[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 96: Angel Screams (1)

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

"Keep away you fuck! "

Noelle yelled angrily as Harold continued to stand in his way.

After a moment of seeing Charlotte get out of control, Noelle immediately rushed to him. However, Harold continued to obstruct her in various ways.

Noelle swung her sword and split Harold's body in front of her. However, Harold's body melted into a shadow and disappeared in the air.

It was clear that it was one of the fake bodies that Harold had created with his abilities.

Next, two other Harold suddenly appeared and blocked Noelle with a sword in each of their hands.

The two Harold instantly swung their swords and charged at Noelle with various types of slashes. However, Noelle dodged and fended it off, then kicked one of Harold's stomachs.

Harold who was kicked Noelle was immediately bounced far back and crashed to destroy a building.

Noelle did not stop there, he immediately took out a spear and threw it with all his might towards the other Harold who was still in front of him.

The spear with terrifying speed and power shot far forward and hollowed out Harold's body into a doughnut-like shape.

However, it was not the real Harold.

Noelle continued to issue various attacks to finish off Harold, but all Harold had killed all along were clones created with his abilities.

He was completely unable to see or even sense Harold's true presence. However, seeing from how the fake Harold kept coming, it meant that the real one was still around him.

Noelle took out a few swords with extremely sharp blades, then used Verstand's ability to position all those swords around her.

"With this, at least I can hold it a little."

Nodding her head with certainty, then flicking her finger, Noelle quickly ran over to Olivia and the others who were facing Charlotte's rampage.

He occasionally gets an attack from Harold. However, he was somehow able to dodge all of it and send out a counterattack using his sword.

Noelle with a quick and unquestioning movement continued to run and jump over every single ruin of the building that blocked her path.

He used his blood chains and anchors to occasionally speed up his movements and finish off the surviving monsters.

Noelle saw a wyvern flying over her, and immediately smiled.

He fired his anchor and made it wrapped around the neck of the wyvern, then climbed onto his back which was still in the air.

With her physical strength that was beyond human norms, Noelle tried to make the wyvern submit to her.

It didn't take long, it reached where the golden black light pillar surge that Charlotte caused.

Noelle directly descended from the wyvern's back and prepared her position in the air to land. However, a large, pitch-black ring hit him from the side and hit right on his stomach.

Needless to say, Noelle immediately bounced far to the side and crashed into a building to the point of destroying it with a tremendous shockwave.

Noelle had gritted her teeth firmly to withstand the shock. However, that did not stop him from mild brain concussions.

He tried to stand up while holding his head and waiting for all the wounds on his body to regenerate, then looked towards the ring.

The black ring that hit him earlier had an appearance that was quite similar to the halo circle that was above Charlotte's head. However, they are a little smaller and thicker.

Naturally, Noelle thought that it was more like a disc weapon.

The halo seemed to look at Noelle from above, then dropped her and hit Noelle's body again to make her bounce far back.

(After much thought ... I have absolutely no idea about the angelic fighting style .. )

Noelle smiled bitterly as she thought that.

He painstakingly stood up and made a quick movement and advanced straight to where Charlotte was.

The halo circle chased after him and tried to hit him again. However, Noelle easily dodged him and caught one of his sides, then threw him deep into the place where Harold might have used to hide.

After escaping from the halo, Noelle quickly jumped up and landed right next to Olivia.

"What's going on? " ask Noelle.

Noelle tensely stared at the figure of Charlotte who was covered by a surge of golden black magic aura, while the black wings growing on her back were seen giving off a terrifying atmosphere.

The halo above his head also rotated so rapidly that it produced hot air around him.

Around her, there were several halo circles similar to the one Noelle had faced before, hovering around Charlotte at the center.

His face did not display any expression, and his empty eyes only looked at the ground, while the magic aura continued to surge with full force and destroy the surrounding environment.

"Charl .. He mentioned his sister's name, probably … "

Noelle did not need to hear the continuation of Olivia's sentence. After all, he was already able to guess about what really happened.

Instead, he regretted the fact that he was careless and did not predict this beforehand.

(What only his sister showed up for? That means .. )

The first possibility that Noelle thought about this situation was, Terneth took advantage of the opportunity when the investigation of the corpse was carried out at the Zernroden family residence, and simply stole Ein's corpse, instead, his sister Charlotte because the bodies of her parents are not worthy to be raised.

However, that possibility actually produces another question that Noelle does not know the answer to.

How could he have gotten his body without anyone knowing? Terneth was the head of the Eisen branch guild. However, still he should not have any power in the territory of the Zernroden family.

Based on the information circulating, the investigation carried out on the bodies of the Zernroden family was carried out by the executive who was sent directly by the King and the council members.

A person with the position of guild leader should not be able to break through their defenses and steal the corpse.

(Don't tell?!《Fortis Domination》?! )

Now he remembers. If it is as he thinks, then everything makes sense.

