A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 294

 

“Ch, Child.”

 

Veil’s lips trembled.

 

When he turned his head, he could see not only his own back but also the black fluid splattered around him.

 

Tie reached out her hand.

 

“It really seems to be purifying!”

 

“Purifying…?”

 

Veil asked back with a confused expression.

 

Soon, he slowly began to take in the surrounding situation.

 

“Move quickly! Get the injured to a safe zone!”

 

“Leonardo! Deploy the barrier!”

 

The three princes of Valentis and Luminen were moving busily.

 

To purify those affected by erosion with holy power.

 

In the distance, Basto, Aleric, Livia, and Victor were being carried on stretchers.

 

“Livia first! If the erosion progresses further, her life could be in danger!”

 

Veil looked down at his unconscious comrades’ faces with trembling eyes.

 

Red veins spreading throughout their bodies.

 

Eyes floating without focus.

 

“Tie will purify too! Yap! Yap!”

 

While Alexander was purifying Livia.

 

Tie clung to Aleric.

 

The golden holy power that never failed to inspire admiration flowed out through the child’s hands.

 

Just as that holy power was about to weaken the corrupting energy that was eroding Aleric.

 

“Father! The barrier is breaking!”

 

Someone’s urgent cry was heard.

 

When he turned his head, he could see Leonardo barely maintaining the barrier.

 

Beyond it.

 

“What in the world is that…!”

 

Veil swallowed a groan and clenched his fist.

 

Beyond the barrier, dozens, hundreds more eyeballs had appeared.

 

Unblinking gazes stared at Tie’s group all at once.

 

“Gaaah!”

 

Then one of the Paladins watching all directions at the barrier’s edge staggered.

 

As if his body was paralyzed, he slowly collapsed to the ground.

 

“Carden!”

 

A comrade standing nearby quickly supported him.

 

However.

 

“Urgh…!”

 

The erosive energy that began penetrating the barrier soon caused even his comrade to lose consciousness.

 

“Wh, what do we do…!”

 

Tie stopped purifying Aleric and stamped her feet anxiously.

 

The child looked back at Lucalion.

 

“The purification is too slow! When we purify one person, two more get hurt…!”

 

Lucalion bit his lip.

 

He looked around with a face full of impatience.

 

The members of the Paladins, Tie, and even Tesetan.

 

At this moment, everyone who could use holy power was devoted to purifying their eroded comrades.

 

But the situation wasn’t improving.

 

As the eyeballs increased in number, Leonardo’s barrier was being neutralized.

 

‘A situation where barely recovering one person means erosion spreads elsewhere…’

 

Tesetan approached Valentis with an anxious face.

 

“We need to find a way, Father. The purification speed can’t keep up with the erosion speed.”

 

Valentis nodded.

 

However, he too was at a loss for methods.

 

It was when deep anguish was spreading across everyone’s faces.

 

“Can’t we just get rid of the eyeballs outside?!”

 

Tie, having finished purifying Aleric, stood up.

 

The child pointed at the eyeballs beyond the barrier and stamped her feet.

 

“Bad magic keeps coming from the eyeballs, right? So if we get rid of those…!”

 

“That won’t work.”

 

Lucalion blocked Tie’s path.

 

“If you go outside the barrier, even you might be in danger.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

“But Tie has tons of holy power, right? The World Tree gave…”

 

“That’s why you’ve been able to hold out until now. Look around.”

 

Only then did Tie slowly look around.

 

“S, Sir. My body feels, strange…”

 

One, then two.

 

Now even the Paladins inside the barrier were falling to erosion.

 

Lucalion made a pained sound.

 

“It’s only a matter of time anyway. The barrier is useless too. We need to destroy those eyes somehow, but a way to do it without getting close…”

 

His ears felt distant.

 

Tie looked around with her mouth closed.

 

Already, there were only comrades affected by erosion nearby.

 

“Ppyu!”

 

Ppupppu tapped Tie’s shoulder from beside her.

 

But the child shook her head.

 

“That won’t work, Ppupppu.”

 

Tie continued with drooping eyebrows.

 

“Going out to fight for now. But what if Tie gets eroded too?”

 

Tie was the one with the most holy power in the expedition.

 

So if Tie fell, they would completely lose the battle against the eyeball monsters.

 

“Can’t we deal with them one by one.”

 

Tesetan muttered.

