Apocalypse Regression's

Options Without a Way Back

The black shadow rotated in the air then fell piercing the ground right in front of Saito.

Saito and Nami saw a sword thrust right in front of them. The sword looked quite simple, but it was quite refined and elegant. Not only does it show beauty, but it also gives a terrible feeling. Obviously ... This sword has been used to kill not just one, but many enemies!

Just then, Ark's voice that had regained its calm and boredom was once again heard.

"Don't tell me I didn't give you a chance. It was a good sword, it could definitely cut through the skin of the creatures that surrounded you.

If you still can't stand on your own feet then fight ...

You better shut up and die."

Hearing Ark's words, Saito lowered his head. He lowered Nami then advanced and grabbed the sword hilt, then pulled it out.

"DON'T KIDDING ME! ME ... WON'T LET NAMI DIE FOR MY CARELESSNESS!"

Holding the sword with both hands, Saito stared at the three hyenas surrounding him. As cunning creatures, the three of them did not directly attack. Instead, they are waiting for an opportunity.

Saito felt a hyena gaze directed at Nami. This immediately made his expression worse.

"You can calm down, Saito."

The injured Nami forced herself to stand up. Pulling the poorly manicured sword out of its sheath, he mounted the horses to fight.

"Nami, you—"

"After you get out of here, you have to take responsibility. You must marry me!"

"Eh???"

Saito looked surprised. He looked towards Nami who was smiling towards him. It looked so beautiful to the point that the man's heart was pounding. Saito's expression turned stern as he said.

"YES!"

Looking towards the two, Ark who was watching raised the corner of his lips. No one really knew what he was thinking.

Saito stared at the three hyenas who looked cautious. He knew that if he waited too long, he and Nami would be at a disadvantage because stamina was consumed a lot. Not to mention Nami's condition was clearly not suitable to last longer.

"Now!"

Seeing the opportunity, Saito immediately shot forward. His right hand held the sword tightly. But just a few meters forward, he immediately turned around.

Seeing the two hyenas rushing towards Nami as he expected, the corner of the man's lips lifted.

Saito did deliberately advance to lure the other hyenas to attack!

Swooshes!

The sword swung rapidly, instantly aiming at the hyena's neck.

A slash!

"Eh?"

Saito saw the hyenas retreat when he received his attack. He had obviously cut through with all his might. But the man was surprised when he saw a not-so-deep scar on the hyena's neck.

The little trick Saito did was good, Ark even praised him a little. But the man forgot one important thing, which was ...

His enemy is not an ordinary animal just like in times of peace!

Hyena looked at the two of them with an angry look and looked greedy. All three growling. Saliva dripped onto the ground, seemingly unable to bear it anymore to start hunting.

Knowing that the two figures in front of them were not so strong, the three hyenas finally did not hold back anymore!

The three darted forward, directly attacking Saito and Nami with their claws and fangs!

Swooshes!

The sword in Saito's hand swung, instantly aiming at the eyes of one of the hyenas. It's just that, because the hyenas are faster, Saito's attack doesn't hit him.

Bruaks!

Avoiding the hyena bite, Saito grabs Nami's body. They were both hit hard. Make them both roll on the ground.

Just then, Saito's expression changed. Looking at Nami who seemed to be getting weaker with a body full of blood then towards the three hyenas that surrounded them with ferocious expressions, the man felt angry.

Saito continued to attack and defend. Trying to kill the opponent while guarding Nami. It's just, things aren't going well.

If Saito chooses to escape, he might succeed. But fighting and killing hyenas is almost impossible. Not to mention he has to look after Nami.

Fifteen minutes passed.

'Why?'

The question came to Saito's mind. He looked at the three hyenas with a hateful look. Feeling angry, but also desperate.

The bodies of the three hyenas were full of wounds, but there were no fatal wounds. There were only minor cuts, scratches that had stopped bleeding.

Instead, Saito's body was full of cuts and bruises. Not to mention, he was clearly poisoned. No longer able to stand firm, the man still gritted his teeth while tightly gripping the sword in his hand.

