******** ….. ….. " " Speech, ' ' Thoughts, ….. ….. One day back, After Auris informed his third brother-in-law that they had got go ahead from their father towards the NHC people. "Alright, brother Auris! I will take care of this matter as soon as I can!" Third brother-in-law replied in a jubilant expression. "Hmmm, be careful brother Kashin!" After bidding his farewell, Kashin Turran left along with his trusted subordinates towards the NHC headquarter, Heart of Hoshimi city, the capital. With a renewed sense of purpose, Kashin Turran set out at the head of the troop, a small army of 50 highly-trained warriors. He was determined to accomplish the mission entrusted to him by his Father: to destroy the people from NHC who have become a threat towards their citigen and themselves. The sun beat down on their backs as they marched through the bustling city, leaving the outskirts of Roya and heading towards the NHC headquarters which is situated in the capital, Hoshimi city. T
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..Later Evening on the same day, Erick Dahl scrutinized his men, who stood in unison before him, all ready for the task ahead."I want to be certain that you understand the goal," he spoke, his voice stern yet assertive. "Are you clear on who we're targeting?"The answer came in unison, each man's gaze determined and resolute."Yes, Sir!" they replied, their voices reverberating with conviction. Erick nodded in approval, and before he led the way to the Capital city, Hoshimi. Erick took out a large map of the city and highlighted five different routes.Erick pointed to the city map procured from the manager Nellore, outlining their route of entry. He specified which directions Leader Shun and the other four should take, so as to avoid raising any suspicion and swiftly reach the NHC headquarters.“Leader Shun, you and ten of your men take this route after entering the city, and Merial, Monan, Cortel, and Rodrick will be taking this, thi

Commented Erick Dahl after knocking down yet another group of thugs.As he trudged through the decaying streets, Erick Dahl couldn't help but notice how pervasive the stench of filth was. Every corner seemed to hold another group of degenerates, each more despicable than the last. He had already dispatched nearly twenty such groups of scums today alone, and the weight of the city's depravity was beginning to make him want to just destroy this whole thing.But despite the overwhelming darkness that seemed to permeate everything, Erick didn't let it bother him.As he saved a young child and her mother from the clutches of a group of merciless criminals, he felt a sense of righteous anger rising within him. These thugs thought they could use their bravery to prey on the weak and feeble, but Erick was not about to let them
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Ahhh…!""Band…booomn…thud…bang…Ahhh!"The sound of violent clashes echoed throughout the NHC building, a discordant symphony of grunts and thuds punctuated by the occasional moan of pain. Up on the upper floors, a small group of fighters, led by a man named Shun, were engaged in a fierce battle with a horde of soulless humans."Erick-san, leave them to us and go ahead!" Shun called out, his eyes fixed on the zombie-like figures that continued to rise, even after being beaten mercilessly."Hmm, you should be careful of them. These people aren't themselves anymore. Send them on their merry way," Erick replied, observing the soulless people as they moved with puppet-like motions. It was as if their bodies were being controlled by strings, with no semblance of themselves inside.Shun and the others nodded, grateful for the advice. They too had felt that something was off about these creatures, but they couldn't quite put their finger on
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Ahahhh! Nooooooo….!!""Noooo…!! Please…please, I beg of you, please, let me live! Ahhhhh…noooo!"The screams of agony echoed through the underground lab as the twisted scientists begged for mercy. Erick Dahl remained unmoved, delivering blows that left his victims writhing in pain. Some lasted longer than others, but all eventually succumbed to their injuries."You were the mastermind behind this vile operation," Erick spoke in a chilling voice, surveying the macabre scene with disgust. The stench of decay hung heavily in the air, intermingled with the lingering aura of anger and resentment.The chief perpetrator lay writhing on the floor, his chest heaving in agony as Erick applied pressure to his broken body. "Gawhhh!" he gurgled, his jaw already shattered from the earlier blows."Purus!"Without a hint of remorse, Erick channeled a white, holy radiance that spread throughout the lab, purging it of the malevolent energies that had
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..Somewhere at the sea coastline of only safe continent,Captain Ronin led his team to the coastline, unsure of what they might find. The Bank had offered them an exorbitant sum to complete this task, but something felt off about the situation. As they arrived, a bespectacled woman named Shalina questioned the captain's decision."Why are we here again, and why did The Bank issue such a weird task while offering so much for it?" she asked, confusion etched on her face."Shalina, you know that The Bank never offers a deal that it would suffer from, so we need to be on our guard. We don't know what kind of danger we might face," Captain Ronin replied, his expression thoughtful as he surveyed the area.Shalina merely shrugged, not taking her captain's words seriously. Meanwhile, a man with a burly figure and large muscles named Morsel grumbled about the team wasting their time on this task."If it weren't for the money, I would have disagr
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..As the leader of the mission, Shun surveyed the area, his eyes scanning the landscape for any remaining signs of malice organisms. With a swift slash of his sword, he dispatched a tree-like structure that resembled one of the vile creatures, his movements fluid and precise.Rodrick, who had been working diligently on his side of the cleanup effort, spoke up over the walkie-talkie. "Leader Shun, how's it going on your end? Are you finished yet?""Not quite," Shun replied calmly, "but I'm almost done here. How about Cortel and the others?""We've finished our section and we're ready to move on to the next location," came the simultaneous response from the other team members.Suddenly, Cortel remembered something important. "Wait a minute, who's guarding our turf back home? Did we forget to assign someone?""Ahh! Right, Hey, any idea, who could it be as Erick-sama never forgets to put someone incharge of the safety of new turf!" Monan al
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Erick-san, we're all good here. Do we need to clean up this mess too?" Leader Shun inquired as Erick tended to their injuries with his natural healing abilities and some medicinal herbs he had gathered on the way. The Ronin Cromwell group was recovering well under his care."Hmm, yes, we should tidy up this place. And if we have time later, it could be a great spot for training. The ferocious creatures in the water would make for perfect sparring partners to sharpen their danger senses," Erick replied, contemplating the possibilities."Got it. I'll see if we can speed things up a bit," Leader Shun nodded and left to give instructions to the others. Erick focused his attention on healing the remaining members of the Ronin Cromwell group."Thank you, Erick-san. You have our deepest gratitude," Ronin Cromwell expressed his appreciation, feeling responsible for putting his team in danger. He knelt down to show his respect and gratitude f
