Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 92: Worth only 1%!?
"Is that so? Explain to us how such a broken ability isn’t broken", Jade replied, not believing Emily at all.
"Firstly, the cooldown is one year, meaning I’m not different from everyone else during the cool down. Though it will get shorter the stronger I get, who knows if I’ll survive that long. Then, the need for a higher rank core from a bird-type beast. Meaning, right now, if I were to die and weren’t on a cool down, I’d need a Rank Three core while we don’t even know if there’s any around. And even if there are some Rank Threes around, do you think we can kill it?.....
.....Then there’s the issue of how I almost died for real during Muku’s incident. His power destabilised the space around the place, to the point some cracks appeared all around the place and I was almost sucked into one of them. Which means attacks that can affect space can kill me. If it wasn’t for his aura that froze me in place, I really would have died for real. After all that, you still think my skill is broken?" Emily explained the others covered their mouths in shock at what Emily went through. Elsa even held her hand a bit tighter.
"Yeah, that does sound super rough, but you have to admit, no matter what, a skill that can bring you back from the dead is broken no matter what" Jade acknowledged that Emily’s skill wasn’t as perfect as she thought. But still, it was the most broken skill they knew currently nonetheless; the others agreed as well.
"You say that, but you’ve got Beast Aura that can basically do anything and everything. On top of that, from what I noticed during your battle with the crow, you can control beasts if certain conditions are met. Do you think that’s not broken, especially in a beast apocalypse? Then there’s the devastating breath attack." Like Emily just said, Jade gained the ability to control beasts when she was berserk, which was what she needed to rank up. In normal cases, it won’t work on higher stages or rank beasts like the crow.
"Then there’s Hope, she can not only poison your body but your mind too. If she hadn’t poisoned the beast’s mind with fear, Jade wouldn’t have been able to take control of it. On top of that, she’s a great healer; how’s that not broken?" Emily didn’t wait for anyone to say anything before continuing. And she was correct again.
Hope can poison both your body and mind, and she could not only poison you into an angry state but other emotions like fear as well. Like Emily said, it was because she poisoned the crow into a fearful state along with Jade’s Beast Control that allowed the girls to beat it up without it fighting back. The combined attacks of the two had basically broken its mind. If it was just one of them who used their abilities on it, it would have broken out of the state after the first attack it received.
"Layla can ignore defence with an attack she can continuously use without stopping as long as she has the mana. Since she’s now a rank two, I think it’s safe to assume she can now enter the shadow realm where no one can harm her and wait for a chance to attack. Is that also not broken, especially considering how most beasts have strong defences?" Again, Emily spoke without waiting for anyone to say anything. Though, at this point, the others didn’t even want to speak, they were all shocked by how Emily was so aware of their abilities before they had spoken to anyone about it.
"And Chloe, she’s just perfect. How is it that there’s someone who can be a jack of all trades and still be so strong? She can fight close range and is even faster than Jade; her attack is also equal to, if not stronger than, Jade’s, with a stunning effect on top. Her long-ranged attacks are nothing I can compare with when dealing with single targets, especially when they are a sizable distance away.....
.....Not to mention that she can summon a lightning storm that can keep on spewing out concentrated lighting as long as she has the mana to support it. And she can resist Muku’s telekinesis, which not even Jade’s omnipotent Beast Aura can resist" Emily continued making her point, every time leaving the others with nothing to say. Chloe has also fulfilled the last step before she she evolved, which was to turn multiple lightning bolts from the clouds into one, instead of making them individually strike one spot. Which created a more devastating attack.
"Even Ms Audrey, the moment her mana comes into contact with your blood, you’re dead. And who can promise that they can finish a whole battle with her without getting at least scratched?" She didn’t say much about Audrey, but what she did say, was enough for everyone to understand how broken Audrey’s abilities were.
"Are you done?" Jade asked after Emily didn’t say anything for a few seconds. To which Emily nodded.
