I Was Kidnapped By The Strongest Guild
Chapter 382: Hero Appears

Whoosh-

Part of the nest collapsed where it collided with the pterosaur.

Dust clouds rose up as dry branches and leaves scattered everywhere.

"Gaeul."

"Master!"

Peek-

Our Gaeul poked her head out from behind a fallen tree.

Her expression was full of confidence, likely from successfully performing the magic trick.

When I gestured for her to come over, Gaeul ran toward me, stepping on broken branches.

"Heuk...!"

I wanted to check her condition slowly, but that wasn't possible.

A massive pterosaur's cry rang out from behind the cloud of dust.

"Screee!"

The roar was loud enough to hurt our ears.

As the dust cleared slightly, the pterosaur's massive form was revealed.

Standing on one leg, it rolled its eyes around surveying the nest.

"Screek."

After examining the nest, it approached us with small wing flaps and hops.

It wasn't using its signature high speed.

Was it trying to protect its nest and surviving babies?

Or perhaps it thought it could handle us without flying.

"Princess...! This time Levinas will protect you...! Levinas isn't a coward anymore...!"

Levinas stood between me and the pterosaur.

She spread her arms wide as if to shield me, but her body was trembling.

"Come at me! Levinas will...!"

Just as Levinas was about to shout something at the monster, this world's Saebyeok walked in front of her.

Sniffle-

This world's Saebyeok made a sniffling sound as she approached the monster.

She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, as if wiping away tears.

"Saebyeok...?"

Was Saebyeok crying?

I wanted to check her face but couldn't.

Because Saebyeok charged at the monster pterosaur.

"Oh...!"

"Screee!"

The pterosaur jabbed its beak at Saebyeok as if to pierce through her body.

As I reflexively reached for my bow, Saebyeok twisted her body and caught the creature's bee-sting-like beak under her right armpit.

"Screek!"

The pterosaur twisted its head left and right trying to break free.

But Saebyeok's strength was second to none.

Grip-!

While this world's Saebyeok held the beak tight, our Saebyeok charged forward.

Our Saebyeok targeted the creature's remaining leg.

Bang-!

Our Saebyeok kicked the ground so hard it left a crater.

She launched her body like a tackle toward the pterosaur's leg, and the impact made the creature lose balance and fall.

Having only one leg made it easy to knock over.

"Screeek!"

With its leg and beak firmly caught, it frantically flapped its winged arms.

The two Gaeuls, who excelled at dodging monster attacks, darted between its wings and arms landing punches.

Thump! Thump!

Though the damage wasn't significant, both Gaeuls attacked the pterosaur earnestly.

While the two Gaeuls and Saebyeok fought hard, I approached Levinas.

"Levinas, let's tie it up."

"H-how do we tie it...?"

"Make plants grow to cover its body. You learned how to grow plants, right?"

"Ah...!"

Levinas placed both hands on the ground.

Trees and vines grew from the earth, covering the pterosaur's body.

The vines Levinas created were stronger than any rope.

"Scr-screek...!"

As the creature was subdued by trees and vines, it was our time to counterattack.

Wham-! Thud-!

The two Saebyeoks mercilessly pounded its body.

Pat pat-

The two Gaeuls also earnestly hit its body.

"Screee!"

Though the trees and vines snapped from the giant pterosaur's struggling, Levinas restrained it with new plants each time.

Whoosh-!

I also shot various magic arrows at the creature.

If it had used its signature high-speed flight to target us, this would have been much harder.

Thanks to it not flying, we could win easily.

"Hah, haah..."

This world's Saebyeok caught her breath in front of the limp pterosaur.

Unfortunately, she didn't stop attacking its body.

Thud-! Thud-!

"Saebyeok."

Both Saebyeoks turned to look at me when I called.

This world's Saebyeok, who had been extremely agitated, lowered her hands without hesitation at my call.

The silence that followed was broken by Levinas.

"We won! We...!"

Her expression was on the verge of tears from joy.

