I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 18. Female knight captured by barbarians (1)

Episode 18. Female knight captured by barbarians (1)

Two days have passed since the snail demon was defeated.

[Name: Malak]

– Blessings available: Healing Totem (Advanced), Divine Revelation, Binding Totem

– Available points: 20

– Family members: Paya, Lakhe, Muri

– Community entry

The healing totem was upgraded to a higher level using the remaining points. Thanks to you, my score is now a mess.

[Healing Totem (Advanced): Sufficiently heals believers within a 100 meter radius. Greatly increases natural recovery. Neutralizes curses and mental skills.]

It wasn’t bad originally, but after raising it to a higher level, it became useful compared to the Binding Totem.

If you have accumulated enough points and no new blessings appear, I think it is worth investing in even the highest level. The lesson I learned from this is that growth-type blessings should not be judged solely based on first impressions.

‘Neutralize curse and mental skills’ written here. This is especially important.

The necromancer’s tomb is characterized by various hallucinations and curses. In other words, it is a dungeon that can be cleared without much difficulty if you are prepared for it.

I remember that the entry level was high compared to the difficulty level because you would naturally gain mental attack defense and curse removal skills only when your level increased.

And now I have the means to guard against hallucinations and curses.

It is not a blessing obtained through the standard route, but a skill obtained by clearing a hidden dungeon. Is there no reason to reject it?

If there’s one thing that catches me off guard, it’s how the ‘zombie control’ skill I get here will be displayed to me.

The skill I use is ‘Blessing’, and the skill the Paladins use is classified as ‘Skill’. I’m not sure what the exact difference is, but since the names are different, I believe they operate through different mechanisms.

Since it is a different technology from Blessing, is it not compatible with me?

Or will the skill be converted into a blessing and tailored to me?

Can you learn it or not? It is the biggest mystery in the current situation.

Anyway, you should try it first.

Oh, there’s some good news. I finally have a map.

When I asked Lake, he said that he got something from the village he defeated before. I also flipped through some of the books I got there.

With Lakhe joining, everything goes smoothly. I just want to give him a kiss.

Of course, I’m saying this because I can’t do it even if I want to.

The mountain where our tribal alliance was located was in an area called Symphonia.

Ah, Tribal Federation is the name of my clan, or rather, group, that I temporarily created. The Brown Rock Tribe also joined, but we can’t call them the Blue Moss Tribe forever.

Symphonia. After reading a book, I heard that it was originally a famous area for being a city of musicians.

It’s not very meaningful information now that civilization has collapsed because of the devil.

If I remember correctly, the necromancer’s tomb was in an area called Dubenheim, but unfortunately, it was very far away from here.

Even if it takes several months to lead a tribal alliance to go there, it is impossible.

But I’m not going to leave like this.

The time has come to put my newly acquired blessing, ‘Bonding Totem’ to use.

I called Paya and Muri. They are the only two intelligent characters in our tribal alliance. Witchcraft can also be used.

Not long after, an old woman and a girl came in front of me.

– Priest Paya, Muri. Are there any tribes in Dubenheim?

It was Muri who spoke first.

“The Skytree tribe is in Dubenheim. “I don’t know if it’s still in the same place now.”

The answer came from Paya.

“Last year, we communicated through Tuntun. “If nothing major happens, it will still be there.”

– Right. Priest Paya, Muri. Can you make a totem the size of your palm? It must be a totem that symbolizes me and can be carried personally.

I gave them a brief explanation of my new blessing.

“It takes some time as it requires precise spells and skills, but it is possible.”

“ah… ”

Muri was confident, Paya hesitated.

Perhaps because he is still a child, he seems to have less time than Muri.

Pa-ya pouted her mouth as if she didn’t like that.

– Priest Paya will send a messenger to the Dubenheim tribe once Priest Muri has finished making the totems.

If you’re the monster pigeon that Paya modified, you can easily carry a totem the size of your palm.

If you can’t go to Dubenheim, mobilize the barbarian tribes living in Dubenheim and attack the necromancer’s tomb.

This is my plan.

If you send a portable totem to the chieftain of the Skytree tribe in Dubenheim and use the Binding Totem Blessing to guide him safely, you will easily clear the Necromancer’s Tomb.

“You are wise.”

“As expected, Malak!”

– It’s not a huge number.

Ah, receiving compliments from two women makes me feel flattered. It’s the way everyone thinks, so I just came up with it.

They just support me because I am Loa.

Let’s calm down. You might think, ‘Do I think I’m a bit of a genius?’ and end up ruining your job.