"So, are you going to tell us how you’re so informed on our abilities, the others like Layla, Chloe and Ms Audrey, we can understand since we all basically knew everything they could do. But as for how you knew about me gaining the ability to control beasts, and Hope’s mind poisoning that goes beyond making the target angry...." Jade finally asked what they all wanted to know.
"Oh, that, I guess it does seem a bit odd that I’m so informed. Well, it’s pretty simple actually. When I was a spirit, my mind was so clear, and my perception of things was way beyond anything anyone could imagine. All I needed was to look at what was happening for a few seconds to completely understand what was happening. That or Author-san’s is just using me to explain how everyone evolved. Either way, it doesn’t really matter as long as I know, right?"
"Hmm, sounds legit. Okay" Although felt that there was something wrong with what Emily said, she didn’t pursue it. Not to mention that if one really thought about it, it was possible to figure out everything Emily said about them. Like Jade’s class is a Beast Empress, so controlling beasts are to be expected. And if Hope can make you angry, she can also make you afraid, right?
"That reminds me, how many kill points did you all get for killing the Crow?" Emily remembered something and immediately asked the others.
"Oh, that...I don’t know. I didn’t pay attention to it at the time; I doubt anyone else did either," Jade replied, just like she said. She hadn’t paid attention to it at the time, and neither did the others so they were all clueless.
"Really?. Okay, I wanted to know if it was still the same as before" Emily spoke, a bit disappointed.
[Currently at 0.25% of Kill Points needed to reach Peak Rank Two]
Before the girls could reply to her, they received the prompt. It surprised them a bit since it was unexpected. But it was a pleasant surprise.
"Oh, who knew it would work" Layla’s low voice sounded in the room.
"Hmm?" Audrey beside her made an inquisitive sound.
"Oh, I just thought about wanting to know how many kill points I had acquired, and their prompt immediately rang out. I only have 0.25% of the needed amount" Layla explained herself, even mentioning the meagre amount she had
"Oh, it was your doing?. I didn’t know we could do that" Chloe spoke. She didn’t think about it like Layla did but still got the prompt.
"Then does this mean that when a kill is shared, if one person inquires about it, everyone gets a prompt?" Hope asked a rather rhetorical question since it was quite obvious.

"You all also got 0.25%!?" Jade inquired. To which the other three nodded.
"Which means a MR2 beast is only worth 1%!? What about a LR2 then!?" Jade asked with wide eyes. One has to understand that when they were Rank One, most LR1 beasts were worth around 2%. So this was definitely a shocking discovery.
"Maybe it just takes a lot more Kill Points to reach the peak of Rank Two" Layla shrugged. Although it would take a lot more work for them to reach the peak now, she wasn’t against it. She quite liked battling beasts after all.
"That’s likely it, I’m sure you’ve all noticed that it’s now calculated in percentages instead of just counting the number of beasts killed. Which I say is a lot more comprehensive than when it counted beasts when they didn’t provide fixed amounts of points" Chloe spoke, liking the new way of tracking progress. She also didn’t mind having to work harder to get to the peak.
"Tsk, why are you all so calm about this!?" Jade spoke in an annoyed tone after noticing that the others weren’t as lazy as she was.
"No wonder you’re a catgirl, you’re so lazy" Emily teased Jade for being so openly lazy.
"Whatever, I’m still going to get to the peak before you though," Jade said while rolling her eyes. How could Emily say something so negative about her catgirl form when it was so strong and cute!?. She’ll show her how great she was by reaching the peak first!
"Is that a challenge?" Emily asked with a smile. Se felt that with her current strength and her AOE attacks if she was thrown into a sea of beasts. She’ll come out as a Peak Rank Two within hours if they weren’t too strong, or she ran out of mana first. While Jade mostly had to attack a single target at a time.
"Yes, it is", Jade immediately responded; competitive sparks appeared between the two friends as they looked at each other with confident gazes.
The others just quietly looked on, but secretly they’d also try to be the first to reach the peak. Even Audrey wanted to be the first; she was the first to reach Rank 2, after all. So being beaten to the top would be quite embarrassing.
