A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 300

 

Roxe Forest was thickly shrouded in night fog.

 

The scent of earth and blood mingled in the air.

 

Veil, who had been pushing through branches and vines, stopped in place.

 

“…Hey, Kamang.”

 

His face, leaning against a tree, contorted in pain.

 

“Are you really sure this is the right way? I still don’t see anything…”

 

Lucalion, who had been leading ahead, came back.

 

Lucalion looked at Veil’s pale face and closed his mouth for a moment, then answered calmly.

 

“I told you. I can’t be certain. Right now I can’t sense anything because of Luciano’s energy filling the forest.”

 

A groan escaped from Veil’s lips.

 

Lucalion gestured toward the fog beyond.

 

“But it should be right. Based on the distance calculations, if we go this way there should definitely be a temple of reasonable size.”

 

“Haah…”

 

Veil squeezed his eyes shut and leaned against the tree trunk.

 

Basto approached.

 

“Veil, if it’s really too hard, why don’t you ride in the cart too.”

 

Behind Basto was a cart carrying those with serious injuries.

 

But Veil couldn’t readily answer.

 

Though he was standing upright, Basto pulling the cart was equally seriously injured.

 

“…Never mind.”

 

Veil finally shook his head.

 

“Let’s just keep going.”

 

As he started walking again, someone suddenly grasped his hand tightly from the right.

 

When he looked down, what came into view was a head covered with leaves.

 

Tie, who was firmly holding Veil’s hand, made a sniffling sound.

 

“Veil… Tie will support you from the side.”

 

A hollow laugh escaped at the ridiculous face trying to hold back tears.

 

“Hey, I’m the one who’s hurt, so why are you crying?”

 

Instead of answering, Tie rubbed around her eyes with one hand.

 

Then she tucked in her arbitrarily pouting lips and answered.

 

“I don’t know.”

 

But actually, Tie knew too.

 

The unit members whose faces had turned white from enduring pain.

 

Even the paladins who had thrown off their armor, unable to bear the weight.

 

Everyone’s wounds, roughly wrapped with cloth due to lack of bandages, were festering even at this moment.

 

Valentis swallowed and said.

 

“Let’s try to pick up the pace as much as possible.”

 

The group moved forward again.

 

But they could hardly gain speed.

 

Before long, sweat began pouring from Tie’s forehead as she supported Veil.

 

Veil’s face twisted with guilt.

 

“Sorry, child. My legs keep giving out…”

 

But Tie shook her head bravely.

 

“It’s okay! Tie and youngest uncle aren’t hurt, so we can give support!”

 

The child groaned and took a step forward.

 

But at that moment.

 

Veil finally collapsed to the ground.

 

“Ack!”

 

An exclamation also escaped from Tie’s lips as she fell under Veil’s weight.

 

Though her knee was scraped, the child quickly got up and checked on Veil.

 

“Veil! Are you okay…?!”

 

But Veil had already lost consciousness.

 

Seeing Tie stamping her feet, Basto hurriedly ran over.

 

“It’s okay, Tie. There’s still room in the cart.”

 

However, Tie’s expression didn’t ease.

 

She had seen Basto stagger as he lifted Veil.

 

‘Even though Basto can easily lift huge monsters…’

 

She was gradually realizing how serious the unit members’ injuries were.

 

Tie hurriedly ran to the front of the group.

 

Then she shouted toward Lucalion flying in the air.

 

“Kamang! This is bad! If we can’t find the temple quickly, everyone will…”

 

But perhaps because she wasn’t watching where she was going.

 

“Waaaaah!”

 

Tie’s foot caught on a tree root and she tumbled face-first to the ground once more.

 

“Ow ow ow…”

 

Feeling tears about to come, the child reflexively clutched her knee.

 

The wound from falling with Veil was scraped again, and red blood was beading on her skin.

 

“Sire! Are you alright!”

 

She could hear the unit members worrying from behind.

 

But Tie endured the pain and raised her hand.

 

“Mm-hmm, Tie is okay…!”

 

Limping, Tie was about to turn back.

 

“Huh?”

 

Right in front of where she had fallen.

 

Something carved into a tree trunk caught Tie’s attention.

 

Sensing something unusual, Tie’s lips trembled.

 

Then she immediately shouted loudly.

