Chapter 184. I’m the Only Totem in Another World (3)
– Prepare for war.
I mobilized the leadership to prepare for the final battle.
We decided not to wait for Charon to come to our headquarters, but to go to the capital before he could fully harness the evil god’s power.
With superhumans capable of destroying cities single-handedly involved in this war, it would likely end within a day at most, but we prepared ample supplies just in case.
We quickly assigned everyone their roles.
“I, Kanto! Though it’s regrettable that I cannot fight by Malak’s side like Guardian Lakye, that cannot be helped! I will crush the enemy alongside the greatest warriors on earth!”
“Victory is just one step away. We’ll fight to the very end.”
Chief Kanto and his deputy Isaac would lead the regular warriors and soldiers.
“I want to help even in this way. I will perform perfectly.”
Rachel would lead the supply unit.
“Charon… I’ll make you drown in your delusions.”
“More nonsense.”
MeleeSpy and Ghoulre would lead the melee infiltration team.
“Four paladins above level 7… I’ll do my best.”
“I’ll make sure those monkey-like fellows don’t escape.”
Princess Dina and the Fallen Power Knight would lead the possessed ones, including Dina’s special forces (only three remained now…).
“Tteontteoni will watch everything with eagle eyes, no, pigeon eyes!”
[LoveDeathNyan: Nyan nyan~! (I’ll help with reconnaissance, but what I do best is hunting demons! Don’t worry, I’ll make proper judgments!)]
Aerial reconnaissance was assigned to Paya, and support to LoveDeathNyan.
“If anything happens at headquarters, I’ll contact you immediately.”
The Holy Maiden, Muri, along with the barbarian chief and several priests, were tasked with guarding the headquarters.
“I will hide in covert locations and target the enemy.”
Luna decided to move with the sniper unit. I gave her one of the mini totems newly created by Muri to help with magic wand firing.
It’s a disposable totem that breaks after using blessings a few times.
“This old man will burn his last fighting spirit.”
Despite lounging in bed for days, Grandpa Harry spoke solemnly, planning to stand at the very front with the giant god.
“Charon, I will cut off that apostate’s head and present it to Lord Malak.”
Lakye, as always, planned to hunt high-ranking demons or comparable enemies. He could be considered a big game hunter.
As for me, I plan to move between totems and directly intervene with divine manifestation when the evil god or Charon goes wild.
– Do not be too afraid. I will lead you to victory.
Though the capital boasts an ironclad defense, they have few advantages while we have many.
Namely, asymmetric warfare capabilities. The strongest in Charon’s forces are just a few high-ranking demons, the evil god, controlled paladins, and himself.
But what about our side?
The demigod Lakye. Harry and the giant god. Chief Kanto. Paya and Tteontteoni. Asha zombie.
MeleeSpy. Dina. Hannah. Samurai Jackson. Fallen Power Knight. Ghoulre.
The newly joined LoveDeathNyan and Unicorn.
And finally, me, the strongest tyrant.
We have thirteen level 7 or higher paladins or equivalently powerful fighters. Though defense typically has the advantage in war, with such asymmetric capabilities, we should be fine.
Of course, I’m not being careless. He must have several trump cards hidden as well.
I reviewed the blessing I received as a reward for leaving the spirit realm once more. It would be a great help at crucial moments.
While everyone was busy moving about, a post appeared on the community. It had a title that showed no intention of hiding anything anymore.
[MeleeSpy: The Final Chapter of the Rebel Hero EunuchBro
# Flashback
EunuchBro: “Why don’t living beings treat each other equally?”
???: “EunuchBro, you ask your lover such strange questions~ That’s probably… because of the ugly human nature. That’s what I think.”
EunuchBro: “Then how… can everyone be happy?”
???: “It’s ‘goodwill.’ Shouldn’t you always pursue that?”
(??? fades away into darkness)
EunuchBro: “What does that mean!!! Where are you going!!! Hey!!! Wait!!!”
# End of Flashback
EunuchBro: “Damn… I finally understand… you fool…”
DarkDarkness: “Hey hey, have you finally lost your mind ww DeathOdin! Take care of him!”
DeathOdin: “Kiyathou-!”
