I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 37. Golden Sun Tribe (4)

Episode 37. Golden Sun Tribe (4)

“How dare you stand in front of Master Malak!”

“You have to get your tongue out!”

The barbarian warriors with red faces screamed angrily.

He looks like he might draw a weapon right now.

“That b*tch, what are you doing… !”

There is also a barbarian old man who grabs the nape of the neck.

“Sister! What is this! “We could all die!”

“You definitely agreed to join, didn’t you?”

The civilized people were embarrassed and questioned the nun in a hesitant manner.

It’s a bonus to shake your head sideways while looking at the barbarians, as if to let them know that the nun’s unexpected behavior has nothing to do with them.

“Just calm down for a moment… ”

“Shut up, you dirty civilized person!”

The driver tried to calm the situation, but it was ineffective.

“…”

Tour glared at the nun and motioned for her to bring something, but the subordinate saw the signal and pulled out a sharp knife like an awl from his belt.

What kind of torture device is this? If you’re not careful, it looks like you’re going to get stabbed.

Being a nun is valuable power. When I was fighting a group of infected creatures earlier, I saw it shooting out something like a white light.

It may not be at the level of a paladin, but it will be more useful than an ordinary barbarian warrior when fighting demons.

I guess I’ll have to do this.

– stop.

“…”

All the barbarians become solemn at my words. The subordinate bringing the awl-like knife also stopped walking.

– Sister, tell me your name.

This time the driver did not translate. These are the words of God, so you can hear them without an interpreter.

“…This is Grace.”

Although it is said to be a pagan god, the nun is a god, and the nun answered with a trembling voice as if she were afraid of me.

I can’t even make eye contact properly. Where has all the spirit from before gone?

Suddenly something curious occurred to me.

If a nun’s power comes from a goddess, will she lose that power if she replaces the person she worships with me?

Then it’s difficult.

– I am not commanding you to betray those you serve. All I have to do is serve.

I heard from Harry, a civilized person, that the Goddess Church is not a monotheistic religion.

If you think about it, it is close to a monotheistic religion.

It is a religion that recognizes several gods, but values and worships the goddess Ishtania as the highest.

All you have to do is change your mindset and worship me while worshiping Ishtania.

“…”

Do you hate that too? Well, it must be difficult.

– Grace, I won’t ask you to follow me right away. You will need time to organize your thoughts, and I will give you that time.

Let’s go with the feeling, ‘I am a generous God.’

“Accept it. hurry! “Hurry before God gets angry!”

The knight who knelt again urged the nun.

“…Thank you for the opportunity.”

Sister Grace reluctantly answers.

– But you won’t have to wait long. I’ll have to choose soon.

Let me just say one more thing.

– Don’t forget that the only one who broke the taboo and came down to save the earth was me, Malak. It was not Ishtania who saved you from the infected hordes.

This is what I say to all civilized people.

If I had done this, everyone would have understood. It’s late at night and I have to go soon.

I lifted the binding totem and returned to Totem No. 1.

“ah… !”

I made eye contact with Paya, who was cleaning Totem No. 1.

Ah, today was totem cleaning day. I wasted so much time that I forgot.

“…Are you from the Golden Sun Tribe?”

– Yes.

“What about Chief Nyx?”

Come to think of it, I didn’t see the Knicks. Could it be that they were not taken into battle because they were from a different tribe?

but. In combat, your hands and feet must work well together. No matter how good you are at fighting, you will be worse than your comrades who went through the same training and walked the same battlefield.

I wouldn’t know if I were good at that fight at Lakke’s level.

It could be that other tribes simply treat him in his own way because he is the chief.

– I didn’t see it today.

“I hope you are doing well. You moved your tribe twice… “I think you will be heartbroken.”

– Chief Nyx has a strong heart. You will overcome it soon.

Even in a hopeless situation, Nicks did not lose hope until the end and kept his tribe members together.

Although I served as both a mental supporter and a compass, it would have been difficult without Nicks, who faithfully fulfilled the role of leader.

Paya, who was moving her hands around and diligently cleaning the totem, opened her mouth again.

“…It’s been a while since I spoke alone with Malak.”

is it?

“You always go around with Chief Lake… ”

Paya’s mouth sticks out.

That can’t be helped. Lakhe is the strongest.

It’s impossible to ask Paya to catch a low-level devil.

