Chapter 11

The open mouth seemed to be twice the size of my head.

The sticky mucus that flowed from the mouth of the wolf monster was splattered on the floor.

Among the sharp teeth, a long tongue protruded like a snake. The tongue which fluctuated like a tentacle rose into the sky and slid down in the direction I was sitting.

I hurriedly moved to the side. The monster’s tongue was stuck in the spot where I was standing a while ago.

My mind went blank.

‘I have to live. I can do it myself. Let’s not be a burden to Enoch.’

I got up, barely supporting myself with my trembling arms. Then I quickly picked up the flat shoes that had fallen nearby and put them on.

kwoong!

A heavy sound echoed through the ground.

From a distance, Enoch slaughtered a monster by sticking it with a branch.

He ran straight to me. Then he lifted me up and pushed me behind his back.

As soon as I saw his solid back, a deep sense of relief spread in an instant. I grabbed Enoch’s jacket as if it were a lifeline and quickly looked at the situation.

The two remaining monsters turned towards us, waving their tails.

I picked up a branch that was lying on the ground. It was a useless weapon, but I held it tightly as if it were a talisman.

“Stay behind me,” Enoch said in a tense voice.

However, the wolf monster was an intelligent monster. They split into two sides and attacked us as if they were chasing prey.

Being behind Enoch’s back was of no use.

I rolled the ground again avoiding the attacking monsters. I didn’t know how lucky Margaret was to have a more agile body than I thought.

I thought I managed to move away from the monster, but its sharp teeth caught the lace on the hem of my dress.

“What the heck!”

At my scream, Enoch turned to look at me. He kicked the monster that was running towards me with his feet, and then hurriedly stretched out his hand toward me.

However, the monster’s movement was faster. The monster bit the hem of my dress and pulled it tight.

Thanks to that, I fell to the ground like I was thrown. Soon after, the tongue of the monster came through my dress and wrapped around my ankles.

“Ouch! Goddamn, why is this happening to me……!”

“Young Lady!”

I was dragged roughly somewhere.

‘Damn it!’

It was difficult to figure out how the situation was going because I was dragged around by the monster.

The strong force holding my ankles tightened and then loosened for a moment. Then my body was thrown into the air.

I immediately fell to the ground again.

pooh! pooh! koooooooong!

The ground shook. And a heavy object fell to the floor. It seemed to be a monster that was dragging me away.

When I came to my senses, I was on someone’s shoulder. As expected, it was Enoch.

Yes, only Enoch can save me like this.

He set me down in front of a fallen tree and went back the way he had come.

As he swung the branch he was holding, I could see a surge of black blood, which seemed to belong to the monster.

crack!

The trajectory of the branch thrown at the monster whose body had turned into a strange shape was dazzling.

The movement of the monster has already stopped. Even though it seemed certain that the monster was dead, Enoch did not stop.

I looked at the ground soaked with the black blood of the monster and then looked up.

There was a wound on Enoch’s left arm. Dark red blood was running through the torn shirt.

‘……I just remembered. What was the aftermath of Enoch’s war?’

When he sees human blood, he goes wild.

‘I have to stop him.’

Otherwise, the target he would attack later would be me.

I found a solid branch. And I ran straight to Enoch and hit him on the head. Fortunately, Enoch staggered —as if I had hit him in the right spot, and then fainted.

On the other hand, the monsters seemed to have been dead for a long time.

I lifted up Enoch’s heavy body with my trembling hands.

***

I don’t know how I got back to the cave supporting him.

In addition, the wound on Enoch’s forearm seemed to be quite severe. There seemed to be poison in the monster’s sharp claws.

I laid him down on the flat cave floor. If you are infected with poison, you must immediately stop the poison from spreading throughout your body.

There was still water left in the coconut bowl from last night. I immediately tore the hem of my dress and soaked it in the water in the coconut bowl. Then, using the wet dress hem as a towel, I wiped the wounded area.

“What if he really got poisoned……?”

I know how to give first aid, but I’m not a doctor.

“Still, I will do my best.”

Because I can’t just leave it alone.

I ended up tearing the hem of my dress further and tying it to Enoch’s forearm. To prevent the poison from spreading further, the part above the wound was tied tightly.

The blisters on my feet also burst. I had no choice but to wipe the wound with a wet cloth and tear the hem of my dress further to tie my feet.

All I can do is pray that there will be no infection.

Fatigue came, but I endured it.

I tied Enoch’s wrist tightly with the cloth.

“Ugh, what is this……!”

Looks like Enoch is awake.

He looked at me with his beastly eyes. Sweat-drenched bangs and cheeks caught my eye. He looked so miserable.

But I relentlessly pushed him on the shoulder and laid him down.

“Let’s sleep calmly.”

Of course, he didn’t listen to me.

“Untie it. Right now,” Enoch roared like a beast and warned me.

As he struggled to untie his bound wrist, I hurriedly raised my finger and placed it in front of his nose.

At that moment, I don’t know why the tone I used to train dogs came out.

“Stop. Stay still.”

“What……!”

“Stop.”

I said firmly again, “It’s okay. It’s okay, stay still.”

I thought this couldn’t work. So I expected him to struggle again soon, but it was surprisingly effective.

Enoch’s eyes, which were sharp like a wild beast, gradually subsided. I looked curiously at Enoch who had calmed down.

‘You can really calm down with this? I’ve never seen this reaction even in the original work.’

Of course, there was also a story in the novel where Enoch goes wild when he sees blood. But since this is an R-19 novel, Yuanna the female lead helps him……

I quickly stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, I remember that ‘the high-level event’ of Yuanna and Enoch occurred because of Enoch’s seizure symptoms. After this incident, the relationship between the two became deeper……

What is clear is that the situation that was romantic for Yuanna was survival for me.

‘I’m always the one in trouble. Damn it.’

There was no time to think deeply. Perhaps because of his wounds, Enoch had a fever all night long.

“Please, I hope the fever subsides soon……”

Fortunately, no additional shock symptoms occurred, and the condition of the wound gradually improved. I think I just need to lower the fever a little.

After wiping his sweaty face with a wet cloth while praying, I was tired and fell asleep slowly.

As I sat next to him dozing, the morning suddenly dawned.

Fortunately, Enoch’s fever had subsided. I was surprised to see him awake and asked, “Are you okay?”

He nodded with a troubled face.

His condition improved, but he needs medicine to properly heal the wound. If left as it is, Enoch’s condition might get worse.

I got up from my seat nervously biting my nails.

“I’ll get some herbs. I’ll be right back, so please wait.”

I do not know if Enoch listened to me properly or not. He just looked at me with a blank face.

I checked his condition once more and left the cave.

I wondered how to find a medicinal herb to heal wounds in this vast forest, but his condition was so bad. I couldn’t just sit and watch.

‘I have to go back before it gets dark.’

While walking around the forest and looking for herbs, I heard a rustling sound in front of me.

I took a moment to catch my breath.

Is it a monster? No way, the midday sunlight was too strong for the monster to appear.

So is it a human? If it’s a human, that’s also a big deal. Because the only people on this island were the five male leads, Yuanna, and me.

Whatever it was, I didn’t want to run into it, so I slowly took a step back. My hands were sweating from the tension.

It was when I was walking backward, wiping my sweaty palms against my dress.

crumble.

I heard the sound of stepping on the leaves from behind instead of in front of me.

When I turned around in surprise, silver hair was the first to be caught in sight. And then, I can see red eyes like blood.

He must have been in front of me before, but when did he get behind me so quickly?

Besides, silver hair and red eyes. I know who he is.

The eyes of the man who found me slowly widened.

“Huh? What is this? There’s another person?”
