I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 35. Golden Sun Tribe (2)

Episode 35. Golden Sun Tribe (2)

“Magic energy acts as oxygen for demons, so if the portal that emits demon energy is closed, the demons will self-destruct… “There was definitely something like that.”

Harry stroked his beard.

“I remember the cathedral claimed that. “They would say that a goddess gave such a revelation.”

Harry, who took a bite of grilled lizard, spoke again.

“What is certain is that the magic energy currently spreading on earth has the effect of strengthening demons and polluting the ecosystem. It pollutes not only the ecosystem but also the human mind, turning it into a worshiper.

“Maybe if they had the ability to drive out demonic energy like priests or wizards, it would be difficult for ordinary people to resist demonic energy.”

In some ways, I think devil worshipers are more similar to modern zombies than Charon’s zombies.

Virus zombies are more popular these days than voodoo zombies.

Harry, who was talking intently, sets his sights on Lakhe.

“… “Surprisingly, the barbarians seem to have adapted well.”

That’s a bit surprising to me too. Don’t barbarians have something similar to magical energy resistance?

Lakhe, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, opened his mouth.

“It’s not much different from you guys. Those who cannot adapt will simply die.

For us, losing our faith means death.

“There is nothing more humiliating than abandoning the Loa and becoming worshipers of demons, so there are many who choose to commit suicide before they are completely infected.”

oh… It was ‘survival of the fittest’.

“greatness.”

Harry is just stroking his beard as if he is embarrassed.

Anyway, it pollutes the ecosystem… Is it similar to terraforming? It might be possible to spread demon energy to create an optimal environment for demons to live in.

So why do demons and worshipers eat uninfected livestock?

Wouldn’t infected material contaminated with demonic energy be better food for them?

Well, since the same magical energy flows, it feels like we are the same kin…

When my thoughts reached that point, I got goosebumps.

– Wizard Harry. Is there a possibility that the infected agent becomes evil?

no way. please.

Harry looks at Totem No. 3 with a serious expression.

“…Don’t the demons look strangely similar to the animals on earth?”

Holy sh*t.

Are all infectious agents potentially evil?

I will kill every single person I see. It’s already like that though.

Harry told me that there was a research result from the Imperial Magical Technology Research Council that showed that if an infected entity continues to absorb demonic energy and continue cannibalizing, it can go through a process similar to evolution and become a low-level demon, but this was so difficult that I only half-understood it.

“Kuhuh- um! devil. infectious agent. Right.”

Canto was almost on the verge of going to dreamland.

– Is there any other information that might help you exorcise the demons?

Are there any hidden pieces that only civilized people know about?

“Before the empire fell, it brought experts in golem science into a secret laboratory to work on a project.

I remember the intention was to mass produce a new type of battle golem to fight against the demon army.

I didn’t participate because I had to take care of my granddaughter Luna, but I know where that place is.

… “There may be no living wizards now, but if we’re lucky, we might be able to obtain the results of their research.”

Harry gently closed his eyes as if remembering them. There must have been a lot of acquaintances in the same field.

This is valuable information. It would be of great help if you could get at least the blueprint for a mass-produced golem.

– The mid-level demons sent coordinates to the high-ranking demons right before they died. Is there any way to stop that?

“You can neutralize it by interfering with the casting, but to do that, you must have a mana management ability that is superior to the target.”

– Can you interfere with the casting of mid-level demons?

This is a serious matter.

“You can’t interfere with casting, but you can create a device that can interfere. “The ingredients are easily available and the production is simple, so you can make it quickly.”

Harry added that he made several such items and delivered them to the military before the destruction.

The company name is ‘Magic Disruption Device’.

“I don’t know if it will work against mid-level demons, but there is a good chance.”

good. There’s a possibility somewhere.

If he could just interfere with the coordinate transmission, Harry would have already done more than one serving.

It’s not long until we conquer Symphonia.

Harry finished the meal by saying that if we go down to the village we defeated, we can get magic stones and materials, so we can use them to increase the movement time of the golem in the water and make interference equipment.

1. No matter what, the portal must be closed.

2. Infected entities can evolve into lesser demons.

3. There is a place where a ‘masterpiece of conversion’ created by all the golem expert wizards gathered together.

4. Harry can create equipment that breaks casting.

Is this the extent of the information obtained today?

If you have some free time after conquering Symphonia, it would be a good idea to go to the third information location.

It wasn’t a very far area from here.

***

It’s been a few days since I collected the magic stones and obtained all the materials for the magic disruption device.

Tenzo, who had gone to scout the bottom of the mountain for a while, stood in front of the Tribal Alliance leadership to report.

As for the leadership, it’s just Lakhe, Paya, Kanto, Muri, and Harry gathered at the altar.

