A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 310
Ding-
The bell rang out slowly once again.
The trajectory of the butterfly swarm wavered, and another layer of scale dust settled onto the floor.
Serafina’s eyes narrowed.
“…The plan has gone awry.”
Her voice was calm, but the knuckles gripping her longsword were subtly tense.
“It should have been enough to erase the protective barrier with scales and seal the rooms one by one-”
Looking down at Tie, Serafina asked.
“How did you break through my wall?”
Tie trembled but forced herself to smile.
“That’s…”
“Ma, ma, ma, masterrrr-!”
But at that moment.
From the far end of the corridor, Marbas burst out of Tie’s open room.
“Ahhh! Save me! These horrible swarms of bugs! Ca, ca, can’t you back away!”
Marbas ran with all his might and rolled across the floor.
Then he flew up and landed precariously on Tie’s palm.
“Th, this Marbas thought he was surely going to die! How I regretted not following master when you went to get hay…!”
While Tie’s eyes widened.
Marbas trembled as he turned to look at Serafina.
“You co, co, cowardly minion of Luciano! Listen well! Our master is a sacred being chosen by the World Tree, and also the ruler of the Underworld!”
Serafina’s eyebrow moved slightly.
However, Marbas paid no heed and raised his voice.
“The souls of the Underworld who obey master’s commands walk a different path from us to begin with! So your butterfly wall or whatever localized barrier, hiccup! Could never have blocked their way!”
A moment of silence followed.
Serafina slowly tilted her head.
“…I see.”
Marbas showed a flustered expression.
Because no admiration or anger could be felt from Serafina’s voice.
She still lifted her head with an emotionless face.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll just proceed to the next step.”
The butterflies forming the wall scattered with a whooshing sound.
The butterflies spread toward the corridor ceiling, some going up the stairs, some disappearing beyond the corridor corner.
“…This way!”
Was it the aftermath of the wall disappearing?
From somewhere far away, people’s voices began to be heard just then.
“Tie-!
“Child, where are you?!”
Hearing the voices of Father and her uncles, the unit members, Tie’s eyes widened.
“Marul! People have come!”
Marbas quickly nodded his head.
Then he lowered his voice and whispered.
“Master! Since we have a barrier, how about we try running upstairs right now.”
Tie gulped.
“You can’t face that Serafina alone anyway. So it would be much safer to be with everyone else…”
But at that moment.
“No.”
Serafina shook her head and spoke lowly.
“I won’t allow it.”
Then a heavy wave spread from the tip of her longsword.
Thud-
The wave hit the barrier and great vibrations covered the corridor.
Tie gritted her teeth and maintained her balance.
Fortunately, the wave seemed to subside without causing direct harm to Tie.
However.
“Master!”
Marbas, whose body was lighter than Tie’s, couldn’t withstand the wave and was thrown far away.
“Ma, Marbas!”
The moment Tie got up and tried to run out.
“…Condensation.”
As Serafina chanted, the butterfly swarm clinging to the ceiling descended all at once.
Brilliant particles stacked layer upon layer, emitting light.
The glass seed-like crystals surrounded Tie in a circle, then began interlocking with each other to form a solid sphere.
“Astie!”
“Child!”
Finally, a unit member appeared from atop the stairs.
“Father! Uncle Basto!”
Tie quickly turned around, but,
“Ah!”
Before she could even take a step, she was blocked by something invisible and fell on her bottom.
Tie’s eyes widened with a flustered face.
“What is… this?”
In a short time, a transparent membrane had blocked her surroundings.
“Master! Are you alright?! Huh?!”
Marbas’s voice came through muffled from beyond the membrane.
“Stay calm! I don’t know what this is, but it’s definitely a barrier! There must be a way to break it…”
But at that moment, the glass wall surrounding Tie began floating up toward the sky.
“Ma, master?! Master!”
The flustered Marbas hopped up and down.
Tie looked around in disbelief.
The spherical glass wall was gradually approaching Serafina while carrying Tie.
“Le, let me out!”
Terrified by the thought of being trapped, Tie frantically released her magic power.
However, the force only spread like ripples across the glass surface before disappearing.
Serafina, holding her sword horizontally, gave Tie a brief glance.
“Stay still.”
She placed the sphere containing Tie behind her and began walking toward the expedition.
“I’ll deal with them first.”
The butterfly swarm left silver trajectories along the sword blade.
“You’re next. I’ll take you before him along with the holy oil.”
“The child is…”
Veil, who had entered the corridor, held his breath.
In the distance, he could see Tie trapped in a glass cocoon floating in the air.
“…Tie?”
Tesetan, who arrived next, also stopped in his tracks.
Tesetan, who had frozen in disbelief, soon began moving forward as if entranced.
“Tie. Are you…”
“Calm down, Tesetan.”
However, Valentis grabbed Tesetan’s shoulder with a tense expression, stopping him.
He spoke quickly in a lowered voice.
“They won’t harm the child right now. From what I can see, it seems they received orders from Luciano to bring Astie back alive.”
Tesetan’s expression twisted.
However, he couldn’t argue back and clenched both fists tightly.
Valentis’s words certainly made sense.
“If they intended to harm the child, they would have done so already. But Serafina didn’t. That’s why we were able to make it this far.”
A short breath escaped from Tesetan’s lips.
He had no choice but to place his hand on his sword hilt.
“…We need to finish this quickly.”
Tesetan’s eyes held a deeper killing intent than ever as he looked back at Valentis.
“If we drag this out, Tie might be in danger!”
Veil also nodded urgently.
“That’s right. My injuries have mostly healed by now, and in this condition, we might have a chance.”
However, just before Veil drew his weapon, Valentis shook his head.
“No. If we can’t fight intelligently, we have no chance of winning.”
Veil’s brow furrowed as he hesitated.
Valentis gestured beyond Veil with his eyes.
“Look at all those white butterflies.”
Only then did the members stare at the swarm of butterflies filling the corridor.
“Once the battle starts and the butterflies begin to move, the fight will definitely flow in Serafina’s favor.”
Valentis, who had paused briefly, added.
“…All those white butterfly wings will become Serafina’s blades.”
Several members hesitated in place.
The confined space of the corridor.
Even the walls without a single window.
After hearing Valentis’s words, they could almost visualize the battle that would unfold.
“…Then what do we do?”
Basto asked in a low voice.
Cold sweat was already flowing down his forehead.
“There’s no other way! Tie is already in that person’s grasp, so we can’t engage in an all-out battle.”
“Damn it! If only we could have fought outside…”
Veil clutched his forehead.
Then he raised his head with an anxious expression.
“Isn’t there a way to lure that woman outside? What on earth should we do…”
“It’s not entirely hopeless.”
At that moment, Valentis interrupted Veil’s words.
Then he spoke in a lowered voice.
“That Serafina isn’t just a simple swordsman. She’s a paladin.”
Leonardo’s eyes widened.
“Even though she’s under Luciano’s command, if she’s a paladin, she won’t be able to easily dismiss a challenge to cross swords.”
Valentis took a short deep breath and placed his hand on his sword hilt.
“If I propose a duel, there’s a possibility she’ll accept. If so, we can avoid an all-out battle while turning the situation to our advantage.”
