A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 55

Veil was at a loss for words.

‘The child is a great mage so he’ll be fine?’

He’s the strongest of the strong, so maybe he’ll overcome the confusion and escape like Valentis Luminen?

A sigh burst from within.

“Yeah right.”

What good does it do if Astie is a great mage with tremendous power.

‘He’s four years old.’

The image of Astie crying while facing confusion in the subspace came to mind.

Veil ground his teeth and then stopped to stare at Nordics.

“We need to find a way. Old man.”

Nordics looked back at him with a worried face.

“But they say there’s no way…”

“So we just watch? Let our leader get devoured by Krazaar?!”

Everyone fell silent.

But then,

“Um, what about this?”

Enzo, who had been silent the whole time, raised one hand with a serious expression.

At his following words, Veil’s eyes widened greatly.

Creak-

The rusty iron door opened with a loud noise.

Tie carefully grabbed the doorframe and stepped over the high concrete threshold.

“Gold Apartment…”

Anxious eyes scanned the surroundings here and there.

For seven days since arriving in this strange South Korea, Tie had been wandering lost.

Fortunately, he had found a familiar alley just a moment ago.

[Jongno-gu XX-dong Hyeonnimro 6-gil.]

Tie gulped after checking the blue street address sign on the wall.

“This is right.”

Tie had memorized his home address since he was very little.

This was because 203 Aunt had set aside a day to teach him, since Gold Apartment was located on such winding roads.

So this was definitely the right place.

“This is really right…”

He sneakily peered inside the iron gate again.

The broken sidewalk blocks and the thick weeds growing between them were similar to the alley in front of his house.

Even the rainwater pooled abundantly on the roadside due to the low elevation.

“But why isn’t there a yellow picture…?”

But normally there should have been a yellow butterfly mural around there.

If you passed that butterfly mural and turned right, Gold Apartment should appear.

But no matter how much he looked around, he couldn’t see the butterfly picture.

“Maybe this isn’t the place…”

Tie pursed his lips and carefully came back out around the iron gate.

Then he turned his head to gauge the path he had come from again.

“…Sniff.”

The tears he had been holding back leaked out again.

No matter how much he looked around.

No matter how much he searched, Gold Apartment wouldn’t appear.

It would be better if it were a completely unfamiliar place, but the vaguely familiar yet strange scenery continued, making him feel utterly hopeless.

“It’s okay, I can find it.”

Tie came out onto the empty night street and adjusted his clothes.

Even so, the clothes soaked through with rain didn’t make his body even a little warmer.

How long had he walked?

A similar alley and iron gate appeared again.

“Maybe this one’s right!”

Tie quickly went to the front of the door and pushed the rough surface with all his might.

Desperately hoping in his heart that he had found the right place.

But the scene that unfolded inside the opened door was,

“…It’s exactly the same.”

It had exactly the same scenery as the strange alley he had confirmed wasn’t right and left a while ago.

He had definitely walked for a long time to get out.

A chill ran through his entire body.

‘The typhoon. The darkness. The crackling radio, and even maze-like roads.’

Everything was frighteningly scary, but he endured and endured again.

Because Tie was alone in this place.

Because there were no bone friends or subordinates he could call.

So he thought that crying wouldn’t solve anything.

But now he had reached his limit.

“…Huu.”

Tie collapsed at the doorway like a raccoon whose cotton candy had been washed with water.

“I want to go home…”

This place was too scary.

From when he encountered the crackling radio until now, his heart had stopped at least ten times.

Just as Tie sniffled and curled up into a ball.

Swoosh-

Suddenly, ominous fog began to billow up right behind Tie.

Moving silently, it quickly surrounded Tie.

“Uncle Basto, huuung…”

The fog spread wide as if it would devour the crouched Tie at any moment.

The fog that had paused as if savoring the aroma before a meal was just about to finally pounce on Tie.

“Found you! Finally! I finally found you!”

Someone suddenly popped out from the alley on the opposite side of the door.

Tie lifted his head with a start.

And after confirming the other person’s face, his mouth fell wide open.

Hair soaked through.

A face clearly showing exhaustion from wandering around so much.

Even Tie’s preschool bag dangling from one hand.

The figure who ran over pale-faced and helped Tie to his feet was,

“Commander King! What on earth did you do to Krazaar’s core! Huh?!”

None other than the Factory Manager of the Weapon District, Berukon.

“Subspace…?”

In front of the convenience store.

Standing under the torn awning, Tie repeated the word Berukon had just said.

Berukon replied with a serious face.

“That’s right, subspace. Right here!”

Tie closed his mouth again.

Berukon’s explanation he had just heard was so complicated that his head was spinning.

But still, if Tie understood correctly,

“Then this isn’t really Jongno-gu?”

Berukon, who had been looking at Tie with a dubious expression, nodded his head.

“That’s right. This is, strictly speaking, an illusory space. Nothing here is real.”

“…Heooooop.”

Tie covered her mouth with her tiny hand and lowered her gaze.

Then she spoke in a trembling voice as if she had expected this.

“I, I knew it was like that.”

Now that she had heard Berukon’s explanation, all the mysteries were solved.

The maze-like alleys where she had wandered for so long.

The strangely empty streets, and even the rain that wouldn’t stop.

“I thought it was weird that there were only things that Tie is scared of!”

Her gaze turned toward the dark red haze shimmering near the sewers on the other side of the empty street.

‘But to think all of that was created to devour Tie!’

The haze had been circling the same spot for a while now, watching Tie and Berukon.

How could she tell it was looking this way when the haze didn’t even have eyes?

For some reason, Tie felt like she could sense the haze’s gaze.

Tie gulped and tightly gripped the sleeve of Berukon sitting beside her.

“Mister, then how do we get out?”

This was exactly what Tie had wanted to ask throughout Berukon’s explanation.

“How do we get out before being eaten?”

Meanwhile, Berukon was equally troubled.

‘How to get out, indeed.’

Theoretically, the method to escape Krazaar’s Subspace was clear.

Find and tear the spatial barrier from inside the subspace.

In other words, they needed to find where the subspace ended.

Berukon let out a sigh as he looked around.

“How on earth are we supposed to…”

His gaze turned again to the small Sorcerer King sitting beside him.

“What kind of inner fear do you have that looks like this?”

The Sorcerer King’s eyes widened.

“Huh?”

“Just where exactly is this place?”
