A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 299

 

Tie’s voice echoed through the forest like a wave.

 

Mel’s lips twitched as his concealment was stripped away.

 

“The illusion, my illusion was broken?”

 

Fear flickered in his eyes for the first time.

 

“That’s impossible, the illusion was perfect! There’s no way someone like you could break through it…!”

 

Tie clenched both fists tightly and shouted.

 

“No!”

 

Then she continued with a trembling voice.

 

“Tie knows how much her family and unit members love her. So she won’t be fooled by such illusions! Not at all…!”

 

Mel’s face gradually hardened.

 

He frantically gathered residue from around him and swung it.

 

Black fluid shot out like arrows, piercing through the forest trees around Tie.

 

However, Tie didn’t flinch.

 

The power extending around the child was automatically dispersing Mel’s attacks.

 

“…No. This can’t be.”

 

Mel muttered anxiously.

 

‘I should have noticed when that brat escaped from my illusion…!’

 

At this moment, the Commander King was deflecting all of his attacks.

 

Something must have gone wrong during the process of breaking the illusion.

 

Gritting his teeth, Mel had no choice but to change his plan.

 

As he gathered the power received from Luciano, mist began to collect around him.

 

When he activated concealment again, brief confusion crossed Tie’s face.

 

Mel let out a mocking laugh as if to show off.

 

“Illusions aren’t the only way I can kill you, brat.”

 

His form gradually became fainter.

 

“I have plenty of time. Finishing you off is something I can do again anytime.”

 

His cackling voice became an echo that resonated through the forest.

 

“Look forward to the next time we meet. Then I will definitely…”

 

“Got you.”

 

But at that moment.

 

A cold voice came from behind.

 

Mel slowly turned his head.

 

Then he looked at the person standing before him and moved his lips as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

“How are you…? I clearly confirmed with my own eyes that you were consumed by the illusion… Guhk!”

 

There was no time to finish his words.

 

Tesetan’s sword pierced through Mel’s chest.

 

Dark red blood flowed from Mel’s lips with a gurgle.

 

“This can’t be… my illusion, my masterpiece…!”

 

With his body fixed on the blade, Mel’s eyes widened.

 

However, before he could do anything, this time Veil’s dagger dug into his side.

 

“You bastard! How dare you use Isha in your filthy illusion?! Do you know what kind of child she was?!”

 

Faint tear stains were dried around Veil’s eyes.

 

It was because he had seen his youngest sister, lost long ago, in the illusion.

 

“Kill him, Regent!”

 

It wasn’t just Veil.

 

“I should have split that ship in half when I first saw you at the port, you demon!”

 

Livia’s eyes flashed as she held her curved sword.

 

“Illusions. Even the methods used resemble the master’s viciousness.”

 

Alexander glared at Mel while healing the injured.

 

“Please don’t look, Commander. The Regent will handle the rest.”

 

Even the other unit members who had approached Tie’s side.

 

“…That can’t be right.”

 

Seeing everyone who had awakened from the illusion, Mel muttered.

 

“That can’t be right. My illusion was a masterpiece! Everything was a work that would prove my power!”

 

With a scraping sound, Mel’s voice was cut off abruptly.

 

Mel collapsed at Tesetan’s feet with his eyes wide open as the sword was withdrawn.

 

“Uncle Basto?”

 

Tie tugged at Basto’s clothes.

 

However, Basto held Tie tightly in his arms and wouldn’t let go.

 

“Uncle Basto, Tie wants to see too. Okay?”

 

With the child’s voice behind them, the unit members whose legs had given out slumped to the ground.

 

Lucalion and Ppupppu, who had lost consciousness while Tie was trapped in the illusion, quietly exchanged glances.

 

Soon, red mist summoned by Ppupppu covered Mel’s corpse.

 

“Puhaa!”

 

Thus, when Tie poked her head out from Basto’s embrace again.

 

“Huh! Mel is gone…!”

 

The child could only widen her eyes at the sight of the disappeared Mel.

 

Tesetan, who had staggered over, embraced Tie.

 

“Mel is gone, Tie.”

 

Tie closed her mouth while listening to Father’s pounding heartbeat.

 

“You can feel safe now.”

 

The air around them was gradually settling.

 

The strange energy that had filled the forest also became much fainter.

 

Tie nodded while hugging Tesetan tightly.

 

That evening, at the campsite.

 

“Your Excellency. We are severely short of bandages and disinfectant for treatment.”

 

A paladin who had been busily moving about knelt before Valentis.

