A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 155
The smoothly split mist lost its form and flowed down.
The sight resembled blood flowing from a monster torn in half.
“So you were hiding there.”
Tesetan, who pulsed his sword energy again, muttered.
His gaze was directed at Astie, who had revealed himself through the mist.
Tesetan gripped his sword anew and took an attacking stance once more.
Valentis tensed his legs, preparing to leap forward.
Originally, interfering in others’ sword fights was taboo.
But he couldn’t let Tesetan harm Astie.
Kagagagang-!
However, before Valentis could step forward.
Tesetan’s sword strike that had gathered in the air scattered futilely.
Something entered Valentis’s field of vision as he followed the situation.
Above Astie’s head.
Astie’s summoned creature that had neutralized Tesetan’s attack was floating there.
[Now’s the time!]
When Lucalion shouted, a fierce gust blew along the barrier surrounding Tie.
The cloak fluttered, repeatedly hiding and revealing the child’s face.
Dark energy began to ripple beneath Astie’s feet.
The energy instantly covered the ruins, then suddenly seeped into the ground all at once.
Kugugugugugu-
The ground vibrated as dirt flew up.
The army that only the Sorcerer King could summon, the dead, revealed themselves.
However, their appearance differed from what had been rumored until now.
A slight tension also appeared in Tesetan’s eyes.
‘Is it because this place is ruins?’
The first skeleton in his sight was holding something strange in one arm.
Probably an artifact that had been sleeping in the ruins for a thousand years.
It was a rod, a magical tool that activated ancient magic.
Bang! Bang-!
When the skeleton swung the rod, a mass of magical power flew toward Tesetan.
At the same time, the rest of the skeleton army also began rushing at Tesetan all at once.
Tesetan continued swinging his sword.
His sword strikes extended in the form of blade energy, felling dozens of skeletons.
But it was useless.
Kugugugu-
The skeletons that had disappeared beneath the dirt were restored to perfect condition and appeared again.
Bang! Kwagwagwang-!
From the sky, giant fireballs continued pouring down relentlessly.
Among the skeletons, those holding rods were mages.
Moreover, their magic was quite advanced.
Though most were element-based magic, the tightly operated spells were quite sophisticated, making it hard to find weaknesses.
Meanwhile.
Tie endured the magical power reverberating through her entire body and brought her hands together.
She was out of breath as if she had entered hot water and was forcing herself to endure it.
However, it was still insufficient.
Standing within Lucalion’s barrier, Tie watched Father moving at an unbelievable speed.
The words that he was the strongest in this world were not lies.
Father was truly strong.
Stronger than Uncle Basto, stronger than Brother Veil.
No, he was stronger than all of them combined.
Tie amplified her magical power even more.
And she let the surging power move as it pleased.
As if it had been waiting for just that, magical power began being sucked down to her feet like a waterfall.
It felt like standing on top of a giant bathtub with the drain wide open.
The earth vibrated while absorbing Tie’s overflowing magical power.
Spirits from the surroundings began gathering in the sky.
[An enemy.]
[Protect the master.]
[Follow orders.]
The spirits’ characteristic monologues rang in her ears.
Everything around was rapidly freezing from the cold air they emitted.
‘Father…’
Tie prayed while putting strength into her shivering body.
With her eyes, she stared at Tesetan so as not to miss anything.
But there wasn’t even a trace of confusion on Tesetan’s face as he stood at the opposite point.
“You do more interesting things than the rumors suggest.”
Tesetan, who had swept away the skeleton that rushed at him in one blow, swung his sword in a circle.
Golden holy power gathered in ring form, then exploded in a brief moment.
Kwagwang-!
Several skeletons standing in front of Tie staggered from the debris scattered like thorns.
Shattered bones poured down onto the floor with a clatter.
The rods they had been holding were the same.
Tie felt that the number of skeleton voices coming from underground had decreased.
The damage received this time was quite significant.
It meant it would be difficult for the bone friends to regenerate their bodies again.
[This won’t do.]
Ppupppu muttered from the side.
Ppupppu was in human form, glaring at Tesetan with displeasure.
Rising into the sky, he spoke to Lucalion who was activating the barrier.
[Lizard. You saw that guy’s sword strikes, right? There’s a weakness.]
Red mist wrapped around his tall body and fluttered like a robe.
