Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 61: Oh my!...

One week later.....

Jade, Emily, Layla, Chloe, Hope, Audrey were all now at 5KN, 15KN, 15KN, 10KN, 20KN and 30KN respectively.

"Okay ladies, this has been a very busy week...and I think you’re all strong enough to take on the weaker of the two Half-steps I sensed...that is if you want to. After all, the beast is stronger than the lizard king and I won’t be helping."

"Tsk, who do you take us for?... besides I took care of that lizard king on my own after all. We can totally take care of the next monster easily if we work together". Jade immediately spoke up in arrogantly. Though she wasn’t wrong, they were definitely a lot stronger than a week before.

"Although your words make sense, don’t forget that you were under the boost of potential realisation at the time... and even if you all don’t need it now, you shouldn’t look down on your enemy like this or you’ll regret it someday.". Muku said to her with a reproachful expression on his face, he really didn’t like how Jade could be so arrogant sometimes, which could cost her her life someday.

Seeing him like this, Jade didn’t say anything knowing that he was really serious. And well, she kinda really liked it when he showed concern for her. In fact that was the reason she acted arrogantly outwardly but has never actually done anything too over the top until now.

"Anyway, despite the way Jade said it. The underlying meaning is that, we’re definitely ready for this fight, we’re all almost at the peak after all... though it’s kinda disheartening that none of us realised any potential throughout the week.". Emily spoke up for the girls.

They had actually already gone to her house earlier in the week. And like the usual, they didn’t find anyone there. But she did find a letter from her mother that said they’d be going to the university safe zone. After which Emily decided that since it was like that, they should rather get stronger first before going there. Since for now, her family should be fine if they made it to the university. If not, then the chance of meeting them somewhere in the city would be pretty low even if they search. So they might as well focus on getting stronger while hoping to luckily meet her family somewhere by chance if they were still in the city.

"Good, lets go then". Muku said with a smile after seeing the other girls nod to Emily’s words.

With that, the much toward the unknown beast began. With Jade complaining about having to walk everywhere like she normally did. Though the ones who really felt strain of constantly walking were the other girls since their classes weren’t too physical despite making them stronger than normal people.

...

"What an overwhelming aura, even more intense than yours big brother!" Hope said when the group got close enough to the beast to sense it.

It had actually taken refuge in a large mall. The huge front door was broken and the inside was dark, but they could hear crawling sounds from within. Which was enough to guess that they’d be facing an insect type beast, likely a spider since no other insect types had be seen.

And as if to prove the guess right, a swarm of more than three hundred spiders came out of the mall heading their way. The beast inside seemed to have quite the keen senses since they were still around half a kilometre away while it was in a building. Yet it sensed them and even sent attackers at them.

"Emily?". Muku called out while looking at Emily. She had proven to be the best choice when dealing with insects with her fire that would spread among them until they are all consumed. Because of this, Jade called her the group’s bug repellent a few days back and almost got her tail burnt off. From then on, everyone has been careful about what they say to her when bugs are involved.

"Okay, I’ll take care of them". Emily replied rolling her eyes. Why were they all acting like this?. She was only playing with Jade before, wasn’t actually going to burn her tail off. It was just a joke, they didn’t need to be so wary...well it was mostly a joke.l anyway.

"Scorched earth!"

Emily called out and a golden flame started spreading out in front of her. Going forward to meet the incoming spiders. At its peak the golden flame covered up an area of 100 square metres. And like the days before, the spiders were seemingly unafraid of the flame and met it head on. And of course, they were easily burned into oblivion, leaving only ashes behind. But each one that was burned would take a bit of the flame’s power until it was all used up after killing around half of them. Emily could have made the spell stronger but she wanted to save some mana for the battle ahead. And so, a second weakened "scorched earth" was cast and the spiders were finished off.

But the battle wasn’t over. 50 LR1, 30 MR1 And 15 PR1 giant spiders could be seen stepping out of the mall.

"Well damn!, didn’t know it had all that with it, seems it masked their presence with its own. This beast seems a lot smarter than the ones before, to actually want to tire us out before stepping in...how devious...how human!" Muku said looking at the approaching beasts with keen interest.

He wasn’t really worried since if he wanted, he could swash all of them right there and then. In fact, he was actually quite happy, after this battle, his whole team will be able to reach at least the peak of Rank One!. Then when the battle with the monster which he felt was close approaching, wouldn’t be as hopeless as he felt it would be with their current strength.

"I guess we all have to step in this time". Layla calmly said, getting ready to battle. Cold air starting to radiate from her body.

She has been showing battle junky tendencies in recent days making everyone wonder what was up, or if she was just growing to really love battles. While in truth she was just eager to also realise her potential, the truth about Layla that no one knew was that she was actually super competitive. Just that she has always been at the top before the apocalypse so didn’t show that side of her.

As for after, all the girls were relatively similar in strength so again didn’t need to show it. But after Chloe’s explosion, then Jade’s super explosion, she couldn’t hide that side of her anymore, though the others misunderstood her. And as to why she didn’t try to compete with Muku?, well he was their teacher and has a legendary class so they were never really in the same category to even compete.

"Yeah" Chloe replied, lightning crackling around her arms and legs. For obvious reasons, she didn’t dare cover her whole body. Her control wasn’t enough for her to do that and not destroy her clothes yet.

The others got ready as well, green energy swirling around Jade which she called beast aura as she turned catgirl(old version). She hadn’t been able to get into the advanced form ever since the lizard king battle. Her current strength was likely not good enough to support it.

Green poisonous gas coating Hope’s hands making the others step away from her a bit. They’d seen her kill beasts from a distance throughout the week after all. She’d just raise her hands in the direction of the target, her poison then merges into the air and then, less that a minute later, the beast would drop dead, blood flowing out of it mouth, nose, and eyes. Seeing her insidious power oddly made Audrey not feel as bad about hers.

Audrey held both her arms out and both their nails started elongating until they were around a metre and half long. Faint grey mana radiating from them, which had caused the explosion of many beasts throughout the week.

Although, she had already fought...or more precisely massacred some spiders. Emily was still good to go, also getting ready to battle. Being the opposite of Layla, hot air started to radiate from her body after she got serious.

Muku just stood back, looking at all of them with a stupid grin on his face. He was looking at them like a father looking at the children he’s painstakingly raised finally start to open their wings to fly out into the world. If the girls had seen this, they’re definitely be pissed, after all they all started out together, he just evolved faster. So what gives him the right to look at them like that?.

"High quick!" (Jade)

"Lightning charge!" (Chloe)

"Frozen javelin!" (Layla)

"Burning spear!" (Emily)

"Whisperless death!" (Hope)

"Oh my!, I forgot to name my spell!" (Audrey)

Everyone who was about to run forward almost tripped and fell when they heard Audrey’s shout.