 

“Kamang! Kamang!”

 

Lucalion hurriedly approached.

 

Tie pointed at the tree trunk right in front of her with a trembling hand.

 

“Look at this! It’s the exact same picture as the one in Sercanoss!”

 

Lucalion’s eyes widened.

 

“…This is a temple marking.”

 

Tie was right.

 

A pattern that seemed to be decades, no, even older was carved into the tree trunk.

 

It was definitely a trace of the divine.

 

Lucalion hurriedly flew up into the sky again.

 

“The temple is near here! I’ll go look and come back!”

 

Tie clasped her hands together and watched Lucalion’s retreating figure.

 

In the pitch-black darkness, after waiting like that for a while.

 

“I found it!”

 

Lucalion returned and shouted with an excited expression.

 

“Just go a little east! It’s half in ruins, but there’s a temple there!”

 

Basto’s face brightened.

 

Valentis and Tesetan, who were carrying the injured, felt the same.

 

“…Let’s go.”

 

Tesetan, carrying Leonardo, took the first step.

 

Tie led the way together with Lucalion.

 

Indeed, as they pushed through the fog, piles of rocks and crumbling stone statues began to reveal themselves one by one.

 

And beyond that.

 

“It really is a temple!”

 

Blackened stone walls and a collapsed roof came into view.

 

The temple, built long ago, lay buried in the forest in a half-ruined state.

 

However, clear light was seeping out from inside the intact window frames.

 

“There are people here.”

 

Sure enough, Tesetan, who had detected human presence, spoke up.

 

Valentis nodded and raised his hand to stop the group’s steps.

 

Holding their breath, they entered what appeared to be a courtyard.

 

Looking around, it was the moment when Tie took a step forward with Lucalion.

 

“Heretics!”

 

Along with someone’s cracked voice, something lukewarm poured down over their heads.

 

“Gasp…!”

 

Though Lucalion tried to shield her, something sticky ultimately dripped down Tie’s hair to the floor.

 

Before everyone could assume defensive positions in the sudden situation.

 

All sides brightened and their vision was revealed.

 

Standing in front of Tie and Lucalion was an elder priest.

 

The elder priest threw away the empty wooden bucket he had been holding.

 

Then he took a torch from a priest behind him.

 

“Get back! If you don’t retreat, I’ll burn you with fire…!”

 

“Tie! Step back!”

 

In that instant, Tesetan roughly pulled Tie and Lucalion backward.

 

Only then did Lucalion, who confirmed the identity of the liquid, mutter.

 

“…Oil?”

 

The unit members’ expressions hardened all at once.

 

Only Tie, who couldn’t grasp the situation, had her eyes wide open.

 

“What kind of behavior is this?”

 

Tesetan hid Tie and Lucalion behind him and placed his hand on his sword hilt.

 

“We are an expedition formed to siege the mastone of the Central Continent. We came seeking the temple’s help because we have many wounded!”

 

The elder priest holding the torch’s eyes wavered.

 

His gaze slowly moved toward the back of Tie, Tesetan, and Lucalion.

 

Injured people whose condition was clearly serious at a glance.

 

Even those who had lost consciousness and were loaded on carts.

 

“Wounded…”

 

The elder priest muttered in a confused voice.

 

Meanwhile, Nordics’ words from the Grand Cathedral were flashing through Tesetan’s mind.

 

‘Not everyone in the Order is in league with Luciano. Only a very few priests like cardinals or the Amlungdae know of his plans.’

 

‘Then you’re saying the rest of the Order’s members know nothing?’

 

‘That’s right. There’s only one reason they don’t leave the Order. Because they still believe Luciano is a pure representative of God. If that weren’t the case, the Order would have collapsed long ago.’

 

In fact, this was why they had risked danger to seek out temples.

 

They thought that priests of such small temples would be excluded from Luciano’s plans.

 

So when wounded people came seeking help, they would extend their hand like proper priests.

 

However.

 

“Nonsense! As long as I remain as head priest, there is nothing here to give to heretics!”

 

The elder priest shouted with eerily glowing eyes.

 

“Get back! Having dared to harm His Holiness, how dare you brazenly try to cross the threshold of His house!”

 

Despair crossed everyone’s faces.

 

Only Tie, who realized something was strange, tilted her head in confusion.
