Chapter 70

 

Kaiden and I hurriedly ran toward the direction where the sound came from.

 

And the scene we encountered wasn’t much different from what we had seen earlier.

 

If hell existed, would it be a place like this?

 

Dozens of giant spiders lay fallen. And the man who had climbed over those spiders continued to swing his sword at the spiders that kept gathering.

 

The green blood of magical beasts formed a river on the ground.

 

Kwaaaak!

 

Terrible sounds that might have been the spiders’ screams or something else echoed endlessly.

 

Eun-ji, who had been wrapped around my arm, seemed startled and crawled up my arm to my shoulder, burying her face in my hair.

 

“Lady Flone! You’re alive!”

 

A familiar voice came from not too far away. Yuanna, who was sitting on a high tree branch, was waving her hand toward me.

 

Yuanna had no combat ability. Moreover, she didn’t have weapons like flares as I did. Nevertheless, she was skilled enough at handling danger on her own that there was no need to worry.

 

“Lady Flone.”

 

This time someone called me from right beside me. When I turned around, pink hair was the first thing that caught my eye. It was Asdal.

 

Yuanna was in a position where she couldn’t come over to this side, but Asdal seemed to have been relatively close to us.

 

He looked completely haggard and alternately looked at me and Kaiden, then soon gritted his teeth with emotion welling up on his face.

 

“You were alive.”

 

“Are you alive, Lord, Young Lady.”

 

And Diego, who had likewise been nearby and came running hurriedly, greeted me and Kaiden.

 

“What is that…?”

 

While Asdal was asking, pointing at Eun-ji who was on my shoulder, Diego drew his sword and aimed it at me. Kaiden quickly stepped in front of me to block him.

 

“It’s not dangerous, put away your sword.”

 

“Eun-ji isn’t dangerous. Really.”

 

When I added a word to Kaiden’s statement, Asdal looked at me with a puzzled face.

 

“Eun-ji…?”

 

“Eun-ji is this little one’s name, but that’s not what’s important. Why is Enoch in such a rampage state?”

 

At my question, Diego and Asdal’s faces turned pale. They rubbed their faces with tired expressions and looked back at Enoch who was in a rampage state.

 

“Where is the Bishop?”

 

No matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see Luzef. Ominously. Asdal sighed and glared in the direction where Enoch was standing.

 

“The Bishop is in the middle of that chaos.”

 

“…In the middle? The Bishop is in there?”

 

Good heavens… That timid Archbishop Luzef was at the center of that.

 

“He seems to be safe for now. His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be unconsciously protecting the Bishop, but I don’t know how long it will last. His Highness’s condition is also very unstable.”

 

This time Diego answered in a heavy voice.

 

“The Half-Emperor is not human. How can a person use such power…”

 

Asdal shuddered and gritted his teeth. Then he crossed his arms and continued speaking while looking at Enoch.

 

“He’s in a state where communication doesn’t work. He’s been slaughtering magical beasts like that for two days.”

 

“It’s possible to stop him temporarily. If Your Highness Asdal would lend me your strength.”

 

At Diego’s words, Asdal grimaced as if he didn’t even want to think about it and ran his hand through his hair.

 

“Where on earth did the Young Lady and Lord go?”

 

Asdal looked at me and Kaiden with a face full of questions as he asked.

 

“We were attacked by a tarantula magical beast. We fell off the cliff and struggled to get here.”

 

Only then did Asdal and Diego look over mine and Kaiden’s disheveled appearance.

 

“So why did Enoch go on a rampage?”

 

At my question, Asdal sighed and looked back toward Enoch.

 

“I don’t know the exact reason. I only remember that he was looking for the Young Lady before going on a rampage.”

 

“It probably wasn’t because of me. Enoch’s rampage only triggers when he sees ‘human blood.'”

 

“That’s right. Then he might have intentionally triggered the rampage for monster extermination. None of us bled except the Half-Emperor himself.”

 

He intentionally triggered a rampage for monster extermination?

 

Setting aside whether such a thing was actually possible, I couldn’t understand how he planned to control himself after exterminating all the magical beasts by choosing such a method.

