I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Totem Golem （3）

Quite a few civilized people were seen among the warriors who left the village with me.

White people, including William and Grace, are naturally mixed among the barbarians.

These friends also adapted well like Siu and were recognized as warriors. I’m touched.

“I will cast a Strengthening Spell.”

Grace covered the Totem Golem with a white membrane.

Since golems are inanimate objects, they cannot receive my totem’s blessings, so it’s better to strengthen them.

Not only Paladins but also nuns have enchantment skills.

━ Thank you.

It was a bit surprising that she also participated in the battle.

Although they acknowledge other gods, the Goddess Religion ultimately regards only one god as supreme and worships it.

I thought she would consider it blasphemous to serve a pagan god and would have withdrawn her power.

Well, the Goddess was called the God of Games in ancient times.

She might not care and just think it’s fun.

Let’s think comfortably for now.

Now the Golden Sun Tribe can receive healing even without me.

“From here on is the territory of the Infected. They are swarming.”

Chieftain Tur pulled out his spear with a skilled posture. The appearance of a seasoned hunter can be seen.

━ Don’t worry. The Infected are no longer a match for us.

The Golden Sun Tribe had been cautious compared to the number of troops they had because they didn’t have asymmetric forces like Rake, Kanto, or Paya&Tteunteuni.

But now they have the Totem Golem, which possesses the golem’s monstrous strength and the totem’s blessings.

We can be a little bolder.

We can even handle one mid-ranking demon using the Totem of Chaos.

As long as a high-ranking demon doesn’t suddenly appear, it’ll be fine. That won’t happen, right?

Ah, should I have sent the magic disruption device Harry made?

It doesn’t require precious materials to make, nor does it take a long time.

It would be good to make several when I have the chance and distribute one to each tribe that has built a totem and an altar.

That way, we can slowly develop other bases.

With the help of this Totem Golem and the magic disruption device, even a small tribe’s conquest of a city is not a dream.

━ I will stand at the forefront.

I stepped forward, ahead of Tur.

My Totem Golem is different from the slow rock golems.

I’ve put in plenty of magic stones. I increased the speed without worry.

“It’s a horde of Infected!”

I shifted my gaze in the direction pointed by a civilized person.

Human-sized hyena Infected were staring at us.

Normally, they would have just attacked, but they’re being cautious.

Are they scared after seeing my Totem Golem?

I used Malak’s Domain to summon clouds over their heads.

The Infected shiver as they are hit by the drizzling rain.

They must be feeling the chill and slowing effects.

“Throw the spears!”

The warriors moved at Bojak’s command.

Kkiik!

The Infected, who were trembling like aspen trees, are skewered and die.

I controlled a zombie to kill a few who were trying to escape.

The Zombie Control blessing is now upper level. When I raised it to upper level, one more effect was added.

[Decay does not progress while controlling a zombie.]

This was the reason why Karon’s zombies didn’t rot easily.

He’s a villain, but he’s amazing. It means he controlled multiple zombies without stopping for a moment to prevent decay.

Is it because he’s an evil spirit that’s been around for hundreds of years and has overflowing mana?

Kkiiik!

Having decided that it couldn’t escape, one Infected lunged at me.

The moment it opened its mouth to bite me, I threw a punch…

━ …?

My fist made a small popping sound as it went through the creature’s belly.

Green blood splattered out, momentarily obscuring my vision.

What the, it’s so strong?

In a way, it’s only natural. It’s a punch from a golem made of iron.

A hyena, whose hide isn’t even that thick compared to other animals, has no power to withstand it.

Massacre…I have to, right?

━ How dare these things that couldn’t even become demons act so arrogantly.

Having gained confidence, I moved around, finishing off the Infected with one punch each.

“You’ve become so strong! You’ve regained a lot of your power!”

Priest Bojak, seemingly overwhelmed with emotion, hopped towards me.

“Those persistent creatures, with one blow…”

“It’s not even Malak-nim’s original power. You’re just temporarily borrowing the golem’s body.”

“How strong will your true form be?”

The warriors are murmuring too. Did I have too much fun?

Looking around, there were only Infected corpses with holes in their bodies.

I killed them mindlessly.

━ They’re just trash. Let’s keep going.

Honestly, it felt good. It’s not just good, it’s a state of extreme excitement.

I’m the one who always stuck to Rake’s side, only moving my mouth and clicking for blessings.

But now? I’ve become a human-shaped robot made of iron, massacring enemies.

