Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 100: The King I Am
Vixy, the red fox who just appeared, walked slowly toward Diane. As she did so she took a look around, memories flashing past her eyes.
She had not stayed in this place for a long time, perhaps a dyor slightly more. But she remembered she hadn’t come here alone.
Along with her kidnappers, the lions, he had come here with her partner, the one who she had formed a bond with over many matings.
She had come here with a partner who he had imagined surviving the savage lands together till their old age.
That imagination would never come through as she was unable to leave here with her life partner. All because of a blunder.
She looked at the corner of the cave entrance, she could still remember that Ivan and she had slept there on the ground, tapping into each other’s warmth.
However, despite the fond memories passing through her mind, she remained rather indifferent. There was a new glint of ruthlessness and acceptance in her eyes, one that wasn’t there before more than six months ago.
Adding those to her already cunning nature, presented a really mischievous-looking fox.
When she heard her name from Diane, she paused, looking at the muscular lioness warily.
She had been battling with serious trust issues since that day when she saw Kael eat up Ivan with her naked eyes. There were nights when she could still see the gaze of despair Ivan gave her before he was munched to death.
Vixy narrowed her eyes at Diane, at which Diane simply tilted her head to the side, wondering if something was wrong with the fox.
It had been months since she saw the vixen, and Diane still remembered the look of devastation Vixy had when she realized that she had indirectly sentenced Ivan to death.
It was a brutal world and one that was very unfair, but wasn’t life unfair in general? Diane didn’t see anything wrong with the way Ivan had died, and neither did she care about how Vixy felt.
To her, what had happened was necessary for her King to be able to advance. She didn’t see any wrong, neither did she see any right. All she saw was an expression of strength that Vixy had no way to fight against.
"Long time," Diane said, her voice was revived by the red spirit fox.
Vixy in response, unfurled her tails and a red spirit energy began to be emitted from her body.
Diane frowned, not because of the might of Vixy’s aura but because of the number of tails that were now behind her.
If she remembers correctly, Vixy had two tails that would wave around in a mesmerizing way that distracted her opponents.
Now, Vixy had three red and white fluffy tails waving around behind her. She had evolved, that itself could be seen
Diane’s eyes were trained on those three fluffy tails, and for some reason, she was unable to shift her gaze away.
At the same time, her mind spun. She could guess what Vixy had undergone one evolution, then why was her aura not as strong as a typical tier 3 lion?
Diane’s eyes were turning red as she was lost in a trance without even knowing. Priya who was there but still in meditation mode frowned.
Her eyelids twitched as a surprising amount of spirit energy was about to be released from her brows. Vixy felt her senses tingling as the feeling of fear nearly overwhelmed her.

Priya had not even released her powers yet Vixy knew that she would not be able to defend against whatever she wanted to do.
However, before Priya could open her eyes and take action, a masculine voice entered the vicinity as a calm telepathic wave.
"Vixy, how nice of you to drop by…" Kael said as he walked out of the bushes and moved toward the dazed Diane. As soon as he appeared, his own spirit energy flowed out like water from a dam, washing away all the effects Vixy had on Diane.
As soon as Diane snapped out of her trance and realized what had happened, she growled, exposing her terrifying fangs. If not that a humanoid figure had come to stand in front of her, she would have gone ahead to rip this red fox to meat shreds.
"...And you even have the mind to probe Diane. Hehe, I don’t know if you’re fearless, stupid, or just looking for trouble." Kael said.
From the intensity of Vixy’s spirit energy that drilled into Diane’s mind when compared to the spirit energy that had actually been on her body, Kael could tell that Vixy had simply been probing for Diane’s strengths and weaknesses.
Perhaps, if she had found a weakness, Vixy would have exploited it to harm Diane.
"Good day, Kael," Vixy said. There was no hate in her voice and she did not look at Kael in an unfriendly way. She acted as casual as she could be.
"I know it’s a good day, especially with you showing up all of a sudden. You have evolved, I see…" Kael said while observing the three red and white tails behind her back.
He could also feel that although she had evolved, there were not many changes to her appearance and her aura was stronger than an average tier 2 lion but still weaker than a typical tier 3 lion.
It was just as N’bayé’s theory stated: The weaker the creature, the higher the number of evolutions they would need to go through to catch up, and vice versa.
"...I’m afraid if you came for revenge, you won’t get it," Kael said nonchalantly.
"I did not come for revenge, I believe I’m above that," Vixy stated while sitting down. Her eyes squinted until they were fine slits as she looked up at Kael’s humanoid face.
"N’bayé told me to come back if I ever heard that you awoke from your transformation slumber." She said.
"Oh, word sure spreads slowly in the forest," Kael said sarcastically.
At this time, Zabita walked out of the cave to see Vixy standing there with a visible red aura surrounding her. "Oh, it’s Vixy." She spoke into the cave.
There was no noise and no reaction, those inside the cave had no desire to come out and meet the red fox, maybe they were too tired…
"It’s good that you came though, you could be of good use to me," Kael uttered as he put his hand behind his back and walked toward Vixy.
Vixy’s body flinched, she would rather not be too close to this dangerous lion in human form.
"Use me? Do you only think of me as something to use for your goals?" She asked, although she already knew the answer.
Kael’s bare feet tapped the stony ground, his golden toenails decorated with little pieces of soil.
"Yes, I do. It’s the same way I have come to treat most people." Kael did not lie, he spoke words that he could support with his fist.
"Most people?" Vixy wondered, picking up a keyword in Kael’s sentence.
Then the bushy side that Kael had walked over from shook slightly as an azure-scaled head popped out from behind the tree. It was Burdo.
Vixy glanced at this water lion, feeling the weak aura coming off from his body before losing interest.
"Is that why you killed Ivan?" Vixy asked.
"No, at that time, my mind didn’t work the way it did now. Ivan was a victim of circumstances, besides, you chose I’m to disonthatbyou can save your life." Kael said as he began to circle around the large red fox.
Vixy sighed after she heard Kael’s words. She closed her eyes and took in deep breaths, trying to calm her mind.
Before she came, she assumed she would be able to control herself, but now it was proving harder than he thought.
Burdo, who followed Kael, observed all this. He could not hear their discussion as the telepathic channel was private but he could feel the tension in the air.
Then there was Diane who stood over there with her claws bared, ready to spill blood if given a chance.
"I did not come here to antagonize you Kael," Vixy said.
"Oh, that’s good for you then. Why did you come to me then? Were you afraid that I would kill you on sight just like I promised?
Hehe, Vixy, you and I are somewhat smart people. We both know that the only reason I would fulfill a promise is if it is convenient…" Kael ended his words with a devilish chuckle.
"I want to be part of your kingdom, that’s why I came." Vixy finally said, unable to withstand the spirit pressure that Kael had been silently stacking on her mind.
Kael’s hand reached down to grab one of the fluffy tails. The tails were large and fluffy, allowing Kael to be able to hold the tip without bending down.
"You want to join my kingdom…" Kael suddenly gripped the tail hard, earning him a yelp of pain from the red fox.
"...but you do not address me like the King I am."