First of all, the ‘Capturing the Necromancer’s Tomb’ project began.

Now it’s time to tackle the project you’ve been putting off for a while.

[Netkamaanim: I didn’t say anything because I thought I was whining, but it worked out well, right? I just stayed there and got a little bored… ]

Yes, it is time to end the ‘Liberation of Netkamaanim’ project.

I was excited about Lakhe.

– Chief Lakhe, are you busy?

“no. It’s free. “What’s going on?”

Lakhe wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Looking at the shattered rocks all around, it looks like he was training hard.

Well, I guess it wasn’t that urgent anyway.

– Thank goodness. I am planning to free the paladin you gave me earlier. He is also a being sent to fight against the devil. This is a talent needed from a national perspective. Of course, it’s not like they’re just released. There is a price.

Lakhe smiled softly.

“Thoughtful one, you don’t need my permission. “That civilized person belongs to Malak.”

– I need you to get a payment from him and set him free.

“Is this something that needs to be done?”

– Yes. Of course, priest Payana Muri can also do this…

Lakhe shook his head.

“I caught it, so it would be natural for me to release it. I’ll do it.”

I’m glad it progressed quickly.

I asked a woman who was destroying rocks with her bare body a few things.

“…Indeed, I understand.”

***

Grrr-!

Lake opened the stone door of the stone building. This is where Netkama is trapped.

In a dark corner of the warehouse, I saw a person in a restraint with a sack over his face.

Perhaps because all the equipment had been removed, the curves of her body were exposed, but she had a pretty pretty body…

No, curves? Netkama, were you a woman?

– I don’t think I said anything about being a woman.

Lakhe whispered softly.

“I didn’t think it was important. At best, she is a civilized woman. … By any chance, does Malak’s compensation for this change if his gender is female?”

That’s not true though. What happened?

– no. I was just amazed because it was my first time seeing a paladin.

“Oh, that’s what it was.”

Lakhe approached Netkama, who was not really Netkama, and removed the sack covering his face.

A red-haired woman with blue eyes and sharp eyes glares at me, or rather, at Lakhe.

It was a pretty scary look, but Lakhe didn’t even flinch. Instead, he just snorted as if it was ridiculous.

“Eupeup… !”

It seemed like he was trying to say something, but he couldn’t say it because of the gag.

Lakhe, who had been watching quietly, removed the gag.

– Just say what I told you.

Lakhe nodded.

“Civilized people. “You understand what I’m saying, right?”

Netkamaa agreed in silence.

Now the words will come out. First, Lakhe’s reaction upon hearing ‘that’ comes to mind.

‘What do those strange words mean?’

Lakhe… It’s something you should never know what it means. really.

“Ultra Sanz goes crazy in annihilation mode on a moonlit night.”

Ah, no wonder ‘that nickname’ came out of Lakhe’s mouth. I really want to hide in a mouse hole.

If Lakhe finds out what this means, he might look at me with disdain.

“…!”

Netkama’s pupils, who were glaring at Lakhe, widened.

Lakhe, who did not feel ashamed because he did not know the meaning, continued speaking.

“Our tribe’s benefactor, Sanz, asked me to release you.”

“ah… !”

Netkama’s expression brightens in an instant.

“However, there is a condition.”

It’s not over yet.

“Instead of releasing you safely, I will have to spar with the tribe’s warriors for three days. “Nod your head if you accept.”

okay. This is the price I thought it would be.

Let Netkamaa stay with the tribe for a few days and become a training partner for the tribe’s warriors.

Lakhe’s level is too high to be a training partner. But what if it’s not Netcam?

It would be a great help to the warriors’ experience if they could compete safely with a paladin who has learned various skills.

It would also be good for subduing ‘paladins hostile to barbarians’ that you might meet someday.

Of course, I plan to take appropriate measures to prevent Netkamaa from approaching the altar. All we need to do is limit the radius in which she can operate.

Lakhe decided to keep an eye on her.

Netkamaa rolls her eyes. Are you still thinking?

If you don’t like it, well, I’m sorry, but I have to stay locked up longer until a better solution comes up.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t just waste such a good opportunity.

Hiring free instructors is intolerable.

“Tch… ”

Netkamaa, who was thinking about it, nodded.

“Then let’s start tomorrow.”

Lake struck down the curved sword and destroyed Netkamaanim’s restraint.

No, but it’s Lakke. Isn’t this the property of the Blue Moss tribe? I heard that when you brought him in, you tied him up with a rope and dragged him.

She’s a complete bastard.

oh i don’t know Kanto will take care of it.
