[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 320: The Big Step

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


In the morning, Noelle and Tania were immediately escorted to the front gate by Rudra.


Rudra looked at the two of them back and forth, then nodded firmly. "You're ready to go now."


Only until this was where Rudra could deliver. He simply could not step outside the gate at all, and to be honest, he regretted it a little.


Right now, Noelle and Tania were about to return to the village of the Artof tribe. Although annoying because they have to travel a long journey to get there, they still do it because of an interest.


More than anything else, they need information.


It was possible that Dolum or anyone in the tribe of Artof had information about where the queen's blood was.


"In that case, may your journey be smooth. I'll wait here until you guys get back."


Rudra reached out his hand, trying to shake hands with Noelle. However, Noelle looked at him with a look that somehow felt a bit strange.


"No" Noelle said, shaking her head.


Noelle then raised her hand, pointing at Rudra with one finger. "You're coming."


"Grei ... What do you mean? "


Tania frowned, trying to understand what Noelle was saying. On the other hand, Rudra was the same. If he had a human face, then he would definitely make the same expression as the current Tania.


Noelle should have known, that Rudra would not be able to leave this place.


"As I said, I can't go outside."


Rudra even tried to tell Noelle about it once again. However, the result remains the same. This time Noelle laughed.


"Then, Rudra. If you get the chance to leave this place, will you accept it? What are you gonna do? "


Rudra had absolutely no answer to that question. Because to her, what Noelle was asking felt like an illusion that was impossible in the real world.


Trapped here forever, with no way to get out. That was how Rudra thought about the situation he was in.


Rudra was silent, contemplating and thinking for a moment. Until finally—


"I want to visit them, the descendants of the people I saved. I also want to see His Majesty, even if it's impossible."


His voice sounded raucous, even though he should no longer have vocal cords on that body. But her voice still resounded and produced an emotional vibe that Noelle found quite distressing.


Although it felt heavy to leave this place, but Rudra would do that if he could indeed go outside. He wanted to help save the queen he loved so much.


That answer was enough for Noelle.


Noelle smiled, and walked a few steps back. After which, he raised both of his arms with his palms facing forward, as if he was clinging to something.


"This place, surrounded by a very thin pseudo-barrier. I barely noticed it, and Zephiroth wasn't even able to detect this."


If the Zephiroth scythe passed through a barrier made of magic, then the scythe would instantly neutralize it. That was why the Zephiroth scythe was the most terrifying opponent for those who relied on the defensive power of barrier magic.


But, that doesn't mean there's no way to withstand that scythe with such overwhelming power.


In fact, all that needed to be done was to create a barrier that Zephiroth could not feel. If Zephiroth was unaware of the existence of the magic energy that composes the barrier, it would automatically assume 'nothing', and would never neutralize the barrier.


Tania looked at the scythe that was now hanging on her arm as an accessory.


There was a faint tremor that seemed to be trying to be conveyed by Zephiroth.


"Then .. Zephiroth's restlessness …."


"Caused by this undetectable barrier" Noelle said.


A second later, a pale-looking violet light began to spread out from Noelle's palm, and it looked like a dome surrounded the entire area of the capital.


"The size is really crazy."


Noelle frowned as she felt the mana on her body begin to drain away.


The shape is like a clover leaves four curved down, so it has a clearer shape as a dome.


In fact, the barrier has absolutely no color, has no emissions, and requires no supply of mana from others. That pale violet color came from where Noelle had interfered in trying to show the true form of the barrier on Tania and Rudra.


Just now, Noelle injected her own magic energy to see what the barrier looked like. But its massive size made him think twice.


(I can't keep this up for too long.)


"Ah, Zephiroth …."


The tremors in Zephiroth became stronger, and Tania was instantly aware of her condition.


Tania took a few steps back, somewhat away from the barrier. He was worried that, if he got too close, Zephiroth's power would obliterate the barrier.


After all, Noelle understood that worry.


"Not to worry. Although Zephiroth touched it, this barrier would not disappear. All that will be affected by it is my magic that gives her color. This barrier function is completely unaffected."


Tania decides to trust Noelle. He advanced, and touched the barrier surface with the tip of the Zephiroth.


As a result, the color on the barrier instantly faded until it disappeared completely.


Rudra watched all the scenes in shock. In his entire life, for over 600 years sealed in this place, this was the first time he had seen a barrier that had turned out to envelop the capital.


"What exactly is that? "


As the colors gradually disappeared from the barrier, Rudra finally chose to ask.


Noelle's answer was simple.


"It was this barrier that kept you alive until now. You can't get out of the capital because if you get out of the barrier, you'll die."


One more question was finally solved. Noelle now knew the reason why Rudra's soul had not disappeared even though hundreds of years had passed. All because of this barrier.


