A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 254 - 253 – How Can You Keep Up With My Movements?

After his mother moved away from the bathroom door, Noah paid attention to what Isadora had to talk about.

'What happened? What do you mean help your daughter?' He asked extremely worried and confused. What do you mean she had a daughter?

[ My daughter, she is in this world along with you. She has just been caught by one of Hades' subordinates, you need to help her. ]

'But since she's your daughter, she shouldn't be very strong? Are you sure that's right?'

[ Of course, I'm sure, I'm seeing everything, she needs your help. ]

'I see. She's in the capital, isn't she?'

[ Yes, she's in the capital of Southlein, you need to go there ] 

'But how will I get there so quickly? No way can I do this!'

[ Don't worry, I can teleport you there in a second ] 

'Can you?'

[ Yes. ]

'I understand. But first I need more explanation about my enemy, it might be of great help.'

[ She is a demon girl who serves Hades. The only thing you need to know about her is that she is quite fast. ]

'But faster than those armors?'

[ Yes, much faster. And she's also quite strong. ]

'How do you want me to do anything against this woman? It's impossible! I couldn't even do anything against that armor, imagine against this girl.'

[ Even though she's fast and has a lot of strength, she doesn't have much resistance. She gets hurt easily, so just a few strikes would be enough to kill her. ]

'I see... But I need weapons, I don't have any. I'm not sure I can do anything using magic, mainly because of her speed.'

[ I know. My daughter tried to use magic and ended up losing the battle. ]

'Just as I thought.'

[All right, now you need to go. Don't worry, I'll teach you some tricks when you get to the capital. I also did a sort of 'Upgrade' on you, so be prepared to use a power you've never used before. ]

'You're going to get me excited.'

####

And so we arrived at the present moment.

Noah appeared at the side of the capital and soon he could already sense that something was wrong.

Inside the capital, he could hear the usual sounds. People talking and having fun, no one seemed to be scared or worried about the attack of a demon girl.

'Are you sure there's a demon girl here? Everyone seems to be having a good time.'

[ She hasn't entered the capital, she's in the forest next to the capital. My daughter is on the opposite side, she is buried in the ground right next to the wall. ]

'Do you want me to go to your daughter or do you want me to go to the demon girl?'

[ There is nothing you can do for Merian at the moment ] 

'Merian?'

[ Yes, that's my daughter's name ] 

'I feel like I've heard that name before.'

[ Yes, you've met her before. But now is not the time to talk about it, first I will explain to you about the new upgrade I made. Please open your status and look at the skills. ]

"Okay, okay. Now tell me exactly where that demon girl is."

[ As I said, she is inside the forest. She's inside a cave that was created by someone. ]

"Are you going to say it's that dungeon again?"

[ It's not. ]

"Good, I'm not in the mood to get lost in a dungeon."

[ All right, now stop talking and go quickly. Activate your blessing to get there as quickly as possible. ]

"I won't activate it now. My blessing has a time limit, so I will activate it only when I get close to where she is."

[ ... ]

"I'm just being cautious."

Noah ran into the forest and then began to walk carefully on Isadora's orders.

Some time passed and he approached the cave where Meduz was hiding. It was already night, so it was dark and he was having a hard time seeing.

'Right. Is it here?' Noah could see a light coming out of a hole that had been cut in the ground.

If he had seen this at any other time, he would surely have thought that this was a hiding place for a group of goblins or something.

[That's right, she's in there along with that black liquid I told you about. ]

'I still can't believe that a black liquid who talk is eating your daughter's soul.'

[ You don't believe me? Is that it? ]

'I believe in you, but it's a little rare to find a black liquid who talks.'

[ All right, stop talking about it and activate your blessing right away, that girl already seems to have detected your presence. ]

'So fast? She's really strong.'

[ Just activate your blessing soon! ]

Receiving Isadora's warning, Noah activated his blessing.

His body began to glow in a blinding golden color, causing the entire forest to light up.

He felt his whole body become warm, it was as if he had drunk a large amount of energy drink.

'What a nice feeling.' He started clenching his hands and noticing the difference in his strength.

But with no time to find out about his new strength, he was suddenly attacked by Meduz. She ran between the trees at an uncommon speed and approached Noah.

But with his blessing activated, the environment had lightened up and in addition, he could keep up with Meduz's speed.

So he created a sword of light as Isadora had said.

And with the appearance of his sword, he was able to stop Meduz's claws that came close to his chest.

"So it's you, what a big surprise." Meduz looked directly into Noah's face and smiled, showing all his fangs to him.

"Do you know me?"

"Of course I do, you are the goddess' subordinate. I didn't think you would come to me, it makes my JOB A LOT EASIER!" Shouting, she struck another blow with her claw.

Again her hand was stopped by Noah's sword.

'Hey, goddess. I thought your blessing would change my appearance.'

[ She will only change your appearance if you wish it to ].

'Makes sense.'

While talking with Isadora, Noah continued to receive Meduz's attacks as he walked through the forest.

There wasn't much room for them to fight. Because of that, Noah was leading Meduz into the plains.

"You should attack, running away won't do any good." Meduz disappeared from Noah's sight and then appeared beside him flying towards him.

"You're fast, but I can keep up with that." He swung his sword, causing Meduz to divert her course and disappear again.

Disappearing among the leaves of the trees, it was almost impossible for Noah to know where she is just by looking. So with Isadora's instruction, he activated search magic using his blessing.

And the moment his search magic was activated, Meduz's presence was detected right behind him.

Falling from the top of the tree, he could hear Meduz clicking her tongue when she realized that she was detected.

Because of this, she disappeared into thin air again, but now with nowhere to hide.

With ease, Noah followed Meduz's fast movements. She jumped through the trees like a monkey. But instead of making sounds, it was all very quiet.

She was the perfect person to ambush someone inside a forest.

But luckily Noah had the fetch magic and her blessing to help him, so he didn't have much trouble.

Noah started to run for the first time between the trees. Without looking back, he just watched Meduz's movements with his magic.

Meduz, who gradually became irritated, began to get extremely explosive in her attacks, forcing Noah to hurry to get out of the forest.

And so it continued for a few minutes.

By the time Meduz realized it, they were already in front of the capital gate.

Noah was standing there looking at her without appearing to be tired.

"How can you keep up with my speed like this? The master told me that one of those armors killed you, so there's no way you're stronger than me."

"That's a secret."
