Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 69: Battles!

A few minutes before Audrey’s breakthrough...

On Jade’s side, she was faced by two giant lizards stronger than the one she soloed before.

"Damn, just looking at them makes me angry". Jade spoke to herself as her eyes started glowing green. But she didn’t manage to access her berserk mode transformation. Maybe because her emotions weren’t strong enough, though she was pissed off non the less.

"Roar!". Before the beasts could do it, she roared first. Her roar sounded a lot like a tiger’s. As soon as the roar reached the beasts, they were stunned in place. Then Jade used her high quickly as she sped toward the beasts. She threw out a slap at one of them, and just as it was about to reach the beast’s face, her hand was covered by her beast aura that took the form of a giant tiger claw with long, sharp claws. She then took a swipe at the beast’s throat, ripping it off then did the same on the other one all within one second. By the time the stun effect wore off the beasts no longer had throats and choked on their own blood for a few seconds before dying. It was definitely a beastly way of fighting.

"Hmm, I sense a beast core in this one, lucky me!" She spoke to herself as she ripped the beast’s chest open and took out a core that glowed with a dirt brown colour.

She then looked around her with a proud expression on her face. She thought that she was the first to finish killing off her beasts, only to see Muku sitting on the head of a beast that had a crushed neck like the one beside it. They looked like they had been strangled to death.

{Okay how’s anyone supposed to fight that?.... I’m just glad we’re on the same side}. She thought to herself as she walked over.

The two then started watching the other battles...

...

Emily’s battle.....

Being a mage type with little improvement to her physical prowess, Emily was having a horrible time fighting the giant lizard. She had to always be on guard if she didn’t want to suddenly be skewered by the earth spikes. If it wasn’t because of Muku intervening in the beginning and moving her out of the way, she might already be dead.

Unluckily for her who thought he was going to finish the battle for her, he didn’t. He even looked away from her to signal his stance which made her smile wryly. How did he expect a mage like her to fight this thing that kept on erecting earth spikes wherever you stood?. And so, her struggles began....

The beast wasn’t giving her time to concentrate and cast her spells. Which she didn’t know was a problem until then; maybe that’s why Muku left her alone; she and Hope were the only ones in their group who couldn’t cast spells while moving. Which made her current situation a great learning opportunity.

Fortunately, after a while of struggling, she finally got the hang of it. Though she could only do the most basic spells for now.

"Flame burst barrage!!" She screamed while sending out one exploding fireball after the other at the lizard. The beast ignored her first few fireballs, but when they reached its scales and melted them away, it quickly switched from offence to defence. Instead of attacking with them, it now used the earth spikes as a wall between it and Emily.

Emily took it as a chance, she stopped in her tracks and prepared a strong spell.

"Hehehe you’re mine now, Burning heavens!". Emily’s crazy side leaked out a bit as she prepared her spell. As soon as she cast it, the sky above the lizard turned golden. Before the lizard could react, it was completely enveloped by the golden flames that suddenly appeared in the sky above it.

"Rooooar!". Just like anyone else in the situation, it roared in pain and tried to run away. But its eyes had already been burned, so it couldn’t see where it was going as it ran in a random direction. Unluckily for it, the flames weren’t burning out and persistently burned away its flesh. It was literally getting cooked alive. Jade, in the distance, couldn’t help but gulp down some saliva after her nose caught the scent of the beast. If Muku wasn’t beside her, she might have gone to rip off a chunk of the burning beast.

Whoosh! Stab!

A giant silver blade flew off from Muku’s direction and embedded itself into the beast’s head. The scene seemed a bit cruel in his eyes. Emily even looked at him with a grateful look in her eyes; she also didn’t want the beast to suffer so much. But she was helpless as its high defence was preventing the flame from killing it right away.

With her beast killed, Emily went to join Muku and Jade. Surprisingly, Hope was already there when she arrived. Meaning she finished her battle even faster than her.

...

Hope’s battle...

