Chapter 101

 

* * *

 

The battle with the magical beasts that began in broad daylight showed no signs of ending even as the sunset approached.

 

Moreover, Enoch and Kaiden were surrounded with their backs to the river, with nowhere left to retreat. Their fighting spirit had also been dampened due to injuries sustained here and there.

 

Kaiden glanced at Enoch, who was covered in blood, and bit his lower lip with an anxious expression.

 

“Are you alright, Your Highness?”

 

Enoch immediately understood what Kaiden meant by that question. It was an inquiry filled with concern about whether he might show seizure symptoms and go on a rampage.

 

“I’m fine.”

 

Enoch answered while roughly wiping away the blood splattered on his chin with the back of his hand.

 

“I can control it.”

 

He could do it. No, to be precise, he had to do it.

 

This was an urgent situation where Margaret’s life or death hadn’t even been confirmed.

 

Besides, what happened after he intentionally went on a rampage for the last monster extermination? Hadn’t she almost gotten hurt? So until he could confirm that Margaret was safe, he couldn’t afford to lose his reason.

 

He absolutely had to overcome this. Nothing could be solved by drowning in self-loathing and losing his grip on sanity.

 

He tightened his grip on his sword. As a result, red and blue veins stood out on his trembling hand.

 

The magical beasts surrounding them had bizarre appearances unlike any they had seen before. They were on a different level from the magical beasts they had encountered on the South Island.

 

One of them broke through its pack and rushed forward quickly. It was a bizarre magical beast in the form of a fish with legs.

 

Kyaak!

 

It leaped toward Kaiden and opened its massive mouth.

 

Seeing the sharp, densely packed teeth, Kaiden turned half a circle and passed the attack opportunity to Enoch, who was back-to-back with him. Enoch immediately thrust his long sword upward from beneath the fish’s snout.

 

Starting with the fish magical beast’s attack, the magical beasts that had been watching for an opportunity rushed at them once again.

 

Kwaaaaak!

 

Kaaaak!

 

The sunset had passed and deep night had arrived, but the battle showed no signs of ending. This was because they were surrounded and magical beasts kept swarming toward them.

 

“Damn it, it’s embarrassing, but how about we just escape?”

 

Kaiden said while panting heavily.

 

Enoch, who was pointing his sword at the magical beasts while covered in blood, let out a weary breath. Then he calmly surveyed the magical beasts and frowned.

 

“That would be best.”

 

However, the number of magical beasts surrounding them was considerable. It seemed difficult to even find a chance to escape. The situation continued to not flow as they hoped.

 

At that moment, Enoch couldn’t help but worry. If things continued like this, they might really die. Without even finding Margaret.

 

“Damn bastards! I can’t even see a way out.”

 

Kaiden shouted in a voice full of irritation. Enoch looked at Kaiden after easily cutting down another charging magical beast with an eerily expressionless face.

 

Then, for just a brief moment, his tension relaxed. In that instant, Enoch’s vision caught sight of Kaiden wiping blood from his forehead. Enoch immediately entered a seizure state.

 

“Damn it! I guess we should attack just one side to break through… Your Highness?!”

 

Kaiden’s shouting voice became distantly faint.

 

Enoch’s ears were filled only with the sound of his own massive heartbeat and hot breathing.

 

Haa, sseup, haa.

 

His vision was blood-red. Enoch could see nothing but the blood-red color that stained everything like a hallucination.

 

The turbulent emotions gradually subsided and became calm. He felt like he was gradually losing control over himself.

 

Just as he was helplessly dominated by unconsciousness, his awareness of who he was becoming dim and about to disappear beneath the surface.

 

‘Don’t think about protecting me and worry about yourself first. Without me, you wouldn’t last a day on this island.’

 

‘Stop saying you’re sorry. I know it’s not your fault.’

 

A clear and refreshing woman’s voice lingered in his ears.

 

‘Enoch. I want to live. I hope you survive too. I mean this sincerely.’

 

It was Margaret’s voice.

 

The moment he recalled her face, Enoch’s vision that had been entirely blood-red slowly began to return to its original colors.

 

He had to control it.

 

If he went on a rampage, he might be able to kill all the magical beasts, but it would only distance him further from truly overcoming his trauma.

 

If that happened, he might be able to preserve his life from immediate danger, but someday Margaret could be threatened because of it.

 

Such a thing must not happen.

 

He would rather be torn apart and killed by magical beasts while thinking of Margaret with his sanity intact.

 

His focus sharpened clearly and his hazy mind returned.

 

He could tell by feeling. Now it was possible to control the rampage. Perfectly.

 

As soon as Enoch fully regained his senses, what he discovered was the scene of two magical beasts that had cornered Kaiden to the edge of the riverside charging toward him.

 

Enoch immediately ran toward him. He quickly cut down one of the charging magical beasts with his sword and roughly pushed Kaiden away.