Through Levinas's perked-up ears, I could indirectly feel how moved she was.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Masterrr!"

"Master!"

The two Gaeuls circled around us, and this world's Saebyeok hugged me tight.

Our Saebyeok flicked her tail in displeasure but didn't stop the hug.

"Gyeoul is really amazing."

"Me...?"

"Yes. You protect family no matter what."

"Um..."

Protected them? I hadn't done anything.

All I'd done was get caught by the pterosaur and shoot a few arrows while the children caught it.

So I couldn't help feeling confused.

"I thought it was all over, never imagined help would come from another world."

"Y-yeah..."

Next to Saebyeok hugging me tight, our Gaeul puffed out her chest with an "ahem."

Watching this, this world's Gaeul mimicked the gesture with a blank expression.

She seemed to be copying without understanding why.

Though various things had happened, it seemed everything was wrapping up well.

I was patting this world's Saebyeok's back and chuckling when-

"SCREEEEE!"

An ear-splitting roar rang out from the sky.

It was so powerful it made the monster pterosaur's screech seem like nothing.

"Huh...?"

When I quickly looked up, there was another pterosaur in the sky that looked identical to the one we'd caught.

The problem was this one was twice as big as the one we'd caught.

'The male...?'

Right.

Usually males and females form pairs to raise young.

Just as we hurriedly took battle positions, it charged at us at an incredible speed.

Bang-!

Its speed was on a completely different level from the pterosaur we'd caught.

Like the difference between a pistol and a sniper rifle.

I used my slow-motion ability and racked my brain frantically.

The children and I needed to dodge simultaneously.

Otherwise we'd be severely injured at minimum.

Just as I quickly nocked two arrows, I saw it.

Someone approaching even faster than the creature's diving speed.

A robed and masked figure produced a sonic boom as they approached and struck the creature's face.

Wham-!

Its neck snapped from the single hit.

The instantly killed creature fell lifelessly to the ground.

I wagged my tail happily at the being who had killed it.

Though they hid their identity with a robe and mask, I couldn't mistake them.

It was our world's Master, after all.

**

Gnash.

Blood dripped from her bitten lip.

Han Yeoreum desperately wanted to go save the children right away, but had to hold back watching the endless waves of monsters.

Leaving irresponsibly now would only create more casualties.

"Master, I'll go too after this wave ends."

"...Okay."

She'd let her guard down, blinded by hope found after two months.

Pathetically sound asleep, she hadn't even seen Gyeoul get captured or the children chase after her.

Not once but twice.

Losing the children stupidly twice.

Bang-! Bang-!

Han Yeoreum pounded the monster before her with her fists.

Though she was a swordswoman, if she didn't do this her head felt like it would explode from anger.

"Ugh...!"

Please just be alive.

Han Yeoreum prayed desperately, but knew the chances were low.

After all, no one taken by that creature had ever returned alive.

'At least the children who followed...'

All the children except Levinas from the other world had run to save Gyeoul.

Though they could somehow avoid monster hordes, facing two of those creatures would be too much.

If they tried to get revenge by charging at them...

"You...!"

Just as Han Yeoreum was about to smash the monster's head-

Whoosh-!

An arrow flew in from somewhere and struck the octopus-type monster's head perfectly.

The arrow had come from outside the park, not inside.

Han Yeoreum's gaze naturally turned toward outside the park.

"Oh."

Far away, at the edge of the horizon.

The children were walking proudly, leading hundreds of people.

"...!"

"...!"

The children spotted Han Yeoreum and waved while hopping up and down.

They were too far away to hear what they were saying.

'What's this.'

Among the crowd the children were leading were people who had been taken by Teranos.

Perhaps they were all people who had been taken by Teranos.

"......"

I must be hallucinating from going crazy.

Han Yeoreum squeezed her eyes shut.

Clang-!

Though the octopus struck Han Yeoreum's head, she just kept her eyes tightly closed.

After all, beatings were medicine for crazy people.
