********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..Erick's reminder made them focus their attention on the lady standing on the bidding stage."Is she our little shen's mother?" Merial asked while covering her hand on her mouth feeling sad on her behalf, seeing her haggard appearance even though her body looked healthy but the visible sadness on her face made it obvious that the lady is forced into this condition."Fuc*ing shit, I am not letting these trash die peacefully unless they have experienced what our little shen's mother has been through!" Cortel voiced her angry thoughts and felt a little sad that they didn't come sooner to get Ms. Shen out of her misfortune."Calm down ladies, and your priority is the safety of Ms. Shen so you three go along with Leader Shun and the rest of your members and secure her first. I will be watching from the shadows and will only help if you are in a pinch so don't expect too much from my side !" Erick said something which made them come out from
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Don't! Not that way, move from there!" Rodrick shouted when they were almost to the exit door and were about to go outside from the front door, and Rodrick sensed the danger, he warned Soren and others but it was already late as they were already in front of the front door."Bang…bang…bang!!" Suddenly the bullets came flying from the outside, Soren with four brothers who were in the front, hurriedly tried to dodge and hide behind the wall beside the door but still, a few bullets grazed their bodies."Ahhh!! Fuck*ing shits!!" Soren had weapons on him so his body got shielded by them but four others were hissing from the bullet holes in their hands and legs."Hey, are you all right!" Leader Shun and the rest lucked out as they were behind the five of them so they were safe, hearing others cry in pain Leader Shun asked in worry."Huff…huff!I am fine!!" "We are also fine, it's just a small issue!!"They hurriedly denied and shook their
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..Once Leader Shun and others were outside of Miami city, safe and sound. Erick snuck back into Miami city and went towards the Night and Day hotel.Leader Shun and others didn't have time to save those innocent children from their grasp. Erick thought about doing something for them and he was also pretty pissed at these scums whose bottom line is so shallow that they even sell their humanity on a silver platter if the price is right.Erick directly went to the second floor where he previously saw both Mr. Miris Alamin and Madam Vitch conversing together last time.He did find them but their appearance was worse than pigs, so he looked at them with disgust and wonder what kind of torture methods would be good for these scums.There were only two of them in the room and nobody else was there. Erick didn't bother to go talk shit with them and directly neck-chopped them to make them pass out.After that, he searched around the hotel and fo

Dolly Morald sounded shocked like he didn't understand what Sommer Silly said so he asked him to repeat what he said."Boss Dolly, Both Leaders are dead! Please give us your order for what we need to do!" Sommer Silly again repeated and asked what to do as the situation is already out of control, if not done something they would be destroyed from the inside."How this happened, give me all the details!" Dolly Morald asked in little confusion and anger.Even he did not expect that someone would go after their MOB organisation's underling.Sommer Silly explained how the situation progressed which led to this outcome, mostly it was his hypothesis."You mean to say that only ten or so people came into your turf and made a mess but you weren't even able to resist them. Even more so your leaders ended up getting dead right after being held, hostage!!" Dolly Morald confirmed after hearing the explanation of Sommer S
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..A few minutes later, a woman dressed in a low skirt and white shirt came out carrying a file, and then she looked toward where Leader Shun and Rodrick were sitting."Are you Mr. Shun!" The lady who came near them asked while bowing a little."Ahh! Yes, I am!" Leader Shun nodded his head towards the lady who looked half his age so he guessed that maybe she was the secretary of the city leader."Please follow me inside Mr. Shun and this gentleman as Mr. Edward is waiting for you!" The lady sounded a little more respectful after she confirmed the identity with a gesture she invited them to the office."Ohh! Yes, let's go!!" Leader Shun stood up and followed the lady along with Rodrick into the office.Inside the office,A large oval table with four chairs around it and sitting in the center was an imposing middle-aged man not much different from Leader Shun in age or experience.The office wasn't that large but it was spacious enough for
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..The next day, Leader Shun and others started their plan. First, they stabilised a training facility and used their newfound fame to let everyone in the city get the news.To entice people to come to their training center and join it, they offered free training exercises and promised to make them stronger.As for recruiting just and like-minded people from the bunch, Erick offered an option to use an interview as a guise to find the real intent behind the person in joining their group.With the help of Erick, who set Archrune on a chair, finding the right person from the bunch of people became easy and in just a week, they recruited more than 50 people.'Rhamnusia' training center became bustling with people in just a week so the training also started in the same week.The basic body exercise which Erick previously made for Leader Shun and his group already became useless for them so he advised leader Shun to use this to train their ne

" Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..(Time Skip-3 Months later)"Today, we will let you all witness how we do the cleaning of these disgusting malice organisms so don't blink and make sure to keep a safe distance!" Leader Shun shouted while advancing towards a horde of orange slimes with the shape of amoeba-looking organisms.Following behind him were Cortel and others with their weapons in their hands. The group of 56 people wearing the same military dress stood opposite the leader Shun and others. Waited there with heated breaths while keeping their unblinking eyes towards the action of leader Shun and others were about to take."Move and shoot your heating bullets!" Leader Shun shouted and positioned his gun to fire toward the malice organisms from a certain distance so the acid-like slimy substances wouldn't fall over their bodies."Roger!!" Cortel and others replied and got in the position, ready to fire.The malice organisms sensing the human presence wiggled towa
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Erick-san, do you still have the mixer which you provided for us at the beginning of our training?" Leader Shun asked with slight hesitation, he knows how useful that herbal bath is when he experiences it himself.He thought if recruits also used it, then their strength would improve at a very fast rate.The stronger the group would be the better for them, as they would be able to take on higher or more dangerous organisms.He hesitated because Erick had provided them with everything without asking for anything in return from them and Leader Shun was aware of their situation and that they couldn't provide anything useful in return."Are you talking about herbal baths?" Erick asked as if confirming that they are talking about the same thing. "Hmmn! Yes, so do you have any!" Leader Shun nodded and asked again with some hope."Well, I don't think that I have any with me, why? Do you want to give it to others who joined recently!" Erick
............Aashi gently pried Yuyun from her embrace, whispering soothing words to the frightened child. "Alright Yuyun, let's go. We need to save those big sisters and brothers over there, okay?" She placed Yuyun on her back and quickly moved towards the cries.Erick and Aashi turned and sprinted towards the explosions. Aashi headed to where the injured were, while Erick ran towards the Malice Creatures attacking the elven guards.As Erick reached the first defense wall, he saw the extent of the destruction. The once strong barrier was now a smoldering ruin, and dark, twisted Malice Creatures were pouring through the breach."Boom... Boom... Ahhhh...!" The elves were fighting valiantly, but they were clearly outmatched. Their traditional weapons and combat techniques were ineffective against the Malice Creatures, which seemed impervious to normal attacks.Erick moved forward, energy leaking from his hands, blades of wind and fire shimmering with a strange, ethereal light. "Let's
............"Splash...!!""Whoa... how much energy did you put into that attack, Master?" Aashi asked in wonder, looking at the explosion and the water splashing over their shield."Not much, but enough to crush that annoying portal to bits," Erick replied, glancing down to ensure no traces of dark, foul energy remained. While the area was cleared, some fish-shaped Malice Creatures had been flung into the distance and were being erased slowly."Master, can you leave the rest to me?" Aashi asked, sensing her master's thoughts."Oh, okay. I'll take care of little Yuyun for you," Erick smiled and nodded before crouching down to pat the little girl on the head."He he... Big Brother!" Little Yuyun giggled, enjoying the affection."Okay then, watch how Big Sis handles those bad monsters!" Aashi said with a smile. She stepped onto the water's surface, running across it just like Erick, without causing any ripples."Boom... Bam...!!"Loud noises echoed as Aashi handled the Malice Creatures
............Aashi paused, listening intently. The sound came again, a weak cry. They immediately searched for the source and found what appeared to be the remains of a house, left in ruins after being devoured by the Malice Creatures. Beneath a pile of rubble, they lifted the debris and found a young girl, her body battered and bruised, but barely alive. Her eyes were shut, and her body quivered nonstop from all the pain.Erick immediately used his Origin arts to heal her and fed her a life-saving potion he carried in his storage. Before long, the little girl was cured, and her body returned to a healthy state, making Erick and Aashi sigh in relief.“It’s okay, you’re safe now,” Aashi said softly, lifting the girl gently.The girl coughed, opened her eyes, and whispered, “Thank you…”Erick knelt beside them, his expression softening. “You’re a brave one, aren’t you? Can you tell us if there are any others?” he asked, seeing the girl calming down.The girl shook her head weakly. “E
