Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Chapter 81 Baneful Ground!

"Wow, what a satisfying battle". Muku said from the sidelines.

"And Jade lost due to her arrogance, like you said too," Hope spoke from beside him.

"But would she have won if they didn't battle so soon and she wasn't arrogant?" Chloe asked Muku.

"Who knows, don't forget that Emily also recently reached her current stage. So, like I said before, I'm not too sure," Muku replied.

"Just like now, any battle they will have in the future will likely be won based on who made a mistake that the other one capitalized on first. Or maybe who attacked faster" Layla gave her insight before closing her eyes again. She was likely trying to recover faster by focusing on her abs, yet at the same time, she was interested in what was going on around her.

"Hmm, I wonder if it will be like that for the rest of us since our classes are at the same level?" Hope asked.

"Maybe, but I doubt it can be so perfect; your element is directly suppressed by Emily's, so having an equally matched battle would be hard", Chloe replied.

"Well, that sucks", Hope replied with a dejected look on her face; although her poison element was lethal, she felt it wasn't as good as the others.

"Don't feel bad about it; you're all growing; I'm sure you'll find a way to fight back eventually", Muku spoke, trying to console Hope.

"Yeah, you're right!. Our classes are the same level so I shouldn't be forever suppressed by her!" Hope was immediately motivated, got up from her seat and ran to the battleground, her eyes blazing with battle intent.

"Umm, where is she going?" Chloe asked.

"Well, it's you versus her next, so..." Emily, who'd just arrived beside Audrey and Jade on Audrey's back, spoke.

"What? When was that agreed upon!?. You fight her if you want; do you want me to be poisoned to death!?" Chloe shouted out in protest. Unlike Emily's fire, her lightning left a lot of gaps which Hope's poison could get in from, so why would she agree to a battle with her? That's basically asking to be positioned to death.

"I'm sure you can think of something" Muku replied while picking Chloe up with his telekinesis and throwing her toward the ring. Although he also wouldn't ever want to fight Hope without creating a force field, he still wanted to see how others would fight her.

.....

"What a cool entrance!" Hope called out with administration in her eyes when Chloe seemingly flew over and landed on her feet.

"Yeah, that was totally intentional... Anyway, I hope you don't make it too potent". Chloe replied with a wry smile on her face. She was brainstorming how she could come out of this without her body turning green from being poisoned. She could try to evade the poison, but Hope has the "Whisperless Death" spell that can't be seen so she won't know where to run to.

"Yeah, don't worry, I know just what to do...that reminds me, there's an idea I want to try. It won't harm your body; want to help me? The point of all this is to improve ourselves instead of winning right?" Hope asked Chloe with a hopeful look in her big purple eyes.

"Okay, sure, as long as it doesn't harm my body, then it's fine", Chloe agreed despite having a bad feeling about it; she just couldn't say no to those cute puppy dog eyes.

Boom!

Chloe disappeared in front of Hope with a clap of thunder.

"Oh, shi..ahh!" Hope exclaimed in fear. How could she not? Chloe, who had disappeared from her sight less than a second before, was now in front of her, holding her lightning-covered arm out in a punch. If not for the slender hand that stopped the punch, Hope felt like she would have died right then and there.

"Well, little Hope, look what you did. You almost lost your life because of it". Audrey said with a chuckle, teasing Hope, who was now pale-faced. Hope probably didn't hear it through all the thunder ringing all over the place.

"You go to the others; I'll take care of this; she should run out of mana soon enough with all this expenditure". Audrey got closer to Hope and spoke. Hope nodded and quickly ran to the others, the experience had truly shocked her. Especially when she knew that it was her fault.

...

"My, this actually stings a bit. To think this usually quiet and meek Chloe would be so destructive". Audrey said as she pushed Chloe away with a little bit of her strength, throwing her a bit of distance away.

"Ahh!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!.....

The crazed Chloe screamed out in anger after landing on her feet when Audrey pushed her away. The lighting bolts in the sky that were hitting the place randomly were now targeted, and they all hit where Audrey stood. Audrey didn't dodge; she was strong enough, and her mana barrier was enough to block the attacks of a lower rank like Chloe, even if she was going berserk.

When the dust and smoke from the lightning bolts dispersed and Chloe noticed that Audrey was unharmed she appeared to get even angrier.

"What kind of scary spell did that little girl create to turn her friend into this?" Audrey said to herself as she looked at the approaching Chloe. Chloe was running at super speed, but to Audrey, she might as well have been walking as she could clearly see everything.

Boom!

Then suddenly something that made even Audrey's eyes widen happened. Chloe turned into a lightning bolt and appeared in front of her within an instant.

Bang! Boom!

Chloe immediately threw her lightning punch, though a lot stronger than any she'd thrown before. This time, Audrey's casually made mana barrier that had already been battered was breached, and the punch connected. Audrey was so surprised that her mind blanked out for a second; after all, she wasn't exactly a battle veteran who was ready for anything and everything. This open was enough for Chloe who threw another punch, even stronger than the one before. Although the chance of actually hurting Audrey with her punches was slim, it would at least hurt a bit for Audrey.

Whoosh! Bang!

Before the punch landed, Muku appeared behind Chloe, grabbed her by the neck a bit and threw her back. Chloe was unprepared for this, so she hit the ground hard. However, it didn't hurt her much as she immediately got up.

"Sorry for interrupting; I know you can easily handle it, but I don't know how to do it without hurting her accidentally due to your power difference. So let me do it," Muku said to Audrey, but his gaze never left Chloe.
