A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 342

“Kamang, what do you mean by that…?”

Tie’s voice trembled as her eyes widened.

“Killing Tie? How is stealing sacred power from Luciano the same as killing Tie?”

Lucalion gasped for breath.

He glared at the World Tree and spoke in a low voice.

“Listen carefully, Astie. Those Croa you’re looking at right now… they’re all contaminated.”

Tie turned her head in a daze.

She could see the river of sacred power pouring into Luciano through the five gateways.

“That’s contaminated?”

Lucalion gritted his teeth.

“What do you think is the reason Luciano couldn’t immediately devour the world even after defeating the World Tree?”

Tie looked back at Lucalion.

The child’s hesitant voice trembled.

“That’s because Luciano’s body couldn’t withstand the World Tree’s sacred power, according to Nordics Grandfather…”

“Right.”

Lucalion answered with a serious expression.

“So he kept searching for a way. You know that too!”

Tie found herself nodding unconsciously.

‘…Kamang is right.’

Luciano had been continuing experiments at Serkanos Cathedral all this time.

He had tried to find a way to fix his broken body by sacrificing young children.

“But it was impossible.”

Lucalion’s gaze turned cold.

“A human body could never withstand a transcendent’s power in the first place. In the end, he had to choose a different path.”

Tie swallowed hard.

“A different path…?”

“Right. Instead of changing his own body.”

Lucalion’s voice lowered.

“Luciano decided to contaminate the power he would absorb to fit his body.”

Her heart sank with a thud.

Tie asked back in disbelief.

“Luciano transformed the sacred power in the world? To consume it himself? All of it?”

“Right.”

Lucalion nodded.

“He used Mastone and fissures to contaminate the world’s Croa. And he completed a circuit so all that energy would flow into his body.”

Tie unconsciously held her breath.

If Lucalion was right, everything made sense.

The spirits being contaminated.

Unable to overcome the rampage and becoming monsters.

The fact that they all appeared only from fissures near Mastone…

“Astie. As Nordics said, Mastone is a root.”

Lucalion’s gaze settled heavily.

“A root that absorbs the surrounding contaminated Croa and sends it to Luciano.”

He paused for a moment and looked intently at Tie.

“Now look at that waterfall of Croa again.”

Lucalion’s voice was trembling low.

“Don’t you feel something?”

Tie turned her head in the direction Lucalion gestured.

The river of light pouring down like a waterfall reflected in the child’s green eyes.

Her fingertips trembled.

The uneasiness she had felt when absorbing a small amount of Croa earlier intensified.

“…It’s contaminated.”

Tie’s pupils shook.

The child slowly looked up at the World Tree.

“So much Croa, all of it defiled.”

“Right.”

The World Tree answered.

“That Croa is contaminated.”

Her voice was clear and calm, but it contained undeniable coldness.

“But for now, that’s the only way.”

The World Tree approached Tie.

“You must sever that power from Luciano and accept it.”

The World Tree’s eyes shone deeply.

“The absorbed Croa will be purified the moment it flows into your body. And it will find its rightful place. This is the last chance to prevent Luciano’s ascension.”

“You’re insane.”

Lucalion, who had been listening, widened his eyes.

“I’m ashamed I once followed you calling you Mother! Purification? Calling that act that will surely destroy Astie purification!”

The World Tree said nothing.

She only looked at Lucalion with quiet eyes.

Lucalion looked back at Tie with desperate eyes.

“No! Say you won’t do it! No matter how much you have a seed inside you, if you purify that amount of contamination…!”

Tie looked down at the ground with her mouth closed.

The child’s green eyes darkened as she looked at the members.

Flames and blood, and screams echoing from everywhere.

After a long while.

Tie raised her head and stared at the World Tree.

“…If Tie purifies that power, can we defeat Luciano?”

“Astie-!”

Lucalion shouted, but Tie didn’t budge.

“The possibility is high.”

The World Tree answered, facing Tie.

