Episode 90. Dark Elixir (2)
– … Someone?
She gave her shoes to her. The view changes from the altar where Totem No. 1 Is located to a dark place.
It was so dark that you couldn’t see an inch in front of you.
The person who can give down God means he is a barbarian priest… It bothers me that it’s a voice I’ve never heard before.
Last time, I sent a letter to all the barbarian tribes shown on the map through Tuntun. All tribes that were still alive were contacted.
Were there tribes that were not marked on the map or were living outside of that location?
“I am Asha, the daughter of Doz and Sharon and the priest of the Black Coral Tribe.”
This is an unknown tribe. I’ve never heard of it before.
“I’m nervous because it’s my first time talking to Loa in person. “I never thought he would really descend to earth.”
And this is your first time talking ‘in person’?
– Priest Asha, nice to meet you. What’s going on?
Normally, I would have said something like, ‘I created a tribal alliance in Symphonia, so come if you can.’
The reason I didn’t do that was because I thought she was suspicious.
It is not unusual to be in a place so dark that you cannot even see the outline of your body. Even now, I can only hear your voice.
“You are wary of me. I understand.”
Did you understand my intention? The woman who called herself Asha laughed lowly.
The voice seems to have a bit of a metallic sound mixed in… Is it my imagination?
“You might think it’s suspicious. The priest of a tribe I had never heard of before, and he was nowhere to be seen… “Could you please give me a chance to clear up any misunderstandings?”
– Speak.
After taking a moment to catch her breath, Asha continued her words.
“Our tribe is not a tribe that lives on land. They are called the Sea People. “We serve the Loa just like other peoples.”
– The sea people.
I have heard of it. You said that there are tribes who are active in the sea, although they do not communicate due to various problems.
I haven’t heard anything good about it. Paya despises them, saying they make a living through plunder.
They are called pirates by civilized people and are shunned even among barbarians.
“It was a year ago. Loa Tuga came to me. “He appeared in my dream and showed me many scenes.”
Fighting. It is a loa in the shape of a blue crab, and is mainly worshiped by the sea peoples.
… A bad feeling comes to mind. I couldn’t get the words out easily.
– I see.
First, let’s keep listening.

“Of course, you didn’t tell us much and only showed us vaguely. “That’s what God’s prophecy is.”
This is how I interpreted it, Asha continued.
“He prophesied that Malak would descend to earth. I will bestow a blessing on him, which means that he will follow Malak and save the earth.”
I heard a voice saying, “That’s it.” It is the sound of something sharp scratching something soft.
I don’t know what it was, but it wasn’t a sound that a human could make.
Ha.
I held back the sigh that was about to come out reflexively. Bad premonitions do not go astray.
– … What kind of blessing was it?
A situation in which blessings or physical force cannot be used. Even though I knew, I had no choice but to ask.
“Tuga gave us the blessing of changing our appearance into a form optimized for battle. Thanks to this, we were able to cross the ocean and reach land.”
That’s it. The floating is over now.
– Where are you guys now?
“It is located in the coastal area of Matva. “It’s been a little over a few months since I arrived.”
This guy… That’s right.
Sea monster cubs.
I checked the status window. A small phrase is written in the corner of the status window.
– Final goal: Keep secret. Defeat the demons and servants of the goddess and assume supremacy over the earth. If your identity is discovered before that day, you will pay a heavy price.
Fighting. That damn crab must be one of the Loa who wrote this.
Jin Malak was right. The loa are not on my side, nor are they gods for the barbarians.
They are nothing more than a group of despicable opportunists who are trying to take advantage of this crisis to seize hegemony on earth.
“The reason I contacted you now is because I have completed some preparations. I would like to know where Malak is. We… “
– Why haven’t you prayed to me until now?
I asked because I was really, really curious.
The thought that I could have stopped these guys from doing this never leaves my head.
“I had to make a lot of preparations. In order to accept Malak, I had to be reborn. As the reconstruction is slowly coming to an end, I contacted Malak… “
– Is Tuga also descending now?
This time, I interrupted Asha and asked.
