Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Chapter 85 Jack and Sarah's prowess

The next morning....

Everyone was ready, Muku's group had already arrived. They were already seated in one of the five trucks that were going on the expedition. Apparently, Jack's group kept these trucks and two fuel tankers in the safe zone, saving them from being either destroyed by beasts or the world's evolution from before. They were really lucky to have all of them. Especially now when they needed to go on such a long supply run.@@@@

"Never thought I'd get to ride a car again," Hope said excitedly.

"Tsk, this is nothing compared to a flying mansion" Jade replied with a pout on her face.

"What? Still salty about losing at rock paper scissors?" Muku took a jab at her.

"Why are you so happy when you lost too!?" Jade snapped at him.

"Well, I don't mind sitting at the back, but you clearly do" Muku defended himself with a smug smile on his face.

"Tsk, whatever" Jade didn't want to talk to him anymore lest she say something that would get her a spanking.

Like Muku said. They had lost at a rock-paper-scissors match, so they had to sit in the back. The front of the truck could only fit three people in. Audrey was the driver, and Elsa got a sit because of her child privilege. And the last seat went to Chloe who won the rock-paper-scissors match. Everyone else was sitting in the back.

While Muku, Hope and Emily were fine with it. Jade and Layla were gloomy because of it, just that Layla didn't voice it. But it was obvious by the chilling aura that she was released that made the others gather around Emily, who had a wry smile as she released a bit of her aura, knowing what they wanted. They were again made painfully aware of how much Layla didn't like losing at anything.

"Ah, finally, we're setting off; this is going to be fun!" Hope was still as excited as ever.

"Until the sound of the trucks draws beasts our way, maybe", Jade spoke, trying to dampen Hope's mood, but it did the opposite.

"That's even better, I can get target practice!" Hope replied even more excitedly.

"Ahh! Get away from me; you're so positive it's blinding my eyes!" Jade exaggeratedly said while blocking her eyes. Hearing her, everybody laughed, even Layla smiled a bit. They were enjoying the trip quite a bit.

The people on the other trucks looked at them with odd expressions. While they were all tense, getting ready to fight off any sudden attacks, the other group was clearly enjoying the ride without a care in the world. Seeing the scene stifled their hearts greatly. Is this what the difference between experts and side characters like them led to.?

"Hey, are you sure about leaving the mansion unattended?" Jade said after they finished speaking.

"Yeah, it should be okay; beasts don't usually stray too close to safe zones, after all", Muku replied with no worry in his voice.

"Growl!"

"Growl!....."

It was as if the wolves were waiting for this moment as that's also the moment they lunged forward. Their yellow eyes filled with brutality with only one thought in their heads, which was to rip all these noisy humans into pieces and devour every last one of them.

"Strength buff!" Sarah was the first to cast a spell. It was surprisingly a support spell which was the first time Muku's group came across such a thing. A faint yellow glow immediately enveloped all the evolver and their auras got a bit stronger as they charged forward to meet the wolves in battle. Their eyes were just as crazy as those of the wolves, though their craziness was powered by their backup.

"Crimson body!" Jack was the next to cast his own spell. His body was immediately enveloped by red flames, and his speed took another leap. He was the first one to meet the wolves.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Within ten seconds, he had punched four wolves back into the pack, and he showed no signs of stopping. He madly punched the wolves left and right. But sadly his punches weren't strong enough to kill them in one shot. The wolves radiated earth elements, which might have played a part in their defence even though they couldn't use it. But those he hit still took a bit of time to get back up again and shake off the dizziness.

Soon, the others joined him, and their struggle against the wolves began. That was when Muku's group noticed that Jack had been targeting the stronger wolves and leaving the weaker ones for his group so that they could somewhat fight them off.

...

"He's good" Muku commented.

"Yeah, a bit weak but knows what he's doing. Hey Emily, why can't you do what he's doing?" Jade replied then asked Emily a question.

"That's probably something class-related; my flames can't enhance my body's state", Emily replied, not too bothered by it. She would have liked being able to do it as well, but still, her class offered way more and could do a lot more damage.

.....

The battle had gone on for around five minutes, and somehow, Jack's group was still holding on. They were now struggling a bit due to their fatigue but were holding on nonetheless. The importance of Sarah's class was highlighted in this instance; although she was always at the back getting supported, she would cast "Rejuvenate" on whoever couldn't take it anymore, and they immediately regained half of their stamina.

"Wow, what an interesting class!" Hope exclaimed while looking at Sarah with glowing eyes.

"Your "Hallowed Ground can do a lot more though?" Jade spoke with a bit of confusion. She wondered as to why Hope would be impressed by someone less impressive than her.

"Be that as it may, just because I'm better than someone doesn't mean I can't acknowledge their skill right?" Hope answered in a way beyond her years.

"Hmm, I guess you're right....oh, it seems the leader is finally about to make his move", Jade was replying to Hope when she and the rest sensed the leader, who had stood back until now, about to make his move.
