You have completed the fourth stage awakening of the spear Dawn, but the flaming greatsword in your hand is still in the second stage.
This sword was born from the anger you felt when you saw your father being injured by the Dark Devouring Beast, as well as the courage and determination to face the darkness.
Next, you'll need to explore how to purify your emotions, allowing your mental fortitude to reach the third stage, and what emotions to collect to advance to the fourth stage.
The recapture of the abandoned settlement is still proceeding in an orderly manner. During this period, some members of the expedition team have become full-time construction workers, digging earth and rocks in the cave area to block the passage.
Incidentally, they also need to thoroughly investigate the ruins, inside and out, to prevent any Dark Devouring Beasts from escaping.
You heard from Vilia that the work there is progressing quickly, and the treatment of the abandoned settlement is expected to be completed within two months.
During this time, you participated in the settlement celebration prepared by Smith. The settlement's highest administrator first informed everyone of the good news three days in advance, and also listed the members of the expedition team who had sacrificed themselves because of the Dark Eclipse Beast.
“William, Pera, Levy, Zolson… each of them was a brave warrior, and each of them deserves to be remembered.”
Although these soldiers have died, they gave their lives for our settlement and for everyone's tomorrow.
To everyone gathered here, let us take a minute to close our eyes, remain silent, and pray and observe a moment of silence for these heroes.
In a world where souls find peace, may they be free from the torment of darkness and hear our voices.
The remains that were purified by Evan have been cremated into ashes, and the urns have been handed over to the families of each soldier.
Smith promised that the families of these fallen soldiers would receive generous treatment, and their children could choose to inherit their positions or freely choose other professions, with the settlement offering relatively simple entry tests.
Immediately following was a celebration, a feast to ease the sorrow and to boost morale with their victory.
During the celebration, Smith pulls you onto the stage and tells everyone in the room that you are the biggest contributor to the operation.
Amidst the cheers, shouts, and blessings of the crowd, Smith also told you that he was considering making you a reserve administrator for the settlement, so that you could take over his position should he ever die.
"Isn't this all too sudden? I'm still just a minor."
You seem somewhat surprised by this. Smith also paused for a moment before preparing to answer your question.
"Your Excellency Evan, you have created miracles more than once. To be honest, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have forgotten your age."
Of course, that's not important. What's most important is that I see hope for humanity in you.
Your talent, your strength and wisdom, and the charisma you unconsciously displayed during that campaign, make me believe that you have the potential to be the one to change our destiny.
You might think I'm joking, but I'm serious. I have a feeling...
Smith's statement was somewhat ambiguous; he seemed to have something left unsaid, but didn't continue.
