A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 337
Flames flickered in Tie’s green eyes.
“Regent! This way!”
Tesetan ran forward frantically while holding Tie.
The forest was already engulfed in flames.
Veil frowned and shouted in the suffocatingly hot air.
“Cough! Huff, child, are you okay?!”
Tie nodded while covering her mouth with a handkerchief.
The child’s eyes shook as she looked around.
‘…The trees are burning.’
This space created by Lionel had been desolate from the beginning.
Dead trees lay fallen everywhere, and the thickets were bare without a single leaf.
The problem was that because of this, the members had even fewer places to hide.
“Running away is useless.”
Sure enough, a booming shout erupted from overhead.
A massive shadow covered the members, darkening the surroundings.
“Hand over the seed!”
A storm-like wind swept through.
The escape route that had been fine just moments ago was instantly covered in flames.
If Aleric’s orb hadn’t deployed a water barrier, everyone would have surely suffered terrible injuries.
“This way! There’s cover here-!”
In that instant, Raul and Enzo’s voices could be heard.
Tesetan quickened his pace while holding Tie.
The cover the twins mentioned was a large rock situated in the middle of the forest.
The group hiding behind the rock caught their breath while checking on each other.
That’s when it happened.
“Father. Tie has an idea…!”
Tie, who had been struggling with her handkerchief while thinking about something, spoke up.
Tesetan urgently looked down.
“An idea? What idea?”
Tie looked around at the members with a serious expression.
“If this goes on much longer, we’ll lose. So I thought about how we could win.”
The child lowered her eyelashes for a moment before speaking.
“Lionel is dead, right? Originally, dead people can’t come back to life.”
Tie looked directly at Tesetan.
“So if Hart’s body that’s here now gets destroyed, won’t Lionel have nowhere to go?”
Tesetan’s lips parted slightly.
Indeed.
Hearing Tie’s words, something came to mind.
‘He gave me a new vessel. The body of a human called Hart.’
The words Lionel had said before chaos broke out.
‘He said this: ‘If you fulfill my cause, I will craft you a new body’.’
“…You’re right. Lionel needs a body.”
Lionel’s original body had already been destroyed by the World Tree.
It was Luciano who had given him Hart, and if Hart’s body disappeared,
“We might be able to neutralize him. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but…”
“But how do we attack that bastard?”
Veil quickly interjected.
He was looking up at Lionel circling in the sky with a tense expression.
“This is definitely a fight that’s disadvantageous for us. That monster has wings, and we don’t!”
Aleric nodded.
Then Tie stepped forward once again.
“Then, wouldn’t it work if we make Lionel come down?”
The child continued while meeting everyone’s gaze focused on her.
“If Lionel falls to the ground, then we can catch him, right?”
At those words, Lucalion, who had been listening quietly, narrowed his eyes.
In the sky above.
“…You make things troublesome, usurper.”
Lionel’s voice echoed through the heavens.
As he flapped his massive wings, lightning struck down through the clouds with a crash.
“Hand over the seed. Then I’ll let you preserve your lives for a few days. Is this such a difficult proposal?”
As he slowly changed direction, something could be seen crossing between the distant clouds.
It was Lucalion, who had been circling around him and drawing his attention.
“Stop hiding and come out-!”
Lionel shouted while chasing after him.
But he couldn’t catch up to Lucalion, who was flying while changing directions left and right.
“…This is why immature dragons are troublesome.”
Lionel growled low and spread his wings wide to both sides.
As he flapped his wings, the dark clouds in the vicinity were pushed away and the view opened up clearly.
But in the finally brightened view, Lucalion was nowhere to be seen.
Lionel’s eyes swept the sky above.
“Where are you.”
However, his figure was visible neither in the sky nor on the ground completely engulfed in dragon breath.
His long, slit pupils were eerily watching in all directions when,
“You stupid dragon! I’m here-!”
A young voice came from behind him.
