Apocalypse Regression's

No Matter Which Way

“So, am I the first woman?”

Hearing the ambiguous question from Aisha's mouth, Ark replied flatly.

“Same as no. Other than you, I have met the other members of Reign of Shadow.”

“Heh~ Really unpleasant. Who'sis that? Is your teacher annoying?”

“The old man had died even before the apocalypse happened. Lucky type who does not need to think about many things in a world that has been chaotic like this.”

“Truly disrespectful boy. Happy for the death of his own teacher? That's kind of outrageous, Ark.”

“I just expressed my opinion.”

Looking at Ark, Aisha really wanted to pinch the young man's cheek. Wanted to change the expression on his face so stiff.

“Then, who have you met, Ark?”

“Anya who has become a zombie. Kurona and Shirona are now at the main headquarters of Sword of Sufferings.”

“...”

Aisha said nothing. He only smoked a cigarette in silence, patting Ark on the shoulder calmly. Feeling guilty for discussing something he should not have discussed before.

“You don't need to feel guilty at all. All who are born in this world will die. At every meeting, there will be a farewell.

Whether we want to or not. Whether we're ready or not. That sort of thing is bound to happen.”

Hearing Ark's words, Aisha turned her head with an astonished expression. He had absolutely no idea that the cold young man who used to only know fighting and killing could talk about life.

“It seems not just the appearance, you are indeed a real adult, Ark.”

“I am an adult. You're the one who treated me like a child.”

Ark rolled his eyeballs. Not at all happy because of Aisha's words.

Seeing Ark's appearance, Aisha laughed off guard. While making an estimate of his height with his hands, the woman said.

“The first time we met, you were only this tall, Ark. Really very short and skinny.”

“...”

Seeing Aisha continue to tease him, Ark chose the only way to escape. Yeah, stop paying attention to him and pretend not to see him.

***

In the afternoon, at the Sword of Sufferings headquarters.

In Ark's spacious workroom, it seemed that many people were gathered. More precisely, many women from Golden Rose.

They all surrounded Aisha, staring at the woman with curious and amazed expressions on their faces.

For the women in Golden Rose, the name Aisha the Bone Spider is very famous and often heard in their ears. In fact, many of them admired her and regarded the woman as a living legend. The goal they want to achieve.

Surrounded by beautiful women, Aisha looked so calm. He was still smoking as usual with a relaxed face while sitting lazily. However, the woman was actually also shocked. He didn't expect to have so many fans.

Not to mention, the fans have excellent quality!

“Oi, Ark! Is this your harem or something? You didn't invite me to come just to show off, did you?”

Hearing Aisha's impolite remark, Ark was completely dumbfounded. He did not expect that inviting the woman would even make him feel a headache.

Having a grim expression on his face, Ark finally said.

“Better shut up, Aisha. Don't talk if you don't need.”

Seeing Ark's cheap expression, Aisha took a sip of her cigarette with a satisfied expression. Seems happy to tease the guy.

Unlike the other members of the Reign of Shadow who were so mysterious, Aisha was more popular. Can be considered a famous celebrity among the hit men.

After all, not only a hitman, Aisha is also a famous fugitive.

Ark let out a long breath before giving the order.

“Roxanne, you and your colleagues are leaving the office now. There's something I want to talk about in private with him.”

The women from Golden Rose immediately got up and left the room.

After the door closed, the relaxed expression on Aisha's face turned even more serious. Looking towards the Ark, the woman asked.

“So, what do you want from an old woman like me, Ark?”

“I've said it before.”

“Be your weapon, right?” Aisha shook her head. “Even if I have more tricks and experience, I still can't defeat the weakest warriors in this group due to the vastly different basic strength. Wouldn't you rather choose them?”

“Of course I trust them, Aisha. However, I trust you more in carrying out missions.

As for strength, there was absolutely no problem. Sooner or later you will catch up with the power of the Sword of Sufferings higher-ups. I will prepare all the evolution materials for you.”

“Evolution, huh?” mummified Aisha. Staring at Ark right in his eyes, the woman again said. “Although you created an evolutionary herb, the material is definitely not easy to obtain. Especially the higher level. So tell me, Ark ... why do you trust me so much?”

“Because I believe in my vision. Also, because you are a person worthy of trust.”

Aisha was shocked when she saw Ark looking at her with a serious expression. There was absolutely no feeling of indifference or coldness as usual. The young man actually said it seriously and sincerely.

‘This conversation ... It seems that after so many years, everyone has indeed changed.’

Aisha took a sip of her cigarette with a calm expression. Exhaling cigarette smoke from her mouth, the woman said as she looked at the gloomy view outside the window.

“You want me to do what, Ark?”

“For now, you just need to focus on training.”

“Training?” ask Aisha.

“Yes. Now you're a little blunt, so sharpen back your abilities. In addition, you will be given an evolution potion ration so that you can level up immediately.

After breaking the first boundary, you will train Angelica. The two of you will train together at the headquarters while continuing to increase your strength. At least, at least until you break the boundary to two. Having a body on par with the Sword of Sufferings warriors.

Moreover, from now on you will be considered dead. Everyone will pretend they don't know you. Let the outside world think that Aisha the Bone Spider died while fighting the Golden Maple Group.”

Without much ado, Ark instantly showed what Aisha needed to do now.

Aisha nodded lightly. He then glanced towards the Ark.

“The news of my death must have made quite a bit of a wave, but it was enough to make the conflict between the Golden Maple Group and the Cursed Berserkers start.

I'm really curious, Ark. Why are you targeting both groups? Do you have a grudge against them?”

“Not really.” Ark shook his head.

“Then what do you want from those two groups, Ark?”

“Enough, Aisha. It's not a gun's turn to talk. Whether to cut chicken, goat, cow, man, even vegetables .. sword will not say anything.”

Seeing the stern and cold expression on Ark's face, Aisha realized that she was too curious. He felt like he wanted to know what Ark wanted and what turned him into Ark right now.

In the end, Aisha simply nodded heavily while replying.

“Understanding.”

Ark also nodded lightly.

“Then you can go back to your room, Aisha. Get enough rest because you have experienced heavy days before.”

“Good.”

Aisha got up, then walked away leaving the room with a lazy expression on her face. Out of the room, the woman stared at the closed door while wondering in her heart.

‘What happened to you, Ark? It seems you have really changed.’

‘However, no matter which path you choose, I will follow you because this is my budding reply.’

Standing in front of the door for a while, Aisha then turned around to leave. Walking in the quiet and gloomy hallway without saying a word.
