Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 87: Spineless Jumper!

Soon after, they reached the silos. It took a bit of effort to remove the rubble on top, but eventually, they did and loaded all the trucks. Muku’s powers could have made the whole process easy and quick, but Jack refused the aid saying that they’d feel too useless if they allowed him to deal with this as well.

"Now that that’s taken care of, let me lead you to the area where the unranked beasts reside. Though I’m pretty sure you can already sense it" Jack engaged Muku’s group in a conversation to address the other part of the deal. It was time to lead them to the unranked beasts nest.

"Sure, but I’m curious, how are you so informed about this area? No offence but I don’t think you could have made it here without us," Muku replied and asked a question plaguing his whole team. And with good reason too. The brown wolf wasn’t the only Half-step R2 beast they came across to get there, and it alone was enough to wipe out Jack’s group.

"Oh, none taken. Although it kinda stings to hear, indeed, my team and I couldn’t have made it here on our own. That’s where my friend here comes in; he has a rare class called "Jumper". It has zero combat ability, but he can teleport a whole kilometre forward. Which makes him perfect for scouting missions" Jack said while casually grabbing a thin young man who was passing by behind him.

"Oh, no wonder, what an interesting ability", Muku replied, truly impressed; so what if he couldn’t even kill a fly? He didn’t need to. He could just disappear from the scene if it bothered him, and even with its annoying speed, it wouldn’t be able to catch up and bug him more.

"Yeah, and if your group wasn’t around, we were planning on using him to scout ahead and then take appropriate detours when necessary. Though that would not have only consumed more time, it would have also had a high-risk factor with an equally high chance of completely blowing up in our faces and killing us all if an anomaly occurred. So we’re really happy that your group joined us. I know we have barely managed to not drag you all down, let alone help. So thank you for tolerating us" Jack explained to Muku what their initial plan was.

And honestly, he was right about the chance of success having been low. The previous time the jumper came to scout, the wolf pack was nowhere close by. Just like most of the beasts, Muku’s group took care of on the way. This made Jack’s group realise how naive they really were to think they could have succeeded with their weak strength. Luckily they realised before it was too late.

"There’s no need to be grateful; we’re in a cooperation. And I don’t think the Jumper is as weak as you think he is....well he is, but he has the potential to be a great assassin" Muku waved off Jack’s appreciation and moved back to the Jumper.

"That’s where the problem is, sadly he’s a wimp, he dares not get too close to a beast ever since he almost died when he killed his last one to get to Rank One" Jack replied with a wry smile, he also knew that the Jumper could be a great assassin, but the guy didn’t want to get too close to beasts.

"Oh, no wonder he was hiding behind Ms Sarah before; I thought he was her guard or something", Muku spoke with a look of realisation on his face. He and his group then looked at the Jumper with an odd look in their eyes. They felt like he was wasting the potential of a decent class.

As for the Jumper himself, although he was internally complaining about them gossiping about him in his presence, he didn’t say anything. Just stood there with a face red from embarrassment since everything Jack said was true. But even the he refused to ever get too close to a beast that isn’t at least extremely injured, even if he’s beaten to death, he won’t do it!

"Well, at least he is useful in some other ways, right?" Muku said with a shrug, choosing to look at the positive side of things.

"I guess so..." Jack said while pushing the Jumper back so he could go rejoin the others. They had been talking while walking to the unranked beasts.

"So that’s them huh?" Muku asked a rhetorical question while they hid behind a pile of rubble and observed a nest of unranked mice. They had made burrows through some rubble of a large building and were using it as a nest.

"Yeah, that’s them" Despite knowing that it was a rhetorical question, Jack responded anyway.

"So Emily, what now?" Muku asked Emily beside him.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Emily didn’t understand the question.

"I mean, should we just get ten of them, beat them half to death, and age finishes them off, or should we do it one by one? If it’s one by one, we can great a ring for the two to fight, which will give Elsa some battle experience." Muku explained what he meant. He was asking whether Emily wanted to baby-feed Elsa or let her suffer a bit like they did, which would make her stronger in the end.

"Oh, that’s what you meant. Well, although I’d like to baby-feed her. I know that’s not good for her in the long run, so let’s do it one by one." Emily made her decision. Hearing her, Elsa looked at the one-metre-tall mouse and was a bit unwilling, but she also realised that it was what she needed to do to get stronger, so she didn’t refuse.

"Good choice, let me set everything up then,", Muku said while looking in the direction of the mice; then one of them floated over under the surprised and curious gaze of the others. But since they weren’t too smart, they didn’t follow it to see what was happening. They continued loitering around the place after looking at their floating companion briefly.

"Wow, so convenient" Jack commented as he witnessed everything happening in front of his eyes.

Muku just smiled and continued doing what he was doing. He then created a ring with his metal element. It was about twenty meters wide, and a bit over a metre tall. He placed the mouse inside. Then handed Elsa a silver sword and an axe just for the nostalgia of it. Before she could say anything, she found herself on the opposite side of the mouse.

"Get it little Elsa! I’ll give you that laptop you’ve been eyeing if you get it!" Muku immediately started cheering for Elsa excitedly. He was so enthusiastic about it to the point that Emily wondered if he was Elsa’s real sibling while she was a fake.

"Yeah!, Elsa! Go!" Soon Jade joined in, even more enthusiastically than Muku.

Soon, Emily, who didn’t want to be left behind as long as the others, excluding Layla and Jack, were cheering for Elsa like mad people. Jack smiled wryly, to think these crazy weirdos were a lot stronger than him. Even Layla covered her face with her eyes from embarrassment at knowing them. Luckily, other than Jack, there was no one else around, and Muku had created a sound barrier around them, or she might have died from embarrassment.

Elsa was exasperated by the behaviour of the idiots. Normally it was only her older sister who was so excitable, but now there was a whole bunch of them. Although outwardly she gave them an annoyed look, internally, she was happy; even the nervousness she was feeling was greatly reduced. She grabbed the two weapons in her hands tightly and focused her attention on the mouse that hadn’t moved till now despite looking like it couldn’t wait to tear her apart. She figured Muku must have been holding it back.

"Squeak" The mouse squeaked loudly and sped toward Elsa. She was briefly startled by the charging beast but quickly realised that it wasn’t as quick as she thought it would be. She easily dodged to the side and slashed at its side. A large gash immediately appeared and blood flowed out, dying the beast’s fur in the area red.

"Squeak!" The mouse squeaked both in pain and anger, but there was nothing it could do. And so, the battle continued like that, the mouse would lunge forward, Elsa would dodge and slash it again. She became more daring after a while and started using the axe, which she used to finish it off by burying it into the mouse’s head.

[Condition for evolution met. Kill nine more unranked beasts to reach Rank One and acquire specialisation]

The prompt familiar to most but unfamiliar to Elsa sounded in her head. She had finally taken her first step to getting stronger.

"She’s good" Jack commented with some amazement in his voice. The way she dealt with it, her strength. She seemed way too strong for a little girl. Did just being in Muku’s group make you weird?

"Hidden attributes" Layla spoke up, only saying two words that confused Jack but were familiar to everyone else.

"I didn’t know they’d make such a difference," Emily said with a hint of surprise in her voice. Elsa was a lot stronger than her and most of the girls in the group when they began. It seems eating all that meat really helped a lot. The others were also presently surprised.

"Sorry, but what are you all talking about?" Jack couldn’t hold back his curiosity and finally asked. Though it always made him feel like a country bumpkin whenever they talked about something he didn’t know and he had to ask. How was this fair? Didn’t they all experience the apocalypse for the same amount of time?. Why were they so much more knowledgeable than him then!?.
