Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 107: Supreme Monarch Ares?
"Hmm?" Muku made a confused sound while intently looking at the gang boss.
Which made the gang boss subconsciously take a step back. As if realising that he was embarrassed himself, he then took two steps forward in defiance. Even the women could see that he lacked confidence, which not only confused them but Muku as well since he didn’t remember ever meeting such a person before.
"I’m sorry, but do I know you?" Muku asked, still trying to pinpoint where he could have possibly met such a large man. And he still couldn’t think of anything no matter how much he thought; after all, such a large fellow would leave a significant impression, right?
"WHAT!?, AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO REMEMBER ME?? SO I WAS THAT MUCH OF A BUG IN YOUR EYES HUH?" The gang boss’ boomed loudly in anger as if Muku had insulted his mother or something. It seems not being remembered really got to him.
"Again, I’m really sorry; a lot has been happening lately, so I hope you can understand. Plus I really don’t remember ever meeting such a large fellow like you before... Are you sure it was me you met?" Muku tried to reason with the man. So what if he was scum he was going to kill in a bit, he wanted the clear up the situation before that, just for his own curiosity.
"Hehehe, oh right, I almost forgot. Last time we met, I didn’t look like this. I guess I really was a little bug unworthy of you remembering me. Hmm, in fact, I might have to thank you because if you didn’t do what you did and those assholes abandoned me afterwards, I wouldn’t be here," the gang boss spoke, this time calmer, understanding that his appearance did change a lot.
Though even after his explanation, Muku still didn’t know who he was. It was like one of those awkward moments you meet a random dude who seems to be super familiar with you but... You don’t know who TF they are. To think it would persist into the apocalypse for Muku, how truly unlucky.
P.s...If you’ve never had such an encounter, then chances are, you were the encounter.
"Oh, you still don’t remember me?. Well, whatever, I’m Mest; I used to be a highly regarded captain in this here safe zone at the beginning. Then you came along, and just because I wanted to do my duty by privately interrogating that grey-haired girl you brought for security reasons... You beat me up and left me with just an inch of my life. After that, not only did Tom, that bastard and the rest of the traitors help me, but they even tossed my half-dead self out of the safe zone to be eaten by beasts" As if sensing that Muku still didn’t remember him, the gang boss...or Mest rather, patiently explained.
The more he talked the more confidence he gained. He was internally hyping himself up in the process. Telling himself that things were different now and Muku was likely only as strong as him at this point if not weaker. With such thoughts, how could he not regain some confidence? He was a bona fide 99% Half-step R2 Ape King Berserker after all. A rare class aeons ahead of his initial class in terms of strength.
"Oh, I remember you now...you’re that idiot who’s the reason Audrey wears a veil every time we meet new people, huh? So you didn’t die? Who knew!" Muku spoke after finally remembering this lecherous idiot. He couldn’t help but marvel at how different he looked from before now that he knew who he was.
Internally he reaffirmed his notion of killing off every enemy and not letting them survive. Just look at this idiot; the last time they met, he was a LR1 Evolver with a random class or something around there. Now, he was almost a Rank Two, radiating a decent aura, too.
"Yeah, I’m alive; I’m more than alive, in fact. While you’ll be dead in a bit" Mest spoke while jumping the field barricade and getting into the ring. Then he proceeded to walk towards Muku with strong and confident steps, clearly he felt assured of his victory after getting over his initial trauma.
"Wait!, before this goes anywhere, can you tell me what happened to Tom and his crew"? Muku asked the approaching Mest, completely unaffected by his supposedly intimidating aura which worked pretty fine on the women at the side.

"Oh, those ants...I killed them of course. Well, I offered them as a sacrifice, but either way, they are dead" Mest paused a bit, then replied with a nasty and vicious grin on his face, trying to make Muku angry.
"Oh, truly a pity, they were such good fellows, too" Sadly for Mest, Muku was far from feeling angry; he wasn’t that close to Tom or the others. Not to mention it was the apocalypse where death had become rather common. At best he felt like it was a shame. As for who or what they were sacrificed to, he didn’t ask as he was sure Meat wouldn’t say without being beaten up a few times...
"Hehe, aren’t you going to ask who I sacrificed them to? It was the Supreme Monarch Ares who gave me strength!" Or not, Muku was quite flabbergasted by how Mest turned out to be a chatterbox who didn’t go by the script. Like who randomly mentions such important information out of nowhere!?
"Supreme Monarch Ares, huh?...okay, show me what strength he gave you then", Muku replied calmly; unlike most, he wasn’t too curious about this Ares fellow. Well... he was, but he could smell the trouble from a mile away, so there’s no way he’d dig deeper when he didn’t have to. So what if whoever or whatever this Ares was could give people strength, it was none of his business.
"Oh, I plan to... Ape Mode!" Mest cast his spell the moment right after responding to Muku. His size doubled from his initial two metres to a towering four. His clothes ripped off his body as he changed, but he wasn’t left naked and long black fur covered his body...well, technically, he was naked, but you know what I mean. At the end of the transformation he kinda looked like a slightly shorter version of King Kong on steroids with his large muscles. From head to toe, he had turned into a large ape.
"Meh, I’m more of a Godzilla fan myself" Muku spoke calmly. Hearing his words made Mest, who was about to charge forward, almost trip on himself. Like who TF says such a thing when they are about to have a death battle!?
Even the women at the side were caught off guard by his words. Some couldn’t help but giggle for the first time ever since the apocalypse began. Even after all they went through, what he said was just too funny. At the same time, the initial idea they had about Muku being a madman was solidifying more and more in their heads as they continued observing him.
If he knew, he might have left right then and there. He was fighting for them and they dare think him crazy!?. So what if his brain was feeling kinda quirky that day? Good damsels would never think of him negatively no matter what he does okay!?
"ROOAR!" Mest finally collected himself and continued with his attack. He jumped up in the air with his hands held up high. His end goal is obviously to squash Muku into meat-paste.
Sadly, things seldomly go the way we want them to...
"Okay, I’ll play with you" Muku spoke with a little smile on his face as a silver armour with blue plate-like spikes sticking out the back of them. A helmet that was shaped like a lizard’s head and an unnecessary tail to boot. The same plate-like spikes on the helmet and tail. Clearly, trying to mock Mest, which succeeds as the anger in Mest’s eyes intensifies. How could it not? The bastard was wearing armour somewhat reminiscent of Godzilla!
Bang!
Boom!
Although it might seem to have taken some time for Muku to put on the armour. It actually only happened within two seconds. Which not only left him with enough time to react to Mest’s attack but to even take the initiative.
Which he did as he lunged toward and punched Mest in the chest sending the large ape crushing into the terrace.
"Hehe, we all know how this battle ended don’t we?" Muku taunted while floating in the air, going toward Mest, who was trying to get up. Of course, Muku could fly using his telekinesis; he just never had the reason to. Even now, he was mostly doing it for fun.
As Mest tried getting up, there was nothing but shock in his eyes. The previous anger was long gone. How was this bastard Muku so still so strong compared to him!? And was the taunt about knowing how the battle ends necessary? Also, if he’s gonna dress up like Godzilla to mock him can he at least not freaking fly!! How’s that fair?? When did Godzilla learn how to fly??
