Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 128: Muku versus The Ant Queen

"What’s happening over there?" Audrey asked after he took the girls back to the sidelines where she was.

The stadium women and Elsa were also there. They didn’t back up more since the area was still stable, unlike the battle site. Which was still shaking and cracking, accompanied by the loud Ant screech.

"Oh, that?... That’s nothing. Just the ant boss none of you sensed despite coming here so many times. Hell, none of you even considered the fact that ants always have a queen. Even if they are alien ants, it’s something you should have kept in mind" Muku replied to her calmly.

But they could all see that he was taking the moment to lecture them. None of them could look him in the eye since all of them had overlooked it. They had let their strength cloud their eyes.

Which was understandable since they had yet to meet any other human who was even close to being as strong as them. That wasn’t on their team. With such realisation, they all felt rather ashamed of themselves.

Despite knowing that they weren’t really that strong compared to the strongest beasts out there. They still somehow let their guard down. It’s like they just assumed that any strong opponent would appear with an obvious sign. Like a scary aura, easily noticeable aura, or something like that.

"Umm... So how are going to deal with it" Audrey asked after a little moment of silence. While Ashe felt quite ashamed, she had to suck it up as things weren’t looking too pretty. She could tell that whatever was appearing out of the group wasn’t going to be easy to take care of.

"You aren’t going to do anything. None of you are. I’ll take care of this myself. Here, take her" Muku replied while handing her the unconscious Jade.

"Can you do it alone though?" Audrey asked again, this time with some worry in her voice.

"Hmm...who knows. If I can’t, then you can join me. But if the battle doesn’t seem like something we can handle even if we join hands. We’ll make a break for it" Muku replied before flying away. Not waiting for them to say anything else.

The girls could only worriedly look at him at that point. They wanted to fight with him but chose not to go against him in the end. After all, he did say they could help him if things became dicey. So they will just do that.

.....

"SKRRRR!"

BOOM!

Finally with a little screech from whatever was coming out of the earth. The ground exploded and then it emerged.

Its emergence killed most of the ants that were present in the area. It seemed like the soil around the area had an effect that suppressed its overwhelming aura. The moment it left the ground, the unparalleled aura came crashing down on everything in the area. Enjoy new adventures from novelbuddy

Only a few PR1 and Half-step R2 ants survived. The others were all wiped out in their thousands under their mad mother’s aura.

"Oh... So that’s why you didn’t come out. Though I suppose it makes sense you’d have such a weakness when you can create such a large army for yourself. It would have been absurd if you could do whatever you wanted as well" Muku spoke calmly while looking at the huge monstrosity that had just destroyed its kingdom by just appearing.

His voice might have seemed calm, but he was very nervous inside. The thing he was looking at was at least 25 metres tall after all. Just its aura was enough to shake his mana stability to the point that he couldn’t fly too high.

With just that. Even without the IA notifying him what rank it was. He could easily tell that the monster in front of him was definitely at the peak of Half-step R3.

"Strong opponents are fine and all... But did you have to be so strong??. Going by the script, shouldn’t you have only been a little stronger than me??" Muku nervously added as the huge red eyes that were way bigger than him stared at him, radiating anger.

And he wasn’t the only focus. It was also looking at the girls behind him from time to time. The Ant Queen was really pissed off. It could take them killing her weakest soldiers. But to kill her best as well??

On top of that. By causing it to appear, they basically wiped out the rest of its colony. Nothing but blood could return the favour. Maybe even that wasn’t enough. Even then, it would at least kill and eat them all to ease its anger a bit.

"SKRRRR!"

Whoosh!

The ant screeched again. This time the screech was accompanied by a beam of white energy that flew out of its mouth. The beam reached Muku before anyone could even blink.

"Oh shit! I thought they were physical types!?" Muku screamed out with slight fear in his voice as he barely managed to dodge the beam attack.

Bang!

Boom!

While he was still thinking about the beam. The huge ant queen moved at an unreasonable speed. It swiped at him and struck him down. He crushed onto the ground before he knew it.

The girls who were looking on from a distance screamed in fear and surprise. None of them expected such a thing to happen. Luckily, Muku flew up from the ground again before they did something stupid.

"Cough, cough! Well damn! I almost died there" Muku spoke to himself while looking at the dented armour that he had managed to cast on himself at the last moment.

He suspected that the only reason he even survived was because the ant didn’t use all its strength. Which wasn’t because it was holding back. But his positioning in the sky didn’t allow it to. Otherwise, the battle would have been over just like that.

"Okay, turn now.... Sword Rain!" Muku stopped playing around and focused on the fight. He finally realised that the Ant Queen was every bit as strong as it appeared to be. He couldn’t afford to be playful.

As soon as he cast the spell. Thousands of swords appeared in the sky above the Ant Queen. They then flew down, targeting its leg joints.

It was easy to guess that its defence was even stronger than the peak-rank ones. So he decided to target the joints where the defence would be weaker.

Clang! Clang! Clang!....

Unfortunately, even they were too strong for his blades to cut through...

"Tough guy huh?... Okay. King’s Blade!" Muki wasn’t disheartened as he dodged another swipe and transitioned into his next spell. A huge blade that was around ten metres long and five metres thick appeared above the ant. It then stabbed down at its neck.

Clang!

And it, too, failed to do anything...

"Freaking cheater! I’ll show you my greatest skill then!" Muku finally gave up on relying on his blades to fight the Ant Queen. His spells just weren’t strong enough.

Their difference was just too large. The ant was an inch away from Rank Three while he hadn’t even reached the peak of Rank Two.

His eyes started glowing silver and the air in the air felt slightly heavier. Everyone could feel it, the little hairs on their bodies stood still. He was finally about to use his bloodline in battle!

Which would be a lot different from when he was demonstrating it to the girls. As for whether it would be as strong it was the first time it was used. It was yet to be known. The girls all looked on with bated breath.

Even the Ant Queen felt something was wrong. It suddenly started feeling a little crisis when everything was okay a few seconds before.

"Die...Hmm?" Muku, who was about to activate his bloodline ability and end it, noticed something at the corner of his eye. He, of course, looked.

And it turned out to be a little golden ape with red energy coming out of it. There was even a smirk on its mouth as it flew toward him. Which, of course, was rather weird and confusing to him. Prompting the confused sound.

"No, YOU DIE HUMAN!"

An unexpected but familiar voice sounded from its mouth. A ball of red energy formed in its hands, which it then fired at Muku.

Bang!

It was so fast he couldn’t dodge. It completely hit its target. The force knocked him out of the sky toward the girls who were screaming hysterically.

Boom!

"Hehe... You dared go against me, the great Ares, and even kill my soul fragment and expect to live?" That’s right, the little ape was Ares. Another one of his avatars to be accurate. It might not have even been as strong as Mest, but it was perfect for ambushes, which it just proved.

The Ant Queen looked at the little ape that was weirdly fading then at Muku. It repeated this action a few times before making a break for it.

While it could take on Muku easily if he didn’t use that weird ability he was about to use. It knew that it definitely couldn’t mess with the little ape despite how weak it seemed. So it immediately fled the scene. It could create a new ant nest somewhere else after all.

Not to mention that its huge body was energy inefficient, so it needed to find a spot to rest. Which was another reason it wasn’t willing to move. Even when its soldiers were getting killed daily.

"Listen up human females. I’m not done with you at all. He was just an appetizer. I will end you all one by one!" Ares’ avatar spoke one last statement before completely fading away.

The little body he hijacked just couldn’t support his soul for long. Even if it was again a tiny little fragment of it. Though this time he didn’t mind much as he had managed to take care of Muku before time ran out.
