Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 185: Containing
Bang out! Bam! Boom up!
A sunny morning begins with a hard workout that shakes the ground and destroys nature.
Natan continued to train and was not allowed to hunt in the swamp area, but he was still able to gain experience for sending Skeleton Squad. The other members also train and get preferential treatment because one team is with him.
His activities for three days were very simple, the morning practiced with Brianna, the afternoon rested, the afternoon practiced with his wives, and the evening did so until morning. So you could say, he only had time to sleep during the day.
But he did not complain despite a short rest or strenuous exercise, because every night, he was spoiled by his wives.
...
Natan knelt on one knee, her left hand resting on the ground and her right hand rubbing blood on her temple. His breathing was heavy and he was very tired from almost half an hour of training, to date, he had not managed to unleash his attacks on Brianna's body. Instead, he was already battered with bruises on his body.
"Mom, I'm your son, how could you hit me like this."
Brianna stared flatly without any change in emotions. "Don't spoil it."
Natan turned her face away from Brianna's gaze. "When Mom promised to pamper me every day, kiss, hug. But it's the other way around, Mom hit me."
Brianna was not moved even when she saw the sad Natan. He raised his hand, then swung it and hit Natan's head quite hard.
Natan did not have time to dodge it did not even turn into a shadow. He hit the ground with his head falling first, making the ground hollow and cracked. He coughed and spewed blood from his mouth, he was weak without being able to stand due to the pain all over his body.
"Nobody can hurt my son but Mom." Brianna turned around without helping Natan stand up. He approached Ainsley who was watching from the side under a tree, sitting on a rock.
"Aren't you being too hard? He's your son, if you don't love him, what if I take him?"
Brianna was stunned, she looked at Natan with a complicated look, then looked back at Ainsley. "I'll kill you if I say that again. I don't care if Natan has a lot of women, I can take it, but not with you!"
Ainsley shook her head slowly. "I'll keep trying until you let me marry her."
"Don't expect."

Natan's training still continues today and she has not been able to touch her mother aside from her repelled attack. This made him a little depressed, as he had already fought powerful monsters, but all of them he had managed to kill, only his mother did not.
Here, not because he wanted to kill his mother, he only wanted to touch her, at least one finger so that he could win.
Bang out!
Natan managed to withstand Brianna's punch by crossing both of her hands in front of her face, but she was still knocked off and felt numbness in her hands.
Then just after he landed, Natan darted back towards Brianna. He stopped in front, raising his hand towards Brianna's face. But before hitting it, Natan turned to his left while bending over, then released a spinning kick with his left foot.
But as before, before it hit, Natan stopped again and moved quickly until he got behind Brianna.
Brianna turned around while swinging her left hand to attack Natan, but all she got was a split black shadow. He flinched and immediately turned around again, but it was too late.
"I caught you, Mother." Natan hugged Brianna from behind with pride.
Brianna was stunned for a moment, then smiled and rubbed Natan's hand that was hugging her stomach. "Well, you've touched Mom. I won't be so hard anymore."
Hearing that, Natan released her embrace and sat on the ground, she heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, after many sacrifices, many broken bones, blood, bruises and so on, he managed to win.
But, Natan was still not satisfied with the result. In any case, the conditions for winning are only touching, not beating normally. If the fight was real, his opponent would probably just stay in place without counterattacking.
Nathan smiled thinly. "No pain at all— Aahh!" He screamed when the bruise on his cheek was pinched.
Brianna chuckled, then she turned her head to look at Calista beside her. "Help him."
Calista nodded. He replaced Brianna to gently clean Natan's wounds.
Natan smiled warmly, she asked Calista to sit next to her so she could stroke Calista's stomach. Yep! Calista was already pregnant with her child, Vely and Olivia were the same, the signs were already visible two days ago. At least ten days after they decided to have a child.
"From today on, you can't do hard work."
Calista nodded small. "Natan said two days ago, I must have remembered. This is the time Nathan says that."
"I'm just worried, after all this is our first child candidate."
Calista smiled faintly, but said nothing more. She knew how worried Natan was, because at first she was also shocked when the signs of pregnancy had come, although she was gloomy because she had been doing it for a week, but did not come.
Vely and Olivia come to help clean Natan's wound.
Natan rubbed their stomachs in turn, giving the same affection.

—Monday, 22 December 2025—
Today, Natan was already allowed to go on an expedition in the swamp to kill monsters with his own hands without the aid of a skeleton.
Vely, Calista and Olivia wanted to go hunting with him, but she might allow him to intervene. Only a fool would let his pregnant wife come to fight together, even if they were not pregnant, he hoped that they would not intervene together to kill monsters.
Even while tracing the swamp, he was just alone not wanting any help from his mother. He can still take care of himself, but not with the others, so ask his mother to protect them all.
Natan looked around as she stood on the skeleton. "Said Mom, originally here was not a swamp. Here is a field, but after half a year, suddenly the forest appears, the land rises around it and green water begins to come out from within the land."
"I know this place is quiet, but seeing it in person, is completely different." Previously, the Skeleton Squad had been sent to explore the swamp, but not to go too deep. It was just the outside to prevent the monsters from coming out.
The quietest place without such a sound was the most terrifying place even though Natan had Mapping. He was afraid that there were monsters that could not be read by the scanning from Mapping, and instead attacked him from behind all of a sudden.
Nathan kept going deeper, the more he went in, the less the sound was heard. Previously, there was still the sound of wind blowing, but now only the sound of Mammoth Tank steps splitting the water flow.
Natan stopped when he saw the red dots that appeared in Mapping from his point of view. They came from the front left, front and front right, rushing here without making a sound.
The red dots continued to approach, but strangely the surrounding water still remained calm, with no movement at all. This made Natan even more cautious of the attacks that might come suddenly in her time of being off guard.
Whoooooooshes!
Nathan avoided something red. He didn't know what it was because it was so fast when it came out of the water. When his gaze caught him, he saw that it was a long, sticky tongue with a green liquid.
Then there was the sound of snoring from the water like the sound of a frog. As the water began to rise, it appeared to be its true form. It was a large red-eyed frog with black at its center. It has a green body with blue stripes. His feet are orange or red.
Natan looked around, and saw other frogs beginning to float in the swamp water. He jumped back, away from the frogs that surrounded him. He knew this frog was not poisonous, but he could not keep up with the common sense of the previous world. After the Destruction of the World, all extremely dangerous animals, even small snails on the ground, might become destructive animals in the present times.
