A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 314

 

The cocoon trembled slightly.

 

Tie carefully placed her other hand on top of it.

 

“Huh?”

 

In an instant, warm energy spread through her palm.

 

Gentle streams of light flowed up Tie’s arm to her shoulder, then into her chest.

 

“Master-!”

 

Marbas, who had been getting scolded by Ppupppu from a distance, came running over frantically.

 

“Could this be…!”

 

Tie silently swallowed hard.

 

The World Tree seed in her chest was reacting to the light flowing from the cocoon.

 

The scattered Pompom gathered around and began circling Tie.

 

“Serafina’s power is returning to its rightful place! It’s coming back to you, Master!”

 

As Marbas made a fuss, Aleric approached.

 

“The power is returning to its rightful place? What do you mean?”

 

“Look! Serafina received power beyond human limits from Luciano, and that power was actually stolen from the World Tree by Luciano, wasn’t it?”

 

In Tie’s mind, images of Serafina, Luciano, and her own face appeared in sequence.

 

Red arrows indicating the movement of power floated between them.

 

“Since Serafina is dead, normally this corrupted power should have returned to Luciano! However!”

 

Marbas’s eyes gleamed as he stared at the glowing small cocoon.

 

“No matter how I think about it, that woman seems to have betrayed Luciano. Judging by how she left this for you at the last moment.”

 

Marbas jumped onto Tie’s shoulder.

 

“I dare say this power will definitely be helpful! When you think about it, we’ve intercepted what was meant for Luciano…”

 

Tie let Marbas’s words go in one ear and out the other as she stared at the cocoon in her palm.

 

The silver-gleaming cocoon was still infusing Tie with holy power.

 

But how much time had passed like this?

 

“Hm?”

 

The flow of holy power seemed to hesitate, then suddenly a strange sensation touched her fingertips.

 

Then thousands of thin threads extended from the cocoon, creating a transparent membrane in the air.

 

Marbas’s eyes widened.

 

“Ooh! There’s something more…”

 

At that moment.

 

A blurry image formed on the surface of the membrane.

 

[Uhahahat! Look well! See what our lord has entrusted to me!]

 

The double image merged into one, and a large man covered in scars wavered on the membrane.

 

Sun-bronzed copper skin.

 

He scratched his half-missing right earlobe and glared mockingly at Tie.

 

[You wouldn’t know since you’ve been rotting away in exile on other continents all the time. This is the key, El. The key to bringing down the Saint in one blow!]

 

Tie’s lips parted.

 

“He called me El…?”

 

“It’s Serafina’s memory.”

 

Lucalion muttered urgently.

 

At those words, everyone held their breath.

 

[El, you must know too! How long our lord has been working to eliminate that Saint!]

 

The man in the afterimage threw himself onto an old sofa.

 

Dusty clouds rose as a long creaking sound echoed.

 

[Eleonora. What an annoying woman. Uhahahat!]

 

His eyes turned coldly as he burst into laughter.

 

[If there had been just one flaw to find. We would have branded that woman a heretic and put her on the stake long ago.]

 

He downed the liquor that was in front of the sofa.

 

Thick liquid dripped down his scarred chin.

 

[The problem was that woman rarely showed any openings. Uhhahat!]

 

The man slammed the bottle down with a bang.

 

[That’s why our lord brought that brat early on to set a trap.]

 

Tesetan’s brow furrowed.

 

Tie looked up at Father with an anxious face.

 

Listening to what the man was saying brought certain things to mind.

 

The facts she had learned when meeting Eloa at Serkanos Cathedral.

 

‘Children who awaken at a young age are impious, so send them to the sanctuary.’

 

‘Children born with both holy power and magic need purification.’

 

All this time, the world had defined children with both powers as omens.

 

But at the Grand Cathedral, Tie had realized.

 

Those rumors were all lies.

 

Lies created by Luciano to easily procure children who would become test subjects.

 

‘But people all believed those rumors.’

