............“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

............"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

............The Grand Elder looked thoughtful and then nodded. "We are grateful for your help. Please let us know if there is anything you need." The elder Ramona bowed slightly, his curiosity about Aashi's master growing. The Grand Elder smiled at little Yuyun, who was also helping her tribesmen. "Can you look after little Yuyun? I will go assist my master; otherwise, your people's casualties will keep on increasing," Aashi said as she gestured toward Yuyun, who was nearby helping an old man drink water. "Hmm... please leave little Yuyun in our care. I will personally look after her, so please help our tribesmen!" The Grand Elder nodded, looking at Yuyun, and bowed in gratitude toward Aashi as she requested. "Alright." Aashi smiled lightly at her before gesturing for little Yuyun to come near her. "Little Yuyun, be a good girl and don't leave that pretty elder's side while I am away helping these people, okay?" Aashi sat down and patted her head as she spoke in a soft ton

............"Chaotic Swirling Blade!" Aashi shouted, her hands glowing as they formed the same chaotic amalgamation of a blade as Erick’s. "Swiiish... Baaaammnn...!" The Beast’s claws slammed into Erick’s barrier of energy, causing ripples to spread through the void like shattered glass. Erick pushed back with a burst of power, sending the creature staggering. "Now!" Erick commanded. "On it!" Aashi yelled, darting to the side with lightning-quick speed. She spun mid-air, coordinating with her Master, and both thrust forward together from both sides, pinning the Mist Void Beast between them. "Slaaashh..." "Graaaaahhhhh..!!" The blade struck the Mist Void Beast on both sides, slicing through its dark mist and eliciting a furious roar. The creature turned its glowing red eyes toward them, fury emanating from its very core. "GRRRRAAAHHH!!" The Beast retaliated, opening its maw to release a surge of void energy. Aashi and Erick dodged just in time, the energy narrowly m

............"We bought ourselves time… but I don't think that entity will stop its pursuit of us... We need to leave fast," Erick muttered weakly, his gaze dark as if sensing a foreboding. Aashi tightened her grip on him, her voice trembling. "Then we should really leave from here." "But... as you can see, I don’t have the energy to perform escape dimension travel...!" Erick reminded her of another dire situation they were in. "What should we do then, Master?" Aashi asked with a flustered expression, knowing she was also unable to do that."Booommn...!!" "Ohhh... no!" Another loud booming noise sounded, making Erick and Aashi exclaim in startled expressions. Fear gripped them, but before the entity could reach them, the amulet Aashi was keeping in her pocket came out and floated in front of them before shining brightly. "Isn’t this...!!" Aashi widened her eyes as she recognized it. Before she could say anything or the massive shadowy hand could reach them, the amulet activ
