Apocalypse Regression's

Paint It Black's

About two hours later.

BLARR!!!

The huge body of the white snake instantly crashed far out of the lake. Just then, Jay suddenly fell. He held onto his torn and bleeding stomach with an expression of pain.

“Dead! I'm really going to die, Ark!”

“DIAM! Who told you to mess things up.”

On the Ark side itself did not look any better either. His whole body was full of blood. Although his wounds had closed, but his left hand hung limp. His bones are clearly cracked, probably crushed. It takes time to fully recover.

“This really sucks! Even my best friend no longer cares.”

“DIAM, JAY! Ughhhh! Who told me to have a friend like you? If you are just an acquaintance, I've been kicking you into the snake's mouth since.” The usually calm Ark said in a rude and dissatisfied tone.

Even if they were both strong, they could be referred to as half a step to level 4 as it had yet to absorb the miracle root. So fighting against such creatures is still very dangerous. Both of them actually nearly died a few times in less than two hours. This makes the calm Ark can not help but get angry because of Jay's carelessness.

The white snake itself did not look any better either. His entire body was covered in wounds, even losing one of his legs.

“Who thought the dragon horn was not a display? He could actually do a quick regeneration while in the water. While you yourself also did not die after being knocked down many times. You two are really cheating!”

Ark felt like punching Jay in the face, but did not want to waste the opportunity. Gritting his teeth, the young man limped towards the dying white snake. Seeing that the neck that had been about to break up had begun to recover, his expression turned even worse.

“I'll blame you for delaying the plan, Jay!”

After shouting the sentence, Ark immediately focused towards the snake in front of him. The young man's right arm was then dyed in black. The black color continued to spread onto his sword, making it dark.

The black color was so dark as if it absorbed the light around it. Ark then made a slash as powerful as possible.

SLASHY!

Since the creature had been severely injured, its head was instantly beheaded without the slightest resistance. The winner was finally decided.

Despite winning, Ark and Jay suffered quite a lot of losses. Ark had to use that ability again, but was still unable to control it. But if he doesn't take any chances, the creature may be hard to decapitate. If the regeneration was successful, the two of them would lose. Only, Ark himself still seemed reluctant.

Jem!

The sword in Ark's right hand fell to the ground. His right hand was corroded with a very strong poison, almost rotting and unable to move. If it was a normal person, such a wound would definitely make them cry. Not to mention, if the young man was normal, he would not be able to fight anymore due to losing both of his arms.

“Although only temporarily, losing two hands is still very troublesome.”

Ark then looked towards Jay who was still lying down like a dead man. Although the man can regenerate, but the speed is very slow. Of course, Ark wouldn't just let it go.

“Stop sleeping and take care of your part, Idler!”

“Give me time to take a breath for a moment! The sharp tail earlier not only stirred my intestines, but also injured my heart!” scream Jay.

“You take it or I will take it.”

“Yes, yes, yes! Waita minute! Uhuk!” Jay spewed out some blood mouthfuls. “Why are you acting like a girl who comes by the moon? Really grumpy.”

“…”

Ark's lip corners twitched violently. He wanted to teach his best friend a lesson, but conditions were clearly not possible. In the end the young man was just looking for a place to rest and recuperate. At least so that injuries that are not too severe heal and can walk normally.

‘Luckily Finn and Michi distract the creatures around.’

Ark took a long breath. If not for those two pets, perhaps the savage beasts around would have been attracted by the smell of blood. With the current conditions, fighting over some third level ferocious beasts was obviously very troublesome. The young man was grateful for the hard work of Dinn and Michi. Really help him and his best friend to avoid another crisis.

Gazing towards the sky, Ark let out a long sigh.

“You can really eat such an object?”

Jay stared at Ark with an expression of disbelief. After absorbing the miracle root, Jay has the task of retrieving the snake's skin, horns, tail, and two fangs. In addition, Ark also told him to take out some bile and some pieces of meat. He told his best friend to feed him for not being able to eat with two temporarily paralyzed hands.

If there were some women with crooked minds, they would definitely think of such images as romantic scenes.

“You can try it yourself.” Ark said in a flat tone.

“I still don't want to die of poisoning, man!” rebut Jay with a helpless expression.

“Then it is better that you do not have too many protests.”

“Hey, your hands can really heal, right?”

“Do you swear that I will not heal?” Ark said in a annoyed tone. “If it can't heal, by the time we're cornered, I'll kick you into the snake's mouth and escape.”

“Hahaha! That's funny, Ark. I'm sure you won't let anything like that happen.”

‘If you don't sacrifice yourself, I definitely don't hesitate to do it.’

Ark thought when he saw Jay laughing. He just shook his head lightly. Although cruel, the young man was not a figure who did not know to return the favor. Both to his people and cruel to his enemies, that was how Ark acted.

“Everything's packed, Jay. We'll be back.”

Hearing that, Jay nodded with a smile on his face. As his body had recovered and became stronger after absorbing the miracle root, the man who took care of the rest while Ark was just silent and following along without doing any other work.

***

That night, in the Ark house.

“Can you calm down? This is not something serious.”

Looking towards the worried women, then towards Nathan and the crying Nala made Ark smile wryly. Even so, he also felt a hint of warmth in his heart when he saw the person who was worrying and caring about him.

“Are you really okay, Mr Ark?” nathan asked as he held onto his clothes.

“Does it hurt? Can Nala help?” asked Nala who acted like her brother.

“Calm down, I'm fine. After all, I am the Hades that people fear, right? Ark replied with a smile. Trying to comfort the two children so as not to worry.

While Ark was comforting Nathan and Nala, the people at home began to discuss.

“Because Sir can't use his hands, then I'll take care of him.” Stacy said with a serious expression.

“Why you? Wouldn't it be Shirona and I who deserved it better?” asked Kurona in a monotone tone.

“Yes! Kurona's right. It should have been me and Kurona who did it.”

“You can't do much except kill.” Stacy snorted dissatisfied.

“You also can not cook and do homework well.” Kurona's eyes became colder.

“…”

Seeing them all arguing, Ark was completely speechless. Although she felt grateful enough to be noticed by the beautiful women, but she felt something was wrong. The young man questioned something in his heart.

‘Aren't you guys focusing on the wrong thing? Instead of thinking about getting better sooner, why do I feel that you want both of my hands to be completely permanently paralyzed?’

‘Didn't your mind become increasingly abnormal?’