 

Frightened adults believed only Luciano’s words and sent their children to the sanctuary.

 

Sometimes the religious order would directly step in to take children from their parents.

 

‘Just like how they took Father away from Grandfather and Grandmother…’

 

The man in the projection continued speaking.

 

[El, it was exactly 12 years ago. When we brought the smallest useful one for experiments from the Luminen family.]

 

Valentis’s face, who was receiving treatment from Eura, went blank.

 

Edmund, Leonardo, and Alexander were the same.

 

[That woman Eleonora never would have dreamed what we were doing to her child! How could she have known we planted a trap to kill her in her own child! Uhahahat!]

 

“…Grand Master.”

 

Eura called out to Valentis with an anxious voice as he stood up from his seat.

 

However, Valentis paid no attention and walked past her.

 

Then he walked right up to the front of the membrane.

 

His fists looking up at the projection were already clenched tight.

 

The man in the afterimage waved something in his hand.

 

[If I break this, Theseus, that bastard’s magic will go berserk, he said.]

 

It was an iron amulet with a black gem embedded in the center.

 

[I’m going to burst that bastard’s heart in the Talochium Wasteland!]

 

The man’s thick lips spread to both sides.

 

[Then Eleonora will surely throw herself to protect her child, uhahahat! Though they’ll both be blown to pieces together…]

 

The man arrogantly leaned back against the sofa.

 

[Then His Holiness will finally eliminate his long-time nemesis, El! This Croize, the most loyal of loyal subjects, will completely remove the anxiety that troubled him!]

 

The projection became blurry.

 

The membrane also began to disappear from the edges.

 

However, Croize’s voice still continued.

 

[That woman was born with excessive holy power. And because of it, she’s been revered more than necessary. When the only one who should be revered in this world is His Holiness!]

 

The cocoon’s light went out and the membrane completely disappeared.

 

Croize’s voice finally began to fade as well.

 

[Now there’s no more worry about the World Tree being revived through that woman. Valentis and the remaining brats were in our grasp from the beginning, so His Holiness’s era has truly come! Uhahahat!]

 

The disgusting laughter echoed through the atrium.

 

In the settling silence, Valentis slowly turned around.

 

His face was twisted with a terrifying intensity never seen before.

 

His tightly clenched jaw opened and a deep, low voice flowed out.

 

“Who is that author?”

 

Bloodshot eyes stared at Lucalion.

 

“Do you know anything?”

 

“Croize. That villain’s name is Croize.”

 

At Lucalion’s words, everyone in the ritual chamber held their breath.

 

“We searched the entire Serkanos Cathedral, but there were no records about that villain. All we found out was that he’s hot-tempered and a battle maniac.”

 

Tie sat quietly beside Valentis.

 

He could feel strength entering Valentis’s tightly gripped hand once again.

 

“…In the Wasteland, it was that villain who made Tesetan go berserk.”

 

At that moment, Edmund’s tightly closed lips opened.

 

He was glaring at the empty round table with blazing eyes.

 

“With the intention of eliminating Mother, that bastard used Tesetan to commit such acts…!”

 

Alexander, who had been listening, pressed his forehead.

 

Leonardo said nothing but had a coldly hardened expression.

 

“Everything was their plan… Tesetan having to live with constant pain, and what happened to Mother…”

 

Listening to Edmund’s words, Tie quietly lowered his eyebrows.

 

Grandfather and his uncles looked more frustrated and sad than ever.

 

At that moment.

 

“There’s no need to search. He’ll appear before us on his own.”

 

Tesetan muttered.

 

When he turned his head, Tesetan was sitting in his seat with an oddly calm demeanor.

 

“Can’t you tell from Luciano’s past behavior? That villain has already sent his subordinates twice instead of stepping forward himself.”

 

Several members nodded their heads.

 

Tesetan continued speaking in an even tone.

 

“So we just need to keep going. And when that villain appears before us…”

 

Tesetan’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

 

“That’s when we’ll end it.”
