A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 334
Tie gripped the edge of the cart tightly and opened her eyes wide.
“Draw your swords!”
“Maintain formation! They’re coming from the left!”
The forest instantly became chaos.
Blood-red eyes like crimson.
Grotesque appearances with bones and flesh twisted together.
Unfamiliar monsters endlessly burst forth from all directions.
“Child! Get down!”
In an instant, Veil shouted.
As Tie quickly ducked her head, a sharp sword tip grazed over her head, slicing through the air.
“Kieek-!”
One monster that had flown in from a nearby tree was sent flying.
Tesetan hurriedly bent down to Tie.
“Just stay here for a moment and don’t move. Got it?”
Tie frantically nodded her head.
As Tesetan grabbed his sword and rushed into the battlefield, a chaotic combat scene unfolded before her eyes.
“Straight ahead!”
Basto swung his warhammer down on a monster’s head, and the paladins formed ranks while dealing with the rushing monsters one by one.
The problem was that there was no end to the number of monsters.
“The monsters keep coming…!”
When one fell, another would take its place.
When that one fell, yet another would replace it.
“Tie has to help too!”
Tie quickly gathered mana at her fingertips.
At this rate, it seemed impossible to block all the rushing monsters.
However, she couldn’t hear the voices of her bone friends and subordinates.
It seemed she had overused her mana while fighting Croize.
An anxious expression appeared on Tie’s face.
However, the child shook her head and concentrated again.
‘If mana won’t work, Tie also has holy power.’
By using holy power, she could cast barriers on the members fighting.
Perhaps she could purify or eliminate the monsters.
However.
“…Strange. Why won’t holy power work either?”
At Tie’s voice, Lucalion, who had been circling above helping the members, landed on the cart.
“What do you mean? You can’t use your power?”
Tie looked up restlessly.
“Tie doesn’t know either. Suddenly…”
At that moment.
Thud-
Something fell weakly beside Tie.
The child’s eyes widened as she turned her head.
“Pompom?”
The Pompoms that had been surrounding Tie like guards just moments ago were falling to the ground one by one.
“Groan-!”
At the same time, a groan burst from the front.
The paladins whose formation had collapsed were being pushed back by the monsters’ assault, retreating one by one.
Their swords, which had been emitting holy light, had lost their glow in the blink of an eye.
“Retreat to the rear!”
Tesetan shouted.
He rushed forward as the leader, blocking the largest monster while saying.
“Return toward the village and secure visibility! We need to occupy a hill or flat ground!”
Basto, wiping monster blood from his face, nodded.
“Everyone retreat!”
As Tesetan said, the forest trees were becoming major obstacles in fighting the monsters.
The members began turning direction one by one.
“Miss, let’s go!”
Livia, who had run from somewhere, lifted Tie up.
She abandoned the cart and began running in the direction they had come from.
Breathing heavily, she reassured Tie.
“Don’t worry. Once we get out of the forest, those things will be a piece of cake.”
“…Really?”
“Of course! It’s actually fortunate this happened right after we started. If this had happened after going much deeper, it would have taken forever just to get out of the forest…”
But then.
“Livia! Watch out!”
Aleric blocked the path in front of Tie and Livia.
Livia swayed greatly and Tie dangled from Livia’s neck.
When her dizzy vision stabilized, an unbelievable scene unfolded before her eyes.
“…What is this?”
Roxe Forest was changing.
The trees seemed to shake slightly, then the shadows rippled.
The path the expedition had taken disappeared, and the soil beneath their feet rippled like small waves.
“The path is being erased!”
Livia shouted in panic.
Veil swept the surroundings with angry eyes.
“…This isn’t the monsters’ doing. Luciano or his subordinates must be nearby!”
He looked around the hazy surroundings and swung his sword at the air.
“Come out! Don’t hide like a coward and come out!”
But there was no answer.
The monsters had somehow become quiet, and a strange light began spreading through the air.
“Everyone stay together!”