"Rome ... Saito's. Just leave me alone."

"..."

"NO! EVEN IF I HAD TO DIE, I WOULD STILL BE BY YOUR SIDE!"

Saito turned his head towards Nami with a wry smile on his face. The man again said.

"Don't you say I have to take responsibility for you?"

"..."

Hearing Saito's words, tears flowed down Nami's face. The woman was truly feeling sad and hopeless.

Uhuk! Uhuk!

Saito fell to his knees. The man spewed out some mouthfuls of blood. His expression looked so pale. Really feel helpless.

The higher the expectations, the more disappointed when it fails. That is something ordinary.

Saito is a genius. He also considers himself a genius in kendo. After obtaining a good sword, the man thought that he could win. Even think of living a decent life in the future, having a lover, building a family, and having cute children.

It's just that things didn't go according to his plan.

The enemy he was fighting had unreasonable strength, speed, and defense. Not only the hyena, the man also remembered the zombies, the crow, and some other mutated beasts. Not to mention the creatures he had yet to encounter.

Seeing how cruel the world was, Saito finally realized ..he was just a frog in a well.

Saito looked towards Nami who could not hold on any longer. An expression filled with despair and regret stabbed into his soul.

Just then, he looked up, looking at the figure of Ark sitting on the second floor. Lean in the window relaxed. Looking at them with indifferent eyes behind his mask.

Ark's figure then jumped from the second floor. Surprisingly, the young man fell to the ground without a sound. His steps looked so light as a cat.

"Truly boring~"

Ark drew his sword with an indifferent expression. He walked forward casually. This immediately made the three hyenas stare ferociously.

The three of them instantly rushed towards the Ark ferociously. Feeling that the beings called humans were not at all as scary as they had thought before.

A slash! Bruk!

The head of a hyena is thrown in the air before falling to the ground.

The two startled hyenas instantly felt a life and death crisis. They immediately rushed to turn around to escape. However, how could Ark let them escape.

Ark immediately ran fast, stabbing one hyena to death. He then catches up with another hyena. The young man kicked the hyena body from the side violently, making the creature bounce and fall to the ground. When he got up, Ark was already standing in front of him while raising his sword high.

SLASH!!!

In less than a minute, the three hyenas at the peak of level one could be finished off easily by Ark. In addition to technique, the difference in levels also greatly affected the fight.

Ark walked towards Saito while carrying a sword that was still dripping blood. He stopped right in front of the man and said.

"You're weak. That's how you'll always lose the people you love."

"..."

Hearing that, Saito lowered his head. He no longer looked as stubborn as before.

Just then, Ark's blood-soaked left hand extended forward. A calm voice rang out in the ears then echoed in Saito's mind.

"Follow me. Swear to be faithful under me .. and rewrite your life."

Hearing the remark, Saito looked up only to see blue eyes with vertical pupils staring at him behind the mask.

Nami who was lying behind Saito saw the man's back trembling. Ark's speech clearly touched the fragile point of the proud man. But Nami knew it was like making a pact with a demon. Getting something while exchanging something that might be bigger. Not to mention ...there will be no way to return other than to die.

Exerting all her strength, Nami grabbed Saito's clothes and pulled them.

"Saito—"

"DON'T I LOSE THE PEOPLE I LOVE? CAN YOU GIVE ME WHAT I NEED?!

WHETHER ... I DON'T NEED TO FEEL THIS KIND OF LOSS ANYMORE?!"

Ark looked at Saito's figure who looked desperate then said.

"What you need is strength and that's what I'll give you.

Whether you can protect what you love depends on yourself.

With strength, you have at least a chance. So I don't need to explain anymore."

Seeing Saito's expression, Nami pulled the man's clothes even stronger. But the man did not respond at all.

Instead, Saito looked at the blood-soaked hand stretched out in front of him.

Eliminate all thoughts that bother him ...

The young man finally grabbed it.
