I’m the Only Totem in Another World

Chapter 145: Dark Cloud Demon （4）

Wooong!

The Dark Cloud Demon shook violently.

Wooong! Wooong!

Ah, this is that. It’s trying to cover Bluethan, just like it covered all of Dubenheim in dark clouds.

A finishing move from the start. You must be really scared.

Wooou━

The demon that was controlling the dark clouds revealed its true form.

That appearance is… well, what should I say? A giant octopus monster floating in the sky? It also kind of looks like the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

If I were in totem form, I would have been scared and run away. It’s that intimidating and scary looking. Karon and his army would have been annihilated seeing this.

But right now, I’m in Jin Malak’s body. There’s no reason to be afraid. I quietly stared at it to gauge its power.

━ Hmm.

It wasn’t as ‘weak’ as the Shadow Demon, but I didn’t feel any sense of crisis.

Jin Malak’s senses were telling me, ‘I can definitely win this’.

Then… I have to fight, right?

I used ‘Malak’s Domain’ to push away the dark clouds covering Bluethan.

A blue light left my body and shot up to the sky.

Bang!

Higher than the dark clouds, a giant cloud formed with a flashing light.

Swaaaaa━!

Rain began to fall.

The divine power contained in the rain from the cloud pushed away the dark clouds and drove out the darkness that had covered the ground and sky.

This is it. What first evil, creator god?

Even Ishtania, who crossed multiple dimensions, couldn’t touch Jin Malak carelessly.

Even such a cosmic being lost their avatar and cathedral to Jin Malak. Jin Malak wasn’t even a god then. He wasn’t even a dragon, he was an imugi.

There’s no way the Dark Cloud Demon, who only ruled over one world and isn’t even a god anymore, can defeat Jin Malak.

Kkiik?!

The flying demons that were moving with the spreading dark clouds faltered as if they had lost their way. Their faces, filled with fear after seeing me, were vivid as if they were right in front of me.

These bug-like bastards. Should I just fry them all?

I used the additional effect of ‘Malak’s Domain’, Lightning Strike. The damage is weak, but since I’ve used Manifestation, a little more…

Kururung━!

A large, thick lightning bolt flew out like an arrow and struck them. A flame sparked once, and they were all roasted golden brown.

Oh… I can’t use it many times. Should I have just shot it at the Dark Cloud Demon?

“Wooaaaa!!!”

“The Dark Cloud Demon can’t move!”

“Malak-nim is with us!”

“Warriors! Follow me!”

“Aiyaaiyaaiyaa━!”

As the excited barbarians charged with war cries, the civilized people and Paladins who were watching blankly also started to move.

The civilized engineers pulled their assembled catapults and launched stones at the flying demons. Oh, there’s a ballista too.

“Alright! Malak-nim will deal with the Dark Cloud Demon! Let’s take care of the small fry!”

Fallen Power Knight.

“You son of a bitch! You finally met your match! Die, you demon bitch!”

Siu.

“Ah, that woman is trying to fly off alone again! Let’s go over there and fight while covering the barbarians!”

Even Hanna. They each said a word and used their skills.

Even though they’re just fighting the mid to low-ranking demons dropped by the flying demons, it’s still better than nothing.

“Celestial Wings!”

“Tteunteuni!”

Dina and Paya, who had flying abilities, attacked the flying demons that weren’t struck by lightning.

“Ugh…!”

Asha, whom I brought with the ‘Zombie Control’ blessing, seems to be doing well.

“Don’t go ahead of the Golem! Please! Listen to me! You barbarians!”

“Fire! I’m going to drop fire over there! Avoid the fire!”

The mage combo is doing well too.

“Ha!”

As for Rake, she’s always reliable. She jumped onto the back of a flying demon with her super jump and is now moving between them, carrying out a one-sided massacre.

The way she glances at me and smiles every time she has a moment to spare is cute. Does she like my dragon form that much?

Alright, should I start too?

I flew towards the Dark Cloud Demon, which was rolling its thousands of eyes embedded in its octopus head.

This feeling of cutting through the wind, it’s so good.

Ah, I didn’t forget to hit the flying demons that were buzzing around with my body as I flew. The so-called Flying Hit-and-Run.

Kkiek…!

As soon as they touched my body, they turned to ashes and disappeared. They couldn’t withstand the immense divine power surrounding Jin Malak’s body and were annihilated.

This is it. This is the late bloomer. This is the sight I’ve endured for, the overwhelming victory I’ve strived for.

Wooong…!

The Dark Cloud Demon’s tentacles, which were surging like waves, all shot towards me at once. There are over hundreds of them.

