Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

"Pfft, you think just claiming that it's now your turn will change anything?" Fake Raya spoke while rolling her eyes.

Raya didn't respond. She just closed her eyes for a second. She was preparing to do it. Realising all the beastly impulses and nature she had been bottling up.

Fake Raya was going to be the recipient of it all. As for what would happen. Only time will tell.

"Hey! How dare you close your ey..." Fake Raya was about to explode in anger from the perceived disrespect when...

Raya opened her eyes. What Fake Raya saw froze her in place. Even before Raya moved, she knew that she was screwed.

BOOM!

Raya exploded forward with all her Rank Three might. The ground beneath her and the plants around her were all squashed by the pressure she released. Se plants were uprooted soon after she passed them by.

She was a new Raya. An unhinged Raya. Unlike before when she moved with grace and precision. Now, all that could be seen from her actions was beastly wildness. There was no class at all.

It was almost like a different personality had taken over. However, that wasn't the case. The juvenile dragon had just switched gears. If anything, she just completely let herself go.

In less than a second she was in front of Fake Raya.

Bang!

Although Fake Raya was stunned by the sudden change. She still managed to react in time. This led to a successful block of Raya's attack.

However, she winced a little. This was because Raya's attack was surprisingly stronger than usual. It also seemed to have been spontaneous so her prior information on Raya became useless. Which led to an awkward block. Then...

Bang!

Boom!

Out of nowhere, Raya's tail came swinging toward Fake Raya's Face. She was hit before she could react. The tail swing was so strong it through her away.

Raya didn't let up though. She instantly pursued. She was already beside Fake Raya by the time the latter got up. Then she bit into her neck.

A move Raya would normally not have even tried until the opponent was exhausted. That way, resistance would be weak and she won't be injured too much. Which would be advantageous in a dangerous environment.

However, she didn't seem to care about all that in that moment. All she cared about was ending Fake Raya's life.

She didn't stop at just biting her neck. She ragged dolled her as well. Slamming her on the ground as hard as she could.

Of course, Fake Raya, who still had energy, resisted greatly. She would scratch at Raya's Face and hit her with her tail. However, it was all pointless. Raya's grip on her didn't loosen at all. She took the hits and kept on biting.

Soon enough, Fake Raya's resistance began to weaken. It continued like that until she could barely move at all. She had run out of air to breathe as well as energy to resist with.

After all, she had tried her best with everything she had to get out of Raya's death grip. Unfortunately, all her efforts were unsuccessful.

After a while longer. The chatterbox, Fake Raya, breathed her last. It was only then that Raya let go of her neck.

"ROOOOOOAR!" For the first time in like forever, Raya celebrated a kill by roaring into the sky.

Her mouth was painted red by Fake Raya's blood. Her body, on the other hand, was painted red by her own blood.

Fake Raya had done quite some damage in her struggle after all. If she had continued a little longer, she might have successfully gotten out of Raya's death grip.

As if to prove that point. Raya immediately slumped to the ground after finishing her roaring.

She just lay there looking at Fake Raya's dead body.

It was then that the sight that had surprised fake Raya began to fade. That sight was Raya's eyes which had changed colour. They had actually turned red when she opened them before.

Which was a colour Raya despised whenever she saw it in the eyes of other beasts. After all, it was the colour of madness... In her point of view anyway.

Then again, all those who had red eyes were rather savage in their behaviour. So, maybe she wasn't wrong.

Soon, the redness was completely gone. Her fiery yellow eyes returned to their normal colour.

"Argh. This hurts so bad... I'm not doing that again unless there's no other option... And it's really weird to look at my own dead body like this" Raya complained to herself as she powerlessly lay on the ground.

She didn't even have the strength to look away from Fake Raya's body. So, she could only look at the stifling sight without being able to do anything.

"You know that you only won by luck right? You are nowhere close to reaching what Mrs C wants you to reach" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in front of Raya, who had closed her eyes.

