Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

"Mithril Giant!" Muku shouted the name of his spell.

That's right. He was going to use the same Mithril that even Ares' avatar couldn't fight back before.

Of course, it won't be pure Mithril. It would, at best, be 5-10% Mithril due to the time constraints. However, it would still be a lot stronger than a giant completely made out of normal metal.

As soon as he spoke. Liquid metal started appearing out of nowhere. Circling his whole body all over. Soon his body was completely covered up by silver metal that had a faint grey in it from the Mithril mixed in.

The shape of an eight-metre-tall giant was already forming. As for why it wasn't bigger than that? Well, he was still new to R3 and going beyond that would have made the giant unstable.

"He can make metal giants?!... Why didn't he do that before?" Jade exclaimed.

"I really want to say that what he's doing is impossible... But I've already met my shocked quota for the day. So I'll just say it's impressive" Iris commented apathetically.

She couldn't find it in herself to express emotion anymore. She had realised that Muku's group were weird. Always finding themselves in situations they shouldn't be, doing what they shouldn't be doing.

Which in retrospect, should have considered earlier. From how they woke her up and stayed for the battle when normal people would have run away. Then Freya, who was aware of her mindscape when she shouldn't have been. Not to mention Muku's Telekinesis which never appeared on random people.

Well, whatever. What mattered was that she learned her lesson. Otherwise, she might have become the first being to have a heart attack in someone else's body and kill them with it.

"What do you mean?" Emily, who was standing beside her, asked. While Emily knew that Freya could take back control whenever she wanted. She just couldn't trust Iris with Freya's body. That's why she had been standing close to her from the start, in case Iris thought of running or something like that.

"Oh, nothing... Just that newly ascended R3s shouldn't be able to use their domain immediately. Even if it's just an embryo of it. In fact, this is the first time I've seen or even heard of such a case. The field that metal is circling in is his domain. Which allows him to do basically whatever he wants with the metal. Controlling it in a more precise way" Iris responded as nonchalantly as she could.

The light in her eyes had long dimmed. From the dragon to Muku, they had both made her realise how blissfully ignorant she was. The reputation she once had as a young fairy of being a genius who didn't need to bond with anyone was bull. She and those who praised her were frogs at the bottom of the well.

Maybe it wasn't that bleak and times had just changed. As they say, "The new generation always surpasses the old". So, maybe it was just the standards that had increased and not that she had gotten an undeserved reputation.

Which made sense. However, even that thought didn't make her feel any better. She, who has always been young, was now the grandma she always looked down on. Depression hit her hard. It would have been worse if the fairies aged like humans.

Who gets to the point where you can tell they are old by just looking at them? She, however, looking like a lady in her late twenties, was as old as she was going to look until she died. Her mood got better again.

"...Well, he wouldn't be my Big Brother if he stuck to the norm now would he?" Hope was the one to respond. She hesitated at first after seeing Iris' constantly changing expression showing mental turmoil.

Her pride in her brother got the better of her, however, so she couldn't help but say something. She was feeling a lot better about his new strength. She was so happy she no longer cared about the blood chains Audrey had used to tie her down in place.

While in normal cases, she would listen to Audrey every time. She was untrustworthy when it came to Muku. So with the approval of everyone. Hope locked Hope in place. Blood chains that linked them were deployed. They were long and light enough to not impede Hope's movements... But short enough that she couldn't go anywhere close to Muku.

She had tried to fight them off at first. That's when Audrey threatened her with a full-body suit and reported her to Muku. So she begrudgingly stopped fighting. Now, however, all that was forgotten after seeing Muku's strong and cool display.

"This brat... So, what you're saying is that he's only able to create the giant because he now has a domain?" Jade rolled her eyes at Hope's fangirl disposition whenever Muku did anything. Then she asked Iris something, trying to understand more. She also had some ideas she wanted to try in the future that she had failed to do in the past. So maybe a domain is what was missing.

"Yeah... Can we talk about this another time? I'm sure the readers want to go back to Muku's side..." Iris replied lazily. Saying something stuff Jade couldn't properly grasp for some reason.

"Oh, okay. We'll talk later then" Jade replied. She couldn't completely understand what Iris was talking about, but she understood the key point.

That also happened to be the time Muku's giant was almost fully formed. So she also wanted to watch what was about to happen...

...

Muku's side...

"Finally! Luckily, the palm is super slow. Otherwise, this slow-as-hell attack might have gotten me killed!" Muku spoke to himself.

However, his body was already out of sight. All that could be seen was an eight-metre-tall silver giant with grey linings all over its body. Two glowing silver eyes, with no other facial features. Long silver hair flowing down to its knees.

The body was toned and detailed like that of a human. If one looked closely they would notice that, except for the long hair, it resembled Muku's real body, eerily so even. Either he was a narcissist or he was a narcissist. After all, everyone knew he was a narcissist.

It was not as big as the dragon, let alone the lightning palm. But the aura coming off of the giant was really up there. Maybe not as strong as the dragon or even close. However, it was above half of the dragon's aura. Which should be enough for the situation, since most of the palm's energy had already been expended

"Sky Splitting Blade!" Muku's voice was heard clearly within the chaos.

As the voice rang out. The giant made a grasping action. As soon as it did, a large sword, even larger than the giant itself, appeared. The blade was around Sixteen metres tall.

After it completely formed, the giant flew up and slashed at the white lightning palm, which was less than two hundred meters away from the five hundred of a few moments before.

The move seemed quite reckless. Considering that the palm was still a force to be reckoned with. So there was no way Muku's attack could do too much damage to it right?

Wrong! Only Iris thought that. The dragon and the girls knew something that Iris didn't. Which was the existence of Muku's bloodline.

There was no way he wouldn't play such an important card in such a situation after all. It was actually the base for everything.

While it was OP, it was slow to act. He didn't have time. So, he came up with an idea to make it work.

He created a giant for defence when he gets closer to the palm, which would obviously make the area around it unbearable for humans despite its calm appearance. Then, create a sword that will have his erasing effect applied to it. Which was something he had recently discovered he could do.

So, while Iris saw a huge blade with an ominously glowing grey edge that wasn't going to do anything, the dragon, which was in the know for some reason, along with the girls, saw something else.

They saw an attack that was sure to end things with zero resistance from the palm.

"Haaaaaaa.....!" Muku screamed as soon as the blade came into contact with the palm. He then cleanly split it in half, like everyone but one expected.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Iris, who thought she was over getting shocked, found herself getting shocked again.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Another earth-shaking explosion ensued. Muku's attack had destabilised the palm leading to an explosion.

Fortunately, due to the reduced power of the palm by the first attack. Along with the fact that it was only the palm's power that was exploding without any additions from Muku. The explosion wasn't as destructive as the first one. Which was also in part due to it occurring in the sky.

However, Muku and the dragon went as lucky as everyone else who went unscathed. The two were too close to the explosion. So obviously they had to pay for it.

Fortunately, Muku hadn't stuck around after slicing it in two. He had instantly flown down to the dragon. Where he created the thickest dome he could with all the mana he had left.

While that didn't manage to tank all of the energy wave's force. It tanked most of it.

Muku's giant tanked the rest for him and the dragon with a little help from his Telekinesis.

After it was all said and done. The silver giant was left blackened, and a red-skinned Muku came out of it.

"Why did I think encasing myself in metal while facing something hot was a good idea? And you! Stop drooling! You're the reason I got cooked!" Muku came out of the giant with a belly full of complaints he had to express.

Especially when the dragon he did it all for, was looking at him like it wanted to eat him...