 

Tie, who was drinking water beside him, widened her eyes.

 

The paladin continued with an anxious voice.

 

“Almost everyone was affected by Mel’s illusions…”

 

Tie finally put down her water cup.

 

“Ahhh! It hurts!”

 

Right now, across the campfire, the injured were treating their wounds.

 

Bruises or tears from fighting monsters, minor abrasions.

 

Some even had broken bones.

 

The injuries varied, but those weren’t the real problem.

 

“Ahhh! It hurts! I said it hurts!”

 

Tie flinched at Veil’s screams.

 

The child looked up at Valentis with worried eyes.

 

“Grandfather, is brother Veil in a lot of pain?”

 

Valentis nodded.

 

“Yes. Judging by the sounds, it seems so.”

 

“Yes…”

 

Tie, who had answered, carefully looked up at Valentis’s face.

 

“But Grandfather, don’t you hurt?”

 

Only then did Valentis pause and lower his gaze.

 

Then he stared at his left forearm, roughly wrapped with cloth.

 

“…Hmm.”

 

Valentis let out a groan and carefully unwrapped the bandage.

 

This revealed skin that was red and swollen like a burn.

 

“Uuugh….”

 

Tie was the first to make a pained sound upon seeing the wound.

 

Valentis’s injury looked incredibly painful at first glance.

 

However, Valentis only responded indifferently.

 

“Don’t worry. It’s not unbearable.”

 

Tie’s lips parted.

 

Not unbearable.

 

Tie let out a deep sigh.

 

“…Bad Mel!”

 

In fact, these burn-like wounds were all created by Mel.

 

After the battle ended.

 

On the skin of those who had fallen victim to Mel’s illusions, clear marks remained where eyeballs had sprouted and disappeared.

 

Those marks began to swell red and inflamed around the time the expedition set up camp,

 

‘Later everyone said it hurt terribly. Blood came out, and fluid too….’

 

The fortunate thing was that only Alexander and Tie’s wounds healed quickly as soon as they appeared.

 

The unit members said this about it.

 

‘It seems like only people with holy power specialized in healing recover quickly.’

 

‘I think so too. Looking at how the other paladins’ wounds aren’t healing….’

 

“N-now, how is it?”

 

Sure enough, Alexander’s voice could be heard from a distance.

 

Alexander was testing whether others’ wounds could be healed with his holy power.

 

“Ugh… the pain is still severe.”

 

However, the injured all shook their heads.

 

“Sigh, wounds other than those made by Mel Lucien heal quickly, but….”

 

Along with Alexander’s muttering, a serious atmosphere settled over the campsite.

 

Soon Alexander approached Tie and Valentis.

 

“Is there really no way to obtain bandages and disinfectant?”

 

At those words, Valentis’s expression became serious.

 

A paladin had said the same thing earlier.

 

“Mel’s wounds cannot be healed with holy power. In the end, the only answer is to wait for the wounds to heal naturally, but….”

 

Alexander looked around at the injured.

 

“At this rate, far from healing, the situation will only worsen with pain and infection. We need to replenish the lacking medical supplies quickly.”

 

“I agree. But where can we obtain medical supplies right now?”

 

At Valentis’s response, Alexander closed his mouth.

 

“This is the middle of Roxe Forest. There’s no place where we can replenish medical supplies. Even if there were, since most of us are injured, our movement speed would be impossibly slow.”

 

Alexander bit his lip.

 

Edmund, who had been watching from the side, let out a sigh.

 

“Father is right. If only the number of injured were small, it might be different. But unfortunately, most of us are hurt….”

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“But can’t we go back to Serkanos Cathedral?”

 

Tie, who had been listening all along, carefully raised one hand and spoke.

 

“I saw tons of bandages and medicine at the cathedral!”

 

At this moment, in Tie’s mind, the scene of the treatment room she had seen every time she went to Luciano’s banquet was unfolding.

 

Clean bandages filling the wall cabinets.

 

Various medicine bottles placed on the shelves.

 

“Is it too far away…?”

 

Just as the child glanced at her family members and quietly lowered her hand.

 

“Wait a moment.”

 

Lucalion, who had been in the tree, landed gracefully on the ground.

 

“Come to think of it, we don’t necessarily need to go all the way to Serkanos Cathedral.”

 

Everyone looked at Lucalion.

 

“There should be other temples nearby. Various temples are scattered throughout Roxe Forest. If we can find one of them….”

 

He gazed at Alexander.

 

“We might be able to obtain what we need immediately.”