Tesetan shouted.
However, for some reason, that sound came from very far away.
“Father-!”
Tie’s eyes filled with fear.
“Father? Where are you…?!”
“Miss, it’s okay.”
Livia frantically patted Tie’s back.
“It’ll be nothing serious. Let’s go toward where we hear the voice, slowly. Okay?”
Tie sniffled and nodded.
At some point, the group had been torn apart.
At this moment, only Aleric, Livia, and Veil were by Tie’s side.
For a while, only the sound of Livia stepping on fallen leaves filled the surroundings.
Veil and Aleric held their breath while maintaining a state of alert.
Everything around was distorted in a hazy white, and thick fog had swallowed both path and direction.
At some point, even the ground beneath their feet was barely visible.
“Regent!”
Livia’s cry became an echo that reverberated through the forest.
When no answer came back, Tie’s fingertips trembled.
Livia looked straight ahead and said.
“Let’s go a little further.”
Tie nodded.
How much further did they walk like that?
“Livia. Over there.”
Aleric whispered.
Tie’s eyes widened as she looked where he was pointing.
“There’s something there!”
As Livia moved toward that place, the fog seemed to lift momentarily.
Soon something revealed itself in their view.
“Wait a minute.”
Veil muttered.
His face was filled with confusion.
“This is that cave!”
What appeared before them was an entrance.
A familiar cave entrance surrounded by rocks.
Livia stopped in place, frowning.
Aleric let out a hollow laugh.
“That can’t be.”
He created a cluster of light at his fingertips to illuminate the dark interior of the cave.
But truly, there was nothing unfamiliar inside the cave.
Traces of a fire that had been lit.
A broken wooden sword.
A water bottle left behind and even the tree branch that Tie had dropped while playing with it.
Everything was traces left by the expedition when they had rested there a few days ago.
“This doesn’t make sense.”
Livia looked back at Aleric and Veil with an anxious face.
“This is the cave where we camped. It should be at least three more days away from the village!”
Veil said nothing.
He only watched outside the cave with a pale face.
Meanwhile, Aleric stepped deeper inside.
The light source at his fingertips flickered, making the shadows inside the cave sway.
It was during the suffocating silence that followed for a while.
Rustle-
An unexpected sound of human presence came from inside.
Veil immediately raised his sword and blocked the way in front of Livia and Tie.
Aleric also placed one hand on his orb and took a combat stance.
However, what emerged from the darkness shortly after were unexpected people.
“Livia?”
Tesetan, covered in cold sweat, frowned as he looked at Tie’s group.
He approached Tie step by step, then.
“…Hah, Tie!”
He rushed over and embraced Tie.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s fine now.”
Tie’s eyes widened.
Tesetan’s chest, as he rambled incoherently, was rising and falling at an unusually rapid pace.
Sensing something strange, Tie looked up.
“Father, are you okay? What’s wrong?”
Tesetan hesitated.
His face when he looked up had become unrecognizably gaunt in such a short time.
At his lack of response, Livia, Aleric, and Veil frowned.
“…Astie!”
Just then, other people began to emerge one by one from behind Tesetan.
Basto, who had rushed forward, collapsed to the ground.
“You’re safe-!”
The other members each let out sighs of relief, and Lucalion stopped in his tracks, staring intently at Tie.
Livia, who had been hesitating, spoke up.
“What’s wrong with everyone?”
She looked back at Aleric and Veil.
“Am I the only one who finds this strange? Everyone’s reaction to being separated for just a few dozen minutes…”
“A few dozen minutes?”
Lucalion interrupted Livia’s words.
“A few dozen minutes, you say.”
His voice cracked.
Lucalion bit his lips as if in pain, then raised his head again to look at Tie.
“It’s been a month.”
The cave fell silent.
Lucalion looked around at the group and continued.
“We’ve been wandering around for the past month searching for you, not knowing if you were alive or dead…”
The end of his voice trembled precariously.
“We just barely found you moments ago.”
