Chapter 147. MeleeSpy Attack Squad (1)

[SamuraiJackson: Hey, fallen power friend! You’re going in too deep. Pull back a bit]

ㄴ [FallenPowerKnight: Ah, sorry. It’s my first time fighting in coordination with others]

ㄴ [SamuraiJackson: Good Lord, there are too many of them]

ㄴ [FallenPowerKnight: Yeah. Just looking at them makes me tired]

ㄴ [ITrustedMonkeyUncle: Don’t you guys know how to use private messages? (genuinely asking)]

ㄴ [FallenPowerKnight: The voice recognition feature recorded all our conversations]

‘Good Lord.’ It’s been a while since I heard that expression.

Come to think of it, Jackson was Catholic. He was born into the faith, so he had some resistance to serving Malak.

I didn’t hear it directly from Jackson; Dina tipped me off in a private message. Apparently, there was a small conflict when he joined the tribal alliance, but somehow they persuaded him to become a believer.

I found it a bit strange. Having a religion despite being dragged to a place like this because of someone claiming to be a god.

If it were me, I would have become a non-believer, asking, “While other gods are causing such havoc, what are you doing?”

Is it learned faith, or is it in the realm of conviction? Either way, I decided to respect it.

Well, I don’t mind if he doesn’t truly believe in me. As soon as he says he’ll become my believer, he can receive my blessing.

Given the circumstances, I can only hope for understanding.

[BasementFirstLine: They keep coming endlessly. Like a swarm of insects]

[SamuraiJackson: Friends below level 7, fall back. One wrong move and you’re done for]

[Ppooppooppoong: There are too many mid-level demons]

ㄴ [PrincessDina: I’m heading your way.]

[PetiteNoah: The Great Chief says we should form a defensive formation!]

ㄴ [NotACatfish: I’m not confident in defense]

[ITrustedMonkeyUncle: Two catapults destroyed! Flying demons are dropping mindless walking demons!]

Hmm. I was fighting the dark cloud, so I didn’t realize they were engaged in such an intense battle behind me.

Still, I think I did everything I could. If I had spent more mental energy killing those minion demons, I might not have been able to finish off the dark cloud demon.

It’s not like I completely ignored them. At least I dealt with all the ones I saw with my flying escape technique.

[ITrustedMonkeyUncle: A female mage is preparing a big spell! Looks like an area attack!]

ㄴ [PetiteNoah: It’s Luna!]

[PrincessDina: I’m going to use Celestial Light.]

[Ppooppooppoong: The dark cloud demon exploded! Watch out for the aftermath!]

[NotACatfish: Did it self-destruct?]

[FallenPowerKnight: The ground is shaking OMG]

[MorningTentSetupKnight: Tore! It! Apart!]

[ITrustedMonkeyUncle: Ha yaspass]

[MorningTentSetupKnight: Malak tore apart the dark cloud!]

[PetiteNoah: Wow…!]

So this is when I defeated the dark cloud demon.

[NotACatfish: The demon bastards are freezing up. Push forward!]

[Ppooppooppoong: Don’t let your guard down! We need to kill all of these to finish this!]

[ITrustedMonkeyUncle: Wooooooooooooooow! We won!]

Just looking at the chat, or rather comments, I can picture the situation. Everyone fought hard and we won.

[PrincessDina: Good job everyone.]

ㄴ [ITrustedMonkeyUncle: Congrats on level 9 Congratz]

Dina reached level 9. I wonder what skills she has at level 9. I’ll ask her later.

[Ppooppooppoong: My leg got bitten. Does anyone know healing skills?]

[NotACatfish: Niki is badly injured]

ㄴ [FallenPowerKnight: The Bella sisters? Oh no…]

[ITrustedMonkeyUncle: My right hand hasn’t been moving for a while]

ㄴ [BasementFirstLine: How did that happen when you were in the rear?]

Fortunately, no possessed players died. Maybe because the low-level paladins were at the rear and high-level paladins were at the front.

Still, there must have been quite a few native warrior casualties. When I return to the totem, I’ll honor and mourn their bravery. They fought for me and for the salvation of the earth, so they deserve at least that much respect.