............“Oh, let me introduce my Master to you. He is the person who eliminated all the malice creatures in this area and the one who made me follow you guys.” Aashi smiled as she proudly introduced Erick to the kids and the Elder.The Elder and the children looked at Erick with awe and curiosity, their gratitude toward Aashi extending naturally to him.“Thank you, Master,” the Elder said, bowing deeply. “Your actions have saved our tribe's future.”Erick nodded, a small smile on his face. “I’m glad we could help. Your strength and resilience are admirable. Even though you lost so many of your tribesmen, you still didn't lose your will and continue to protect the children. It's commendable courage.”Aashi glanced at the children, noticing their worn clothes and tired expressions. “Do you have enough supplies and food? It looks like you’ve been struggling.”The Elder sighed. “We’ve been running low on food and we don’t even have a warm place to stay now. The malice creatures have
…………"This is not good; they are suffering from the bitter ice-cold!" The adult man observed them and realised they were suffering from an illness common among the tribe's people living in these cold plains.“I don’t have any medicine to cure them, damn it,” the man muttered, frustration evident in his voice as he watched their condition worsen.In normal times, he could easily help them with their cold, but now he couldn’t leave to search for medicine. Going out would be like signing his own death warrant if those creatures caught their scent.“What should I do? At this rate, these children won't be able to endure the cold and will succumb to it. No... no... I can't let that happen. These few children are all that's left of our ice tribe!” The elder felt a deep bitterness inside, trapped in a situation where every option seemed doomed.“Boom... Boom...!!”He heard loud noises and movement in the distance, and the tremors suggested that the Malice Creatures had picked up his trail.“
*******…………"Isn't this the east side, right?" Erick asked, feeling a little confused by the scene he was seeing.Erick and Aashi arrived after flying for hours, but they didn't see any forest there."Yes, it should be the east," Aashi nodded, having already calculated the direction when they flew here."So where is the forest that is supposed to be here, and what about the tribe residing here!" Erick muttered, looking at the distance with no forest or vegetation around, only the black, charcoal-like grounds were left."Master, I am sensing a foul stench from there!" Aashi's nose suddenly perked up, and she pointed in a certain direction, detecting an unusual foul scent."Hmm, this isn't supposed to be here!" Erick and Aashi flew in that direction and arrived there.It was a place that looked like a wrecked village or something, with a well made out of sand and mud mixed with blackish substances.Erick felt familiarity with the substances filling the well. After sending his energy d
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Thank you, Elder Ilona, for enlightening us. We are sincerely grateful for your invaluable assistance," Erick and Aashi expressed their gratitude with utmost respect, acknowledging the wisdom and guidance of the revered priestess.Elder Ilona, with a gentle shake of her head, dismissed any notion of inconvenience. A warm smile adorned her face as she conveyed her genuine pleasure in their company. "No, no trouble at all. In fact, I relish your presence. Do pay me another visit in the future," she suggested, her eyes gleaming with joy at the prospect of their return.Erick and Aashi nodded appreciatively, bidding Elder Ilona a proper farewell as they took their leave. Their gestures conveyed their gratitude and respect for the priestess, who had graciously shared her knowledge with them.As they emerged from Elder Ilona's abode, Elder Ryfang awaited their return, a patient figure in the fading light. His curiosity piqued, he inquired
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Welcome, young ones," she spoke in a voice that was both soft and melodic. "I have been expecting you."Erick and Aashi exchanged greetings before settling onto the cushions that had been laid out for them. The woman before them exuded a sense of accomplishment, as though she had achieved great things in her life and had the love and respect of nature itself."Thank you, Elder, for having us," Erick said, his voice full of gratitude and admiration.The Elder smiled warmly at the two guests before her. "So, what would you like to hear first? I will do my best to answer all of your queries, but first, let me introduce myself."Ilona, the guardian of the small wolf tribe and priestess who oversaw the ceremonies held in the clearing, introduced herself with grace and poise. Her name carried weight and respect, and Erick and Aashi felt a pleasant warmth to be in her presence."I am Erick Dahl, and this is my companion, Aashi," Erick intro
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."It's….it's alright!" Chieftain hurriedly replied while hiding his fear and reverence coming from his heart."Ahem, let me introduce you, Chief Ulric, this young man is Master Erick Dahl and she is his companion, Madame Aashi. And you both already know our chief Ulric name and she is the mate of Chief Ulric, Madame Ayla." Elder Ryfang tried hard to ignore the earlier what he felt and maintained his usual smile while he introduced each other, Erick and Aashi to His chief and Madame Ayla.Erick and Aashi observed the now standing Chief Ulric and Madame Ayla in front of them.Chief Ulric is a tall, muscular man with a commanding presence. He has broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline, and his piercing blue eyes seem to see straight through to a person's soul. His hair is a deep shade of brown and falls in unruly waves to his shoulders, and his beard is thick and well-groomed. Ulric also has wolf-like features, including pointed ears and
