Chapter 92

I hurried down from Enoch’s arms, pointed the flare gun at the two orangutans running down the hill, and pulled the trigger.

-blast! bang!

The two orangutans exploded with a somewhat terrifying sound.

I grabbed my stomach for a moment and bowed down. It’s really hard to move when the ribs are broken. But now that I’m able to move, it doesn’t seem like a serious injury.

When I looked up again, I saw Kayden fighting three orangutans on the hill.

‘But where did Eunji go?’

I couldn’t see Eunji, who was wrapped around my forearm.

While looking around in a hurry to find Eunji, I looked up in surprise when I saw a fire soaring on the hill.

Eunji on Kayden’s shoulder was spitting fire at the orangutan monsters.

Although he is a baby anaconda with no facial expression, it seems like he is furious.

‘Does that kid have a lot of energy too?’

Ruzef, who was watching from the top of the hill, rushed to me with a first aid kit.

“Margaret, are you all right?” Enoch supported me and asked.

“What about you, Enoch? The other wolf monsters……”

At that moment, I found the corpses of wolf monsters piled up like a mountain in the vacant lot. I also saw Diego checking it to see if there were any living ones.

“Young Lady Floné, are you okay?” Ruzef examined my complexion.

“I don’t know. Since I can move, I don’t think it’s a fracture…… I think my ribs are cracked. It would be good to wear an abdominal binder, but I can’t get it here. I’m in trouble.”

Then Yuanna came down from the tree and ran with Arthdal toward me.

“Young Lady Floné, are you okay?”

“Young Lady, are you okay?”

I was shocked to see no one running toward Kayden.

“Can you guys help him over there? Why are you all here?”

Then everyone’s eyes turned to Kayden, who was struggling with two orangutans on the hill at the same time.

“Lord Kayden is…… he will be fine.”

“Right. He will be fine.”

“Don’t worry. Didn’t he say with his own mouth that he is the greatest wizard?”

Arthdal, Yuanna, and Ruzef answered in turn.

At the same time, Kayden lifted an orangutan twice the size of the one who punched me and slammed it down.

-koong!

Once again, everyone’s eyes turned to Kayden.

“See?”

“He’s doing great.”

“There’s nothing to worry about him.”

This time, Arthdal, Yuanna, and Ruzef spoke one after another. Enoch was busy examining my condition as if he had no interest in anything else.

‘Kayden…… are you being ostracized?’

Ruzef asked me, “By the way, Young Lady, what’s an abdominal binder?”

“It’s like a belt that you put around your stomach to fix your waist. Instead of a thin fabric, I need a slightly hard thick one……”

Hearing my words, Enoch suddenly took off his jacket and tore the hem of it. It was surprising that his thick jacket was torn by hand, but he had no hesitation in tearing up the precious crown prince uniform.

He quickly wrapped it around my waist and pinned it down with a safety pin from the first aid kit.

“Are you okay now?”

I nodded at Enoch’s friendly question. Then he smiled and stroked my head. When I am with Enoch, I feel like I am being cared for.

“Don’t you need painkillers?” Ruzef, who was sitting still and watching the situation, asked me.

I shook my head. “I’m fine. I can stand it.”

“If it’s a bone crack, there’s no medicine. It would be great if I could use my divine power, but for now, I can only hope that your bones will repair themselves while you take a rest.”

If I go to a modern hospital, the doctor will probably say the same thing. I nodded my head at Ruzef’s words.

-kwaaak!

-kooong!

The terrifying screams of monsters could be heard.

Kayden with one hand in his pants pocket climbed on top of the orangutan monster he had defeated and let out a tired sigh.

Eunji wrapped around Kayden’s neck and climbed over his head, breathing fire with excitement.

“Isn’t that Young Lady’s pet snake?” Ruzef asked me with a puzzled face.

“To be precise, it’s not just a snake or a pet, it’s an anaconda monster,” I answered firmly.

Eunji, who made eye contact with me later, slithered down the hill and snooped in front of me.

I reached out to him. Then he naturally wrapped around my forearm and slithered up, rubbing his face and acting cute as if asking for a compliment.