The Zernroden family was a noble family that was in the political realm, it was only natural that they had a lower level than Terneth who was a veteran adventurer.

Based on Terneth's conversations with people he didn't know before, Terneth's skill《Fortis Domination》 can only be used on people or creatures whose statistical levels are lower than his own.

The guards overseeing the course of the investigation of the Zernroden case also did not seem so powerful, that Terneth could manipulate them easily and steal the corpse without anyone realizing it.

Noelle smiled bitterly as she thought of that conclusion.

(This is not the time to think about something else .. )

As soon as he shook his head and focused on Charlotte, the several halo circles hovering around Charlotte instantly went out of their tracks and headed towards Noelle at a speed that produced a noise.

Noelle reflexively directly moved her arm and deflected the halo circle using her sword. However, that halo circle continued to attack him nonstop.

Olivia helps Noelle by freezing some halo circles. However, all of the halo circles he had frozen gave off hot air and melted the ice that was blocking their movement.

The sight left Olivia shocked for a moment. However, Olivia instantly prepared her rapier and pierced into one of the halo circles with a high intensity of danger.

The halo ring that was pierced using Olivia's rapier immediately exploded and melted into black dust which eventually fused with the halo circle that was above Charlotte's head.

While continuously fending off the halo circle attacks with her sword, Noelle noticed the situation around her.

Just from looking at it, he knew that something was making everyone speechless.

Noelle glanced at Olivia for a moment, and Olivia replied with a grim nod.

{There were two people named Leonardo and Lucia who appeared earlier, and the woman named Lucia told us information about our abilities and race in everyone.}

Olivia answered telepathically, perhaps to prevent more information from coming out.

Noelle who heard that from Olivia inevitably widened her eyes in surprise. While fending off the halo's endless attacks, he spoke to Olivia via telepathy.

{How do they know?! Do they have any connections with Anastasia? If that is the case, then it makes sense .. }

It was natural for Noelle to think that way. After all, Anastasia was the only person who knew a lot about them.

Noelle was always careful not to divulge any information about herself and Olivia from everyone.

Of course, Charlotte is an exception because Noelle wants to form a trust with Charlotte.

As for Chloe, she was on absolute obedience to Noelle. So, he couldn't possibly betray and leak information about her to others.

Thinking for a moment, Olivia then replied with her telepathy.

{Nn, I don't know how that Lucia can know anything about us, but ... She is also immortal like us. I've tried to shoot him with Aligma, and he regenerates quickly.}

(Bothers .. )

Noelle was only able to smile bitterly as she realized that she had been involved with something troublesome.

No wonder that everyone was currently in a state of silence from shock. After all, the woman named Lucia was telling a secret about Noelle and the others right in front of them.

For now, he must somehow bring the situation back to normal and calm Charlotte down.

The man had blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. However, his slightly too white skin seemed to have many sinister cracks.

Judging from the genetic structure and resemblance of his face, it is not wrong that the man was the twin sister of Charlotte who was killed by Harold.

"So .. No wonder Charl went berserk … "

There was no way anyone could calm down when they saw the person they so dear and cherished who should have been dead, suddenly appearing in such a state of life.

Moreover, Charlotte saw for herself how her brother was killed right in front of her.

His sister, Ein sera Zernroden was seen staring at the air with her empty eyes. Even so, it was clear that he was moving slowly towards them.

"Hmm? Ohhh! Now I remember! That girl, if I'm not mistaken, she's the daughter of the Zernroden family I once let go, right?! "

As Noelle confusedly thought of a plan to get out of this situation, Harold suddenly just appeared right beside her and cheerfully pointed at Charlotte.

As he looked at Ein, he widened his eyes in surprise for a moment, then clicked his tongue in annoyance and showed a face of disdain.

"Terneth's bastard ... What did he do with my victim?! "

(What the fuck is this?! )

Harold's reaction was completely unthinkable to Noelle.

He seemed happy to see Charlotte. However, he was really irritated when he saw Ein.

Both came from families he had destroyed. The only difference was, he killed Ein, and let Charlotte live.

Noelle did not understand her way of thinking.

For the time being, he threw out some swords and pointed them at Harold, then turned his head towards Cryll.

"I'll explain the details later! For the time being, help me calm down that berserk angel! "

Cryll looks troubled for a moment. However, he exasperatedly scratched the back of his head and sighed resignedly.

"Ahhh alright! But, once this is done, you should explain everything to me! "

Saying that, Cryll activated Sword Geist and drew his own sword.

Noelle nodded happily.

"No problem! For now, help me calm Charl down! And you fucking fugitive bastard! You better not do anything weird! Or I will completely turn you into minced meat! " noelle shouted as she pointed at Harold.

Harold did not argue with–he ignored him and continued to stare at Ein's deathman in annoyance.