 

Edmund shook his head.

 

“There are too many. I guarantee we’d be done for before eliminating even a few.”

 

The atmosphere became even more serious.

 

Tie also anxiously fiddled with the zipper of her preschool bag.

 

But then.

 

[Child.]

 

With the feeling of being sucked somewhere, her vision went dark.

 

At the familiar scene, Tie hesitantly looked up.

 

“World Tree?”

 

The World Tree was looking down at Tie, having appeared at some point.

 

Tie urgently ran to the World Tree.

 

“Help me! My comrades have been affected by erosion!”

 

But the World Tree just kept her mouth shut with indifferent eyes as always.

 

Tie grabbed at the World Tree’s hem rippling in the air.

 

“Isn’t there a way? There are too many eyeballs to eliminate!”

 

[Why do you ask me that?]

 

Tie froze in place.

 

The World Tree continued speaking.

 

[Even without my help, you already know the method.]

 

The child’s eyes widened.

 

“Tie already knows the method?”

 

[Yes. Look.]

 

The next moment, an illusion created by the World Tree unfolded before their eyes.

 

It was a mirror.

 

A massive mirror wall that reflected Tie’s body completely.

 

[Look at yourself.]

 

Their gaze fell downward.

 

Hair disheveled from running all around the forest.

 

The preschool bag on their back and Ppupppu sitting on their shoulder.

 

However.

 

“…There are two.”

 

What Tie needed to focus on was something else.

 

Two streams of light glowing softly near their heart.

 

One brilliantly clear and white, the other heavily rippling with blue light…

 

“I got it!”

 

As they shouted and turned around, their vision returned to normal.

 

Tie hurriedly looked around.

 

“Tie figured it out! A way to eliminate all the eyeballs at once!”

 

Their small chest beat rapidly.

 

Why hadn’t they thought of this before?

 

“Hoo…!”

 

Tie took a short breath and bit their lips tightly.

 

A brief flash of different colors passed through the child’s green eyes.

 

Crack-

 

Soon a thin fissure opened outside the barrier.

 

“Come out, bone friends!”

 

With a rustling sound.

 

Shadows began crawling out one by one from within the fissure.

 

A smile of relief spread across Tie’s lips.

 

The skeleton soldiers lined up on the forest path were all looking at their master in unison.

 

But there was no time to be satisfied.

 

“Father! Wait here!”

 

The child shouted and kicked off the ground with small feet.

 

Tie began running toward the edge of the barrier.

 

“Tie, it’s dangerous!”

 

“Astie! Come back! No matter how many skeletons you’ve summoned, outside the barrier is dangerous…!”

 

The worried voices of family faded distantly behind them.

 

But Tie only stopped after reaching the barrier’s edge.

 

Then after taking a short deep breath, they finally stepped outside it.

 

“Gasp.”

 

The air changed instantly.

 

The magical energy emitted by dozens, hundreds of eyeballs made breathing difficult.

 

But even in the midst of that, the skeletons were looking at Tie with their lightless eye sockets.

 

Tie nodded.

 

“…Right. You need power too.”

 

They brought both hands to their chest.

 

A heavy force pulsed beneath their heart.

 

Tie closed their eyes tightly and began weaving that power into multiple streams.

 

How many seconds had passed?

 

Bang-!

 

With a violent bursting sound, brilliant radiance erupted from Tie’s body.

 

Shattered into dozens, hundreds of branches.

 

Fragments of radiance reminiscent of a meteor shower poured down from the sky.

 

“…Astie.”

 

Valentis stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the sky.

 

The radiance Tie had emitted was drawing parabolic arcs beyond the barrier.

 

And then,

 

“That is…”

 

One by one, then another.

 

They flowed into the empty hands of the skeletons standing with rattling sounds.

 

“It worked! It worked!”

 

In the distance, Tie held Ppupppu’s hand and bounced up and down.

 

Meanwhile, the radiance that seeped into the skeletons’ hands slowly changed form.

 

Spears, swords, and bows.

 

Sacred weapons were grasped by the cold bone frames.

 

Creak-

 

One of the skeletons drew the string of the golden bow in its hand.

 

With a twang, an arrow made of holy power shot toward one of the eyeballs.

 

Splat, the eyeball burst and its remains fell onto the greenery.

 

Starting with that, the skeleton army attacked the eyeballs.
