A Highest Rank in Another World!

Isabell activated her blessing again and increased her running speed. Looking at the stains on her body, she realized they had stopped increasing, the blessing was helping Isabell.

"Good," she said as she made a complicated expression. She was in a lot of pain from the stains that appeared on her body. Over time the pain increased even more than before.

It was like she had put a hot iron on her skin, it was excruciating.

Not just her, but all the people she saw were starting to scream in despair as the skin on their bodies became stained. Isabell gritted her teeth at this, she wanted to do something to help.

"Mother, is this only happening inside the capital?" Isabell asked and waited for her mother's response. Her mom responded right away.

[ Yes, this is only happening within the capital. If you manage to get out you will not suffer any more injuries. ]

"I understand. If I get people out of the capital, will they be safe?" Isabell was willing to do this, even though she was feeling pain throughout her body. She had mixed feelings.

She was scared, she was determined, it was a mess of feelings.

[ You should not do this. It's going to take a long time to get all the residents out of the capital, and you don't have much time left. ]

"No, I'm sure I can keep the blessing activated for a while longer."

[ But are you sure you can handle the side effects later? ]

"I'm sure of that. First of all, I'm going to the castle and I'll get the queen and princess out of here quickly using flight magic." Isabell had seen the queen and princess before, so it was simple to track them.

Isabell entered the castle at high speed and went directly to a room.

Once there, she didn't find the princess and queen even though the signs were there.

"Are they beneath me?" Isabell, who didn't quite know how they got there, started looking around the room until she found a strange rise in the wall.

She put her hand there and moved the wall. One door began to open. There was a staircase, so Isabell went downstairs to meet the queen and princess.

They had probably been there for hours, Isabell didn't know if they had any resources down there, so she was worried.

But even though she was worried, she was glad the aura wasn't affecting the queen and princess, as the windows and doors are closed.

Isabell descended the stairs quickly, but after reaching the bottom of the stairs, she heard a woman's voice.

"Hide there." It was a weeping voice, and it was certainly the voice of the queen. Isabell had heard her before.

But she never thought she would see the queen in a voice as shaky as that.

'She's really scared,' Isabell thought as she descended.

And to calm the queen, she identified herself.

"I'm not about to hurt you, I came here to take you out, the capital is in chaos," Isabell said after arriving in the room.

As soon as she arrived, she found a woman wearing a luxurious outfit. Certainly, it was Queen Rimeri Southlein.

She was a relatively tall woman who had brown hair that hung to her waist. Plus she has gray eyes like a cloudy sky and thick, fleshy lips.

Right now, this beautiful woman was shaking and holding a sword as she pointed it at Isabell.

'Eh, I'm wearing a little weird outfit.' Remembering that she was all hidden in her garments, Isabell realized why the queen was still scared.

"Aren't you with those armors? Can you prove it to me?"

"Well, I don't know how I would do that... I'm not armor, I think that's enough."

"No, it's not." The queen looked nervous and her hand began to shake even more.

"I'm using holy magic, those armors used dark magic. I destroyed them all with the help of my mother."

"Show me your face." The queen swung her sword and said it. She was trying to intimidate Isabell. Of course, Isabell knew the queen couldn't use magic and she wasn't the kind of girl who used a sword.

Isabell didn't feel threatened, but as she wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible, she took off her hood and then her mask.

She revealed her silver hair with some black streaks scattered through it. In addition to her eyes being gray like the queen's, but her eyes were even lighter.

The queen stared at Isabell's eyes that gleamed in the dark room.

"Do you believe me now? I'm not a demon or anything, now let's get out of here. And get the princess out of that closet, she'll suffocate. This place is completely dusty."

"..."

The queen was still mesmerized by Isabell's appearance.

"I said to pick up your daughter, we need to get out of here quickly, I'm in a hurry!" Isabell caught the queen's attention again.

The queen still didn't want to trust Isabell, but she dropped her sword anyway and went to the closet where the princess was hiding. When the queen opened the door, a little girl about 4 or 5 years old came out.

Cough~~

Cough~~

She coughed from the dust.

"It's all right." The queen hugged her and then clean the little girl's face with her dress.

Isabell who looked at the two realized that the two looked the same. Brown hair, gray eyes. The only difference was that the little girl's hair only reached her shoulders and her lips were small.

"Okay, now we need to get out of here quickly."

"You said the capital is in chaos, but what happened? Haven't you already got rid of the armors?"

"I did it, but something else happened."

"Another thing?"

"Yes, my mother still hasn't explained it to me very well, but it seems like some kind of magic has been cast over the entire capital and it's killing the residents little by little, so I need to hurry."

"What?"

Upon hearing what Isabell said, the queen's face turned pale and she began to tremble as she still hugged her daughter. The queen was feeling worse than ever.

She was sad, desperate, scared, worried about her daughter. She had all these feelings in her heart, making her extremely unstable.

"Hey, wake up, we gotta go."

"How...How are we going to get out without being injured? Didn't you say it's affecting everyone? Even you…" The queen looked at Isabell's face which had some black spots and began to cry.

"Don't worry about me now. And about you guys, I will use holy magic to get you out of the capital. I can't guarantee you guys will be 100% fine, but I guarantee it will be better than if I didn't use any protection on you."

"Mommy, I'm scared."

"It's okay..." The queen hugged her daughter and patted her head. Soon after, she took her daughter in her arms even though she is a girl who is already quite big.

"Come on, how are we going to do this?" The queen was trying very hard to keep her daughter in her arms. Isabell smiled at this situation.

"Come with me."

After that, the queen followed Isabell and they went upstairs.

"Listen, there's a ladder that leads outside the castle, wouldn't it be better to use it?"

"It doesn't matter, now come closer."

At Isabell's request, the queen approached as she held her daughter in her arms with difficulty.

"Don't be scared, okay?" Isabell smiled at the little girl and hugged her and the queen at the same time. Then Isabell's sacred magic began to take their bodies as well.

The queen looked very surprised and a little scared, while the little girl looked very awed and happy by the light shining around her body and her mother's body.

"Now comes the fun part." Isabell used her magic to completely break the wall.

"Could you stop breaking my castle?"

"I don't have time to listen to this. Close your eyes and try to focus on something else, don't try to hear any sounds around you, it might be a little difficult if you do."

Isabell remembered the people screaming and dying in street, she didn't want to let the queen and princess have this vision.

"Right. You heard, didn't you?" The queen placed her hand on the princess's head and then placed the girl's face on her chest, protecting her face, then she also closed her eyes and waited for what came next.

"Right, gotta make this quick." Isabell realized she'd already wasted too much time, so she hurried on and started flying.

'This is harder than I thought.' Since her arms were short, she was having a bit of a hard time keeping her arms around them both.

Isabell flew through the wall and then flew directly outside the capital.

Isabell didn't notice, but the queen had her eyes open and was looking down.. The queen, who had an unpleasant vision, closed her eyes again as she tried to forget what she had seen.
