A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 336
Crack—
Dust and small stone fragments fell from the ceiling.
As if invisible hands were turning the world upside down, the air suddenly twisted.
“…Child, get back!”
Veil shouted.
Tie hurriedly nodded and hid behind Tesetan.
But at that moment.
“What is that?”
White cracks spread through the empty air.
A chilling scent was seeping out from within the cracked gaps.
The smell of wet earth and metal, and air that had somehow turned sharp.
The ground trembled slightly, and soon something staggered out from the center of the crack.
“Hah, haah…”
Rough breathing.
Blood-tinged golden eyes, black scales densely spread beneath the skin.
The unidentified man swayed as he approached the group, then stopped a few steps away.
Then.
“You must run!”
He shouted with a mad smile hanging on his lips.
He muttered in a hoarse voice while glaring at Tesetan.
“Since you’ve set foot in this place, that child is…”
The man’s gaze turned toward Tie.
The members simultaneously placed their hands on their weapons.
Seeing this, the man burst into laughter.
“It’s already too late. You all, this place is already…!”
But soon the man’s words trailed off.
He panted for a moment, then clutched his head with both pale hands.
“Ugh… Aaah! Aaaaah—!
The members froze at the blood-curdling scream.
The man tore at his hair with pale hands while repeatedly banging his forehead on the ground.
“Hahaha—! He will come! Haah, he will make me, complete again—!”
His head twisted grotesquely.
Soon, two eyes with clear focus stared at Tie.
“So I can… devour that thing…!”
Tesetan’s expression hardened.
He drew his sword.
Basto and Veil instinctively pushed Tie back.
That’s when it happened.
Crack—
A disgusting sound burst from the man’s body.
“…What the.”
Livia muttered lowly.
The man’s spine was twisting grotesquely.
Strange patterns blazed up like flames over his skin.
“Ugh, guh, grrrgh…”
His bloodshot eyes rolled back, then his whites split vertically.
“Uhaha, ha, kheuk…!”
The groaning man’s voice suddenly stopped.
In the moment of silence.
“Shut up, Hart.”
A completely different voice echoed.
“Who said you could use my tongue as you please?”
Tie’s lips parted.
The man’s changed voice was not human.
Pitch-black corruption flowed down between the scales covering the man’s body.
“Foolish thing.”
The man slowly closed and opened his eyes as if breathing in fresh air.
Then he stood up and moved his vertically torn golden eyes to thoroughly scan the cave.
Spotting Lucalion, the man wore a crooked smile.
“…Indeed, it’s been a long time.”
His golden eyes flashed with murderous intent.
“Usurper.”
“Lionel.”
Lucalion answered.
Tie gulped.
Lionel.
A dragon who existed before Lucalion, but was destroyed by the World Tree.
‘…He’s the same kind of dragon. But unlike Kamang, he’s scary.’
Tie hid deeper behind Tesetan.
She could feel dense malice from Lionel.
Golden eyes with their surface peeling in places, even the demonic energy seeping through the gaps in his scales.
Lionel laughed lowly.
“You remember my name, Lucalion.”
Lucalion narrowed his eyes.
“How could I forget.”
He looked straight at Lionel and added.
“You are the very reason for my birth, after all.”
Tie’s eyes widened.
Laughter burst from Lionel’s mouth.
“Ha… Hahaha! Yes, that’s right!”
The laughter grew louder.
“You’re right. The gods abandoned me and put you in that position instead. Just because I tried to cross the divine boundary once.”
Rage flared in his eyes.
“…I obeyed them my entire life. I maintained the world’s order and sacrificed everything. But those damn Absolute Beings…”
“Don’t make excuses.”
Lucalion said with a frown.
“Crossing the line was your own will, Lionel.”
“…”
“So you weren’t abandoned, you fell on your own.”
Lionel’s lips twisted.
The demonic energy emanating from him surged like a storm.
“Yes… I fell. For the sin of trying to reach them!”
As he raised his chin, the cave walls shook.
“Do you think you could even imagine it? My sorrow from being trapped for nearly a thousand years! My despair—!”
As he took a step forward, the air grew heavy.
“Some say I was punished because I coveted the gods’ position! But that’s not it!”
Wings burst out, tearing through Lionel’s back.
Blood splattered as the cave wall instantly receded into the distance.
In the middle of the sprawling wasteland, Lionel shouted.
“I did not die because I coveted! I was destroyed because I understood their flaws!”
The earth began to shake from afar.
With the sound of beating wings, Lionel rose into the air.
“The world is written with a history of usurpation, Lucalion.”
Magic energy rippled from Lionel’s fingertips.
“Those villains burned my heart. My flesh disappeared without leaving a single piece of meat.”
Lionel covered his chest with one hand.
“But my soul remained. And one usurper like you kindled a spark in that soul.”
Lucalion’s eyes trembled.
“…Luciano.”
“Yes, Luciano.”
Lionel smiled.
“He gave me a new vessel. The body of a human called Hart.”
A sandstorm arose.
As the dusty air settled and cleared, Lionel’s crumbling face was revealed.
Burn scars covering half his face and pus flowing down from them.
“Though it’s merely a human’s, it’s not bad. This body willingly treads upon pits full of stakes and plains covered with flames at my single command.”
The unit members’ faces turned pale.
Aleric muttered in disbelief.
“Then, the strange things that happened in the forest were really…”
At that moment.
“I made a contract with him. Usurper.”
Lionel’s voice rumbled low across the wasteland.
“He said this: ‘If you fulfill my cause, I will forge you a new body.'”
The corners of Lionel’s mouth slowly rose.
“Luciano intends to ascend to the throne of god. He plans to devour the Living Realm and become the Absolute Being.”
Lucalion’s fingers stiffened slightly.
At that moment, Tie realized that Ppupppu and Marbas in her bag were quiet.
The Pompoms who had fallen one by one in Roxe Forest still hadn’t regained consciousness either.
At that moment.
Space warped once again.
This time the wasteland disappeared and a plain where all life had died black spread out.
“I will devour the Underworld in that gap.”
At the following words, Lucalion closed his mouth.
“While Luciano rules the living, I will devour the dead and become another god!”
Lionel’s eyes blazed red.
“When that day comes, all death will return under my name! The life that was futilely stolen, the glory, everything will be mine again-!”
A roar that shook heaven and earth erupted.
Hart’s clothes tore as a massive dragon revealed itself.
Lionel’s golden eyes turned toward Lucalion.
“So, usurper.”
His voice rumbled low.
“Hand over the seed to me.”
Whoosh-
The surrounding forest instantly began to burn.
Heat struck their cheeks, and low-hanging smoke went down everyone’s throats.
Violent coughing erupted here and there.
Tesetan hurriedly covered Tie’s mouth.
The unit members took defensive positions.
But the flames that surrounded the group in a circle were gradually spreading inward.
Lionel looked down at Tie and the group.
“If you don’t hand it over-“
His golden eyes narrowed cruelly.
“I’ll kill everyone here and take it.”
