Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 99: Water Fairy Embryo

Five days later...

"Okay, this is bull! how is it that not only is it raining in Spring, but it hasn’t stopped raining for five days!?" Muku grumbled while sitting on the couch. Jade was sitting on another couch nodding in agreement. The others also agreed to a certain extent; they had all gotten used to going outside every day and beating up a few beasts. So being confined for five days straight was rather unbearable.

"Maybe it’s a sign of treasure! why don’t we go look around?" Chloe, a failed otaku who also developed a weird interest in the outdoors, spoke. She just made up a reason to go outside. With Muku’s telekinesis, the rain shouldn’t be a problem, so they might as well go look around, right?

"Not to mention we’re about to run out of meat", Layla, who also wanted to go outside, spoke. She had finally managed to catch up to Emily and Chloe in her mana control after working twice as hard so she felt it was time for a break. The three were. Now all at 6%, Audrey at 10%, and Hope at 5%, she was catching up quickly. Jade was at 5% conversion from mana to Beast Aura, so somewhat the same as the rest.

Muku, for reasons unknown, was already at 30%; of course, he told the others he was still at 2%, or he suspected it might not have ended well for him. At least Jade and Layla wouldn’t have taken the news too well. He suspected that his bloodline somehow played a part. It was a lot easier for him to improve his mana control than the others. He got to 30% without even being serious about meditation or he probably would have reached at least 50% already.

The trace of bloodline in Audrey might also have played a part in her being 4% higher than the others. Even though she ranked up way before the others, she hadn’t meditated much during that time. So, her being so far ahead is a bit unusual, but it was still acceptable to the ground, unlike Muku’s case.

"Those sound like good enough reasons to me! Let’s go!" Muku exclaimed while getting up. The others followed after him. Although they no longer had a guard since Audrey hadn’t been able to go out and hunt for new ones. They weren’t too worried about leaving the mansion unattended since it was raining rather heavily. So what beast would go out of its way to come to break the mansion down in the rain? And so, soon after leaving the mansion, the group could be seen whooshing away on a silver board with a telekinetic forcefield keeping them safe from the rain.

Like that, the bored group went around in the rain randomly killing any beast they could find. There were only three in number; apparently, beasts didn’t like going around in the rain either.

....

"Hey, I sense something in that direction" Jade spoke while pointing in a certain direction. Muku and the others who didn’t have a reason to doubt her immediately got curious. And so, he steered in the said direction.

"Woah!, what’s that!?" Hope exclaimed while looking in front of her.

"No wonder it was raining without any wind, thunder or lightning" Chloe spoke beside her.

They were all looking at a weird clear orb that was floating in the air in front of them. It somewhat looked like a large water drop about the size of an orange. It was raining all around it, yet there was no rain within a one-metre radius of it.

"This rain intensity though!" Emily said while looking up. The rain around them was getting more and more intense as they got closer to the water drop. Luckily, Muku was already a Rank Two and could take it. Otherwise, the Rank One version of himself might not have been able to make it through.

"Wow, what an impressive energy wave" Hope commented as they felt a strong aura radiating from in front of them.

"Yeah, luckily, it seems to have been dampened by the rain around it, or many beasts would have been drawn over by it", Muku replied, feeling the intense but gentle aura radiating from the water drop. Although he didn’t know what its use was, nor did his group members, they all could tell that it was a treasure of some sort. And for that reason, they wanted it, uses can be discovered later on.

They were quite surprised that Chloe had been speaking the truth about there being a treasure in the rain, though not as surprised as Chloe herself. She had just made up an excuse to leave the house after all. If her words had some sway in the outcome, she was happy that she didn’t say that there was a Rank Three Beast in the rain instead.

Soon, they reached the invisible barrier around the drop. Try as he might, Muku couldn’t get through. The others tried as well and also couldn’t get through. Elsa just looked on, not even bothering to try since she felt that if the others couldn’t do it, she couldn’t either.

