I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 16. Mixed race is too strong (1)

A new member has emerged.

It happened so suddenly that I looked like a fool in the past when I had seriously thought about how to make a subordinate.

Canto didn’t work out, but why did Lakhe work?

“My name is Muri, the daughter of Dokin and Muta and the priest of the Brown Rock Tribe. “It is a great honor for this old man to meet Loa in person before he dies.”

While I was zoning out, Myuri came up to me and knelt down. It’s next to Lakhe.

“I will serve Malak as I serve Rakan.”

[Muri has become a member of the family.]

Eh?

Also, you suddenly become part of the family like this? Hmm… let’s think about it calmly.

Paya and Muri are priests, and Lakhe is a mixed Loa.

What they have in common is that they are related to Loa and have magical powers.

Isn’t the reason Canto and others couldn’t become my subjects because they don’t have special powers?

This makes sense. I guess my family can only be priests or people related to Loa.

– Lakhe and Muri. Welcome to my family.

“It is your own family.”

“It is an honour.”

Lakhe and Muri bow their heads and answer at the same time.

I sent away Myuri, who was tired from the long walk, and Kanto and Paya, who had gone to treat the newly joined barbarians, and faced Lakhe alone.

Lakhe sat back down on the chair, his eyes still focused on me.

– hmm.

It’s uncomfortable.

Even as I was thinking that, my body was recalling the feeling of Lakhe that I had felt earlier.

Was it a big shock to feel the warmth of someone I hadn’t seen in a long time?

I squeezed and opened the hands of my virtual body, enjoying this familiar yet unfamiliar sensation.

My virtual body is modeled after Paya’s original form. So, at first it was Paya.

I didn’t want to remain in the form of a girl nearby, so I consciously massaged my body, and it changed into the form of myself.

I don’t know the principle. As I kept thinking about my image in my head, my body changed.

Perhaps because it was a virtual space, when I imagined a keyboard, the keyboard appeared right in front of my eyes. Thanks to this, I was able to participate in the community comfortably.

Why was it possible for Laqueman to make physical contact with me?

Even though they are mixed race, is it because they are of the same race? It’s a setting that makes sense.

“That’s too bad. If I had strong spiritual abilities, I would have been able to see your true self. “You must be showing off your dashing and handsome appearance.”

Lakhe sighed as he stared at my handsome totem body.

no. do not do that. You will be disappointed when you see me being just a slob.

I told her that I would detain Netkamaanim until the disposition was finalized.

“Anyway, it’s a small gift I prepared for Malak, I don’t mind. “I will leave everything to Malak.”

I kind of appreciate that.

I explained my plans after joining Lakhe. An explanation of my blessings and abilities was also included.

Now that she was my best ally, I had to share the information.

I’m not sure what kind of person he is yet, but at least he seems loyal to me, so there’s nothing wrong with that.

“You mean to attack a village near the mountain? “It is the only way to strengthen Malak’s blessing.”

– Yes.

“okay. … Could you please give me your blessing? I wonder if Malak can join me.”

We’re together. That’s a bit harsh.

– Sure.

I showered Lakhe’s body with a blessing.

I feel like my senses have greatly expanded. The world Lakhe feels comes to me.

The sound of insects rustling and moving near the altar. You can hear everything, including the sound of falling grass and birds singing.

Is this the world that superhumans feel?

“Malak, I heard that you can take control of your body. Would you like to try it?”

– Sure.

Which would be better? After all, it must be the lips, right?

I want to see you panicking as a man’s voice comes out of your mouth for the first time.

Now, let’s steal your lips… It doesn’t work, right?

Unlike Paya, stealing Lakhe’s lips was a very difficult act. I was concentrating, but I couldn’t take control.

I feel like something is blocking my consciousness.

“I guess I can resist. “Excuse me.”

Something blocking my consciousness disappeared, and I was able to claim Lakhe’s lips.

“hmm. Confirmed.”

I just checked what was occupied and released the release. It’s not funny because I’m the one who panicked first.

I just realized that loa hybrids can resist my consciousness.

“Okay then, shall we go catch the devil now?”

– what?

A rebuttal automatically arises from a bombshell remark.

“Shouldn’t you get a new blessing?”

that’s by the way… So quickly?

“Do not worry. “I will show you a great show, Malak.”

Lakhe grinned. Unlike before, it was quite a belligerent smile.

***

Sasasak-

Lake’s feet moving through the bush were so fast that they were invisible. It’s almost like a cheetah or leopard.

It’s impressive that it moves so fast and manages to avoid the sight of the devil, a round, one-eyed creature floating in the air.