“But I’m the first… Malak came to my calling… ”

It’s the first family.

Is this an attachment peculiar to children?

It’s cute, like a daughter complaining about her dad coming home late.

Paya huffed and covered her mouth as if she had said something she shouldn’t have said.

“S-sorry. “What can I say?”

– Okay.

Well, I’m still at an emotionally immature age. There was a time like that too.

Was it when you were in middle school? Anyway, it was when I was attending a comprehensive academy.

A really pretty college student came to me as a math instructor.

He was tall, well-proportioned, and well-dressed, truly like a model. She is the second prettiest person I have ever seen.

Luckily, our academy was one that offered private tutoring. I immediately ran to my mom and told her.

‘mother… ! I want to do math… !’

I looked down slightly, opened my mouth slightly, and shed tears.

‘My son has finally come to his senses! good!’

My mother, who was crazy about learning, thought it was right and immediately took out her cell phone.

That’s how one-on-one dating began, or rather, private tutoring… !

8pm, when all academy classes end. I leisurely waited for her, laughing at my friends who liked me and saying that I was finally going home.

Time to sit at the desk with my model-like older sister who finally came to visit.

A beautiful voice coming from next to me, and the soft elbows that sometimes touched because the desk was small.

It felt like I was in heaven.

That was until I heard that my instructor’s sister had a boyfriend of 7 years.

He is the most wonderful man in the world, and I will definitely marry him.

Shibeol… Dirty pure lovers… !

‘Huh~!’

I had no choice but to run out of the academy crying during the lesson.

My math score that semester was 40. At that time, my father took out a fly swatter again.

Isn’t it her fault that I ended up going to the liberal arts department and that I always excelled at math?

– …

It is a memory of my first love that still remains in my heart.

That older sister must have gotten married by now, right? If you do well, you might even have a child.

I remember what she said.

‘ㅇㅇ is going to be a great guy when he grows up~!’

Sister, I have become a totem… Come to this world…

under.

“Malak, is your recovery going smoothly?”

Paya woke me up from my deep thoughts.

Recovery. You’re probably talking about whether you’re earning good points.

– It’s getting better day by day.

I already killed the wild boar infection and learned one more blessing.

I caught three low-level demons and killed the ones closest to them, so it was time to come out.

The problem is that this is a consumable blessing like ‘Berserker’s Energy’.

[The Path of the Elementalist: Instills knowledge of elemental magic. The more talented a person is, the higher the level of achievement they can achieve. This blessing can be given to one believer and can only be used once.]

Unlike the Berserker’s energy, which was written to become stronger the more he fights, this time it was not revealed exactly what ‘Spiritual Art’ was.

The question is who will give it to me?

A person with great talent for elemental magic? There has to be some way to check that.

Since this is similar to a spell, I thought it would be good to give it to the priest, but it was a bit ambiguous to give it to the priests of the tribal alliance.

Paya is too young, Muri is too old.

They have to walk for several hours just to go down the mountain, but do they have that kind of stamina?

Aside from that, as a modern Korean in the 21st century, I didn’t want a young girl in her early or mid-teens to fight for her life.

Doesn’t it feel completely different between children playing and throwing axes among themselves and fighting in a real battlefield by throwing axes at the enemy?

“Have you regained your new blessing?”

– Yes.

I explained that blessings are powers that I have had from the beginning.

I fell to the ground and lost my strength… Well, it’s such a common setting.

“okay… I too would like to be blessed like Chief Kanto and fight alongside Malak.

“Maybe we can do that someday, right?”

Paya seemed eager to go into battle like Kanto and Lakhe.

Let’s assume that you respect her opinion, give her blessing, and go out together to subdue her.

And what if she dies?

Won’t I regret it?

… It’s not an urgent situation yet, so let’s think about it a little more.

***

A few days have passed since then.

After looking into the demons’ movements, I went back to the Golden Sun tribe… this.

“Kill!”

“A woman with a snake’s tongue!”

Sister Grace was tied up in the middle of the altar.

“Let’s burn that witch!”

“Let’s offer it as a sacrifice!”

The barbarians tried to set it on fire.

What. Why is an execution ceremony taking place all of a sudden?

“I knew I would be like that… ”

“really… !”

Not only the barbarians, but also the civilized people who viewed Sister Grace were not kind.

Are they reacting like that too?

No, nun. What on earth have you done again?