"Hey little Elsa, why don’t you try?" Audrey spoke while looking at Elsa with a little smile. She felt that even if Elsa couldn’t get through, there was no harm in letting her try; that way, she wouldn’t feel left out. Hearing Audrey’s words and realising the deeper meaning behind them, the others supported her. They also started urging Elsa to give it a try; after all, the barrier didn’t harm people, it just kept them out.

"Okay,", the soft-spoken little girl gave in to the pressure and agreed. Though honestly, she was also interested in trying. Who knows, maybe she would be the protagonist and get through.

The others gave her space and she walked forward. She then raised her hand and slowly moved it toward the barrier hesitantly. Although she didn’t have much hope of success, she still wanted to be successful. She even closed her eyes while moving her hand forward preparing to meet a barrier...which didn’t come. Because of this, she ended up falling flat on her face inside the barrier, prompting chuckles from the rest of the group.

Her little face immediately reddened in embarrassment as she got up and tidied herself up. The ground inside the barrier was dry, untouched by the rain, so she didn’t get too dirty.

"Well, aren’t you going to try and touch it?" Emily said to her from outside the barrier that they all still couldn’t enter. Although she was worried about letting Elsa do all of this alone, she could only trust her at that point.

Elsa, who had gotten a bit confused after her little incident, immediately remembered what she was doing. She turned around and faced the water drop. Immediately, she felt an uncontrolled urge to touch it; before she knew it, she was already stepping forward. Seeing this the others immediately relaxed. From their experiences, every time someone got like that, whatever caused it wasn’t harmful to them, so it was likely the case at that time. Of course, there was a chance of it being different, but they’d rather be optimistic.

Soon, Elsa’s hand was on the water drop. The moment they made contact, the raindrops stopped moving midair. Before anyone could make sense of the mystic scene, the raindrops started moving in Elsa’s direction. They gathered into a substantial amount of water as they got closer.

The water would first circle around Elsa, who was now floating a metre in the air, then enter into the drop. No matter how much water entered it, it didn’t change the size; it stayed the same, other than giving off a gentle blue light. The light kept on getting brighter and brighter as more water entered into the drop. Soon the morning sky was clear again with no sign of rain as all the water had gotten drawn into the drop. At that point, Elsa wasn’t even visible, she had been completely consumed by the bright blue light.

Luckily, although the drop now radiated more energy, it didn’t get projected too far. After a while the blue light started dimming until it was completely fine. That’s when the others realised that the drop was gone; all that was left was Elsa, who was slowly descending onto the ground, with her eyes closed.

"Elsa!" Emily called out as she ran toward her sister. The others followed behind her. They were all a bit worried since it was their first time seeing such a thing. Even if they felt it wasn’t anything bad, they still couldn’t help but worry for the little girl.

Soon Emily reached Elsa and hugged her, yet Elsa didn’t react or even open her eyes. This worried Emily even more, but she scanned Elsa with her mana but didn’t feel anything wrong with her.

Hope, who was more sensitive to the state of people’s bodies due to her class, also gave it a go. She also felt that there was nothing wrong with Elsa’s body, but sensed that there was some intense mind activity going on. However, even that didn’t seem to be affecting her negatively. So they just stood there waiting for Elsa to snap out of it, as she didn’t seem to be unconscious.

...

In Elsa’s mind...

[Water Fairy embryo acquired. Class changing in progress....]

[Error!]

[No class detected!]

[Individual has been identified to not have reached Rank One yet]

[Embryo will remain dormant until individual meets the minimum requirements to awaken it]

...

As soon as the multiple prompts that Elsa barely understood were all stated. She immediately opened her eyes, which glowed blue for a second before going back to normal. Then, a blue water drop-like marking appeared on her forehead. It looked rather mystical how it etched itself there in front of everyone’s eyes.

Emily immediately wanted Elsa to explain on the spot. But the others persuaded her to wait until they returned home. And so Muku sped home with the others, they all couldn’t wait to hear what had happened.

As they speedily flew back, they didn’t notice what was happening to the city ground. Once it had been covered by tar and buildings, now, vegetation was quickly reclaiming it. It was growing at a rather alarming rate too.