Each and every one of them is imbued with divine power. It feels like the Night Stalker Demon’s hand grew larger and then multiplied hundreds of times.

I thought about dodging, but I just charged ahead. If I dodged, my allies could be hit. It didn’t feel that threatening anyway.

The tentacles touched my body and moved around trying to restrain me.

But even though they touched me, they couldn’t inflict much damage. They were just holding me back.

Ah, my body aches a bit because they’re squeezing me tight. I need to get out of this.

Hoooh━!

I breathed on the tentacles. It’s called ‘Malak Ice Breath’.

The tentacles froze rapidly. I tapped the tentacles with my small front paws, which are small compared to my body. The tentacles shattered with a cracking sound.

Even the demon’s tentacles, which blocked Dina’s ultimate skill ‘Celestial Light’ at once, were powerless before me.

ShyaAAAA━!

It spewed darkness all over like an octopus spewing ink, but it didn’t do much damage.

It just made it a little harder to breathe. Even that is gradually washed away by the rain from the cloud I summoned earlier.

At this point, I can feel the difference in level between me and it.

If I’m a fully grown elephant, the Dark Cloud Demon would be a lion or a tiger.

They are nightmares for animals of normal size, but for an elephant, they’re just a nuisance.

I don’t remember ever seeing a tiger or a lion kill a full-grown elephant. Even if a pride of lions attacks at once, an elephant can trample them all and move on.

The true king of the animal kingdom. That’s me.

Clearing away the ink, the Dark Cloud Demon is right in front of me. Our size is similar, or maybe I’m a bit bigger. Or should I say, I’m longer.

I headbutted it.

Thud!

The Dark Cloud Demon’s body was pushed back without even putting up a fight.

━ You insignificant monster. Is that all you’ve got?

My tension rose, and I spoke without realizing it. You can call me ‘The Strongest Tyrant Malak’.

This feeling of becoming overpowered and smashing everything… how can I not be excited.

Wooong!

It tried to pierce my body by transforming its tentacles into sharp points, but they were blocked by my thick scales.

These scales can withstand even a nuclear explosion （headcanon）. They can’t be pierced easily.

Wooong…

Thousands of eyes attached to the Dark Cloud Demon’s head glowed.

Jeeing━!

What is this? Eyeball beam? Are you kidding me? It just stings a little.

Since we’ve closed the distance, I decided to use the Totem of Chaos. My body glowed in five colors and released divine power.

The Dark Cloud Demon’s eyes, touched by the emitted divine power, exploded with popping sounds.

Wooou…!

You’re losing your strength. You’re just getting beaten to a pulp without landing a single effective hit.

…It’s hard to think that comfortably.

It hurts. It wasn’t just painful, it felt like my head was burning. Is it because I’ve used too many blessings?

No, even though I’m the one beating it up, I’m getting tired.

Thinking like that, the situation looks a bit different. Maybe the Dark Cloud Demon isn’t just getting hit because it’s weak, but because it’s strong that it’s still alive even after taking a beating?

It could be enduring the beating until I run out of stamina. If I drag this out, my Manifestation could wear off and I could get hit back.

It was when I grabbed the octopus head with my front paws to finish it off. The scattered dark clouds around it were sucked into the demon.

Is this its last struggle? Its body gradually became blurry…

Puhpuhpeong━!

It exploded with a loud noise.

▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄

━ Gather power.

━ Absorb divine power.

━ Control them and make them your worshippers.

There was a red monster watching the blue dragon soar into the sky from afar.

An error and contradiction of the world. A giant monster, a collection of countless souls, was once a being called Karon.

━ …What is that?

━ Loa, it’s a Loa. A beast that became a god.

━ Loa!

The monster, which had acquired a horrifying body by absorbing various demons, made multiple voices. It wasn’t a sound coming from the monster’s teeth-filled mouth, but a voice echoing like a reverberation.

━ That’s right. It’s a Loa.

━ It’s too strong.

━ That hateful Loa.

“Lo… a…?”

The mouth of the red monster, which was crawling on all fours, moved.

━ Yes, Loa!

━ What’s its name?

━ Udan? No. Rakan? It’s not.

━ It’s a very powerful being.

━ We can’t fight it. Let’s hide.

“Malak…?”

Karon’s soul, which was in a near-trance state due to the souls’ agitation, awakened.

━ Malak! That’s right!

━ Enemy!

“Quiet…!”

The excited souls started chattering loudly, and Karon struggled to regain control.

“Be quiet…!”

━ Control! Control!

━ Stop it!

━ No!

“Be quiet.”

The red monster, which was clutching its head in agony, slowly raised its body.

“Malak…!”

The monster’s eyes focused on the giant dragon. The other voices were no longer heard.
