Apocalypse Regression's

Between Life and Death

'This is why I hate intelligent mutated creatures.'

The current enemy of the Ark was different from the Black Wolf King who continued to chase after him without thinking, trivializing the humans who were considered weak and were instead dropped from the building and then cut without having time to take out his abilities. The creature in front of him was also different from the mutated Peacock Mantis Shrimp which was actually strong, but simple-minded and malnourished.

This blue ring octopus is very intelligent. Get out of place, keep moving to find prey. Finally arrived at a suitable place to use as a nest. The location where he could live quietly without many competitors, but also quite strategic because the location was more often visited.

Ark had tried several times to lure him out of the pond, but the result was nil. The blue-ringed octopus is not fooled at all and is aware that he will be harmed if he has to fight on the mainland for a long time.

Although Ark felt his opponent was quite heavy, he did not back down at all. Having high intelligence, it means it also has the effect of strengthening his telekinesis skill. Not to mention, the young man was reluctant to release the super regeneration ability which if developed to a higher stage.

Why only half? Because during Ark's previous life, he had never seen a truly immortal being. Even a figure considered to be a 'Dragon' that occupied the top of the food chain could still be killed.

Thinking of the various strange creatures at the end of the world, Ark let out a long sigh.

'Had things like magic existed .. Instead of being half a monster, bombarding enemies with fire, ice, lightning, and such would have looked cool.

Although psychic powers (telekinesis) can be developed in that direction, it is still impractical. Not to mention, the burden on mental strength was too heavy. Especially for lower class creatures. It might blow its own head off!'

At the moment Ark thought that, the mutated blue-ringed octopus entered into the pond. Completely left the young man who was daydreaming in the distance alone.

Seeing the incident, the corner of Ark's lips twitched. Feeling somewhat angry, the young man grabbed one of the audience seats and threw it into the pool. It wasn't enough to get there, he kept throwing debris from the audience. Throw it into the pool to fill, making the water come out little by little.

A BANG!

Some octopus tentacles emerged from the water while wrapped around the chair and some debris. Throw it out of the pool. But a lot of debris was thrown into the pool even before the octopus finished throwing it away.

Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!

Ark kept kicking things into the pool. He kept kicking at incredible speed. It did not aim specifically at all, just kicking it into a vast pool.

The tentacles of the octopus are pulled back into the pond. After a while, many bubbles appeared to the surface of the pond. The longer, the more the number became as if the pond was boiling.

Ark did not panic at all. Instead, he felt quite happy that the octopus was already angry. That means, the octopus has considered it an enemy that should not stay in its area. The figure to be eliminated.

Just then, Ark's expression suddenly turned bad when he saw a hole appearing in the pond. More precisely, a large, circular mouth filled with countless sharp teeth.

The mouth that was more like a sacrificial bowl was pointed towards the sky. It was also ... The purple smoke burst straight into the sky.

Within moments, the smoke came down and began to spread around. Make the area around become foggy. Enough to cover the entire dolphin show area they are in.

Looking at the surrounding fog, Ark instantly tore his clothes off and made him a makeshift mask. Although he had a high enough poison resistance, the young man was not stupid enough to continue to inhale it blindly.

The purple mist became thicker. The sound of water splashing sounded in the ears, making Ark turn his head immediately and look at the black figure that came out of the pool.

"Make an area that benefits him, but harms his opponent. For an octopus .. this is indeed quite intelligent."

Swooshes!

A tentacle as thick as a bucket pierced through the purple mist, instantly aiming towards the standing Ark. Instead of slashing the tentacles, he jumped back.

Several tentacles re-emerged and aimed at him from various directions. In response, the young man again dodged. But not only did he dodge, he also focused on the two swords in his hand.

The light on his sword grew brighter and brighter. The sound of wind blowing and rubbing was also getting louder. While dodging the attack, the young man counted.

"Two, three, four ..."

Ark then ran to the left. Several tentacles caught up with him, directly aiming towards his feet and head. Trying to stop his movement.

"Five, six, seven, eight ..."

After dodging to the left, Ark again rushed to the right, where he had previously been. Once again, several tentacles rushed towards him.

"Nine, ten, eleven ..."

Swooshes!

"Twelve!"

Grunting coldly, Ark's figure disappeared from its place. He quickly rushed forward.

"Shadow Stream Styx!!!"

Dozens of crescent-like blue blades instantly danced along with the Ark's movements, instantly tearing apart the twelve tentacles that were all around it. Not stopping there, the young man continued to rush forward like an unstoppable stream.

Not yet had the blue-ringed octopus pulled out its twelve tentacles, the young man instantly cut them with a neat and exquisite slash. In an instant, the figure of Ark appeared in front of the blue ring octopus head with a pair of eyes staring indifferently.

SLASH!!!

Ark instantly made a cross slash. It directly cut off the outside of the octopus' body. Purplish-black blood splashed onto the young man's body. A hissing sound rang out, the skin and flesh affected by the blood instantly melted.

Left arm, chest, legs, cheeks, fingers ..although terrible wounds filled his body, Ark did not retreat at all.

The young man did not think of any beautiful way to win. Just one strike determines whether he will be a winner or a loser.

Looking at the internal organs of the creature, Ark's expression became even fiercer. If he allowed the blue-ringed octopus to move to eat back parts of his body and start regenerating, that young man would die.

The wounds on the creature's body began to close at a speed visible to the eyes. But the figure of Ark was not at all silent.

"INDEED, I'LL JUST LET YOU!!!"

SLASH!!!

Ark again made a cross cut, widening the wound that was about to close. Without the slightest doubt, he immediately entered and stabbed the brain and heart of the creature. But just then, a shrill scream was heard.

Ark felt his brain slightly shaken. He saw the octopus' body expand like a puffer fish. But not only the body, but its duration also enlarges. Makes its appearance like a sea urchin.

Jem! Jem! Jem!

The incoming ark was instantly pierced by sharp thorns. Not just a few slash wounds all over his body. However, three thorns pierced his stomach and one pierced his chest.

"DEAD!!!"

Regardless of his more zombie-like appearance, Ark instantly stabbed into the heart of the creature.

The body of the blue-ringed octopus instantly twitched when the core that was its weakness was stabbed. I really didn't expect the little creature to be so cunning. Letting him attack with his twelve legs only to be cut off and slightly slow down the regeneration.

Before dying, the blue-ringed octopus stared at Ark with an expression of disbelief. Acting so recklessly just to kill him.

After the body of the blue ring octopus stopped twitching, its body again deflated. His eyes became dull, completely losing his life.

BRUK!

Ark's figure bounced backwards and fell to the ground. The young man forced himself to rise. He instantly pulled out four long thorns like a sword that pierced his body. Throwing it aside, he then walked up to the blue ringed octopus while staggered.

Just walking for less than five steps, Ark's body trembled as he stopped walking.

BLERRGH!!!

Black blood gushed out from his mouth. Although the purple mist had disappeared, his gaze had instead become increasingly dim. At first glance, Ark saw the huge body of the blue ringed octopus several meters in front of him.

'A little more ... just a little more ...'

Ark felt his body could not hold on and eventually collapsed. But instead of falling to the ground, he felt that his body was being held back.

Before his consciousness completely disappeared, Ark heard a slightly indistinct voice whispering to him.

"Good job, man."
