A Highest Rank in Another World!

With the door partially open, Isabell considered what she should do. With her magic, she could feel a presence inside the room, but she didn\'t know exactly who it was.

It could be the woman she\'s after, or maybe it\'s someone else.

Thump~~

As she wondered if she should go inside, the sound of something falling reached her ears. It looked like a piece of wood. Then she started to hear quick footsteps coming towards the door.

"I need something." A woman\'s voice can be heard as soon as the steps stopped. That person was very close to the door and Isabell pulled back a little to hide.

\'Do I need to hide? No... \' She thought as she approached the door again. And now without thinking twice, she opened the door.

"Where is it? Where is it?" As soon as she entered the white room without making a sound, she found a woman bent over looking for something inside some drawers. Isabell watched closely.

"Hm?" Until the woman\'s hands stopped and she got to her feet. Then she turned to the door and saw Isabell standing there.

"Ara? Who would you be? I don\'t think you should be here." Since Isabell\'s face was hidden and she was wearing very masculine clothing, the woman didn\'t think she was a girl.

Of course, so as not to show her voice, Isabell remained silent.

"It\'s not you again, is it?" the woman asked as she put a serious expression on her face.

\'Again?\' Isabell was confused by that statement. She wondered if anyone had ever invaded the castle before.

"Will not you say anything? Tell me why you\'re here, maybe I can help you." The woman started to smile. But of course, deep down inside she felt indescribable anger.

In her mind, that person in front of her was Noah again.

 

"Haa~~ What an annoying boy. Just tell me why you\'re here. It\'s not too hard." The woman said that, but Isabell remained silent.

"Right. But since you walked in here without permission, I guess I can say you\'re my enemy, isn\'t it? But what an irritating thing, I just wanted to get this over with and leave soon."

The woman took off her glasses and then also removed the white coat she was wearing.

Isabell put her hand on her sword at her waist and braced for battle. The woman looked at her and started to laugh.

"Stop it, I won\'t fight you." The woman walked to one of the tables were a strange box was and then pressed a button. Putting a glass under a small hole, a black liquid began to come out.

A hot liquid that looked a lot like tea.

\'Coffee? How can coffee be made that way?\' Isabell thought confused.

"Let me guess why you\'re here. You died and revived for some reason before... So you\'re here to get revenge or something? Or maybe that useless goddess sent you here?"

\'Useless goddess? Is she talking about my mother?\'

"No, that can\'t be it. From what my master told me, you shouldn\'t show up here for a while. How did you get here?" the woman asked as she sipped some coffee.

Isabell remained silent and said nothing. She just kept wondering who she was talking about. Her mother hadn\'t sent her here before, she hadn\'t died and been revived.

And her mom didn\'t say anything about someone else having her blessing and being in this world. She wondered if it was possible her mother had placed other \'heavenly\' in her world and I didn\'t know about it.

\'I hope you\'ll explain everything to me later.\' But Isabell found it a little convenient anyway. Even though she was here, the woman in front of her thought she was someone else.

In other words, her identity was more than protected.

"But since you have contact with the sister of my master, I don\'t doubt you have enough power to get here in an instant. But that\'s weird, if you were that strong you wouldn\'t have died last time."

\'Won\'t this woman ever stop talking?\'

"So maybe you\'re someone else? But my master didn\'t tell me anything about you. Hmm... I have to talk to her about this. My master is a little petty. Can you believe she went to say that you were blessed by that goddess a little while ago?"

\'...\'

"Back when you screwed up with my research, I didn\'t know you had contact with a goddess. I thought you were just some random powerful kid who happened to find my lab."

\'How annoying...\'

"I was very surprised when I found out. I was here in this world just to destroy everything, but when I found out about you I was very interested. But my master asked me to leave you alone."

\'I need to know who she\'s talking about.\'

"But now that you\'re here, I think I can continue with our \'fun\' from before. Isn\'t it wonderful?" The woman\'s face started to turn red and her eyes started to water.

She dropped her coffee glass onto the table and then started walking towards Isabell. Removing her sword from its scabbard, she braced herself for any move the woman might make.

"I\'ll be punished later, but I can\'t let you go without playing with you a bit." The woman began to drool as she breathed heavily and moved closer to Isabell.

\'This woman changed her personality all of a sudden. She\'s completely crazy.\' Isabell thought as she walked away and prepared to attack.

But even with the sword in Isabell\'s hand, the woman didn\'t seem to care and kept advancing.

"Come on, I promise you it won\'t hurt at all."

The woman was empty-handed and not holding any weapons. But even though the woman was empty-handed, Isabell could sense that something was wrong.

Was it magic? Was it some hidden weapon?

Isabell gripped the hilt of her sword and then took a deep breath.

####

"Come on, don\'t be scared." The woman moved even closer to Isabell and tried to grab her.

Isabell jumped back and avoided the woman\'s embrace while she still held her sword.

\'My mother said to kill her, didn\'t she? I think I should just get this over with.\' Running away would only slow her down and she didn\'t have to feel bad about killing this woman, so she made up her mind.

The woman who was still behind Isabell suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body.

After that, she looked at Isabell and noticed the girl taking a step forward with her right leg. After a single step, Isabell who had been a few meters away appeared with her face very close to the woman.

"Goodbye." The woman felt her chest burn and then a sharp pain hit her. Before she could say anything, she felt the flesh of her chest being cut as Isabell moved her sword.

Isabell\'s sword, which had only one blade much like a Katana, spun inside the woman\'s body.

The Katana spun until the blade was facing up. Then Isabell raised the sword with all her strength, ripping the woman\'s body from chest to shoulder.

With a large amount of blood coming out, the woman\'s body fell. She didn\'t understand exactly what was going on.

But after looking down and noticing a part of her body almost being torn off, she realized what had happened.

"Hahaha, how beautiful. It\'s so red." She said as she looked inside her own body. From the size of the cut, she could even see a part of her heart that had been pierced.

His red flesh, the blood gushed nonstop. It was all so beautiful in her sight.

Kime laughed as she felt her vision darken and she continued to be stared at by Isabell. The woman\'s black hair was stained with blood as she tried to move and giggled.

It didn\'t take long for Kime to stop laughing and her life to be extinguished. She died with a smile on her face.

"What a bizarre woman. But I think my job is done." Isabell swung her sword to remove excess blood and then tucked it into its scabbard.

"I think I can leave now." With her work done, Isabell smiled smugly and then left the room.

Isabell followed the same path she had come, taking care not to be found. It didn\'t take long for her to leave the mansion in silence without anyone noticing her presence.

Right after she left, a sound caught her attention.

[ You received a message ]

Isabell opened the message without thinking twice.

[ You should better check your enemies\' bodies making sure they\'re dead. ]

Only that was written.

Isabell read that message and began to feel unease in her chest. She looked directly at the mansion and began to question whether she had killed that woman.

No, she certainly saw that woman die in front of her, there was no way she could survive that wound.

\'But if my mother sent this message, it can only be because of that. Damn it!\'

Isabell couldn\'t figure out how that woman managed to survive, but she would have to go back and check.

She thought it would be quick, but it\'s taking longer than she thought.
