Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 203: Rank Two Freya!

Early morning, the next day...

There were just a few hours left before the World Evolution commenced. Everyone was gathered in the lounge.

Even Jade was present. She seemed to be feeling a lot better than the day before. Which was good. Muku wanted to talk with her for a bit. However, it wasn't the right time. So, he had to put it off for a bit.

There was something major about to happen. Which they both wanted to be around for. It was probably why Jade even bothered coming out. Maybe with some nagging from Emily. But still...

Anyway, their plans seemed to be going in the right direction. Almost everyone had successfully ranked up!

Only Freya was left. She could have done so away from the other but she chose to gather everyone before doing so. She wanted everyone to be around for the event. She had the feeling that it was going to be something special.

"Okay. Everyone is here. You can go ahead and start now" Muku spoke while looking at Freya with expectation in his eyes.

As for what happened the previous day with Layla and whatnot? He had decided to forget all about it. Not like he could do much to the snitch anyway. After sitting back and thinking about it. He had pretty much figured out who the snitch was.

It was likely Emily. That brat's smug expression when Layla asked to speak with him said it all. She definitely knew what was up. She was so petty that she sold him out even after getting a good deal out of him.

Anyway, he didn't mind. It just showed how much it hurt her. She was just venting. All that mattered now was going forward with their plans for the future.

The first major event on the agenda was Freya's rank-up. They were all very curious to see how it would change the mansion.

"Okay" Freya replied then closed her eyes as she sat cross-legged on the mat.

The moment she did the others could sense her mana quickly leaving her body and getting absorbed into the mansion. Glowing white lines that made patterns that were somewhat similar to those on circuit boards appeared on the walls and floors.

Every wall and floor in every room of the mansion was covered by the markings. The others just looked on with awe waiting to see what happens.

"Can you please create for me the strongest metal you can?... Which isn't Mithril"

Freya who had suddenly opened her eyes asked Muku to do something.

"Sure... How much?" Muku didn't ask any questions. He was willing to help in any way he could.

"There... Feed it into that whirlpool. I'll tell you when to stop. In different colours please" Freya replied while pointing at a weird whirlwind that had appeared on the floor. It looked like the floor had turned to liquid as it was really swirling around like a whirlpool does.

"O... Kay" Muku was a bit startled by the appearance of the whirlpool. However, he still did as he was told. He then began creating the strongest metal he could and began feeding it into the whirlpool.

He thought that he'd be done after doing it for a little bit of time. However, even ten minutes later he was still feeding the whirlpool that seemed like a bottomless pit at that point.

He didn't stop though. It made him feel even more fired up. He wanted to see how much of his metal could the whirlpool take.

It was only after thirty minutes that Freya finally told him to stop. She actually managed to make him expend almost half of his mana. Which was something even the strongest R2 wouldn't be able to do in battle.

While the circumstances were different from a battle. It still increased the expectations Muku and the girls had for what Freya was about to do... Whatever it was.

"Everyone... Please close your eyes" Freya gave the others a warning.

No one was feeling rebellious. So, they all did what they were told. Even though they did as they were told. Their eyes were still affected a bit.

This was because an intense white light instantly covered the whole mansion the moment they did. It was so bright that their eyelids couldn't completely block off the light. They all reflexly covered their eyes with their hands after that. Which did a better job.

The light wasn't just a quick flash. It persisted for around thirty seconds before finally fading.

"It's okay to open them now..." Freya's tired voice sounded soon after. It was only then that everyone opened their eyes.

"What was that abo... Woah!" Muku's sentence was interrupted by the sight in front of him.

Wherever he looked. He was met by an awe-inspiring site. He knew that it was still the same mansion. However, the way it looked, he suspected that he had been transported somewhere else.

It looked super luxurious before. However, now it looked not only luxurious by inviting at the same time.

The walls and floors had been replaced or infused with the metal he created before. The floor was now a mixture of black and silver tiles arranged in a certain order. It was mostly black with streaks of silver going in between the larger black spots.

The walls were mostly a dark grey with golden linings. Which was the pattern the roof followed. Golden circles were going on around the Beast Core lights. The decorative chandelier was golden as well.

Even some of the furniture, such as chairs and tables had been affected. They were made a lot more durable and better looking. There were a lot of other things which won't be mentioned because the author isn't an interior designer so he doesn't know what those things are either...

He's also mansionless so...

That all wasn't the best part, however. The best part was how, somehow, Freya managed to preserve the R3 properties of the metal. For that reason. The mansion's physical defensive capabilities could ward off attacks from normal R3s.

As Muku's current strongest metal. Despite having created it at LR3. It could actually ward off attacks of up to PR3s as long as the attackers aren't anything special and they don't use their domain.

It was almost impossible for an R3 not to use their domain. However, it was a huge improvement from the initial R1 defence. Now, as long as they ignored the normal objects in the mansion. Elsa and Freya could literally use all their abilities without having to worry about destroying the mansion.

Hell, even the others could use their abilities inside as long as they were weaker attacks. If Muku had used his Mithril, maybe even the group's strongest attacks wouldn't have been able to do anything to the mansion.

"That's not all. Let's go outside. There's something I want to show you all" Freya spoke before anyone could say anything else.

She tried to get up on her own but her body felt too weak to do so. Emily went to help her up. With Emily's help, she led the group outside.

Soon they were outside and looking back at the mansion. Awe in their eyes. It looked different from the outside as well. However, that wasn't what Freya wanted to show them.

"Weapons!" Freya called out. The word she called out made the group open their eyes wide even before something happened. It was pretty obvious what was to come from the word alone.

The very next moment, large silver guns appeared on the roof of the mansion. There were ten large guns on the roof. Every direction had at least two guns pointing there. They looked really imposing.

"Fire!" Freya called out again.

Whoosh!

BOOOM!

A fiery yellow energy beam came out of one of the guns and shot into the distance. A large boom sound was heard soon after when it reached the ground.

The attack was surprisingly as strong as a Psuedo-R3's!

Everyone was greatly shocked. Freya had just reached R2. How the hell was her firepower so strong already?! Even with the KP from the dragon incident only got her to MR2. Just like Elsa.

Elsa was the most impacted by Freya's display of strength. She had secretly been happy about being stronger than someone. However, now it appeared she was the weakest again. That wasn't a problem.

The problem was how she had been surpassed so easily and by such a large margin. She didn't even get a chance to fight back. Which really sucked. How was that fair?

"How are you so strong already?!" Elsa couldn't stay silent in such a situation. So, she asked the question on everyone's mind.

"Huh?... Oh! You think that's my strength? No, no! That's the power from a beast core. Without beast cores, I wouldn't even be able to shoot one beam with my current mana. It takes a lot to operate the whole mansion" Freya was first confused by what Elsa was talking about.

She quickly cleared things up after understanding what she meant. Her class was obviously pretty amazing. However, it was heavily dependent on resources. Which the others might have missed after being blinded by its various functions.

She on her own was still the weakest in the team. So, she didn't feel overly happy despite her upgrade...
