I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 199. IF – If We Joined Hands With Asha (1)

Episode 199. IF-If I held Asha and her her her her hand her her her (1)

# This story is based on the assumption, ‘What if it were like this?’ It is not a political affair.

Suddenly!

Asha’s black energy bound Charon’s feet, and Lakhe’s meteor sword cut off Charon’s neck.

The evil spirit had just been killed, so it was time to think that everything was over.

“Malak! I will bring you eternal destruction!”

Charon opened her eyes wide and fired something of hers at me. It was a spell that completely banished God from the material world.

Ah…

Even though I was sighing, I was able to accept it more calmly than I thought. Because it wasn’t something completely unexpected.

In a short moment, I checked on Lakhe and Asha. Asha looked like she still didn’t understand what had happened, and Lakhe looked pale.

Since Lakhe remains, we can stop Asha even if she runs wild like an unbridled colt. Let’s believe in Lakhe.

Looking back, it was a really tough fight. Aside from the fight against demons and Charon, what gave me the most trouble was the problem of Asha and the Black Coral tribe.

There was only one reason for accepting the cannibalistic men who attacked the Dina Special Forces as colleagues, and that was to supplement the Tribal Alliance’s current insufficient strength.

Isn’t there a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? I was planning to use these sea monsters as consumables to destroy the devil.

However, things didn’t go as planned. Asha and the sea monsters thrived and grew even in the place where they were thrown to fight and die.

Also, the paladins turned their backs on me. He refused to cooperate with both the Dina Special Forces and the Infiltration Attack Team, saying that he would not cooperate with an organization that worked with man-eating monsters.

Managing the public sentiment of people belonging to the tribal federation was also difficult. I trembled every time Asha and the sea monsters appeared.

In the end, there was no choice but to defeat the demons with only the power of the tribal alliance. Although Lake, Paya, Kanto, and Asha and the sea monsters were as strong as the Holy Knights, they were not defeated… It was inevitable that many sacrifices would follow.

It was all a reward for collaborating with monsters who abandoned morality.

Well, that’s it… Anyway, I won. I’m not sure if this is just winning the fight or if it’s really ‘saving’ the earth.

The energy that Charon sacrificed her life to fire arrived right in front of her nose.

Okay. If it ends with me sacrificing myself, I’ll be happy to do it. I closed my eyes as I waited for Jinmalak’s soul to escape.

[Sorry. I owe you a great favor]

At that time, a voice rang in my head.

[The earth is in chaos, so you still need me]

With those words, Jinmalak’s soul escaped from the manifested body.

Because I understood the true fate, I silently accepted ‘eternal extinction.’ I only won the war, but I failed to stabilize the people.

Well then, I’ll leave the rebuilding on the ground to Jinmalak, and I’ll take a break. All you have to do is become a ghost and watch.

… Ghosts are a bit ominous, so think of it as becoming invisible.

Soon after, he was hit directly by ‘eternal destruction.’ She wasn’t sick. What should I say? I feel like I suddenly took a lot of sleeping pills and had a headache.

Jinmalak’s manifested body slowly disperses in blue light. After a while, my body his completely disintegrated, and I became a ghost floating in the air.

Charon is seen disappearing as a result of sacrificing his soul to use ‘Eternal Death’. To be exact, it was the soul of Charon.

“When I wondered how that powerful being came down, it turned out that it was a trick by putting a soul inside a soul.”

The guy muttered with a humiliated face.

“You survive by using a possessed person as bait. After all, Loa guys are all the same.”

I wanted to shoot back at you, who had been trolling me for all sorts of reasons, but it was impossible because I was a ghost and not even a soul. It is literally a wandering vengeful spirit.

“I may disappear from here, but the end of the myth will definitely come… !”

After saying those words, Charon completely crumbled into dust and disappeared. It was a miserable end for a villain.

I saw Asha and Lakhe in the body of the evil god.

“Oh, no.”

Lakhe used the ‘Summon a Believer’ blessing on himself. I don’t know where she was going, but it was clear that she wanted to find the day she met her death.

“Husband… ?”

Asha was just looking at the place where Jinmalak’s manifested body disappeared with a blank expression.

Damn you. I have never once acknowledged her as my bride. Are you saying that Lakhe is not here right now? Sometimes, whenever she brought up the word ‘my husband’, Lakke glared at her with a killing intent.

