A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 246
Agavert Outpost.
The beam of light shooting from Marbas’s eyes disappeared with a crackling sound.
At the same time, focus gradually returned to the eyes of everyone in the room.
Ardiana collapsed onto the floor with a thud.
“No, that can’t be, that can’t be possible.”
Even when Tesetan had told her in the Imperial Palace garden, she hadn’t believed it.
In truth, she hadn’t wanted to believe it.
“Why! Why…”
As she squeezed her eyes shut, tears fell drop by drop onto the white bedsheet.
“Why does it have to be my daughter…”
The World Tree was an absolute being.
She was also the only existence capable of stopping the current Mastone crisis.
At that moment.
Tesetan walked past Ardiana, striding purposefully toward somewhere.
He was heading straight for Marbas.
“Who is Terasil? Tell me.”
“Eek! M-Master’s father! Why are you doing this!”
At Tesetan’s murderous expression, Marbas let out a shriek and backed away.
The lion ears on his head flattened back completely.
Tesetan continued speaking.
“The World Tree said when she entrusted the seed to Krazaar. To deliver it to Terasil. Then Terasil would plant the seed in Ardiana, and it would be passed on to Tie.”
“That’s right. Everything you saw is correct!”
“So where is this bastard Terasil now!”
Livia and Aleric flinched.
Though they had spent years together, this was the first time they’d seen Tesetan lose his reason and become so enraged.
Marbas also seemed to understand the gravity of the situation as he raised both palms toward Tesetan.
“F-first, please calm down. I understand what you’re thinking!”
Tesetan gritted his teeth.
Marbas spoke with his ears trembling violently.
“As you just said, it was indeed Lord Terasil who planted the seed. So he might know how to extract the seed again.”
Ardiana shot up from her position.
A glimmer of hope also appeared in the eyes of Veil and Basto, who had been silent.
However, the words that followed were something no one had expected.
“…If only Lord Terasil hadn’t been annihilated.”
Tesetan’s mouth closed.
For several seconds, silence filled the room so complete that not even breathing could be heard.
“Terasil was annihilated?”
Marbas raised his frightened gaze.
In his boy form, he fidgeted with his hands.
“The vine Mastone in the Royal Palace. Do you remember…?”
Tesetan’s pupils dilated.
The vine Mastone in the Royal Palace.
How could he forget that?
He had besieged that Mastone not once, but twice.
The first time was before his regression.
Before Lucalion’s time magic had been activated.
Agavert didn’t exist in the world, and Tie hadn’t been born yet.
He had approached the siege as Commander of Trevaga.
And he had fought desperately against the tentacles in the basement of the Royal Palace alongside Ardiana.
But during that battle, Ardiana had been exposed to toxic mana.
‘Don’t come closer!’
‘Bring the unit members! If you get consumed too, it’s over!’
Ardiana was dying.
Mana covered her entire body, and Tesetan instinctively knew.
If he left her behind, that moment might be their last together.
‘But there was no other way.’
They needed reinforcements.
Just finding the Heart of the Mana Stone hidden in the basement was a great achievement, so they had to destroy it somehow.
“I remember too.”
Ardiana murmured beside him.
She seemed to be recalling the synchronized memories from that time.
“You went to the surface first. And I…”
Her face contorted slightly.
The pain that had covered her entire body.
Her skin gradually turning dark red and the mana endlessly flowing from the Heart of the Mana Stone.
“I thought it was the end.”
She was certain she would die, that’s what she thought.
But then something unbelievable happened.
Ardiana raised her head.
“There was something, Tesetan.”
Her blue eyes trembled finely with anxiety.
“Something came out of the heart. And when it pierced into my heart as if seeping in…”
Ardiana’s lips moved slightly.
“The mana drained away. My whole body had definitely been consumed. It had risen to my chin, making it hard to even breathe properly.”
Tesetan clenched his fists tightly.
Now he thought he understood.
What Marbas was trying to explain.
Tesetan asked in a trembling voice.
“That vine Mastone. Those tentacles that Ardiana finished off… was that Terasil?”
Marbas’s gaze darkened.
After a long moment, he nodded weakly.
“That’s correct. Lord Terasil ultimately couldn’t avoid going berserk either.”
He looked toward the bed with a dejected expression.
There lay Tie, Lucalion, and Ppupppu, unconscious and sleeping peacefully.
“But he still held onto his final mission. That’s why even without consciousness, he pushed his heart into Master’s mother.”
Ardiana staggered in her position.
“As you already know, Master was born safely in that timeline. The seed also naturally transferred from the mother to Master. Originally, the seed should have remained safely in Talochium. When the time came, the absolute being should have been reborn within Master.”
But there was a problem.
“Talochium’s situation regarding imperial power wasn’t good. Because of that, Master was entrusted to a mercenary group rather than staying by his mother’s side. It was also a variable that Lord Krazaar had already become a monster. Of course, Lord Lucalion was there, but he was barely maintaining his sanity…”
It was a paradoxical situation.
The World Tree’s seed had safely taken root within Tie, but there weren’t enough people to protect the child.
Meanwhile, the Pope was chillingly clever.
He instinctively realized that the World Tree was planning something different.
Then he fiercely pursued Lucalion and the World Tree’s other servants.
To leave no room for even the smallest counterattack.
“In the end, one variable gave birth to another variable. At Elderin Plains, in that ravine.”
Marbas’s eyes gleamed.
The scenery of that day that Tesetan remembered unfolded before everyone.
‘Kieeeeek-!’
Lucalion was on the verge of going berserk.
He was just about to annihilate Trevaga and kill both Tesetan and Tie.
But the World Tree’s seed was absolute.
At the last moment, Lucalion recognized what was breathing within Tie’s chest.
‘Master…?’
An existence to be obeyed.
The power that kept him alive.
A new destiny to replace the uprooted World Tree.
However, it was already too late, and the situation was dire.
From across the ravine, pursuers sent by the Pope were swarming in.
‘The tree’s energy…’
‘Find it.’
‘Find it and track it to the end.’
Lucalion had no choice.
If even Tie fell into the Pope’s grasp, the world would end.
He had to devise a method.
How could they escape while avoiding the pursuers’ eyes?
How could he protect Astie?
Trevaga was annihilated, and Tesetan, Astie’s father, had even lost one arm.
In that instant, something caught Lucalion’s eye.
‘Master is in danger.’
‘Must escape.’
‘He’s pursuing from behind.’
Among the spirits circling in the air speaking urgently, the World Tree’s power glowing within Tie’s chest.
‘If I use this power, perhaps.’
Dimensional travel.
It was magic that could only be initiated by an Absolute Being.
Therefore, the price was especially harsh.
Lucalion would have to be trapped within the Resting Couch for a long time, unable to come out until someone awakened him.
It was also certain that even if he came out someday, he would lose all his memories.
But still.
‘I must do it.’
At that moment, that was the only way to protect Tie.
Bang-!
Soon an explosion of light covered the entire ravine.
The world was covered in white as a dimensional gate opened.
Another world.
There were three who moved to South Korea.
Lucalion and Tie, and.
‘…No.’
Even in that moment, he was moving forward to protect his daughter,
‘Not Astie…’
With his remaining arm, he kept pressing against the ground again and again,
‘At least my daughter, no-!’
And so it was Tesetan who grabbed Lucalion’s ankle at the last moment.
