A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 385

Thrum- Thrum-

Tie stared wide-eyed at the amulet pulsing relentlessly.

The amulet was beating fiercely like a living heart.

As she unconsciously reached out her hand, a thin beam of light extending from the amulet touched Tie’s fingertips.

“…It’s warm!”

She felt a familiar and comforting warmth.

The sensation of each other’s Croa mixing, moving, becoming one and growing stronger.

However, the energy transmitted from the amulet somehow contained a mixture of sadness, pain, and suffering.

Perhaps it was only natural.

The Croa contained in the amulet was power stolen from the Pompoms using the bizarre device before her eyes.

‘I can’t let the Yellow Belt Baron have this.’

Tie unconsciously clenched her fists.

Then she quickly snatched the amulet that had been floating above the altar.

“Master?!”

Marbas, who had been watching, jumped in surprise.

Krazaru also looked at Tie with startled eyes.

But Tie muttered with a firmly resolved expression.

“The Yellow Belt Baron is bad! He kidnapped the Pompoms who were living happily and sucked out their Croa like a mosquito.”

The child raised her head.

“As a secret inspector, I absolutely cannot tolerate this! So the undercover mission is over now.”

The child shouted to the two spirits who were staring wide-eyed.

“Now let’s go up to the surface! Marul will call Mother through the communication tunnel, and Ppupppu will find out where Uncle Basto is…”

But then.

Whaaaaaaaang-

Suddenly, an ear-splitting alarm began to sound.

From outside the door where the mages had left, very far away, someone’s shout could be heard.

“Intruders-!”

Tie’s mouth fell wide open.

Whaaaaang-

Veil, who had been walking quietly down the corridor, stopped at the sharp alarm sound.

“What?”

Livia, who was following behind, immediately looked around.

“Damn, isn’t that an alarm?! Don’t tell me it’s going off because we left the room…”

“Veil, Livia. This way.”

Then Basto, who had been walking at the front, gestured.

The two ran with lowered footsteps.

Soon they could see soldiers rushing below the stair railing they had reached.

“Intruders!”

“Someone has broken through the underground barrier! Summon the mages!”

Basto’s expression hardened at the ominous words.

Veil and Livia’s eyes became equally serious.

Veil muttered.

“The intruders those bastards are talking about right now, don’t tell me…”

“Breaking through the underground barrier?”

As if by agreement, one face came to mind for all three people.

It was Astie’s soft face smiling brightly with an innocent expression.

“Follow them!”

Basto shouted.

The three people hurriedly walked down the stairs without even thinking of hiding anymore.

And as they ran toward where the soldiers had disappeared,

“Huh? Hey, Aleric!”

They encountered Aleric who had just emerged from the opposite corridor.

“Livia! Everyone…!”

Relief briefly crossed Aleric’s face.

However, after checking the members’ surroundings, he asked anxiously.

“Where is Danzu? Weren’t you together?”

Livia’s face darkened.

She bit her lips tightly, then roughly tousled her hair and said.

“Ugh, the thing is! I stupidly got distracted…”

That’s when it happened.

Rummmmmble-

A faint vibration began to be felt from beneath the ground of the marquis’ manor.

The members exchanged glances for just a moment.

“R-run! It’s a monster!”

“The underground is collapsing!”

From the opposite end of the corridor, the soldiers who had rushed there earlier came flooding back.

They were so frightened that they didn’t even care that the members were standing in the middle of the corridor.

“I-if the underground collapses, what will happen to the Baron?!”

“I-I don’t know either!”

“Still! Wasn’t there some kid down there too?! Huh?!”

“I said I don’t know! If we don’t run now, we’ll die too!”

Basto’s eyes widened as he heard what they said as they passed by.

After a brief silence, he muttered.

“…Tie is underground.”

He looked back at the members with veins bulging on his forehead and shouted.

“What are you doing! Hurry up and run!”

Meanwhile.

“Uh, uhh?”

