Kidnapped Dragons Chapter 402: Episode 107: Let us Love (5)

Chapter 402: Episode 107: Let us Love (5)

Her childhood memories came back to her.

When the seemingly unending h.e.l.l finally came to an end, and after the murderer, who was standing still in pleasure in front of her mother’s corpse as if he was ejaculating, turned and left the palace,

The baby dragon stood in front of her mother.

Her fangs as well as her mouth were pulverised and her entire body was sliced into pieces.

Blankly, the child walked up and touched her mum. Shaking the still body of her mother, lifting and dropping her heavy hand that used to move on its own, and gazing at the powerless hand that dropped back down to the ground;

While leaning her head to the cold heart that would no longer pulse with life,

The child had to accept the unbelievable truth.

Her younger sister was unconscious.

Soon, after gaining her consciousness, her sister tried to stop her heart from the unbearable shock so the child had to squeeze her body and stop her.

Despite being young, the two of them knew what kind of race the black dragons were. They did not have any place to call home, and they were the trash of Askalifa that couldn’t be acknowledged by any other race. They were the dimensional garbage.

Because those kids only had their family to rely on,

Their mother used to be the world to them.

And yet now, their mother was dead.

After a long and violent fight, the older sister suppressed her younger sister from above and shouted at her.

– Why would you kill yourself.

– Is everything over if we die?

– Even if we do die, we have to take our revenge before that.

Because she was still crude with words and sloppy with expressions, she couldn’t properly convey her deathly despair, but there was another method. Their minds became one as thoughts were connected.

The young dragon conveyed her thoughts to her younger sister.

– If you can’t do it with your own hands, then help me achieve our revenge.

– Make a vow. On mum’s corpse.

– That we will definitely avenge her death!

Hearing the shout of her older sister who always used to speak softly, the younger dragon widened her eyes and held back her tears.

– Do it!

Like that, the hatchlings made a pledge.

.

.

The dimension where their residential palace was located was very close to [Primal Time]. Time and s.p.a.ce became more and more distorted the closer one was to the Non-Providential World, and after entering the world of Primal Time, it would deviate into a parallel timeline that travels differently from the [Time Providence].

The older sister calculated in her head. It would create a difference of roughly 500 years for her to leave this place and arrive at Earth. Even though the murderer had jumped through the restrictions of time using the power of a certain transcendent authority, the baby dragons did not have such a power.

From inside the treasure of the black race, the older sister observed the undistorted timeline. There, ‘another version of herself’ was about to depart on a journey to become the Dragon Lord. 

By pretending to be a green dragon, she was at Askalifa greeting some hatchlings she was seeing for the first time under the permission of the Dragon Lord.

It was a very opportune timing.

However, she herself couldn’t go to that place.

She was a mutant, and was an existence that could gaze at Providence from outside Providence. If she were to jump into the [Providential Time] here, it would create two versions of herself.

If that happened, then the guy called [Vintage Clock] who looked after Providence would perceive her existence and come to erase her by sending a sovereign or something.

Fortunately there was a method, because a black dragon’s ability was editing and transferring memories. However, it was also impossible to directly send her current memories to her ‘other self’ that was in such a distant place. There was too much of a deficiency in output and all she could do here was light up a small ember on the fuse.

Therefore, the older sister decided to convey those memories through her sister. Looking at her younger sister who was crouching on the ground, she opened her mouth.

– From now on, you have to fly by yourself for 500 years.

– I will seal your memories, so you don’t die from that loneliness.

– Flying there will be very tiring and it will be very lonely. But you still must go.

– Help me…

While sealing her memories, the older sister applied a simple brainwash on top. [Help] – the younger sister’s purpose in life would be to help someone.

This was the power that would allow her to traverse through other dimensions for 500 years all by herself, making sure that she would arrive at her ‘other self’ that was waiting very far ahead without deviating from the path.

But right as she was about to use her sealing spell, the younger sister asked a question.

– Unni.

– Nn?

– When my job is over, and when all the memories get transferred back to you…

– Nn.

– …After that, ……Can I die first?

The older sister just could not turn her down, because that was the only way to postpone her sister’s death as much as possible.

– …Wait for me there.

Using the power of the green race, the baby dragon aligned herself to Providence.

For her ‘other self’ to unhurriedly leave on the Amus.e.m.e.nt 500 years later in the Providential World, she had to completely seal her own memories. Like that, she had to become oblivious to everything in order to avoid the eyes of [Vintage Clock]’s supervision over the Providence of Time.

Before erasing her memories, it was possible to mess around with her body and she could also apply a little brainwash on herself. Even [Vintage Clock] would not be able to notice that.

Therefore, the baby dragon brainwashed herself on three points.

〚One. Fall in crazy love with my Nemesis for no reason and endlessly crave for his love.〛

For her first brainwash, she touched her [Origin Fragment]. After 500 years, she would probably leave on an Amus.e.m.e.nt while pretending to be a hatchling all over again, and she was going to make preparations for that beforehand. Fortunately, there was a tool among the treasures of the black race that allowed her to manipulate the Origin Fragment.

〚Two. Intrude deeply into my Nemesis, shake his heart and make him hold romantic feelings for myself.〛

She set up a few devices for her second brainwash. The opponent was fundamentally a human, and a male. The young dragon prepared various things that could allow her to shake a male’s heart.

Firstly, she edited the basic settings of her [Polymorph]. Her face that was already pretty among dragons thanks to her taking after her mother became even more attractive. The lines going down her white neck to her collarbones; the beautiful form of b.r.e.a.s.t.s and the slender waist, as well as the appealing hipline were all modified to be even prettier. Her white and tiny hands and feet were carved into more beautiful shapes. She then formed ample muscles, glossy hair and soft skin.

