“Nooooo! Leader Shun, watch out!” Monan and Cortel both women shouted to warn Leader Shun of the incoming danger and ran in front of him to defend him from the tendrils approaching from different sides at the same time.

“Bammmmm!” “Thuddd!”

.....

“Ahhhhhh!!” Both women screamed taking the hit, if not for the arm guard protecting their hands then they might have broken bones in place of slightly injured hands by now.

“Cough...cough, ptttf...!!” Both of them flew after taking the four or five tendrils head-on and thrown down against the debris at a little distance. Coughing and throwing blood from their mouth both groaned feeling hurt on the back and front.

“Swiiish!” “Raaaaaa!”

“Monan-san and Cortel-san, are you both alright!” Leader Shun hurriedly cut the tendrils and back away from the range of attack and went to the side of Monan and Cortel, he asked as he can only see the slight cut and bruise from the outside but not the inside injuries.

Chowan, Soren and Rodic with Leader Shun were only left in a group who could still move but barely as the exhaustion had started to catch up to them.

This also made their movements sluggish and so they missed slight attacks to dodge, making injuries in their bodies keep piling up.

At the last, only leader Shun was left standing with his sheer will alone, but in front of him, there was more than one malice organism, who was surrounding him.

“Well, looks like it’s time for me to make a cool entrance and earn some gratitude from them!” Erick muttered looking at the scene from a short distance away from them from the high viewpoint

Until now, Erick didn’t interfere with the fight because he wanted to make sure these people would be grateful and have some respect for him after saving them and not suspicion towards him.

He had read enough novels in his previous life to know what happens in these types of situations. People sometimes take it the wrong way even if the person who saved them has no intention but for the other side will still feel suspicion towards him.

Erick felt he needed such drama so that is why he waited for the right opportunity to show himself to them. Once he has their trust in him then the later part of the plan would be much easier.

“Leader Shun, you should leave us alone and run away from here. We can at least buy some time for you to escape, otherwise, nobody will be left alive from our group to notify our families!” Chowan and Soren, both men shouted toward Leader Shun and tried to persuade him to leave them here and run away.

“No...no! How can I escape alone and leave you all to die here!” Leader Shun denied to them that he won’t leave them here to die and he also didn’t dare to face their family after abandoning them here.

Erick admired them for upholding their beliefs even when they knew that they didn’t have a chance to escape from death.

Even more so for Leader Shun as at least, he can move and possibly escape using his fellow group members as bait but he has a sense of responsibility and determination to protect them as long as he can stand in front of them.

“Hoho! Their characters are not bad and with that, they have passed my criteria so now I have decided to nurture them into future leaders of this world!” Erick smiled approvingly looking at them and decided that this is a good opportunity to show himself in front of them. If he didn’t save them now, the chances of their death are guaranteed as they are surrounded by hungry-looking malice organisms.

Erick didn’t know that his decision today would bring a massive change shortly all over the world.

......

Back on Earth,

In an abandoned building near the suburb area of the city, in Atami.

“No, don’t come near me, Ahhhhhh!”

“No....nooooo, Ahhh!”

The building was littered with many men lying around with cuts and broken bones with foam coming out of their mouths.

“Please forgive me, I didn’t know who you were so please be magnanimous and forgive this insignificant trash!!!” A man with a scar on his left cheek with multiple accessories on his body looked like a hoodlum boss was begging a lady with his head touching the ground.

“Huh! Shouldn’t you have thought about it before you decided to mess around with us!” The lady gave a chilling glare and looked at the hoodlum boss on the floor begging for mercy with utmost contempt like she was looking at a piece of garbage.

The hoodlum’s body shivered from the lady’s gaze, he didn’t have the guts to lift his head from the floor in fear of further angering the devil lady.

“From the looks of it, you haven’t come after my company employees for fun, have you? So who was it that ordered you to do it?” The lady asked, making him more terrified of being able to see through him. He thought that he would get away with some beating but it looks like he is not getting unscathed today.

Just as he was about to make some excuse to buy some time for himself and hoping that his backer would do something about the lady in front of him but hearing a familiar man’s voice he lost the will and almost gave up hearing the words the man said to the lady.

“Boss, everyone has been captured and we made sure that no one was able to escape from us. Also, Boss, we were able to find the person who ordered this trash to attack us, but we don’t have any means to locate him and it looks like the guy is very professional in espionage and infiltration. Unless we have an exact location, finding him would be hard!” The man reported his deeds and findings.

“Hmmn! Good work, Old Ren! You can retire for now and also take this guy and throw him in the Osaka bay!” The lady nodded and didn’t mind about the mastermind getting away from her hand and she complimented old ren for his hard work and gave the instruction on what to do with the hoodlum boss then she walk away from there not caring about the cry of the hoodlum who was begging for mercy reportedly.

“As you wish, Boss!” Old Ren bowed toward the retreating Lady Boss with the utmost respect.

“Now then, How do you want to become food for a school of fish?” Once the Lady Boss was out of sight, he stood straight and came over to the hoodlum boss with a menacing grin then he asked him as a joke but the hoodlum boss almost peed in his pants.