Tie gulped as she looked at the massive shadow looming right in front of her.

Before her eyes, a gigantic mass of darkness that almost reached the basement ceiling was writhing.

“P-Pompom…?”

Cold sweat dripped from her forehead.

“Mother! Take cover!”

At that moment, Krazaru scooped up Tie and began running to the opposite side.

Marbas was already dangling from Krazaru’s clothes.

Feeling the wind cutting through her hair, Tie’s eyebrows drooped.

‘W-what should I do…?’

How on earth did the situation turn out like this?

Tie felt like crying as she recalled the situation from just before.

Whaaaaaaaang-

When she had grabbed the amulet from the altar and the entire underground was filled with alarm sounds.

A little while ago.

“Mother! The amulet seems to have had magic cast on it! So that an alarm would sound if someone touched it…!”

Hearing Ppupppu’s words, Tie’s mouth fell open.

Then she looked down at the amulet in her hands with a flustered expression.

Since the alarm had sounded, it was only a matter of time before people came rushing to this place.

But Sire shook her head back and forth.

Then she looked back at the two spirits with a dignified expression.

“No problem!”

“Pardon?”

“Father said he’s coming! It’s okay even if the alarm sounds!”

Marbas closed his mouth.

Astie’s words were correct.

As soon as the alarm sounded, Marbas activated the communication tunnel and connected to the Imperial Palace.

Then he briefly conveyed the situation.

Upon hearing the story, Ardiana immediately dispatched the Imperial Army and Tesetan to Norveldt.

Leaving word that they would arrive soon since they planned to use Idongchin.

“Still, just in case, how about we go up to the surface first?”

Krazaru asked.

Tie nodded her head vigorously.

“Yes!”

On the surface were Basto and Veil, Livia and Aleric.

Together with the members, they could safely keep this amulet until Father arrived.

But Tie, who was about to follow Krazaru and move, soon stopped in place.

Clank-

“Huh?”

Because a very faint metallic sound came from behind her.

Tie quickly turned her head.

Soon after, she discovered something behind the massive pillar at the back of the altar.

“In the Logging District, that…!”

In the darkness, she could see several small iron cages stacked neatly.

Inside them, black forms were writhing.

When Tie flapped her arms, red eyes appeared one by one from inside the iron cages and all turned toward Tie at once.

And the next moment, the amulet pulsed and a faint tremor brushed past Tie’s ear.

‘Save us.’

‘It hurts.’

The child’s green eyes widened.

The problem was that at that moment, the tightly closed stone door of the basement opened.

Krazaru quickly extended a barrier to hide Tie’s appearance.

Just then, soldiers’ voices could be heard from beyond the pillar.

“Nothing here! It seems they already left!”

“You bastard, you better tell the truth! Are you certain the intruder left?!”

The sound of someone being roughly interrogated.

And soon after, a trembling answer was heard.

“I’m, I’m certain! As soon as the alarm sounded, I definitely saw them turn around and leave!”

Tie swallowed her saliva.

Berte was giving false testimony to the soldiers who had come looking for Tie.

“From where I was imprisoned, they went down the right fork, and though I’m not sure, isn’t that the path leading outside?”

A brief silence fell and someone shouted.

“What are you all doing! Hurry and chase after them! We must retrieve the core by any means necessary!”

Rumble, the footsteps grew distant again.

Tie emerged from the barrier and looked at the iron cage before her eyes.

The Pompoms who had been robbed of Croah were still looking at her with desperate eyes.

“M-Master? Though they are spirits, they have already lost their reason! You can tell just by looking at how they attacked the livestock! It would be better if you didn’t get too close…”

However, Tie did not answer.

Instead, she very carefully extended one hand toward the iron cage.

Because she had a feeling that it would somehow be okay.

And sure enough.

Sniff sniff-

One of the black shadows trapped inside twitched its nose.

Then,

“…Gasp!”

It gently pressed its head against Tie’s fingertips.