 

I looked back at Enoch again. In reality, I couldn’t properly see Enoch’s appearance. He was surrounded by magical beasts and moving constantly, swinging his sword at them without rest.

 

“The magical beasts’ movements were strange. They suddenly swarmed in. It’s fortunate that the place they swarmed to is some distance from the cabin, but… The Half-Emperor is doing what needs to be done right now.”

 

Asdal said with a tired face, pressing his brow firmly.

 

That was also true. There was no better base camp than the cabin. If we could just hold out, the most ideal thing would be to endure there as long as possible while looking for an escape method.

 

‘So it might be better to exterminate the magical beasts here, far from the cabin, and burn their corpses.’

 

Magical beasts seemed to have the characteristic of detecting their comrades’ deaths faster than anyone and gathering around the corpses. Just like the anaconda magical beasts had done before.

 

Was it because of the tarantula magical beast that died on the cliff? Could that be why they gathered like this? If so, this phenomenon was somewhat understandable.

 

The same went for the green blood of the magical beasts that Enoch had defeated. As if that blood was calling even more magical beasts, they kept appearing from somewhere.

 

Only then did I notice that Enoch was covered in blood. Surprised, I covered my mouth and couldn’t speak for a moment.

 

“We just need to stay away, but that Half-Emperor fellow might die at this rate.”

 

At Asdal’s following words, I hurriedly approached Enoch. Of course, I didn’t get far before Kaiden caught me.

 

“It’s dangerous, Margaret.”

 

I wasn’t sure if I could do it, but at least I knew that Enoch in his seizure state responded to the words “stop it.”

 

And it seemed like I was the only one here who knew that.

 

“Enoch is in danger too.”

 

Even at my words, Kaiden held my wrist and wouldn’t let go.

 

“Eun-ji.”

 

And at my call, Eun-ji, who had been hiding on my shoulder, came down my arm and bit Kaiden’s hand just hard enough not to hurt him.

 

It seemed the story about this creature imprinting on me was true. No, actually, I was almost certain now. Without me saying anything, Eun-ji read my mind and did what I wanted.

 

Kaiden was surprised and let go of my hand.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

I apologized to Kaiden, took out a flare and loaded it, then walked into the midst of the magical beasts.

 

“Enoch!”

 

Naturally, Enoch didn’t respond to my call. He turned his back with unfocused eyes and walked toward the swarming spiders.

 

I followed him, pushing through the mountain of magical beast corpses piled up and moving forward.

 

Screech!

 

Just then, a giant spider that had approached stretched its leg toward me. I quickly raised the flare, but before that, a sharp sword blade sliced through and cut off the magical beast’s leg.

 

When I turned my head, I saw Diego standing with his sword drawn.

 

To my left and right, and behind me, Asdal, Diego, and Kaiden each held weapons and guarded me.

 

“We’ll provide cover, so try doing what you need to do. You’re the only one who can control the Crown Prince in that state.”

 

Kaiden held his dagger and spoke to me with a reassuring smile, telling me not to worry.

 

“I’ll help.”

 

Diego answered quietly, and Asdal nodded in agreement.

 

“Go ahead. Leave your back to us.”

 

So I moved forward with Eun-ji hanging on my shoulder.

 

“Enoch!”

 

He was almost within arm’s reach. However, Enoch still couldn’t hear my shouts.

 

“Stop, Enoch!”

 

I used a phrase that was like a control command to control Enoch, but it had no effect. It seemed like it didn’t reach him completely. Even though he should have been able to hear me at that distance, he didn’t stop.

 

I bit my lower lip hard as I looked at Enoch in his unfocused state.

 

“Enoch!”

 

I called his name forcefully, but it was useless. My voice didn’t seem to reach him.

 

‘What should I do?’

 

The longer I pondered, the more the magical beast’s thick green blood formed rivers and pooled muddily on the dirt ground.

 

My eyes met with Enoch’s as he thrust his sword into the body of the magical beast that had approached right in front of him.

 

Kueek!

 

Along with the magical beast’s strange scream, green blood splattered all over one side of my cheek. A disgusting stench wafted over, but I couldn’t even blink.

 

Because Enoch was looking at me with a completely expressionless face.