While preparing her weapon and continuing to observe the movements of Charlotte's halo circle, Noelle asked Olivia.

"Livia, is your condition okay now? "

"Nn. All my wounds have recovered" Olivia replied briefly.

Noelle nodded and made the stance of the horses while predicting the defensive attack that Charlotte would make once she advanced.

Cryll also prepares his attack, followed by Glantz and Mioku. They continued to follow Noelle's instructions even though they did not understand the details of the situation.

However, a voice that sounded like it was distorted suddenly appeared and interrupted them.

『Ahh! Waitaminute! Waita minute! 』

Noelle frowned.

(This voice ... Anastasia? )

While everyone was in a state of confusion due to the sudden appearance of the voice, Noelle and Olivia frowned at knowing the identity of the person behind the voice.

『Do not attack rashly! You guys ... Won't be able to beat him! At least, for now! 』

The declaration of warning suddenly launched by the voice left everyone shocked, while Noelle clicked her tongue in annoyance.

Fortunately, no one realized that but Olivia.

" … Who are you? " ask the Earl while frowning.

『I? Uhh! On second thought, I almost never showed myself, huh?! Then introduce! I am Anastasia, the figure you have been worshipping as a god! 』

" ……… Ha? "

The Earl's bewildered voice leaked from his mouth, making everyone tilt their heads.

Noelle was only able to sigh resignedly while somehow enduring Charlotte's halo circle attack.

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

『And so! I saw the mess this little angel caused, so I was forced to come down to help you guys! 』

After some time, Anastasia explained the situation to everyone and somehow made them all understand.

In that case, Noelle suddenly asked.

"Wait on! So, you've never shown yourself in public?! But, why did you appear before the three of us back then? "

'At that time' Noelle meant the night of the fighting tournament in Suiren. At that time he and Charlotte were talking nonsense about life and immortality that made the present Noelle want to kill herself out of shame.

He himself never thought that he would utter such shameful sentences. However, at least he can cross off one of the options on the list of 'sentences he wants to say someday'.

After a moment of silence, Anastasia then replied.

『That, of course because the three of you have already crossed the set limit for the human race. There's no way I'm gonna keep quiet, is there? What's more, you and your lover were the ones who inherited the true vampire blood, and that Charlotte girl there had already evolved illegally into a fallen angel, a race that had never existed before. Seriously, do I have to explain everything here? Now these? 』

" ……… "

Noelle's forehead twitched with annoyance. He was eager to slap the face of the goddess on which all the problems he had been going through all this time were based.

"Okay, forget about that for a second! You said we couldn't beat Charl in our current situation, right? Do you have a solution? "

As the conversation was just about to move away from the plot, Noelle tried to divert the conversation by asking the intent of Anastasia's previous words.

『Yap! I have a solution! Even though I cannot go down and help you directly, as a god that gives strength to heroes, I can still give you a small favor! 』

If Anastasia said it like that, then there was no other choice.

Noelle had no idea how powerful skill《Wrath》 was. However, seeing how Anastasia had to step in to help get it done, then surely the holder of《Wrath》 has tremendous power.

『But, umm .. It took time to set it up. Therefore, I would be happy if you all could buy time for at least a few minutes.』

Noelle thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Do that in less than ten minutes."

『Ehh?! Whyyy?! 』 Anastasia asked in panic.

Hearing Anastasia's spontaneous response, Noelle did not let out any expression and pointed backwards with her finger.

In the direction he was pointing, there was Harold and Charlotte who were busy fighting swords, while some wildly spinning halo circles continued to try to attack Harold from all sides.

Harold easily fended off and avoided all of it, before he finally continued to attack.

From a layman's point of view, Harold might look like he's fighting fiercely with Charlotte. However, the eyes of the experienced fighters clearly saw that Harold did not completely attack Charlotte.

More precisely, Harold looked like he was more after Ein than Charlotte, while Charlotte tried to block him and protect Ein.

"What ... Charl still maintains his consciousness? "

If Charl really was still conscious, then there was no way his movements would become so messy that his attacks could be avoided by Harold with relative ease.

It was obvious that Charlotte was protecting Ein from her subconscious.

Perhaps because of her regret that could not save her family back then, Charlotte still harbored an immense desire and desire to protect her family.

Harold and Charlotte continued to fight while Ein remained silently fixed with expressionless wakah and blank eyes.

Some black feathers were shot from Charlotte's wings, and touched Harold's body.

The body part that the book touched immediately let out a corrosive reaction that worked quite quickly.

Realizing that, Harold immediately jumped back and used the surrounding undead bodies as a shield.

Noelle did not know if Anastasia saw him or not. However, Anastasia replied with certainty.

『Alright! I'll try! 』

Hearing that, Noelle immediately nodded and jumped forward to join the fight, followed by Olivia and Cryll who immediately came forward with her.
