Kidnapped Dragons

larbone all the way to the chest and the wide stomach.
As the blade ripped through its skin, the fat opened up like a busted balloon. 

The blue blood of the monster gushed out and wet his body. 

He cursorily wiped his eyes and approached the frantically struggling female monster and pushed the blade through its neck.

“Guuwoak! Gwoaak!!”

The female monster opened its mouth.
Saying, ‘Help me, help me.’

He could understand the monster’s words with [Fallen Babel (S)], but he didn’t stop. 

Then, the male monster who was floundering its arms around after losing its vision heard the female’s scream and discovered where he was.
It screamed.
The scream enlivened its own courage and anger. 

“Gururarararara—…!”

But the roar couldn’t continue for long as Yu Jitae’s longsword was in its throat.

The large body fell and it’s head crashed into the sloped glacial walls.
The wall broke while blue blood splattered.

He stabbed the male monster’s eye sockets.

He stabbed over and over again.

Without a word nor thought, simply wondering when this animal’s life was going to end.
No matter how strong its physical body was, it didn’t take long for the blade to enter through the eye socket and rip the brain into pieces.
Something dirty oozed out from the underwater devil’s eyes.

While that was happening, the female underwater devil hurriedly started to escape while struggling on all fours.
It seemed to think that it could survive after going into the water. 

Yu Jitae jumped in one step and slashed at the ankle of the escaping monster.
It’s muscular and skeletal structures were similar to a human’s, and so one of the feet of the female monster separated from its body alongside the achilles’ tendon. 

He was about to strike the other foot as well but the female monster quickly turned its body and blocked the strike with its calves.
Its muscles and bones were tough and the blade had a hard time going through. 

Thus, Yu Jitae pierced the sword in between the legs of the female monster.
The stab that attacked its vital spot caused the monster to have a fit in fright.

It couldn’t turn around anymore so he ripped the remaining achilles’ tendon on top.
And in order to end the life of the monster that wouldn’t survive for much, he headed towards its head. 

“Gururak! Gurararakk—–!!”

The female monster let out a scream and Yu Jitae understood what it meant.

He looked away from the female monster.
His movements that were like that of a beast until then regained its composure.
With a relaxed gaze, he observed the surroundings and looked for something.

He did find it strange for a bit.

Why was there another predator inside the territory that had been completely tidied up? They were probably predators that were chased away from a nearby area, and would have been starving.

And with all that considered, the female monster said:

‘Run.’

His apathetic gaze followed the direction of the voice and observed the other side of the snowy hill in detail.
It was hard to see due to their protective colouration so he used a little bit of mana to support his vision for a bit. 

Since there was a male and a female.

There would naturally be a cub as well.

But he wasn’t going to let it off just because it was a cub.

There it is.

Leaving behind the female monster who couldn’t run after losing its legs, Yu Jitae moved his feet.

That was when the monster grabbed his legs.
Despite losing a whole heap of blood and having close to no power left, it was desperate.
Thus, Yu Jitae stepped on its head near the eyes until they exploded. 

Turning around, he started running towards the cub.
The female monster twitched and crawled with its two arms but Yu Jitae crossed fifty metres with one step and was already far from it. 

He closed in towards the cub, frozen stiff with only its head popping out from underwater.
This young humanoid monster was stiffened after seeing its parents die in front of its eyes and was therefore slow. 

When it finally came to its senses and tried to go underwater, it was already too late.
Yu Jitae grabbed it by the head with a tight grip.
It was hard to grip because of its short fur, so he raised his sharp nails and grabbed the skin behind its head.
The skin ripped and formed a great handle. 

He lifted it up with sheer force.
The small underwater devil that didn’t even reach a metre in height was revealed above the snow. 

As long as he killed this, there would no longer be any dirty mana affecting her.
Assuring himself, he pushed the sword forward in front of the cub’s eyes.
In fright, the baby forgot how to fight back and lowered its head and closed its eyes.

Right before the blade stabbed above its eyebrows,

From within the business shirt which opened up after losing its top three buttons due to the heated fight, a blue necklace snapped and fell above the baby underwater devil’s head.

He stopped.

The reddish-black blood oozing out from his dry and cracked skin travelled down the black, dead tissues of his hand and dripped.

After stopping his body, his brain started to move.

The necklace was made by weaving Gyeoul’s hair and scales and was something he received for his birthday.
Thinking about it now, since the excess scales and hair that belonged to her body before shedding skin were turning back to mana, it was rather obvious for the necklace to snap any time soon.
That wasn’t the reason Yu Jitae stopped his hand.

It was just that, right before his irritation and sensitivity made him kill the cub after its parents, Yu Jitae suddenly found the conversation he had with Gyeoul revisiting his head.

What kind of person is a good person?

To his question, Gyeoul replied.
Someone that picks up rubbish, someone that feeds cats, someone that plays with her.

And,

– …Someone, that doesn’t get angry?

Dunno.
You have to get angry when you’re upset.
Or else, people won’t know that you’re angry.

Gyeoul shook her head.

– …Still,

– …Someone, that gets less angry.

The Regressor lowered his sword.

“What’s this?”

Yeorum shook the $1 note.

“That’s your allowance unni!”

“Allowance…? This?”

“Nn, sounds amazing! Getting allowances!”

Kaeul laughed ‘hehe’, but Yeorum appeared uninterested.

“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?”

“I don’t.”

“Why, why?!”

“You think I’m a beggar.
What can you do with a dollar? At least give like a thousand dollars if you’re giving something.”

“Ehhng? That’s too much…!”

Yeorum grumbled and chucked the note and it landed on the floor.

“Ah.
Unni, unni.
Can I use this then!?”

“Do what you want.”

“Uwah!”

Kaeul was about to pick up the note but Yu Jitae suddenly called her from the kitchen.
“Yes yes!” she said as she disappeared into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Yeorum, who was about to head into her room for a little nap, turned to the $1 note that was on the ground.

Looking back, she had never received money from someone in her entire life.

Allowance.
Allowance…

“Hmm…”

…Were cigarettes about 25 cents each?

***

After coming back from the kitchen, Kaeul looked everywhere.

“Nn? Where did my one dollar go?”

She couldn’t see it anywhere.

It wasn’t under the sofa, nor was it under the protector or between Chirpy’s legs.
She couldn’t find the $1 note anywhere.

She became depressed.

“Hing.
My one dollar…”
