A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 157

 

Clouds embroider the blue sky above.

 

Feeling the wind brush past his ears, Tesetan opened his eyes.

 

‘…What is this?’

 

At the peak of a high mountain overlooking heaven and earth, he was facing a sight he had never seen before in his life.

 

“Magic?”

 

The sprawling city covering the land was large and massive. It couldn’t even be compared to the city of Talochium.

 

Where could this be?

 

He had traveled across the entire continent during his mercenary life, but he had never once seen such a spectacle…

 

“Wow, this is why we go mountain climbing!”

 

Suddenly, a rough voice was heard from beside him.

 

When he turned his head, people wearing strange clothes were bustling about and standing there.

 

Each carrying large backpacks on their backs, placing hands on their waists while making “hup! hup!” sounds and stretching their arms and legs.

 

On one side, someone was even banging their back against a tree…

 

‘Are they crazy people?’

 

As he was thinking, one of them suddenly looked at Tesetan.

 

“Wow, he’s so handsome he looks like an actor! Are you here for filming?”

 

At the approaching footsteps, Tesetan unconsciously stepped back.

 

But in the meantime, more people gathered around.

 

“How can his face be so interestingly handsome~ Are you filming ‘I Live Alone’? A rookie actor? Or a singer?”

 

“Cheolho’s mom. These days, foreigners like that~ come to our country to sing trot.”

 

“Oh my, that must be it! Young man, huh?”

 

The woman who was speaking paused. The orange band on her forehead fluttered.

 

“He’s not a young man!”

 

“Oh my my my!”

 

“Oh dear, how pretty!”

 

Tesetan flinched. Before he could stop them, the people closed the distance all at once.

 

However, their gazes were no longer directed at Tesetan.

 

“The child is young, so young! About two years old?”

 

For some reason, the people were looking over his shoulder with melting expressions.

 

“Oh dear, are you tired? Your eyes are just drooping with sleepiness. How can you be so pretty? When it’s time to marry you off later, daddy will cry tears of blood, child.”

 

“But why did they dress the child so coldly? Let me see, I have a blanket…”

 

Tesetan looked around tensely.

 

Then he suddenly realized that he had something wrapped around his upper body.

 

Not only that? He was supporting something behind his back with one hand.

 

As if he was holding something in place so it wouldn’t fall…

 

‘What is this.’

 

Suddenly, he felt a warm and soft sensation in his palm.

 

More precisely, it would be correct to say he had just ‘recognized’ that sensation.

 

“Daddy.”

 

A voice that made his heart sink was heard.

 

A young child’s voice full of sleepiness.

 

Something buried its face in Tesetan’s neck and nuzzled against him.

 

“Daddy, did we reach the mountain peak?”

 

“Oh my goodness! Look at the baby talking!”

 

“Baby, how old are you? What’s your name?”

 

Tesetan turned his head.

 

As expected.

 

He could see something gripping his shoulder.

 

Small, white hands.

 

On the back of the hands, a few strands of hair that sparkled like low-saturation golden thread were scattered.

 

“Hello, aunties.”

 

His heart began pounding.

 

Tesetan forced his frozen thoughts to work as he pondered.

 

‘What is this?’

 

Why am I carrying a child on my back?

 

And who is this kid, no, who are these people that keep calling me daddy?

 

“Baby, did you come mountain climbing with daddy?”

 

“Yes. But babies get sore legs from mountain climbing, so daddy carried me up.”

 

“How can you speak so well! Who taught you to talk?”

 

“Daddy and the Chae and Bok grandmothers from next door taught me.”

 

“Oh my! You even know how to address adults respectfully? But in that case, you should say Grandmother Chae and Grandmother Bok.”

 

“…Yes!”

 

Tesetan turned his head even more.

 

Finally, white, round cheeks came into his peripheral vision.

 

Just as he swallowed and was about to check the remaining facial features.

 

“Danzu!”

 

Someone slapped his cheek hard.

 

Tesetan’s eyes snapped open.

 

Curly red hair swayed right in front of his nose.

 

“Are you coming to your senses? You’re crazy, crazy, really!”

 

“…Livia.”

 

Tesetan groaned as he tried to sit up. His whole body ached as if he had been beaten by something.

 

“What happened?”

 

He quickly looked around.

 

Low ceiling.

 

The sound of fabric fluttering from all directions.

