I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 23. Necromancer’s Tomb (3)

Episode 23. Necromancer’s Tomb (3)

All the paintings and writings on the mural are probably Caron’s work.

“Let me see if there are any books.”

Nyx and the warriors approached the bookshelf. I took a look at the mural.

Perhaps because of the perk of possession, I was able to read everything written there, even though it was obviously written in a different language.

[I was able to realize this only after everyone in the Autumn Leaf Tribe died and my children stopped breathing. From the beginning, the Loa had no intention of saving us.

Have the Loa ever responded? no. They have never responded. He only gave me a lowly talent called a blessing.

We played tricks on them with a faith that could not be repaid.

Do they know how fast your heart beats when you fall in love at first sight, or how soft the hands of a newborn baby are? No, you won’t know. Since they are non-human beings, it is impossible to know.

Human, weak being. they don’t love us

Realize the truth. Only humans understand and love humans.]

Why did this guy write this on the wall instead of in his diary?

The oddly scribbled handwriting clearly shows how broken the writer’s mental state is.

This is causing something like a zombie apocalypse.

I turned my gaze and read other articles.

[I came into contact with old knowledge and made it my own.

It is a magic or necromancy that controls the bodies of the dead.

The magic that is said to have been forbidden by the Loa… I can see why they’re afraid of this.

This is a spell that invades God’s domain. If you reach great heights, you will be able to wield transcendental power.

I may be able to catch a glimpse of the world beyond this earthly, material world where I belong.

No one has ever gone to that realm, but I am Charon, the greatest priest on earth. If it were me, it would be possible.]

What on earth was this guy trying to do?

[I opened a small hole and peeked into the world beyond the starlight. It was a world where only spiritual beings could wander.

As I was just watching in vain, the beings wandering there whispered to me.

Their name is Watcher. These are people who have abandoned their bodies in the material world and been reborn as spiritual beings using some kind of method.

They said that they had a way to steal the souls of those who lived in the material world, and that they had done many things with it. They are scary beings.

They tried to capture me and make me like them, so I quickly closed the hole and ran away.

It wasn’t just running away. I understood the principle of the ‘method’ they used through whispering.

Information that pollutes your mind just by hearing it… I think it will take a long time to master it perfectly.

If you can learn it, you will have the power to fight against divine beings.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much time left. Ishtania, who claims to be the guardian deity of civilized people, recognized me and dispatched her minions.

Now we have no choice but to act. Rama, Radan, Ratu… My children, give me the courage and strength to face them.]

The world beyond starlight… Are you talking about the universe? Or is it like the 4th dimension?

At this point, it’s a cosmic horror.

My head hurts from all the information I don’t know whether it’s magic or scientific knowledge.

[The gods do not understand us, nor do they love us.

There is no consideration or respect in their actions.

We are their toys. A toy that is played with until it breaks and then left behind.

They will enjoy watching us on earth suffer.

Charon, a priest of the Autumn Leaves tribe and father of three children, dies here.

I will be confused.

He will become a being who rules over death and will be reborn through the death of the gods.

I will end their rule. It doesn’t matter if humanity perishes in the process.

I will not stop until I kill all the gods.]

This was the last post left by Charon, who suffered a serious illness in his later years.

Honestly, I was a little scared while watching it.

Isn’t this the story of humanity’s greatest genius becoming corrupted and trying to destroy the world?

I looked down on it a bit because it was called a zombie apocalypse, but it may have been as terrible as a demon apocalypse.

This is all because of zombie dramas and movies.

At first, people thought zombies were dangerous or something, but later, when the survivors started fighting among themselves, it was inevitable that people would have a preconceived notion that zombies were weak.

“Ah, I found it!”

Nyx pointed to the Book of the Dead with her fingertip.

– Place me in the Book of the Dead.

What might happen if barbarians touch books? The soldiers we killed earlier may have turned into zombies by touching this book.

It is time for the disembodied Loa Malak to step forward. If you feel it’s a bit dangerous, you can return to the main body.

“I will do as you wish, Malak.”

After hesitating for a moment, Nyx took out the Book of the Dead with the stick of the scythe and placed the blade on it.

