Chapter 35
I lifted the lid of the box with determination, but it rattled and the hinges and latch all fell to the ground together.
Thanks to that, I was able to open the box without any trouble and discovered a pile of bombs inside.
“Good heavens…”
This is crazy. Do these even work?
The small, round bombs looked like grenades at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they weren’t.
There was a safety pin stuck in the top of the shell, but the problem was that unlike regular grenades, there was no safety handle.
※Warning※
Pull pin and throw at target
Explodes on impact
Throw and take cover
Such words were written on the surface of the shell in Langrid Empire language.
This also showed signs of artificial modification, just like the flare I had picked up.
“Is this Alea’s work?”
I tilted my head and closed the box for now, then picked up what was called a flame bomb.
I should go back to the cabin. Since I had come farther than expected, it seemed like the sun was about to set.
I lifted the large box with both hands and quietly returned to the cabin.
More precisely… I tried to return quietly.
I stopped in place, surprised to find that the area around the cabin had become a battlefield.
Kwaaaaang!
A tremendous roar covered the entire sky along the cliff. A giant anaconda crashed into the cliff and collapsed.
I stared blankly at the crumbling cliff while holding the wooden box.
My goodness. What on earth is happening? I’ve never heard of such an episode in the novel.
In front of the cabin, there were about three anaconda-type magical beasts with massive bodies.
“Get out of the way!”
Kwaaaaak!
Enoch and Kaiden were flying around with weapons, fighting the magical beasts, while Luzef was busily moving luggage between them.
I looked up at the sky again. It was the same as when I first encountered the wolf-type magical beasts. The sunset was approaching.
However, the riverside where the anaconda magical beasts were was bright without any obstacles blocking the sky.
‘Damn it, weren’t magical beasts supposed to only appear when it’s dark?!’
The magical beast’s head was large enough to swallow Kaiden in one bite.
Kaiden climbed onto the body of such a magical beast and thrust his spear into its silver scales.
Meanwhile, another magical beast opened its huge mouth wide behind his back. Enoch, who had been fighting another magical beast in the distance, noticed this and came running.
He immediately thrust the spear he was holding upward from below the magical beast’s snout.
It wasn’t even a sword, just a wooden spear. It was a pathetically inadequate weapon for fighting magical beasts, but Kaiden and Enoch were making it possible. It was truly an unbelievable sight.
As expected, the main male leads of a 19+ dark novel are different no matter what.
They had defeated two anaconda magical beasts and only one remained, but I could see other anacondas emerging from the river with their heads raised.
This is insane. Why are so many magical beasts suddenly swarming like this? What was the problem? What was I missing?
Enoch and Kaiden were already covered in blood. Judging by the amount of blood they had shed, Enoch would probably start having an episode soon, which made it even worse.
I put down the box I was holding on the ground. Then I opened the lid and checked the number of bombs. There were thirteen bombs in total.
I’m not a trained soldier but a civilian – would I be able to use bombs properly?
I knew how to use grenades because I enjoyed watching TV programs where celebrities underwent military training. Whenever celebrities received new training, I would search for information about that training content.
But seeing with your eyes and actually doing it are naturally different. Grenades were weapons that made even veteran soldiers nervous.
Actually, the bigger problem was that this wasn’t an ordinary grenade but a modified weapon like the flare I had.
I first took out the flare from my pocket and examined the ammunition again.
There were four flare rounds left. The pocket with spare ammunition was in the cabin, so these were the only rounds I could use immediately.
Next, I gauged a suitable position to throw the bombs.
The magical beasts, Kaiden, Enoch, and Luzef were all positioned on the wide pebble field right in front of the riverside. I was on a hill slightly higher than that.
Looking at the positions, it seemed like Enoch and Kaiden might get hurt. Even if I shouted at them to get out of the way, it was questionable whether they would hear me properly.
Then, I saw Luzef, who was relatively close by because he was moving luggage.
