A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 125 - 124 – Black Dome.

About a week ago.

"Mother, the father seems to have arrived." I was in the living room at home with Lari while having tea. Lari was standing behind the couch as she watched me intently with a smile on her face.

It was a little disturbing.

I heard some voices and also saw a carriage that stopped in front of our house. So it could only be a sign that my father had arrived.

At my words, my mom ran out of her room and walked past me, she looked excited. I think it's the biggest smile I've seen her since I meet her again.

Was she missing my dad that much? Or maybe she's just happy to know the outcome of the deal? No, if she was waiting for the outcome of the negotiation, she would probably be nervous.

'What a cute woman.' But I can understand. My father has been away for a long time.

After my mom opened the door and walked outside, the voices started to get even louder, the people outside seemed excited, so I was a little curious. So I placed my cup of tea on the small table at the front and turned to Lari.

"Shall we go outside? Things seem to be lively." I got up from the couch and walked to the door, but when I got closer I stopped walking immediately.

I had forgotten something very important.

'My dad doesn't know I'm home.' My mom didn't warn him about this, she didn't tell him she would pick me up in the capital. Remembering that, I started to get nervous again and Lari noticed it, so she looked worried.

"It's all right? Do you want to lie down?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous as I'm going to find my dad after so long." I looked at Lari.

She thought for a moment.

"Oh..." She seems to have realized why I'm so nervous at the moment, but she smiled at me and continued, "Don't worry, if your mother allowed you to come back, your father will not say anything."

Lari was trying to cheer me up, but she has an error in that statement.

She didn't allow me to come back, she dragged me back!

But I didn't say that, I just waved at Lari and then walked out of the house and found a large crowd of people who had gathered around the carriage that was there.

And among those people, I could see that tall, muscular man who stood out with his blond hair. Of course, my mother beside him made him stand out even more.

Along with them, there was also an old and slightly fat man who wore funny clothes. Maybe this is the merchant?

I approached the group and made my way to where my father was talking to that fat man.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you, I don't even know how I can thank you." My father said it while lowering his head.

"You don't need it, you're paying and that's what matters to me." The man said as he smiled. He looked a little embarrassed and nervous about the way my dad was acting

.

"But still thanks again, if it weren't for you I would have come back without finishing this negotiation." My dad lowered his head again as he thanked him. It seems that this man had helped him a lot.

This conversation went on for a while longer as the villagers chatted in excitement.

My dad hadn't seen me yet, so I went to the carriage where most people were looking and inside I saw a large compartment. As soon as one of the people opened it, it revealed a large amount of meat that was being cooled with magic.

Seeing that, most people cheered.

As for me, I didn't have time to celebrate.

"Noah, what are you doing here?" After he finished his conversation, he had finally noticed my presence.

My dad looked surprised and approached me quickly, everyone around us seemed to have noticed the atmosphere, I was pretty nervous.

"Oh, about that, I went to the capital and I got him back." Seeing my father's surprise, my mother approached.

"You got him back, but why? Didn't you want him to study?" My dad didn't look angry.

"Some things happened, I'll explain to you later, okay?" My mom smiled at my dad and then he looked at me.

"I don't know what happened, but it's good to see you after so long." My dad bent down and hugged me. He brushed his half-grown beard across my face, so it hurt a little.

As another grown man, I felt uncomfortable, but... He was my father

####

Some time has passed since before.

The meat had been distributed in a small tent set up by my father and mother. All the villagers were excited as they received the meat, it was a very nice sight to behold.

We would no longer have to worry about meat for the rest of the month.

That same merchant will send a large consignment of meat every month to the village, or that was the deal he had made with my father. In exchange, my father would pay a sum of money.

My dad didn't want to say the amount that was paid, but it sure wasn't a small amount.

I stayed there beside them until all the meat was distributed. When we realized it was already afternoon and perhaps it wouldn't be long before the night began.

"Alright, help me take this apart from here."

"Right."

Then we dismantled the tent we had carefully set up as wood could be reused. The artifacts we used to cool the meat were also kept very carefully.

A few minutes passed and the weather in the village was very pleasant.

But after a while, I started to feel like something was wrong around me. I started to feel a lot of magical power, it was an absurd amount.

Not just me, but my mom and dad who were together with me also seemed to have noticed.

"Are you feeling it too?" I asked.

"Yes, it is something very powerful." My mom responded as she clenched her fists and beads of sweat trickled down her forehead.

"But it's not near here, it seems to be far away, but... But still, it's an amazing power. Where is this coming from?"

"I don't know, but we'd better take a look, things could end up getting dangerous for us." Afraid that something would happen to the villagers, my father and mother took their weapons and left the village to head directly to where the source of magical power was.

They tried to stop me from going along with them, but I insisted.

"It seems to be in the North, maybe it's inside the forest?" I asked curiously.

"It can not be. The forest ends not many kilometers from here, the source of magic is even farther away."

"What is after the forest?"

"The Border with Beastled."

"This is not good." I thought the border was farther away, but I was wrong. So this source of magic is coming from the border of the country? Maybe it's a Beastled attack on our country?

No, they wouldn't be crazy enough to do that.

"Wait! Didn't the ground shake a little?" At my father's words, the three of us stopped walking in the middle of the forest. We had been walking a considerable distance, so the number of trees wasn't that much.

We had a vision of what was in front of us, so we could see that thing coming up.

A black sphere that started to grow, was huge. Maybe even people in the village could see this thing.

"What the hell is this?" My father looked at that big black "dome" with his eyes wide. He didn't know how to react.

"Is this some kind of magic?" I asked as I continued to look.

"I have no idea, but this is dangerous." It seemed that more and more that thing was expanding more and more, so my mom was worried: "I think we'd better get back quickly, that thing doesn't seem to show any signs that it's going to stop expanding."

My mom looked very nervous, and I can understand her. I could feel the danger of that thing, if it touched me I would be killed instantly.

"Okay, let's go straight to the village, let's prepare for an evacuation if this thing doesn't stop expanding." My dad said and then we ran back towards the village, it didn't take us long to get there.

When we arrived, practically all the residents were out of their homes as they looked at that black "dome" that was thousands of kilometers away.

"What is that?"

"It's the end of the World?"

"Did the demons decide to attack?"

Many speeches came from the villagers, but my father tried to reassure them all, and he was succeeding. But what reassured everyone happened just seconds later.

That big black "dome" suddenly disappeared, leaving no sign that it had ever existed.

"What the fuck was that?" My mom said as she put her hand in front of her mouth and looked in the direction of that thing. She was shocked and confusing.

Not just her, everyone was in shock and confused not knowing what it was. But even though they were confused, none of them wanted to know the cause behind it.

They were very scared.
