A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 329
Croize’s massive frame swayed.
His eyes had already turned pitch black, no longer resembling human eyes.
“Did you think Croize would betray me?”
Croize, no, another being lurking within his body spoke.
“And did you think I would just let that happen?”
Crash-!
Croize struck the ground.
The spreading cracks shattered the surrounding rocks.
The fence collapsed as the earth exploded upward.
Livia quickly scooped up Astie and leaped backward.
“Really, really, how annoying…”
Explosions continued along with Croize’s muttering.
Tie urgently looked back at the group.
“Croiz has gone strange!”
Aleric drew his orb and replied.
“That’s not Croize! Look carefully!”
Tie swallowed nervously and stared at Croize again.
Pitch-black corrupted holy power flowed through Croize’s veins.
Blood dripped from both eyes, and his body was grotesquely twisted in places.
“This dog is mine. A tool I designed to tear and destroy you!”
Croize’s muscles swelled as if they would burst.
He growled, raised his head, and roared.
Tie blinked anxiously.
“Croiz…”
A drop of cold sweat trickled down the child’s forehead.
“That’s Luciano. Croiz has been erased!”
In the midst of the raging battle, Daren squeezed his eyes shut.
His face was already drenched in cold sweat.
Swoosh- Bang-!
A massive shadow swept past in front of him.
It was Croize, rampaging wildly as if to overturn the entire village.
“Ugh…”
Daren bit his lips at the dust that rushed into his eyes.
Words he wanted to shout rose right up to his throat.
‘If you’re going to fight, at least untie me first-!’
But he couldn’t voice those words.
Daren observed the chaotic battle situation with trembling eyes.
“Aleric! Aim for the side!”
“Over here, Croize-! Look this way!”
The performer.
No, the group of the man who had been disguised as a performer was strong.
Though they each wielded different weapons, they worked well together, and that coordination was pushing Croize to his limits.
‘If I interfere, I’ll die.’
With this instinctive realization, Daren bit his trembling lips even harder.
And at the same time.
“What! My sword won’t come out!”
Livia, who had been clinging to Croize’s left shoulder, shouted in a panicked voice.
She urgently looked back at Aleric.
“This bastard’s flesh is like stone! What do we do, ahhh!”
At that moment, Croize roughly flung Livia away.
If Tie hadn’t quickly lifted her into the air, she would have been seriously injured.
“Damn it, just stay back for now!”
Veil took advantage of the opening to charge at Croize again and shouted.
Livia, who had gotten up, looked at Aleric and Veil with troubled eyes.
“Wh-what do we do, Miss? That bastard is like that thing! What Danzu mentioned before…!”
Tie nodded with a serious expression.
“Yeah, a zombie…!”
But it was true.
Croize, controlled by Luciano, was like a war machine that had lost its reason.
Unable to feel pain, he kept getting back up no matter how serious his injuries.
Yet his strength and combat ability remained intact, so the ones getting exhausted from fighting were Tie’s group.
“We can’t kill him like this! No, does this bastard even die?”
Veil shouted while barely dodging Croize’s attack.
Tie gritted her teeth and summoned skeletons more earnestly.
It was to hold down the constantly moving Croize even a little.
However,
“Gasp!”
The bone friends she summoned kept breaking easily under Croize’s monstrous strength.
Tie looked up at Livia with a tearful expression.
“The bone friends say they can’t fight anymore!”
The Pompoms had been knocked out long ago, and the skeletons were at their limit too.
They were undead beings, but they needed time to recover their broken parts.
“Weapons, are there any weapons around?”
Livia looked around.
Since her curved sword was stuck in Croize’s shoulder, she needed to find another weapon.
However, the backyard was already in complete chaos.
“I can’t see an inch ahead because of the dust!”
“Do something! This is really too much now!”
Veil urged.
Tie hesitated, then prepared to draw up her holy power.
She had wanted to conserve her strength in preparation for facing Luciano, but now this was the only option.
‘Since I don’t have the teddy bear orb, Tie has to do it alone.’
Her heart pounded rapidly.
