[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 252: The Crisis

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

In the star-studded night sky, dozens to dozens of shadows of human figures could occasionally be seen. They each set foot on one roof, then jumped towards the other.

The trip was done without anyone being aware of who was below.

This area was still crowded with residents, but none of them were aware of the presence of everyone who was doing the chase above.

This proved how skilled they were at moving around without anyone knowing.

One of the people in the entourage was a man with the Church cloak of Goddess Zelica enveloping his body.

It was Dexter.

After receiving an impromptu report from the Tian team, Dexter immediately left his position, then entered into a chase with Tian and the others.

His mind was a little chaotic, but he was somehow able to become calm at the thought of Mona's condition.

Although Mona is still not awake, she is not in critical condition.

Dexter gritted his teeth, which made him unintentionally strengthen the leg stomp.

The roof that became his footing was cracked, and showed signs of being destroyed. But Dexter doesn't care about that. No one lives in that building.

Although vast, the city of Fencen strangely had a smaller population.

When compared with the city of Eisen which is almost the same size as this city, the population difference is very high.

Dexter jumped as high and as far as possible, then looked down.

There, several human figures were also seen running in the same direction as him.

They all wore robes, but had different emblems.

Most of them were emblems belonging to the Church of the Goddess Zelica, while the most numerous afterwards were the Church of the Goddess Anastasia.

Moldy's incursion continued, until finally, they found the target's stopping point.

It was an abandoned construction area, with 0 human populations around it.

The chasing members one by one landed and stood guard in a position to surround one unfinished building. Meanwhile, Dexter took off his cloak hood and walked up to Tian who was alone.

"Is he there? " ask Dexter.

Tian only glanced at him for a moment, then tapped the tip of his stick onto the ground where he was resting.

The sound of his strange knocking echoed throughout the place, and Dexter was worried it would be heard by the enemy.

But then Tian smiled faintly and answered his worries.

"The voice will not be heard by the enemy. Our target, Moldy, is inside. Prepare all units for siege."

Dexter nodded. He turned around and asked everyone to be ready.

The leader in this pursuit is the Church's side Goddess Zelica, which means Dexter can command all units provided he has permission from Tian or Dolf.

After all the units prepared, Tian raised his hand upwards while grasping a revolver. Then, he shot it.

That was a signal from the start of the hunt.

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

All units were about to directly raid that construction area. However, a huge explosion suddenly occurred, and blew away all of your pillars and metal that were arranged into the foundation of the building.

Most of the units reflexively jumped back to avoid the blast area, but some did not manage to retreat in time, and ended up trapped among the metal debris.

"Damn. Save the trapped! Take back all the wounded! "

Dexter immediately gave an additional order, and they obeyed him.

The existence of the target is a priority, but the safety of all units is much more important. Dexter felt very heavy-hearted because he had to slightly lower his ego to not directly pursue the target.

But, continued pursuit was not necessary.

While most of the chase members were working together to save their injured comrades, a slightly resounding sound of footsteps emerged from the direction of the metal pillar debris.

"A~ah, you're all too excited. Why are you guys after me? "

The source of the sound of the move was a man, who actually looked very normal. If he was not here, then he would only be considered a normal man that could be found anywhere.

However, he unfortunately appeared in the middle of the scene, and blatantly admitted that he was the one being chased.

Everyone instantly became more and more alert, and Tian was also in a defensive position with his staff.

However, this does not apply to Dexter.

Seeing the culprit who attacked Mona, made Dexter's head heat up.

Dexter without saying anything, and without hesitation immediately launched himself forward, and was intent on lashing out a punch at Moldy.

"Dexter! "

Tian tried to stop him, but he didn't succeed. Dexter had already arrived before Moldy, and instantly pushed his punch with all his might.

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

In one of the apartments belonging to the Lunatic Order.

In this building with more than 10 rooms, a woman was lying on a bed in one of the rooms.

She had beautiful and dazzling features, but the slight frown on her face showed the influence of time.

The woman is Mona, who is a member of the Lunatic Order, as well as the victim of an attack carried out by a 'mystery person'.

In her bed, Mona still did not move. However, his expression became slightly distorted, and he slowly opened his eyes.

For a moment, Mona was unable to think of anything. He simply continued to look at the ceiling of his room in complete silence, before finally consciousness had returned to him.

Mona instantly widened her eyes, and she forced to get up. However, a tremendous pain suddenly emerged from his head.

Only then did he become aware of the bandages that were placed there.

"This … "

One by one the memories of what happened appeared, and Mona gradually became more and more fearful.

He subconsciously hugged himself in fear, but then immediately raised his face in panic.

(No... They .. Must have started by now! Nah! Nay! )

Mona's breathing became heavier than before, and soon forced herself to get out of bed.

However, his legs were so weak they were unable to support his body. Mona fell down with her head hitting the table.

It felt like a wound was forced open again, but Mona ignored it.

Right now, the only thing he thought about was the important task of telling everyone.

Dolf, Tian, Dexter, and everyone in the Nautica bar. He had to tell them something.

(They will definitely chase that guy, but–! )

Mona forced herself to crawl towards the door, but her strength had not recovered at all. He had barely fainted just after dragging his body 2 meters away.

(No ... Not him .. There is another party ... Who is involved .. )

Leaving those words in her mind, Mona lost consciousness, and fell unconscious on the floor.

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

In a place not far from the construction area where the siege of Moldy.

Noelle who was gradually recovering from her crazy state smiled, while looking at the Dolls who were still running around in an uncertain direction.

Tania and Felice who were standing not far behind him could only be stunned when they saw the sight.

