Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Chapter 50 Final judgment!

"Woah!....isn't Chloe a bit too Op?". Jade asked looking at the deviation. Even the ground Chloe's attack passed by was scorched black!

"Definitely deserves to be called lightning judgement". Layla nodded in agreement.

Even Emily on the side wondered if her ultimate attack could be that strong. The answer was no, her attack was super strong, could cover a wide area but as for single target damage, Chloe definitely ruled. For now, she was a crowd battle type mage while Chloe also for now seemed to be more inclined to single target battles. As for whether they could evolve into being able to do both, only time would tell.

"Is it over?". Hope couldn't help but be hopeful, her face was now a bit pale after using most of her strength.

"Roar!"

As soon as she stopped speaking, a roar answered her question. The battle was still not over. The rat king stood up again, it's aura now chaotic, it's eyes completely red with the iris that was supposed to be there nowhere to be seen. Looking at it like that, everyone couldn't help but think.."berserk mode". The intelligence I'm it's eyes long gone. They were seeing it through the large whole it created through the house.

"Rooooar!"

It roared again as it charged forward, now on all fours like a true beast. It smashesld through the poor house from before and finally putting it out of its mystery. And it's wind barrier was long gone but it still felt stronger than before.

"What are we going to do now!?". Hope screamed in fear, she was internally kicking herself for having a loud mouth that jinxed it.

"I can try to intercept it, I still have most of my mana after all". Jade spoke with a serious look, but there air of confidence she always had before was nowhere to be seen. She knew that even if the beast lost it's defense, she likely wouldn't be able to do much damage to it in this state.

"No, Layla by me some time, I'll put an end to this". Without even thinking about it, Muku turned down Jade preposition.

"Yes sir". Layla replied to him as she prepared her skill to delay the beast. She also didn't support Jade's suicidal attack.

"Tsk, fine". Seeing the others basically ignoring her suggestion, Jade gave up on it. And also because she knew Muku wouldn't say he'd take care of it if he didn't have a plan.

"Shrike's frozen spear barrage!" Layla spammed her current best spell.

(A/N: I know I have been jumping between skills and spells a lot...but in my defense, it's what felt right at the time. But from now on, it will be spells all the way, it seems to make more sense now)

Bang!

In it's berserk mode, the beast's senses didn't seem to be as accurate as before. Because if which, the first ice spear stabbed it in the gut and took it to the sky. As a testament of its absurdly high body defense, the spear only managed to poke a few centimetres into its body before it was broken with a slap and the best started following down.

"Just a bit?, we would have been thrown away by the dust cloud if you hadn't interfered!". Jade was hysterical, they already hadn't bathed for a while and he wanted to make them even more dirty?. How could she not be made, even forgetting the fire situation they were in a for moment.

"Cough, sorry about that, I thought it might survive if it the attack wasn't at least that strong". Muku was a bit embarrassed, he knew that he really had overdone it a bit.

"No big brother, you don't need to apologise, you were just making sure it didn't survive after all". Hope quickly defended her big brother while glaring at Jade and Layla which made them smile wryly. The little girl had completely switched sides.

"We should get out of here soon, all that commotion should have drawn in a a lot of attention here." Emily said with a worried face. The others nodded as they knew she was right.

But what they didn't know was that any beasts that were close enough to the battle ran away instead. The territory overlord was fighting a foe strong enough to make him go berserk after all. Who would want to stick around for that.

Anyway, Layla took down the ice dome and with Chloe on Audrey's back they left the area. Their destination was anywhere away from there. Their journey to Jade's house would have to be put on hold for now. But they couldn't go back to the stadium now, not with most of their members out of commission like this, especially when they just found out that there were monsters like the rat king roaming around. It would be dumb to be as carefree as before knowing such information.

So their target was a house to rest in as they thought of their next step somewhere a bit of distance away from the battle sight.

....

Ten minutes after Muku's group left the scene, a monster slithered over. It's cold yellow serpentine eyes now staring at the flattened rat king. A trace of surprise appearing for a second before it lunged on the body and swallowed it with little effort.

After it's meal it looked in a certain direction before slithering back where it came from. The direction it looked in, just happened to be the direction Muku's group left in. Whether that was the reason it looked, only it knew. But for some reason, it didn't go in that direction, maybe the rat king was already a good enough meal for the day and it didn't want to bother itself for now.

Whatever reason it was, it definitely saved the lives of Muku's group as in their current conditions. They had zero chance of fighting the city's overlord monster that was even stronger than the rat king.

....

During the time the monster looked in their way, Muku found himself looking back not knowing why. But he for some reason felt that they made the right decision by leaving when they did or they would have regretted it.

He didn't know why though. He subtly looked in Jade direction but noticed her acting normal, meaning she didn't detect anything. Which made him sigh in relief, it seemed that at least for now, they were safe.

{It seems I need to get stronger, I was so arrogant until now thinking that no beast can threaten me that much in this city right now...how wrong I was. That rat would have definitely killed me if I was alone, that is if I didn't run away. This won't do, how can I protect them like this?}

Muku thought as they walked forward, thinking about a horrible scene from his childhood. The others could sense a gloomy aura suddenly surround him, but didn't ask because they thought it was due to the battle having tired him out.

And like that, their walk continued as they searched for a building...then a great one appeared in their sites, albeit a bit sketchy....@@@@
