Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 109: I’m just better than you

"Rooooar!!"

Whoosh!

Boom!

Bang!

BANG!

Along with his angry, monstrous roar, Mest released a reddish breath attack. It almost caught Muku off guard but he managed to dodge. Though honestly it probably wouldn’t have been able to penetrate his armour anyway. But still, he had to keep the game a little bit interesting, right?

As soon as he saw the breath attack miss, Mest, who had finally gotten up, jumped up into the air again. He jumped with so much strength a booming sound was heard and the solid cement terrace was left with many cracks all over. But sadly, again, he was punched away by Muku. This time with even more force.

His large body was thrown out of the area by the punch. He landed outside of the barrier with a big bang. It startled Audrey and the two girls who saw a large body fly over them and slamming onto the ground just outside of the barrier.

Miraculously though, the creature didn’t take long to get up. Although it seemed to have felt a significant amount of pain, its body didn’t seem too wounded from the ordeal. Before they could react, they saw Muku float out of the stadium through the top wearing weird-looking armour.

It didn’t surprise them much that he could fly since he’d do it from time to time inside the mansion when he felt too lazy to walk. And he could literally move a large mansion, so even if they hadn’t seen him fly before, they wouldn’t have been surprised.

What surprised them, though, was the weird-looking armour. Only Chloe figured it out after looking at him and the ape a few times. She couldn’t help but think that he was rather childish but she didn’t expose him to the other two, who didn’t know what was going on.

"What’s up with his armour" Little Elsa couldn’t help but ask. Audrey didn’t know how to reply since she was also thinking the same.

"Umm, I think maybe it makes fighting the ape easier", Chloe replied, trying to defend Muku’s reputation to the best of her abilities.

"Oh, okay" Elsa easily believed it. To her, whether it be Muku or the ape, they were godly beings in terms of strength. And since Muku wasn’t releasing his aura that much, she thought they might be equally matched. So, his wearing such weird armour to give him an edge in the battle made sense. After all, other than that, what else could be the reason?

Audrey, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes at Chloe with some suspicion in them. To which Chloe reacted by guiltily looking away, swearing to herself internally not to say anything no matter what. Seeing how Chloe was lying and would likely not tell her the truth, Audrey gave up; after all, no harm was done.

...

"You!, what are you!?. How are you so strong. How are you still so much stronger than me when I sold my soul??. Tell me damn it!! WHY MUST I ALWAYS BE AT YOUR MERCY!!"? The giant ape Mest could surprisingly still talk, though in a beastly and hoarse voice. He started screaming out random questions, he was again starting to lose his mind.

Although he hadn’t been significantly injured yet, it seemed like he could still fight. He could tell that he was no match for Muku and would have likely already died if Muku was serious. Knowing that made him even more angry.

"That’s simple, really; I’m just better than you. And no matter what you do, no matter what you sacrifice, I will always be better than you. For that’s just how life is; there are some people you just can’t surpass no matter what...and I am those people,," Muku replied calmly, but the arrogance in his words was palpable. Yet with everything that had happened, Mest couldn’t deny it, which made him even more crazy.

"Oh, is that so...so no matter what I do, I’ll always be trash in front of you huh? Haha Hahahahaaha HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Those words from Muku turned out to be the last trigger Mest needed to completely lose it. Which he did as he spoke his last sane words before he started laughing like a maniac.

"Sigh, to think he was so weak-willed to go crazy just because he can’t win. What utter and complete trash" Muku spoke to himself while looking at Mest with nothing but disdain in his eyes. There wasn’t even a trace of pity in them. After all, who would pity such a scourge on humanity after everything he’d done.

Whoosh!

Muku, who was floating close to Mest, suddenly flew backwards by a few metres and started looking at Mest with wary eyes. Even Audrey and Chloe, who were watching the battle from a distance away, couldn’t help but tense up a little bit.

They were all looking at Mest closely. The same large ape that was madly laughing to the sky a few seconds ago was now eerily quiet. The laughing stopped so abruptly like an audio that was paused.

