A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 282

 

“Experiment?”

 

Tie blinked her round eyes.

 

“Yes. It’s merely a simple guess, but…”

 

Marbas jumped down from Tie’s shoulder with a hop.

 

Then he continued speaking with a solemn expression.

 

“Until now, these spirits have been moving separately and focusing on using their elemental abilities, haven’t they?”

 

“Mm-hmm!”

 

“Then.”

 

Marbas approached Tie.

 

“What if we gather that power into one?”

 

Tie’s lips parted.

 

Soon the child lowered her voice and asked back.

 

“The Pompoms, combining into one?”

 

“Exactly!”

 

Combining.

 

Tie’s eyes sparkled with light.

 

Marbas continued speaking.

 

“Now, now. Calm down. The possibility is still unknown. So first, let’s start with a simple experiment.”

 

“Okay!”

 

After answering, Tie quickly looked around.

 

Indeed, Pompoms were floating here and there everywhere.

 

‘Call their names, and then say what I want.’

 

When she carefully gave the command in her mind, the Pompoms floating in the air hesitated.

 

They looked at Tie for a moment before moving.

 

“Gasp!”

 

Three of them came up onto Tie’s palm and clustered together into one.

 

Seeing this, Marbas jumped high and shouted.

 

“As expected!”

 

He stared at Tie with great excitement.

 

“Just as I predicted! These beings can act as individuals, but they’re also entities that can form collective bodies when needed!”

 

However, Tie couldn’t give any response and just drew in her breath.

 

She couldn’t take her eyes off the combined Pompom rolling around on her palm.

 

“Perhaps the World Tree deliberately designed them that way! To have collective will! If they produce stronger power in their collective state…”

 

At that moment, Marbas, who had been speaking, hesitated.

 

“No…! Master!”

 

On Tie’s palm.

 

The collective body of Pompoms was growing larger and larger.

 

“This can’t be…!”

 

When the collective body grew larger than Tie’s head, Marbas stepped back.

 

The surrounding Pompoms joined one after another.

 

The spirits, each with their own colors, gathered like light to form a single shape.

 

And soon,

 

“Waaah!”

 

They formed the shape of a small animal.

 

“Marul! The Pompoms became a rabbit!”

 

At Tie’s exclamation, Marbas gulped.

 

A rabbit formed by dozens, hundreds of Pompoms gathering like dots.

 

The shape that jumped down from her palm hopped around and circled once around Tie.

 

“So cuuute…”

 

Tie’s eyes drooped down.

 

The rabbit hopped once more and stopped in front of Tie.

 

Then it tilted its head.

 

It had an expression as if saying ‘How’s that, didn’t I do well?’

 

It was when Tie was twisting her body at that adorable sight.

 

“Master.”

 

Marbas, who had been watching, stepped forward.

 

“Look around. There are still many individuals remaining.”

 

Only then did Tie turn her gaze.

 

Indeed, around them, Pompoms that hadn’t joined yet were still floating in the air.

 

“Now that we know these fellows can gather and scatter according to your will, let’s try something else.”

 

“Something else?”

 

“Yes!”

 

Marbas gestured toward the rabbit.

 

“Wouldn’t it be good if you could transform it into something bigger and more threatening?”

 

“Something big and threatening…”

 

Tie, who had been pondering, sparkled her eyes.

 

“I know! Something big and threatening!”

 

The child looked at the Pompoms with an expectant face.

 

Then new Pompoms began joining into the rabbit’s form.

 

The collective body continued growing to a certain point, then slowly began transforming its appearance.

 

“This is…!”

 

Seeing the changing shape of the collective body, Marbas hesitated and stepped back.

 

There was no mistake.

 

He never forgot anything he’d seen once, no matter what.

 

The shape before his eyes was something he had seen when they briefly stayed in Jongno-gu.

 

It had appeared several times in Tie’s fairy tale books and educational materials that he had started reading when he had nothing to do…

 

“It’s a baby Pteranodon!”

 

Tie jumped with joy.

 

A Pteranodon was a giant pterosaur that spread its wings wide and flew through the sky.

 

But for Tie to create such a pterosaur.

 

Excited, Tie circled around the collective body that was slightly larger than her height.

