos, Power of the Wind and Rain God, Malak’s Domain （Lower Grade）, Strengthening Tattoo （Lower Grade）, Transmission Totem

━ Used Blessings: Berserker Soul （Kanto）, Skilled Spirit Master （Paya）, Totem Guardian （Rake）

━ Available Points: 4500

━ Kinsmen: Paya, Rake, Muri, Nix, Bojak, Solra… （See more）

━ Enter Community

I’ve become much stronger.

I have nine blessings and have bestowed three.

I possess a total of twelve blessings.

If I were a Paladin, I’d be level 12.

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d be stronger than a level 10 Paladin, but I’m satisfied.

Unlike Paladins, whose max level is 10, my max level could be higher.

Paladins are superhumans, and Loa are gods.

A max level Loa has to be stronger than a max level Paladin.

It would be nice if I could reach level 30.

Then I could take care of Karon and everything else with a single punch.

━ Let’s aim to move the Giant.

I also obtained a map with the magic stone locations marked. Once I acquire a certain amount, I’m going to activate the Giant.

Right now, the Giant is the only answer.

Let’s use the heat ray on the Giant’s chest to annihilate the Shadow Demon.

━ I will regain my strength while gathering magic stones.

The Tribal Federation’s activities are restricted because of the Shadow Demon.

At times like this, it’s good to develop other bases and earn magic stones and points.

I also need to retrieve Totem No. 2.

Among the treasures I brought back this time, there are some that I think would be good to use with Totem No. 2.

“…You’re trying to retrieve the small totem?”

━ That’s right.

I nodded at Harry.

“I’ll be ready.”

Harry stroked his beard. He’s reliable at times like this.

If things go well, I might be able to use the treasures I obtained this time to get a permanent body, not a temporary one like a zombie.

“I will subjugate the areas near Bluethan with the warriors!”

Kanto shouted enthusiastically.

There are places where magic stones are hidden there too.

“I…”

Others also pledged to do their duties.

“You won’t be able to come often.”

Rake has a slightly dissatisfied expression.

I understand why, but it’s not good to be stuck with me all the time.

You need to move independently too.

Let’s give her a quest.

━ My guardian Rake, find a shortcut from Polaris to Martba.

I added that she should retrieve the magic stones hidden around there while she’s at it.

Martba is where Hanna is currently hiding from sea monsters.

It’s not too far from Polaris, so Rake should be able to find a way within a few days.

Once I deal with the Shadow Demon, I’ll go help Hanna.

“Martba… Isn’t that where that Paladin woman is?”

Huh, did I mention that?

I think I did.

━ That’s right.

“…Understood.”

Rake hesitated, as if she had something to say, but she accepted.

She probably has a bad relationship with Hanna.

Well, they fought from their first meeting, so it’s unlikely they’d be close.

━ Do your best in your respective positions.

Someday, those two women will have to get along.

I moved my consciousness to Totem No. 2.
