Apocalypse Regression's

The Fear of Haunting

Three days have passed since the Ark battle with Jay, Kurona, and Shirona against the Ant King.

At this moment, an anxious atmosphere enveloped the entire city. Even the situation is worse than when people dropped Julian. Although those people had died, but right now the rest were still so anxious. The reason is simple, the fall of Hades.

For many, Julian may have been the leader of the government, but Hades was a pillar of humanity. The key for humans can survive and thrive until now. Although many people might have special reasons, but they were all very concerned about Ark's safety.

People also started asking what Julian or Joseph should do. It's just, they all didn't give a definite answer. They waited for a while for sure Ark would return. But the people who were so anxious obviously did not want to wait.

So, right now the entire city was enveloped with an anxious and restless atmosphere.

“What should we do now, Brother?”

Lisa sat on the chair, facing the bed where Ark lay quietly. The young man's eyes opened and his appearance had recovered. However, his left hand needed time to grow back. His appearance was a bit strange because even though his body was an adult male, but his left arm was a baby arm.

Ark covered it up so as not to scare others. Although he had trusted them, but he still did not want to reveal everything to them. However, he still showed some of his abilities to some of the people closest to him, those who lived with him. Except for them, only Lisa knows.

Jay knew it, too. But he is still unconscious at the moment. Kurona and Shirona are already conscious, but their bodies can't yet be used because severe damage to their brains disrupts their nerves. It was even difficult to move a finger, let alone fight. Obviously impossible.

“I only thought of two ways, but still confused to use which one.”

Ark got up from his bed and wore a long-sleeved shirt that could cover his left arm which is currently considered severed. He then went to the wardrobe to pick up the robe.

“Where are you going, Brother?”

“Checking Kurona and Shirona.”

After saying that, Ark left the room. Looking towards the door that had closed, Lisa let out a long sigh. He clearly saw that since Ark was aware, the young man had always asked about Jay, Kurona, and Shirona's condition. Seemed to feel guilty and worried about the condition of the three.

Meanwhile, Ark goes to the room Kurona and Shirona are in. Seeing the two beautiful girls lying on the bed without moving, his expression became softer. Seeing them wink and looking confused, he said.

“I just came to check on you guys. No less, no more.”

After that, Ark sat on the edge of the bed while recounting some old memories. Seeing the expressions of the two girls getting better, the young man smiled. He then approached them and gently kissed them on the forehead before leaving.

“Then I go first.”

After saying that, Ark then went out of the room of the two of them. On her way out of the room, she saw Stacy then nodded lightly.

Stacy who saw Ark leave had a complicated expression on her face. By the time she walked into Kurona and Shirona's room, the girl said softly.

“You guys were lucky to know him before apocalypse happened.”

Meanwhile, after returning from Kurona and Shirona's room, Ark immediately put on his equipment. He carries a gun, wears shoes, changes a cape, and wears a mask. After that, the camuda went to where Finn was.

“Take me somewhere, Finn.”

Ark then called people to put up saddles. After which, he directly went out of the Sword of Sufferings headquarters.

Although many people were confused as to why their chairman had suddenly come out, in the end no one dared to stop him. Lisa, Stacy, and the core members were also only able to see Ark's departure from behind the window. Letting the chief go to calm himself down.

After a long journey, Ark and Finn finally arrived at the location. Huginn and Muninn also followed them.

Jumping down from Finn's back, Ark saw a very familiar place. That place is ... mental hospital.

Ark walked through the dilapidated gate. He continued walking forward with a calm expression. He did not enter the hospital building, but walked through a walkway on the edge of the building, directly leading to the hospital's backyard.

Looking at the garden full of grass and many things scattered, Ark did not care at all. He immediately walked towards a mutated rose tree that was filled with flowers, even many flowers were falling beneath it.

Under the lush mutated rose tree, there appeared to be a rock quite large and out of place. Although it looked like a random stone, but it was a mark. A simple gravestone where there was a figure buried down there.

Ark immediately walked to that place then stood quietly there for a while. Just then, Finn suddenly turned his head to his body. It seemed to feel uneasy when it saw the sad eyes of its master.

“I'm fine, Finn.” Ark said softly while stroking the creature's head.

Ark then sat two meters in front of the rock. Then the young man took out two small ceramic cups and a porcelain bottle from inside a small bag on his waist. Putting two small cups in front of him and in front of the stone, he then poured his own homemade wine.

“You said you like to drink the wine I made because it is a little sweet and not intoxicating so it does not interfere with the mission, right? I brought it for you.”

Ark took off his mask. With a touch of sadness on his face, the young man took a slow sip of wine. Put the cup down and pour the wine back because only one hand can he use. After drinking a few small cups, the young man then said.

“I'm really the worst. Though you have calmed down there, but I still come to complain to you.”

“Hey, I'm really very mean, aren't I? Even after coming back, I can't save you. I also almost lost Kurona and Shirona. Ye know? By the time I was completely cornered …

I thought about leaving them. I consider them my family. I also wanted to leave my best friend. Though I said he was like my brother.”

“Because of fear of not being able to protect them, I instead want to run.”

“Am I not the worst?”

Ark directly sipped wine in one go. A weak and sad expression appeared on his handsome face. Unlike Hades who always appear like a peak existence that can not be touched, strong, and loner. Currently …

He looked like an ordinary man who also had his weak side.
