[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 145: Cryll Rescue Act (2)

...****************...

"As we have planned before. We will move in 5 groups. Do you remember the division of the group? "

Everyone nodded at Noelle's question.

Previously, Noelle had decided to divide everyone into several groups.

Since the number of members of the princely group was exactly 12 people, Noelle decided to divide it into three groups of four.

Since Noelle still did not know everyone's strength stats, Noelle left the division of the group's members to Rico, considering he seemed to have full awareness of everyone.

And as a result, everything has been decided quite well.

Although it was referred to as the five groups, Noelle did not belong to any group. She just moves on her own, while Olivia and Stella will be in the same group.

Here are the results of their group division:

The first group contained only one Noelle, while the second group contained only two people, namely Olivia, and Stella.

The third group was the Norman group, which contained people with strong attacking power, accompanied by good combination attacks as well.

Those people were Iris, Muku, and Waka.

Then, there is the Rico group that arguably has the perfect balance between attack, and defense.

The group contained four people. Among them are Rico himself, Anzu, Werli, and Liscia.

In addition, the group Kaira led also had a pretty good balance.

Although the two people in his group were likely to not want to fight against humans, but their strength was beyond doubt.

This group is likely to be dominated by Alan who has disarmament abilities that are very helpful in the fight, then followed by Kaira who has analytical skills that can be said to be quite good.

Then there was Lilith and Rias. They are the only problem in this group.

The unique ability Rias has is the ability to read memories. It was not a suitable ability to use in combat.

However, the abilities that the other members possessed would cover up those imperfections.

And so it was, all the divisions of the group members were decisions that Norman and Rico made after discussing with everyone.

"The group section is over. Now we can act according to plan."

Noelle looked at the surroundings. There was absolutely no sign of any other presence around the island.

The only place that has a lot of presence in it is a large building located right in the center of the island.

(I think I'm a little late .. )

Other than in the building, there was absolutely no sign of life. It makes everything lead to one conclusion.

The enemy had already fled, and left their base here.

However, there were more than 80 people inside the building. So maybe their escape process is not completely finished.

The enemy is a group that is most likely to have hundreds of members. Such a large organization would definitely take some time to complete their escape.

"It's a game of time. We better hurry" Noelle said as she ran closer to the building.

If the enemy really escaped like he thought, then there was a chance that Cryll would also be taken with them.

But, there is one gaffe in all of it.

Were the enemies so vigilant that they ended up switching bases? No, it can't be. Noelle thought that at least their transfer would be completed sooner if that was the case.

Which means, they moved headquarters for another reason.

The only thing Noelle could think of was the information leak.

They must be getting word that Noelle is going to attack their place in the near future. So they hurriedly left the current headquarters, and went away from the sea of Eisen.

But who caused the information leak? Noelle will think about it later. For now, he should focus on his mission.

"Do everything according to plan! I'll go straight inside! "

...****************...

The sun is starting to rise. It was a sign that their action would begin.

Noelle swung her sword and slashed at the extremely thick-looking metal door, and went straight into it.

Behind him, Norman and his group followed him.

Previously, Noelle had already told everyone about the structure of the building they were about to enter.

It was a huge construction that almost all of its parts were made of extremely strong metal. The building consists of six floors, and has an area of approximately 2000 meters.

Even though it looks like a very large structure, it still can not meet the island whose breadth can reach 8000 meters.

Because the building was a little too big, they decided to divide it into segments.

Noelle will break through to the core with the Norman group, while Rico and Kaira will comb the other parts with their respective groups.

Meanwhile, Stella was the only person who had the power of long-range assault. So he couldn't just go straight into the enemy base.

He would take a strategic place at a certain point, then provide support remotely using his ability in archery.

Olivia is by his side to help him when an enemy approaches.

"Whatis that? "

As soon as Noelle entered the building, the first thing to say was that some golems with minimalist form were doing the job of transporting goods.

But, if that was all, there was no way Noelle would be surprised.

To his surprise were dozens of sharp and large thorns, growing from the floor, and pointing towards the ceiling.

(What is this .. )

At first Noelle thought it was the work of a land magic user. But, seeing how the thorn continued to hold on without showing any sign of disappearing made him regain consciousness.

Something created with magic like a ground thorn will not last long. It will definitely disappear as time goes on.

Noelle instantly swung her sword and smashed all the thorns blocking her path, then continued running to her destination.

While running, he also threw some small daggers towards the golems who were working. The dagger he threw was easily stuck in the vital point of the golem, making it instantly crumble into a pile of ordinary stones.

All paths have been cleared by a single Noelle, so Norman and the people in his group can only quietly follow her from behind without actually doing anything.

"A little more" Noelle said as she prepared a few small knives between her fingers.