I first loaded the flare and pulled back the hammer. Then, holding a bomb in my other hand, I called out to Luzef.
“Bishop!”
He spotted me and ran toward me with a pale face.
“Lady Flone! This place is dangerous! Please run far away!”
“Listen carefully! I’m going to give Kaiden and Enoch a signal, so tell them to get as far away from the magical beasts as possible!”
When Luzef furrowed his brow with an uncomprehending face and hesitated at my shout, I finally exploded in anger.
“What are you doing instead of going quickly!”
Luzef, startled by my scolding, hurriedly ran toward Kaiden and Enoch.
Even while running, he kept looking back at me with an incredulous face.
Regardless of what he was doing, I raised the hand holding the flare toward the sky.
In the distance, I could see Luzef conveying what I had said to Enoch and Kaiden. They spotted me at the same time and looked flustered.
Then the two men ran toward me along with Luzef.
It seemed like they were running toward me to save me rather than to execute what Luzef had conveyed.
What was truly surprising was that Enoch still seemed to be controlling his episode.
Anyway, it was fortunate that they were moving away from the magical beasts. I immediately pulled the trigger of the flare toward the sky.
The red smoke shot from the flare paused briefly in the sky above.
Bang! Boom!
Soon, giant firework explosions decorated the entire sky. At that commotion, the anaconda magical beasts simultaneously turned their heads in the direction where I was standing.
There seemed to be at least five of them…
The magical beasts spotted me and opened their huge mouths wide, licking their lips.
Inside their mouths were sharp teeth embedded in three layers. Their three-forked tongues stretched out long and headed toward Kaiden and Enoch, who were running toward me.
I hurriedly pulled out the safety pin of the bomb with my teeth and took position. Then I threw the bomb in a large arc and lay flat on the ground.
For a regular grenade, the time from releasing the handle to explosion is 7 seconds.
The bomb thrown among the crawling anaconda magical beasts exploded with a tremendous roar.
True to its name as a flame bomb, a giant pillar of fire shot up into the sky.
One magical beast that was blown away crashed into the cliff, causing another landslide, while another was consumed by flames.
The three men running toward me turned around in surprise to look at the magical beasts. I threw two more bombs in succession without hesitation.
“Margaret!”
Enoch ran to me and embraced me.
At that moment, I saw three magical beasts that weren’t dead yet crawling toward us.
“Shit, wait a moment.”
I pushed away Enoch and Kaiden and went down the hill, loading the flare and pulling the hammer.
“Margaret!”
With the men’s shouts behind me, I pulled the trigger. Red smoke squeezed between the three anacondas.
After a few seconds, giant flames exploded and the anacondas were torn to pieces, raining down from the sky like chunks of meat.
Watching that horrible sight, I covered my nose. Thick poisonous gas from the anaconda magical beasts’ corpses spread everywhere, and breathing it in close up made me dizzy and weak in the knees.
Kaiden, who had run up from behind, lifted me onto his shoulder, then ran as far as possible with Enoch and Luzef to escape the poisonous gas.
“Margaret, what do you think you’re doing acting so dangerously!”
“Margaret, are you okay?! Stay conscious!”
“What on earth was that? I thought magic couldn’t be used on this island? Lady Flone, can you use magic too? What exactly is your identity?!”
Enoch, Kaiden, and Luzef raised their voices frantically in that order.
“I’m fine, so could you please stop calling my name? Save the ‘that was cool’ and ‘thank you’ for later. Right now I’m feeling a bit nauseous.”
I covered my mouth while hanging like luggage on Kaiden’s shoulder. I felt like my stomach was going to turn inside out.
Only then did the three men seem relieved and let out sighs.
This isn’t a romance novel. It’s just a survival story.
Still, in 【Things More Important Than Survival】, the Female Lead Yuanna seemed to spend relatively peaceful days sharing love with the Male Leads without worrying much about monsters.
Damn it, what is this for me? Why is this happening to me?
It’s becoming more and more of a hardcore survival story!