Siwoo uploaded photos of the subjugation to the community. I didn’t see them all at once; I searched for them myself and collected them.

At that time, I was so tense and focused on the dark cloud demon that I couldn’t see the whole battle situation. I thought I should at least look at the photos, so I checked the posts.

The first post showed the dark cloud demon approaching Bluetan. Even in photos, the sight of demons swarming like locusts along with the dark cloud was overwhelming.

The second one is a photo of me manifesting as True Malak. With a holy and solemn aura, anyone would see me as a divine being.

…Actually, it was a bit underwhelming since only my back was visible. It just looked like the rear end of a giant monster. But whatever. My scales were gleaming with light.

The third was a collection of photos of the tribal alliance fighting demons, but the images were so shaky it was hard to make out what was what.

The fourth is a photo of Malak beating up the dark cloud. This one turned out well. It captured the moment I used “Totem of Confusion” to subdue the dark cloud demon. Good timing.

As evident from the dozens of comments, the community’s response was enthusiastic.

[Ghooulr: Wow!!! What’s that blue dragon!!!]

[DinosaurPunch: Could that dark cloud actually be killed?]

[ITrustedMonkeyUncle: Live footage of paladins… screaming while embracing barbarians]

[LuluTV: Sorry for cursing before, I’ll worship you from now on THE GOAT Lord Malak]

[OhDoManlyMan: Ah! The warm steamed dark cloud meat made by the Yellow Dragon, no, Blue Dragon Air Force!]

[Bramanda: Can we… go home now?]

[MalJukStreetSergeant: Ah, so that’s what you look like in person. I think I can make a perfect totem now.]

Even now, praise posts for Malak and the tribal alliance are still being uploaded.

Even those who used to criticize the tribal alliance and Malak have changed their stance, so the impact is undeniable.

I’ve received quite a few private messages too. Most were from users who had joined the tribal alliance. Quite a few users have said they want to join the tribal alliance.

While I was thinking about how to respond, a new post appeared on the community.

[OneSlice: It’s too early to feel safe

Near the capital. Dragon-like creatures are gathering.

Each one looks like a high-level demon. I took these photos and went back home because it was dangerous]

The photos uploaded by a user called “OneSlice” were terrifying enough to make even me tense.

In the first photo, dozens of building-sized dragons were circling the sky of what appeared to be the capital city. It was night, so the surroundings were dark and only their silhouettes were visible, which made them look even more terrifying.

In previous photos this user uploaded, the capital was a very gloomy, quiet, and desolate place.

It had a post-apocalyptic feel, or rather an “after the end of humanity” vibe, with black vines wrapping around buildings, but now it’s different.

All buildings were lit up, and what looked like a plaza was filled with demons. They were looking up at the dragon demons flying in the sky with their distinctive green glowing eyes.

The second photo was no less intimidating.

The silhouette of a monster, larger than any building in the capital, was extending its seven long heads toward the sky and roaring.

That’s it. That’s the seven-headed dragon demon.

To end this apocalypse, we need to defeat that monster and kill the evil god Shamishur who maintains the dimensional gate.

[OneSlice: Everyone be careful

The seven-headed demon has been howling continuously, seems like it’s sending some kind of magical signal.

I’m hiding underground right now. The ground keeps shaking. All the demons and demon worshippers living nearby are heading toward the capital after hearing the signal.

If you live near the capital, don’t come out trying to join the tribal alliance, just stay inside. If you’re detected while moving, it’s over]

They’re preparing for an all-out war. I guess I can’t even take a short break now.

I sent private messages to Noah and Siwoo asking about the current situation of the tribal alliance.

[Lord Malak is currently resting in another dimension and cannot descend. But as his messenger, I can communicate with him, so please send me some information]

Everyone seemed to accept this explanation.

[MorningTentSetupKnight: Is Loa’s messenger a hidden piece?]

[MorningTentSetupKnight: Or is it a hidden class?]

[Yes]

Let’s go with that.

[MorningTentSetupKnight: I should have gotten that instead]

While I was receiving reports:

[MeleeSpy: Thinking about it, I think I wanted to be a hero]