 

At that moment, the other magical beast that had been charging toward Kaiden bit Enoch’s shoulder.

 

“Damn it! Your Highness!”

 

With Kaiden’s death-like scream as the finale, Enoch flew away with the magical beast and tumbled into the river.

 

He crashed deep into the river along with the magical beast. But he didn’t give up and grabbed the beast’s scruff while thrusting his sword into its body.

 

Enoch threw aside the dead magical beast and immediately swam up toward the water’s surface. Through the rippling surface, he could see fierce flames sweeping violently.

 

Puha.

 

As soon as he stuck his face above the surface, he saw massive flames erupting across the dark sky.

 

Hwaaaaaaak-

 

The flames that shot high into the sky swept past the magical beasts surrounding Kaiden in front of the riverside.

 

Kwaaaaak!

 

The screams of magical beasts writhing in pain filled the air. Kaiden briefly covered his ears against the eardrum-splitting noise and surveyed his surroundings.

 

Meanwhile, Enoch walked out of the riverside with a large wound on his shoulder, blood dripping steadily.

 

“XX, you’re safe. I knew you would be, but sometimes Your Highness seems scarier than those magical beasts?”

 

Kaiden said, stroking his chest in relief upon spotting him.

 

Enoch shook the water off his sword once, then nodded toward Kaiden. Thanks to the flames, a gap had opened between the magical beasts.

 

“Lord, this way.”

 

As Kaiden and Enoch escaped through the gap, they could see a silver snake breathing fire from a distance.

 

“I knew it would be you. Hey, Eun-ji.”

 

When Kaiden called to him, the snake somehow recognized his own name and glanced at them sideways.

 

The reason he only glanced sideways was because the task of burning the magical beasts to death wasn’t finished yet.

 

Croak!

 

However, there were so many magical beasts that Eun-ji alone couldn’t kill them all.

 

Enoch and Kaiden eventually ran toward Eun-ji. Eun-ji, who looked up at the two men running toward him, closed his mouth and tilted his head. Because of that, the fire breath stopped.

 

Kaiden immediately scooped up the confused Eun-ji and ran alongside Enoch.

 

Caaak! Croak!

 

Behind them, they could hear the magical beasts shrieking and chasing after them.

 

Kaiden ran while holding Eun-ji, then quietly looked down at the little guy.

 

“Where did you go?”

 

Even at his question, Eun-ji just blinked his eyes and stayed nestled in his arms as if he didn’t understand.

 

Looking at that innocent face, Kaiden clicked his tongue. Since he couldn’t know what the guy wanted without Margaret in the first place, he quickly gave up on communication.

 

“Lord, wait.”

 

While they were running and breathing heavily, Enoch blocked Kaiden’s path.

 

It was a dead end. The shrieks of the magical beasts behind them were gradually getting closer.

 

“Damn it.”

 

While Kaiden was muttering curses, Eun-ji crawled down his arm and dropped to the floor with a thud.

 

“Huh? Hey!”

 

Kaiden reached out in surprise. Eun-ji paid no attention and crawled somewhere, then turned his head toward them. Enoch, who had been quietly watching Eun-ji, spoke.

 

“It seems like he’s telling us to follow.”

 

Only then did Kaiden remember the fact that Eun-ji had imprinted on Margaret.

 

“Ah. Come to think of it, that guy was the one who followed Margaret around even before hatching.”

 

Since he had followed her around like a ghost even when he was an egg, he would probably know where she was even if they were far apart.

 

Enoch nodded toward Kaiden again while looking at the approaching magical beasts.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

At Enoch’s words, Kaiden readjusted his grip on the dagger he was holding and nodded.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

They moved following Eun-ji like that.

 

* * *

 

I have no idea what kind of magical beast is wrapped around my waist.

 

It had a long trunk like an elephant, but I couldn’t see its eyes, only sharp teeth flickering in my vision.

 

I was hanging upside down from the third floor, unable to move. Jenas, who was leaning out of the third floor window, spoke to me.

 

“Oh right, there was a saint among Meg’s group.”

 

“Fuck, what?”

 

“You curse well.”

 

Jenas burst into laughter. Is this funny?

 

“Watch carefully.”

 

“Speak so I can understand! And untie this!”

 

“I’m only borrowing the Eyes of Magical Beasts, not controlling them. They just like you.”

 

Jenas shrugged as he spoke. The magical beast didn’t move. I was still hanging upside down in the air by the magical beast as I shouted at Jenas.

 

“Why does the magical beast like me?”

 

“Meg must smell delicious. Different from other people.”

 

So they think of me as a delicacy after all! I clutched my head. Damn it.

 

Jenas leaned against the window with a face that suggested he was skipping any further explanation, watching me like I was entertainment.

 

“What did you mean by telling me to keep a close eye on the saint?”

 

“Well, that saint seems to know something.”

 

“What?”

 

“Ask her directly. I’m curious too.”

 

Damn bastard!
