A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 386

Tie unconsciously held her breath.

As the shadow growled lowly, a calm tremor traveled through her fingertips.

“M-Master? Are you really sure this is okay?! I’m feeling quite anxious…!”

“Shh.”

Marbas muttered anxiously on Tie’s shoulder, but Tie brought her finger to her lips.

Then she turned her gaze back to the iron cage.

“Marul. These Pompoms still have recognition ability!”

“Recognition ability? Ah, do you mean cognitive ability?”

“Yeah! Look!”

Tie pointed at the shadow.

The shadow’s red eyes blinked slowly, very slowly.

It seemed like it was saying ‘hello’ to Tie.

“We might be able to take them out.”

A small hope bloomed in Tie’s chest.

“We got the amulet too, so if we can safely evacuate the Pompoms, we can catch Yellow Belt Baron right away!”

Krazaru nodded.

Marbas also muttered, ‘That’s true, but…’

Tie hurriedly turned around.

Then she began searching earnestly for something on the work tables and desks scattered messily behind the pillar.

“I need to find the key! If there’s no key, Ppupppu will have to break the lock, and that might make a loud noise…!”

Marbas and Krazaru nodded.

The three searched through the messy space thoroughly.

And a little later, Marbas discovered something under a pile of parchments stacked like a mountain.

“Here! I think this is it!”

Tie ran over and took the key.

And just as she turned back toward the iron cage.

“Who are you?”

Suddenly, a low voice came from behind her.

Startled, Tie looked back and could only gape.

In the distance, a man who had quietly entered through the stone door was standing there.

A dark navy blue doublet and a cloak worn over it.

From the crest embroidered with gold thread on the fabric, he was definitely…

“Y-Yellow Belt Baron?”

The man’s brow furrowed.

Tie unconsciously stepped backward.

As if waiting for this moment, Krazaru blocked the space between Tie and the Baron.

The Baron looked confused.

He looked once at the key Tie was holding, once at Krazaru blocking his path, and moved his lips.

“Master! If you’re going to leave, now is the time! While he hasn’t brought anyone with him!”

Marbas whispered.

Tie fidgeted restlessly and gripped the key tightly.

Marbas was right.

Norbert Baron was alone.

He must have come to check this place once more by himself while the soldiers went to search other areas.

“How on earth did you get to this place…”

Norbert Baron took a step forward.

Just as Krazaru released red mist around as a warning at that sight.

Clank-

The iron cage behind rattled and a sharp bursting sound pierced everyone’s ears.

Tie was startled and turned her head.

Kahaaaaak-!

The Pompoms, who had been gentle and docile to Tie, were making terrifying sounds with their bodies puffed up.

At just one person.

Toward Norbert Baron standing in the distance.

“M-Master? Something…”

Just as Marbas opened his mouth with a worried face,

“Baron! Why are you in such a place… No, those people!”

“We found intruders!”

“Catch them! Check if they have the core!”

The soldiers who had returned just in time came pouring through the stone door.

The quiet space instantly became chaos.

The soldiers surrounded Tie in a circle, and Krazaru summoned mist to confront them.

“Master! What will you do?! At this rate…!”

Marbas, who had turned pale, urged Tie.

However, he soon closed his mouth.

Because Tie, whom he looked back at, was fixing her gaze on the iron cage behind rather than the busy front.

“Master?”

Tie finally turned her head slowly.

There was a somewhat flustered look in the child’s eyes.

“M-Marul.”

The child who hesitantly called Marbas pointed behind with a trembling hand.

“Look over there. The Pompoms… seem a little strange, don’t they?”

Marbas’s gaze followed Tie’s hand.

And Marbas, who confirmed the same thing as Tie, gaped.

Grrrrr…

Dozens of pairs of eyes trapped in the iron cage were glaring at the soldiers as if to kill them.

As if they knew that those people were the ones who had imprisoned them here.

Murderous growling leaked from the shadows’ throats.

“Surrender immediately! Then we’ll spare your life!”

“Where is the core!”

But the soldiers, whether they knew this or not, were getting closer and closer.

Some soldiers even made loud noises by banging their shields with spears.

An even deeper madness settled in the excited shadows’ eyes.

And soon.

Clank-! Clang!

Two iron bars fell out and rolled away from one cage due to their fierce struggling.

The soldiers finally closed their mouths.

But it was already too late.

Bang-! Clank!

The second iron cage twisted inward.

The top plate bent, and the rusted joints burst open.

“R-retreat! Everyone retreat!”

One soldier who noticed the ominous signs shouted.

However, the shadows in the already broken cages were crawling toward each other.

The boundaries between forms became blurred.

Like black paint spreading, the shadows stuck together stickily.

Tie swallowed at the scene unfolding before her eyes.

“Th-they’re merging…?”

Grrrrrr-

A low, deep cry echoed through the space like claws scraping.

It wasn’t the voice of the Pompoms who had just been rubbing their heads against her, begging for help.

Only fear and rage that had been suppressed all this time, and bloodthirsty desire for slaughter were tangled together…

‘The sound of a monster.’

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, one of the soldiers shouted.

“Throw the spears!”

What happened next occurred in an instant.

Krazaru wrapped around Tie and lowered their bodies to the bottom right, and the soldiers’ spears grazed over their heads.

However.

Splurt-

Soon a black mass shot out from the merged shadow and enveloped the spears.

Then it clung to the spear shafts like mud, and soon melted them away as if corroding them.

“Ugh, uaaaah!”

The moment they saw the spears break in half and fall, the scene became chaos.

“Run! It’s a monster!”

“A real monster has appeared!”

Clang-! Bang!

The remaining iron cages that had been stacked burst all at once, making the shadow’s form even more massive.

Thud.

When the enlarged shadow struck the floor, shockwaves spread in all directions.

The stone floor cracked, and the magic circles carved on the walls and ceiling crackled before losing their power.

At the sound of the basement collapsing, Tie’s lips trembled.

“Po, Pompom…?”

The next moment, Krazaru snatched up Tie.

“Mother! Evacuate!”

At the same time, one of the pillars supporting the space began to collapse.

“Damn it! The passage is blocked!”

Veil shouted while looking at the underground stairs the soldiers had escaped from.

As he said, the underground stairs were blocked with a pile of rocks from when the ceiling had collapsed.

“Tie is inside! We have to find an entrance somehow!”

Basto shouted.

Livia couldn’t say anything with her pale face.

It was because of the guilt that she had let Tie go.

“Livia. You can’t be like this right now.”

Aleric wrapped his arm around Livia’s shoulder.

“Self-blame can wait until after we find Danzu…”

At that moment.

“Child! Huff, are you looking for a child?!”

Someone came running toward the members.

Then he lifted his head while gasping for breath.

“A little girl with her hair braided like this!”

The members’ eyes widened.

The man, Berte, pointed in one direction.

“There’s another door over there! All the soldiers trapped inside are escaping through there too!”
