Soon, the monster that stood in the way between us fell to the ground, and I stood facing each other with Enoch.

"Enoch."

When I called him again, another giant tarantula appeared behind his back.

Enoch immediately turned his back and walked away from me. Dammit.

hiss-

Eunji, who was on my shoulder, came down and wrapped my forearm. As I looked at the kid who was flicking his tongue while staring at me, I suddenly remembered the contents of the novel.

–The monsters on the island are all opposites.

In the wolf monsters habitat, there are no tarantula monsters, and in the tarantula monsters habitat, there are no anaconda monsters.

Among them, anaconda monsters are the top predators of the island's food chain. Therefore, both the wolf monsters and the tarantula monsters were afraid and avoided the anaconda monsters.

Obviously, there is such a narrative in the original work.

If I can distract the monsters even for a moment, I might be able to get Enoch out of the crowd of monsters.

With a bright face, I look down at Eunji, who is looking at me.

Is Eunji really a baby anaconda? But even so, there's no way such a small kid could kill that giant tarantula.

'Eunji is still a baby.'

After thinking for a while, I finally decided not to use Eunji as bait to distract the tarantula monsters.

Then Eunji looked up at me, tilted his head, and snorted with a slightly angry face–as if he didn't want to be underestimated.

So I looked at him and asked, "Can you do it?"

Eunji nodded his head vigorously at my question. Then he slithered down to the ground.

In the meantime, the spiders were popping up endlessly, and Kayden, Arthdal, and Diego, who were standing around me as if escorting me, became busy dealing with them.

I followed Eunji, who was slithering quickly, grabbing the flare gun and hurriedly running.

At that moment, five monsters gathered toward Enoch, and Eunji, who smoothly slithered in between, stood in front of Enoch and looked around.

Then the monsters that were moving aggressively stopped.

I walked past them and approached Enoch, who was about to attack the monster, and grabbed his arm.

While he looked at me with a puzzled face, I pointed the flare gun at the monsters and pulled the trigger.

boom! boom!

With the sound of fireworks exploding, the monsters shattered into the air. I picked up Eunji and said, "Good job. Thanks."

I sighed and stroked the boy's scales a couple of times.

"I won't let you do anything dangerous next time."

It seems that I have built a bond with him without realizing it. When I stroke him, I feel good. Eunji wagged his tail, slithered up my arm, and hung over my shoulder.

Then I pulled Enoch's arm. But he didn't even budge.

"Margaret!"

Kayden's panicked voice came from right next to me. It seems that more monsters have gathered.

"Take the crown prince away from here!"

Arthdal shouted to me.

I looked at Enoch again when the three men struggled to deal with the crowd of monsters. His eyes were half out of focus, and staring blankly at me.
