Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 248: Audrey vs. the Flaming Cheetah!

Back on The Blue Planet: Three Months Later...

Boom!

Bang!

"Cough! Cough! Argh. This hurts so bad. However, I won’t stop now. I promised myself that I will be a lot stronger when he comes back after all. And that means I’ll have to take your life" Audrey spoke to herself as she dislodged herself from the tree she had smashed into.

Her resolute eyes were locked onto a five-metre-tall beast. It looked a lot like a cheetah besides its crimson body with red flames burning on its back. Its spots were still black like a normal cheetah’s. Its eyes were a glowing red in colour.

From its build, it was easy to figure out that it was a speed-type beast. A speedy one too... Which it was. It left trails of fire wherever it passed. Despite its size, it could blitz all over the place.

Then again, consider its rank. It actually wasn’t that big at all. After all, it was a LR3 beast. Such beasts were usually ten-plus metres tall. It seems that even as a beast, cheetahs will always have a smaller body than most. Such was the sacrifice they had to make for their speed...

Anyway, as a Rank Three. Its strength was equal to Audrey’s. Which was both a blessing and a curse for her.

This was because their domains cancelled each other out. So, neither could use their cheat skills which only worked in their domains.

The battle became more physical than magical due to that. Which was because both could easily dodge normal spells cast by the other outside domains.

In normal cases, Audrey would be happy in a situation. A situation where her’s and the opponent’s domain cancelled each other out. After all, she was quite fast. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, she didn’t have the speed advantage in the current situation.

That solely belonged to the cheetah in their current exchange. Her beat-up condition was proof of that. The cheetah had landed at least five times the amount of hits she had landed on it, on her.

She would have long been killed off if it weren’t for her blood armour. Though that wouldn’t save her for much longer. After all, some of the blood would get burned away every time the two parties clashed.

At present, she was only left with enough blood to cover the vital parts. Her legs and arms were completely exposed. There were already some scratch marks and burn marks on her arms.

She was seeing the shortcoming of not being able to create her element out of thin air like the others. It really sucked and felt unfair. Sure, she could do a lot more things than most, but still...

Only if she could use her domain. She could create blood in there after all...

"Tsk, you could at least roar or something. Am I so easily dismissible to you? Whatever, you can die in silence then..." Audrey who had become a lot more irritable in the past few months spoke again.

While she still behaved normally around the girls, she would completely switch personalities when outside. She’d completely let herself go and just vent. Yet, no matter how much she vented. She never felt any better. Maybe she’ll only feel better once Muku is standing in front of her again...

Anyway, she rushed forward the moment she finished speaking. The beast, she had decided to call Flaming Cheetah just looked on as she approached.

There was a playful look in her eyes. Audrey’s struggle was all a game to it. Who cared that their domains were equal in strength? That didn’t affect the battle at all. After all, even without its domain, it could end the human whenever it felt like it.

The difference in their natural abilities was just that big. So, it decided to play around with its food a bit before ending it. It was bored and had nothing better to do afterwards anyway.

"Rooooar!" The cheetah roared just when Audrey was about to reach it. Flaming arrows appeared around it and shot at Audrey.

This of course forced the lady to prematurely end her charge and dodge instead.

Glee appeared in the Flaming Cheetah’s eyes as it saw this. It quite liked seeing her jump all over the place as she dodged its fire arrows. In its head, it was probably singing "dance monkey, dance"

"How dare you play around with me?! I’ll show you!" Audrey angrily shouted.

She made a crimson shield with some of the blood she had left. She began charging forward again. This time she blocked the attacks with the shield instead of dodging them.

She didn’t care that each time the shield was hit, some of the blood got burned away. All she cared about was reaching the arrogant beast.

Her efforts fruit as she reached the cheetah. Even though she reached it, it was still as nonchalant as ever. After all, it had burnt away most of her blood. And it knew that she couldn’t simply create more like it did with its flames.

So, it was curious to see what she wanted to do. It also wanted to see her expression after it foils whatever she was planning. It was smart enough to find joy in the enemy’s despair, after all. Hell, it quite enjoyed it. Just like it had enjoyed the meat of a few humans before...

Stab!

Audrey created a spear with her remaining blood. She held it above her head with her left hand and stabbed towards the Cheetah’s face. She was obviously targeting its eyes.

The plan was so obvious that the cheetah saw through it instantly. It then raised its paw and slapped the blood spear away.

Swipe!

Slash!

It immediately wanted to give Audrey a smug look. However, before it could do that it felt something familiar. Something it hadn’t felt for a long time... It felt pain. And it hurt a lot!

It instantly looked at the place where the pain was coming from. Its eyes widened to the max from what it saw. Or what it didn’t see, to be exact... It’s leg, the very leg it had used to smack Audrey’s spear was missing.

Blood was gushing out of the wound like crazy. The sight perplexed it for a bit. It couldn’t understand what the hell was going on. When and how did it lose its leg?!

There was only one answer... Audrey! The moment it realised that, anger unlike any other it had ever felt before rose from inside it.

Its eyes immediately began looking for Audrey. It didn’t take long for them to land on her.

She was standing more than ten meters away from it. It seemed she had made her retreat immediately after making her move.

However, its eyes didn’t focus on her for long. They focused on what she was holding. In her left hand, there it was... Its missing leg!

The worst part was how she had sunk her fangs deep into it. She was drinking its blood from the leg. It didn’t take long for the leg to wilt. Audrey threw it to the ground soon after.

"Argh! This tastes horrible. I guess normal blood just doesn’t do it for me after tasting his blood. I miss him even more now... This is all your fault, you and your trash blood. Well, at the very least, it seems your blood has some use despite the horrible taste" Audrey cursed the cheetah out. All the injuries were quickly closing up as she did so.

She wasn’t able to completely heal herself. However, all the serious injuries from before were now minor, and the minor ones were gone. She could pretty much fight to the best of her abilities again. After all, she no longer had serious injuries which held her back from moving too much.

The flaming cheetah looked on as she did her thing. The look in its eyes was getting darker and darker as it did so. How could it not her angrier when it just watched its food eat its body part?

However, it didn’t let its anger consume it. It had to figure out how it lost its leg after all. And it didn’t take long for it to figure that out.

Its eyes focused on Audrey’s right hand. No, not her right hand, but the hand’s nails. The hand’s more than a metre long, sharp and metallic silver-looking nails... It instantly realised how it had lost its leg. Audrey had cut it off with those nails. To think she had a card she was hiding all this time she was getting beaten. How hateful! Such a human thing to do!

"Hehe, how do you like my cute nails? You should be honoured you know. I don’t normally use them. I don’t need to. So you should feel proud for pushing me this far. As a reward, I’ll kill you as painlessly as I can" Audrey who still had her fangs out and a bloody mouth spoke.

Her eyes weren’t silver anymore. They had turned red like the blood she controls and drinks. She had a creepy smile on her face as she did so. Quite frankly she looked so creepy that the cheetah was freaked out a bit.

However, it quickly shook that feeling off. There was no need to fear someone who only succeeded in landing a serious attack through cunningness and luck.

Its anger instantly rose again after that realisation. It was time to finish the fight. Its wound which it had been slowly burning shut with its flames was also taken care of.

So, what if it couldn’t use its speed to kill Audrey anymore? It could still burn her to a crisp!...