Her eyes instantly snapped open. They widened as soon as she saw who had spoken.

"What the hell?! You even have a soul?? And how are you still so proud even after death you bastard!" Raya cursed in anger.

Her initial fear of the ghostly Fake Raya, who was floating above her corpse, disappeared when she remembered what she said.

So what if she spoke the truth? How dare a dead loser be so arrogant?? And since when did doppelgangers have souls?! Wasn't Mrs C a bit too committed to the trial?? Who does that??

"Tsk, of course I have a soul you idiot. You have one as well. So what can't I, when I'm an exact copy of you?" Fake Raya replied while rolling her eyes in disdain.

"...." Raya didn't speak anymore. She did want to keep on entertaining the idiot. Maybe that way the idiot would go away.

"If you think ignoring me will make me go away then you have another thing coming. You killed me, so prepare for a lifelong haunting!" Fake Raya continued chatting away. Which was unfortunate for Raya. It seems her plan failed soon after being made.

"Good job little Raya! I knew you could do it!" Just when Raya was about to go crazy from the chatty ghost's nonstop chatter. Mrs C's voice sounded from the sky.

When it did. Even the chatty ghost respectfully shut its mouth and paid attention. Which was understandable. After all, from where Raya stood, Mrs C was literally Fake Raya's creator.

As for how she did that... Only Mrs C would know. Raya just hoped the ghost would get erased soon. Otherwise, she might have to come up with ways that would allow her to kill a ghost.

Fake Raya's ghost suddenly gave Raya the stink-eye as if she knew what she was thinking.

"Thank you. But like this idiot said. It was all due to luck" Raya replied humbly.

"Even still. A win is a win. And now you know what path to take to gain greater power. Which is always a good thing. Anyway, let me heal you up and we'll go see Muku's final battle. I'm sure you want to see how he's doing right? We'll settle your price after he's done" Mrs C spoke.

As soon as her words rang. The sight in front of Raya changed. She found herself back in room zero. All her injuries were completely healed and a table full of meat was in front of her.

Mrs C was sitting a distance away from the table. Then there was the familiar screen which caught her attention. On it, Muku was shown. And he looked... Pathetic.

He looked like he had both feet inside the grave. Just his head barely hung outside due to stubbornness.

Seeing him uplifted her mood a lot. Just like they say. There's always someone better... Though in this case it's more appropriate to say that there's always someone worse! And Muku was definitely worse.

"Feel free to eat that while you watch. It's your victory meal. I'm sure you're hungry after all you've been through" Mrs C spoke while casting a slight glance at Raya. She then got back to watching Muku on the screen.

Raya quietly acknowledged her words and dug in. It had been a while since she had eaten anything, after all. Which was before her bloodline awakening ritual, in fact.

If Muku wasn't feeding her with so much schadenfreude through his suffering. She would have completely lost herself in the food. Fortunately, she could do both.

And saw, a happy Raya who was enjoying her feast. And an even happier Mrs C, with glistening eyes, focused their eyes on Muku. The guy who felt like he was the unluckiest person in the world.

.....

A while ago...

Muku took a deep breath to calm down his nerves. He had to be calm if he wanted to successfully defeat the monster in front of him.

He couldn't let its terrifying sight terrify him. He was the guy who had faced two Monarchs and lived after all. He had even killed one of them recently... Well, Jade did that, but he did most of the work. So, it should count as his kill, right?

Especially when he was the one who destroyed the Monarch's immortal soul!

Anyway, that doesn't matter. It wasn't the time to continue thinking of such things. It was time to fight!

Those thoughts had done their work. They had given him the confidence he needed.

The monster cynocephalus was going down! It was nothing compared to Monarchs!.

Boom!

Muku was so hyped that he was the first one to make a move. He dashed toward the beast at high speed.

He wanted to use his speed to deal with it. After all, such a hulking creature had to be slow, right?...