‘If you utter the word ‘myunggun’ out of that stinking, dirty mouth one more time, I will cut you into pieces like a fish.’

At that time, Lakhe was very cruel.

… What happened to Jinmalak now? Since I, the medium, disappeared, did I ascend to the spirit world again? Or did I re-descend using the divinity I had collected so far?

I wanted to find out right away, but it was impossible. I was so mentally tired.

Let’s sleep a little, just a little, and check. Somehow, I let go of the spirit I was holding on to.

Losing consciousness was an instant.

***

When I came to my senses again, quite a bit of time had passed.

The capital of the empire, the site of the final battle, was left in a state of destruction. All that is there are the pale corpses of the worshipers.

With his ghostly body his his his (?) His, he headed to Symphonia, where the tribal alliance headquarters is located. I wanted to see Hannah too, but the tribal alliance was the top priority.

Like a ghost that is not affected by the force of gravity, it can move from place to place.

The question, ‘How did you fix it in the horizontal coordinate system?’ Came to mind, but I didn’t even laugh because the subject was me. Well, let’s say it’s different because it’s the realm of magic, not science.

Because he was a ghost, he was not recognized as a possessor, so there was no status window and no community was opened. I didn’t know the entire route to Symphonia by heart, so I had no choice but to wander.

He went forward, recalling the memories of his march to the capital with his warriors. As I went all the way south, I came across Symphonia.

Tribal federation seen again… Fortunately, it stayed the same. It didn’t seem like there was a downfall or internal strife as people were plowing the fields peacefully.

Has Jinmalak returned as expected? I entered the lord’s room, which had been converted into an altar.

“Crops are growing well. The harvest is also very good.”

Rachel was reporting in front of the totem. Asha was visible, but Lakhe, who was always fighting with Asha for the totem position, was not visible.

Where did it go?

– Good night. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately.

Sure enough, Jinmalak had descended on the totem. A blue light glows from the totem.

We’re really good, but we’re doing well. It seemed like the information and routine I left in the ‘message sent to me’ was well incorporated.

I stayed at the altar and watched Jinmalak’s daily life his. Sometimes Payana Canto, Rachel, Grandpa Harry, and Luna came to visit. But for some reason, Lakhe was not visible.

“Over there.”

Paya came to the altar and glanced at the totem.

“Malak.”

– Hmm?

“Malak… “Is that correct?”

Paya probably felt spiritually that Jinmalak and I were different. Still, the reason I can’t say ‘no’ for sure is because it was subtle.

Before I became a ghost, I was at a loss but not at the same time. Because my soul was merged with him.

– That’s right.

“Priest Paja. What kind of profanity is that? If you are not Malak, then who… !”

– Stop.

Jinmalak, who had stopped Asha from speaking, was briefly silent as if he was trying to summarize something.

Squeak-!

Lake opened the door and entered the altar.

“Chief Lakhe. Since Malak saved the earth, there hasn’t been a single glimpse of the sun. What wind blew that brought us here like this?”

Lake ignored the snorting Asha and glared at Jinmalak, the totem.

“Where is Malak? “I think you know.”

He had no hesitation, as if he already knew everything.

Is the ‘Malak’ that Lakhe is looking for not Jinmalak but me, ‘Sanj’? Come to think of it, there is something Lake said before the final battle.

‘When all of this is over, there is something I would like to ask Malak.’

I definitely said that. I was anxious, wondering if I was raising a death flag, but now that I think about it again, I think that was a hint.

I think he was telling me that he had realized my identity to some extent.

-Chief Lakhe. Priest Paya.

Jinmalak stopped Asha who was about to get angry and started talking.

– The one you seek is my representative. He is…

A long explanation followed.

“Well, that… ” !”

“Is there any way to call him back to earth?”

Paya whimpered, and Lakhe asked.

-There is a way. But it’s close to impossible.

Jin Malak said that if he gathered the relics imbued with the divinity and performed a ritual, he might be able to call me back.

– As you know, the ground has been seriously damaged. I don’t know if those relics still remain.

Jinmalak, who said so, hinted at the suggestion.

-Chief Lakhe. Your power is needed to rebuild the earth. Why not find relics while rebuilding the earth together?

“I am not your guardian.”

Lakhe shook his head and turned his back.

“You are not my Malak.”

I just left the altar.