 

Even at this moment, the Pompoms were raising and lowering their density, making the collective body move like a living creature.

 

“With this I can make a T-rex too! And airplanes and cars and…!”

 

Tie, who had been speaking, hesitated.

 

The child’s eyes sparkled once more.

 

“Maybe Tie could even ride…”

 

But then.

 

Thud-

 

Suddenly, a heavy rumbling was felt from deep underground.

 

Tie’s concentration broke and the Pompoms’ collective body scattered instantly.

 

Marbas also looked around with a flustered face, on guard.

 

Rumble-

 

The vibration continued.

 

The next moment.

 

“Tie! Run away!”

 

Tesetan, who had come running from afar, scooped Tie into his arms and began running.

 

Crash-!

 

Then, as if someone had torn off the entire ceiling, the space above their heads became bright.

 

The stones that had formed the underground labyrinth were rising into the air.

 

As if they intended to drag out all the Agavert members from within.

 

“The children! Take care of the children!”

 

In the midst of the chaos, Basto shouted to the members.

 

Everyone began running toward the exit, each carrying one or two unconscious children in their arms.

 

Luciano was moving.

 

And now, back to the present.

 

“…So. This is the collective body of those Pompoms.”

 

“Yes!”

 

“We only discovered it could create something like this just before the labyrinth collapsed.”

 

“Yesss.”

 

Basto was at a loss for words.

 

Separated from Raul due to falling rocks.

 

He had thought he would lose Raul when monsters appeared on the other side.

 

His heart was still pounding fiercely from that tense situation.

 

“We can just kill the monsters. And our wonderful Miss can smash the falling rocks, so what’s there to worry about.”

 

Livia pulled Tie into her arms and planted kisses on her cheeks.

 

“Mmph, Aunt Livia.”

 

Tie twisted her body as if annoyed, but Livia paid no mind.

 

Instead, she kissed the child for quite a while longer before finally letting her go.

 

Tie, who had finally been set down on the ground, wore a solemn expression.

 

“This isn’t the time for kissing each other! We mustn’t let our guard down!”

 

The child looked around at the members.

 

“We still have a really long way to go…”

 

At that moment.

 

“…Tie?”

 

Tesetan hesitated.

 

He had noticed some subtle change in Tie.

 

The focus in the child’s green eyes seemed to blur for an instant, then her pupils rapidly turned golden from the very center.

 

“Time is running short.”

 

At the voice that came from the child’s mouth next, everyone fell silent.

 

Another voice was overlapping behind Tie’s voice.

 

“From today onward, every day shall become what you call the ‘Day of Destruction.'”

 

Basto furrowed his brow.

 

Livia also widened her eyes.

 

It was easy to tell that it wasn’t Astie speaking at this moment.

 

They could also guess what the price had been for the new power obtained from the World Tree.

 

But the Day of Destruction.

 

In that instant, fragments of light began to float slowly around Tie.

 

The light swirled like wind, making the child’s hair flutter.

 

“It will be different from before. The barrier was a shell of suppression created by burning my last root. Now that such a shell has been shattered…”

 

Tie, who had briefly floated into the air, landed back on the ground.

 

“The sun is no longer your shield.”

 

With that as the last word, focus returned to Tie’s eyes.

 

“…Miss?”

 

Livia hurriedly ran to Tie.

 

Tesetan only looked at Tie with a complicated expression.

 

The child, who had worn a dazed expression for a moment, raised her head.

 

“…It was the World Tree who did it.”

 

Tie said urgently.

 

“All this time, the World Tree had been blocking monsters from coming out during the day!”

 

But just a moment ago.

 

While Agabert was struggling to rescue the trapped children from underground.

 

“The barrier…”

 

At Tie’s murmur, the members exchanged glances.

 

They could now vaguely guess how the situation was unfolding.

 

A thick tension hung in the air for a moment.

 

Then.

 

“Astie!”

 

In the distance.

 

Someone’s voice could be heard from beyond the mountain of debris.

 

Tie’s eyes widened as she hurriedly ran in that direction.

 

“Grandfather! Uncles!”

 

Valentis and the three princes of Luminen were leading the Paladins as they ran toward Tie.
