Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 106: Booming Sounds
The consecutive booming sounds that heralded the dawn of a new time in the forest scared the piss out of so many animals.
All the creatures close to the mountain who weren’t supposed to be part of the battle began to retreat quickly.
Everyone with a bit of intelligence and a good memory already knew that this day would eventually come, and now it was here.
Kursela hid in the cave, ignoring the booming sounds and using her body to shield her cubs. She couldn’t attend this battle, not with her cubs on the line. Thankfully, Kael allowed her to sit the battle out.
She initially wanted to escape from the mountain but Kael didn’t let her. To him, it was better she died defending a part of the kingdom than running away from it entirely.
With Kael’s ruthlessness, Kursela should have never expected Kael to let her go, not when she was raising a future caste leader.

The breeze ruffled Isaiah’s feathers as the booming sounds echoed from the mountain.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, searching for the invisible lioness. At the same time, he wondered what was going on that was causing that noise.
He swiftly moved his head to the side, dodging a transparent claw slash. Some feathers were cut off from his cheeks but he remained unharmed.
Following that momentum, Isaiah kicked out, slamming his talons at where he assumed Katari to be.
His feet slammed hard into the ground, cracking it and sending rocks flying. He did not pause his attack even as his legs missed its target.
Like following a movement sequence, he spun on his leg with his sharp wings spread out like fan blades.
Multiple spatial blades shot out as Isaiah spun fast, his blades hitting every place within sight.
Katari appeared out of thin air, a growl escaping her mouth. She teleported from side to side, dodging the fast-moving blades with acrobatic efficiency.
Every time she teleported, she got closer to the spinning bird, her teeth bared and her claws ready to tear him apart.
But then, a slight twist from Isaiah’s wing and a spatial blade made a surprisingly uncalculated curve and headed straight for Katari who had just teleported.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl for Katari as everything moved at a snail’s pace in her vision. She initiated a teleportation again but was a bit too late.
She appeared a few meters away and dropped to the ground. Her shoulder had a long deep gash that had blood flowing down like a red waterfall, dying her lustrous fur.
Isaiah stopped spinning and the blades stopped flying out. His eyes trailed Katari, analyzing what had happened.
Then, Katari teleported again, instantly appearing beside Isaiah’s large head and sending a fatal claw strike at his eyes. Yet, Isaiah seemed to be expecting this as he waved his wing and sent out a spatial wave to push her away.
His reaction was instantaneous, almost as if he had been able to predict where she would appear.
Katari used her claws to grip the stone ground, preventing herself from sliding away.
She lunged again at Isaiah, briefly teleporting from his front and appearing behind him. She swiped at his legs but Isaiah was already flying upwards.
He looked down, a look of disdain on his avian face as he flapped his wings and released powerful gusts of wind.
"Just like that!" Isiah announced as he dropped down fast on the unprepared Katari.
His talons curved around Katari’s neck and he pressed down on her with his leg power. Cracks spread on the ground as Katari struggled to free herself from this deadly grasp.
"You aren’t as unpredictable as I thought," Isaiah said as the space around him began to solidify. It looked like the air was turning to solid glass.
Katari tried to teleport but there would only be a cracking sound. She was unable to teleport as Isaiah was actively locking her down with his own spatial powers.
"With enough time, I was able to understand how your teleportation worked. It’s not that special, quite similar to my portal, just more efficient energy-wise." Isaiah muttered, he looked down at Katari like he was looking at a lab rat.
Katari did it say anything, she continued trying to claw her way out of the hold. Space was beginning to vibrate dangerously as the two opposing space forces ground against each other.
"You are strong, you are talented, you are exceptional. But you work with that Kael of a lion, you must die." Isaiah began to tighten the hold on Katari’s neck.
This was the source of Isaiah’s confidence and disdain. He wasn’t a delusional bird who thought he was better than everyone, that was hardly the case. He was able to recognize Katari’s exceptionality just from sensing her aura.
He knew that she was talented and that was one of the reasons wanted to quickly eliminate her as soon as possible.
She may be strong but he had something she didn’t, experience. Isiah had been in tier 3 probably long before Katari was even born, the techniques he had picked up over the years could easily allow him to overpower an average space-powered creature.
Katari might be crazy and unpredictable, but Isaiah would just counter with techniques.
Now that he saw her here alone, away from Kael, after one month, he wouldn’t let the opportunity go. He wasn’t bothered that she was now tier 3, it was only expected.
As Isaiah tightened his hold on Katari’s neck, sinking his long black talons slowly into her flesh, she couldn’t help but say, "You caused this lioness, you brought this up on yourself.
You should have stayed hidden, maybe you could have been a match after some time. Unfortunately, you had to draw my attention…"
Isiah paused as his mind started drawing patterns he hoped were not through. He looked at Katari closely, particularly at her eyes. He noticed that despite all her struggles, she had a playful look in her eyes.

