A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 327
Crash-!
Bricks from all sides tumbled down as the massive castle tower building collapsed another level.
A giant shadow rose through the thick dust.
“Performer! Where did you go-!”
It was Croize.
The scars revealed between his broken armor gleamed ominously.
“Look at my power! Look closely, I say!”
His eyes blazed fiercely as they swept over the chaotic surroundings.
It was a gaze twisted with cruelty, rage, and wounded pride.
“Damn, how the hell did he get out?!”
Veil shouted and looked back at the group.
“I lured him toward the broken pillar just before the collapse! Don’t tell me he escaped even after being buried under that…”
“That’s the place!”
At that moment, a thudding sound echoed from beyond the dust.
Croize, who had stomped his foot hard, lifted up the largest chunk among the collapsed debris.
“Come out before me right now, Performer!”
Crash-!
The flying stone pillar struck right in front of Veil.
The ground cracked and split with a grinding sound.
Shocked, Livia and Aleric evacuated the maids.
Meanwhile, Daren, still tied up in the middle of the courtyard, screamed at the top of his lungs.
“H-High Priest, please save me! I’m here! This Daren is here!”
Croize growled low and stepped forward.
His figure, which had been hazy through the smoke, gradually became clearer.
“Child.”
Veil broke out in cold sweat and looked back at Tie.
“Did you call the Commander King? You called the Regent, right?”
“Yes! Kamang went to get them!”
“Hah, then…”
Veil clutched his head as if troubled.
Then he made a serious expression as if he had decided something.
“Listen carefully. It’s a shitty situation, but there’s still hope. That bastard isn’t in his right mind right now.”
“Because he’s in a fresh seaweed state?”
“I don’t know what that means, but anyway!”
Veil gestured toward Croize, who was still far away.
“First, you stay back, child. I’ll go and…”
“Huff, huff, wait! It doesn’t look like we need to buy time?”
At that moment, Livia, who had finished evacuating all the maids, came running.
She lowered her voice and spoke quickly.
“Let’s attack now! From what I can see, that bastard has tons of openings!”
Croize was now punching the debris of the completely collapsed castle tower with his fists.
“Aside from his good muscle strength, he’s got nothing. He’s slow and stupid. If several of us rush him at once and aim for his vital spots, I think we can take him down!”
“…Attack together?”
A hesitant expression appeared on Veil’s face.
Livia nodded.
“Yes! It’s different from when we faced Serafina or Mel. That’s not even like some wild boar…!”
Veil let out a groan.
After a moment, he hesitantly moved both hands to the weapons at his waist.
Livia also drew her curved sword as if she had been waiting.
She said.
“We’ll strike first, and ask Miss and Aleric to provide rear support. Then we might be able to finish this before others arrive…”
“No, I don’t think we should do that.”
At that moment, Tie raised one hand.
The child was somehow lost in deep thought.
“Why is that, Miss?”
Livia’s eyes widened.
Instead of answering, Tie looked at Croize.
His footsteps wandering over the collapsed debris.
His rough breathing and bloodshot eyes.
‘I will establish my own Achievement.’
Croize’s voice that she had overheard through Pompom came to mind.
‘All I ever did was hide and wait.’
‘If I make myself known to the world, he will properly acknowledge me too!’
Tie thought she understood.
Why Croize was so furious.
‘Because no one acknowledges him…’
The inferiority complex that no one properly looked at him.
That was Croize’s long-standing sore spot and weakness.
‘If that’s the case.’
Tie raised her head.
“Let’s not defeat Croize! We’ll talk to him and use him!”
“What?!”
Livia was startled.
“But Miss, now that we have a chance, we can’t just leave Croize alone!”
She added anxiously.
“Have you forgotten what that bastard did? He’s the one who made the Regent’s magic go berserk. That’s why Lady Eleonora died…”
“Yes. That’s exactly why we can’t defeat him now.”
At Tie’s firm voice, silence fell among the four people.
Tie continued calmly.
“If we defeat Croiz now, everyone will feel satisfied. But then Luciano will just hide again.”
Aleric closed his mouth.
Tie’s gaze became even more resolute.
“So let’s use Croiz too. Just like Luciano did. We’ll defeat him after that!”
Livia looked up with a start.
“Use him?”
“Yes! Tie is angry too. When I think about how Father, Grandfather, and Uncles were sad because of Croiz. But.”
The child clenched her fists tightly and shook her head vigorously.
“If we just act emotionally, we won’t be able to defeat Luciano!”
Tie looked around at the members.
“The Cardinals were all tools of the evil Luciano. So let’s use Croiz as a tool too!”
Veil looked up.
“Fine. But exactly how?”
He gestured toward the rampaging Croize.
“Even just calming him down seems difficult, and you want to win him over? Does that even make sense…”
“Sigh, Brother Veil!”
Tie shook her head back and forth and let out a sigh.
Then she looked at Veil with sparkling eyes.
“Tie has it all figured out!”
Croize glared around with his fists clenched tight.
His vision was completely blurry, perhaps due to the alcohol.
The performer who had dared to toy with him and escape was nowhere to be seen.
“Graaaah-!”
How wonderful it would have been if he had detection and surveillance abilities like Serafina.
But sadly, Luciano had not granted him such power.
What Luciano had bestowed upon Croize was only one thing.
Tremendous power enough to destroy everything – that was all.
“Come out! Come out right now!”
When he stomped his feet, the ground sank with thuds.
It was when Croize was trembling all over with rising anger again.
“Croiz!”
Croize’s forehead twitched at the voice he heard.
When he turned around, he saw a small silhouette standing in front of the fortress wall debris.
He growled.
“What are you!”
When he asked, the child’s eyes widened.
Then with an awkward smile, the child shouted.
“Uh-huh, I’m the Commander King!”
His steps toward the child hesitated.
Croize’s eyes slowly widened.
“Who did you say you were?”
“I’m Astie! The Commander King! You’ve been looking for me a lot, right?”
Thump, thump.
His heart began beating fiercely.
Luciano’s orders.
Find and kill Agavert and the Commander King who are wandering around in Roxe Forest.
But to think he would discover that Commander King before even entering the forest.
“Uh, uhahahaha!”
The anger subsided and excitement surged up instantly.
“To think you’d appear before me on your own feet!”
When Croize moved his steps, everything around vibrated.
His body began swelling and gradually growing larger.
“What a fearless bastard! Did you come looking for your own death!”
But even as the distance closed, the child didn’t budge.
Instead, sparkling with big eyes and staring at him intently,
“Wow-! Really cool!”
The child began jumping in place and clapping.
“What? Cool…?”
Croize froze in place.
Cool.
That was the first time he’d heard such words in all his long years roaming battlefields.
But he shook his head to dispel the confusion.
Then he twisted his expression viciously again.
“What the hell are you scheming…!”
“Tie is too weak to break even a pebble!”
But the Commander King didn’t give him a chance to speak.
Then very calmly and naturally bending down to pick up a stone fragment, the child fearlessly came running toward him with a pitter-patter.
“Croiz can break this too, right?! Since you’re so big and so strong?!”
Croize flinched.
