Apocalypse Regression's
Unknown Creature
On the windy roof of the building, Ark and Evans sat face to face.
“Black Slime, is it?”
Ark held his chin. They sat there to hear Evans' story. Although Ark himself was convinced of the loyalty of his subordinates, but he still wanted to cherish his own sister's secrets. In addition, there may be some things that outsiders don't deserve to hear and embarrass Evans.
Slime.
It was the name of the strange creature that appeared in the apocalypse. Unlike what exists in fantasy worlds or in games, these creatures are extremely powerful. Very powerful and easy to use, that's how researchers look at slime.
Slime itself is actually a creature that needs a host to grow. His own host was a human who had never broken any boundaries. According to research, the creature could not fuse with a mutated beast or a zombie. The creature seemed to only be able to choose a container that was completely still clean. His own face will grow with him, perhaps more like mutual symbiosis.
Slime cannot grow without humans, but humans who join the slime can break boundaries more easily.
The slime can continue to grow by eating the heart of another creature. In the early stages, the growth of its users was clearly faster than that of people using potions. But there is also a disadvantage, namely they cannot absorb the miracle root. That meant, they had powerful bodies but lacked the abilities of other mutated beasts.
However, that does not mean the slimes do not have the ability. As strange creatures, they had some ability other than to merge with humans.
First is poison resistance. To swallow almost all the hearts of other creatures, the slime is equipped with high toxic resistance. Next is the ability to reproduce. Every time you break the limit, slime with the title ‘ratu’ can produce other slimes that have similar capabilities, except for the reproduction part.
When it broke through level 2, the queen could make 10 slimes. Interestingly, the queen's descendant slimes could not grow to match the queen's own level. In addition, the queen could also determine their life and death. That was the reason why the slime users below him were so loyal.
At level 2, the queen could have a descendant of 10 tier 1 slimes. At level 3, the queen could have a descendant of 10 slimes breaking through level 2 and 100 tier 1 slimes. So on and so forth.
From the way they evolved, it could already be seen how terrifying it would be to make those creatures enemies. According to Ark himself, the chairman of the Crux of Shadow was the owner of a tier 4 slime queen. It has 10 level 3 subordinates, 100 level 2 subordinates, and 1000 level 1 subordinates. It was certain since they mentioned the title of general to the owners of the tier 3 slime.
According to research many years later, there were only 3 slimes that appeared at first.
They are Black Slime, Blood Slime, and Cursed Slime. Because indeed only that type appeared the most, except for a few strange mutated slimes that only had a number of no more than one each type.
Each slime has almost similar abilities to grow, reproduce, or even resist toxins. But different types also have different special abilities. While how to distinguish it, can be seen easily from the color.
Black Slime has a black color like ink. Blood Slime has a blood red color. While the Cursed Slime has a dark purple color, almost black.
Blood Slime has an ability called blood burn, which burns its own life energy to gain extraordinary strength. Like the increase that the berserk skill brought. It seemed that the people from the Crux of Shadow had yet to figure it out. According to Ark himself, it was likely that only the leader would know about it and pass it on to the few people he could rely on the most.
While Black Slime is simpler, namely the ability to regenerate. Although unlike the Kraken which can almost be considered eternal, but the regeneration of Black Slime itself is also amazing. Even if the hand is cut off, as long as it is given enough time, it can grow back. Same for the rest of the body.
For the Cursed Slime itself ... Ark shook his head. Two creatures appearing in one city were already overdone. If the others were also in the city, it meant that this city was the scene of the appearance of the first three queens. He himself did not want to fight against this type of Cursed Slime. If he could, he wanted to capture her and give it to his confidant.
Simple reason. Beings are more troublesome than the other two types!
“Do you also have the same slime as me, Brother Archie?” ask Evans.
“What? You mean ... My ability is similar to that crazy cult leader?”
Ark's lip twitching. He wanted to hit his sister. In addition to cursing the Crux of Shadow, the young man knew that Evans had also considered the Sword of Sufferings to be a bunch of lunatics. It was even crazier than that heretical sect from its mouth.
“Listen to me, Evans. There is no wrong ability, whether the ability is evil or not, it depends on its user.”
“Um ... understandable.” Evans nodded. “By the way, if you don't have slime, how do you guys break through the restrictions, Brother Archie?”
“Actives ..”
Ark began to tell the concept of potions, breaking through boundaries, and absorption of miracle roots. Hearing that all made Evans feel that his brother who ‘steals’ knowledge from the future looks too great and genius. Makes him feel like the older brother he knew was less than 5% of Archie himself.
“Getting the ability of other creatures, isn't that too amazing?”
“What's amazing? If you are not careful and careless, maybe the skills you get are useless. Moreover, finding the recipe of the evolution potion was easy? What about the materials? You think it's as easy as picking vegetables in your own garden?”
Ark asked in a flat tone, but each question made Evans feel somewhat embarrassed. The young man was clearly more tempted about the various special abilities that his brother had said. He thought less about the negative side of the development of such a normal way.
“You get special and more practical abilities like walking in VIP lane. So you better be grateful and take advantage of the advantages that we do not have.”
“B-Good, Brother!” answer Evans.
“I heard you learned to use a short sword? Do you have a certain technique or self-taught learning?”
“Of course learn by self-taught. If it was in normal times, why would I have to waste money to learn such a technique?”
“...”
Hearing that, Ark fell silent. He looked towards his sister. The boy who was always nagging about saving money popped into his head. Perhaps because of their background and also seeing how difficult he was to earn money, Evans has always been frugal since childhood.
“Then I will teach you a technique that .. arguably is pretty cool. I actually wanted to teach it in person, but it seemed to have to be postponed for a while. Not only because you have not fully recovered, but you must leave here immediately along with Leon.”
“Eh? Why?” Evans was confused.
“Yes. How to say it ..”
Ark got up, his somewhat relaxed face turned extremely cold. He then glanced in a certain direction while saying.
“We have uninvited guests.”
