The others were cleaning up the monster corpses in the vacant lot in front of the cabin.

"Oh, that one is my nemesis," Kayden muttered angrily.

I followed Kayden's gaze and slowly turned my head. Behind the hill where we sat, a gigantic orangutan lumbered around.

The reason Kayden expressed so much animosity towards the orangutan monster was because it had injured him the other day.

I took the flare gun from my crossbody bag, reloaded the bullets, and pulled the hammer down.

"Archbishop, Kayden, would you like to step back a little?"

"As expected from our Margaret. I feel safe because of you."

I aimed the flare gun at the orangutan monster slowly approaching closer.

And it was time to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, Eunji, who was wrapped around my forearm, spun around and put his head over the flare gun, and opened his mouth to the orangutan monster.

Immediately after, a small spark ignited from Eunji's mouth and came out as a huge pillar of fire.

The orangutan monster, hit by the pillar of fire, flew away and crashed into the cliff.

Soon, the flames were blazing, and the monster's body was on fire.

"Wha- what?"

I was so shocked that my body stiffened. Eunji snorted fire excitedly, then looked back at me with a smirk. He surprisingly has tremendous power with this small body of his.

However, the real problem started after this.

"Young Lady Floné, be careful! More orangutans are ing! Prince Arthdal, there are also wolf monsters ing from there!" Yuanna on a tree that is nearly five stories high shouted at us.

When did she climb all the way to the treetop though?

Arthdal ​​under the same tree was also pulling the bowstring towards the wolf-type monsters that flocked in the direction of Enoch and Diego.

"Yeah, I had guessed it wouldn't end here," Kayden muttered more leisurely than expected.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to go down there? It's enough just Ruzef and me here."

In response to my words, Ruzef whispered in an unconfident voice, "But I can't do anything, Young Lady."

"What do you mean? If I get injured, you must treat me immediately. You hold the most important role."

At my words, Ruzef shut his mouth and looked at me with tearful eyes.

"Do you have time for that?"

As if Kayden could not tolerate any kind of warm atmosphere, he took out his dagger.

"Anyway, there's no need to worry since the Crown Prince is there."

Kayden is right. On top of that, there is Diego, and Arthdal is also helping with a long-range attack, it is a more stable position.

I swallowed dry saliva at the sight of many orangutan monsters walking in the distance, blowing dust clouds into the air.

"Kayden, let's do this. I have a weapon that can attack long range and you have to do short-range attacks. Bombs and flares have a strong ripple effect, so I'm going to launch them first, and then you do your short-range attacks."

Seeing the orangutans slowly gathering from afar, Kayden nodded his head.

"Can you use more mana? If you can, I'll finish it in one hit."

"I over-injected my mana into Enoch. It was my first time, so I overdid it."

Now, I have reached a point where I can easily figure out how much of the remaining mana within me is.

"Yeah, that's it then. I will do as you say."

Kayden took out his dagger and slowly got up from his seat. He flamboyantly turned the dagger in his hand, then grabbed the handle of the dagger and took a stance.

Eunji wrapped himself around my forearm.

"Stay still this time. This big sister[1] of yours has a plan."

At my words, Eunji craned his neck and tilted his head at me.

"Let's work together next time."

I don't know if he understood me, but Eunji continued to flick his tongue out and tilt his head.

Anyway, with a flare gun loaded in one hand, I took the flame bomb out of my crossbody bag in the other.

"You have to lower your body when I throw this. You could get hurt."

Kayden lowered his body at my words, and Ruzef was already lying on his stomach.

I pulled out a safety pin with my teeth, threw the bomb through the approaching monsters, and lay face down.

-blast! bang!

More dust rose with the huge explosion, and blue blood gushed out. Each monster had a different blood color.

I immediately got up and tried to pull the trigger of the flare gun, but the running speed of the orangutan monster was faster than I expected.

-koong koong koong koong!

Two orangutan monsters that got closer in an instant approached us.

"Fxxk."

Startled, I pushed Ruzef next to me with my foot and hit Kayden with my hand.

Then I was punched by an orangutan monster and rolled down the hill.

"Ugh."

It hurts. I think I'm going to die in pain. This time, my ribs might really be broken.

"Margaret!"

Enoch, who was wielding a sword among the wolf monsters, quickly ran down the hill and hugged me.

I don't know how you did it, but it was a good move.

"Thank you."

Whether it was because my ribs were really broken or the shock I received while being held in Enoch's arms, the pain in my chest intensified.

However, there was no time to be placent under the pretext of being injured.

[1] I'm personally still not sure about Eunji's gender. At one point Margaret called him 'That guy or that kid' so I thought it was a boy. But in this sentence, Margaret addressed herself as Unnie instead of Noona. Fyi, Unnie means older sister if the speaker is a girl and Noona means older sister if the speaker is a boy.

But since Margaret often calls Eunji 'That guy' for now I'm going to assume Eunji is a boy until I'm sure about its gender.
