A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 156
The summoned creature’s strike frozen in mid-air looked like a falling star that had been frozen solid.
Tesetan could only stare blankly at the Sorcerer King’s subsequent movements.
“No, no. The blood…!”
All attacks that had been pouring toward Tesetan had stopped.
The Sorcerer King was running toward him, breaking through the skeleton troops.
His urgent steps looked so precarious, as if he might trip over a stone at any moment.
Tesetan held his breath.
He could naturally tell.
At this moment, the Sorcerer King was not running to kill him.
His face was filled with terror.
His eyes were full of worry.
‘But why?’
It was strange.
The strike from moments ago had been the perfect opportunity for the Sorcerer King to end this duel.
It meant it was one of the few turning points where he could seize victory.
Yet he was throwing away such an opportunity with his own feet?
Showing weakness in front of an enemy?
Tesetan’s contemplation didn’t last long.
Unlike the Sorcerer King, he knew exactly what he had to do.
He lowered his arms that had been raised in a defensive stance.
And slowly rotated his wrist holding the sword.
“You’re insane.”
He charged toward the Sorcerer King who was running with his vital points completely exposed.
His second sword technique, honed and polished, was activated.
Kwaaaaang-!
Second sword technique, Fusion Blade.
A slash that caused both holy power and mana to rampage simultaneously, dealing fatal damage to the opponent.
“…Ah!”
As expected, his sword technique was blocked by the barrier surrounding the Sorcerer King.
However, that didn’t mean there was no gain.
The shockwave generated from the slash penetrated the barrier and was transmitted completely beyond it.
The Sorcerer King, hit by the wave, floated up into the air.
Knocked back, he fell heavily onto the gathered skeletons.
Several skeletons crumbled apart as the Sorcerer King’s body rolled across the ground.
The Agavert members each watched the scene speechlessly.
Tesetan also panted as he stared at the fallen Sorcerer King.
Had he fainted?
If so, his disguise should have been undone by now.
Why was his appearance still the same?
Was it because he had forcibly activated the sword technique?
Or was the bleeding severe due to the injury he had just sustained?
The more he speculated, the more color slowly drained from Tesetan’s face.
“What have you done! The duel was supposed to be an honorable fight! You bastard, you piece of trash, I’ll kill you-!”
One of the Sorcerer King’s subordinates screamed from afar.
If not for the Association’s secretary blocking his way, he would have surely run all the way to Tesetan.
‘An honorable fight…’
His ears felt distant at the voice that lingered like an afterimage.
Right.
Those words were correct.
A duel was an honorable fight.
It was right to restrain slashes that could harm the opponent’s life as much as possible.
If one was a swordsman, if one had honor as a swordsman, that’s how they should fight.
But he…
For some reason, trembling traveled up his arms.
‘I don’t have anything like honor.’
The paladin he once was had died long ago.
No, more than died, he had fallen into the deepest hell that existed in the world.
‘Do anything.’
The voice that would drag him to the hell of his past echoed in his ears once again.
A drop of sweat flowing down his forehead entered his eyes, causing stinging pain.
‘If you devoured Mother, then do anything.’
Mana and holy power surged explosively from his sword.
That rampaging power seemed to tell him this:
‘A mass of defects. Trash who pushed even an innocent mother into hell. Yet without even the courage to die, a useless child.’
Tesetan raised his gaze with vacant eyes.
He could vaguely see someone standing over there.
Valentis Luminen.
And Leonardo Luminen.
The family he had intentionally avoided.
‘Of all times.’
Why did he have to face Father and his brother on a day like today, of all days?
Tesetan had never hoped for luck in life.
Just as much as others.
No, even if it was less than them, he had hoped to be happy by chance just once.
But coincidence was only cruel to him.
Far from luck, it was only brutal like today.
His heart beat fiercely. Even deep breathing was useless.
The next moment, something surged up through Tesetan’s throat.
“D-Danzu!”
The executives shouted upon seeing the dark red blood.
But Tesetan himself watched his own bloodstains as if observing them, lost in deep thought.
‘Why am I coughing up blood?’
An ominous premonition slowly arose.
‘Could it be…’
The Sorcerer King was strong.
Strong enough to deflect Tesetan’s slash with just a single barrier.
And the Sorcerer King’s barrier was made of a mass of high-purity mana.
On the other hand, what about his slash?
