A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 185
“Hey.”
“….”
“Hey!”
At the hand tapping his shoulder, Aleric snapped back to his senses.
When he turned his head, there was Livia looking at him with exasperated eyes.
“Get it together, the siege is about to start. Hey?!”
“…Ha.”
Aleric rubbed his face.
He was still in shock from what had happened just moments ago.
“Has Danzu startling people been going on for just a day or two? You should be used to it by now.”
Livia grumbled as she adjusted Aleric’s robe for him.
Aleric looked down at her quietly and said.
“He must have trained for at least 30 years, right?”
When Livia looked up, Aleric continued in a serious voice.
“At first, I thought he must have trained for at least 50 years. But no matter how I look at it, he doesn’t feel that old.”
Livia made a humming sound.
“What are you talking about? I think he’s actually quite old.”
“…What’s your evidence?”
“He’s too innocent and has too many openings.”
“Then shouldn’t you think the opposite?”
Livia clicked her tongue.
“Hey. Obviously all of that is calculated behavior! So going even further, I’d say he’s eighty, no, at least ninety years old.”
“…You think he’s that old?”
“Aleric, this is why you don’t get it. Haven’t you seen how Danzu charms the Elders?”
“….”
“The Factory Manager too, and look how he sticks close to old man Nordics. Wherever he goes, he gets along especially well with old people.”
“….”
“That’s all because, you know? It’s possible because he’s dealing with peers. He knows because he’s around that age too.”
Confusion crossed Aleric’s expression.
“Is that so…?”
After pondering for a while, he briefly shook his head to dispel his thoughts.
“Anyway, let’s do our best today without getting hurt, okay?”
At Livia’s words, Aleric let out a weak sigh and stood up.
“Aleric, Livia.”
Victor approached from a distance with quick steps.
“The sun has set. It’s started.”
The siege site that would mark the finale of this national commission.
Monsters were pouring out from the Clock Tower of the Royal Palace.
However, exactly 12 hours after the siege began.
Whizz- Bang!
A red flare burst under the dim moonlight.
“Support request from the north!”
A scout’s horse quickly passed through the battlefield.
Basto, who had been smashing a medium-sized monster’s head with his warhammer, straightened his back.
“Huff, huff….”
Rough breathing was already escaping from his mouth.
“Damn it, why won’t this end!”
A little distance away, Veil also wiped the blood splattered on his face.
The siege that was expected to finish within six hours showed no signs of ending even as dawn broke.
“At this rate, we won’t finish today?! Do we have to do this again tomorrow?!”
Hearing Veil’s shout, Basto gripped his weapon tightly.
“Danzu! Left side! Huh?! They’re coming from the right too!”
Meanwhile, behind where Basto and Veil were standing.
There, Tie was being held by Livia while hurling fireballs at monsters.
“Hiyah…!”
Tie showed off new special moves against the monsters with a spirited expression.
Each time, the brown bear doll spun around the child with its eyes glowing bright red.
But Basto could see it.
‘This is bad.’
The fact that Tie’s strength was greatly depleted.
Well, of course.
Even he was starting to run out of stamina at this point.
There was no way four-year-old Tie, who had been fighting monsters all night without sleep, could be okay.
He stared ahead with a troubled expression.
Huge cracks were still visible around the Clock Tower.
By now, the number of monsters should have decreased and the cracks should have closed.
The Mastone wrapped around the Clock Tower was still intact.
“At this rate, we’re really going to die! When will this end!”
Hearing Veil’s shout, Basto turned his head.
He took a breath and answered.
“Just hold on a little longer! Dawn will break soon anyway!”
Once the sun began to rise, the monsters would return to the cracks.
Of course, that would mean they’d have to continue the siege again tomorrow evening, but at this moment, everyone desperately needed rest.
‘The Paladin Order seems to be barely holding on too.’
His face darkened once more as he looked up at the flare.
‘This won’t work after all.’
Basto changed his mind and turned toward Tie.