EunuchBro: (The way for everyone to be happy… it is…!!! Nothing other than – !!! Giving freedom to all living beings – !!!)
bgm: (Slashed DarkDarkness’s dimensional gate) Clang – !
DarkDarkness: “…Eh? Huh??? Why!!! You!!! How dare you release all the vengeful spirits stored in my dimensional gate!!!
Damn!!! My power!!! Damn!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!! No!!!”
EunuchBro: “…. This is the end for you-. With this, your magical power is gone-. And you too… will vanish.”
DarkDarkness: “??? No!!! I don’t want to die, damn it!!! I wasn’t trying to use you!!! Argghhhhh!!! My magic!!! It’s draining away!!! (Turns to dust and disappears)”
EunuchBro: “… Is it finally over…”
(All the liberated vengeful spirits returned to being human. And among them, ‘she’ stood with her eyes closed.)
???=’She’: (Has a red rabbit tattoo on her navel) “… You kept your promise. To make all living beings happy.”
EunuchBro: “… I’ll never leave you again…”
# Afterword
Yes, that’s right! It’s the final chapter you might have suspected! (laughs)
Wow~ Unexpected praise, unexpected popularity, I never initially planned to make a final chapter.
I completely went with the feeling of “Woooah! Charge toward the conclusion!” and made it grand. If I didn’t finish it somehow, I would surely become a ghost haunting this community!
For that reason, the later parts had massive volume! Chaotic development! I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks to your love, I was able to successfully conclude EunuchBro’s story. I’m absolutely grateful to the readers.
Thanks to you all, I might write another work with a “Woooah!” (laughs)]
Real nonsense… No, I’m tired of getting angry.
This guy MeleeSpy, after all that worrying, he ended up with a happy ending. I guess this is the best conclusion he decided on after days of contemplation.
…Conclusion. I’ve thought about conclusions too.
It was when I met Hannah and Dina’s special forces at Martba, where I arrived to stop Asha. Dina asked me then if I planned to rebuild this world.
I gave a vague answer, saying I would keep my promise of victory and glory to my believers.
I pondered briefly that night. What I would do if I remained in this world even after closing the dimensional gate.
Ridiculously, I recalled the isekai hero stories I enjoyed watching.
Defeating the demon lord, feeling satisfaction while looking at the world I protected and the people I saved. A cliché pattern.
Funny enough, I thought this was the best ending.
I believed that a hero who worked hard deserved at least that small happiness, and I hoped for such an ending myself.
– …
Ah, there’s one more thing to do.
I clicked on the message window and entered ‘Send message to myself.’
It’s a space only I can see, and also a channel to communicate with the real Malak who’s somewhere in my unconscious after handing over control to me.
I wrote down my resolve, determination, and what I thought was important.
You could call it a will. I hope things go well, but they might not.
“All preparations are complete!”
Kanto approached on horseback.
– Let’s depart.
I immediately gave the order to march. Now it’s truly the final war.
However it ends, I will definitely save this world.
Reaffirming my determination, I watched as the gates opened.
***
“Halt!”
Kanto’s voice boomed loudly.
Our allied forces arrived at the capital after marching without a single interruption.
“Strange. What are they plotting?”
MeleeSpy, who had stopped several times during our journey to search here and there for traps, clicked his tongue.
I also expected interference or ambushes, but there were none.
We came here almost with a free pass. Even the magic circle surrounding the capital had disappeared.
“Maybe they’re concentrating all their forces on defending the capital?”
Dina, who had just returned from scouting the surroundings using her ‘Heavenly Wings’ skill, suggested. Given that Charon’s forces had less combat power than us, that made sense.
“The magical energy is dense. The smell of corruption, decay, and decline…. I sense the presence of the evil god and the dimensional gate.”
Lakye glared at the tightly closed gates of the capital.
– Let’s wait until the giant god arrives.
Harry departed later than us because he was busy pouring large amounts of divine magic stones into the giant god’s magic stone supply device.
The moment Harry knocks on the city gate will mark the beginning of the war. While everyone was staring tensely at the capital, Lakye spoke.
“Lord Malak.”
His voice was so quiet that only I could hear.
“When all this is over, there’s something I want to ask you.”
– Hmm.
Lakye… that’s a death flag. Can’t you take that back?
