********…..….." " 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
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..Miami City,Lofief Bar,Music booming like always and ladies danced pole dance, showing off their bosoms and bottoms.After the Night and Day Hotel got destroyed by the fight and their leaders died a few months back, the Lofief Bar on both sides of the city became crowded with people all of sudden.The twin brothers became very happy because of it, the number of customers they received increased twice the amount from before, and so did the income they earned.More importantly, the information that they can gather is much better and more efficient with so many people in the bar. The main income source for the twin is information gathering and selling.In the private room away from the noise, one of the twins was serving a VIP customer personally."How did Lord Mauli come to this lowly person's place?" Twin asked, showing his white teeth while pouring Lord Mauli's wine into the glass."Ohh, please! Veller Cherry, don't try that facade i
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Well, that's where my proposal comes from. If you help me find out who is responsible for that whole mess and if said person is related to that group or not. While you are at it, you can also observe the group and pick a successor for your position which I am pretty sure you haven't found anyone yet!" Mauli Railem expressed his proposal while giving him a profound gaze as if he was telling him that he had found his weak spot.Veller Cherry made a sour face as being found out by your arch-enemy of the past isn't a pleasant thing. "Ho! Your deal is pretty interesting, and how you can be so sure that I can find my successor in that group of people!" Veller Cherry said with a look of interest while thinking inside that he should also be informing his brother about this matter."Well, I can't explain in words and when you see them with your own eyes then you will understand why that is!" Mauli Railem said with a mysterious smile, making
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Hmmn!" Aashi hummed in response and clung into a tight hug and was reluctant to leave Erick's warm embrace.As Aashi had to go back to her office, she felt reluctant to part with him, even more so when she was having so much fun with him after they opened up to each other."I will see you later! And remember to prepare those items which I asked you before." Erick said and reminded her before Aashi left for work.Erick went to his parent's restaurant to see how they were doing, he also had to meet those milf onee-sans later.…..At the Ikigai Restaurant,"Hello, Young Master! Boss and Madam are in the private area." Just as he reached the entrance of the hotel which looked a lot more different, three stories high with a beautiful appearance and light reflected by diamond-like glasses all over, from the front side.Erick was greeted by the guards standing at the entrance, who knew him well and one of the guards also told him where he c
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..Erick felt helpless and looked at his mother who was smiling with a frying pan in one hand and knife in another hand, making him gulp unconsciously."Okay…okay! I will eat it, but don't you think that you should introduce someone to me or me to them!" Erick felt that they were already full so an extra portion was put on his plate to finish the rest of the food. He helplessly nodded and pointed opposite to himself while stating the obvious which they forgot to do."Ohh! Hahaha! Sorry about that, let me do the introduction. This is Mr. Katsutoshi Kirin and his daughter Yamini Kirin, and this brat is our son, Erick Dahl' !" Erick's father laughed and apologised to Mr. Kirin and his daughter then he introduced them to Erick and him to them respectively."Hello, Mr. Kirin and Ms. Yamini, can I call you that, so as not to confuse you with your father!" Erick greeted them while asking Ms. Yamini for permission to use her first name when addr
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..I felt a little relieved after both of them left me alone, as the door wasn't closed completely so I could make out what they were talking about."Brother Mu, that guy was telling the truth, look at the screen. I already confirmed from the database provided by the local officers that this guy is an innocent person who never harmed anyone!" I can hear the short man explaining to them about my identity which they found by the local police department when I heard that these guys also had connections with the police and that they even provided their database for these guys' personal use.I felt genuinely afraid and slight regret for taking this job, but when I thought about why I even took this job, I felt helpless. "What was your name again, Mr…Mr. Varnell Wellens!" Again two men came inside the room where they kept me tied to the chair and one of them, who is called brother Mu by the other person, looked at me while comparing my face w
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Phew! What a hectic day, I almost lost control of myself!" Erick took deep breaths and calmed his raging hormones while muttering to himself.Erick didn't have much problem controlling his hormones or emotions before but now he often gets hard just by looking at their mesmerising figures."Dear, come down for dinner!" Mother's voice came from below making Erick shake his head from useless thoughts and ran downstairs to have dinner with his parents.Halfway through the dinner, Aashi also came back from her office, and then all four of them ate together while having a small talk in between. After that Erick went to his room and lay down on his bed.Imagining some unhealthy fantasies, Erick fell asleep."Creak!"The door of Erick's room slowly opened and Aashi came inside without making noise."Hehehe! Master, how handsome and charming your sleeping face looks, I feel like tasting those yummy lips!" Aashi lay beside Erick and admired hi
............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
