A Highest Rank in Another World!

After spending the day in Reynivellir, Isabell returned to the capital. Her mother used "teleportation" and before she knew it she was already inside the room of the inn where she was staying.

As soon as she appeared there, someone knocked on the door.

"Isabell? Are you here?" 

It was a gentle voice that Isabell knew very well.

"Yes, I am here."

"You didn't come down for dinner yesterday, what happened? I'm a little worried." The woman on the other side of the door had a tone of concern in her voice, so Isabell smiled.

"I'm fine, thanks for caring."

"All right, hurry up and come down for breakfast." 

"Okay, I'll be right down."

After that conversation, the woman went downstairs and Isabell continued inside the bedroom. Isabell lay on her bed for a few minutes and then went into the bathroom to take a shower. 

After she had showered and changed her clothes, she went down to the first floor and sat down at one of the tables. A few seconds passed before the same woman who had been talking to Isabell approached.

She was a middle-aged woman with a gentle smile on her face. She had light brown hair and wore a simple dress. 

"Thank you for caring about me, Meris." Isabell said as she saw the woman approaching.

"Well, it's just that you locked yourself inside the room, there was no way I couldn't worry."

'Even if I met you the day before yesterday?" Isabell thought and then turned to look at Meris again.

"All right, can you pour the coffee now?"

"Sure, I'll do that."

Meris turned away and then went to the kitchen. After preparing everything for Isabell, she brought out a tray full of stuff. 

Isabell looked at that tray and wondered if she would be able to eat it all. But she didn't complain, she started eating until she was satisfied.

Unfortunately, she couldn't eat it all.

Since she hadn't eaten everything, Isabell asked Meris to put the rest of the food in a bag, and then Isabell left the inn to give the rest of the food to some homeless person.

It wasn't long before she found a group of four children sitting in an alleyway looking hungry.

Isabell approached them and then handed them the food.

The children jumped with happiness and thanked Isabell.

Isabell felt very happy to see the children devouring the food with smiles on their faces.

And after this, she walked around the city for a while and bought some things.

And so several days passed.

####

It was late when Isabell was called by her mother.

[ Isabell, it seems that you have become a target. ]

Upon hearing her mother's voice, Isabell who was distracted sharpening her new sword stopped what she was doing.

"I became a target? Whose?" she said quietly.

[ One of my brothers, Hades, has not had enough yet and has placed a few more subordinates in my world. ]

"More subordinates? How many?"

[ There are two of them currently. There is one subordinate of his that is inside the castle here in the capital and another one that is in the capital of Beastled. ]

"In Beastled? Isn't his subordinate the new king?"

[ He was being possessed by one of Hades' subordinates, but he was killed some time ago. All the authorities in the country were killed. ]

"So Beastled must be in crisis now, huh?"

[ No because he invoked this other subordinate who was responsible for killing the king and the other authorities. ]

"Your brother sent a subordinate to kill another subordinate?"

[ Something like that ]

"He's insane."

[ I can't deny it. ]

"But now back to the point, who is targeting me? Is it the subordinate who is in the castle or is it the subordinate who is in Beastled?"

[ The subordinate of Hades who is in the castle is not a big problem. He seems to be there just to get information, she is an ordinary woman. ]

"I see."

[ But his new subordinate who is coming to kill you, she is quite strong. ]

"How strong is she?"

[ She's so strong that I can't know exactly her total strength. I can't just look at her Status from up here, so I can only try to guess her strength by the things I've seen her do. ]

"So your "divine eyes" are a little flawed, huh? And I also thought you would be able to see anyone's strength since you own this world."

[ And I can, the only problem is that his subordinate is not of this world. ]

"Ah, you're right."

[ ... ]

"Do I have a chance to win against her?"

[ From what I have seen her do, she is quite fast and also strong. But she has one flaw, and that is her stamina. She was only wounded by an ordinary blade, so her stamina shouldn't be very great. ]

"I see, when will she get here? I need time to prepare." Isabell looked at the blade of her sword and smiled satisfied. Then she took a cloth and began to clean it.

[ She should be here later today, she should arrive in the next few hours. As I said, she is quite fast. ]

Isabell heard this and raised her eyebrows. Then she sighed and put her sword in its scabbard at her waist.

"In the next few hours? Then I need to prepare to receive her."

[ Don't do anything stupid, she might be stronger than we think. If she is a subordinate of Hades, she certainly has unusual strength. ]

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll win with some ease."

Meduz rushed out of the capital leaving the mansion alone without anyone's supervision.

And through the streets, no one could see her. The residents only felt a strong gale that blew the tents away.

'Come on, I'm looking forward to it.' Passing through the gate leaving all the guards stunned, Meduz left the capital of Beastled and headed across the plain towards the capital of Southlein where Isabell was living.

Meduz was running through the open countryside while observing small villages. It wasn't long before she approached the border of the country and see the side effect of the war was left there.

"They were quite excited." She began to laugh and soon after continued to run.

She passed through villages and more villages and also encountered some carriages on the way. The people inside the carriages did not notice her presence, but they could feel the wind that Meduz created with her speed.

'Is that one of the Southlein towns over there, should I visit it? No, let's run straight to the capital.'

Meduz increased his speed even more.

With her red hair being messed up by the wind, she was getting closer and closer to Isabell who was already standing by outside the capital.

####

Isabell outside the capital was already wearing her cape and mask. It was a mask made of cloth and had been quickly created.

She had left from the capital and was now waiting anxiously for Meduz while holding her sword.

[ Be careful, she is getting closer ].

Isadora warned her and Isabell went on guard. She raised her sword and concentrated while looking at the horizon.

And while keeping her eyes partially closed forcing her vision to the maximum, Isabell could see in the distance a red blur rapidly approaching the capital.

'She is fast.' Isabell thought in surprise. But undaunted, she continued to follow Maduz with her eyes as the demon girl got closer and closer to the capital.

[ I think you should activate your blessing now. ]

"You don't need to warn me about that."

Isabell continued to look at Meduz and activated her blessing. Feeling her body becoming lighter, Isabell also began to see Meduz much more clearly.

A woman with red hair with a few black streaks, big horns, strange eyes, and a smile that would surely make any child have nightmares.

And Meduz, feeling Isabell's magic and also seeing her glow, put an even stronger smile on his face and quickened his steps.

With her speed almost doubling, Isabell had trouble keeping up with her movements.

She's was sure she didn't blink, but she still managed to lose sight of Meduz. The demon girl had vanished into thin air.

Isabell moved her golden eyes everywhere looking for a sign of Meduz, but the girl had completely disappeared.

[ On top of you. ]

Looking up, Isabell could see a busty girl twisting in the air and falling towards her. Putting her two hands together, Meduz had made a sort of "Hammer" with her hands and used them to hit Isabell.

Isabell who had no time to react quickly created a shield over her head and received the Meduz attack.

With a great impact, Isabell's protection was broken. 

Feeling the impact of Meduz's hands on her sword and also on her entire body, Isabell flew away. She spun on the ground multiple times before crashing into one of the trees in the forest that stood next to the city.

Feeling all the air in your lungs disappear, Isabell thought she was going to die.

She rolled her eyes and desperately tried to regain her breath.

But with no time to react, Meduz appeared in front of her again.

"Are you that weak?"

And now using her claws, she tried to pierce Isabell's chest.
