Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 108: Preparations Were Made
Hundreds of earth cubes were upon Nalii, soon to crush her to meatpaste if she didn’t act fast.
Her energy rose and her visible green aura became stronger. Her antlers glowed a deep and bright green color as her powers seeped into the ground, searching for whatever piece of nature it could find beneath all these rocks.
The ground began to quake for a second time and the part of the mountain which they were standing on now had multiple cracks spreading around it.
When the earth cubes were a few meters from turning Nalii to meat mush, thick vines the width of a human head shot off the ground like ground snakes.
These vines were greenish-brown and had thorns on them. There was something different about these vines compared to the others of before, these vines had pink flowers on their bodies.
The vines rose to form a strong wall in front of Nalii. The cubes slammed into the vine wall continuously, damaging it repeatedly but not as fast as it was repairing itself.
The mountain goat snorted in anger, he wasn’t like other herbivores that would run away from their predators on sight. No, he had to kill this one, just like had done to all that came before her.
He was about to stomp his front hoof again when a streak of blue electricity hit him without any warning.
The mountain goat spasmed, feeling the shocking power trying to ravage his body. ’Where did that come from?’ He wondered as he desperately tried to redirect the electric power into the ground.
By the time he regained focus, he saw large vines already lashing at him. He created an earth wall however, the wall was loose and not as strong as he would have wanted because of how fast he created it.
The wall only survived two vine strikes before it was shattered by the third vine. The fourth vine strike hit the mountain goat square in the chest, sending him flying until he crashed into the mountainside.
Right after the body of the mountain goat touched the mountainside, dozens of slabs burst out of the mountainside and flew at Nalii.
However, they were all whipped away to rubble by the vines surrounding Nalii. Meanwhile, two peculiar stones zipped through the air until they hovered in front of the hole the goat made after crashing into the wall.
Electricity surged from the two stones as blue electric arcs burst out and surged into the hole.
"MEEEAAAAAAH!"
The deep bleats of the goat reverberated across the vicinity.
Nalii watched, astounded. One hoof in front after the other, the goat struggled and stepped out of the hole.
Despite the constant stream of electricity barraging his body, he still resisted as much as possible to take more steps forward.
His muscles bulged and his curved horns glowed, he seemed ready to unleash all his power but Nalii knew that this was just him redirecting his power inward to keep himself alive.
Her horns glowed as she readied herself to finish off this goat.
"This one is stubborn, let’s leave him for Kael." Nalii heard the voice of N’bayé and paused her actions.
Indeed, Kael would be interested in someone like this. And if he wasn’t interested, he could just kill the goat for the heart.
"Quick, Kael is almost at the top!" N’bayé’s voice was suddenly filled with stress.
Nalii’s eyes narrowed and she immediately burst out with speed. She jumped on the wall, using many vines to hold her in place as she scaled the mountain vertically.
The mountain goat could only look on as the predator left him to these mysterious stones.
"N’bayé?" The mountain goat muttered telepathically, remembering where he had seen the magic markings before.
"Sorry, it’s nothing personal." Was the last thing the goat heard as more magic stones flew up the mountain, hundreds of them with electricity brimming within.
Not just the goat, but other inhabitants in the mountain had looks of dread as these numerous magic stones descended on them.

The ordinary wolves who had to deal with the high-level creatures with no advantage other than numbers felt like a weight had been lifted off them. The arrival of these stones eased their burden and made the fights easier.
N’bayé and Kael prepared well, perhaps, too well.

As soon as Burdo came close to the river, he prepared to jump.
"Wait!" Duller shouted.
Burdo stopped, he turned around to Duller, having an anxious expression. "What is it?" Burdo asked with a frown.
"What about me, I can’t swim?" Duller said.
"Is this a joke?" Burdo asked. How was Duller not being able to swim supposed to concern him?
"You’re a wolf. Isn’t it your duty to serve the kingdom on the battlefield?" Burdo asked.
"Hehe," Duller smiled in a goofily, "Actually…"
"Enough," Burdo said. This was a deserter, the kind that ran away from a fight. Burdo didn’t judge since he and this wolf thought alike.
"I don’t think you necessarily need to enter the water though. After all, we don’t know if those piranhas will come back?" Duller said.
Burdo frowned harder, "Do you think this Prince is afraid of some fish?" He said.
His five water lionesses had already entered the water and were about to swim away.
"Uhm, Prince Burdo, can I ask a question?" Duller asked.
Burdo raised his eyebrows. He didn’t know why he was even having this conversation with this treacherous-looking wolf. For some reason, he wasn’t as guarded as he was before to this wolf.
"What question?" He replied, oblivious to the faint grey light coming from Duller’s eyes.
"Where were you and your lionesses coming from that day that you were chased by Piranhas?" Duller asked.
However, Duller did not get a reply, rather he received a super fast claw strike to his face.
"INSOLENT!" Burdo thundered. His actions caught the attention of the water lionesses who looked at them curiously.
Duller reeled back in shock. He discovered that he had completely lost vision in one eye and his face now had a long line that went from his head, across his eye, then down his cheeks.
Blood fell as Duller’s senses were shrouded in the feeling of pain.
"YOU DARE TO ASK ABOUT THE PERSONAL MATTERS OF THE KING? KNOW YOUR PLACE!
Next time you ask this, death will be your answer," Burdo shouted.
Whatever subtle manipulation Duller had been doing was immediately nullified after he asked that question.
Without caring for his escort, Burdo jumped into the river and swam away, looking for the underwater tunnel Kael had mentioned some time in the past.
Kael had said that the tunnel was present during his fight with a certain water snake in that discussion. Burdo had remembered and took note of it, not knowing that he might get to see the said cave so soon.
Duller looked on in shock as the water lion and his lionesses swam away. The shock of the sudden attack caused him to not yet feel the pain, but he knew it was coming.
The resentment that had previously been suppressed in his heart suddenly erupted in the form of a spirit wave. Any ordinary creature that had never awakened their hearts would have become retards if they were hit by this spirit wave.
Duller’s body shook as he was finding it hard to contain his anger. The pain had started to set in and he collapsed to the ground.
He used his paws to cover his face as he whimpered. It hurts very much.
The resentment mixed with sadness and indignation. His hatred for all that was happening reached its peak and something finally snapped in him.
If before he had merely tried to be an observer looking for an opportunity to make a difference, now he just wanted to do something malicious.

At this time, when the sound of shattering glass resounded everywhere, Kael finally reached the mountain peak.
He followed a well-dug path until he arrived on the wide flat platform on the Mount top.
The red lightning that he had been seeing on his way to the top was finally presented to his eyes in its full glory.
He saw the bolts of lightning raining down on the center of the mountaintop. There were hot rocks and rubble around, looking like the remains of a once-standing cave.
Kael looked hard but he could barely make out any figure inside the lightning rain. But he could sense a rising aura from that place, an aura that was already stronger than his.
Kael transformed into his humanoid form, preserving his energy.
He held the two red-capped mushrooms in one hand while he clenched his other hand into a fist.
He lowered his body and his calves bulged with raw strength.
*BOOM!*
The ground cracked as Kael launched himself at the red lightning rain, his fist pulled back in preparation to throw a devastating punch.
The half-second his body sped to the red lightning, his body expanded and bulged, and purpled electricity coursed through his body.
He gathered the power of War and the power of Electricity in his right fist, causing it to release a purplish-red glow. And then he threw the punch.
*BOOM!*
The rain of lightning seized as a shockwave spread out from the collision point.
Kael’s eyes widened as he looked at the clawed hand that was effortlessly grabbing his fist and casually stopping his punch.
"Lion…"