This is life.

We encountered two more groups of Infected on the way. Of course, we mercilessly trampled them and moved forward.

There was no need for hundreds of warriors to fight.

We just swept through with the vanguard and it was over.

“Straight ahead!”

Tur whistled, seemingly elated by the consecutive victories.

The warriors’ faces are also filled with smiles.

How nice would it be if all battles were this easy?

“We’ve found a demon. There are no worshippers, but if we continue straight ahead, a clash will be unavoidable.”

That can’t be.

This damn world can’t be that easy.

Ha, I didn’t have high expectations in the first place. It’s always been like this.

I had to face a monstrous creature like the Gorilla Demon as the first boss, the boss of Symphony.

When I went to Bluethan to subjugate the Three-Headed Demon, I was ambushed by the Tunnel Demon, and now the Tribal Federation Headquarters is being threatened by the Shadow Demon.

Thinking about it again, there were rarely times when things went smoothly.

I moved with the warriors to the vicinity of where the demon was said to be.

A giant goat with two horns was sitting and resting.

The first demon I fight after receiving a golden goat offering is a goat.

What a remarkable coincidence.

It reminds me of the creature we fought here in Bolvano before.

It was a boar Infected that was on the verge of becoming a lower demon. This one is 1.5 times bigger than that.

It’s definitely a lower demon.

━ …

You might think, why am I hesitating over just one lower demon?

Why am I nervous about an opponent that Rake can kill with one swing of her sword and Kanto can now easily defeat?

You’re right, but that’s because they’re strong.

I recall the time when I directly fought a lower demon.

It was during the Symphony subjugation. I controlled the zombies and fought against four demons, including the Orangutan Demon.

I barely managed to catch one with Tteunteuni’s help, but I didn’t do anything.

My zombies were torn apart without inflicting any damage on them.

It was the day I realized I was a weakling…

Is that memory still lingering as a trauma?

━ I will handle it.

I can’t keep being afraid forever.

It’s time to overcome the painful wounds of the past.

It would be easy to catch it using the Totem of Chaos, but it’s a waste to use a blessing that can only be used once a day on this kind of opponent.

After summoning the clouds, I moved towards the Goat Demon.

It glares at me with the characteristic eerie eyes of a goat. Horrible horizontal pupils.

The rain that weakens enemies fell, but the Goat Demon showed no reaction.

It seems that the debuff effect of ‘Malak’s Domain’ doesn’t work or is minimal against lower demons.

It’s probably because the blessing level is still low.

Let’s raise Malak’s Domain to intermediate level when I gather more points.

The Goat Demon stood up abruptly and charged towards me.

The intimidation is immense as the creature, the size of a house, rushes through the bushes.

I held my ground.

If I dodge this attack, the warriors behind me will be in danger.

쿵!

The creature rammed me. I was pushed back a little, but there was no damage.

I was worried because of the size difference, but I managed to withstand it.

I’m so glad I don’t feel pain.

I grabbed the Goat Demon’s horns. I tried to break them, but they’re sturdier than I thought, making it difficult.

But I succeeded in grabbing them. It can’t escape now.

Giving up on breaking the horns, I landed a knee kick on its jaw.

The Goat Demon, unable to regain its senses, tries to lower its head. Its head slowly descends.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, I slammed my elbow down on the back of its head.

It’s called the Up-Down Combo.

I’ve never fought before, but I’ve watched a lot of videos. Since there’s no sense of crisis of dying, I was able to calmly use the techniques I’ve seen.

Even though it’s just imitating the movements.

Good. It seems to have landed properly, its eyes are rolling. The creature collapsed sideways.

What the. Lower demon, it’s nothing special.

My trauma is instantly cured.

Should I keep punching its face to death? …No. Let’s use a different method.

Now that I’ve raised Zombie Control to upper level, I might be able to control even lower demons.

I grabbed the neck of the Goat Demon, which was foaming at the mouth, and twisted it.

With a cracking sound, the bone broke. The creature’s breath ceases.

I used Zombie Control before it turned to ash.

Please, please work…!

Yes! Its eyes turn red.

The Goat Demon lifted its head, which it had dropped on the ground.

Then, following my command, it carried the Totem Golem on its back.

This is it!

I’ve obtained a rare mount, no, a Goat Zombie.

It’s like an animal friend, following Tteunteuni.

Now, from today onwards, your name is Solid&Heavy.

Got it?