"I just tried to analyze it all night, and I did it."


A transparent violet cube finally appeared in Noelle's palm, looking busily floating as Tania and Rudra's attention was drawn to her.


"Let me ask again; Rudra, are you sure you want to leave this place to save your queen? "


Rudra was silent for a moment. At a time like this, no one would bother him. They thought it would be best to let Rudra make all the decisions on his own.


Of course, getting Rudra's help would be a very profitable thing. But even though Rudra refused to come along, it was no problem for Noelle. Most importantly she has all the clues to unseal the Queen of the Bengal.


After being silent to think for a moment, Rudra finally raised his head. She looked at Noelle, then knelt on the spot.


That certainly made Noelle surprised. She did not know what to say, whereas Tania asked Rudra to stand up. But, it was a waste.


Rudra smacked his fist into the ground, and pleaded with a heavy voice.


"Please, take me away. I will do anything, as long as I can save His Majesty."


Noelle's smile deepened. "You don't have to beg for it."


Noelle brought the glowing cube closer to Rudra's helmet, and what happened next was unknown, but the cube in Noelle's hand had disappeared, and there seemed to be a layer of pale violet color enveloping Rudra.


It was probably the barrier that Noelle had emulated before.


"It looks like it's seeping in well. Stand up, Rudra."


Noelle asked Rudra to stand up, which Rudra immediately obeyed.


With all the strange feelings that enveloped her, Rudra tried to look at his own hands, but there was nothing different there, still a hard and inorganic metal armor.


"Now, stop being an introvert and try to step outside the gate."


As if still in disbelief, Rudra hesitantly stepped his feet to cross the line he had been unable to cross.


First step, success. Rudra managed to set foot outside the gate for the first time.


He can really get out. Rudra did not believe this. He took another step, until finally he stood right in front of the gate that he always guarded for 600 years.


Rudra remained silent, never expecting an opportunity to come where he could get out.


"Good, it's working" Noelle said with a sharp grin.


Staring at Rudra for a moment, Noelle spoke again, "The village of the Artof tribe is quite far away, let's go now."


Noelle turned around and walked away from the capital. Behind her, Tania lightly followed, while Rudra did not take a step from where he was.


Right now Rudra had turned around, staring at the front of the huge gate that he had not seen for a very long time.


In the distance, Noelle and Tania patiently waited, knowing that this would be a precious moment for Rudra. So at least Rudra would have wanted to say goodbye to all of that.


Finally, Rudra turned around and calmly walked towards him. This made Noelle unable to resist the excited grin.


To be honest she didn't know if this experiment would work or not, but Noelle was quite confident when it came to proving her theory. Result, perfect. It's going very smoothly.


The effort he put in all night was not in vain.


Tania who was now standing next to him also smiled gently. "Thank God you made it."


"Yes, thanks to you."


All the experiments Noelle did all night accompanied by Tania. However, what Tania did was nothing more than to catch a glimpse of her, and then go to sleep because she did not understand what Noelle was doing.


"I didn't do anything."


"Well, maybe you're right."


In the end, all Noelle did was show Tania a bright smile. But, he was really happy that he had already done the experiment. And the one who encouraged her to do that, was none other than Tania herself.


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


Noelle had memorized the map and the necessary track to get to the village of Artof tribe. Therefore, he did not hesitate to bring Tania and Rudra with the air travel method.


They arrived at the village of the Artof tribe in just a matter of hours. If Noelle did not remember her route, there was no way she would confidently carry them through the air like this.


Noelle finally brought the two down, and arrived at an area of forest filled only by snow and cold temperatures.


"Where are we? "


Rudra looked around, and found nothing but snowy trees.


Indeed, that was what Noelle and Tania first felt when they were brought to visit the village of the Artof tribe; confused, not knowing what place it really was.


But, a real surprise still awaited Rudra.


"Don't get too far from us" Noelle said as she walked calmly in one direction.


Rudra followed Noelle, and just after he stepped through a certain path, the scene suddenly changed.


A protective wall, made of wooden spindles instantly filled Rudra's gaze.


It was clear that this was the first time Rudra had discovered another civilization, so he was shocked. In addition, the change of scenery was also successful in making him flabbergasted.


Regardless of her reaction, Noelle had already knocked on the wooden fence, and a 'human' figure had gone out just after the fence opened.


"Ohh! It's good to see you both are healthy! Is there something you need …? "


Blue-skinned goblins speak human language very eloquently. It surprised Rudra. But he managed to hold back and did not pull his spear to kill the strange creature.


Dolum approached Noelle and asked her to bow for a moment. Noelle did as Dolum asked, and then the chief whispered, "Who is he? "
