A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 256 - 255 - He Disappeared Again.

Noah continued to sit on the floor for a while before he managed to get up.

"I feel better."

[ Are you sure it was a good idea to deactivate your blessing? ]

"Why?"

[ You still need to go to that black liquid to stop him from eating my daughter's soul. ]

"I'm sure it won't be a big problem. He's in the cave, isn't he?"

[ That's right ]

"I'm heading there right now. I have to get out of here as fast as possible, the guards at the gate ended up seeing the whole thing."

[ Well, of course, they would notice with all that screaming and light show. ]

"..."

Noah looked at the gate and realized that it was partially open. There, the heads of two guards could be seen looking directly at him. The guards looked worried and scared.

They didn't seem to know who Noah was, so they were afraid that he would do something against the capital.

But without approaching, Noah just waved to them and then ran towards the forest, disappearing among the trees.

The guards at the gate came out and then started to look around.

"What was that?"

"I don't know, I just know it took me by surprise. Who could have imagined that a battle would initiate out like that?"

"I don't know who they were and why they were fighting... But I can't help but think that person fighting is a child."

"It doesn't matter if is a child, that person is dangerous. You guys should be thankful that he didn't decide to invade the capital or something."

"Don't say scary things. We just went through a difficult situation and lost almost all of our army."

####

Noah entered the forest and then walked to the cave that Meduz was "hiding" in earlier.

Once there, he descended the stairs and reached the bottom.

Looking around he could see a kind of torch that had been made to serve as illumination and he could also see an open hole in the ground. The hole was filled with a black liquid.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

When Noah approached the hole, he was surprised by a strange voice coming from there.

He looked into the black liquid and could see a strange little mouth that was created there.

"I am the person who killed that demon girl. I am here to stop you from eating my friend's soul. Can you stop?" Noah asked as he smiled.

The black liquid closed his mouth and remained silent.

"If you don't stop with me asking so politely, I will have to use my strength to make you stop."

"Do you consider that way of speaking 'polite'?"

"Sort of. Now would you please stop that and go away. I know you're just following that girl's orders."

"Well, I'm certainly following her orders. That's why I can't leave here and need to continue my work."

"Haaaa~~ Why do you demons make things so complicated?"

"..."

"Don't say I didn't warn you."

Noah again activated his blessing.

The moment he did so, he was warned by Isadora.

[ If you use your blessing for more than 10 minutes now you will overload your body. ]

"Don't worry, I don't need more than a minute."

Noah bent down and again created a pillar of light.

[ If you use this magic you will need to deactivate your blessing immediately after that. ]

"Ok."

Without caring, he continued his magic and the pillar of light began to glow within that cave.

The black liquid, sensing that continuing there was dangerous, decided to move out of the line of fire.

But with his "body" moving slowly, he couldn't escape and was hit directly by the lightning just like Meduz.

"You're not strong, are you?"

"Unfortunately I'm not fast and I have no strength."

"I see, what a useless pet you are."

"..."

Without answering, the black liquid began to disappear amidst that beam of light.

And after all the black liquid disappeared, Noah's blessing was deactivated and he felt his body go "soft".

"Oops."

Unable to stand, he fell to the ground and then lay down. And with the power of his magic, the torch had gone out, so he was in the dark.

[ Are you okay? ]

"Sort of. I feel like I'm going to pass out at any moment."

[ I understand. My daughter is already recovering, so you can sleep now.  I will ask her to come here to carry you to the capital. ]

"I need to get back home," Noah said in a weak voice as he became increasingly sleepy.

[ I wouldn't be able to send you home today anyway. Don't worry, I will send you home tomorrow. ]

"Before I go to sleep, can you...can you tell me how my parents and the others are doing?"

[ Your mother and father are desperate. Lari and Lisandra have started crying again and Ciaphia is also desperately trying to find you. ]

"I see, again everyone is worried about me... Shit"

[ It was my fault, I'm sorry ]

"Don't worry, at least I was able to help your daughter."

[ I appreciate this, thank you very much. ]

"No need to thank me, I just did my job as a subordinate of the goddess. Hahaha."

[ ... ]

Noah laughed for a while longer before closing his eyes and going to sleep.

####

[ He finished his work. ]

"Yes. My body is returning to normal. It feels a little strange, but it's not uncomfortable." Isabell continued to look at her arms and legs slowly returning to normal.

And after less than five minutes, her body had returned to its normal state.

But still feeling a little tired, she had a little trouble getting up.

"..." Holding on to the walls of the hole she had made, she carefully stood up and then began to use earth magic to open an exit.

After opening the exit, she went out and closed up that entire hole with earth magic.

"Okay, where is he?"

[ He is passed out in the same cave that woman took your body. ]

"Passed out? So he's injured?"

[ No, he just passed out because he was tired. Just go there and then take him into the capital. It will be dangerous to leave him thrown inside that cave. ]

"Okay. But I don't know where it is, so show me."

[ ... ]

On her mother's orders, Isabell entered the forest and then walked to the cave where Noah was lying.

It was dark, so she used her fire magic to create a light source that would allow her to see well.

And as soon as she came down the stairs and found Noah lying next to that hole, she opened her mouth and her eyes widened.

After seeing Noah's face and recognizing him, she was paralyzed. Because of this she eventually lost her concentration and let her magic fade.

"Ah, wait." With everything going dark, Isabell desperately activated her magic again.

After activating her magic, she approached Noah and looked at his face.

"It's him... So it was you..." She placed her hand on Noah's cheek and continued staring at him for some time. 

Feeling Noah's soft cheek, Isabell began to feel her heart getting a little fast.

[ What are you doing? Carry him into the capital. ].

"Cof..cof..." Being mesmerized and also excited with Noah in front of her, Isabell completely forgot about her mother's presence. She started coughing to disguise what she was doing and then took Noah in her arms.

He was a little shorter and she had a lot of strength, so it wasn't difficult.

Isabell took Noah in her arms and pressed him against her body.

'His body is quite warm, I wonder if he has a fever?' Isabell felt her face get hot. She wondered if she had a fever too.

####

The whole village had been awakened by Lari and Lisandra's crying.

Thinking it was an attack, all the guards ran straight to Noah's house but found nothing but Emma and Lucio desperate over Noah's disappearance.

"He disappeared again? But how did that happen?" One of the guards asked and left the house along with Emma and Lucio.

"We don't know, he went into the bathroom and then suddenly disappeared. There was no way out, there was no way he could have left without us seeing him."

"He suddenly disappeared? Do you mean he teleported? Does such magic even exist? I know your son has a talent for magic, but this is very absurd."

"I don't know, I just know that we need to find him as soon as possible." Lucio turned to look at Emma.

"Stay here together with Lari and Lisandra for now, I'll meet with the guards so we can set up a search party."

"I want to go too! Last time I was the one who found him, so..."

"You're the best person to calm Lari and Lisandra down, ok? Also, explain everything to Ciaphia. She's coming." Lucio pointed to the side and Emma could see Ciaphia approaching along with Taciane, Eli, Dala, Clachel, Sara, Rose, and Rieli.

Everyone was looking extremely worried.
