A Highest Rank in Another World!

A few kilometers from the capital, an hour after the end of the battle in front of the capital's gate.

Tineever.

The weather was cold and the rain had already started to fall. Royma who was still lying on top of her guild's roof continued to whine while her body felt tired.

Several times she tried to go down and use her spells to help the nearby residents, but only a few monsters were hurt, the monster army managed to destroy everything, it was a vision of hell.

Royma lifted her body and sat up, looking straight ahead.

She saw a lot of houses and shops in front of her, but most of them had damaged walls. She looked around the streets and found the bodies of locals scattered everywhere along with the bodies of monsters.

The blood and flesh of the residents had mingled with that of the monsters.

Monsters that are less outnumbered, of course. Adventurers who tried to help were killed and trampled in the streets, where the only thing that was still intact was their swords and armor.

Their bodies... Everything was unrecognizable.

"Shit…" Royma bit her bottom lip and then stood up again.

The wave of monsters had passed, the city was already a mess, and she couldn't see anyone wherever she looked.

'Is everyone dead?' Thinking this as the rain fell on her head, she jumped to the front of the guild on top of some monster bodies she had killed earlier, the smell was horrible.

The blood of monsters had a stench that usually left the environment reeking for days if not cleaned up properly.

Arriving in front of the guild door, her protection was still there and the walls and windows hadn't been broken, showing that the guild hadn't been invaded and whoever was inside was probably fine.

Royma gave a slight smile and looked out over the streets. Standing on the main street, she had a vision of the gate that was now destroyed and the bodies of the soldiers who had fought to keep the monsters from entering were thrown all over the place.

Some monsters were also dead over there, showing that they fought bravely.

"Thank you for at least trying…" She thanked the soldiers who tried to protect them. They might not have made it, but they fought to the end, that's what she was praising.

And to the opposite side of the gate, the main street led to the mansion of the nobleman who ran the city. She walked the streets while clenching her fists and ignoring the bodies of small children lying in the alleys between the buildings.

Then she approached the mansion.

Guards were lying around with their bodies cut and the gate was destroyed. Looking up to the second floor, Royma could see hand-shaped blood marks on the mansion's second-story window.

Everything was so silent that she just didn't want to go in there right now to see if there were any survivors.

She turned and started looking around. No human beings are alive in her sight. She went through some narrow streets looking for someone but found only bodies and bodies in a terrible state.

Houses with their doors and walls are broken, and inside blood and more blood stained the humble furniture of the residents. It made Royma's heartache.

In years and years of work, she has never experienced anything like this. She never thought she would see such a terrible scene in her entire life, the feeling she had now was pure hatred mixed with sadness.

It was a feeling she hadn't felt since her mother was murdered in front of her, it was a feeling that was gnawing at her and she wanted the person guilty of it to be tortured and killed in the worst possible way.

Hic~~ Waaa~~

The emotional trigger for Royma to start crying was the sight of a mother with a smile on her face hugging her little daughter in front of the door of one of the houses.

Royma started crying desperately like a child as she walked the streets of her precious city, she couldn't accept that things got that way in such a short time, she CAN'T ACCEPT IT.

She ran quickly through the streets trying to ignore everything around her and ran straight to the adventurers' guild. The protection was removed and the door opened, revealing the large pool of blood that had been left by Ketine's wound when she was killed.

Royma could still listen crying as she approached the room where the girls were locked.

When the door opened, the girls looked scared at Royma, but soon after started crying again. Ketine's closest friend was still beside her.

Ketine's body had been covered in a brown blanket the girls found.

"It's finally over... But everything is destroyed." Tears welled up in Royma's eyes again and she started to cry.

The girls looked at that scene surprised as they had never seen their master cry before, but soon after understanding the meaning of her words, they started crying again.

They all remembered their families who were in their homes.

One hour before.

In the capital of Southlein, the king sat smiling on his throne as he received the news that the battle had been won. He was so happy he almost jumped off his throne, but he had to keep his composure.

Mitle who was in front of him was also happy and relieved that everything had turned out well.

"You did a good job." The King congratulated Mitle and he was a little embarrassed about it.

"Well I didn't do much, the monsters managed to win without my help." He was worried about it. In the end, he didn't help anything and just stayed hidden and being protected, he didn't give any orders.

Seeing this, the king laughed.

"Hahahaha, but I'm sure those monsters won the battle because of you." The King looked at Mitle's long hair, the King was thinking how very handsome and young he was.

And probably his beauty was one of the reasons those monsters gave their all in battle.

"But even so I don't think I've done enough, I don't deserve any reward," Mitle said this, but deep down he was feeling frustrated at having to refuse a reward.

But his face lit up with a smile right away.

"Don't worry, I will give the reward as promised and you have no right to refuse"

"Thank you, your majesty." Mitle was jumping with happiness in his mind.

"Alright, you can go now, I've prepared the reward for you until tomorrow. I'll have someone get in touch when the time comes."

"Right." Mitle rose and bowed once more. Then he walked out of the room with an excited smile. The king who remained seated on the throne looked satisfied.

'I need to warn Kime that everything went well, and I also need to warn that the monsters are heading towards the main army. Since she's responsible for them, I think it's good to let her know.' The king rose and was escorted to the lab again.

When he entered, he found Kime sitting at a table while reading some documents with many numbers that the king couldn't quite figure out what it was about.

"It worked out, Kima, we won the battle. Just like you said, they had a landslide victory."

"Good to know, now leave me alone that I'm busy."

"Do I need to remind you that I am the king?"

"I don't care, now go away."

"Tsk."

The king had only come here to warn her, but he was eventually sent away. The king spoke to her about the monsters that have gone to the main army, but she just acted nonchalantly about it.

Now that everything was settled for the time being and it would take a while for him to receive news from the battlefield, the king decided to spend the rest of the day with his family. His wife was worried about the war, so he felt he had to support her.

Already her daughter, she was as smiling as before, as if she didn't know the meaning of war.

Noah, who was sitting at the dinner table with his family, enjoyed dinner while he had a good conversation with all his family as before. It hasn't happened for a while.

Her mother, father, sister, and Lari sitting together at a table while they ate.

Only they were here, their friends who came to the village will stay in some houses in the village. After some residents left, there were some houses left that could be used.

Dala and Clachel were in one of the houses.

Sara and Rose were in another.

And Eli, Taciane, and Ciaphia were together in another house.

So everything was going well. Everyone had already settled in and seemed to be fine and the protections were all finished, the only thing they had to do from now on was waiting.

Or that's what should be done.

But Noah couldn't sit still for the moment, so he had a few thoughts on his mind.

'I will level up.. Even if I do something crazy, I'm going to level up' That's what he thought as he stuffed food into his mouth.
