Chapter 158 - 156 – She Knows Where Noah Is.

I was naked in the middle of the forest and I felt my broken ribs moving. I tried to get up, but the sharp pain that hit me wouldn't let me move.

After trying so hard to get up, I started to feel tired felt like I was close to passing out. These injuries are very serious, dammit, this Goddess should have thought a little better before giving me this "punishment"

'Ahh, I need to go home, but how am I going to get there now? And if I do come I'm naked and hurt, there's no way to explain it to my mom and dad.' I thought as I lay down on the ground again.

I looked around afraid that some monster was approaching, but there was no one around, apart from the sound of birds I couldn't hear anything.

Putting strength in my unbroken arm, I sat down on the ground and crawled to a tree. I put my back to the tree and took a deep breath as I placed my hand on my rib.

'Will this work?' Since I had been reborn, maybe my abilities had returned. So I opened my Status and then tried to activate the goddess's blessing to heal my body

But when I tried to activate it, I got a message that made me want to cry right now.

[This skill is blocked]

This goddess... She's crazy.

Maybe she's just a sadist who wants to see me suffer? I bet that's it, that stupid goddess! I'll be sure to punch her in the face when I get the chance.

Of course, I wouldn't do that, but I will certainly have a good discussion with her.

"But now that I can't heal my body, what do I do?" I looked in the direction the village was but couldn't see her. I was probably a long way from the village, and that just made it difficult.

If the village was close, I could ask for help or someone could find me.

'Should I wait for someone to find me? Or maybe wait for my abilities to return?' No, I'm bleeding, if I stay here too long I'll die again, I need to treat my wounds.

"Should I force my body and try to get to the village?" I tried to get up while holding on to one of the trees, and after much pain and suffering, I managed to get to my feet.

I straightened my body and felt the air in my lungs suddenly diminish, it was like my lungs had been punctured. My breathing was uneven, but at least I could still breathe.

"That's good, at least it looks like my lungs weren't punctured." When I walked, I had trouble breathing.

I didn't know if it was because my ribs were squeezing my lungs, or if I was having trouble breathing because of the pain I was feeling. But even suffering, I moved on.

My arm had already stopped hurting by the time, the pain in my ribs was so bad I'd already forgotten my shoulder was broken.

And with difficulty, I moved on. The tree roots on the ground made it very difficult as I couldn't lift my foot much.

But while I held on to the trees and breathed hard, I moved on.

A few meters away, as it had already dawned, people in the village began to leave to work in the countryside and the safety of the city.

Of course, Noah's mother was no different.

Emma who had risen for some time was in her living room while she drank some tea. It was currently exactly six o'clock in the morning, she had woken up at about four o'clock in the morning.

She was calm as she thought about the war that was going on when suddenly a scream hurt her ears.

Realizing it was Lari's voice, and that the voice was coming from Noah's room, she got up quickly and ran over to it.

"What is happening? Are you okay?" She said as she entered the bedroom.

When she walked in, she found Lari standing beside Noah's bed as she had tears in her eyes. Noah's bed was empty and he wasn't there.

"Where did he go?" Emma asked worriedly, but Lari just shook her head like she didn't know where he'd gone. Seeing this, Emma ran out of the house.

She saw Lucio talking to some men then approached.

"Lucio, have you seen Noah around?" She asked as she looked around worriedly to see if she could see Noah.

"I haven't seen him today, isn't he sleeping yet? And what was that scream? I almost ran into the house to find out what was going on." The men around them also seemed to have heard Lari's scream.

If she knew that, she would be embarrassed, so Emma decided not to talk to her about it.

"It's because Lari went to Noah's room but he wasn't there, then for some reason, she started screaming."

"Noah wasn't in his room?" Lucio furrowed his brows as he mumbled. Seeing this, Emma realized that her husband hadn't seen Noah.

'Damn, where is he? Did he go to one of the girls' houses?' Emma thought that maybe he went to visit Lisandra's friends' house. She didn't know why he would do that, but it was a possibility.

Lucio, who watched Emma run away towards the girls' house, followed Emma worriedly.

"Are you sure he's not home?"

"I didn't look inside the house..."

"Idiot. So keeps after him and I'll go back to the house to check."

"Right." After this conversation, Lucio walked away and ran quickly towards his house. When he got there, he found Lari worried as she cried.

Seeing this, it was the first time that Lucio realized how much this woman loved his son, and it made him happy in a way.

But that feeling of happiness was transformed into worry mixed with fear when he noticed that he had no sign of his son inside his house.

Lisandra, who had noticed movement inside the house and had heard Lari's scream, had also woken up and didn't seem to know where Noah was at the moment. Knowing about her possible disappearance, Lisandra also began to despair.

None of them knew when Noah had disappeared, so maybe he's been gone for hours.

So before long, Lucio, Lisandra, and Lari had banded together to search around the village for Noah. But even asking the guards around, they were sure that no one had entered or left the village.

When Emma arrived at the house Dala and Clachel were staying at, she desperately asked about Noah, but he didn't seem to have passed that way, so she soon ran to the house Ciaphia was staying at.

She should have gone directly there, but she took advantage of the fact that the two women's house was close and asked them.

But to no avail. They hadn't seen Noah since last night when dinnertime came.

So Emma was getting even more worried as she approached the house Ciaphia and the others were staying at. It was a house further away.

Once there, she knocked on the door several times.

Knock~~ Knock~~ Knock~~

Knock~~ Knock~~

She continued knocking on the door before the door was opened by Taciane.

Taciane still had her eyes almost closed, showing that she had just woken up.

"Emma?" When she realized it was Emma, ​​she quickly opened her eyes.

"Noah isn't here? Today we woke up and he wasn't home, I'm worried about him." She expected a positive response from Taciane, but...

"I'm sorry, he's not here. You can come in if you want to check it out." Emma clenched her fists and then thought for a moment, she didn't need to enter the house to check.

These girls wouldn't hide Noah.

"You have no idea where he went? I'm very worried." Realizing how worried Emma was, Taciane asked Emma to wait and went inside the house, she went directly to Ciaphia's room.

Emma stood there biting her lip as she tapped her foot impatiently on the floor. Anyone looking at her now would surely notice that several things are going on in her mind at the moment.

She was thinking about several bad things that could have happened.

So thoughtful that she didn't even notice Taciane and Ciaphia approaching.

Ciaphia also had her eyes partially closed, showing that she had just woken up.

"Why did you bring her here? Does she know where Noah is?" Emma eyed the two girls suspiciously. But Ciaphia who was sleepy was taking a while to respond, so Emma got a little impatient.

"I need to go after him," Emma said as she turned away but was stopped from leaving by Tacine who took her hand.

"Ciaphia knows where Noah is, that's why I brought her here, just wait for her to finish waking up." Saying that Taciane gave Ciaphia a little slap on the cheek to wake her up, and it worked.

Ciaphia looked around confused, and when she noticed Emma in front of her she was even more confused.

Until she remembered what happened yesterday, then her face went pale.