The book that came into contact with me glowed and disappeared with a pop.

[S———– Control—————-]

What’s this.

[You have learned the blessing ‘Zombie Control (Lesser)’.]

… Has the skill been converted into a blessing?

I checked the status window.

[Name: Malak]

– Available Blessings: Healing Totem (Advanced), Divine Rebirth, Binding Totem, Zombie Control (Lesser),

– Available points: 55

– Family members: Paya, Lakhe, Muri, Nyx

– Community entry

There was no problem.

– The purpose has been achieved. Let’s get out quickly.

“All right.”

No, wait.

– This tomb is dangerous. Could it be possible to hide the grave so that others cannot come into contact with it?

This is correct. Now, with no skills, this place is just an ominous place that shoots out status abnormalities.

Even if we can’t completely close it down, it would be right to take some measures like this.

“I’ll cover it with a bush.”

Nyx nodded and moved with the warriors towards the only entrance and exit.

***

After finishing the adventure, I returned to the totem of the Tribal Alliance. For convenience, I will call it Totem No. 1.

“You came pretty quickly. “I was protecting this totem.”

Lakhe, who was leaning against Totem No. 1, greeted me. Thanks to this, I can feel the warmth of people as soon as I arrive.

It seems like he was just resting rather than protecting the totem, but let’s get over that little detail.

– I learned a new blessing.

“Oh, that’s great.”

But is it right to call this a blessing?

If you look at the writing left by Charon, it is said to be a spell that was banned by the Loa, but I have brought it back and am using it again. It’s a bit of a funny situation.

Well, everything goes around and around. I just need to write well.

I asked Lakhe to retrieve the body of a dead animal.

“I brought it from a place called the Feather House.”

A chicken with its neck broken was placed in front of me. The tongue is droopy, and the pupils are turned upside down.

… I think I just killed him.

– Chief Lake, I told you to get the animal’s body, but I didn’t tell you to kill it.

“He was an old, sick guy. “Even if you leave it alone, it will die a natural death.”

It’s too much, really. She is a woman without blood or tears.

I can’t bring it back to life, so I’ll just have to do this.

Used the Zombie Control (Level) skill. But how do you do this?

First, let’s do it as if we are giving a breath.

If you see a chicken and think you are possessed… done!

Kkokkuk…

It became possible to control the chicken’s body. Not by remote operation, but by direct operation.

I lifted up the limp body of Nogye (a nickname for zombie chicken). I guess you could say it’s a corpse exhalation.

“It’s fascinating… “Can I touch it?”

– Does not matter.

My voice came from a place other than Nogye’s vocal cords.

It was a voice that resonated like a totem, and it seemed like it was made through magical actions.

Lake stroked Nogye’s body.

Perhaps because it is a numb corpse, I cannot feel her touch.

Rather, it is fortunate.

If you felt it, you might scream when you get hit by a sword during a fight.

Anyway, using blessings was also successful. Now it’s time to start a new project.

I wanted to take a quick break before that, so I clicked on the community with a light heart.

[Abraham: I’m tired now.

I thought that as I gained experience, things would change someday.

There was hope that we might be able to return to Earth. Not anymore.

Once I reached level 7, I no longer gained experience no matter how many times I killed nearby low-level demons.

However, if you go to catch a mid-level demon, it is dangerous because dark clouds may come…

My max level is 10, but I barely reached level 7. How on earth are you supposed to kill a high-ranking demon? Is it possible to win alone?

I’m sick of the community, I’m sick of hiding, I’m sick of this whole f*cking world.

What is the meaning of this life? I’d rather just die fighting cool than die like this.

Actually, when I was young, I dreamed of becoming a hero. When I go, I want to go in style.

Before I go, I just want to see the face of that bastard, the dark cloud bastard who destroyed George and the raiding party.

I’m going to take on the intermediate demon tomorrow. We’ll keep fighting until he brings dark clouds.

Paladins in the Tibera area should leave on their own if they do not want to be involved.

If you’re curious about how far a level 7 paladin can fight, feel free to come and see.]

Something unusual was happening in the community.
