Apocalypse Regression's

Other Calls

Next morning.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Hearing the knock of the door, Ark who had just opened his eyes looked puzzled. He got up from the bed with a strange expression on his face.

Ark's room is clearly on the third floor. Other than her, obviously no one can go up. Not only that, on the third floor where she lives is guarded by Finn. Although it sometimes seemed silly, the white was still a cruel beast. He never gave a face to anyone other than himself.

Opening the door, Ark was a little confused when he saw the figure of Abigail standing in front of the door while carrying a tray. On top of the tray, looks porridge with slices of meat on it. There are also vegetables and a glass of water.

A luxury breakfast set in this chaotic world.

"This ... dream?"

Ark looked a bit confused. He felt strange because Abigail could appear on the third floor.

"I brought you breakfast, sir. And, sorry .. This isn't a dream."

Hearing that, Ark looked at the place where Finn usually slept. He instantly saw the figure of a large white wolf that was busy eating flesh full of blood in an iron bucket. Sensing his gaze, the white turned towards him with a silly expression. There was absolutely no fear let alone guilt on his face!

Realizing that usually the one who takes care of Finn when Ark goes on a mission is Abigail, the young man's expression turns solemn.

'This silly white ... can really be bribed with a bucket of meat! What a useless guard!'

Seeing the change in expression on Ark's face, Abigail hurriedly said.

"You can relax, sir. Even though Finn let me ride, but he didn't allow anyone else to do the same. Even last night he caught Kurona and Shirona.

Isn't that right, Finn?"

Hearing Abigail's words, Finn barked softly before continuing to enjoy his breakfast.

"Thank you, Abigail. You can come down."

Ark said in a flat tone as he received the food. After that, he immediately went into the room and ate at the study table.

After eating, Ark approached Finn and kicked him gently.

"As a guard, how can you let someone else get on the floor without my permission, Finn?"

Ark shook his head. Looking at Finn's body that could barely move freely in this place because it was already too big, the young man said.

"It seems you can't stay in this place anymore."

Hearing Ark's remark, the expression on the white husky's face instantly changed. He stared at his master with an expression of disbelief. It seemed so humane because it really understood what Ark was saying.

"Of course I didn't throw you out because you made trouble. But you should know, with your body now ...

It's almost impossible to live on the third floor!"

Finn barked straight away. It seemed to protest, saying that she was still the cute and adorable white. Living on the third floor should not be a problem!

"Who are you trying to fool? Never mind, let's get out. Do a morning run while doing patrols."

Hearing the word morning run which means 'walking', Finn was immediately excited.

Descending to the first floor, Ark was immediately greeted by a few gazes. However he ignored her and went straight out together with Finn.

Leaving them all without a word.

***

One week just passed.

Although Ark and the women's relationship wasn't bad, compared to before, there was currently still some distance between them. It seemed that the young man was still reluctant to get closer to them. Of course, the daily schedule of exercise, work, and rest is still running as usual.

Even if something is troubling, they are still professional. Not mixing one thing with another just because of a problem in their heart.

In the workshop, Ark workspace.

"Has the sword finished, Ark?"

"En." Ark nodded. "You can take it."

After saying that, Ark pointed towards the one-handed sword that was quite long in black. It was still Jay's previous sword, only it was repaired by mixing various materials.

Not only Jay's sword, the two Ark swords were also modified as they were completely nearly destroyed from fighting the mutated blue ring octopus. As for the choice to throw away, Ark certainly rejected it.

As long as the material is good and can still be remade, throwing it away is obviously futile!

"Hey, what the fuck with this purple sparkle? Really cooler than before?"

"Be careful. It's poisonous." Ark said with a flat expression.

"Eh?"

You have to be careful when using it. Don't play around and end up killing people accidentally."

"Ark, you ..."

"Because of the corrosion of heavy toxins, even after a complete cure, your left hand will now have such a look. Looks like a burn.

I'm responsible for all of that. I am still indebted too. A sword like this was only a trivial matter, so there was no need to hesitate and act bashfully like a little girl.

Honestly, it's disgusting!"

"..."

Jay's lips twitched. Just as she wanted to say something, a small figure barged into the room while saying.

"I'm back, Chief!"

Looking at Lisa who was still wearing a robe and mask, Ark raised his eyebrows.

"Is there a problem, Lisa?"

"Hehehehe~ You will definitely not believe it. On the way this time, we got a very good harvest!"

Sensing the sparkling gazes behind his mask, Ark and Jay looked at each other.

"See this!!!"

Lisa pulled out a black cloth. When opening it, it appears an object that is confused whether it should be referred to as a plant or animal.

"This ... mandrake?!" jay said with a surprised expression.

"This mutated thousand-year-old ginseng, you idiot. You can see it clearly. Despite having a rickety, outcast doll-like shape with four limbs, the features of ginseng are still clearly visible.

Yep. It is undeniable, its appearance is quite similar to the mandrake in fairy tales."

"Then ... is this worthless?" asked Lisa with a disappointed look on her face.

"Of course it's worth it."

"Drinking it can increase cultivation? Makes me able to break through level 3, even level 4 right away?" Lisa asked with an excited expression.

"Hmmm ..."

Ark stroking chin. After a while, he then said.

"According to my guess. The natural energy content in this thing is indeed high."

"Should I drink it immediately?" Lisa asked with eyes full of hope.

"You can try it, but I don't want to take responsibility.

I think, because it has high energy. The item itself is not suitable for consumption. You could even say poisonous.

It seems that if you submerge that thing in a barrel of water overnight, the next day you can become a mass murderer after dividing the immersion water into a thousand people."

"..."

The corner of Lisa's lips twitched. From the explanation and the 'guess' Ark, the thing in his hand was not at all a cultivation treasure or anything like that. It was clearly only a powerful poison that made people die after consuming it!

Seeing Lisa's moody expression, Ark began to console.

"It can still be considered a treasure. Maybe we could use it for something else.

By the way, how did you get this kind of thing?"

Hearing that, Lisa looked surprised. After which, he scratched the back of his head with a timid expression behind his mask.

"Actually this is the thing Julian left you, Chief. He didn't know if this was useful or not, just felt that this thing seemed to be expensive."

Ark dumbfounded. He was sure that if it was really a treasure, the little devil would definitely make excuses and would not admit that it was a gift from Julian for him!

"Then, what did you trade it for?"

"Julian did not ask for anything at all. It's just ..."

"Just?" ask Ark.

After some hesitation, Lisa finally said.

"It seems that Julian wants you to come to the Silver Sword headquarters to take care of something."
