Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 105: "I’m Death"
At least a hundred naked women were lying naked on the field. Suspicious stains all over their bodies. Their eyes were vacant, as if, despite their bodies being alive, their souls were already dead.
Luckily, Muku and Audrey were walking in front so they saw the horrendous scene first. They immediately barred the two young girls from walking any further and also saw it. Audrey even got to the point of grabbing their hands and taking them back outside. The girls felt that there was something wrong so they didn’t resist.
"Hey!, where are you going!?" Guard 1 shouted out as he saw them coming back. He was sure they hadn’t met their boss yet or they wouldn’t have had a chance to leave. Remembering the scene in the field, he immediately realised that they likely spotted it from afar and immediately turned back. The man must be stopping anyone who saw them from pursuing.
"Girls, can you close your eyes for me?" Audrey spoke to the girls softly, not bothering to answer the guard. Despite her tone being gentle, the girls felt like it was something they couldn’t go against so they immediately closed their eyes.
"Hey, didn’t you hear me"? Guard 1 spoke as he walked closer to them.

Again, Audrey didn’t respond; her grey eyes just emotionlessly looked at the approaching guard. The rest of her face is hidden behind her veil.
"Die" she finally spoke. But she spoke so softly that only Chloe heard her due to her enhanced senses, while Elsa, who was as close as Chloe to Audrey, didn’t hear anything. Chloe was a bit startled since this was the first time Audrey had ever said such a thing, and to a human no less.
Boom! Boom!
"Don’t open your eyes"
Just as Chloe and Elsa were about to open their eyes after hearing two minor explosions. Audrey’s voice stopped them. While Elsa was completely confused, Chloe could somewhat guess what the source of the explosions was. Although she was super shocked by her guess, she wasn’t scared, after all, for Audrey to do such a thing, there must be a good reason. She then found herself curious about what Audrey and Muku saw to warrant such a reaction.
As Chloe wondered, Audrey’s grey eyes reflected a weird scene. The area in front of them was all covered by a bloody mist. The two guards were nowhere to be seen. That’s right, Audrey had killed them by igniting their blood with her mana. While it would be quite hard to do to Rank Twos, it was easy to do these Rank One scum.
The force was so strong that their tattered clothes remained. Everything else, bones included, was destroyed. They died before they even knew that they had been attacked.
Then an even weirder scene happened. The bloody mist started gathering back together until it was liquid blood again. It then swallowed up the tattered clothes and flew into the distance outside the barrier. All that was left of what had happened were the two shallow holes in the ground from the explosions.
"You can open your eyes now," Audrey said to the girls.
"W-What happened? Where are the two guards?" Elsa hesitantly asked. She hadn’t gotten used to talking to the others that much yet.
"Oh that, it was nothing important. The guards went somewhere; I doubt we’ll meet them again," Audrey replied with a straight face.
"O..okay" Elsa didn’t dig deeper. After all, stranger things had happened. After knowing Audrey for over a month, she’d never think that she could kill people. Unless maybe she saw it with her own eyes, and even then, she might think she saw it wrongly.
Chloe, on the other hand, seeing the crime scene, immediately confirmed her thoughts. But she didn’t say anything. Besides, how can she even start such a conversation? Like suddenly saying, "Hey! Did you kill those two guards?" With a smile on her face?...she’d rather not have such an awkward conversation.
"Why didn’t Muku come with us? aren’t we leaving?" Chloe asked; she felt that it was fine to ask that much, at least.
"Don’t worry about him, he’ll come soon. Let’s just wait for him here for a little bit," Audrey replied as the big suitcase she was dragging around turned into three chairs. That’s right; it wasn’t a real suitcase, but instead, beast blood she had decided not to discard since the last battle where Layla almost died because she had to gather blood first. The blood was completely under her control, it didn’t even release a bloody smell. Under her control, it easily turned into three chairs on which they sat as they waited.
At this time, Muku was already knee-deep in a massacre, a rather weird one though...
.....
Inside the arena a few moments ago...
