A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 244
The first to rush to the fallen Lucalion was Livia.
She shook the body of Lucalion, who had collapsed unconscious.
“Monster! Wake up!”
But no matter how much she called, Lucalion couldn’t wake up.
Livia looked around with trembling eyes.
The vines that densely filled the walls were still growing at this very moment.
Inside the room, some kind of intense energy could be felt.
“What do we do? Should we call a physician or not?!”
Veil urged Tesetan.
However, Tesetan only stood frozen in place.
His gaze moved to the child in his arms.
Golden energy was still emanating from around Tie’s heart.
It was in a state much stronger than before.
“The child’s head is burning hot! Someone go get a wet towel!”
The bustling voices became distant in his ears.
The golden eyes he had seen in Jongno-gu came to mind.
‘From the moment I sprouted, this was my place.’
The World Tree.
From the moment he directly faced that existence, he had suspected it.
The fact that the World Tree, thought to have disappeared due to corruption, had taken root inside his daughter.
The problem, however, lay elsewhere.
‘Because I didn’t know why or how such a thing had happened.’
Tesetan had pondered for a long time.
What was the reason the World Tree, which should have been sleeping in Roxe Forest, had taken root in Tie’s heart?
What had the World Tree traveled on and how had it come?
Why on earth had it chosen his daughter, chosen Tie?
Naturally, no answers came.
There was ultimately only one way to solve all his questions.
‘Going directly to Roxe Forest in the Central Continent.’
And confirming the World Tree with his own eyes.
“Regent! Lay the young lady down here!”
“Child, why are you sick and causing trouble again…!”
“Lord Veil! What should we do about Lord Lucalion and Lord Ppupppu? They seem to be unconscious…”
The unit members busily moved around him.
Tesetan blankly watched the scene of Livia laying Tie on the bed.
The child was so small that she couldn’t even fill one side of the bed.
Whooom-
At that moment, he suddenly felt strong pressure in his ears.
Tesetan, who handled divine power, could tell.
The enormous force that filled the entire stronghold.
“…Baby, baby.”
Ardiana knelt beside the bed.
She was looking at Tie with tears welling up in her eyes.
Tesetan squeezed his eyes shut.
‘…What should I do?’
The unit members said they should call a physician.
But what Tie needed wasn’t a physician.
The reason the child couldn’t wake up wasn’t due to illness or injury.
The vines covering the room and the divine power filling the stronghold proved that.
Tesetan opened his eyes.
It was the moment he, having decided something, took a step toward Ardiana and Tie.
[Squawk-!]
A strange sound came from beneath his feet.
Looking down, something was struggling under his foot.
“Marbas?”
[M-Master’s father! My foot, my foot-!]
Tesetan moved his foot.
As if he had narrowly escaped death, Marbas gasped for breath.
[My head almost broke! I barely escaped from domination, only to nearly get crushed to death as soon as I came out!]
Marbas bounced and leaned against one of the bed legs.
The next moment, his surroundings flashed with light.
Someone unfamiliar revealed themselves where Marbas had been.
“Everyone listen carefully! We’re all in big trouble!”
Snow-white skin.
Curly brown hair and an appearance that looked to be in the early teens.
“Lord Lucalion and Lord Ppupppu have been bound! That being, that terrifying absolute being is trying to absorb our master entirely!”
Lion ears twitched on top of Marbas’s head.
“Sob, only I was able to escape…! In that process, my memories were reorganized! I remembered who I was, and who Lord Lucalion and Lord Ppupppu were!”
Marbas stood up from his spot.
“I don’t know how to explain it, but our master always said so. In the world where our master lived, there was a saying ‘seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times’!”
He gulped.
“Hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once! Fortunately, I absorbed a lot of power while escaping domination.”
Red light gleamed in Marbas’s eyes.
Strange rays began gathering around him.
“Target, multiple objects. Projection radius 20 steps. Convert to visual reproduction waveform. Deploy circuit!”
Simultaneously, the surroundings flashed and changed.
“Seraldin has been corrupted, Mother.”
It was a memory from very long ago.
Marbas confirmed that his spell had started successfully and let out a sigh of relief.
He could feel the minds of all the unit members in the room connected to the intricately designed circuit.
‘It worked!’
This way, all the members of Agabelt could observe everything he recalled from now on.
Marbas moved his consciousness and looked toward where the voice had come from.
“She too eventually became a Mastone. Though she concentrated her mind at the last moment to seal herself in the deep sea… someday she will rise to the surface.”
The speaker was a tall man with flowing silver hair.
His name was Krazaru.
The one called ‘Ppupppu’ by Astie today.
“Today, even I find it difficult to suppress the rampage. Whether I open or close my eyes, it whispers in a sweet voice. To kill, to cut down anything…”
Below his robes, Krazaru could be seen gripping a longsword.
At the end of the sword hilt, a small wooden doll was dangling.
Marbas felt a strange sensation.
‘That’s me…’
Marbas was originally a spirit under Krazaru’s command.
He had been recognized by Krazaru for his excellent magical engineering knowledge, but in the final moment, he had become too greedy.
‘I gave humans spellbooks, techniques, and knowledge that should never have been given to them.’
The result was naturally not good.
Because Krazaru had directly sealed Marbas in the wooden doll.
The moment he thought that far.
[…It is my fault.]
A voice flowed out from Something that was across from Krazaru.
A giant tree large enough to cover the entire sky was swaying, having lost several branches.
[I underestimated him as merely a mortal. I thought that no matter how much he soared and crawled, he could not go against me. But that mortal eventually became the Pope.]
“….”
[Now even I cannot easily oppose him, my son.]
Krazaru’s face darkened.
[The Grand Wardens will be executed. I saw a future where one of them betrays. Soon, light will disappear from this land.]
The wind blowing through the broken branches made a whooshing sound.
It sounded like someone crying in grief.
[My children have become mastones. Life devours life, Krazaru. I am now….]
The air of Roxe Forest was already thick with pollution.
Luciano had betrayed the World Tree, and the World Tree, who had been off guard, had most of her power stolen by him.
“Is there no remaining method…?”
Krazaru’s voice trembled.
The tree rustled with a swishing sound.
[…No. Just one thing. There is one remaining path.]
“What is it?”
[A great power condensed from my life force. To plant a new seed.]
Krazaru’s brow furrowed.
“A new seed, you say? But Luciano’s power has already covered all the land. To find a new sanctuary is too….”
[Not the land, Krazaru. My seed will take root within a human.]
Krazaru’s eyes widened.
[Ardiana, the Princess of Taranta. The being that will be born from her body in the future. That being is where I will sprout, Krazaru.]
Bright light began to seep out from between the World Tree’s thick trunk.
The light condensed to a single point and stopped in front of Krazaru.
[That child is of Saint Eleonora’s bloodline. At the same time, she is also a being who will inherit magical power from her father. There is no being more suitable than her to become my next root.]
The condensed light.
The World Tree’s seed settled into Krazaru’s hand.
[Deliver that to Terasil, my second child who governs the earth. Then Terasil will plant it in Ardiana in the basement of the Royal Palace.]
“….”
[Then in the future, the moment that child is born from Ardiana’s body.]
“….”
[I can take root again.]
