A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 343
The sky was entirely golden.
Tie took a short breath as she watched the countless waves of Croah being drawn into her body.
‘Hot, cold, and hot again…!’
Everything brushing against her body felt as rough as sand.
It hurt so much that groans kept escaping from her.
“…You succeeded. All the Croah has changed direction and is flowing toward you.”
The World Tree’s voice reached her.
Looking down, she saw Luciano’s altar crumbling.
Every single bit of Croah that had been passing through the five gateways flowed toward Tie without exception.
“If this continues, we can weaken Luciano. So hold onto that flow. You must never let it go.”
Tie nodded with a pale face.
In the distance, she could see Lucalion watching her with sad eyes.
That was the moment.
Crash-!
Something massive flew toward Tie from afar.
It was a sphere of light that Luciano had launched.
“Tie!”
Lucalion shouted, but the sphere was approaching Tie at high speed.
However, just before the sphere could reach Tie.
“Not a chance.”
Along with the World Tree’s words, a green barrier bloomed like a flower.
Dozens of layers of leaves formed a translucent dome, and the sphere shattered completely.
The World Tree’s golden eyes turned to look at Tie.
“Focus. I am the one protecting you.”
Tie swallowed dryly.
At that moment, Lucalion hurriedly approached near the barrier.
“Tie, please stop. Come out of there now!”
Only then did Tie notice that cold sweat was dripping down her face.
Looking down, both her hands were completely pale.
Her vision was dizzy, like when she had suffered from a terrible cold long ago.
Lucalion’s pleading voice trembled.
“Luciano’s corruption is already accumulating in your body! If this continues, later on…!”
But Tie squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head.
“No. We’ve only just, huff, we’ve only just started.”
The child’s gaze turned toward the ground.
“Look, Kamang. We’re really winning.”
Lucalion turned his head toward where Tie was looking.
Indeed, the number of monsters Luciano had summoned was rapidly decreasing.
The barrier of holy power surrounding him had also grown thin, and the unit members were advancing closer and closer to the altar.
“But…!”
Lucalion’s face contorted.
However, before he could continue speaking, another of Luciano’s attacks headed toward Tie.
Bang-! Bang-!
Holy power crossing through the air became a whip that struck down at the barrier.
Ten times, twenty times, and then thirty times.
Under the endless impacts, cracks finally spread across even the World Tree’s barrier.
However, soon another barrier of a different color layered on top of it.
“Continue the prayers!”
On the ground.
Nordics’ voice cracked as he looked up at the sky.
“Protect Astie! Even if your lives are cut short maintaining the barrier, you must protect the child-!”
The priests’ lips trembled as a faint chorus spread.
Veil finally looked up at the sky.
“…Child?”
Astie, whom he thought had escaped with Lucalion, was somehow floating in the air above the altar.
And she was embracing with her whole body all the holy power that had been directed at Luciano.
“Old man! What’s going on? Why is the child up there…!”
To Veil’s question, Nordics answered with a tense voice.
“Astie is reversing the flow of Luciano’s power.”
“…Reversing?”
“Yes. She’s planning to trap that power in her body and then return it to nature!”
Veil’s eyes narrowed.
“Is such a thing possible? Without any side effects?”
Nordics closed his mouth.
He looked down as if in pain, then raised his head.
“How could there be none?”
Veil’s eyes widened.
But Nordics continued with a sunken voice.
“So we must do something now. If we don’t want to make Astie’s efforts go to waste, we must make some decision right now.”
Bang-! Bang-!
Sharp explosive sounds rang out overhead once again.
It was the sound of Luciano pouring attacks on the barrier surrounding Astie.
“…The Sacred Oil of Return.”
Tesetan, who had been listening to their conversation, muttered.
He gazed at Livia with coldly rippling eyes.
“Where is the sacred oil that Eura gave us?”
Livia’s lips parted.
The Sacred Oil of Return.
It was a sacred artifact that Eura had given to the expedition team, even giving up on curing her own illness.
With that sacred artifact, they could temporarily weaken Luciano’s body, but,
“Danzu.”
Livia’s face turned pale.
“That sacred oil, didn’t Aleric hand it over to the Commander after keeping it?!”
