Apocalypse Regression's

More Than Expected

Ark felt as if he was floating in the void. His body fell gently on the black mud pit. The young man lay there in silence.

'Why should I do this? Repeat all this suffering?'

Looking at the dark sky where many eyes of various shapes and sizes were staring at him, the young man simply wore a hollow expression. It's completely numb.

Just then, many black hands emerged from the mud puddle. Grabbing all parts of his body. Pull him down, try to drown him.

'I'm honestly tired. I no longer want to do these kinds of things. Wouldn't it be better to end it all immediately if it had the same ending?'

Thinking of this, Ark slowly closed his eyes. However, before eyes closed completely, the young man roared.

"THAT'S RIGHT!!!"

"THE REASON I'M BACK IS TO BEAR THE BURDEN AND GIVE PEOPLE HOPE!"

"TO PREVENT THOSE WORTHY OF LIFE FROM DYING!"

"TO BE A SINNER WHO JUDGES OTHER SINNERS!"

"TO SURVIVE, HANG ON WITHOUT FALLING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FOOD CHAIN!"

"TO ATONE FOR ALL THE SINS I HAVE COMMITTED!"

"LIVE! KEEP LIVING! KEEP FIGHTING!"

"I ONCE PROMISED THAT ..."

"AKU—"

***

Under the curtain of night.

The black body was filled with slightly vibrating cracks. The cracks after the cracks are closing back. Black color creeps into the heart. The pure white body returned as it was.

The white color turns red like a heated metal. Droplets upon droplets of water falling on it instantly evaporated, becoming a puff of smoke.

Featuring a strange sight, a thick puff of smoke in the heavy rain.

Cracks! Cracks! Cracks!

The sound of cracks was heard. The figure finally forced itself to rise. His skin began to crack and bleed, but it soon closed. Cracked, closed, cracked, closed. Keep repeating the same thing.

"ARK!!!"

Jay who arrived at the location late was stunned in his place. As he and Ark headed in the opposite direction to search the area Lisa was patrolling, the two were far apart.

Jay could barely see the humanoid figure standing up as a puff of smoke enveloped him. But a pair of blue eyes that light up and look calm has made the man sure that the person is his best friend.

Glancing towards the lifeless body of the Abyssal Shadow Lynx, Jay finally understood.

His best friend was now in the process of absorbing Miracle Root!

Despite knowing what happened, the puff of smoke and the sound of cracks that continued to sound made Jay feel uncomfortable. However, he did not dare to interfere at all for fear of being fatal. In the end, the man was watching the surrounding area.

Make sure that nothing interferes with the Miracle Root absorption process that Ark does!

A few hours just passed. The rain became light. The young man who had been silent had finally made a move.

"Nurp ..."

Opening his mouth, hot smoke was exhaled from his mouth. Ark stepped forward, making the sound of bone rustling. After relaxing his limbs with a light movement, the young man was silent with an expression full of surprise.

'Is this what is called a blessing in misfortune?

Nah! I have to make sure everything is real. Come back soon to test!'

By the time Ark had a lot of thoughts in his brain, Jay's voice was resuscitating him.

"Is that really you, Ark?"

Hearing that question, Ark tilted his head.

"If not?"

"Huh! Thank goodness! Although the appearance is different, it's still you."

Jay took a long breath. He looked towards the Ark with a astonished expression.

Ark's appearance is still pretty much the same. Only, the young man became taller. Her hair is rather long. His skin turned pale white, but it was still as firm and firm as before. The young man's nails were black with a purplish luster. The color of the eyes is the same.

Seeing the astonished look on Jay's face, Ark extended his right hand. Just then, his five nails turned into five black-colored curved claws. It looks so strong and sharp!

"Don't this look cool?" ark said when returning the nail in its original form.

The look of astonishment on Jay's face suddenly turned into excitement. He looked at his best friend and said.

"If you absorb the tiger sword teeth to be like that, could it be if the girl—"

"No! Please stop! Girl with ears and tail like a cat .. there is no such thing!"

Ark interrupted Jay. He knew exactly what his best friend was thinking. Humans usually absorb Miracle Root with powerful skills. Even if there is a change in the body, it is usually a change in body parts that can be used as a self-protection weapon.

Cute girl with cat ears and tail? Selling priesthood? There's no such thing!

"Ughhh!"

Jay held onto his chest which felt tight. The hope that had just bloomed was completely instantly dashed. Not only was it destroyed, but it was instantly trampled to the point of disappearing in nothingness.

"Harem cat girl! Why can't this man's dream come true!"

Jay held his head while shouting in a desperate tone.

"Forget the harem kingdom or the cat girl, help me bring this back to headquarters!"

Ark interrupted Jay. It gives him absolutely no room to regret what he does not need to regret.

"Ughh! Alright."

Gazing towards his friend who was so cruel, Jay could only sigh deeply. Helped carry the body of the Abyssal Shadow Lynx with a bitter feeling in her heart.

Arriving at the headquarters, the two were completely taken aback.

Some are happy, but some are sad. Perhaps that sentence was suitable for the events that happened this time.

While Ark made it through the misfortune and achieved an unexpected result, Lisa grieved instead. The girl was rescued. Merely, the antidote for the poison was not very useful against the powerful poison of the Abyssal Shadow Lynx.

Like Ark who almost died from the poison before. Lisa, who was treated a little late, eventually lost both legs. More precisely, the nerves of his feet could not be moved. He was paralyzed and unable to walk.

It could be considered lucky since he was still alive. But it is also considered unlucky because it must be paralyzed, no longer able to walk.

"Are you okay, Lisa?" ask Jay.

"Thank you for the Chairman's help. My life is truly saved."

Lisa replied with a relaxed expression. It doesn't seem so depressed at all.

Seeing the sad faces of his comrades, Ark shook his head before saying.

"You don't have to be sad. Especially you, Lisa. That's not a problem at all. It's all just temporary.

What needs to be done is to change the evolutionary route. Rather than imitating Abigail, what should you do now is the same as Vadim. Waiting for a suitable regeneration-type Miracle Root.

That way, you should be able to walk normally. There's no need to be afraid of not being able to walk the rest of your life."

Ark's speech made people aware. They look relieved. No longer as disappointed and sad as before.

Although this world has gone mad, there are also many opportunities behind all the difficulties!

There is nothing absolute!

***

Three days later, in Ark's room.

"Who would have thought, four skills from the Abyssal Shadow Lynx and one additional skill that appeared due to being forced to evolve while absorbing poison."

Sitting in his chair, Ark who had tested everything in three days was astonished. He had actually obtained four skills from the Abyssal Shadow Lynx, which should only be three.

First, Shadow Mimicry. Ark could unite itself in the darkness undetected. This was complete with a silent move from the Abyssal Shadow Lynx.

Second, natural poison. Ark can remove powerful toxins from claws or teeth. Of course, this can be controlled. Can be combined with the fashion of changing the shape of the nail into a claw. More research is needed to find other combinations.

Third, the improvement of all attributes is temporary. It doesn't need to be explained much. This skill is similar to Jay's first skill.

Lastly, night vision. Ark could see in the dark more clearly. Makes him better at night. Not a special skill, but definitely very useful.

In addition to the four skills, the deadly poison of the Abyssal Shadow Lynx made Ark obtain another skill unintentionally, namely poison immunity.

After testing it, Ark was completely immune to low-grade poisons. It even had quite good resistance with powerful poisons like the poison of the Abyssal Shadow Lynx. Yes, although it cannot completely resist the poison.

So, you could say ...

The harvest this time was truly more than expected!