"Poisoned earth!"

Unlike Emily, she didn’t give the beast a chance to build momentum. As soon as she shouted the spell name, a dark green poisonous gas rose from the ground beneath her and the lizard. In a few seconds, they were completely enveloped. Not only could the lizard no longer see her, but it started to get dizzier each second that passed by as the poison made its way into its body. But it was far from getting killed by it.

"Well, this will take a while". Even though they were completely covered by the poisonous gas, unlike the lizard, Hope could see things clearly.

"I know!... Poison earth: next level!" The dark green poison turned even darker, now looking closer to black than green. As soon as the darker and stronger poison made its way into the beast’s body it immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground powerlessly. It died off soon after, its scales showing signs of having been corroded a bit, which showed how strong the poison was. So there was no way its internal organs could survive it.

After making sure it was dead, Hope cancelled her spell and walked toward Muku and Jade. Her face was a bit pale looking; it took quite a bit of her mana to increase the potency of her poison. Seeing how she was the third to finish, she was kind of proud of herself.

.....

Chloe’s battle...

"Should we tell her to be a bit more serious?". Emily asked the others she was with as they looked at Chloe’s battle. Unlike her, Chloe wasn’t having any trouble at all, the girl was actually playing around with the lizard instead of ending the battle.

"No, let her have her fun. It looks like she’s about to finish it off anyway". Muku replied with a little smile on his face.

From the beginning, Chloe didn’t have any trouble with dodging the earth spikes. After a while it kind of got fun for her, dodging them, stepping on them and propelling herself all over the place. Especially looking at the lizard that seemed helpless on how to catch her. Although she was having fun, she was also trying to get better control of her lightning so that she could fight all out without it destroying her clothes.

"Hmm, seems it’s about time I end it" She spoke to herself after seeing that four people had already finished their battles.

"Lightning blitz!" She shouted the name of her spell, and her already super-fast speed increased. She started circling the lizard at such a fast speed that all it could see was a blue lightning circle surrounding it, unable to see Chloe’s figure at all, until...

Whoosh! Bang! Boom!

Chloe suddenly broke away from the circle, and her tiny lightning-coated punch made contact with the beast’s chin, and its head exploded at the top of it. The lizard died on the spot, not even completely sure how it died.

"Wow, the lightning punch worked even better than when I first used it!. I’m really getting stronger huh. Though I still have some work to do with my control". Chloe was extremely happy with her current abilities, but when she looked down at her clothes, her happiness was greatly reduced. Although the situation wasn’t as exaggerated as last time when she was left completely naked, her current clothes managed to hold on. Just that they were left looking like rags with many holes on them and there was a lot of smoke coming out of them. But at least everything that should be hidden was still hidden.

She immediately wanted to ask Layla to make a dome for her to change in, but surprisingly, Layla was still in battle. She could only swallow her embarrassment and ask Muku, who happily helped her.

...

Layla’s battle...

She was perplexed, with her strength, she should have been able to kill the two lizards in less than a minute. But for some reason, she could penetrate their defence. Even considered using her shadow charge, but remembering how it would cause a commission as well as leave her drained, she decided against it and continued to trade spikes with them. She just assumed that maybe they were some sought of unreasonably tough variants.

What she didn’t know was that the reason why she couldn’t penetrate their scales was because Muku was secretly defending them with his telekinesis at the last moment. Not because he wanted to mess with Layla, but because of Audrey. He knew that as soon as Layla finished her battle, she would kill off Audrey’s lizard, which wouldn’t be good for Audrey’s growth. Especially then when he could vaguely sense that she was close to a breakthrough. Though there was no way he would have guessed that she was going to jump straight onto Rank Two from PR1.

And so, Audrey broke through, Muku killed off Layla’s beasts and they made their getaway. No one even found out what he had been doing, though Jade, who had been sitting with him for the longest time, had her doubts. But knowing how it could lead to spanking if she spoke up, she didn’t dare say anything...