“Purified sacred power returns to its original place. Luciano’s power will diminish by that much. He will never be able to maintain his current overwhelming strength.”

Tie quietly nodded.

The child’s small shoulders trembled briefly.

Soon, a short answer flowed from Tie’s lips.

“Then, Tie will do it.”

“Astie!”

Lucalion cried out urgently.

His face looking at Tie was completely terrified.

But Tie looked at Lucalion with an awkward smile.

“But Kamang. If Tie doesn’t do it… everyone will die.”

Lucalion was at a loss for words.

Small teardrops were already hanging at the corners of Tie’s eyes.

“If Tie doesn’t do it, Mother, Father, and you Kamang… will all disappear.”

Unable to control her trembling, the child’s shoulders vibrated shallowly again.

Only then could Lucalion realize.

Tie was terrified.

Even while sobbing in fear, she was trying hard to smile.

“I don’t want that. I don’t want to run away because I’m scared when there’s something I can do.”

Drip, drip.

Large tears flowed down the child’s cheeks.

The next moment.

“Sniff, Kamang.”

Tie, who had been trying hard to hold back her tears, suddenly threw her arms around Lucalion’s neck.

“You know, sniff… In the cartoon Tie watched before, the good characters didn’t die.”

Tie lifted her head, her eyes trembling violently.

“When the protagonist went to save the world, everyone said ‘You’ll die, it’s dangerous.’ But in the end, no one died. They almost died but survived. So, so…”

Tie looked at Lucalion.

“Tie will be okay too. Right?”

Lucalion’s face slowly crumbled.

The moment he met Tie’s eyes, he instinctively knew.

“…You, really.”

Once Tie had decided, he couldn’t stop her.

That’s what the imprint was, what the oath was.

To him who had lost his words, Tie smiled beautifully with her wet eyes.

“Don’t worry, Kamang.”

Then she added with a trembling voice.

“Tie will definitely protect you.”

On the burning ground, mercenaries and monsters were tangled together.

Luciano smiled contentedly from atop the altar.

‘…Finally.’

His coronation, which he had prepared for over a long time, was right before his eyes.

How many moments had he endured and persevered for this moment.

He couldn’t even count them.

“Get it together! Fight to the end!”

Astie’s mercenaries were tenacious.

Even though defeat was certain, they hardly knew how to retreat.

Luciano sneered as he slowly prepared his final strike.

‘The circuit is complete.’

Now in his hands was gathered about thirty percent of the Croa scattered throughout the world.

And he,

‘With this alone, I can create a strike that will blow away the entire continent.’

“…Ha, hahaha.”

Finally, uncontrollable laughter burst from his mouth.

“Hahahahahaha!”

How much stronger could he become once he absorbed all the power?

‘When that time comes, I will recreate the world with these hands.’

The scattered continents will be brought together as one.

I will make all life kneel beneath my feet.

Becoming an undying, eternally living Absolute Being…

“Soon.”

A crooked smile formed on Luciano’s lips as he muttered.

Holy power began gathering in the hand he raised.

It boasted an incomparably larger size than before and was rapidly growing.

But at that moment.

Rumble—

Suddenly the sky twisted.

Looking up, the waterfalls of holy power pouring from each end of the Pentagon were hesitating.

Luciano’s eyes narrowed.

“…What.”

As soon as he spoke, the golden streams solidified in mid-air and then began flowing backward.

Rumble rumble— Bang!

Cracks appeared in Luciano’s portal and holy power leaked out.

The light emanating from his fingertips cut off, and he felt the life force that had been filling his body draining away again.

A small voice leaked from between the teeth of Luciano, whose eyes had widened.

“…Sorcerer King?”

Sure enough.

Looking up, he could see Astie floating in the air.

Threads of light wrapped around the child.

Centered on those threads, the five portals slowly curved.

Luciano’s face contorted.

“Damn it!”

The moment he shouted, all the Croa that had been heading toward Luciano changed direction and began pouring into Tie.
