Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

Episode 89: Partner (9)

[Depth: 550.24 m]

Yeorum did not want to appear childish.

What happened before was because she had been too emotional – she wasnt in the right state of mind back then. So she had to stop acting like a child now but…

It wasnt her intention to tightly grip onto Yu Jitaes hand. Her hand was doing so on its own accord.

The surroundings became narrower.

Water molecules intertwining as hooks physically blocked light and began to block mana on top of that as they drew deeper in. And as the walls of darkness closed in, the visibility that had been 5 metres before was now as little as 2 metres.

His will was conveyed over the touching hands.

‘Do not kick your legs too much now.

‘We are in the flow. The current will bring us down there on its own.

‘No need to get anxious.

That was what his message roughly meant.

He must have felt her anxiety through the touch. Maybe she should let go of his hand…

Why are you holding my hand so tightly?

Oh my, do you like my hand that much?

…For her to say that, it was obvious that she was the one holding tightly onto his hand.

The reason was simple. The dense condensation of water-attributed mana made her body chilly as if she was buried in snow naked, and Yu Jitaes hand was the only source of warmth. It was like touching a warmer in winter and it was thus hard to let go.

…What a joke.

Make up a better excuse next time.

Coward bitch.

Although she didnt want to admit it, she knew the truth. The anxiety was making it impossible for her to let go of his hand.

[Depth: 648.99 m]

The visibility was now only 1 metre.

Walls of darkness nearing in from all sides enveloped her. Yeorum felt her heart thumping loud and clear, and felt as if the surroundings would suddenly devour her.

Ahh, I want to leave… wasnt it around here that I felt the same thing last time?

It was then. Her body suddenly craved for air. Her diaphragm spasmed but she couldnt crouch her body, so she closed her eyes and used her other hand to block her mouth and nose.

It was cold and excruciating. Her body shivered.

Guess what Ill do when I go back?

Im never turning the lights off again at night…

It was around this point that a portion of Yu Jitaes upper body was devoured by the darkness, no longer visible. But his will was occasionally transmitted over the clasped hands. Are you alright? Is it hard? Are you using your mana well? He showed concern for her.

Yu Jitae wouldnt be able to see it no matter what expression she made now, so she drew a circle at the back of his hand with her thumb.

How could Yu Jitae be so fine…?

I can tell its cold for him as well though?

I can also feel his heart being stifled and his diaphragm contracting .

So why isnt he in pain?

Why are you pretending to be tough…

[Depth: 700 m]

A visibility of around 50 centimetres. It was here that Yeorum had given up before.

A lot of things were devoured by the darkness. Looking down, she couldnt even see her legs and over half of Yu Jitaes body was also unable to be seen.

Yeorum gulped. Fortunately, she could still hear the sound happening inside her body despite the surrounding silence. She pointlessly tapped her teeth one by one with her tongue.