From the looks of it, I don’t think he even knows that I am not a real fool. In that case, you could say it a little more forcefully.
“…No. However, He sometimes appears in my dreams and gives various oracles. “He instills knowledge that cannot be easily understood through human language.”
You damn bastard. You are very determined to ruin my plans.
It was clear that I acted knowing that if I were to reveal my identity, I would have no choice but to deal with the possessors.
– Why did you do that?
I wanted to ask Asha about this.
“Yes?”
– Didn’t he bring in a high-ranking devil from Quinton and put the Paladins in danger?
Tuga would not have ordered such a plan. It must have been an arbitrary decision.
“Paladins are the second most threatening beings after demons. It continues to grow and become stronger as if there are no limits. “I thought it would be good to keep it in check when the opportunity came.”
– … I could have driven out the devil with them. It would have been a great help in saving the earth.
I spoke while holding back from swearing.
“It is the salvation of the earth… “You think so.”
What?
“Let me ask you just one question. Malak, are you also looking for civilized people?”
– That’s right.
“Why? Why are you saving them?”
– I don’t know why you need a reason. They too can become my believers.
“Then it’s because of power. Malak needs many sacrifices to restore his strength.”
– …
Am I talking to someone right now? This woman is off somewhere.
“Asha and the Black Coral Tribe will help you recover. We alone are enough. There is no need to listen to the prayers of civilized people one by one.”
– That is up to me.
“…I don’t understand.”
That’s what I want to say.
“I don’t understand why the goddess is trying to save her minions, nor is she hostile to the Holy Knights. “Aren’t they all enemies that need to be killed anyway?”
From the beginning, they thought of civilized people as their enemies, which is why dialogue did not work.
I am speechless. What should I do with this?
– … In order to rebuild the earth, we need the help of civilized people.
“It’s reconstruction. Do you want to make it the way it was before? “In the way it was when civilized people ruled?”
Asha’s hatred is felt due to the effect of the exhalation.
She deeply loathed civilized people.
“There is no need for civilized people in the new era. “It could be as good food as it is now.”
… Food?
“Malak, you seem to be lost and wandering. Don’t worry. I will be Malak’s companion. “I will give you advice on what to do next.”
She seemed to interpret my silence as ‘confusion.’
No. I was feeling angry. Tugara’s anger towards Loa and Asha.
“Ah, the new body is almost finished. I’ll be able to see you soon, Malak.”
Asha let out a voice full of joy.
Wrong. I can’t have a normal conversation with this woman. It’s persuasive, it’s naive, and it feels like it’s already happened a long time ago.
The unidentified space where Asha was located vibrates with a thump, thump sound.
“I and the Black Coral Tribe will help Malak manifest. So that we can take on a body on earth. After that, I will become Malak’s bride. We and our children will rule the earth.”
What kind of bullsh*t is this?
Asha was constantly muttering, unable to hide her excitement. It’s like she’s possessed by something.
With a crackling sound, the unidentified space split apart.
The sudden sunlight made me turn my gaze for a moment. I looked ahead thinking things were a little better…
“Tuga! Fight! Fight! Fight!”
“Asha has become his incarnation!”
“We will become the masters of the earth!”
Disgusting monsters half mixed with seafood are screaming loud cheers.
These are the sea monsters that Hannah mentioned.
They were wearing various bones like ornaments. Of course, they were all human bones.
In the center of them was a crab-shaped totem.
Hannah… You said you saw what sea monsters were making. I think I saw them making a Tuga totem.
“Malak, please look at me. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
Asha was neither a human nor a crustacean.
She was over 3 meters tall and had a bizarre appearance that was a mixture of the two races. The visual reminds me of the Bug Queen from a certain sci-fi game.
Did you say it was an incarnation? They are definitely different from demigods.
“I will lead them to Malak’s side. Now, tell me where you are… “
– No.
I resolutely hung up and looked at the size of the guys. About two hundred people.
– Wait there.
After receiving the blessings, I moved my consciousness to Totem No. 3, Which will be with Lakhe.
I also have a reason to defeat them.
It’s not just that I don’t like the monster bride.
