I Am the Only Totem in This World - Chapter 197



Episode 197. IF – Malak Did Not Respond (2)

Episode 197 IF – If Malak did not respond (2)

– The priest who left Loa to learn necromancy, you have come to the right place. I am Charon, the archenemy of the gods and the greatest necromancer on earth.

The eyes of the dog that Charon took over gave off an eerie red light. I felt like I could see Charon’s madness at a glance.

– By the way, the dead man’s stand.

Charon scoffed when he saw the Book of the Dead in Paya’s hand.

– There are many things that are not written in the Book of the Dead. The book only contains the basics learned through foolish methods by low-level necromancers who were abandoned by their tribe and ran away. Only I, Charon, know the true essence of necromancy.

Charon added that even if she learned all of the Book of the Dead, she would only be able to control low-level zombies.

– Priest Paya. Won’t you defeat the cruel gods like me and save the earth? It’s about saving not only your tribe, but everyone.

He was Charon, who offered cooperation, saying he would hand over the essence of necromancy he had learned to Paya. Just a little while ago, the shamelessness of the subject who tried to take away the body was extreme.

“…”

But Paya had no other option than this. There was too much I lost to get here to just go back.

“Did Tunteun’s body also be taken away through necromancy?”

– No. This is different from necromancy. It is a spell that subdues the soul and robs the body. If you want, you can also pass it on. Of course, if we cooperate.

“…Can’t you give Tuntun back?”

Charon thought briefly and shook his head.

– Impossible. The soul of the person subdued by this spell falls into deep unconsciousness, making it difficult to return.

“…”

Paya, whose fingertips were trembling at that terrible answer, nodded his head.

A feeling of helplessness and anger welled up deep inside my heart, but in the end I had no choice but to cooperate with Charon.

That’s how Paya and Charon left the necromancer’s tomb.

From noble mtl dot com

“Ugh… !”

Outside the tomb, Una was wailing as Kanto lay dead.

Only then did Paya realize that there was no one left in this world who cared about her.

There were no parents, no one, no one, and no brother Kanto. Only the evil spirit named Charon, who gave off a mysterious atmosphere everywhere, remained by her side.

Paya, once again swallowing tears, approached Una and her warriors her her her.

– It is the body of a powerful warrior.

Danteun, who was fluttering about and looking down at Kanto, said.

“T-Teunteun said?”

“What the hell is this… ” “

Paya briefly explained the situation to the panicked warriors.

“Karon? Are you saying that the apostate has now been taken over Taeun-yi’s body?”

“Huh.”

The warriors did not take it well because it was an unexpected situation, but there was another critical problem.

– Priest Paya. Your brother’s soul has already left this earth. The body is just an empty shell. I will turn him into a zombie and give him a demonstration.

The idea was that if it was a corpse, you could turn it into a zombie and control it, regardless of whether you were a friend or an enemy. The biggest problem was Charon, whose way of thinking was different from theirs.

– Going to another area with this force now would be suicidal. What if you encounter demons, cultists, or hostile civilizations? You may be attacked without even having time to use necromancy. Priest Paya, this is not an option, it is a necessity.

While everyone’s faces were rotting, Charon’s explanation continued.

– Didn’t you come to this far and rough place for the safety of the tribe? Didn’t you turn your back on Loa to defeat your enemies? There is no need to think hard. This is one step toward creating an undying army. Once you have mastered necromancy and can control the zombies, he will hand over control.

What ordinary people think of as’blasphemy against death’was his lifestyle

“Nonsense!”

It was Una who had feelings for Kanto and served as his left arm for a long time. It was natural for her to be very angry.

The other warriors were also huffed and objected, but Paya just asked back at Charon.

“Kanto people… No. “Is it true that my brother’s soul left his body his his his?”

– That’s right.

“…”

The reason Paya was worried was n’t just’to survive on the way back.’He didn’t want to bury his brother’s body in this far away land, so he wanted to keep his brother his by his side his his his his.

It was like the stubbornness of a child who cannot let go of his dead family.

“…Please do that.”

In the end, I had no choice but to accept it this time too. It’s unavoidable, and like Charon said, I think it’s a necessity, not a choice.

