A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 53

“Do you know how many companies were completely wiped out by Krazaar 35 years ago? A whole two of them, two.”

“….”

“What I’m saying is, 200 Paladins were devoured by Krazaar.”

Veil’s eyes turned sharp.

Olek sighed and continued speaking with a troubled expression.

“Even though it was so long ago, I remember one thing clearly. The white bones that poured out from the red mist.”

In Olek’s memory.

The image of Populosa’s outskirts from 35 years ago, smaller in scale than now, came to mind.

‘Everyone can rest easy! The Luminen Family has come leading the entire holy order to siege the Mastone!’

That day, the people of the Populosa region were excited. Finally, the knights who would drive out the demons that had encroached upon their land had arrived.

‘Once we siege the Mastone, the hunger will end too. We’ll be able to go hunting in the forest like before, and the furnaces and mines will be operational again….’

But the people’s hope didn’t last long.

After cutting down all the countless demons pouring out from inside the Mastone, the most troublesome and powerful opponent revealed itself.

“…That thing literally had no form.”

The ultimate enemy that appeared from within the Mastone.

Krazaar’s body was like mist, in a word.

A faintly glowing red mist that spread like water across the deep forest floor.

“Only when the fearless knights began disappearing one by one did everyone realize. That they had been dragged into Krazaar’s subspace.”

The demon Krazaar had no sharp teeth or sharpened claws.

However, it began killing people faster and more precisely than any other demon.

“Once Krazaar’s subspace opens, it cannot be approached from the outside. To break it, one must tear through the spatial barrier from within.”

“Spatial barrier…?”

“The invisible boundary surrounding the subspace.”

But tearing through the spatial barrier was never an easy task.

Those who were sucked into Krazaar’s subspace would inevitably face the fear they dreaded most.

In fact, while Krazaar devoured around 200 people, only one person overcame the confusion and made it out.

“The Luminen heir.”

The young Paladin who was twenty years old at the time, Valentis Luminen.

“Does it make sense that there was only one survivor while two entire companies were wiped out? Back then, it was truly….”

Olek’s body trembled finely as he recalled the past.

“The mist seemed ready to spread endlessly. It was so fast that it looked like it would cover not just Populosa but the entire surrounding area.”

If it hadn’t been for Valentis Luminen, who tore through the spatial barrier and emerged after five days, Krazaar might still be alive even now.

“So what are you getting at? Are you saying our Danzu has been sucked into that subspace thing right now?!”

At Veil’s frustrated question, Olek nodded anxiously.

“What do you think is the reason the Order and blacksmiths like us buy demon cores?”

He fidgeted with the whetstone at his waist and continued speaking rapidly.

“Even after a demon disappears, the core retains the magic power they wielded in life. The problem occurs when this residual magic power is excessively strong.”

Basto’s brow furrowed.

“Since Krazaar was such a formidable creature, quite a large amount of magic power was remaining in its core.”

“And then?”

“Just now, for some reason, that core cracked and the magic power contained within began releasing outside! The magic power that lost control outside the core habitually tried to return to its former shape!”

“Former shape?”

“Krazaar! You all saw that wicked mist that drags targets into subspace!”

Basto’s lips parted slightly.

The red stone that had cracked in Tie’s hand and the smoke that flowed out from within came vividly to mind.

“Then what do we do?”

With a face drained of color, Basto’s eyes widened.

“You said Krazaar’s subspace isn’t easy to break from the outside once it opens.”

“That’s right. As far as I know, the only way is to tear through the spatial barrier from within….”

“What if she can’t get out?”

Veil interrupted Olek’s words.

“What if our Danzu can’t get out from inside there? What happens if she can’t tear through that barrier thing?”

Olek closed his mouth.

Soon he muttered in a sunken voice.

“…She’ll slowly melt away and disappear inside.”

In his mind, the terrible scene he had witnessed as a child was replaying again.

The dark red mist at the forest’s edge that had spewed out 200 sets of white bones.

“Damn it all!”

With Veil’s curse as the finale, a terrible silence descended upon the Armory.

“Ow ow ow.”

Meanwhile, Astie opened her eyes somewhere dark and gloomy.

And immediately frowned at the pain she felt in her bottom.

“It hurts….”

It wasn’t just her bottom.

For some reason, her waist and back were also throbbing.

Tie first got up from where she was and looked around with a frightened face.

“Where is this…?”

Suddenly, a cold water droplet fell on her cheek with a plop.

When she looked up, pitch-black storm clouds were covering the entire sky.

Rumble-

Soon after, along with a terrifying thunder sound, the rainfall began to intensify.

Honk-!

Then a loud horn sound rang in her ears.

When she stepped back, an old gray car whooshed past right in front of Tie’s nose.

Tie wiped her cheek where muddy water was dripping with a flustered face.

And after looking around, she muttered as if she couldn’t believe it.

“Jongno-gu…?”

A rainy night street.

The place where Tie was now was unmistakably South Korea.

Splash, and splash again.

With each step she took, the muddy water on the street made splashing sounds.

Tie tried to ignore that sound and muttered in a crawling voice.

“Chocolate, pizza… chicken….”

But no matter how many delicious foods she listed, the fear didn’t disappear.

That was because a very eerie scene had been unfolding before Tie’s eyes since a little while ago.

Rusted iron gates lying on the roadside, buildings with cement completely exposed.

Broken windows and flooded roads, and even cars occasionally running down the road with empty driver’s seats.

“Sweet tomato… Vienna sausage… meat, dumplings….”

The voice that had been steadfastly continuing finally began to grow smaller.

“Mister….”

Tie wiped away the tears that began trickling out and called for Basto.

“Brother Veil! Grandfather Nordics!”

However, there was still no answer in return.

All that could be heard was the sound of torrential rain pouring down like a waterfall.

Tie sniffled and turned around, staring blankly at the muddy water that had risen up to her calves.

Behind her, the street she had walked stretched endlessly into the distance.

Crackle-

Suddenly, a crackling sound came from behind her.

Startled, she saw a red light flashing from atop an abandoned street stall in the distance.

“What is that…?”

Looking closer, it was a radio sitting there all alone.

Frightened, Tie took a step backward.

[Cu- Current. Typh… effect…]

Then the radio, which had been flashing red light several times, began crackling as it delivered a weather forecast.

[-Currently due to the typhoon’s influence, heavy rain advisories have been issued for most regions nationwide. Strong rain and wind are… expected, and in the central regions, heavy rain of 100mm per hour is forecast to fall…]

Tie’s face darkened.

“Typhoon…?”

Rain, thunder, lightning.

As if that wasn’t enough, now a typhoon.

The empty night streets and the crackling radio.

Her body began trembling, and she unconsciously gulped.

All of these things were exactly what Tie was afraid of.