I didn’t see it during the last infection cleanup. It seems that what Canto said about going to a place where the devil could not see was true.

“Aren’t you upset?”

said Lakhe, who was descending at great speed.

I didn’t answer. Because I felt like vomiting.

Even though I feel the same way she feels, she is a superhuman and I am an ordinary deviant.

It’s normal to be mesmerized when you feel this inhuman speed.

By the way, I want to throw up even though I don’t have the stomach to do so. Is it because the brain is sending a signal that says ‘I want to vomit’?

“Malak? “You’re joining me, right?”

– Yes.

Ah, if I had known it would be like this, I would have said to take it a little slower first.

I should have agreed when Kanto stopped Lakhe in the small meeting.

‘No, are you saying you’re going to fight a village by yourself? Chief Lakhe, no matter how confident you are in your skills. ‘That is arrogance.’

‘Oman? It must be confidence. I’ll catch the devil, so you can leave it alone.’

Lakhe accepted it very coldly. I was a bit surprised by the completely different attitude towards me.

‘Chief Lakhe! ‘Isn’t Malak feeling uncomfortable too?’

‘Malak, is what Canto said correct?’

– It doesn’t matter as long as I can get the blessing quickly.

Oh, I should have said that right then. I did Oba because I wanted to get stronger quickly.

‘Did you hear? It’s a waste of time like this. ‘Come after me with the warriors.’

As soon as I got off my feet, Lakhe took off coolly.

Although I met her for the first time today, I knew very well that the position of chieftain was not suitable for this woman.

Definitely not the leader type.

“It will arrive soon. Let’s speed it up further. Newly awakened one, please tell me if you find it difficult to bear.”

Do you want to say it? It’s embarrassing.

Lake, who was running with his paladin’s cloak waving, stopped in front of the village.

The buildings are neatly maintained so that it doesn’t look like a village occupied by demons from a destroyed world.

It must all be disguise. When you enter, you will be swarmed with worshipers.

“I’m going to break in.”

Then, with its enormous legs, it jumps like a rabbit and climbs over the wall.

Wouldn’t most blockbuster movies be boring to Lakke, who is always seeing this kind of world?

Lakhe, who succeeded in entering the village without witnesses, quickly hid in a back alley.

The villagers can be seen through Lakhe’s vision. Looking at it this way, he seems like just an ordinary person… They must be devil worshipers.

“As I said before, I will kill only low-level demons first.”

Lakhe said it was inefficient because it took a long time to deal with worshipers.

So, he probably said he would leave the worshipers to Kanto and the warriors who would follow him.

“From now on, I will speak so quietly that they cannot hear.”

Lakhe whispered softly and moved nimbly.

Her keen and wide senses pick up on nearby admirers. He looks like a skilled assassin as he heads to a deserted place as much as possible and searches for the devil’s location.

“Lesser demons usually use the village chief’s house as their base. “I guess it’s because it’s the biggest and widest building.”

Just looking at the house that Lakhe had in mind, it felt like the ‘best house to live in’.

“There is a worshiper on the way, I will quickly kill him and leave.”

Lakhe, who was avoiding the worshiper, encountered a child in a dark place.

It was a girl with pale skin.

“mom… ?”

A girl looking at Lakhe, rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up. In one hand, he was holding a small teddy bear.

“mom? “I’ve never even met a man, let alone gotten married?”

Lakhe chuckled and quickly walked up to the girl and snapped her neck.

Wood-duk-!

A girl twisting with a terrible sound.

Lakhe stomped on the girl’s head before she could scream.

Kwajik!

Green blood spreading on the floor.

– hmm…

I closed my eyes without realizing it.

No matter how much of a worshiper he was, it was such a cruel sight.

“Malak, you said you have never seen a worshiper in person.”

Lakhe must have heard the noise I made and spoke to me in a soft tone. She is a quick-witted woman.

– … Yes.

“These are not humans. These are toys that have had their ego taken away by the devil, leaving nothing but empty shells. What you just said to me is just a repetition of what I said in my lifetime to distract you. “Killing is mercy.”

– Know.

I knew, but I didn’t know he looked like such an ordinary person.

– I’m just surprised for a moment, so don’t worry too much. You did what you had to do.

“I’m glad you said that. “I was worried that you might start to hate me.”

… Honestly, I’m a little scared of you.

Still, this world was destroyed by the devil. It is also a world where children play and throw axes.

It’s inevitable that you’ll do something that looks terrible.

Lakhe, who will protect me and earn me points, is a reliable ally, not someone I should hate.

“Now we are there.”

Lakhe carefully took out the weapon on his back.

It was a curved sword that was about halfway in size between a long sword and a short sword.
