Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 247: I miss him already...

Beast Forest: Middle Zone

Muku flew forward quietly. Aware and yet unaware of the danger around him...

{So, portals do not mess with the person. They mess with space instead? Whole Teleportation moves you from point A to B. Portals fold space and put point A and B next to each other ignoring distance. Which means one just has to step through? And also Teleportation is limited by dimensions while Portals aren't. One can only teleport within a dimension. However, they can portal to other dimensions? And the reason why there was a corridor in between the two portal points when I was dragged here was because it was the link between two dimensions? Hmm, okay, I like portals more. Not only are they OP, but also won't die during the process} Muku repeated what Raya told him while adding his own comments.

{Yeah, I like portals too. However, I don't see us making them ourselves for a very long time. We might as well forget them for now. We should get used to dying. It's not the ability we want, but the ability we have} Raya replied. She was making fun of the situation a little bit. It seems she was a fan of dark humour.

{... Yeah. But how do you know so much? From what I know about you. You're not even five years old. On top of that, you were are loner. Also, why do you seem so informed about human subjects?!} Muku asked a couple of questions that confused him.

From Raya's position, she shouldn't have been privy to either. Whether it be information on space travel or her reference to human-related things.

{Hehe, I'm amazing aren't I?. Well, firstly, on the matter of space travel. Unlike some other person's bloodline which only knows how to destroy. My bloodline is quite useful. It also comes with information on Space Element-related subjects. After all, it's a space-related blood...} Raya explained why she was so informed. She even took a jab at Muku's bloodline while she was at it.

Muku couldn't help but sigh. It seems reliable Raya was gone. She never stayed for long...

{Tsk, whatever. What about the other matter?} Muku asked. He chose to ignore the jab.

{Oh that? It's pretty simple actually. I sometimes get a sneak peek into your mind when you're unstable in some way. So, I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to human subjects. Which brings up the question, why does it seem like you're mentally fighting something?} Raya explained and asked a question that has been bothering her for a while.

{Oh, okay. As for why it seems like I'm fighting something. That's because I am. It's this damned armour. It keeps on attacking my mind. I thought I told you about it...} Muku replied.

{You did? Maybe I forgot or you only thought you did. Well, whatever. It seems you can handle it. And most importantly, it's protecting us from getting killed off. So, I'm not against it. I say it's a fair trade} Raya replied.

{Yeah, of course you'd say that. After all, it's not you who keeps on getting stabbed. While it doesn't hurt, it's freaking annoying. And I'm pretty sure if I slip up, something bad will happen. I really need to find a way to remove this thing as soon as we reach safety. Who cares about the protection?... Anyway, when are we going to make it out of the Middle Zone?!} Muku still wasn't impressed by the armour despite Raya's positive outlook.

He then asked a more important question. He had been flying for quite a while at a decent speed. And yet he still couldn't see anything other than big trees.

There was a little change though. He could finally see a few humanoid figures in the distance. It seems they stopped hiding completely after seeing that the "expert" wasn't there to kill them off.

Maybe they felt that continuing to hide when the "expert" already knew where they were was disrespectful. So, they got out of their hiding places but kept a respectful distance from Muku.

They even took it upon themselves to spread the word so that no beast attacks him. After all, what if he got angry from being attacked by an ant and killed them all off? They weren't willing to take that chance.

So, unknowingly, the many R5s and R6s insured Muku's safety as he travelled through the forest. One can't help but wonder what they would do if they found out that he was just a LR3 human brat.

{Hmm, from what I see. It shouldn't be long before we make it out. These types of trees are usually found at the barrier between the Middle Range and the Outskirts. So, I'm assuming that's where we are. Judging from your speed, we should be able to make it out in... One month, give or take} Raya gave Muku her estimate.

{One month! What the hell?! And how do you know?!" Muku almost fell from the sky due to shock.

