Apocalypse Regression's
Can Feel it
On a hidden path leading to the main building of the Crux of Shadow headquarters, a black-robed figure walked alone slowly.
Swooshes! Klang's!
“This ... custom-made arrows?”
Looking at the arrows that were shorter than normal arrows and made from other materials, he frowned.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
Several arrows shot out in the darkness of the night, but the cloaked figure instantly fended off all the children without a single exception.
“Isn't that an interesting toy, Shadow?”
Hearing that, Saito looked towards the figure that had appeared from a distance.
That person was a middle-aged man who looked careless and somewhat lazy. He wore a strange tool on his left arm, smiling towards Saito with a friendly face.
“One of the generals of Crux of Shadow,” muttered Saito.
Saito was once in pursuit, so he was also quite familiar with the generals of the Crux of Shadow group. After all, some of those people were quite conspicuous among many other members. Unfortunately, Claus himself only appears at the headquarters and does not come after him, so Saito also does not know him very well.
“I also have a name, know. My name is Claus, so you have to remember it.”
“Then you should also not call someone with the original designation. Besides, my name is not Shadow.”
“Then, what's your name?”
SWOOSH! Klang's!
Saito's figure darted quickly, instantly slashing at Claus but was repelled with a sword in the man's right hand. As the two faced each other, Saito finally countered.
“It doesn't matter.”
The sword in Saito's hand swung back rapidly. Seeing that, Claus moved in a strange way but could fend off the man's attack. He bounced backwards a few meters, Claus wiping the sweat on his forehead.
“Ups! It was really close! Aren't you too fierce, Shadow?”
After saying that, Claus pointed his left arm at Saito. Accompanied by a light clicking sound, three arrows shot straight towards the man's head.
“Awas!”
At the moment when Saito fended off the arrows, Claus' voice sounded. He then saw the man had appeared beside him then slashed down quickly.
KLANG!
Saito jumped back a few meters. Looking at the sloppy-looking Claus, his eyes narrowed. Just then, his figure slowly faded away with the dark of the night.
Seeing such an oddity, Claus smiled. He then watched around with his perfunctory expression. The man then aimed randomly and then shot.
Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!
‘How can it?’
In an invisible state, Saito fended off Claus' arrow with an expression on his face.
“How could he possibly see me? Maybe that's the question that comes to mind, right?”
Just then, Claus's relaxed voice sounded. The man then scratched the back of his head while continuing to explain.
“Do you believe anyone is born with some advantages, Shadow?
People usually unconsciously can feel if viewed seriously or noticed. But I have a different case. As long as there are people looking at me, whether she is seen or not, from near or far.”
“I can feel it.”

Meanwhile, it was not far from the regional gate of the main headquarters of the Crux of Shadow.
Ark walked quietly while muttering. The young man seemed to be talking to him in a voice that only he could hear.
‘If you do this, you will repeat everything. After being given a chance back, don't you want to improve yourself?’
After a few steps, Ark muttered again.
‘If it doesn't become like before, you won't be able to do it. But after returning, do you really not change many things and have to go this way?’
‘Save or discard ... can only choose one of them.’
The Ark finally stopped at a distance of approximately one hundred meters from the gate. In front of the gate, there were hundreds of people preparing to fight. Their numbers might be close to a thousand, but almost all of them were ordinary people.
Ark was expecting it. But after seeing Simon send his innocent followers to commit suicide, the young man's hands clenched tightly. The opponent obviously made him feel depressed because not everyone could kill those innocent easily. Not to mention, they were all not core members of the Crux of Shadow who possessed Blood Slime, but just ordinary humans.
“It seems as strong as I try, I can never be a good human being.”
Ark scoffs at himself. He always thought he could get better after coming back. At least be a person worthy of being called a human being. But in the end, the young man only gained more strength ...
Not changing himself at all!
‘I am a creature called as the son of the devil.’
‘I am a killer too fit to live in a dark and foul environment like this.’
‘I am a lonely star who does not need anyone to stand.’
‘I am Number XIII ..’
Behind his mask, the cold expression on Ark's face slowly became more blunt. He grew duller, and eventually lost all expression and emotion as he said.
‘The manifestation of death itself.’
Just then, the people who were at the gate stared at Ark with nervous expressions on their faces. Many archers were aiming at the black-robed, masked young man, but did not shoot him immediately knowing the possibility of hitting him was too low when he was at such a distance. They waited for the Ark to advance to a distance of 50 meters from them or less.
It's just that ... everything doesn't go their way at all, even beyond their expectations!
A few breaths waited, the figure of Ark standing in the distance suddenly disappeared. Everyone became confused due to such a sudden occurrence. Yet they all immediately turned their heads in the same direction when they heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
At that moment, everyone shuddered in horror. Many of them instantly escaped, some were instantly vomiting on the spot.
In the place where they looked, there appeared dozens of lower body parts that were still standing but the upper part fell to the ground. It was completely cut right on his waist. Such a terrifying image clearly frightened them all.
“Enyah from this place .. leave this city.”
Hearing the cold sound of a gust of wind within the ice cave in the ears, everyone immediately looked up. Right then, they immediately saw a scene that they would never forget.
The black-robed and masked figure actually floated in the air. The wind blew on her, making her clothes dance gently. The sword in his right hand was enveloped in red, just like a ruby-eyed ruby looking at them without the slightest hint of emotional flux.
Right then, they felt that they were no longer fighting against a human. They will also continue to remember the name of the figure floating in the sky that was illuminated by the moon. He is Hades ...
King of the Underworld!