“Good job.”

As I gently stroked Eunji’s scales, Kayden’s energetic voice rang out.

“Margaret! Pat me too!”

Kayden ran down the hill. Of course, he was soon blocked by Enoch.

“I think we should move quickly. Have you all packed your things?”

Enoch pushed Kayden away and looked around with an expressionless, calm face.

While Kayden was pouring abuse on Enoch, he steadily carried the backpack he had put down in front of the cabin. Others were carrying their own luggage as well.

“Let’s go,” said Enoch when things seemed to be in order.

Together we left the cabin and headed for the North Island.

Yuanna asked, “Are we going to get supplies first, or are we going to the star-marked place first?”

“On our way to the northwestern tip of the North Island, we will pass the area where the supplies are. After securing the supplies first, we will head to the star-marked place,” Arthdal replied.

Come to think of it, I didn’t get to ask about the destination because I was too busy, but it seems that Arthdal and Enoch have already talked about it and even finished setting it up.

‘Have you guys discussed it? I knew it.’

As expected, they are more of the leader type than I am.

I also thought about going to the North Island. For now, I’ll follow along calmly and find out the location of the bunker once more later.

We were passing through the mangrove forest. Looking at the mangrove trees with exotic shapes, I once again realized that this is a strange island.

While walking quietly along the side of the river, I glanced at the mangrove trees with their grotesque roots above the river.

Enoch, who was walking in front of me, suddenly spoke, “I don’t know where the hell those monsters come from on such a large scale.”

“The wolf monsters aren’t even monsters that live here. It’s strange to see orangutans joining together as if they were united. I thought the tarantula monsters would come in droves too,” I said in response to Enoch’s words.

If a monster were to attack, I thought it would be the tarantula one. This is also the area where the tarantula monsters are inhabited, and they might appear after smelling the remains of their dead kind.

However, contrary to expectations, it was the wolf and orangutan monsters.

‘As if they came to a predetermined coordinate point.’

As if someone had really manipulated them to attack the cabin.

“Thanks to that, I learned that there is no safe zone on this island, isn’t it a relief? I won’t let my guard down from now on, I won’t get caught in the middle of being careless,” said Ruzef.

That’s true, but somehow it made me sad. That means you should always be on your toes now.

Then Enoch turned to me and thanked me. “Also, Margaret, thanks to you, I could use a magic-based sword now. I didn’t know it was possible to inject mana from a long distance.”

Yuanna, who was following from the back, added, “I saw it too. You used a lot of mana, didn’t you? Is it possible to transmit mana to others over long distances?”

“What is the true identity of Young Lady Floné? Lord, tell me. Is that possible?”

Arthdal ​​looked at us and asked Kayden, who was standing right behind me.

“It’s difficult but is not impossible. Apart from me, even skilled wizards find it hard to handle it.”

At Kayden’s words, I shrugged, raising my hands in a somewhat exaggerated motion.

“I’ve been covered by the title of a maniac, but actually, I’m a great person.”

Everyone says I’m amazing, so I can enjoy this much compliment, right?

“I can’t help but lament that you neglected your great talent to chase the Crown Prince,” said Arthdal, then he turned around and began to move forward again.

“It’s not in vain that you like me, Margaret.” Enoch suddenly interrupted.

Kayden behind me whispered, “Margaret, I think it’s vain.”

I sighed, pretended not to hear it, and followed Enoch.

I almost got killed by a monster a while ago, but now it feels peaceful as if it never happened.

I hope we can continue to get through the upcoming troubles and get off the island safely.

……of course, such hopes do not come true.

***

‘Isn’t it just a bruise, not a crack?’

The pain in the injured area subsided faster than expected. That’s a relief. I don’t know what it would be like if I got seriously injured in this wild.

Due to my condition, I took breaks from time to time, so it took four days to get to the bridge leading to the North Island.

We finally stopped in front of the suspension bridge heading to the North Island and were quite bewildered to see it.

It was because the suspension bridge Yuanna spoke of was so old that it wouldn’t be strange if it collapsed immediately.
