Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

"ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!"

Just as the group looked at the dragon. They saw a scene that can only be described as magical.

The dragon let out a terrifying breath attack as big as it. How it did such a thing was the amazing part.

A huge black magic circle formed just above its head. It then targeted its black breath attack at the circle. The circle took the attack and was undamaged. Then it released it from the other side in an amplified state. Both in power and size. The attack then charged at the giant palm that was descending slowly on the dragon.

The scene kind of seemed like a divine being trying to strike down a devil. The devil resisting with all its might. Even if it wasn't as strong as the divine being. It still resisted with everything it had.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An earth-shaking explosion, even more intense than the one involving Iris and the four beasts, went off. Anything and everything within two kilometres of the explosion was wiped out of existence. No matter what rank the beasts that were around were. They were killed off. Nothing survived.

It seemed the heavens had underestimated the might of the dragon. It might have been even more special than Iris thought.

"It can use magic circles?? What kind of monster is this?!" For the first time since the beginning of the event, Iris completely lost her composure.

How could she not lose her composure when she, at her peak strength, still couldn't use magic circles? Hell, she wasn't even close to being able to do it. It was an ability for legit Monarchs after all. Just having the Monarch bloodline didn't qualify someone to be able to use them. At least that's what she thought until she came across the dragon.

"What? What's wrong? Is it not supposed to do that?" Muku asked. His eyes still didn't move from the dragon, though. He was wondering how a creature that was supposed to only be Half-step R3 could do that.

"No, it's not! I was mistaken when I called it a 12 out of 10. That thing is at least a 100 out of 10. An anomaly! No wonder the heavens want it gone. Such creatures shouldn't exist in the current world. The world can't handle them." Iris spoke hysterically. There was even a crazy look in her eyes. It was almost like she wanted to attack the dragon as well and help the heavens get rid of it.

The only thing stopping her was the fact that her host was too weak. She probably wouldn't even survive the lingering chaotic energy in the area.

"Well... I don't know anything about whether it should exist or not, but I will be taking it home with me today. No matter what..." Muku replied to the hysterical Iris, his eyes still glued onto the battle scene that was starting to clear up.

"What?!" Iris was taken aback by his words. How could he say such a thing after seeing all that?!

BOOOOM!

Before she could say anything else, Muku's aura exploded. Then he flew off into the distance. They were three kilometres away from the dragon for obvious reasons. So, while there was a little distance between them and it to normal people. To Evolvers that distance was nothing.

So, within a few seconds, Muku was already beneath the large dragon. He did it so quickly that none of the girls managed to say anything to stop him. Maybe he knew that they would try something, so as he flew away, he made the platform descend to the ground simultaneously.

So, the girls had to focus on their balance as the platform descended quickly. By the time they looked up again from their feet, Muku was gone.

Of course, some wanted to go after him. That's when Muku's second-in-command stepped in. She stopped them from following. While Audrey never liked any of his crazy plans, she would do everything in her power to support him in them. Which she did. With the authority, she held in the group that was second to Muku only. She could easily stop the girls from following him, which she did.

"Is he really going to take the chance?" Jade asked a rhetorical question while pointing forward. They were standing in a place that allowed them to see the dragon's chest. So she, with her better than most eyesight, immediately noticed the dragon's chest light up in a golden light. Which signified that it was seeking a Soul Link.

Which was understandable; after all, it had used all it had clearly used all its strength in the last attack. Yet it had only managed to disburse around 70% of the palm's power. It had no other option but to seek out a Soul Link or it would just watch as it died.

Oddly enough, its eyes had been on Muku from start to finish. From when he was with the rest to how he came to it. Almost like it was expecting him there.

However, in the chaotic moment, no one noticed it. There was so much happening that even the observant Hope and the knowledge Iris missed it.

"HEY! I'M HERE TO HELP, WILL YOU LET ME?" Muku took a chance and crazily flew in front of the dragon then shouted his intentions.

The dragon looked at him oddly for a bit. A look of amusement appeared in its eyes soon after. As expected of the human it chose. So crazy. It didn't delay anymore as it nodded to Muku then gestured at its glowing chest with its head.

"GREAT! WE'LL BE PARTNERS FROM NOW ON!" Muku said then flew to its chest. He then placed his hand on its chest. His chest exploded out in a light of its own instantly.

The light from their chest then gathered together forming what seemed to be a thread made out of light. The dragon's thread and Muku's grey thread then came together and linked with each other.

A blinding light followed after before quickly disappearing into the nothingness of space. Luckily, the link didn't take too long, or the palm that was around 500 hundred meters above them would have hit them before it formed. It seemed the dragon's attack had slowed it even more, giving them more time.

{What now?} Just as Muku was trying to get used to the unfamiliar new connection he felt after the link. A youthful female voice rang out in his head.

{Well, that's obvious. I save you and we get out of here} Unlike many who would have been spooked by the sudden voice in their head. Muku immediately knew who it was. The soul link might have played a part in that, too, though.

{O...Kay, how?} The voice asked curiously. However, from how it sounded. Muku couldn't help but wonder why it seemed so confident that he would be able to help.

He couldn't help but look at the dragon before him. The sight of it was rather sad. Most of its scales were gone. It was bleeding all over. Wounds everywhere, some of its bones were even visible from the deeper wounds. Smoke was coming off of its charred body. It was breathing heavily, almost like it was about to breathe its last. Honestly, the dragon looked really pathetic at the moment.

If Muku failed to assist, then it would be doomed to die on that day. Yet, it seemed so nonchalantly. Almost like it couldn't feel the pain from its horrific wounds. Muku couldn't help but think that it was quite the bad*ss.

{Just look and you'll see} Muku replied in his mind. Like the legit one he was. He then took advantage of the dragon's damage to the beasts all around.

He then summoned Mithril middles. They were a lot easier to create than a sword. Obviously, their power would be practically nothing if compared to the sword. However, they were enough to finish off half-dead beasts.

Which was exactly what Muku was planning to use them for. He targeted any injured beast that was close enough to him with them. Since all the beasts were R2s. He'd get something from every kill. He randomly killed for ten seconds.

Killing from LR2s to Half-step R3s. His KP quickly reached the required amount. The dragon just looked on quietly. It was letting him cook.

"Hehe," As soon as he killed enough, he let out a little laugh. It was time for the girls to realise something they didn't know.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

His already significantly strong aura spiked up in an instant. The eyes of the girls who were looking at it and could sense it immediately widened.

However, could they not when he had directly stepped into Rank Three instead of the Half-step R3 they were expecting? It was understandable since the last time Muku told them about his mana control level, it was around 50%. Which wasn't too long ago. The rest were still around 60%. How has he already reached 100%?!

Jade, who thought she would be the first one to step into R3, felt the hit the most. There was also Layla, who was secretly happy about receiving the R3 core, which would help her get to 80% at least. Then she'd be ahead of everyone that wasn't Jade. Her hopes of being in the top two were dashed along with Jade's of being number one.

The rest were mostly just surprised. They didn't have much hope of being the first or second so...

What bothered them was how Muku didn't say anything. Which he would definitely have to explain after everything was over.

....

Back at Muku's side...

"Okay, Mr Giant Palm in the sky. Let's talk..." Muku spoke excitedly while feeling his R3 strength. It honestly felt like he went from earth to heaven. That's how strong he felt at that moment.

"I guess I can try that now..." He spoke to himself as he thought of a crazy idea...