"So this time it wasn’t foreigners who came to cause trouble...they did it themselves" Muku spoke to himself as he looked at the horrible scene in front of him coldly. With his good memory, he could tell that the beasts in human skin that were defiling the women were already at the base the last time he came. Of course, there were a few new faces, like the two guards from before. But they were mostly people who were already around last time, making the chance of it having been an internal coup rather than a raid a lot higher.
"This is why I hate humans, as soon as they gain a little power...They become even worse than beasts," Muku spoke softly, but there was an unmasked anger hidden beneath his soft words.
"Hey, you! Who are you? Why aren’t you outside hunting?... Huh? Oh shit!" A random dude who, on his way to indulge in the field, spoke after seeing Muku. He was one of the boss’s higher-ranked minions, so he knew everyone who worked under them. And Muku’s side view didn’t look like anyone he knew from the gang. As he was asking arrogantly, Muku looked in his direction.
As soon as the dude saw the face. The grey eyes. He immediately remembered a monster that passed threw before. He was immediately overcome by dread. How can he, one of the earliest people to reach the stadium safe zone, not know this monster who took care of the punk gang like it was nothing?
"I’m so.."
Woosh!
Bang!
Just as the dude was about to apologise. He was cut off, along with his life. As he spoke, he suddenly fell to the ground...dead. A multicoloured orb then flew from his body to Muku’s side.
"So that’s what happens when all the metals in a human body are completely stripped away at once huh?" Muku spoke emotionlessly as he started walking closer to the field. If anyone heard his words, they’d probably feel a chill so strong that ice would form on their bodies.
At this point, no one else had noticed what had happened. Apparently, all the males that weren’t part of the gang had either run away or were sent outside to hunt, which was basically sending them to their deaths. Those who were around were gang members who were "preoccupied" and didn’t care about their surroundings.
As for the women, those who weren’t in the field getting defiled were either "reserved" inside the stadium, dead, or had also run away. The current population base was at most in the two hundred from the initial thousands. Most of the population were also unranked women used for venting by the gang members, with a few dying each day.
"Hey!, who are you?" A random dude who had looked up while indulging asked after spotting Muku.
Who had managed to reach the barricade of the field without being noticed despite not trying to be sneaky? He could have gone closer, but the smell from the arena was just too sickening for him to approach. Of course, he could isolate himself with his telekinesis from the smell, but it wasn’t necessary; he was close enough as he wanted to be. Even without the smell, the scene just looked way too disgusting.
"I’m Death" Muku replied.
"Oh, is that so? Hahahaha" The man who wasn’t around last time when Muku was, laughed maniacally. He just happened to be the boss’s right-hand man, and no one had ever dared to talk back to him, especially in such a way. So he was so pissed off he went crazy. What he didn’t notice was that the "local" gang members all started shivering in fear the moment they saw Muku. But before they could say anything, they’d drop dead, familiar orbs coming out of their bodies and heading towards Muku.
By the time the right-hand man, who had his personal women but still liked visiting outside, finished laughing, every other man in the field was dead. Unlike him, the ladies had long noticed this, but they didn’t react, either not wanting to expose Muku, or nothing could move them anymore.
"Men!, get this idiot! I want to break his bones one by one as soon as I’m done here" He ordered before continuing what he was doing. After a few seconds and seeing no movement, he stopped.
"Hey, you fools! didn’t you..huh!?" He exploded out while looking around him, only to cut his statement short after seeing that all his men were lying on the ground motionlessly. There wasn’t even the faintest hint of life coming off any of them. Which meant they were all dead, which meant they all died without even being able to make a sound. A cold chill immediately went down his spine. His little fellow immediately lost strength, shrinking back from its peak two inches to less than an inch.
"Y..you, wh..who are y..you?" He asked while stuttering from fear.
"I told you, I’m Death" Muku replied again, quoting Author-san’s favourite villain...
(A/N....Who really wasn’t a villain, just a bad*ss Bounty Hunter who only lost because he wasn’t the main character...Hmph!)