After that, she learned how to speak with a wonderful and refres.h.i.+ng voice, and made her body emanate a fragrance that could shake an existence’s heart. Since she could use the abilities of both races at her free will, she disguised that fragrance under the scent of nature and made it natural.

Also, she tried to hold a warm heart that could soothe others. She had to be aggressive and on the move to shake the blunt heart of a dull human, and had to hold enough possessive desire to threaten him and ensure his romantic feelings wouldn’t stray towards a different person after being woken up. According to what she had learned from her mother, an existence that was not dangerous seemed to be ignored in a human society.

But while changing everything one by one, her sighs turned bigger over time. These parts were still probably imperfect and sloppy.

From the start, she had always been an uninteresting existence and had never even contemplated how to appeal to a male before…

Regardless, she did everything she could.

〚Three. Help him do everything he wants to achieve.〛

After finis.h.i.+ng all the way up to her third brainwash,

The baby dragon thought to herself. It was unclear when all this would actually come into play because her Nemesis had the ability to flip time upside down. It was unclear when that mental patient with a worn out personality would treat her other self nicely.

However, by constantly sharing the same s.p.a.ce with him and increasing her conversation with him, and when they finally had a bond between each other,

Her brainwashes would definitely come into play.

Finis.h.i.+ng her line of thought, the baby dragon sealed her memories,

And entered a deep slumber.

***

In the warm season, there were kids watering the ground. Although it was a dry and parched piece of land, there was definitely life on it before, and even until now, there seemed to have been a small seed left behind on the crevices of the seemingly infertile land.

Judging from the small leaf leaving the ground, that was.

That small leaf was his heart. Like how it had been called a ‘kid’ by the innocently young Kaeul, the tiny leaf was very immature and shaky with each breeze of dust being too sharp for comfort.

Even then, it was okay.

– I, trust you…

Someone gave water when it was time.

– It might hurt more for the one who lied right…

While another blocked the harsh wind from the side.

The small leaf gradually became bigger and the roots went deeper down, holding more water hostage. Life slowly returned to the parched piece of land.

There were a lot of hazards throughout the process and there were also solutions. Facing anything uncomfortable with disregard, and using habit for what was familiar, he used various solutions to avoid the risks that threatened him.

However, what he couldn’t expect was the watering child to suddenly tear him to pieces.

“…So, how do you feel?”

The hands that used to be softer and warmer than anything else in the world were shredding the leaf to tatters. He did not know how to deal with such a thing.

“Do you want to live now?’

Her voice was apathetic and her gaze was so cold it gave him chills. Yu Jitae placed his hand on his chest feeling the shattered fragments of a gla.s.s marble wreaking havoc in his heart.

His heart was being crushed.

It was painful. Like he was dying.

“…”

Lifting his head, he looked at her. However, he had no idea how he was supposed to reply to her question.

If he said he wanted to live, her revenge would be made complete and Gyeoul would die.

If he said he wanted to die, then he wouldn’t be able to explain why he came here.

Suddenly, he saw Yeorum and Gyeoul looking at him with their eyes open. They were urging him to reply but in that scene, Yeorum was covered in more wounds while Gyeoul looked more like an adult.

His heart dropped an inch.

But when he reopened his eyes after a blink, he realised the kids were still unconsciously closing their eyes.

His mental shock appeared to have crossed the line.

What he saw just then, was his sin.

“Nn?”

She asked him again.

Do you want to live?

“…”

He remained silent. His heart was thumping in concern that she might pull the trigger but she didn’t. She continued gazing at his face with a pouty look on her face.

“You look quite shocked. Didn’t know you could show an expression like that.”

“…”

“If you don’t want to reply to that, how about I ask something else. How do you feel right now?”

“…What?”

“I wanted to ask if a day like this ever came. You probably want to live now because of us, so these kids dying must feel like your world is crumbling down right? How would you feel in a time like this? Would you feel half as much despair as what I have felt?”

Yu Jitae stared at the ground with unfocused eyes.

“If your plan included making me want to die, Bom, then it was a complete success…”

The steaming hot spring he prepared for the kids to warm up their bodies on the way back home was icy cold and so was his heart. A chilly blizzard was freezing the flesh inside his cracked skin.

“…Because I feel like dying.”

However,

As always.

No matter how vicious of a thing happened to him,

Even if his heart was to be crushed,

And even if he was to die,

His life always continued on its own so he had to face reality. Suppressing his emotions that could burst out and kill him anytime, Yu Jitae closed his eyes and contemplated.

“That means you want to live, right?”

After hearing the question a third time,

Reopening his eyes, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Yes. I want to live.”

An intense pressure was trampling down on his physical body as blood oozed out from within. A drop of blood budded under one of his eyes, which soon travelled down his cheek.

“I want to live, with all of you…”

[TLN]: Hi. This is Rain. I am uploading these chapters in bulks in a similar fas.h.i.+on to how the author had initially uploaded them (although not exactly the same).

After the end of this arc, there was a period of 3 weeks without any updates. During that time, the author stocked all the chapters until Chapter 425 and dropped it all at once, and that is what I am going to do as well.

Now I didn’t want you to wait all that time, and that is why I have been piling up a lot of chapters instead. I believe I’ll finish translating them by the coming Sunday / Monday so that would be when I upload all the remaining chapters at once.

On another note, I have decided on the next novels I’ll be translating. The novel, ‘I killed the Player of the Academy’ will be uploaded in partners.h.i.+p with Genesis Translations on their website, whereas I will be doing a different novel on this site. I’ll talk more on that in an announcement after I post all the main chapters of Kidnapped Dragons.

Enjoy!