It was like…she was not bothered.
There was another booming sound as a large amount of rocks were blasted off the side of the mountain.
Isiah turned his head back, almost wringing his long neck. His eyes widened as the space around his eye twisted and expanded.
He saw the strange hot glow and the melting rocks. He saw some lionesses and wolves battling a giant green lizard with so much vigor.
He saw two streaks of energy speeding through the mountainside, one green and one earthly yellow. He saw an army of wolves rushing over the mountain, spreading out in packs and searching for their next enemies.
Then he saw a magnificent golden lion, his mane ruffling in the wind and his metallic golden claws shining bright. He saw the golden lion scale the rocks, covering a large distance with a single stride.
At this rate, he would reach the mountain top in no time…
"No!" Isaiah realized that he had fallen for bait, he should have known seeing that Katari was alone which wasn’t normal for any lioness. He was so frightened by this realization that he mindlessly released Katari and jumped into the air, flapping his wings and attempting to pursue after Kael.
The space hold was removed as a circular portal appeared above him, if he entered this portal, he would be able to instantly appear at the mountaintop and defend Darius.
Katari realized that Isaiah had already discovered the plot seeing that he was about to leave.
But if this big bird left, that would be troublesome for Kael. A look of determination appeared in her eyes, she would hold down this obstacle even if it cost her her life.
Using her powerful hind legs, she leaped after Isaiah fast enough to bite onto one of his legs. And in the process, she followed the big bird into the portal, bringing with her the most terrifying spatial shock she could muster.
*CRACK!*
*SHATTER!*
The unmistakable sound of glass shattering filled the ears of all who were in the mountain.

Amidst the chaos, the screeches of one of the venomous lizards came to a halt after it had been burnt to death.
After some time, a humanoid figure stumbled out of the melting cave. A young woman with long curly reddish-orange hair and fair skin walked out of the hot rubbles. She had two red lion ears beside her head and two lion tails behind her.
Molten rocks slid off her hot body. She had claw marks all over her body and the smell of boiling venom followed her around.
This humanoid woman shared a resemblance to Kael in his human form. Too bad, no one was attentive enough to appreciate her mind-blowing curvaceous naked body.
The humanoid woman who was none other than Eidel in her humanoid form looked around. She saw her sister and her cousin, Ruda and Zabita, fighting the other venomous lizards with the wolves.
From the looks of it, the lizard would soon get overwhelmed by the number of enemies, she didn’t need to intervene.
She flexed her arm, assessing the injuries she got from fighting that lizard. On a normal day, venomous or not, most lizards were no match for lions. These lizards were strong though.
Eidel’s fiery red eyes scanned around, looking for her next victim. She still had a lot of heat that she needed to release, but now, she wanted to conserve some energy, just in case while also testing out her humanoid form.
Suddenly, her eyes caught the silhouette of a four-legged creature sneaking away in the far distance.
The humanoid woman immediately burst into flames as she chased.
