Apocalypse Regression's

Chasing Shadow

Looking towards Anthony who was laughing out loud, Evans trembled slightly.

For some reason, Evans suddenly imagined his brother and colleagues were surrounded and in a difficult position. He felt like backing off and made a danger signal. However, the young man knew he must not mess up the plan.

Recalling what Ark told him before the mission began, Evans took a deep breath. He looked right into Anthony's eyes. A determined expression appeared on the young man's face while putting on a fighting position.

Just then, a strong pressure emerged from Evans' figure.

“Your words will not affect me, Anthony.”

Anthony who had previously laughed out loud was silent. He looked at Evans for a few seconds. With a horrible smile on his face, the man said.

“Interesting! Really interesting! In a few days, you once again broke the boundary!

How many? How many have you killed, Evans? I didn't expect at all, the figure I thought was a dirty rat turned out to be a wild kitten. Now the stray cat is all grown up and trying to fight back!

Oho! It's just so awesome! Too beautiful to the point that I want to shed tears!”

Anthony wiped away the tears with his left hand while holding a long whip with his right hand.

Seeing Anthony's change in emotions occurring many times in a short period of time, Evans frowned. Now that he was completely convinced, not only did he have a psychopathic side, that person had indeed gone mad.

Throwing away any doubts, Evans immediately ran towards Anthony quickly. Right then, he immediately saw a shadow darting towards him. Without a hint of panic, the young man dodged to the left.

Evans' gaze always shifted at three points, namely Anthony's eyes, Anthony's hands, then at the end of the modified whip.

Swooshes! Klang's!

Evans immediately parried the end of the whip. At the moment the distance became closer, the young man stepped on the ground even stronger as a pedestal, instantly darting all the way to Anthony's side. Without changing his expression, he immediately slashed at Anthony's neck.

Klang's!

Anthony held off Evans' attack with a dagger in his left hand. He bounced a few meters and staggered. The man then said with a tone full of scorn.

“Ouch! I really almost died. This wild cat is too fierce!”

After saying that, Anthony immediately clasped tightly onto the whip in his right hand then swung it swiftly.

SWOOSH!

Evans' pupil instantly shrank when he saw the black whip that felt turned into a ferocious snake that tried to bite him. So fast, he really couldn't fend it off. But in the end, the young man could still slightly change his position.

A slash!

The end of the whip instantly scratched part of his cheek. At that very instant, a brief memory appeared in his head.

***

In the dark cave, Evans found it difficult to breathe as if something was suffocating him. He looked at the figure standing in front of him.

‘Actually ... how many people have you killed with both hands, Brother?’

Evans wanted to ask, but could not speak at all. In fact, Ark just stood in front of him without saying or doing anything. Only, his appearance had already made his sister feel overwhelmed.

Evans saw his brother's face. There was no cold, lazy, or friendly expression as usual. There was only a flat expression and a blank look. Those red eyes looked so cloudy. Rather than looking at humans, she felt her brother was more akin to a living puppet.

“You can hate me and not have to forgive me.”

Hearing her brother's remark, Evans suddenly thought of how a boy was forced to become a murderer in order to live. He simply could not imagine what the little Ark felt back then. One thing is certain.

Evans doesn't hate his brother at all!

Moreover, the reason why Ark showed this side was due to Evans' own request. As a sister, she really wanted to get to know her brother better. At that very instant, the young man understood something very important.

***

‘The reason why all this happened is because I was weak!’

SLASHY!

“Eh?!”

Anthony who jumped back a few meters landed and then touched the wound on his chest. Seeing the red liquid wet his hands, the man immediately turned his head towards Evans. At that moment, he was stunned.

Evans was still in the slashing position as before, but his legs were slightly bent, completely sprained very badly as he made very fast movements and stopped abruptly. The wound on the young man's leg completely healed at an incredible speed. But that's not what surprised Anthony.

What surprised her was .. Evans' face!

Cold expressions, blank stares, and killing intent that covered other emotions. Seeing that, Anthony was completely shocked. He then laughed out loud.

“HAHAHAHA! I see! That's someone I appreciate!”

Anthony immediately threw out his whip. He took out another dagger, then immediately shot towards Evans.

Although his leg had not fully healed, Evans immediately greeted Anthony's attack calmly. Following which, the sound of the collision of two short swords and two daggers instantly filled the entire surrounding area.

Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!

The two attacks were getting faster, and becoming faster.

Looking at the slight gap, Anthony suddenly opened his left hand. Dust hit Evans' face. When the young man's movements were slightly affected, he immediately slashed at Evans' shoulder which had a gap. The man then kicked Evans until he bounced a dozen meters.

“HAHAHA! Is that fun, Evans?”

After bouncing dozens of meters and rolling on the ground, Evans immediately stood up. Having an expression that was still as poignant as before, the young man ignored the wounds that were starting to heal. She tilted her head while saying in a flat tone like her brother.

“Did you say something?”

Hearing that, a crazy grin reappeared on Anthony's face. Then he screamed.

“Good, Evans! Let's continue this game!”

“No.” Evans shook his head.

“Hah?” Anthony surprised.

“All done, Anthony. I don't have time to play with you. After all, you can no longer move your body.”

Hearing that, Anthony tried to move his body but was shocked when he felt a terrible pain. He then saw thin scars in various places on his legs.

“Since when?”

“Since the beginning of the fight, I was aiming for your feet because even though it's not so fast, you're too flexible. Besides, even strong poison is not very useful to you.”

“DO NOT THINK A SMALL WOUND LIKE THIS CAN STOP ME!”

“I don't have to stop you. Slowing you down is enough because ..”

Evans takes the attacking position. The young man suddenly disappeared. When he appeared, he was already behind Anthony.

“I'm fast.”

Right Evans finished his remark, Anthony's head instantly fell to the ground. Seeing that Anthony had died in his hands from playing too much and had yet to unleash his full strength, the young man shook his head. He then walked away while saying.

“I hate you so much and want to punish you, Anthony. Yet I have absolutely no time to do such a foolish thing because ..”

Evans took a deep breath.

“If I stop too long, I will never be able to catch up to that person's shadow.”