As if the sun was about to rise, a gentle blue light was now swirling in the sky.
“Veil, I’m falling back! I need to take Tie to the rear after all!”
Veil nodded.
Basto started running toward Tie.
“Hammer!”
Just then, Tie, who spotted Basto, waved her hand while sweating profusely.
“Yeah, Tie, wait there!”
But at that moment.
Thoom-
The giant vines wrapped around the Clock Tower suddenly vibrated greatly.
Basto faced the rising sun and slowly opened his mouth.
Under the morning light.
The cracks were opening even wider.
“This can’t be….”
The disaster that had taken his family long ago.
The misfortune that occurred only once or twice a year, whose true nature remained unconfirmed.
“Why…!”
The Day of Destruction was unfolding before the Members at this very moment.
“Tie!”
But being speechless from shock was only momentary.
“Huh?! Wha…!”
The vibration flowing from the Mastone covered the ground, and the floor began to shake.
“No-!”
“Child!”
The next moment, Livia and Tie’s figures were obscured by dust clouds.
The floor where the two had been standing collapsed, and Livia, Aleric, and Tie were falling into a deep pit.
“Astie!”
Basto threw down his weapon and leaped forward.
But debris falling from the clock tower landed in front of him, blocking his path.
Basto froze in place with a pale face.
In the dusty field of vision.
Someone could be seen belatedly throwing themselves into the pit.
It was Tesetan.
“…Li, Aunt Livia.”
In the darkness, Tie urgently shook Livia.
Around them was a barrier that had barely been activated, surrounding them.
Collapsed stone chunks were piled up all around.
“Aunt!”
Tie shook Livia again.
But she didn’t move at all.
When Tie took her hands off Livia, bright red blood stained her palms.
“What do I do…!”
The child’s face was suddenly filled with terror.
Tie got up and ran to Aleric, who was a little distance away.
“Uncle Aleric! Aunt Livia is…!”
But Aleric was also unconscious.
Tears finally welled up in Tie’s eyes.
“If only Tie had cast the barrier faster…!”
The moment they fell into the pit.
When the ground gave way beneath their feet, Livia had held onto Tie tightly above all else.
If she had let go of Tie and run elsewhere, she might not have been hurt.
It was Aleric who had tried to catch the falling Livia.
That’s how all three ended up trapped together.
No, I need to pull myself together.
Tie bit her lip and raised her head.
And habitually reached toward her shoulder.
But.
“My preschool bag is gone…!”
Tie’s bag that she always carried was nowhere to be found.
The strap must have come off during the fall into the pit.
“Ppupppu! Marul!”
Tie cried out desperately.
But no one answered in the space covered in darkness.
That wasn’t all.
“My subordinates too…”
She wanted to create subordinates to get even a little light, but perhaps due to overexertion from the prolonged siege, her magic wasn’t working well.
In short, at this moment, Tie was struggling just to maintain the barrier.
That’s when it happened.
“…Cough!”
The sound of rough breathing came from Livia’s direction.
Tie jumped up and ran to Livia again.
“Aunt Livia-!”
“Da, Danzu.”
Livia opened her eyes faintly and looked at Tie with pale lips.
“I, I think I’m in big trouble.”
Tie lowered her trembling gaze.
For some reason, Livia was holding her right side.
“I, I think something…”
“Don’t look.”
At that moment, the pile of rocks behind Livia collapsed and someone rushed between the two.
Tears welled up in Tie’s eyes once more.
“Fa, Re, Regent…”
It was Father.
Tesetan instantly embraced Tie and covered the child’s head with his hand.
As if trying to prevent her from seeing Livia.
In the darkness, along with the pounding heartbeat, came Livia’s breathing that seemed ready to stop at any moment.
Tesetan spoke in a tense voice.
“First, breathe, Livia.”
“Huff, gasp…”
“Slowly.”
His gaze was directed toward Livia’s side.
Specifically, at the forearm-sized stone fragment that had mercilessly pierced through that spot.