Just as Tie took a deep breath and focused her mind on her fingertips.
Crash-!
With an explosive sound, several shadows burst into the middle of the battlefield.
“You bastard, perfect timing.”
Tie’s eyes widened at the sight of someone smiling coldly upon seeing Croize.
“Uncle Edmund…?”
Then a smile formed on the child’s face.
“Little Uncle and youngest Uncle!”
Edmund walking in with his sword glowing bright blue.
Leonardo and Alexander following behind him.
The rest of the group from the reed field had just arrived.
That wasn’t all.
“Tie! Sorry we’re late! Monsters appeared in the reed field!”
Basto, covered in monster filth all over his body, came running urgently.
He was carrying Tie’s preschool bag containing Ppupppu and Marbas on one shoulder.
“Master! You’re safe! The Reed Field was in complete chaos! I wondered where so many demons suddenly appeared from, but it must have been that bastard Luciano trying to trap us there…!”
“…Kyut! Kyut!”
Ppupppu struck down on Marbas, who was frantically pouring out words, with loud thudding sounds.
Ppupppu pointedly gestured toward the back with her eyes for Tie to see.
“Kyuut!”
Tie’s eyes widened as she turned her gaze.
“Father!”
Tesetan was walking toward them from the very back.
For some reason, Tesetan approached Tie with a calm expression and said,
“Father was a little late, wasn’t he?”
Then he added,
“Let’s finish dealing with that first, then talk.”
Tie checked where her father’s gaze was directed and closed her mouth.
Tesetan was glaring at Croize.
That same Croize who had caused Eleonora’s death by making his magic power run wild.
“Basto. Please.”
Basto nodded his head.
Tie watched Tesetan’s retreating figure as he moved away.
Tesetan, who had gotten closer to Croize, drew his sword.
On the opposite side, Valentis had somehow taken position.
Realizing the situation, Croize stopped in his tracks.
His blood-stained lips twisted in a bizarre manner.
“Foolish creatures.”
A cold and fishy voice flowed through his lips.
Tesetan’s eyes darkened.
“I have regarded you as mere maggots. Insignificant beings not even worthy of being beast fodder.”
“…”
“But to think those maggots would grow into swarms of blowflies. To think they would cling annoyingly and gnaw at my flesh…”
Croize, no, Luciano laughed.
“Kuk, keuh, kahahaha-!”
He looked around at the five members of the Luminen Family.
“Yes, you must want revenge. I understand you. Though it won’t bring Eleonora back to life.”
Everyone from the Luminen Family flinched.
The next moment.
Tesetan’s cold sword light struck Croize’s torso directly.
The other three lords and Valentis also unleashed their respective strikes.
“Keuuk, keoheok… Kahahaha!”
Croize’s own groans and Luciano’s voice speaking through his body mixed together eerily.
However, Croize did not fall.
Instead, he moved his heavy body and took a step forward.
Tie watched that scene blankly with her mouth agape.
Croize was walking toward Tesetan while seriously injured to the point where it was miraculous he was even standing.
“Watch carefully.”
The distance between Croize and Tesetan narrowed to right in front of each other.
“Mel was like this, and so was Serafina. And today Croize too.”
Croize grinned wickedly.
“You must have thought the situation was hopeful as you defeated my subordinates one by one. Perhaps you truly believed you could bring me down. However.”
His face hardened coldly.
“Cardinals and such. To me, they are merely disposable consumables.”
Croize’s massive arms moved and grabbed Tesetan’s sword blade.
“When one falls, replace it with another. When that falls, replace it with yet another. Like this.”
Then without hesitation, he pulled it toward his own chest.
With a gruesome sound, blood dripped down to the floor.
Croize wore a sinister smile on his lips even while staggering.
“But how do you plan to replace yourself?”
He stared directly into Tesetan’s eyes.
“When you lose your father and brothers, and even your daughter.”
Tesetan startled.
Croize turned his head toward Tie as if to show off.
“Like Eleonora, that small and weak child too.”
He smiled.
“Once you lose her, you’ll never be able to get her back.”