His Fusion Blade was an unstable power that tightly compressed and fused mana and holy power.
A sword technique like cracked glass.
“Damn it…”
A brief murmur escaped his lips.
Tesetan dropped the sword from his hand.
It wasn’t a mistake.
Definitely, definitely something was wrong.
His heartbeat was abnormal, and the pain derived from it was unbearable.
If the situation continued like this, sword fighting was no longer the issue.
He raised his head.
And after spitting the blood that had pooled in his mouth onto the floor, he muttered.
“That’s enough. Go.”
The Sorcerer King’s two summons looked at him.
“Take her away. Quickly.”
He knew well the consequences that the increasingly violent pulsing of his heart would bring.
He had already experienced it once long ago.
He turned his head and commanded the Trevaga unit members as well.
“Get out of here. That’s an order.”
This pulsing cannot be stopped.
It’s a cursed power that even vaporized the saint who manifested the strongest holy power in history.
“Leader, surely you don’t mean…”
“Can’t you hear me? I said get out of here!”
He finally lost his composure.
Tesetan shouted without being able to look toward the Luminen Family.
“That’s an order! If you don’t want to die, everyone get lost!”
An unbearable pressure was felt in his head, then blood vessels in his eyes burst and his vision turned red.
The balance between holy power and magic power that he had maintained with difficulty was breaking.
He had expected something like this to happen someday, but why now of all times…
“If you stay here, everyone will… huk…!”
Tesetan staggered.
His ears gradually became muffled.
He stabbed his sword into the ground to avoid collapsing.
After taking rough breaths, he cast a shallow barrier around his body.
It was a pathetic barrier, but it would still be better than nothing.
If he was lucky, he might be able to save a few people who were far away.
Thump- Thump- Thump-
Feeling his increasingly violent heartbeat, Tesetan raised his head.
He could see the Sorcerer King lying collapsed like dead in the distance.
“Damn it…”
The Sorcerer King still had the appearance of a young child.
‘Ominously…’
In truth, Tesetan had been as good as defeated from the beginning.
The Sorcerer King’s magic power had completely shattered Tesetan’s ‘balance’ that had never been broken even once since losing his mother.
That meant the Sorcerer King had been much stronger than him from the start.
Incomparably so.
Tesetan let out a bitter smile without realizing it.
In the end, everything had originated from his own foolishness again.
He suddenly recalled what had happened just before.
The Sorcerer King who could have killed him but didn’t.
The expression on her face as she ran toward his injured form also flashed before his eyes.
No matter how much he reflected on it, it was incomprehensible behavior.
What was the real reason?
Why was she so lenient toward me?
Why does she look at me with those eyes?
When he discovered the Sorcerer King’s vital point, he hadn’t hesitated even a little.
The raging power within his body whispered.
‘You’re trash.’
Tesetan laughed while blood streamed from his mouth.
The power was right.
Tesetan was trash.
The most disgusting and revolting trash in the world.
He had trampled on the mercy the Sorcerer King had shown him and tried to thrust his blade into her neck without hesitation.
Was this the price for that sin?
“Ha…”
His stomach churned.
Along with the feeling of his organs being squeezed, his eyeballs felt numb as if they would pop out.
The surrounding floor was already cracking with crackling sounds.
It meant that the raging magic power had not only lost control but was beginning to burst outward.
Tesetan deliberately gripped the sword blade.
He felt like he would lose consciousness if he didn’t feel pain greater than the agony of the rampage.
Soon after, a thunderous roar covered the ruins.
The pain of his internal organs collapsing and tearing his flesh spread throughout his body.
The pain of the explosion felt like carving out each muscle of his entire body with a well-sharpened knife.
His vision turned white, and the breath he had barely been holding onto hung by a thread.
At that moment.
“…pa!”
The world swayed greatly, then someone urgently removed the blade from his hand.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the Sorcerer King’s face doubled in his blurred vision.
“Don’t… go! Don’t go!”
The Sorcerer King had broken through Tesetan’s barrier and was embracing his neck.
“Huuung, Tie did wrong…”
“…”
“Don’t leave Tie behind, please!”
Suddenly the pressure crushing Tesetan loosened.
Tesetan looked down in a daze.
The rampaging power was draining away.
Like an object finding its proper place, like a river flowing from top to bottom…
Toward the Sorcerer King.