 

“Danzu. We almost had a disaster. Because of the rampage…”

 

At Aleric’s words, Tesetan closed his mouth.

 

The dream he had just had faded, and the events just before he collapsed quickly flashed through his mind.

 

‘You’re insane.’

 

After a prolonged battle, he finally landed an effective blow on the Commander King,

 

‘You bastard, you piece of trash, I’ll kill you-!’

 

The Agavert Members were enraged.

 

After that, the rampage occurred…

 

‘Don’t leave Tie behind, please!’

 

Tesetan suddenly got up from his seat.

 

“Danzu! Where are you going?!”

 

Aleric followed, but Tesetan hurriedly put on his shoes and said.

 

“We’re still at the ruins, right?”

 

“…That’s correct. But why…”

 

“Don’t follow me.”

 

Tesetan strode toward the exit of the barracks.

 

The only thought in his head was that he needed to meet the Commander King immediately.

 

However.

 

“…!”

 

The moment he opened the door, Tesetan had no choice but to stop in place. Someone was blocking the front of the barracks.

 

A massive and sturdy body.

 

An expression hardened with anger and a giant war hammer gripped tightly in one hand.

 

“You look well. It seems your body has already recovered.”

 

Basto looked down at Tesetan.

 

Tesetan, who had been meeting his gaze, soon spat out threateningly.

 

“Move aside.”

 

But Basto just chuckled and narrowed his brow menacingly.

 

“No.”

 

Veins bulged on Tesetan’s forehead.

 

Should he just beat him down?

 

At that moment.

 

“May I ask where you were heading?”

 

This time, a gentle voice came from below his line of sight.

 

When he lowered his head, he saw an elder with white hair looking at him while leaning on a staff.

 

As Tesetan frowned, Nordics continued speaking.

 

“Were you perhaps going to meet Astie?”

 

Astie.

 

Tesetan’s expression became blank at the Commander King’s real name.

 

Nordics naturally patted his shoulder.

 

“The Commander King is unconscious right now. If it’s alright, I’d like you to spare some time.”

 

Tesetan stared intently at Nordics.

 

Then he soon cursed and stepped aside.

 

Inside the barracks after sending out all the unit members.

 

“I was a bit surprised. Such a rampage… You must have suffered a lot during this time.”

 

Tesetan coldly raised his head.

 

He continued speaking while touching the surface of the bandages wrapped around his hands.

 

“Stay out of my business. It’s none of your concern.”

 

However, there was no change in Nordics’ benevolent expression.

 

He smiled faintly instead and replied.

 

“How could it not be our concern? Everyone nearly died because of your rampage.”

 

Tesetan closed his mouth.

 

Nordics added peacefully.

 

“If it weren’t for Astie, everyone really would have died.”

 

Tesetan clenched his fists tightly. Blood seeped from his cut wounds, staining the bandages red.

 

“Our leader absorbed all of your magical power.”

 

Nordics said.

 

His faded eyes were now meeting Tesetan’s gaze directly.

 

“From your body that was rampaging with mixed magical and holy power. It means he cleanly extracted only all the magical power.”

 

“…What?”

 

Suddenly, he recalled the moment when the rampage subsided.

 

The Commander King clinging to him while crying.

 

At the same time, he felt the power that had been trapped inside his body, ready to explode, being released.

 

It wasn’t a forceful power like sorcery or prohibition. It was a natural movement, like water flowing or wind blowing.

 

“Why did you insist on the duel?”

 

Nordics’ voice pulled Tesetan’s consciousness back.

 

Tesetan raised his gaze, unable to hide his confused expression.

 

“I know you’re ambitious. But I can hardly understand taking such a gamble because of that ambition.”

 

Nordics remained calm as always.

 

“Of course, it’s something to be happy about that both of you had no life-threatening injuries despite such a fight.”

 

“Does that mean the Commander King is fine?”

 

Nordics nodded.

 

“He hasn’t woken up yet, but yes.”

 

“…I really need to meet him.”

 

Tesetan stood up from his seat again.

 

But this time too, Basto blocked his path.

 

“We’re not done talking yet.”

 

Basto glared at Tesetan and continued.

 

“It was a duel where everything was at stake. The result is that you lost.”

 

He stared at Tesetan’s right wrist where the covenant ring was still attached.

 

“When are you going to disband?”

 

“….”

 

“Your mercenary group, I mean.”
