Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 66: Hallowed Ground!

Back at the floating mansion....

Muku was still pushing his mind past its limits; at this point, all he was thinking was, "Hold it a little longer".

The girls kept on looking at him with worry on their faces but didn’t interrupt as they knew it was a critical moment. Hope suddenly thought of an idea and so tried to implement it. A gentle light green glow, as opposed to her usual sinister-looking dark green gas that she usually displayed, appeared on her hands.

She then held her hands on top of Muku’s head, even touching his black hair a bit. Her eyes closed, clearly trying to concentrate; the others didn’t try to stop her. They just looked on with curiosity looking to see if what she wanted to try would work. Instead of the usual surface healing she did, she was trying to do a deeper level heal that affected a person’s mind. She tried for more than a minute with no success but didn’t give up. Instead, she burnt through even more of her mana to make it work. So much so that a holy green glow surrounded her, when it touched the others, they felt their nerves start to relax.

[40% of Pseudo-Legendary class potential realised....]

Surprisingly, she instantly realised more potential than Emily and Chloe! Maybe because she developed a spell that affected the mind which was something that can’t be easily done. As soon as she got the message, her aura exploded out in the room, but luckily, unlike everyone else before her, her’s was gentle and didn’t harm anything. The entire room was now bathed in a green glow and the girls around her felt so relaxed by it that some of them almost moaned in satisfaction but managed to hold themselves back. Their bodies felt the best they had ever been; it was like all the hidden fatigue, whether physical or mental, that was plaguing them was eradicated by Hope’s spell.... intact, that’s exactly what happened.

As for Muku, his once extremely tense face was now a lot more relaxed. It seemed Hope’s spell managed to have the effect she wanted it to have. She finally opened her eyes, and looking at Muku’s now visibly relaxed expression, Hope smiled a bit and fell into Audrey’s waiting hands. She didn’t smile because of the awakened potential, but because she managed to assist her big brother.

"Wow, what an OP spell! So holy-like!". Jade exclaimed in a low voice; she, like everyone else, was greatly impressed by Hope’s new spell. They were already used to destruction spells, so seeing something so powerful yet not destructive was an amazing experience.

"What do you think she’ll name it?". Emily asked curiously.

"Maybe..."Hallowed ground"?. I certainly felt like I was standing on holy ground at the time." Jade gave her guess. The others couldn’t help but agree with her suggestion; they also felt that way.

"Tsk, and they call my element holy?". Emily said, expressing her jealousy, albeit jokingly, since everyone could tell she wasn’t really jealous.

"Umm, I think you’re forgetting her other side". Layla finally chimed in, reminding people of Hope’s poison element that had killed beasts before they even knew what was happening.

"Oh, right!.....no wonder her class is called Baneful Healer. She’s like a fallen angel that still has her divine power or something," Jade said while joking as well.

Seeing them, Audrey couldn’t help but smile tenderly looking at them, her motherly love overflowing. She could tell that they were only joking around as a way to distract their minds from what was happening around them. Since worrying wouldn’t help anything, they’d rather take the positive approach by joking around. As for herself, even though she quickly realised that she was now the only one who hadn’t yet reached the Half-step stage. She wasn’t bothered by it; after all, it was something that could happen at any time based on what she had witnessed so far, so there was no need to stress about it.

.....

Around ten minutes later.....

Although Muku’s mental state was improved by Hope’s spell, his mana was still not enough. Luckily it was only by just a bit, which he replenished a bit with the beast core. Just when it was about to run out again, the shaking and expanding outside finally stopped. As soon as he sensed it he immediately lowered the mansion back to the ground. Instead of the hole he was expecting to place it back into...it landed on top of another building’s ruin. Fortunately, it was a small house’s ruin so it was easily squashed by the huge mansion.

"Phew, that was hard!" Muku spoke up as soon as he finished placing the mansion back on the ground.

[70% of Legendary Class potential realised]

And he got a prompt that made him super happy immediately after he spoke. It had been a while since he’d thought of anything that was considered worthy of having realised more of his potential after all. As someone who could be considered a seasoned H-S R2 evolver, the increase of 20% was easily brought under his control, and like before, he didn’t faint. Maybe legends really are just built differently.

Before he could react, he was immediately surrounded by four figures and got his breath squeezed out of his. If it wasn’t for the familiar heads trying to dig into his upper body from all sides, he’d have thought he was under attack. Apparently, the girls thought they were giving him a hug.

"Hey let go, you’re going to kill him!" Audrey, who had smiled when the four girls went to hug Muku, immediately shouted after noticing his face turn blue. The brats seemed to have forgotten that they were no longer normal people, especially Jade who was hugging Muku from the back and squeezing his stomach. Audrey was even afraid that if she took a bit longer to shout, he might have vomited his intestines out.

Hearing Audrey’s shout the girls finally realised what they were doing. Jade immediately sped out of the room in embarrassment. Emily hid behind Audrey. Chloe went to sit beside the unconscious Hope, placed Hope’s head on her lap and started playing with her hair, not daring to look up.

Layla was the only one left standing in front of Muku, she also happened to be the one who hugged him from the front. She immediately created an ice dome around herself as soon as their eyes met, surprising everyone there. Her reaction was definitely the most unexpected and exaggerated.

Muku looked around the room, knowing that no one but Audrey would talk to him at that time. He walked over to Chloe and Hope, Chloe froze while still looking down. Muku lifted Hope and carried her out of the room.

"For tonight we don’t know what will happen next, so at least three people should be awake at once, I’ll take second watch". He said as he walked out.

He went to Hope’s room, placed her on the bed and walked out going to his own. Normally, he’d take the first watch, but he needed to rest as he was really drained from what he had just done.

Although the girls didn’t say anything, they did what he said. In fact, they all stayed up, other than Hope, of course. She actually didn’t wake up the whole night, the spell and the potential realisation likely took more out of her than everyone thought. And surprisingly even Muku didn’t wake up, but they could understand.

Because of Hope’s spell, the rest of the girls didn’t have any trouble staying up all night. They even had a feeling that they’d still be as energetic as they were in that moment even when morning comes.

.....

The next morning.....

All manner of beasts had been coming out of the portals ever since the world stopped shaking. And it was happening all over the world. They were even more varied than the ones that first appeared. As anyone can easily guess, many beasts that came out of the portal were legit Rank Two! That wasn’t even the worst part, a few Rank Threes managed to slip through. Every portal spat out one Rank Three along with many lower ranks. Their mere aura affects the weather around them.

And like most cities, the city in which Muku’s group wherein was surrounded by four portals. One in each cardinal point, though they were in the outskirts and were pushed even further. The closest portal to Muku’s group was the Northern side portal.

....

At the northern portal....

Like the school portal and every other portal in the world, it had turned blue from green and spat out beasts for hours.

The weather around the portal started to change out of nowhere. Snow started falling in a country that had never snowed before. The portal increased in size. Then a huge white paw stepped through, followed by a massive body.

It was a giant white wolf around fifteen metres tall with giant cold blue eyes that would send a chill down the spine of anyone who dared stare at them.

The area within a kilometre of the wolf was quickly covered by snow. That’s right, it was a genuine Rank 3 beast. The new king of the north.

"AWOOOOO!!"

The Wolf king howled to the sky as if to let those close enough that their new king had arrived.
