A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 339

Crack- Crack- Crack-

The flying ice fragments pierced Lionel’s chest, neck, and right leg.

His massive body swayed.

“Keep pushing forward!”

Veil shouted.

He was already charging at Lionel at full speed.

“Graaah-!”

A roar burst from Lionel’s mouth.

All around was filled with the smell of blood and metal.

Was it because he had lost too much blood?

His vision shook and shook again.

“Basto-!”

At Tesetan’s voice, Basto threw a massive noose.

As the noose was placed precisely around his neck, Lionel roared.

“Mere humans-! How dare-!”

Lionel reflexively leaned back.

But the more he pulled, the deeper the noose tightened around his neck.

The rope’s end was densely connected to nearby trees and rocks.

“Just when did you…!”

Lionel gritted his teeth.

Veil didn’t miss that moment and drove his sword into Lionel’s left thigh.

“How does the blade taste! You bastard!”

Lionel cast an angry gaze downward.

Veil was running behind him with his sword drawn.

“We may not have wings, but we have experience! Dragon hunting or monster hunting, it’s all the same-!”

“Graaaah-!”

Soon two more swords pierced his back in succession.

Scales burst and blood flowed.

Even in that moment, Aleric’s ice fragments relentlessly targeted Lionel’s abdomen and ribcage.

“Drive him to the end! We need to completely destroy him!”

Tesetan charged forward, creating an opening.

The moment Aleric withdrew his ice fragments to clear a path, Lionel’s eyes flashed.

‘Yes. Now I understand.’

They were targeting Hart’s body.

‘…My vessel. My hard-earned body!’

Hart’s body was indispensable to him.

Though it was an ordinary human’s, thanks to Luciano’s intervention it could change form,

‘And it could activate magi, making it quite useful…’

“Do you think I’ll let you destroy my body!”

Sparks flew from Lionel’s golden eyes.

His chest swelled as magi began leaking out around him.

A fireball condensed in his mouth, then lava-like breath spewed in all directions.

However.

“Unit leader!”

At that moment, Aleric’s orb flashed.

Cold water exploded out from within.

At the same time, Tie leaped down from Lucalion’s back as he flew low.

As the child extended both hands, a transparent barrier of holy power formed over the water.

The water mixed with magic and holy power instantly surrounded Lionel’s breath,

Hissssss-!

And immediately extinguished the flames in one go.

Steam rose in all directions, thick enough to blur vision.

“…My breath!”

Lionel staggered backward.

Injuries, exhaustion, and severed wings.

The power of his breath had significantly weakened.

Above all, since all around was Lucalion’s domain, none of his power was effective.

‘It was a trap.’

An ominous thought flashed through his mind.

Perhaps when the battle ended, he might not be the one to claim victory.

“Don’t back down! If we miss this opening, it’s over!”

“Attack-!”

Shouts came from all directions.

But due to the steam covering his vision, he couldn’t see anything.

What was certain was that even in this moment, injuries continued to accumulate on his body.

‘They’re just small wounds from human metal, but…!’

But if their number exceeded dozens, it would be different.

He could see torn flesh falling away and scales scattering in the air.

Feeling his breathing grow rough, Lionel thought.

‘Hart’s body can no longer endure.’

Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.

“If this body gives out, I too…!”

It was natural that the soul would be damaged if the body collapsed.

Just when he was annihilated by the World Tree, how much magi had he lost?

‘How frustrating.’

His body trembled violently.

But there was no other way.

To preserve even a little strength.

To plan for even a slightly later time…

“Damn! He’s escaping!”

Veil shouted at the radiance emanating from Lionel’s body.

The soul was already separating from the dragon’s body.

[To drive me this far, I acknowledge you.]

A translucent form was half-emerging from Hart’s body.

[But I will return. Luciano is already on the very verge of reaching the divine realm!]

The unit members retreated.

Lionel’s body was rapidly shrinking.

The severed wings crumbled to dust and scattered, while what remained began turning black like burnt ash.

[Why do you think Luciano didn’t face you directly? Have you never considered it?]

Lionel’s soul, now completely emerged, laughed arrogantly.

[If you think about it, from the moment he learned your true intentions at Serkanos Cathedral, there were plenty of opportunities.]

The steam cleared, revealing the cloudy sky.

[…That man is a strategist.]

Lionel’s voice turned cold.

[Rather than face you with an imperfect body, he immediately began opening the ‘Path of God.’]

“The Path of God…?”

[Yes. To leave no chance of your victory. To choose a safer path even if it takes longer!]

Lionel’s soul completely separated from Hart’s body, which had turned to ash.

He glared at Tie and smiled.

[You won’t be able to win, seed.]

The child’s eyes widened.

[You will be defeated. You will beg to be killed-!]

His mad golden eyes flashed as if finding it ridiculous.

[And when that time comes, I will…!]

“You know.”

At that moment, Tie spoke with a hardened face.

“…Tie thinks she knows. Why the World Tree decided to eliminate you.”

Lionel flinched at the child’s eyes looking directly at him.

“You’re a dragon who has no self-reflection at all! Even now you’re just being meddlesome!”

Veil hesitantly approached Tie.

“…Th-that, Child. It’s not self-reflection, it’s introspection.”

“…”

“And it’s not meddlesome, it’s meddling…”

“Same thing!”

Tie squeezed her eyes shut and shouted, then took a step forward toward Lionel.

The child continued speaking boldly.

“Dragon, you’re right! Tie might lose to Luciano. But!”

As Tie raised one hand, the ground began to vibrate.

“Even if that happens, you won’t be able to come back to life!”

Lionel’s brow furrowed.

“Because today, right now.”

“…”

“Tie is going to send you back to where you originally belong.”

The air tore open and a gate to the Underworld opened.

“Ch-Child…!”

Veil looked up in disbelief.

Tie took a deep breath and stared at the pitch-black space that had opened.

‘At first, I could only summon bone friends and subordinates.’

But Tie had practiced constantly.

How to handle magic power, and how to handle divine power.

‘Learning from Nordics Grandfather, and learning from Uncle Aleric too…!’

The senses she gradually awakened taught Tie many things.

‘Someday, when you open a proper gate, you’ll understand.’

Lucalion’s casual words came to mind.

‘What being a Sorcerer King really means. What it means to rule the order of the world. How…’

‘…’

‘How powerful an existence you are.’

Her heart pounded.

Lionel’s soul began to tremble as he looked up at the wide-open gate.

[…No, no. That can’t be possible.]

With a terrified face, Lionel stared at Tie.

[I-I don’t want to go back! I don’t want to return! I won’t go back…!]

However, his screams couldn’t continue for long.

A red cloth extending from within the gate instantly wrapped around Lionel’s head.

[Aaaah! Get me out-!]

With his mouth covered, Lionel twisted his body.

But starting with him, dozens of red chains began pouring out from the gate.

They bound Lionel’s arms, legs, and wings as if they had been waiting.

[No-!!!]

Lionel, with one eye protruding from the cloth, let out a death scream.

The next moment.

The cloth and chains became taut all at once and dragged Lionel into the Underworld.

Then like a giant beast devouring its prey,

Crack-!

The Underworld gate that swallowed Lionel disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The sky that had been stained black suddenly brightened.

While everyone was frozen in place.

“…It’s, it’s done.”

Tie gasped for breath and collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