“Jeez, priest! Please think again. “This is an insult to Chief Kanto!”

“…”

Although Una desperately cried out against it, she could not change Paya’s mind hers.

“Turn it off… !”

Eventually, Kanto, who had become a zombie, woke up. With bright red eyes shining. It was my brother, but it wasn’t my brother.

But there was no time to complain. She is a priest of the Blue Moss tribe. She had to return to Symphonia quickly for the sake of her tribe.

– Good. As expected, you have a nice body. Now, let’s leave. Let’s lead the undying army and go down to Symphonia.

Charon took the lead, flapping her wings. Kanto, who had become a zombie, scurried along and followed.

***

Whoa whoa-!

The gorilla demon who had ruled Symphonia for years screamed. The orangutan devil and the chimpanzee devil grabbed each of his arms.

Now that they have become zombies, they are no longer the henchmen of the gorilla devil. It’s not just these two demons. All lower-level demons under the gorilla demon had become zombies.

An army was sent to kill the barbarians identified with ‘devil’s vision’, a crude magical creature, but they all came back as zombies.

Crunch… !

As a final struggle, the gorilla demon concentrated his mind to use coordinate transmission, but even that failed.

-No use. Twisted spirit. If you have enough mana, you can easily destroy your primitive magic.

This was because the giant pigeon that was flying around was using strange tricks to interfere with the transmission of coordinates.

Of course, the identity of the pigeon was Charon. He tried to change into the body of a captured worshiper or a demon, but since the body of the spirit creature was superior, he chose to stay.

Phew!

Eventually, Zombie Kanto’s ax got stuck in his chest.

An attack that is possible because physical limitations have been lifted by becoming a zombie. It was an overwhelming force, enough to pierce even the gorilla devil’s steel-hard skin.

– Priest Paya. Symphonia is now yours. Use this castle as a base and save the earth!

Charon said with a squeak. It was cute when Teunteun did it, but when Karon did it, it just looked terrible.

“…”

Paya watched the dying gorilla demon.

Three months. This is the time it took to come down from Dubenheim to Symphonia, stay in the tent, learn necromancy, and catch the gorilla demon.

“Chief Una. Thank you for your hard work.”

Paya gave a short thank you to Una, who was looking at the zombie army with fearful eyes along with his warriors.

“…Paya.”

Una, who was the second strongest after Kanto and Tenzo and was highly popular among warriors, became the chief. He became the leader of all the Blue Moss tribe’s warriors, but it didn’t mean much.

The battle was taken over by zombies led by Paya and Karon. Una and his warriors just stood in the background in the name of protecting Paya.

Una looked at Paya with worried eyes. Paya had become even paler after learning necromancy.

The child who smiled so easily and had a lot of emotions became cold, as if he were a corpse. Would it be more accurate to say that we have become ruthless? Anyway, I couldn’t help but worry.

Una visited her several times on her own and recommended that she gave up necromancy even now, but Paya did not accept it. Paya only asked what would become of her brother who sacrificed his life to reach the necromancer’s tomb.

Paya looked up at the sky. The devil’s vision that was sent for reconnaissance earlier… No, the creatures that were now in the sight of zombies were coming this way.

“Okay. “What did you see?”

I shared their minds and read their memories. Since they are artificial life forms that have no soul and only follow orders, it was easy to interfere with their minds.

The zombie’s field of vision contained the image of a female paladin trembling in the cave, looking in this direction with only her eyes out

She looked very young, and I wondered if she was a year or two older than Paya.

Paya didn’t know it, but she knew that the paladin’s name was Noah Sasaki. She was a girl attending high school in Japan.

“…Paradise.”

The hateful creatures that took her brother’s life her her her her. There is no reason not to kill.

“I found a new body. Let’s go.”

-Is he a paladin? Good night. There were many questions about their identities. Now it’s time to find out.

Like Paya, Charon, who saw Noah through the eyes of a zombie, picked up Paya and took off.

Due to Charon’s magical spell, it grew bigger and bigger, and now it was big enough to fly even with two adult men on it.

The two necromancers moved, dispersing their friendly energy.

Oooh… !

A zombie-turned gorilla demon followed them.
