A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 34

“But after I turned eight, I started getting busy. Cal Worven kept pushing me onto battlefields. Still, the compensation was decent, so I just focused on that and went around conquering Mastones.”

Unlike his calm voice, the helm in Basto’s hands was spinning busily.

The ship with an experienced helmsman rode the current and approached the Mastone at high speed.

“Then I sent Lilia away first. It’s all my fault.”

“…”

“Veil. I’m someone who can’t easily become cold-hearted about certain things. No, I don’t want to become cold-hearted.”

Veil sighed, but Basto continued speaking.

“You saw it too. What expression the magistrate of Pearl City had. The children he was looking for are there.”

The Mastone that had drawn closer was showing off a more magnificent appearance than expected.

In fact, the size and appearance of Mastones that sprouted up all over the continent varied greatly.

Except for the fact that they were made entirely of black stone, they were difficult to distinguish from ordinary buildings.

The Mastone before Basto and Veil’s eyes was shaped like a temple supported by four pillars.

“We have to save them. I can’t go back after seeing them alive.”

One of those pillars.

Even Veil could see the medium-sized ship hull that was broken in two and precariously hanging there.

On top of it, one person was lying as if dead, while another person stood guard over them.

“Huk, sa, save us-!”

As the waves grew fierce, the conscious one cried out desperately.

“Basto sir! What should we do!”

The sailors rushed over urgently.

Basto turned his head to check the wind direction, then turned the helm again.

“It’s difficult to approach because of the current. Now we have no choice but to wait.”

There wasn’t much time.

Within that time, the wind had to blow favorably.

So they could reach the Mastone.

“You found them? Is that really true?!”

Marianne shot up from her seat.

Tie, who was sitting beside her, was also startled and jumped down from the sofa.

“Yes! It seems they’re holding on by clinging to the Mastone after nearly being swept away to the open sea!”

Marianne’s complexion turned pale.

She urgently stared at Astie.

“I think we need to go out to sea, Danzu.”

“Huh? But it’s dangerous outside…?”

Basto and Veil had said not to come out to the pier no matter what happened.

They had also said she would be in big trouble if she didn’t wait inside Dominion Hall unconditionally.

But Marianne was stubborn.

“I can’t just stay here like this! A Mastone, those children are near a Mastone!”

Marianne, who had been looking out the window, immediately ran outside without giving Tie a chance to stop her.

“Ma, Magistrate!”

Tie had no choice but to tighten her coat firmly.

Then she ran out of Dominion Hall with her bag slung in front.

Marianne was already running far ahead through the heavy rain.

“Huk, huk! Ow, this is hard!”

When she arrived panting, she could see a few people gathered at the pier.

It seemed quite a few residents had already evacuated outside the town after hearing the evacuation order.

‘I wasn’t scared at all until now…’

Honestly, Tie hadn’t taken this situation seriously.

Being still young, she had only thought that Basto and Veil would naturally find the magistrate’s two sons and return before it was too late.

Until now, Tie’s mind had only contained her future self succeeding based on her network with the magistrate.

But seeing people evacuating and Pearl City empty, worry came flooding in.

‘What if the sun really sets like this?’

What if monsters burst out from the Mastone then?

Tie fidgeted restlessly and tried calling her bone friends in her mind.

‘Bone friends!’

But as expected, no answer came.

In the Tenebrium Dungeon and at the Gateway, Tie had been able to continuously communicate with her bone friends in her mind.

It was like having a Bluetooth speaker turned on in her mind and being on a continuous call.

But now it was clear she couldn’t ask her bone friends for help.

“Raul, Enzo… please…!”

Marianne sobbed beside her.

The rain and wind only grew fiercer, and Tie had to firmly plant her feet to avoid being pushed back each time the waves crashed in.

‘I need to find something Tie can do? Nordics Grandfather said Tie was born with tremendous power…?’

Nordics was currently at the town entrance helping people evacuate.

If he found out Tie had left the Governance Building, she would definitely be in trouble.

‘But Basto and Veil are out there.’

Tie’s green eyes shook unsteadily.

When she looked up, the sky had become completely dark.

Due to the clouds, she didn’t know exactly when sunset would be, but one thing was certain.

‘The sun will set soon.’

Just as she was anxiously fidgeting with her fingernails.

“A, a, a crack is opening!”

Sure enough, someone shouted urgently.

When she turned her head, she could really see a faint rift forming around the Mastone.

The rift only grew wider as if it would pour out monsters at any moment.

“Lo, look at that! The Agabelt mercenary group is rescuing the young masters!”

At the same time, another sailor shouted.

Through the heavy rainfall, she could see Basto bringing two people from the ship hull caught on the Mastone.

Tie unconsciously clasped her hands together tightly.

‘Hurry up, Basto!’

More time had passed than expected.

If they were just a little later, something really terrible might happen.

Fortunately, Basto seemed very skilled at operating the ship.

The hull made a big turn in place, pointed its bow toward land, and began approaching quickly.

“Raul, Enzo…”

Marianne was on the verge of losing her reason.

She couldn’t take her eyes off the approaching ship and kept clutching her chest.

“Ma, Magistrate, don’t worry…! Everyone will be here soon…”

It was when Tie hurriedly approached and grabbed the shoulders of Marianne, who had knelt on the ground.

“Wha, what?”

Small whispers of disbelief flowed out from among the sailors around them.

Naturally, everyone’s gaze turned to where that person was looking.

“Why, why are the Death Hounds…”

Tie’s complexion slowly turned pale.

The vast open sea spread out.

Monsters were poking their heads out from the crack that had opened around the Mastone, and for some reason, two ship hulls were pressed together.

The large hull was mercilessly crushing the body of the smaller hull.

The passenger ship carrying the Death Hounds mercenary group had rammed into Basto’s ship.

The next moment, Death Hound members began jumping toward the small boat one after another.

Each one holding weapons in their hands.

“What are you doing! I said to keep the consul’s children alive!”

Cal shouted fiercely amidst the chaos.

But his voice kept getting drowned out by the sound of rain, crashing waves, and the mercenaries’ battle cries.

“Just capture Basto Paerix! Kill only those damn Agavert Unit bastards!”

“Danzu! What should we do with the ordinary sailors!”

“Do I have to answer for those guys too?! Just throw them into the sea!”

“Monsters, monsters are coming out!”

“Only kill what you can kill! Once we deal with Basto, we’re heading to land!”

They never intended to siege the Mastone from the beginning.

Would Death Hound be crazy enough to take such risks?

“Kill! Kill him! Slit his throat!”

Cal stood at the front, watching Basto who was in fierce combat with his subordinates.

The helm that Basto had let go of spun round and round in place.

He was holding broken wooden debris, facing off against four or five subordinates.

Veil’s situation was similar.

In the unexpected situation, one sailor ran toward Cal.

“What, what are you doing?! What is this madness! We’re here to rescue the consul’s children… Guh!”

Cal kicked his chest without hesitation, pushing him into the sea.

Then he ground his teeth and drew the sword from his waist.

“Stubborn bastard.”

Basto was still alive and struggling.

Cal slowly descended below the bow.

This time, to cut off Basto’s breath with his own hands.

At the same time.

“What’s happening!”

“Death Hound is attacking Agabert!”

“Mo, monsters!”

Tie, who had been watching the battle scene with a pale face, froze for a moment.

Tie blinked blankly, then lowered her gaze to the sea below where black water rippled.

[…nim.]

From beneath the water, a strange voice was calling to her.

But something was odd.

[Master-nim.]

It was definitely a voice she was hearing for the first time.

‘Why does it sound similar to my bone friends’ voices?’