They just arrived. Noelle was actually running at a speed they could not keep up with.

When the two arrived, what greeted them was the figure of Noelle who had finished slaughtering the Dolls.

Now, there were only a few Puppets left, but they seemed to have lost their minds completely, and were just running around in an uncertain direction.

Noelle raised the black sword in her right hand, then placed the blade of the sword on her own shoulder, while her left arm lifted up and pointed Verstand's silver sword forward.

Instantly, several swords and axes that were seen to be used frequently appeared and shot towards the remaining Puppets.

Each of the Dolls ended up with their heads crushed by Noelle's sword and axe.

There were no dolls left, but the smile on Noelle's face still did not disappear.

He was still affected by the blood of the Puppets he had drunk before.

" … There is no point in staying here. Noah, what are you gonna do next? "

Responding to Tania's question, Noelle turned her head back, and replied, "Isn't that clear? I'll go to their place. Do you want to come along? The portal's near there, isn't it? "

" … Yes," Tania replied as she nodded her head.

Felice still doesn't understand what's going on. He also still did not understand Noah's 'transformation' from 'Normal Noah', to 'Crazy Noah'.

He wanted to inquire about that, but the situation was extremely unsupportive.

Noelle did not care what Felice thought, and instead looked westward. There, all the members of the chase are besieging their target named Moldy.

Noelle didn't know what was going on there, but she was sure that the situation was bad enough.

Knowing that, Noelle smiled.

Noelle made Langen and Verstand back into one sword, then said, "Let's go now."

Both Tania and Felice simply nodded while following him from behind.

『Hehehe.』

Noir's laughter resounded in his mind, but Noelle who had slightly lost her sanity did not think to ask anything.

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

In a border area between the city of Huvi and the city of Fencen.

It was a very dark place. It was entirely a meadow that only had a few trees growing in the distance.

What made the place look different were the two railroad lines made from a mixture of metals.

However, instead of a carriage, passing around the place were the shadows of three human figures.

They all wore black robes to camouflage, but had a shining gold pin with a police insignia on the hook of the robe.

Identified as one woman and two men, they are all police agents who made a deal with Noelle.

Right now, they are in a very emergency situation.

After they made a deal with Noah Ashrain a while ago, they immediately worked on the task at their disposal.

Traveling to the capital from the city of Fencen is not a big deal, considering their full speed in running can exceed steam trains.

After they reached the capital, they immediately launched an investigation into someone named Gild.

It was not difficult to find the person, because Noelle had given them all the necessary clues. They just need to visit the data collection section at the Community Services headquarters, then ask for data from everyone named Gild who came to visit the capital recently.

They found some suitable people, but the Gild they were looking for had a very striking life history. It's not hard to find him.

Over the course of several observations, they discovered many oddities.

Although this person named Gild had a history of being an immigrant in the Elfrieden Neutral Region, Gild had absolutely no transfer papers.

In short, he was an undocumented immigrant officially in Elfrieden's public records.

Moreover, he had absolutely no history whatsoever before appearing in one of the cities in the Elfrieden Neutral Region.

Instead, the identity papers he had were issued by the Trump Kingdom, a kingdom that had been dissolved, and now included the territory of the Alacrylia Empire.

Just from that alone, the agents have come up with some conclusions of their own.

To strengthen the conclusions they made, research continues. Until finally—

"Damn .. I've never felt this desperate before! "

—They found his movements very suspicious.

Ever since they first saw Gild alone they had been very shocked. However, Gild's subsequent movements made them even more shocked.

Gild seemed to have noticed the investigation that was being conducted on her, yet she did nothing. Instead, he lived his life very normally.

Until finally, he decided to leave the capital.

At that moment, the three of them still did not understand the situation. However, Gild suddenly turned her head and looked at them with a very calm face.

That expression made them shudder in horror. They naturally understood that something was wrong.

Then, the three finally decide to leave Gild alone, without knowing what the man will do.

"Stop protesting. We have to tell Noah about this. But, really ... I really didn't expect … "

The woman who was the leader of the agent team frowned helplessly as she discovered the shocking fact.

They discover that Gild, who they are investigating, is the same person as the old man who spoke to Noah in the lake of Nif.

"But, more than that .. The old bastard had a very terrible connection .. Should we report this to the local headquarters? "

" … Even if we tell them, will they believe? Instead, they'll all be suspicious of why we're investigating this guy."

Their leader continued to give a rebuttal to every word they put out. This proves how messed up their chairman's mind is now.

"Having a relationship with the evil organization Hermit Cult is not something that can be used as a joke. We are not like the church. We can't move until the evidence is found."

The woman further deepened the frown on her forehead.

He really did not expect that the old man who looked good in Nif was actually a member of a dangerous organization.

Although he did not know for sure about the Hermit Cult, there were some records about them in the police archives.

Hermit Cult is also often known as a fanatical group that adores magic. They would do anything, for the sake of gathering knowledge, and pursue the highest levels as magicians.

"Now we're really involved. I hope the man will give us an extra fee … "

One of his subordinates protested, but their leader could not argue against that.

Actually, he was thinking the same thing. However, the price was not very well worth the information about the case involving the Swallow Life Order.

Fortunately, they had already sent the information regarding the case to their superiors, so the commission could be considered later.

Right now, the fight must have started in the city of Fencen.

"We're late. Damn, why can't the man be contacted with a familiar? "

They had tried to contact Noah with a familiar, but strangely familiar they were unable to trace his whereabouts.

This makes the only last way is by meeting and reporting in person.

"At least .. I wish we could get there earlier than Gild … "

They could only sigh and pray for the safety of everyone, including Noah and themselves.
