Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Snap!

Out of nowhere, Mrs C snapped her fingers and Muku disappeared from the trial ground and appeared beside her on the ground.

The negative effects of Whisperless Death had been healed and his body was returned to peak state.

Muku who didn't understand what was going on had a confused look as he got up.

The last thing he remembered was kissing the group in the trial ground. As for what happened after that and how he had gotten to Room Zero... He had no idea.

He was about to ask Mrs C what was going on when she pointed toward the screen. It wasn't split in two anymore. But it didn't show Raya either.

What it showed was a playback which gave Muku chills. He actually took a step back in fear just from watching a video.

It was understandable though, after all, the video on the screen was him getting dominated by Whisperless Death without even knowing. His body was slowly being melted down from the inside. The sight made him feel pain just from looking.

He was kinda glad he wasn't in the state of mind to realise what was going on to him at the time. If he had been aware, he might have gone inside and killed himself.

Just from looking at the video at the video made him come to the conclusion that the experience was probably even worse than getting burned alive. Just the visuals alone were horrifying enough.

"I'm sorry" A soft apology from Mrs C brought back from his deep thoughts.

"For what?" Muku asked confusedly. After all, he was already aware of the trials and their dangers, so his ending up in that horrific situation was something he already expected.

Were her mother's instincts to protect her child finally kicking in? Weren't they too late to the party if that was the case?? He had already been roasted for more than two days after all.

"Umm, so, you know how you walked with all the confidence in the world when you left the third level of the flame trial?" Mrs C spoke hesitantly.

"Yes?..." Muku replied with narrowed eyes. At that point, he would be crazy or stupid if he didn't suspect that she had done something she shouldn't have.

"Don't look at me like that. It was your fault for tempting me with your smug expression..." Mrs C defended herself without even finishing what she was telling Muku.

Like those women on UTube podcast, she was trying her very best to avoid accountability.

"Speak, woman!" Muku exclaimed in a slightly raised voice.

At that point, his expression was extremely dark. After all, it was certain from Mrs C's actions that whatever she did wasn't small.

"Okay, okay. No need to shout. You weren't meant to go to poison after fire. It was supposed to be ice, then lightning, then Beast Aura then blood and finishing off with poison. And even if it was poison, Whisperless Death is actually not supposed to be part of the trial since it attacks both the body and mind. And you can't resist mind attacks without mental energy. At least not with the little mental energy you have now which is only good enough to keep you thinking straight... That's why I'm sorry..." Mrs C finally said something.

Muku's expression didn't even change. He might not have been expecting what she did, but it was something he figured she would do.

And all for what? Because he expressed his happiness through a confident walk? Sigh, it seemed she had to be added to the very long list of troublesome women in his life.

The list topper was Jade, followed by Raya, then Emily and so on. Even his cute little sister Hope was on there due to the times she gets clingy to the point of literally clinging onto him. It had happened a few times but he actually had to drag her around all day on those days.

It was cute until she refused to let go even during battles. Which made them even more troublesome than they had to be.

Actually, the fact that it took so long to add Mrs C to the list, was actually surprising. The lady had been troublesome since day one!

But that didn't matter. As long as she made it in the end right?.

"Can you send me back into the trail ground please? I want to finish this thing as soon as possible. Delaying pain isn't my style. And please don't mess with anything this time... We'll discuss what you did after I'm done... Understood?" Muku spoke calmly like a tired father who had gotten used to his daughter's mischief.

Mrs C didn't refute or say anything back. She just nodded her head like a little child who had been caught stealing sugar. She then did what she was told quietly...

And so, Muku was thrown back into the trial ground. This time the order Andi intensity wasn't messed up. So, he found himself plunged into a level so cold that he felt his blood freezing up inside of him.

It didn't completely freeze the blood, but it did slow it down by a lot. Which wasn't healthy. He began feeling dizzy, and he couldn't move. But all that didn't matter.

What mattered was tanking the cold until he builds up resistance. Fortunately, it didn't hurt as much as the flames did. Unfortunately, because his body was semi-frozen, it took almost twice as long for him to pass each level.

At first, he thought that it was easier than flames. But that thought changed after he realised that the pain wasn't decreasing despite the resistance which was increasing. So, instead of the flame's intense and brief pain, ice gave him long, methodical pain which was consistent until the end.

For that reason, he realised why Ice was above flames. It was way more sadistic!

Anyway, despite the struggle, he managed to complete all three levels in around five days. Which was a respectable time.

He then moved on to violence personified. And its name was Lightning. Unlike flames and ice which attacked him from all sides, lightning attacked him from above. Which made sense but made him wish he didn't have a head. At the very least, he wished his brain weren't in his head.

The damn thing was literally getting fried by the violent blue lightning. He couldn't even block with his hands as his whole body was paralysed by the lightning. He could only take it like a man.

Though the mother of all headaches he got made him wish he were dead. Even worse was how his hair actually got destroyed by the first shot!. So he took the whole trial bald.

The scene lifted Mrs C's mood. The lady was back to her laughing ways. This time with popcorn in her hands. She regretted interfering before, after all, there was no need. The original trial was already fun enough for her. There was no need to change anything.

As for why the lightning destroyed his hair when the flames couldn't. Well, it was pretty obvious, the flames were programmed to target only his flesh. However, Chloe's lightning had no such feature.

It could be programmed not to destroy him. But that was it. Everything else was destroyed. Interestingly enough, even the element-proof clothes he was wearing were destroyed.

He noticed it, but he couldn't even cover up. He could just look on as his dignity was destroyed along with his clothes.

.....

Room Zero...

"Hahahaha. And his clothes are gone! Hahaha. This kid is really surrounded by interesting little friends huh? To think that little girl actually has that attribute. Had I known, I would have put up measures against it. All well, such is life. And it's a bother to resist it even for me if I don't put a little effort into it. Which is saying something considering the difference in strength between us... Well, whatever. Let's just enjoy the show" Mrs C spoke to herself again.

Her eyes were sparkling with delight. She was having the best of times.

Just the conflicted look in Muku's eyes as he looked on at what was happening powerlessly, made her day.

But as a good mother. She snapped her fingers and created a pair of underwear for him which was resistant to the attribute.

It wouldn't last too long but finishing the trial was doable...

....

Back to the trial...

Muku had an absolutely horrible time in the lightning levels. His clothes were destroyed in the beginning and he had to finish the thing in a pair of underwear. Mrs C refused to give him clothes no matter how much he begged.

Anyway, despite everything. Everything went well enough. The lightning might have hurt more than the flames. But it was even briefer, so it was doable.

If the flames caused such pain, he would have quit. It wasn't a level of pain one could take for long.

After that Muku stepped into the Beast Aura trial. He couldn't help but gulp down some saliva. He even wondered if Jade was going to suddenly pop out of the dense green energy and stab him in the gut with her claws. Of course, he knew it was impossible, but the was the Beast Aura seemed to have gotten excited when he stepped into it made him nervous enough to expect such a thing.

Fortunately for him, no Jade came out. However, that wasn't necessary. The pain from the Beast Aura was already enough.

Like the previous elements, their masters weren't needed for them to make him feel the pain...
