Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 103: Rising Aura

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, marking the end of the one-month rest period.

Today was bound to be a fateful day as within the cave of N’bayé, at its depths, three lionesses who had previously been still as a rock, began to stir awake.

Three powerful auras erupted from the cave despite the protective runes doing their best to hide them.

Kael stood outside the cave in his lion form, a confident smile on his handsome furry face.

Behind him was Commander Bibi and behind Commander Bibi was an army of wolves. The wolf army behind them numbered almost one hundred and fifty.

Commander Bibi had spent the last two weeks recruiting as many wolves as he could find. Although most of the wolves that wanted to join were abandoned elderly and young wolves, he was still able to find enough combat-ready wolves.

The collective aura of the grey wolf army was terrifying and suffocating. There were three more tier 2 wolves, enhancing their collective strength.

Each wolf had a fierce expressions on their face, they looked like they were ready to die for their king’s cause.

Kael stared at the cave entrance, his eyes burrowing into the darkness to see the rising mass of green fur. He wanted them to rest after their successful evolution, maybe even rest, but he couldn’t allow that.

Every moment he wasted, Darius drew closer to tier 4. He couldn’t afford to waste more time, even if it meant the three lionesses being dissatisfied.

Priya, who was usually meditating outside the cave entrance, had been moved to the six-tree magic clearing where she would stay with N’bayé. For the upcoming battles, it would be best if N’bayé controlled everything with her magic trees.

The magic runes protecting the cave went off, allowing the inside to be seen. There was no use in directing energy to this place for now.

Thumping sounds could now be heard as well as scraping sounds. Those were the sounds of heavy footsteps as well as the sounds of sharp claws scraping the hard ground.

The first lioness to wake slowly revealed herself to the lions and wolves. Vibrant green fur unlike anything he had ever seen before, two antlers decorated her head and her aura was magnificent.

Kael could feel his power over vegetation getting stronger as he looked at his mother, Nalii.

Nalii was now huge. Whereas Kael was as tall as an adult man in his lion form, Nalii was slightly shorter but still huge nonetheless.

Her antlers were bigger and thicker, looking like they could handle a lot of stress. The black antlers were decorated with green lines that reached from the base to the sharp tips.

Her two eyes were now a dark shade of green and black, beautiful to look at.

Nalii could not contain her power just yet and so it erupted forth and caused changes around her. The stone ground broke off as green vines and flowers shot out from the deep earth.

The ground trembled as the stones were struggling to suppress something that was trying to come out.

"Mother!" Kael called out, bringing Nalii to her right senses. Nalii’s confused eyes traced Kael’s golden form, then the wolves behind him.

She could see Zabita, Ruda, Diane, and Olivia among the wolf army.

Commander Bibi bowed his head, not daring to look Nalii in the eye. He felt like if he did, she would notice and immediately take action.

However, Nalii revealed a warm and gentle expression as she started to recall everything before she went into slumber.

She looked down at herself, observing how far her eyes were from the ground and how big her paws had become.

More thumping steps were heard as two more lionesses walked out of the cave.

Instantly, the temperature rose and the wolves opened their mouths and let down their tongues as they breathed heavily.

The lioness that stood beside Nalii was of the same size as the green lioness. Her fur was lustrous and dark brown, like a regular lioness.

In fact, apart from her huge size, she looked like a normal lioness unless one took a closer look.

Her eyes were pitch black. No, they were empty. Those weren’t eyes, they were mini black holes that twisted light around them.

She blinked once and the mini black holes disappeared, replaced with regular lion eyes.

Space twisted as she swished her tail excitedly. Unlike Nalii who seemed to have been confused at first, Katari didn’t have this issue.

As soon as she saw Kael, she revealed an excited expression and space began to crack around her as if to mirror her current emotional state.

Something bad would have happened if Kael had not quickly sent her a calming telepathic message.

Next to Katari, a lioness covered in raging flames stood and looked around with eyes that showed anticipation.

Eidel’s bright orange fur was now covered in hot flames, even her eyes let out tongues of flames. Every breath she took was followed by a heat wave.

The heat she was releasing clashed with the vines Nalii was subconsciously drawing forth from the ground. The smell of burnt wood soon filled the air as the aura of the three lionesses spread far and wide.

What was most interesting about Eidel was that she now had two tails. At the end of one tail was a bright red flame, on the other tail was a chilly white flame.

"My consorts, hope you slept well?" Kael said and smiled, revealing his metallic gold teeth. He exchanged greetings with the three lionesses.

To Katari, Nalii, and Eidel, they had simply closed their eyes for an instant before opening them. They were unaware of how much time had passed.

"Sorry for this but we have to act now, we don’t have time…" Kael said as he began explaining the plan to them.

At the same time, Burdo and his five water lionesses watched all this from afar. Beyond the wolf army and Kael’s large form, he was able to catch a glimpse of his mother, Nalii.

He didn’t understand how he felt within. He remembered that Nalii had grown tired of him and his greedy antics back then, the relationship between them wasn’t a good one.

He also saw Katari, that little cub of back then that had always stuck close to Kael. Once again, Burdo was filled with jealousy.

To think that his little brother had access to all this while he had to settle for less.

"Let’s go," A calm soft male voice spoke into his head. Burdo turned his scaled head away from the gathering to look at who the voice came from.

Before him stood a slightly larger than normal grey wolf who had a dim grey light flashing through his.

"Duller, how long have they been in that cave?" Burdo asked.

"About a month or so," Duller replied, to which Burdo sank into thought.

"Please, Prince Burdo, let’s go quickly. The king asked that you be at the river on time." Duller said hurriedly.

Burdo sighed before nodding for Duller to escort them there. Burdo knew that Kael simply didn’t want him anywhere near here.

After all, in the midst of chaos, Burdo could act impulsively, thinking that he could get away with it.

But then again, this particular wolf that Kael had tasked with escorting him to the river was quite strange.

After the recruitment, Commander Bibi had managed to find spirit wolf so Duller’s value had already dropped by a lot.

This was dangerous for Duller.

Both Duller and Burdo could recognize that treacherous look in each other’s eyes. Only a thief would know another thief at first glance.

But Kael was just as smart as N’bayé, he should already know that these two creatures were not to be trusted, yet he purposefully ordered both of them to work together.

To Duller, this was a scheme, a trap. Kael was looking for a good reason to get rid of him and he would not fall for it. He just needed to collude with Burdo to betray King Kael and that would be the end for him. At least, that’s what his brain told him.

To Burdo, this was a test, not a trap. This wolf that acted and moved like a ghost with shifty eyes was clearly planning a mutiny. Maybe, Kael was giving him a chance to catch the traitor to show his loyalty. At least, that’s what his brain was telling him.

What Duller was perhaps intentionally ignoring was that Kael didn’t need to have a reason to get rid of him. Kael could kill Duller today and no one would dare challenge him.

And what Burdo failed to understand was that Kael could already catch a traitor without the help of another potential traitor.

Perhaps, this was a test, or it was a trap. Only Kael knew what was going on in that mind of his.

They were simply going to the river under the excuse that in case the battle reached the waters, they would be able to handle it.

Neither Burdo nor Duller believed that excuse.

They had not gone far when a terrifying spacial wave spread out from Katari so fast that it reached them in an instant and pushed them forward.

Things were about to get rough.
