Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 204: Mana GPS?!
"Oh... But still, I'm so jealous. Even if there's the use of outside mediums, it's still part of your strength. After all, you're the one manipulating it" Elsa spoke.
She still didn't feel any better. No matter what the details were. As long as Freya could use that power. Then it was her's even if she didn't acknowledge it.
"Well... If you put it like that. But still, I can only use it around the mansion otherwise I'm really just average with my second-hand plant magic" Freya compromised in her reply. That way, both their sides would become valid.
"Oh, by the way... Is that all? I'm not saying that I'm disappointed or anything. I just want to know so that I can prepare my heart if there's more..." Muku spoke after Elsa returned to her quiet state.
"Well, there are two more things for now. However, one of them which is a barrier around the mansion needs something called a barrier stone. Which we don't have. I don't even know what it looks like. Hopefully, we'll come across it someday" Freya replied with a slightly disappointed look on her face.
She also wanted to see what the barrier would look like. She only had the general information that came with her class. So, while she had an idea of how the barrier would look like and had seen barriers in real life. She wanted to see one around their mansion.
"Oh, it's like that? Well, such is life. We can only hope then... What about the other thing?" Muku also felt disappointed about not getting the barrier.
However, he didn't hang on to the disappointment. There was nothing they could do about it after all. He chose to focus on the other thing. From her words, it seemed that it was on the table. Which was great.
"Let's go back inside for this one..." Freya directed everyone back inside. She was really good at holding out on the surprises. Not letting even a single word slip.
Soon they were back inside. Everyone looked at Freya curiously. They were trying to guess what she was about to do. However, nothing came to mind. Her actions weren't hinting at anything they could guess.
She just stood there with her eyes closed. They could sense a thin layer of mana spreading from the mansion to the surroundings. The layer went even further than the limit of their senses. For that reason, they couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, no one interrupted her. They just patiently let her do her thing. They were bound to find out soon enough anyway.
A few later, Freya finally opened her eyes. She was still very tired. Without the beast cores doing all the heavy lifting. She would have definitely fainted a long time ago.
"Mana GPS" Freya called out. The moment she did. A mini version of the mansion along with the area within five kilometres appeared in front of the group. It looked like a full-colour holographic image. It was a literal recreation of every physical thing in that area.
The areas with higher mana concentrations were shown by a brighter colour than the surroundings. The brightest area was the mansion for obvious reasons.
If Freya was stronger and had R3 beast cores. They might have been able to cover another five kilometres and be able to see the NL Base.
"Luckily I prepared my heart" Muku spoke while looking on in awe. Freya had been reinforcing the correctness of his decision to take her every day. And on that day she definitely got rid of any questions anyone might have had about her usefulness. She did so with a big bang.
She herself could feel that she had finally done something that only she could do. While it was apparent from the start that such a thing was inevitable. Finally being able to do it, still felt amazing.
She could finally feel more at ease in the group. Now, even if she didn't count Iris' various advantages to the group. She could confidently say that she was enough.
"What's that?" Jade spoke suddenly when everyone was still revelling in the hologram.
The others instantly looked at the area she was pointing to. It took a little effort for some to notice it. This was because there were a lot of details on the 2.5 square metre holographic image.
What Jade was pointing at were various humanoid shapes. Of course, such a thing wouldn't be worth noting. However, there weren't supposed to be humans around that area. Especially inside trees.
That's right, there were people hiding inside trees. Obviously spies, likely sent by Abel again. They were only discovered because humans were made to stand out on the holo image no matter what.
Of course, the effect was weaker on weak people. This was why they had been missed by everyone. Even Audrey who didn't lose much to Jade's senses missed them.
If not for the coincidence, it was a really smart move. They were outside the detection range of everyone at the mansion. On top of that, Jade and Audrey wouldn't be able to find them even if they looked around for them because their auras were weak and mimicked the trees somehow. Unless maybe the spies looked at them. Which they likely knew not to do.
The plan worked so well, that Muku's group didn't even know how long the spies had been there. A disturbing part of the event was how they kept on discovering more after seeing the first few. It was like a puzzle coming together after figuring out one key step.
The group had found twenty spies by the time they were done. The spies were suspiciously placed in every direction of the mansion. So, they were actually surrounded.
The spies were too far away to do any significant spying. So, the major reason they were there was probably to notify whoever sent them the moment Muku's group left. If they decided to do so.
The large numbers were likely to ensure that the message was received no matter what. Realising such a thing made the expressions of everyone turn serious.
It seemed someone cared about them more than they thought. After all, it was so close to the World Evolution(WE) yet someone still felt the need to send out spies instead of concentrating their power in preparation for whatever was to come.
"What should we do now? They probably saw the mansion's upgrade as well as the beam attack" Emily was the first one to speak.
She felt like whoever sent the spies had gone too far. Which was a sentiment everyone likely echoed. Sending so many people was a clear sign of bad intentions.
"Yeah, you're right. I bet the message has already been sent back. As for what to do now?... Well, that's obvious" Muku replied as his aura began rising.
It was clear to the girls that he was pissed. He had been nice enough to send back the first spy. Yet they still dared send so many? Whether it was Abel or someone else this time. It didn't matter. He won't let the blatant disrespect go that time around.
"Jade, Layla. Let's take care of them" Muku spoke as he walked out.
He called out to the two girls in his group he was sure were prepared to end their enemies without lingering emotions. The time for civility was over.
Especially with his ranked-up team and their superior classes. He was certain that they could already take care of most LR3s with their current strength.
He wasn't worried about there being someone stronger than that. After all, rank three beasts were still rarer than diamonds. Not to mention that the one he killed only gave him 0.1% KP. This meant that one would need to kill ten of them for just one percent.
Which was practically impossible in the current world. Maybe after the WE, stronger people with MR3 strength and above would appear. But, that was a future thing. In the present, LR3s were the peak!
"I've been looking for a way to vent" Jade spoke as she followed behind Muku. She had been looking for a way to completely shake off her current mood. And it seemed she had found it...
Layla didn't say anything. She just quietly followed behind the two. Clearly in agreement. The others looked on. They had mixed emotions on the matter.
They all understood what Muku and the other two were going to do. It was something they were too scared to do. So, seeing their teammates seemingly finding it so easy to make up their minds about it. It felt weird to them.
However, they didn't say anything. They all understood that it was something that had to be done. Even Chloe was in support of the plan. Despite the possibility that the spies could have been sent by her father. Her father was under the control of a major enemy so she was okay with going against him.
The world had changed after all. One could no longer show weakness. There was no law be order to rely on. Only showing your strength could protect your interests.
Muku and the two girls went their separate ways soon after exiting the mansion gates.
Muku flew at an ultra-fast speed that broke the sound barrier just from his take-off alone.
Jade ran in another direction at a speed that also broke through the sound barrier.
Layla took advantage of the morning shadows cast by the long vegetation in the area. She Melted into the shadows as she also made her way to her targets.
The spies weren't paying close attention to the mansion to avoid detection. Which made them take a little time to notice what was going on.
They only noticed Muku and Jade since Layla was moving through the shadows.
However, by the time they noticed Muku and Jade. The two were already upon them.
Their chances of escaping were minimal at best...
