Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Chapter 63 Shadow Charged!....

Hope was quite shocked by what Emily just did. She'd imaged Emily would throw out another exploding attack or something like that. But not wasting the window she was given, she quickly released the spell she was preparing as the hole Emily had created was already closing.

"Descent of the poison cloud!" Hope exclaimed as a dark green cloud that suddenly appeared in the sky above the spider descended and enveloped it whole.

Most of the poison was stopped by the dome but some of it got through the two holes created by Emily's attack, one in the front and another in the back. Even so, the little that got through was quite effective as it had the spider's newly acquired wound to exploit. The spider started feeling dizzy and couldn't effectively attack as before. But that's all the poison managed to do since there wasn't a lot that got through the holes on the dome before they closed off.

"Sigh, my element really sucks when the enemy has a barrier spell". Hope spoke to herself dejectedly. Then her gaze suddenly snapped back in the direction of Layla. All her senses were warning her to run, but since she knew Layla wouldn't harm her, she didn't listen to them and just waited to see what would happen. The spider was taken care of for at least a minute as it fought off the poison's effect after all. As for Emily, she was swiftly taken away by Muku when she was still falling to the ground, so Hope didn't have any worries right then.

"Step out of the way!". Layla rather hoarse voice called out to her and without asking anything she immediately did. The threatening aura that was coming from Layla who was behind an ice wall was enough to answer any of her questions after all.

Ice cold air gathered in the sky above the battle field casting a shadow on everyone. Interestingly, the air was actually black in color like a raincloud. Hope couldn't help but shiver due to the coldness then it suddenly stopped feeling cold. Muku had stepped in, creating a force field that stopped the cold air from reaching her. To which she smiled broadly while internally thanking her attentive big brother.

"Shadow charged frozen sky lance!" Layla called out and two metre thick and seven metre tall black lance descended from within the raincloud like air descending on the spider that was still disoriented by the poison from Hope.

Just when everyone thought the black lance's sharp end was going to come into contact with the dome around the spider...it actually passed right through!. As of there was nothing there.

Stab!

"CRRRRRRR!". The spider queen cried out in pain as it was nailed down by the lance through its midsection unable to do anything other than sceam and kick it's legs all over the place in pain.

A distance away, just like Emily, Layla also fell unconscious and Muku acted again. As soon as she lost consciousness, the lance that was pinning the spider down, immediately disappeared.

Just before she fainted, Layla heard a voice that made her just as happy as Emily...if not happier.

[50% of Pseudo-Legendary class potential realised...]

....

"Did that attack just....". Muku spoke but didn't finish his sentence.

"Ignore the spider's defence?" Jade finished it.

Seeing them go away, a look of amusement appeared in the monster's eyes but it didn't do anything and waited for them to go further away away before coming out of hiding and consuming the spider's body and going away.

It had bigger issues to worry about right now....time was almost up after all...

.....

More than a kilometre from the battle scene, Muku's group could be seen sitting in a mansion. They had coincidentally wondered to the area where Chloe's house was. And after Chloe mentioned it, they just had to go see it. Which is where they were right now.

"So you lived in this large place all by yourself?". Jade asked Chloe looking at her with pity instead of envy. While it was envious to have such a big house, there was nothing envious about living in it alone.

"Well, not completely, I did have a personal maid who came during the day" Chloe said with a slight smile, but it didn't hide the sadness within her eyes.

"Aw, don't worry, you won't ever be alone from now on okay". Jade immediately stood up and hugged Chloe, Hope joined in as well. Muku and Audrey just looked on with slight smiles on their faces witnessing the beautiful scene.

"Thanks". Chloe said, trying to hold back her tears, but failed. Though after a while she managed to calm down.

"Mmm". Just then, Emily woke up. It had at most been an hour since she fainted. Meaning she woke up a lot sooner than even Chloe from before by at least three hours.

"So, how much did you realise?". Hope asked excitedly not even waiting for Emily to gain her bearings. Well at this point, to their group, fainting after battle automatically meant potential had been awakened so Hope's question wasn't that weird... though a bit too quick. What they didn't know was that normal people realise 5% at most, at once, so their bodies don't get overwhelmed leading to going unconscious. Maybe that's just the difference between legends and normal people.

"30%" Emily replied as a smile appeared on her face.

"Woah, congratulations, I'm so envious!" Hope exclaimed. She was really happy for Emily. Being as observant as she was, although she didn't say anything, she'd long noticed that Emily and Layla were really frustrated about not having realised any of their potential yet. So knowing that Emily would finally relax a little after this, made her happy. The others also congratulated her after Hope, making Emily's smile even broader, blinding Muku for a second.

Around thirty minutes later, Layla also awoke. And when they heard that she'd awakened 50%. Another round of congratulations ensued. Now only Hope and Audrey were left at the peak.. though unlike the ones before them, neither of them felt too much pressure because of their situation, all they really cared about was being together with everyone else. And they knew that eventually even they would realise theirs, soo there was no need to rush.....

98% of it was already blue, meaning in a few hours at most.....