Tesetan’s face hardened.
“When we went to get the map of Roxe Forest! We gave it to the Paladin Order to minimize our luggage!”
Livia was right.
When they met Ophilie in the cave and went to the village at the entrance of Roxe Forest.
Aleric had entrusted the Sacred Oil of Return he had been keeping to Valentis.
The problem was…
“How do we find it? We got separated from the Paladin Order while fighting Lionel!”
It had been a long time since they were separated from the Paladin Order due to Lionel’s spatial distortion.
“Ah, if only this hadn’t happened right after we defeated Lionel!”
Livia looked up at the sky with a despairing face.
She couldn’t see the situation above in detail.
But it couldn’t be easy for Tie alone to handle Luciano’s power.
Livia gritted her teeth with a tearful expression.
“We need to finish off that bastard even a little faster, otherwise our Miss will…!”
“The sacred oil, the sacred oil is here!”
At that moment.
Someone came running out from between the dense trees.
“Enzo? Raul?”
Raul gestured behind him with his eyes while carrying Enzo on his back.
And there,
“Tesetan!”
The Three Princes of Luminen, Valentis, and the Paladins were standing.
Tie was breathing in shallow gasps.
Her sweat-soaked hair kept sticking to her forehead.
“Almost done, Tie. Almost…”
Lucalion forced a smile with the barrier between them.
Tie barely managed to lift her eyelids to look at Lucalion.
Lucalion’s face, which she had always thought was pretty, appeared as two, then three, then two again.
“…Kamang. This place, huff, hurts too much.”
Tie pressed her trembling hand against her chest.
Every time the holy power entered, it felt like the inside of her lungs was freezing and thawing.
“Tie, please!”
“Are we… are we winning?”
At her voice that seemed ready to break, Lucalion urgently nodded.
“We’re winning. The tide has turned. Your Grandfather and Uncles returned with the holy oil Eura gave them.”
Tie’s face brightened faintly.
“Really…?”
“Yes! Your Father coated his sword tip with holy oil and slashed Luciano’s back. The power remaining in that villain’s body is gradually draining out. It’s picking up speed! So, so please…”
But contrary to Lucalion’s hopes, Tie’s body swayed greatly.
The child who couldn’t support her legs collapsed to the floor.
Cold sweat dripped from Tie’s nose as she supported herself on the barrier’s floor with both hands.
“Tie, please…!”
Lucalion sobbed with an ominous premonition.
That was the moment.
“Kamang, Tie.”
Tie panted as she lifted her head.
“I want to see Mother.”
Lucalion’s eyes widened.
Tie was dragging her body toward Lucalion, supporting herself on the floor with trembling arms.
“I want to see Mother, right now…”
At the tears welling in the child’s eyes, Lucalion fell silent.
Soon after, he nodded briefly.
“…Wait just a little.”
Lucalion immediately spread his wings.
Once, twice.
With each wingbeat, his body soared toward the sky even faster.
Breaking through the thin cloud layer above, the bluish atmosphere gleamed like glass.
“For you, I would do anything.”
Golden patterns rapidly emerged across Lucalion’s muttering body.
It was the dragon’s ability he had regained while facing Lionel.
“…I’ll do anything.”
Soon a pillar of light rising from his body to the heavens pierced down to the earth.
In front of the altar.
A massive circular formation was carved into the plain stained with blood and ash.
The formation’s outline blazed as the air at its center rippled like waves.
The demons instinctively stepped back, and the members held their breath with sword tips lowered.
Keeing-!
Soon a storm-like wave surged out from the center of the formation.
The scent of cold metal and faint fragrant oil wafted over the open field that had been filled only with dust.
“…That’s.”
Basto, who had narrowed his brow, muttered quietly.
Above the formation, a hazy portal was opening.
Through the wavering membrane, the silhouette of a dark blue castle and several flags could be seen.
The flags fluttered in the wind, revealing a familiar crest.
Talochium’s golden crest.
And,
“Your Majesty the Emperor?”
From beyond the portal, someone in silver armor slowly turned their horse’s head.
Blue eyes stared at the members as if unable to believe it, then widened greatly.