When he turned his head, he saw something rapidly rising from the ground.
Lucalion, with his small, young body compared to an adult, and,
“Nyah nyah nyah! Try to catch me!”
Astie, the World Tree’s seed, riding on top of him.
Lionel’s eyes narrowed at the sight of them quickly passing in front of him.
“…What are you scheming.”
Until now, Lucalion had been focused solely on drawing his attention.
Meanwhile, the humans on the ground seemed to continue moving while holding the seed.
‘Obviously, their plan must have been to hide from me.’
But now.
For some reason, Lucalion was flitting about in front of him with the seed on his back.
And the seed was,
“You can’t catch me, can you? I’m too fast so you can’t catch me at all?! You stupid dragon!”
Fearlessly waving her hands at him.
“…Fine.”
Lionel, who had been frowning, muttered.
He began gliding at high speed.
“If that’s what you want, I’ll properly deal with you.”
Kwaagwang-!
Just then, dark clouds that had gathered again scattered fierce rain.
Tie hugged Lucalion’s neck even tighter.
“C-cold!”
The fierce wind struck her face.
The intense rain mixed within made it hard to even open her eyes properly.
Lucalion looked back at Tie.
“Just hold on a little longer! You know this! Once we’ve started, we have to see it through to the end!”
Tie nodded while her teeth chattered.
In the distance.
Each time lightning struck, she could see Lionel chasing after Tie and Lucalion.
The words Lucalion had said before taking flight came to mind.
‘There’s only one chance. If we miss it, there might not be a next time. Do you understand what I mean?’
Tie took a deep breath.
Then she carefully went over the plan again.
‘Your role is important, Tie.’
To destroy the body that Lionel had taken over, they had to drag him down to the ground.
But Lionel rarely came down from the sky.
In this situation, there was only one thing everyone could do.
‘Someone has to go up to the sky and destroy Lionel’s wings.’
However, the problem started from there.
‘How do we attack that villain?’
‘Even if we throw spears, it’s not a distance they can reach. Besides, we can’t move freely because of the flames…’
‘If it’s Astie, I can take her up there.’
While everyone was wracking their brains in this hopeless situation.
It was Lucalion who first came up with a good idea.
‘Let’s use your subordinates. We’ll go up high in the sky, near Lionel.’
‘We’re going to the sky?’
‘Yes. I can’t carry other people, but you’re possible. Besides, only you and the mage can attack from long range.’
Lucalion’s words made sense.
But there was still another problem.
‘But Kamang. Tie can’t summon her subordinates in this forest…!’
Tie hadn’t been able to use her magic and divine power properly since leaving the village.
However, Lucalion answered as if he had expected this.
‘Of course. Dragons can freely control the Croah that exists within their domain.’
Croah was a term referring to all kinds of energy that existed in the world.
That meant within Lionel’s domain, Tie’s power was also useless.
‘The reason Marbas, Ppupppu, and the Pompoms are quiet. The reason the World Tree inside you isn’t responding. It’s all because of that.’
‘Then how are you okay, Kamang?’
‘That’s because I’m also a dragon like Lionel.’
Lucalion’s eyes looking at Tie were very serious.
‘Listen carefully, Astie. I’m still young and my power is incomplete. But.’
‘…’
‘I can spread my domain within this area, even if just briefly.’
Lucalion gestured toward Lionel in the sky above.
‘While I maintain my domain, you open the gate to the Underworld. Then we’ll drag Lionel down together. Do you understand?’
Tie froze with her mouth open, then quickly nodded.
‘I understand!’
And now.
Lucalion, who had closed the distance with Lionel while pretending to flee, tensed his body.
Soon an urgent shout was heard.
“Now! Astie!”
Everything around became muffled as the rain and wind suddenly stopped.
Something sphere-shaped began extending from Lucalion’s body.
It was growing larger and larger, pushing away Lionel’s energy that filled the surroundings.
