Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 60: Glimpse into the Queen’s power!

"Do you think you can take it?" Muku asked Audrey who was now also looking at the approaching MR1 spider.

"I’m not sure, but I want to try". Audrey replied with a resolute look on her beautiful face. She also didn’t seem to mind Muku calling her so casually... well he was technically her master now after all.

"Good". Muku responded with a smile on his face. The girls just looked on, Layla was a bit nervous though, her mother was still at 98 KN after all. So she was like the earliest of Rank One, while the spider was a strong Mid Rank. This fight would have been difficult for even the best of them under such conditions.

"Kssss!"

The spider roared insectly as it charged forward after seeing then.

(A/N: Hahaha "insectly"...so what if it’s not a word, as long as you get the point right? Hahaha)

"Haa!" Audrey screamed as she ran forward to meet the spider.

"Quite unexpectedly bold of her actually, based on her previous way of doing things. She really wanted to change it seems." Muku said while the girls nodded in agreement.

Clank!

Audrey attacked the spider’s leg as soon as she reached, maybe trying to throw it off it’s balance. But sadly it appears she was still too weak to break through its defense and barely left a scratch on its exoskeleton. But Audrey didn’t give up, she kept on at it, attacking and dodging, opting to wear down the spider since she couldn’t brute force it like everyone else. The others offered to help after ten minutes when Audrey s breath got a bit laboured from the constant running around and dodging. The spider’s silk attack really gave her quite some trouble.

"How unyielding!, so cool!". Hope said while looking at Audrey’s battle with keen interest. The others thought so as well, they felt that they might have already asked for help after half the time.

"I agree, and this might be perfect for her actually, it accelerates the rate at which she gets familiar with her abilities as well as figure out her preferred battle style." Muku said with a nod. Unbeknownst to all, he had been keeping any beasts that can their way at bay as to not disturb Audrey. The power of a Half-step was basically the same as a god at the current stage of the apocalypse. He could sense everything within a city block quite clearly and smack it with his telekinesis. Could have even killed them but that would be a waste of resources in his opinion.

"Yeah, and is it just me who thinks she might have a lot more stamina than even Jade?". Emily added, she was slowly getting over the incident after realising that she wasn’t the first nor the only one he’d seen naked after all. If Chloe could play it off, she can also do the same.

"Hey!, I just never got the chance to fight long battles okay!". Jade quickly defended herself, though internally she also felt that she wouldn’t have been able to fight so long at Audrey’s current stage. Maybe it was because of her vigorously blood due to her vampire class?.

"Freeze!" Suddenly their conversation was halted by Audrey’s shout. Then something surprising happened. The large spider actually stopped moving and froze in place after her shout.

"Wha!?". Hope exclaimed in surprise.

"So she..." Muku spoke before he was cut off by Layla.

"Had a plan after all" Who finished his sentence.

Their are the only ones in the group who were laser focused on Audrey’s battle. So they had noticed how everytime she managed to cut through the beast’s exoskeleton she’d send a bit of her mana into its body.

They were wondering what she was doing that as from their experiences, foreign mana is usually attacked and eliminated as soon as it makes it’s way into another’s body if the person or beast is unwilling and strong enough. This beast was definitely strong enough and unwilling so what she was doing seemed like a waste of time, but they didn’t say anything, wanting to see what she was up to. People had different abilities after all. Then....

"Blood explosion!!". Audrey called out.

Boom!

"Ahh!". And she was also the first one to sceam after seeing the result. Spider body parts flew everywhere. If not for Muku, Audrey would have been painted in spider blood by then.

[94 kills left....]

"Well, that was quite...." Muku began speaking and again was interrupted.

"Gory?". This time it was Hope. Hearing her everyone else looked at the approaching Audrey hoping she didn’t hear her or she might relapse. To their dismay, Audrey likely did hear it, as observed from her wryly smile. Now they were at a loss of what to say to Audrey. Layla was even glaring at Hope a bit, who quickly hid behind Muku. But she didn’t do anything else, after all, what Hope said was the truth, she herself even thought that way.

"Don’t worry, I won’t cower away again, I promised to do what needed to be done and I still stand by my words. So don’t look at Hope like that Layla, she didn’t say anything wrong". Audrey said with a normal smile this time after arriving in front of the group.

"Oh and Jade, I found something for you, I heard you can eat this?". Audrey said, holding out her hand, on it, there was a beast core.

"Woah, these things are rare, are you sure you want to give it to me?" Jade asked though she has already snatched the core from Audrey’s hand leaving everyone speechless at her lack of sincerity.

"Yes, not like I can use it after all". Audrey replied with a smile, already used to Jade’s personality.

"I wonder what you’ll get from this....wait, will you be able to shoot webs out of your butt like the spider did?" Hope asked with curiosity. Hearing her Muku couldn’t help but sneaker, though honestly he and the girls also wondered the same, it was the only ability the spider seemed to have after all.

Hearing Hope’s question, Jade who was about to consume the core froze with her mouth open. She quickly closed her mouth and held out the core to Audrey a spoke.

"You know what, I change my mind, I can’t take something that’s yours. Also, I’m pretty sure you can use it to recover your mana.". Jade hastily spoke, seemingly wanting to get rid the core as soon as possible.

"No, no, I can just recover naturally, you can take it". Audrey spoke, not accepting the core, after hearing Hope she kinda didn’t want it either now, even if she didn’t have the same ability as Jade.

Jade ended up forcing the core into Audrey’s hand abd walked away. Everyone else couldn’t help but laugh at her actions. And also Audrey who seemed to be contemplating throwing it away.

"No don’t!, try enveloping it with your mana and make it guide the mana in it into your body". Muku said when Audrey really was about to throw it away.

Seems despite knowing that there was basically no chance of her getting an ability from it, she didn’t want to take the chance, she didn’t know what her new body was capable of after all. But since Muku ordered her to do something, she had to. Of course he wasn’t ordering her, but asking, just that he didn’t completely understand his role as her master yet, which literally meant that anything he asked her to do, she will di it.

So Audrey did as asked and in front of everyone, the beast core really started losing its radiance while Audrey’s almost exhausted mana level started to rise. Within a minute she was back to her peak mana capacity while the core now radiated half the energy compared to before.

"So it really works huh...this is good news, in the future when we get more cores, we will have a spare energy source. And I have a feeling that beast cores will be super important in the future." Muku said with his hand on his chin, clearly pleased by the result.

Though Layla was pouting a bit at how her mother was basically used as a test subject for something that very much could have led to the core exploding since they didn’t know what was possible with it yet. But knowing that Muku could have likely contained the explosion or at least kept everyone safe, she didn’t pursue the matter.

"Anyway, I think we should continue our hunt. It would be great if all of you can reach Half-step within the next few days. I have this foreboding that the situation will get worse soon.". Muku said as he led the way to their next target.

The others although didn’t feel the foreboding he was talking about, weren’t opposed to getting stronger anyway so merrily followed along.

"Mother, what an nteresting move you used back there, how did you get your mana to not be eliminated in the beast’s body though?" Layla started a conversation with Audrey. She really was curious about how Audrey did it after all.

"Oh that, I don’t know how I did it, I just knew it would work for some reason. Sigh, Only if it wasn’t so gory". Audrey replied. Layla nodded in understanding, she too, had somethings she could just do not knowing how she could do it, and so could everyone in their group for that matter. Maybe Audrey’s mana just had a special characteristic thad allowed for what she did. Yeah that was probably it....
