A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 335

Livia muttered as if she couldn’t believe it.

“…That’s a lie. A month, that can’t be possible.”

She pointed toward the cave entrance with a confused expression.

“We came here right after we realized we were scattered, look! The sun outside is still the same…”

However, her words were soon cut off.

The sunlight that had been illuminating the forest until they entered had vanished without a trace.

Darkness without even a moon seemed to have swallowed the entire forest.

Raul stepped forward.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it really has been a month.”

He pointed with his fingertip at the empty cart the rear guard had brought.

“I don’t know the exact number of days. But we’ve been wandering around this area continuously, and the 5 weeks’ worth of provisions we received from the village ran out a week ago.”

Tie’s eyes widened upon seeing the empty cart.

“That’s what Tie rode in!”

Enzo nodded.

“That’s right. We also moved as soon as we realized we were scattered, but we couldn’t find any clues about you four in the end. This cart was the only thing we managed to recover.”

Veil clenched his fists.

Aleric, who had been listening quietly, stepped forward with a serious expression.

“…What about the Paladins? I don’t see the Paladins anywhere.”

Victor let out a sigh.

“We separated two weeks ago after saying we’d split up to search for Tie. We haven’t encountered them even once since then.”

Tie’s eyes grew wide.

Thinking about the path they had taken to reach the cave, an ominous feeling welled up.

“…They might be lost.”

At the child’s trembling voice, Victor nodded.

“We were thinking the same thing. The problem is that we can’t find them…”

“What do you mean you can’t find them?”

Livia asked urgently.

Victor stared at her intently.

“Didn’t you feel it on your way here?”

When Livia furrowed her brow, Victor continued.

“Why do you think we’ve been wandering here for a whole month? This forest has been making us go in circles.”

Victor turned his gaze toward the cave entrance.

“This is a place where day and night switch in the blink of an eye. Even if we leave markings on trees, when we turn around, those markings disappear.”

“…”

“Far from finding traces of others, it was hard to even recognize the paths we had taken. We barely met you and Danzu just when we were almost giving up.”

Livia drew in a short breath.

After a moment, she asked as if she couldn’t believe it.

“So you’re saying the space-time of this forest is currently distorted?”

Her voice trembled.

“Time flows differently. To explain space changing randomly, that’s the only possibility!”

“That hypothesis does seem most plausible at present.”

Aleric muttered and frowned heavily.

“But whether such a thing is even possible…”

“It’s possible!”

At that moment, Tie suddenly exclaimed.

The child was looking at Lucalion with a tense expression.

“Kamang did it! When Tie was a baby, Kamang also changed time and space to send Tie to Jongno-gu!”

Tesetan raised his head.

“…Come to think of it.”

A scene from his memories surfaced in his mind.

A different timeline from now.

That time when Trevaga was annihilated and Lucalion was also on the verge of becoming a monster due to going berserk.

‘I must protect.’

Lucalion had twisted space-time to save Tie.

Thus, he moved Tie to South Korea, avoiding Luciano’s eyes.

Tesetan stared at Lucalion.

“Can you explain?”

Lucalion furrowed his brow.

A moment of silence continued, and just as his mouth was about to open.

“I know about that…!”

Marbas rolled out from inside Tie’s bag that had been loaded on the empty cart.

He brushed off the dust on his body and then urgently bounced toward Tie with hop, hop sounds.

“I will never be separated from Master again! Never!”

Marbas absorbed Tie’s holy power and drew in a breath.

“Hah, twisting space-time isn’t something just anyone can do!”

His gaze turned toward everyone.

“That is originally a divine authority. Because it involves touching the boundary between the living world and the underworld, that is, between the living and the dead.”

Livia furrowed her brow.

“Then who exactly can do such a thing? Luciano?”

“No! Luciano is still incomplete. Those who can handle such abilities are predetermined.”

Marbas raised his finger.

“The authorized ones. A very small number of beings who received direct permission from the gods.”

He turned his gaze toward Lucalion.

“Throughout history, only one race has received that authorization. Dragons.”

Murmuring arose among the members.

“Dragons?”

“Yes.”

Marbas nodded.

“Dragons are demigods. They are beings closest to the gods. Whether one is born in an era is questionable, and they are also the only race that can perceive and cross the boundaries of the world. That’s why they were given a unique mission in the world by the Absolute Beings.”

“A mission?”

When Basto asked, Marbas answered quite seriously.

“That is connecting the living world and the underworld. Becoming a bridge between the two worlds.”

“Tie knows too.”

Tie carefully raised one hand.

“That’s the Commander King, right? Right?”

Marbas nodded.

“That’s correct.”

He calmly faced Tie.

“Although Master is currently using that name as an alias, originally ‘Commander King’ was a title referring to Lord Lucalion.”

His voice lowered.

“Communicating with things from the underworld was also originally Lord Lucalion’s ability.”

Tie closed her mouth and then carefully asked.

“But now Tie uses that power. What’s the reason?”

Marbas caught his breath and answered.

“That’s because on the day the timeline changed, Lord Lucalion pledged loyalty to Master. A dragon’s imprint is a kind of contract.”

“A contract?”

“Yes. Lord Lucalion made an imprint dedicating his life, soul, and authority to Master. As a result, the ‘Sorcerer King’s’ abilities were also transferred to Master.”

Tie’s lips parted.

She recalled the first day she had summoned her bone friends.

Just as Marbas said, that day the dead had indeed been whispering in Tie’s ears like this.

‘Commander King.’

‘Master of the Underworld.’

In fact, the reason Tie had chosen ‘Sorcerer King’ as her alias was because of that.

‘The bone friends kept calling Tie that, so without realizing it, those words became familiar to Tie.’

“Anyway! The conclusion is this!”

Marbas raised his voice to refresh the surroundings.

“Something! Someone with power rivaling a dragon in its prime is exerting influence on Roxe Forest!”

The cave fell silent.

Veil, who had been watching, furrowed his brow.

“So. In the end, you don’t know who did this either?”

Marbas flinched.

“Ahem! Well, you could say that’s the case…”

He immediately bounced on Tie’s palm.

“But one thing has become certain, hasn’t it? That Luciano isn’t the culprit behind this! An incomplete being like Luciano couldn’t possibly use abilities on this scale!”

Tie’s eyebrows drooped.

“Then what do we do?”

The child’s green eyes were already filled with anxious worry.

“…The Pompoms have disappeared! The opponent is so strong they can prevent Tie from using both magic and divine power. But it’s not Luciano.”

Silence descended on the cave.

“If we can’t know who the opponent is, we can’t fight and win. We need to find Luciano, but what if we keep getting lost in the forest.”

Moisture slowly welled up in Tie’s eyes.

“We also need to find Grandfather and Uncle who disappeared…!”

That’s when it happened.

“I have a suspicion.”

Lucalion raised his head.

A cold light appeared in his red eyes that had been downcast the whole time.

“Lionel.”

The unit members’ brows furrowed in unison.

“A dragon that existed before me. The previous generation’s Sorcerer King, and also a being that was destroyed by the World Tree’s hand.”

Lucalion looked down at the ground with a complicated expression.

“But what if Luciano revived that Lionel?”

Tie closed her mouth.

“Then wouldn’t this forest’s time distortion, disappearing paths, blocking of divine power and magic… wouldn’t all of it be explained?”

Tie swallowed dryly.

It was the moment when the hesitating child was about to give some response.

Crumble-

Broken stone dust fell from the quiet cave wall.

The moment Tie raised her head.

The wind sound that had been circling inside the cave suddenly- stopped.