"I agree with you, mortal; this mortal really was trash. I should not have wasted my time on him for so long and devoured his soul sooner. To think he would embarrass me so much. And I have to say, what good senses you have" Mest started speaking again out of nowhere.

Yet the voice that was coming out of his mouth was nothing like either his normal voice or his beast-like voice. It was a completely different voice, a voice that demanded respect, a voice that made you want to bow down immediately.

"Supreme Monarch Ares"? Muku asked, even though he was asking, he was already certain that that’s who he was talking to now. As for how he knew, he wasn’t sure, he just did. The idea that Mest might be a schizophrenic didn’t even cross his mind like it normally should have. It was really a weird situation, even though Mest’s body wasn’t releasing any pressure, he could tell that he was now a lot more dangerous than before.

"That’s right mortal, I could tell that you were definitely someone with a good head above you from this one’s memories"

"Honestly I would have preferred to make a contract with you. But sadly without you being in an extremely unstable state, I can’t make contact"

"And the one time you entered such a state, something blocked me..."

"Anyway, as you humans say, there is no time like the present. Now, swear loyalty to me right here, right now and I will offer you enough power to reach Rank Three on the spot, even your little friends over there can join"

"If I’m pleased with your service, I will make you a Rank Five within one year and you can be an unparalleled lord in your world" The voice chattered on and on without waiting for Muku to respond. At the end of it, it was speaking as if Muku had already agreed to serve.

"Thank you for the offer, Oh Supreme Monarch Ares; I feel very honoured to catch your attention..." Muku replied before trailing off.

"Good, good, now come closer so I can give you..." Ares, who had possessed Mest’s body, started speaking before he was interrupted by Muku.

"...but I have to decline, I have no such great ambitions. I’m okay with being a background character. I’m sure you can easily find someone better than me," Muku, who has trailed off before, continued what he was saying. He completely ignored that Ares was speaking, as if not caring about how rude it was.

"Not only did you interrupt me when I was speaking. You did it so you could deny my offer...Mortal, you really don’t fear death do you"?

BOOM!

As soon as Ares’ words fell, red energy exploded out of Mest’s body. It covered around four metres around him and went around seven metres into the sky.

Boom!

Bang!

"Argh!"

Without waiting for Muku to respond, Ares charged at him at a speed way above Half-step R2. Muku was caught off-guard and got punched in the gut by the large ape. The force was so strong his armour was broken off and he was thrown away as blood flew out of his mouth. For the first time ever, Muku was significantly injured in a battle. And it was done with just one punch!

Boom!

Whoosh!

Chloe and Audrey, who were looking on from inside the barrier, immediately reacted. They both rushed toward Muku at their highest speeds, then caught him mid-air before he could crash into something.

As if they had discussed it before, they quickly took Muku back into the barrier. Neither tried to hold off Ares, they could tell that such a task wasn’t something either of them could do alone. Even if they were angry, they had fought enough battles to know that they shouldn’t let their anger control them.

"Oh, you think you can hide in there from me?" Ares spoke while slowly walking toward the barrier.

Bang!

"Hmm? Why can’t I get through?" Ares was confused; technically speaking, his body was that of a human at the time, so shouldn’t he be able to enter the barrier as well?

While he was confused, Chloe and Audrey couldn’t help but sigh in relief, luckily the monster really couldn’t get in. They had taken a gamble after all. Then again it was their only option, not like they could outrun him for long if they chose to flee.

"Argh! That really hurt; what a rare feeling" Muku, who had appeared to have fainted before, got up from the ground.

His shirt had been ripped off by the punch so he was shirtless. His chest area looked bloodied. But soon it was covered by a silver layer of metal. In fact, internally he was also gravely injured. Most of his ribs had been broken. Yet they had all been put back in place and were getting held there by some metal.

Although it really hurt, Muku knew that it wasn’t the time to listen to his pain. It was time to get rid of the monster in front of them.

"Let’s go for a round two shall we?"

Boom!

Muku spoke with a slightly crazy smile on his face. His aura was fully released after a long time showing how grave the battle was. However, this time, it was controlled, so Elsa wasn’t impacted, nor was anyone else in the barrier.