[The problem is that his sword energy is stronger than the sword itself.]
Ppupppu stretched both hands forward.
Red spheres gathered above his palms, forming a giant vortex.
[Once he unleashes a slash, that guy’s sword falls into a brief silent state. Probably for self-regeneration.]
Ppupppu’s gaze sharpened.
[I will trap that guy in subspace again.]
He stared at Lucalion with arrogant eyes.
[After my subspace is cut, you strike when the villain falls into the silent state.]
Lucalion, who seemed to be thinking, nodded his head.
Ppupppu didn’t drag out the time long.
He immediately spread the subspace in net form and poured it toward Tesetan without hesitation.
Tesetan flinched at the giant vortex covering him from the sky.
Of course, the disturbance was brief.
Tesetan concentrated his mind and opened his mind’s eye again.
Then he flexibly swung his sword and cut through the subspace without much trouble.
But there was something he had overlooked.
“…!”
Beyond the subspace split in half.
Things he hadn’t been able to see were revealed.
Strange condensed light was pouring down like arrows on a battlefield.
“Danzu-! Please dodge!”
Tesetan’s eyes widened.
Beyond the strike, he could see the black form that was the source of the light.
That thing, which resembled the legendary young dragon in appearance, was the Commander King’s summoned creature.
The being that had deflected all of his attacks throughout the entire sword fight.
‘A summoned creature’s power is at this level?’
A hollow laugh escaped him involuntarily.
No matter what, he couldn’t deny that the Commander King was strong.
The Commander King’s summoned creature also possessed destructive power that far exceeded expectations.
That unidentified light would shatter Tesetan to pieces and still have power left over.
With high probability, it would deal him a fatal wound.
Tesetan quickly twisted his body to avoid the bombardment.
However, that wasn’t all of it.
At the last moment, one remaining attack struck his shoulder hard.
“Urgh…!”
Tesetan, swallowing his groan, rolled heavily across the floor.
Red blood gushed from the shoulder he was clutching.
His vision grew distant from the pain that felt like his arm was being severed.
Tesetan bit the flesh inside his mouth and raised his head.
Then, with a crooked smile, he barely managed to say.
“This much is, laughable.”
Enduring pain was something he had done to the point of tedium.
Now it had become as natural as breathing, no longer surprising.
So the problem lay elsewhere.
Even after delivering such a strike, the Commander King’s summoned creature still had power to spare and was beginning to prepare a second attack.
Tesetan concentrated his holy power on his shoulder to stop the bleeding while falling into thought.
‘I can dodge this time too.’
At least some of them, that is.
But the remainder he couldn’t dodge would deal damage to his body.
‘…Not very good.’
He was already in an injured state.
If he got hurt any more, the bleeding would become more severe.
Moreover, he had already exhausted more stamina than expected.
In the end, there was only one solution.
Tesetan’s jaw tensed.
‘Round and round, it’s another breakthrough battle.’
Standing on the edge of survival, a fight where he had to bet on how much he could endure with willpower alone.
At the end of his gaze, the Commander King standing alone came into view.
The Commander King had been standing in the same position throughout the entire battle.
Even for the strongest necromancer, initiating such magic seemed burdensome, as his eyes were tightly shut.
Tesetan thought.
‘There’s no choice.’
He would dodge the summoned creature’s attacks as much as possible.
The rest he would take on non-vital areas as much as possible.
His left arm would become rags, but he just needed to save his right arm.
Then he would somehow be able to swing his sword.
If he did that, even the monster-like Commander King would eventually face his limits.
Anyway, there was no retreat in this sword fight.
If he left the Commander King as he was, Trevaga would fall.
The fall of Trevaga was something he could never accept, even if it meant death.
The summoned creature’s attack was fired.
At the same time, the Commander King also opened his eyes.
Tesetan deliberately didn’t avoid their meeting gaze.
Because he wanted to let the Commander King know.
How he had survived until now.
How tenacious and persistent he could be.
How dirty and desperate he could become to survive.
But what happened next was completely unexpected.
“…No!”
Seeing the strike his own summoned creature was unleashing, the Commander King cried out in a terror-stricken voice.
“Lucalion! Stop!”
At the same time, the summoned creature’s attack that had been fired toward Tesetan stopped in midair.
