A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 325
Tie’s eyes widened in shock.
Livia and Aleric immediately crouched low and surveyed their surroundings.
At that moment, the backdoor of the fortress wall burst open and people began pouring out from inside.
“Run! The fortress wall is collapsing!”
Tie’s mouth fell open.
Just as the people said, the corridor and ceiling beyond the door were indeed slowly caving in.
Dust swirled violently as the ground shook.
Stone fragments came tumbling down from the cracks in the walls.
“What the hell is going on!”
Livia shouted.
Lucalion, who had been watching from all directions in the air, immediately descended and said.
“I’ll go get the others!”
Tie quickly nodded.
Just as Lucalion’s figure was disappearing into the distance.
“Kyaaah! D-Daren, sir!”
A scream-like cry rang out right in front of them.
When they turned their heads, people were crowded at the backdoor that was on the verge of collapse.
“Move! Get out of the way, you damn fools!”
Yellowish light burst with pops right before their eyes.
The maids crowded at the doorway all collapsed in a heap.
Aleric furrowed his brow.
“Magic?”
It was Daren who came running into the garden, pushing aside the fallen maids.
“Huff, gasp! That stupid performer bitch! Why did she have to provoke the High Priest, that monster!”
He looked back at the fallen maids with a pale face.
“Why the hell were they standing there blocking the way!”
He turned around, speaking incoherently.
“His Holiness will definitely bring down the fortress wall. He’s more than capable of it! Saying he’ll show his power…!”
Now that the fortress wall had become chaos.
He seemed to have concluded that the best strategy was to get as far away from the village as possible.
But just as he was about to take a step.
Tug-
Something weakly grabbed the hem of his pants.
Daren slowly turned his head.
But all he could see were the maids sitting collapsed at a distance.
“What. There’s no one…?”
“Hammer.”
A young voice rang out from below his chin.
When he looked down, a child with round eyes was standing there.
“How can you just push people around like that? And just now, that thing…”
The child pointed at the remnants of light remaining at Daren’s fingertips.
“Where did this brat come from! Get lost!”
At that moment, Daren roughly shoved the child away.
As the child staggered backward, Daren’s expression became even more menacing.
“You don’t seem to know who I am! To grab me so fearlessly!”
Daren drew up his magic power in his hand threateningly.
The watching maids held their breath.
The light flashing at Daren’s fingertips was magic.
In this village where there had never been a single mage for generations, Daren alone had manifested magic well past middle age.
At first, everyone looked at Daren with curious eyes.
Because they admired the power he had gained.
But as time passed, respect and reverence turned to fear.
Daren, having become a mage, always lived relying on alcohol and authority.
He didn’t know how to restrain his newfound power, and began threatening people with magic over trivial matters.
The problem was that followers who supported such a Daren began appearing one by one.
‘Daren’s power, you know. They say we can receive it too?’
‘What? Us too?!’
‘Yes! He definitely said he’d teach us the secret if we listen well!’
The people who followed Daren put him in the position of Elder.
Before long, that power made Daren even more violent.
‘I am the Elder! I am the very power and order of this village!’
He boasted like that whenever he had the chance.
He actually drove innocent people to be branded as heretics and executed.
However, people couldn’t easily rebel.
Because Daren’s faction had become too strong, and anyone who harbored dissatisfaction toward him could be executed at any time.
‘Still, this isn’t right…!’
But Rollan, a maid who had worked in the Castle Kitchen for two months, couldn’t just watch the scene before her eyes.
‘Attacking a child!’
No matter if he was a mage, no matter if he was an Elder, harming a child was wrong.
Rollan staggered to her feet.
Her forearm, which had been hit by Daren’s magic, was bruised black and blue, but it didn’t matter.
“Stop it, Daren!”
Rollan blocked the space between the child and Daren, closing her eyes tightly and spreading both arms.
“It’s a child!”
Her voice came out terribly shaky due to tears.
Daren’s eyes bulged.
Then he asked back as if he couldn’t believe it.
“So what. Are you saying I did something wrong right now? How dare you?”
Rollan sobbed.
“It’s, it’s not like that, it’s just that the child is innocent, so please don’t harm them…!”
Crackle-!
In an instant, sharp magic power grazed past the right side of Rollan’s face.
Rollan sat down on the ground, covering her face with her hands.
Red blood trickled down through the gaps between her fingers.
“How dare you.”
At Daren’s voice, the garden was enveloped in suffocating silence.
All the maids, including Rollan, were looking at Daren with eyes filled with terror.
Daren gathered magic power at his fingertips again.
“Now I understand. You’re a heretic too, aren’t you?”
Rollan’s eyes widened.
“I can tell by how you rebel against me, the pillar of this village who has worked day and night for everyone. That you are indeed a heretic!”
Daren’s eyes flashed with madness.
“Looking again, you’re Ophilie’s friend, aren’t you. Yes. Ophilie was a heretic too. She even ran away before repenting and reflecting on her sins.”
Daren smiled coldly.
“Good. I’ll give you severe punishment right here and now. If I put you in prison, you might escape like Ophilie did….”
As Daren raised one hand, Rollan’s body began to float upward.
“D-Daren, sir!”
Rollan flailed her legs helplessly.
However, Daren didn’t stop; instead, an even bigger smile spread across his lips.
“Ophilie too, and you as well. This is the problem with young people. Even when you could live comfortably, you ruin your own fate because of useless beliefs and pride!”
He gathered magical power in his other hand again.
“P-please spare me! Please spare me!”
Rollan’s pleas filled the courtyard.
But at that moment.
“Stop it.”
A quiet voice rang out.
At the same time, Rollan’s body that had been floating in midair dropped heavily to the ground.
Daren’s eyebrows twitched.
“…What.”
He looked back and forth between his own hand and Rollan with bewilderment.
“My magic, why….”
But that wasn’t the end of it.
The sphere of magical power floating above his hand trembled, then drifted upward against his will.
“What, what! What is this!”
He frantically raised his other hand, but the condensed magical power kept moving to strange places.
“As expected, Tie was right. Using magic, and having such a wicked heart too. You really are the villain, aren’t you?”
Soon Daren realized where his magical power was heading and shut his mouth.
Beyond Rollan.
The little kid who had confronted him earlier was taking away his magical power.
“You, you!”
As he shouted, a flash of light gleamed in the child’s green eyes.
“Your power isn’t even strong or pure. Yet you go around tormenting people.”
The child clenched their fist tightly.
Then the sphere of magical power turned bright white and began growing larger and larger.
“My goodness…!”
Rollan’s eyes widened.
Daren stood frozen in a daze before opening his mouth.
“You, you couldn’t possibly be.”
He hadn’t expected it because the child was so small and young.
That they too would be a mage.
Seeing the sphere growing in the child’s hand, Daren frantically stumbled backward.
‘That, that kid is stronger than me.’
He could tell instinctively.
That the child was incomparably stronger than him.
However.
“Where do you think you’re running to.”
There was a rustling sound from beneath his feet, then something grabbed both his ankles with a snap.