One had to know that he was travelling at a speed multiple times faster than any plane or jet. Yet it would still take him a month?! That's absurd!

{Actually, that's only if we don't stop. Which I highly suggest. Stopping might make them antsy. Which would be dangerous for us. As for how I know. I once travelled deep into this forest when I was younger. It actually gave me trauma which I only recently managed to get rid of. Don't be fooled by their docile appearances. Those creatures are ruthless beasts. The only reason I made it out was because I was too weak for them to waste their time with me. Hell, I was too weak to even play with. I wasn't equal to even an ant in their eyes. So, successfully got out after realising the dangerous situation I was in. And I witnessed some horrific things on my way out. Anyway, just trust my estimate. In fact, we're actually lucky. I'll have you know, just the outskirts of the Beast Forest are bigger than your whole world by a few times. If we had been thrown deeper into the forest. I doubt we would have gotten out even if we travelled nonstop for two years" Raya replied. Her voice cracked a little as she recalled past events.

{Oh okay. Speaking of your trial. How was it? I only figured that you had one when you received a reward but I don't know anything about it. What did you do? Was it like mine?... Speaking of which, I think Mrs C forgot to give me those fruits she promised} Muku asked about Raya's trial as a way to change the topics.

It seems remembering her past in the forest was still quite triggering for her. Despite her claim to have gotten over her trauma. Though, he really was curious about what she did.

{Oh yeah, you're so noob I went after you and still finished before you. Anyway, my trial was pretty much the same as yours. Fighting familiar foes in a familiar environment with our abilities locked. The only difference was our final opponents. I actually fought myself if you can believe that. It got really weird after I won. Fortunately that damned ghost didn't follow me. Oh, and the ten fruits she promised are in here. There's a timer on them. It seems they'll only come out after we leave this world. I thought you knew about it. Which is why I said nothing} Raya replied.

{Oh, okay... She really thought of everything, huh?} That's all Muku said. The latter part of what Raya said about her trial made no sense to him. However, he didn't ask anymore. She didn't seem to want to say anymore about it.

He then indirectly complimented Mrs C. If she hadn't done what she did, he would have had to go around with the fruits in his hands for two years. Which would have probably led to some trouble.

With that, Muku and Raya went silent for a bit. Muku chose to solely focus on leaving the Middle Range. It was too dangerous. Who knows when the beasts will decide to prob him. So, the sooner he left the better...

Whoosh!

With a speed that would have broken his world's old speed barrier a few times. He flew forward. He put everything he had into flying...

.....

Room Zero...

Mrs C and the white haired lady from before could be seen sitting on chairs while looking at the screen from before.

Surprisingly enough, the screen didn't just show things in the trial ground. It was actually showing Muku who was flying through the Beast Forest.

"You didn't answer me" The white-haired lady said. Another thing which stood out about her other than her hair was her eyes. They were flaming yellow with slits at their centre. Just like Raya's, if not deeper and more profound.

"Neither did you" Mrs C retorted.

"Tsk, be that way. Cowered" The White-haired lady spoke.

"At least I didn't pretend to be my child's ghost" Mrs C retorted again.

Her expression aura was different from what they were when Muku was around. She had become a lot colder. Just like she had been at the start when Muku saw her. It seems she was only goofy because he was around.

"Like forcing your way into being his adoptive mother is any better. Shameless" The white-haired lady threw her own retort.

"Do you want to be turned into a real ghost?" Mrs C threatened coldly. She thought that the white-haired lady was getting too comfortable. Did she get the wrong idea after seeing her interaction with her son and think she had become soft? If that was the case, she might as well kill her off to prove her wrong.

"Please don't. I'm sorry. If you'll excuse me. I have something to do" The white-haired lady immediately backed off and apologised. She disappeared from her seat soon after. She ran away...

"Sigh... I miss him already..." Mrs C spoke to herself while looking at the screen. Her eyes didn't move away from Muku even when she was arguing with the white-haired lady...