“The devil’s vision was everywhere. “It was even at the beginning of the mountain.”

– Right.

“I see quite a few worshipers. “It moved like scouting.”

The same thing happened to George the first time.

The demons noticed due to the excessive subjugation. Even if you didn’t notice, you would have known that something strange was happening.

“It would be best not to move for a while. “If you move too hastily, you could get attacked.”

“Lesser demons cannot think as complexly as humans. “We will patrol for a few days and then turn our attention elsewhere.”

Lakhe gave his opinion, and Muri added.

After resting for a few days, Myuri used a cane as she still had difficulty moving.

It is said that there was magical pain as he had to make two mini totems in a short period of time.

I told him not to worry because it wasn’t life-threatening, but I’m still a little worried because of his age.

Anyway, the idea was to take a short break. I agree with both women.

George had four level 5 attack bases and had the combat power to attack three villages at once, so he was able to launch a counterattack, but the current tribal alliance has no personnel other than Lakerang Kanto to face the low-level demons.

With Rake, you can conquer a village by yourself, but with Kanto, it’s difficult.

Even though he defeated the low-level demon, he was able to achieve a safe victory thanks to the support of strong warriors like Tenzo and Una.

– Can a golem take on a lesser demon?

asked Harry.

“Rock golems have excellent durability and strength, but are slow on their feet. It was originally made for construction purposes. “It might be a slow and large devil, but if you were to fight a devil with good mobility, it would be difficult.”

This means that since you don’t know what kind of demon you will be fighting, there is a possibility that you will lose.

In the end, only Lakke can cleanly dispose of low-level demons.

In this case, it is better to quietly wait for an opportunity.

Now, it’s not a situation like ‘If you don’t hit quickly now, you’ll lose’ like it was during the George Attack Team.

The George attack force was using the village as a base. They attacked in a hurry because they were afraid that the demons would join forces and surround the village on all sides and invade it.

On the other hand, this is a mountain. It is a place where demons and worshipers do not come, and even if they do come, it is difficult for a large army to ascend.

The warriors of the Blue Moss Tribe were born and raised in the mountains. Lakke, who has excellent mobility, will also be able to fly.

If we fight in the mountains, we have an unconditional advantage.

There was enough space.

Even the devils and worshipers will lose strength if they keep scouting for a few days. You can hit them then.

Also, just because the tribal alliance headquarters is closed for a bit doesn’t mean my growth will be significantly delayed.

Because the Golden Sun tribe is also steadily earning points.

Yesterday, I took the Zombie Control Blessing to intermediate level.

– That’s right.

A decision was made to suspend the suppression operation for a few days.

In the meantime, I decided to move to Totem No. 2 and help the Golden Sun Tribe hunt.

“Malak! This is Chieftain Tur. The subjugation is ongoing. The totem is not yet complete, so please wait a little longer.”

– Today I came to help the Golden Sun Tribe.

Catching low-level demons would require a lot of force, so we mainly targeted groups of infected entities.

It was an inevitable choice because the Golden Sun tribe did not have an asymmetrical power like Raque.

Like in a simulation game, isn’t it possible to replenish the troops lost by having children all at once?

It’s a demonic apocalypse world. Will the birth rate increase?

“Oh oh! “Are you here today too?”

I helped him with healing totems and zombie control a few times, and he really liked it.

“Long live Loa Malak!”

“I am the Loa of the Loa!”

The warriors who were conflicted about me, perhaps because they worshiped only Rakan as the best, now truly serve me.

It’s natural to be more concerned about chicken nearby than pizza far away. What if that thing is God?

The analogy may be a bit strange, but it says it all.

Today was also the time when we moved to Totem No. 2 to support the Golden Sun Tribe’s battle.

It feels like raising a secondary character, so it’s quite interesting.

“Ah, Master Malak!”

“Are you here!”

Tours and Bojac welcome me.

Tour was riding a horse, armed, and I (Totem No. 2) was sitting in Bojak’s carriage with various decorations.

What armed? Was it during a subjugation?

“I was already thinking of praying to Malak. This is a situation where a blessing may be needed… hahahaha.”

I followed Bojak’s gaze.

We see people engaged in combat with a swarm of infected beings who are potential assailants, or rather, potential lesser demons.

They were civilized people with white skin, and they were led by a woman dressed as a nun and a middle-aged knight.

This is my first time seeing a group of civilized survivors.

– Are you going to save them?

Tour grinned.

“Didn’t Master Malak tell you to save civilized people? “Originally, I would pretend not to know, but since Malak wants it, I have to follow it.”

I had no idea that they would voluntarily help civilized people like this.

this is a bit exciting
