Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

"What tha?!" Jade exclaimed in surprise as what they sensed from the distance suddenly intensified and spread in every direction. Even the area they were standing on was affected.

Just then, before anyone could make sense of what was happening. The ground started shaking. The aura they were sensing getting more and more intense.

Muku didn't waste any more time as he grabbed the girls and flew up. He only stopped after there was some significant distance between them and the ground.

At that point, the whole forest was covered by the aura. Surprisingly, it was even more intense than the Spider Queen's aura. Without anyone having to say it, all of them realised that whatever the source of the aura was. It was definitely a Rank Three.

This was obvious from how almost all the team members could barely keep standing on the floating platform. Only Muku and Audrey were relatively still fine. Which was likely related to his bloodline that flowed through both their bodies.

While a surprise that his bloodline gained an ability to shield him from strong auras. It was a welcomed surprise. Especially in their current situation. They would have definitely fallen to the ground had he been affected as well.

Seeing the deteriorating situation Muku didn't dare stick around. He immediately took his team and headed up at his fastest speed. The light from Emily's spell was already out. The girl couldn't keep casting it under the pressure of the aura.

So as Muku went up. All he had to rely on was his minor night vision, which was nowhere near as good as Jade's. Unfortunately, she was of no use at the moment as she was as affected by the dark as the others.

As he looked around the place, his eyes met two glowing grey eyes that were looking at him. That's when he realised something he almost always overlooked. Audrey's class, while it didn't require her to consume blood after the mutation, was still a vampire-type class. Vampires can see in the dark!

"Audrey, can you see what's going on down there?" Muku asked not wasting time on the fact that he almost always overlooks the lady's abilities. Which wasn't his fault since, in normal situations, she chooses to stand down and let the enthusiastic girls act.

"Let me se... Oh my!!" Audrey replied as she shifted her gaze from Muku to the ground below. She exclaimed in surprise and fear as soon as she saw what was down there.

"What is it?" Muku, who could only see a few metres away from him, asked Audrey hastily. Audrey rarely lost her composure, so whatever she was seeing was something extraordinary.

"It's... It wasn't ground. It's a monster!" Audrey replied instinctively, still in shock. She had even closed her eyes refusing to look down. Her aura she was using to protect the girls faltered. Which added more work for Muku but he didn't complain since he was the one who told her to look down.

In Audrey's mind, the sight of what she saw kept on replaying. The thing they called a forest rose into the air, and a large mouth with countless teeth was exposed. The mouth was so large that they were as small as an ant to an elephant in front of it.

That's just how different the size difference was. It was probably why the creature didn't act when they first arrived. They weren't worth the effort. However, when they started attacking it's body. It had to act lest they did some significant damage after a while... A long while.

The only reason they managed to survive the ordeal was because of Muku's bloodline. Otherwise they would have definitely been killed on the spot.

That wasn't even the scariest part. The scary part was how the creature was slowly but surely rising higher and higher. It was coming out of the hole. Whether to pursue them or for some other reason. It was unknown to Audrey, but she was certain that she didn't want to be close by when it finally managed to come out.

.....

A little over ten minutes later...

Muku had finally reached the top. He had to increase the speed even more after Audrey's episode. Which increased his mana expenditure by quite a bit.

"Quickly move the mansion away from here please!" Audrey, who had significantly recovered her mental state, exclaimed in a slightly hysterical tone.

"Okay" While he didn't completely understand what was happening. He didn't stand around like an idiot delaying time while asking stupid questions.

He immediately got into action. The lady said quickly, and that's what he was going to do. Questions could be reserved for later. He always hated idiots in movies who first asked questions when they were told to move. Thankfully, those idiots usually died first, so he could somewhat stomach it.

Anyway, as Muku made his way to the mansion. The girls who could freely move again were behind him. They were all smart people, so they knew when to ask questions and when not to.

Soon, everyone was in the mansion, and it took off. A few minutes later when the mansion was already a significant distance away. The ground around the hole started shaking and cracking. The cracks kept getting bigger and bigger as the shaking increased. The pattern continued until eventually...

!Wooo Boom!

The ground gave out as it imploded with a boom. However, the fallen earth didn't fall as deep as one would expect from what was there. Strangely to those who didn't know what was happening, the soil started to rise up from within the hole.

However, it wasn't rising alone or on its own accord. Something was rising with it. A humongous plant monstrosity, unlike anything anyone had ever seen before.

It looked like an even more exaggerated version of the plant monster the group killed before. The shape of a Venus Fly Trap, the colour of one as well. However, that's where the similarities ended.

The creature had what seemed to be a forest on top of its head. Which was the very forest Muku and his group were standing on before. It's body was even larger than that of a whale, by a significant margin too.

"ROOOOOOAR!"

The beast let out a roar that shook the earth. Even those that were hundreds of kilometres away felt it. Strong winds blew in the direction it roared. Trees and other plants were uprooted and thrown whichever way they went.

If Muku hadn't reacted quickly, he and the girls might have had their ears destroyed from the noise. Luckily, he had protected everyone with a telekinetic barrier that blocked sound.

They were also fortunate that the direction in which the plant monster roared wasn't the one they were in. Otherwise their mansion that was just starting to get the upgrade it needed would have gotten destroyed on the spot.

Seeing the behemoth with their own eyes made the others realise why Audrey had been so hysterical. They stood no chance against that thing. Their strongest attacks were not only too small in their biggest states. They probably also could do significant damage to the thing's defense. Which was guaranteed to be way stronger than the "forest" on its head.

As for Muku's erasing gaze? It might be deadly, but he could only use it for a little while before his eyes couldn't take it. He wasn't sure how much damage he would be able to do in such little time, so he didn't even bother trying.

Sometimes one has to acknowledge that certain feats were beyond their capabilities. It's not about being weak or giving up without trying. It's about being reasonable and knowing your limits.

After all, where there is a will there is a way. In Muku and his group's case. It would be, where there is life there is a way. They chose to retreat since the battle was beyond them. They can always fight the beast in the future when they get stronger if their paths cross. That time however, they had to go.

So Muku used his Telekinesis to the best of his abilities and sped up their get away. Luckily for them, the beast didn't seem to care about them much after getting out.

Well, it would probably have thrown a few attacks in a normal setting. However it didn't have the luxury for such as a few "friends" were coming to "greet" it.

Four overwhelming auras where quickly speeding in the direction of the beast plant. The four happened to be the very four that came out of the portals soon after the World Evolution. As for the fifth, which was the white wolf, it was didn't make an appearance. Maybe it was occupied with something else.

Looking on from a distance, though it was more of sensing on since they were too far to see. Muku and the girls could tell that something major was about to occur.

The right move would obviously to run as far away from the area as they could. However the group was feeling quite adventurous. They wanted to at least be close by to get a better sense of what a Rank Three was.

They were so crazy that Muku landed the mansion, and he, along with Jade, Layla, Hope, Emily and Chloe, backtracked without it. That's right, they wanted to be closer to the action.

Audrey, who didn't want to be part of it, was left behind to look after their weaker members.

The reason why Muku and the girls even had the guts to go back it was a decent one actually. One of the Rank Three passed by their floating mansion and didn't even give it a glance.

So it was safe to say that for the moment. As long as they don't provoke the Rank Three beasts. They will most likely be completely ignored because of their weak strength. All they had to worry about was the shockwaves if there was a battle.

They had enough confidence in themselves to stay out of harm's way. So they went back to enjoy the show.
