Apocalypse Regression's

The City Park

“Do I now trust him?”

Jay asked back with a skeptical tone. He then looked towards Ark with a serious expression on his face. Taking a deep breath, the young man said.

“Of course I believe! I'm also ready to hunt down that flood dragon!”

“Ular,” reply Ark flat.

“That's a dragon, Ark! The dragon! Don't make me remind you again.”

“…”

Ark looked at Jay with a strange expression on his face. Even without seeing it directly, from the description mentioned by Saito alone he was sure that the creature was a snake. Not to mention, the snake is quite familiar because it was quite famous in his previous life. Quite rare and powerful, just like the Abyssal Shadow Lynx or the mutated Black Doberman. That's why Ark asked Saito to search the area that might be his hiding place at an early stage.

Actually, the creature itself was previously the Ark's target. Yet everything he had changed since obtaining the root miracle of a rare being at level 2. Plus having tasted the root miracle power of a mutated beast with talent as well as the ability to break through the stages of a high-level being, the young man felt reluctant to accept the others. Especially since he had a lot of information that no one else knew in his head.

Ark felt reluctant to accept the root miracle with a slightly worse level!

Only, such a creature was not an existence like rice or vegetables that could be bought as long as it went to the market. Their existence is even harder to find than other creatures. Even with so much knowledge in his head, Ark still could not find them all.

Even so, Ark himself had determined some of the creatures that might now still be at level four. Yes, because most of them instantly appeared at level 5, or even level 6. It's just, there's no one in this town.

Arguably, the big Boss in this city was the kraken that the Ark had defeated by taking advantage of the world's restrictions. It can still finish itself off at level 3. Thinking of the few creatures in his head, Ark could only feel regret.

‘After finishing off the ant queen and stabilizing the territory, it is better to immediately start an expedition out of town. Go to another city soon. After all, back then the power of the Sword of Sufferings was enough. The boy probably won't be able to wait too long.’

Just then, Jay's voice interrupted Ark.

“Hey, are you okay, Ark?”

“Ya.” Ark nodded.

“When are we leaving?”

“Lusa. Wait for me to break the limit. You also have to prepare yourself. As you know, the stronger the creature, the more useless the quantity. To fight against that creature, it would at least require quite a number of people breaking through level 3. But right now we also lack workers, so …

I don't want us to do both. Of course, we'll be helped by Finn and Michi. After all, the strength of a level 3 mutated beast cannot be underestimated.”

Hearing Ark's explanation, Jay nodded. He then said, “Alright. I'll wait.”

Ark looked towards his best friend with a slightly regretful expression. Although this is for Jay's good, it cannot be denied that there is interference from him. The young man felt somewhat guilty for utilizing his own best friend as the key to fighting the ant queen.

“Then you can come back, Jay.”

“Then I go first.”

After that, Jay got up right away, seemingly wanting to leave immediately to look for Mona. But then Ark's voice came back.

“Jay!”

“Hah? What's up?”

Jay came to a halt at the door, then turned his head towards Ark with a puzzled expression.

“It's okay. Just make sure to prepare everything well.”

“Understanding!”

“You can also go to meet Nami, Saito. Thank you for your hard work.”

After saying that, Ark closed his eyes to rest himself, both physical and mental.

In the afternoon, two days later in the park.

“Really! I feel weird, Ark. Isn't the park a special area for insects? Why would a dragon live in this kind of place?”

Passing through the lush undergrowth while setting foot on the ground full of decaying leaves, Jay felt extremely annoyed. He really doesn't like to fight in areas with that kind of natural style. Rather than the forest, the man preferred to fight in the city because his footing was sturdier and his gaze was not so hindered.

“Leeches and frogs are also not insects, Jay.” Ark reminded with a flat tone.

“But they're aquatic creatures! At least semi aquatic!” refute Jay directly.

“Isn't there also a snake that is a semi-aquatic creature? I mean, even the flood dragon you're referring to also has something to do with water, right? After all, there's a word flood in his name.” Ark still replied so casually.

“…”

Jay stopped talking. The man simply looked towards Ark with a dissatisfied expression. It was truly unexpected that his quiet best friend was still so stubborn towards such small details. Glancing at the huge sword on the Ark's back, he couldn't help but feel envious.

“Hey, I really still envy your new sword.”

“Which one? Sword of the mutated rhinoceros horn level three or two sword of the mutated leopard fang level three?”

Given that the man's two swords had also been replaced, the corner of Jay's lips twitched. He became increasingly dissatisfied. Then Ark's voice sounded again.

“If this mission is completed, I will give you the sword from this horn. It's better than the other two swords.”

“Really?” jay asked excitedly.

“Of course it's true. After all, after obtaining a tier 4 miracle root and absorbing it, a tier two weapon is not very useful to you. As for making weapons from level 4 creature materials will take a lot of time.”

‘Because we have to rush to the anthill before they grow too much, time is what we do not have.’

Ark said the last sentence in his heart for not wanting to disturb Jay's concentration in the next battle. The two continued walking towards the location without any hurry. They were quite cautious due to the cruel nature, and they were by no means invincible creatures.

“We get to.”

Seeing a small lake in the distance that was previously probably the middle fountain of the city park, Ark and Jay stopped. The two of them instantly scanned the surroundings with a serious expression on their faces.

“Why don't I see anything?” jay asked with a suspicious expression.

Ark did not answer. He continued to look around seriously. Not finding anything around, the young man smiled behind his mask. He instantly killed a mutated silkworm that happened to be not far from them, then directly kicked it hard. The goal .. of course the calm lake is not far from them.

BYURPR!!!

As the body of the giant silkworm fell into the water, it suddenly appeared a darting figure. Get out of the water to catch it. Just then, Jay's expression turned serious.

Looking at the creature from quite a distance away, Ark said in a slightly joking tone.

“Yes. Now we can see it.”
