“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 for saving his comrades from becoming prey.

Erick let out a sigh, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the excessive gratitude. “It’s no problem, Cromwell-san. You don’t need to kneel every time. Please help me tend to your team so we can get everyone back on their feet.”

With Ronin Cromwell’s assistance, Erick treated the injured members, and they soon started to regain consciousness. After some explanation and emotional reassurance, the group calmed down from the traumatic experience they had just faced.

Leader Shun and his team of 500 men worked tirelessly to clean up the seashore, with the help of Erick and his expertise. The sight of blood and useless carcasses littered across the beach was a gruesome one, but they persevered nonetheless.

Erick advised Ronin Cromwell, the leader of a separate team, to return to the nearest city and spread the word that the area was safe for a brief period. To ensure that no accidents occurred, Erick ordered that no one should wander too close to the shore, and to station a few strong individuals to keep watch from a distance.

Once Ronin Cromwell and his 30 men had departed, Erick turned his attention back to the task at hand. He instructed Leader Shun and his team to gather any useful-looking carcasses for research purposes, but to dispose of the rest.

With the seashore now free from danger, Leader Shun and his men packed up and prepared to move on to the next area. The team felt a sense of relief, knowing that they had accomplished something important today.

…….

As time passed, the Rhamnusia Forefront line had grown in size from a mere 600 soldiers to a formidable team of 1800 men. Their tireless efforts had paid off, as they had managed to clear a significant portion of the continent from the looming threat of malice organisms.

The support of the Turram family had been instrumental in the rebuilding of the once-abandoned cities and towns. The family had taken it upon themselves to ensure that the citizens remained calm and composed, preventing any signs of unrest from creeping in.

With the malice organisms no longer posing a grave threat to their world, the atmosphere on the continent had transformed from one of despair to one of hope. The Rhamnusia group, comprising of six valiant leaders, had become the epitome of humanity’s greatest heroes, praised and revered by all.

Erick, basking in the newfound admiration and appreciation, decided to reward the Turram family for their unwavering support by gifting them 100 diluted samples. He had formulated a plan to boost the morale of the common people by freeing them of any fear of the malice organisms, empowering them to fight against the creatures should the need arise.

Five academies were set up to teach people how to fend off the malice organisms effectively and how to strengthen themselves against their attacks. These academies were essential in imparting the necessary knowledge and skills to people so that they could protect themselves and their loved ones from the malicious creatures.

As the lower version of the Ancient Warmonger Bahamut’s Exercise spread like wildfire, more and more people flocked to the five academies to learn the powerful technique. The rapid increase in strength that came with mastering the exercise was simply too enticing to resist. And with its easy-to-understand instructions, even the average person could follow along.

It wasn’t long before the total population of the world had increased by at least 10%, thanks to the efforts of Erick and his team. Their hard work had paid off, and they had succeeded in stabilizing a World Council Union, with ten individuals at the helm.

Among these leaders were the Turran Family heads, Harrison and Auris, as well as Leader Shun, Cortel, Monan, Merial, Rodrick, and Soren. The last two seats on the council remained empty, reserved for outstanding individuals who would be nominated in the future.

Miami City emerged as a center of world power, with the Rhamnusia Organisation establishing its own base of operations there. And with the incorporation of the government system from Erick’s world, the newly-formed council was well-equipped to handle the challenges ahead.

……

Somewhere on the north side of the border,

“Bamm!” “Creeeak!”

As the battered vessel made its way into port, the sound of creaking and groaning could be heard all around. The ship’s hull was riddled with tears and cracks, and the deck was littered with debris from a perilous journey across the sea.

Emerging from the shattered interior of the ship were a group of bedraggled survivors. Each one of them bore the physical and emotional scars of a harrowing ordeal, and as they stumbled onto the shore, their pain and exhaustion were palpable.

One man, in particular, let out a string of expletives as he emerged from the wreckage. His leg was injured, and he held onto it tightly with one hand, his curses ringing out into the salty air.

But his outburst was quickly silenced by a woman with a raspy voice. “Shut your trap, you piece of shit,” she spat. “If not for your greed, we wouldn’t have had to endure this nightmare.”

As the survivors gathered on the shore, a figure in a pristine lab coat and white gloves stood out from the rest. Despite the blood seeping from a gash on her hand, she radiated a sense of calm authority that was immediately apparent.

“It is thanks to my connections that we were able to secure passage on this ship,” she declared, her voice steady and resolute. “Without me, we would surely have fallen prey to those vile creatures that have destroyed our continent.”

With those words, the survivors huddled together, grateful to be alive but uncertain of what lay ahead. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore echoed in their ears as they contemplated the future and the horrors that had brought them to this point.
