Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 205: Shadow Domain!
"Rain of Silver" Muku cast a spell the moment he reached the spies.
Silver, water-drop-shaped metal appeared in the sky above the spy.
Before they could react. The metal rained down on them at unimaginable speeds.
Some were killed off without even being able to react. Some managed to react and put up different defences. However, the power difference was too large and they were also killed off.
Their defences didn't slow down the bullets even by a millisecond. Those who were a bit of distance away wanted to run away. However, they were also killed off before they could even break out of their tree disguises.
By the time Muku was done with his side. It looked like a bunch of trees were bleeding human blood.
.....
On Jade's side...
She arrived at a slightly slower time than Muku. Which gave some spies the time to ditch their disguises. However, before they could do anything else. She was on them.
Her method of killing was even more brutal than Muku's. She went right for the head. She ran around blowing one head after the other with her Beast Aura-covered fists.
Her speed was so fast that by the time the brain matter spread all over the place. She was already a distance away. The matter that got on her fists from the punches was immediately burnt away by her green flames.
She was done with her part within a minute. No spy even managed to scream before dying.
"Huff... I feel a lot better now. Who the hell said that killing humans was different from killing animals? That didn't feel different at all... Maybe I'm just crazy..." Jade spoke to herself while looking around with an oddly calm expression.
It seemed the bloody sight didn't bother her at all. For a human to not be affected by such a thing. Especially when it was their first time doing it. Maybe she really was crazy...
...
On Layla's side...
Her group was the smallest with only three spies left. However, they had enough time to react.
So, they all used the spell that qualified them to be in that job. "Earth Escape!"
It was a spell that allowed them to literally dive into the ground and swim away. They would become completely undetectable as well. Which would have been great for spying if it didn't drain their mana like crazy. It was how they all got into position in the first place.
While the skill couldn't get them all the way to the NL Base. It could at least give them a better chance of making it.
So, the three dived into the ground and went in three separate directions. Layla barely missed them. However, she wasn't worried. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
She had been prepared for something to go wrong anyway. She was actually hoping for it to happen. For it gave her the chance to try out her new trick...
"Shadow domain" She called out softly.
The area within two kilometres around her turned pitch black. Forming a black dome if one looked from a distance away.
Unlike physical element domain. Energy domains didn't start out small. Which made them perfect for scenarios like the one Layla was in.
Despite their larger sizes making them less potent than physical domains at the beginning. They were still strong enough for the enemies Layla was facing.
She knew of their weak strength from the start. So, she was pretty certain that the skill they used wouldn't take them past two kilometres. She had been weak before so, she was certain of that.
As she predicted. The three spies reappeared within the barrier. They had managed to get close to one and a half kilometres away. Which was better than she thought. Luckily she had been careful and stretched her domain as far as she could.
The three spies who had appeared in three different directions looked around them in confusion. They were wondering if they had lost their sight. After all, it was still early in the morning. The sun had just come up. So, there was no way it was already night. A completely black night at that.
However, they didn't get a chance to contemplate the situation a little more. All three had their heads instantly sliced off their heads within three seconds after emerging.
This was because Layla's Shadow Domain had a broken ability. Which she called "Omnipresence" Within her domain. She was aware of anything and everything. And, she could appear anywhere instantly.
So, the spies had lost the moment they fell into her domain. Only strong opponents of around the same strength had a slight chance of being able to resist.
Obviously, stronger ones could dispel her domain. So they were the only ones who were absolutely safe from the devastating ability... until she became as strong as them.
A horrifying fact about her domain was the fact that it was still just an embryo. It wasn't a completely formed domain yet. This meant that there was a high chance new capabilities would be included in the future.
Thinking of such possibilities made Layla wonder what she was thinking in the past. She once looked down on her shadow element. Taking it as a support for her ice. Although it has always been a vital part of her "Shadow Charged" series of spells. Which were definitely her best and strongest.
Well, that time had passed. She had the feeling that her shadow element would only get more and more outstanding from then on.
Of course, there were drawbacks. It drained at least three times more energy to use her shadow domain than her ice domain. From that math, she knew that realising her ultimate idea into reality wasn't going to be easy...
With the spies taken care of. Muku and the two girls returned to the mansion. There was less than an hour left until the awaited moment...
.....
At NL Base...
"Hhm?! All twenty were killed? It seems my future friends are a lot more capable than I thought. Does this mean war? Maybe it wasn't a fluke that they managed to resist me before... How interesting..." Abel who had his eyes closed while relaxing in his room spoke to himself.
He didn't even bother opening them. He was so relaxed that one might think he didn't know about the pending WE.
And as for how he knew about the deaths of his spies without being there? Only he knew such information...
.....
A while later, at the mansion...
"Okay, is everybody ready? We have roughly around ten minutes before the evolution..." Muku asked the girls who were seated around him.
He had already lifted the mansion into the air in preparation. The WE could begin at any moment after all. A matter worthy of note was how the mansion had gotten a lot easier to carry after Freya's rank-up.
As for why that was. He didn't know. He wasn't complaining though. He could probably keep the mansion levitating for a month or more with its current negligible mental energy consumption.
The difference was almost as big as the one between heaven and earth when compared to before. He remembered the first time when his head almost exploded from just lifting it up two meters. Times were really changing...
"Yeah. We're ready. We can't wait to get the matter over with so we can proceed with the NL Base plan and then move on with our lives. I feel like we've been here too long despite it only being a few days" Emily was the one who replied first.
She took the chance to express her dislike of their current location. Which was understandable when there was a Monarch lurking around. The Ares experience was enough for her.
If it wasn't for wanting to help Chloe. She would have definitely urged the others to leave the moment the Monarch was mentioned. Though they probably wouldn't have needed urging...
"I agree. This place sucks" Surprisingly, it was Chloe who supported her first.
Although she has reunited with her father because they went there. The bad news that came with it was just way too much. She was even cursing her father in her head for getting into such a mess.
How dare he ditch her for years, only to turn up in such a situation. Maybe she should team up with everyone after saving him and beat him up. Such venting would be acceptable after such an ordeal right?
[Time up. World Evolution will begin in 10... 9... 8... 7...]
Just as the group was getting into the conversation. A familiar voice rang out in their heads. Along with the heads of everyone else all over the world.
It was time for the world to change again. Which will bring both new opportunities and disasters for everyone involved.Some were excited. Most were scared out of their minds.
Well, whatever the state of mind people were in. The evolution had come. What their fate would be. Everyone would find out soon...
