With the mission underway, the two groups set sail towards their respective destinations. Leader Shun, Soren, and Rodrick led the 2000 men towards the central continent, while Cortel, Monan, and Merial led the 2000 soldiers towards the neighbouring continent. Erick Dahl’s expertise in dealing with high-tier malice organisms proved to be valuable, as he assisted the group whenever needed.

During the mission, Erick Dahl crossed paths with Karen Makani, the granddaughter of the maker of the defective serum. When Erick handed Karen her grandfather’s old book, memories of her mother’s death in a horde attack came flooding back. But Erick’s willingness to help, as a gesture of gratitude towards Karen’s grandfather, gave her hope. After discovering Karen’s knowledge on the subject, Erick offered her a deal to improve and mass-produce the serum.

.....

Karen readily accepted the offer, determined to fulfil her grandfather’s last wish. With modern equipment provided by Erick, she set to work, tirelessly working on the project. Using her knowledge and the sounding words, she focused on improving the serum to make it more effective and efficient.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, but Karen persevered. She worked tirelessly, experimenting with various formulas, testing each sample, and documenting her progress. After many trials and errors, Karen finally succeeded in replicating the complete serum and improving it beyond her grandfather’s original version.

Erick was thrilled with Karen’s success and praised her for her hard work and dedication. With the serum now perfected and mass-produced, the mission’s success was ensured, and the lives of many soldiers would be saved.

Karen was ecstatic, knowing that she had fulfilled her grandfather’s last wish and had made a significant contribution to the mission’s success. She knew that her mother would be proud of her, and she was grateful for the opportunity given to her by Erick.

With the serum now in the hands of the soldiers, the mission continued as planned. The two groups landed on their respective continents, and the soldiers marched forward, prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead. But they marched with renewed confidence, knowing that they were now equipped with the most advanced serum, thanks to the hard work of Karen Makani and the help of Erick Dahl.

…...

Two months after the expedition commenced, hope began to blossom for the dwindling human population. Positive news trickled in from both continents, indicating that they had made significant progress in wrestling back their territory from the malicious organisms. The announcement caused a commotion among the last remaining humans on the planet, sparking a renewed sense of optimism. Maybe, just maybe, they could reclaim their land from the clutches of their aggressors.

Taking advantage of the favourable outcome, Karen hastily manufactured another batch of two thousand serums, which were immediately administered to the third cohort of soldiers from the esteemed Rhamnusia Organisation. With the help of Erick, Karen ensured that the serum distribution process was efficient and swift.

Following the serum administration, the soldiers were promptly dispatched to the central continents, where they would serve as a vital support system for Leader Shun and his team. As they made their journey, the soldiers brimmed with renewed vigour and a sense of purpose, buoyed by the hope of reclaiming what was rightfully theirs.

Over the course of two long and arduous months, the ranks of the expeditionary force had swollen to an impressive ten thousand soldiers. The progress of their campaign against the malice organisms exceeded all expectations, with the reclamation of land proceeding at a pace that surprised even the most optimistic of observers.

It was during these months of fierce and unrelenting combat that more than two thousand of the soldiers underwent a profound transformation, becoming Martial Practitioners in their own right. With each passing day, the force grew stronger and more formidable, ready to take on any challenge that the malicious creatures might throw their way.

At the forefront of this charge stood the intrepid Leader Shun, who had finally surmounted the final obstacle in his path and ascended to the lofty heights of the 3-star Level 3. Meanwhile, his trusted companions – Soren, Rodrick, Monan, Merial, and Cortel – had made their own remarkable leaps forward, vaulting directly to Star 4 level 2 as Master Practitioners.

Their newfound mastery of the martial arts enabled them to engage high-tier malice organisms in direct combat, emerging victorious time and time again despite sustaining only minor injuries – injuries that their potent vitality quickly healed. Together, this brave and unstoppable force stood ready to face whatever challenges the world might throw their way.

…..

Erick stood atop a crumbling cliff, gazing out at the battlefield spread out before him. He knew that in times of war, the smallest details could make all the difference between victory and defeat. That’s why he turned to his companions, asking if they had noticed anything amiss about their opponents.

Leader Shun shook his head, unable to recall any notable changes in the enemy’s behaviour. It was Rodrick, ever the keen observer, who spoke up next. He had noticed a shift in the malice organisms’ tactics since he and Soren had taken down five of their larger creatures the previous day.

“They seem to have become more cautious,” Rodrick reported, his wise eyes gleaming with insight. “They haven’t attacked us directly since then, and have only sent smaller fry to test our strength. How much longer can we hold out against them?”

Erick had asked the question in part to ensure that his companions were not becoming complacent in the face of their recent victories. He was all too aware of the changes occurring on the planet’s surface – changes that seemed to be emanating from beyond this world.

The controlled behaviour of some of the malice organisms suggested to Erick that they were being influenced by an outside force – an entity that was not of this world. His suspicions were not unfounded. For on the fringes of their solar system, a massive cluster of mother malice organisms had arrived, sending out a signal to its minions on the planet below, beckoning them to prepare for its arrival.

As the signal from the cluster of mother malice organisms grew stronger, a sense of foreboding settled over Erick and his companions. What horrors lay in store for their planet now that this behemoth had descended upon it?