As soon as she reached a place blocked by a large metal door, Noelle immediately kicked the door with all her strength. However, the door showed no sign of being destroyed, but rather just a slight dent in the part that Noelle kicked in.

"Even with my physical strength still can't destroy it, huh .. Then, how about this! "

Noelle pulled Langen's black sword from its sheath, and slashed at the door, creating the rest of the extremely neat slashes there.

As expected of a star weapon that was said to be 'able to cut through everything', Langen's black blade could easily pierce through that thick metal.

Noelle was a little curious about the material used to create a defense on that door. So he took some pieces of metal that fell on the floor, and put them in his own pocket.

"Let's go in" Noelle said as she re-sheathed her sword, and prepared with a few throwing knives.

Norman turned to Iris, and nodded as a sign of approval. The two then run after Noelle, with Muku and Waka right behind them.

The room behind the door is a square room with each side has a length of approximately 60 meters.

It was really a big room. However, Noelle and the others' attention did not lead to how vast the room was.

Their attention was entirely on a giant crystal ball that was right in the middle of the room.

The crystal ball had a transparent surface and was so smooth that its inside could be seen very clearly.

On the inside of the crystal was a metal ball the size of a quarter of that crystal. The ball was emitting a strange blue light, and it seemed to contain magnetic elements so powerful that the weaponry that Noelle and everyone behind it carried was almost attracted by the wave.

It was obvious Noelle was strengthening her finger clasps carrying several throwing knives, while Norman, Muku, and Waka with little difficulty tried to maintain their position on the spot.

Iris looked completely unaffected as she was not carrying anything made of metal. Except for the hairpin and its belt which contains a small amount of magnetic metal elements. The weapon itself is only a whip coated with skin on the handle, so the effect of magnetic pull has no effect on it.

Noelle certainly believes that this magnetic wave emanated along with the blue light coming out of the metal ball.

"I think that crystal is the source of energy that is the main pillar of this building. It shouldn't be a problem to destroy it."

Saying that, Noelle then directly threw out a few throwing knives that had been stuck in her finger since then, and with a terrifying degree of accuracy directly targeted the metal ball.

However, the blades stopped right before reaching the crystal surface.

"What the fuck … "

"The magnetic wave ... Refuse the knife? But ... Doesn't the magnetic wave it emits have strong attraction properties? Then, why … "

Iris deftly analyzed the situation, before she finally swung her whip at the crystal.

And something unexpected happened again. The tip of his whip stopped just before it reached the crystal's surface. Just like what happened to Noelle's throwing knife.

Obviously it's weird. Given that Iris's whip was made of a very elastic mixture of leather and rubber, it should have no effect on her.

"Yaku, Waka. Can you guys do something about that? "

Norman turned to Muku and Waka, who were then replied with only a piggy bank.

"If your attacks alone don't affect him, how can we possibly influence him? "

" … That's right."

Norman was a little difficult to accept, but if it was about strength, Muku and Waka were a little weaker than him. Although their combination attacks were quite terrifying.

"Well, at least we know it can't be destroyed. But ... Don't you feel anything strange here? "

As soon as Noelle said it, everyone suddenly noticed it.

It's too quiet here. Although this place was supposed to be the core part of this building, there was absolutely no guard here.

Even if this base had been abandoned by the enemy, there should have been one or two people guarding their energy generation center.

The silence continued to rule the room for some time. Until finally, three silhouettes slowly emerged from behind the darkness.

Noelle warily drew her sword, while she also strengthened her footing on the floor so as not to be dragged away by those extremely powerful magnetic waves.

The three silhouettes walked slowly out from behind the shadows, and showed their figures.

Two of them were adults, and one looked like a boy of about eleven.

"Who are y'all? " Norman tried to ask, although it was obvious that it was in vain.

One of the adult-looking men there answered Norman's question with a cynical smile.

"Are we not the ones who should ask that? Whoareyou? And why did you enter people's homes without permission? "

"You–"

Just before Norman continued, Noelle walked forward and interrupted them.

"Sorry if we enter your house without permission. But ... We're in a hurry here. Can you guys get out of the way? "

" … You brat's insolent."

The man's face was still smiling, but a clear frown formed on his forehead.

"Bad? Can I take that as a compliment? " noelle said as she formed the same cynical smile as the man.

" … That's enough. Zei, I'm sorry, but I think I'm gonna make a little fuss here."

The man then pulled out two daggers from behind his body, and made an attacking position towards Noelle.

However, before he could move, an extremely violent blow struck his face, and made him bounce far back so that it smashed into the metal wall and made the metal plating dent instantly.

In the place where she had stood before, Noelle with her irritated face looked at the man while swinging her one hand.

"Suckers. Your head is very hard. Are you the type of person who's literally stone-headed? "
