Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 110: Darius Versus Kael
Pain filled Kael’s senses as he saw his hand being squeezed to mush. Darius effortlessly crushed his hand as if Kael wasn’t trying to put up any resistance.
Despite the pain, Kael didn’t say a word or shout.
Before he could react, Darius, who was still holding on to his crushed hand pulled back. He flung Kael to the side as if he was dealing with a piece of trash.
Kael crashed to the side, almost falling off the edge of not that he used his metallic gold claws to stop himself. He could only achieve this by using his one remaining good arm and his two legs.
He still had to be careful not to damage the two red-capped mushrooms.
He looked up in alarm to see Darius jump forward and land at the edge of the mountaintop. Kael breathed a sigh of relief as Darius was not coming for him.
He looked down at his crushed hand, or what remained of it. He tried to summon some vegetation out of the ground but he was finding it hard. High up on the mountaintop, it was hard to find strong vegetation as most of the area was filled with rocks.
He managed to draw out a few thin vines though. The vines wrapped around his crushed hand and began pumping vitality into him. He could feel his hand recovering and his shattered bones rearranging themselves.
Meanwhile, Darius was looking down the mountaintop. He saw Isaiah, his friend, perched halfway down the mountain with a spatial barrier around him.
On one side were dozens of floating stones shooting electric arcs at the spatial barrier. On the other side was a fierce lioness rapidly throwing sharp spatial claw slashes at the big bird.
The spatial barrier was cracking and it would soon collapse if something didn’t happen fast.
From the looks of it, Isaiah would be able to handle either of the enemies if he was at his peak or if he was fighting one of them at the same time, but he had just had a battle with Katari.
Darius’s red ring eyes stared intensely at those floating stones. He could feel the power of electricity within them and he could tell that the electric energy was not coming from the stones themselves. The stones were just an output device, the electric energy was coming from another source.
"Hmm…" Darius stretched out his hand. Red lightning began to flow on top of his body and in his eyes. The red lightning was bright and aggressive in its movement, seemingly designed to obliterate anything in its path.
He waved his outstretched hand slightly, sending an electric arc down the mountain. The electric arc moved fast, instantaneously arriving above Isiah and hitting the magic stones.

The magic stones seemed to go into overload as the red lightning drilled into them and followed the path to their source of power. One by one, the stones exploded into fine dust that rained down on Isaiah’s spatial barrier.
Everything happened so fast, Katari looked up to see another arc of electricity coming at her. She instinctively teleported out of the way, but she wasn’t fast enough.
When she appeared again tens of meters down the mountain, her body was smoking and there was a burnt smell coming from her.
On her back was a deep burn wound, no blood flowed out of it as the wound had been sealed by the heat just as it had been made.
Katari fell to the floor, her limbs overcome with weakness but her mind was still active. Faint red sparks still flickered over her body as the residual power of annihilation threatened to consume her.
One had to know that Katari was a tier 3 lioness, in this world, she was a powerhouse. Even though she wasn’t a war-type lioness, her body was still strong enough for her to easily break most things. Her fur and skin were tough and it would be hard for anything to just cause her any injuries.
Kael guessed that the only thing that would be able to effortlessly pierce through the skin of a tier 3 lioness was a creature of similar power level or bullets shot by certain guns.
But there were no guns in this world and the number of creatures with similar power levels was scarce.
But here was Katari, easily taken out by a casual strike from Darius.
"Forgive me, friend, I was too late," Darius said, his voice somehow reaching Isaiah’s ears.
Isiah looked up with an elated expression, the spatial barrier around him dispersed as he made an effort to preserve and recover his energy. "You are okay, that’s all that matters. Did you succeed?" Isiah asked.
A smirk appeared on Darius’s face as he nodded his head slowly.
Isiah spread his wings and was about to fly up to meet his friend when his eyes widened, "WATCH OUT!" He shouted.
Darius turned around only for his face to get smashed with a large fist.
A resounding boom echoed out as the ground on which Darius stood shattered. He took a heavy step back before regaining his balance and preventing himself from falling over.
His cheeks were pressed to the side by Kael’s fist. Kael, who had launched himself from the opposite side of the mountaintop’s platform, looked into Darius’s red eyes.
His expression was fierce and his mind was determined. He had only managed to move Darius by a single step and that was only because he was using the power of War.
Kael kicked out, his feet landing with superior might on Darius’s muscular abdomen.
Darius’s body shot back, his legs digging two fissures into the stony ground. His expression remained calm though. He observed this humanoid who had suddenly grown to eight feet and had gotten extra muscular.
"You have more than one power in you, like the spiders," Darius concluded.
Red lightning crackled around him as he disappeared from his position, leaving behind a red spark trail.
*BAM! BAM!*
Like drum beats, Kael felt two fists collide with his chest within that second. He found himself flying away from the mountaintop with a deep cavity in his chest.
Darius had discarded him and ignored his physical defense to do such a level of damage. Kael knew he had no chance if he wanted to fight fair.
He had to use it.
Without hesitation, ignoring the searing pain coming from his chest, his left hand rose to his mouth and he stuffed one of the red-capped mushrooms into his mouth.
Darius’s eyes widened when he caught a glimpse of the red-capped mushroom, "That thing…"
Kael felt all the cells in his body go into overdrive, he felt like he had been soaked in the purest form of energy and all this energy was building up too fast inside of him, he had to release it quickly if not he would explode.
His golden eyes took on a red tint and red veins appeared on his muscular body.
"Aaarrgh!" He couldn’t help but let out a deep roar.
Like jet engines, Kael’s two feet burst out reddish-blue flames as he shot back to the mountaintop like a human-shaped missile.
Seeing the incoming attack, Darius frowned but he did not try to move out of the way, he was filled with confidence that nothing would happen.
*BOOM!*
Stone debris flew into the air as the mountaintop was decimated. Darius found himself looking at the sky with his back touching the ground.
A raging flaming fist came down hard and hit his face, causing the ground beneath his head to break away.
Lightning surged out of his body as he caught Kael’s next punch, albeit using way more effort than before.
The red lightning concentrated on Darius’s left fist as he threw out his own punch. His blow hit Kael square on the jaw and a faint crack could be heard as Kael stumbled away.
Darius shot up from the ground, lightning coiling around his arms like red glowing snakes.
Kael dropped the last red-capped mushroom in his hand. He had no idea if he would need it later but for this fight, he couldn’t afford for both his hands to be occupied.
Darius had not yet transformed into his true tiger form and Kael would not be stupid to do the same. Although there was no pride in this fight since this was a matter of life and death, there was still some dignity at play.
Darius clearly didn’t want to use his full might on Kael and spend his energy on him and Kael would act the same.
Kael reached up with his now free left hand and rearranged his jaw, snapping it back into place. There was a metallic cling as the jaw was set back.
Almost at the same time, both Kael and Darius burst out with extreme speed, clashing their fists with each other in an instant.
Within seconds, they had exchanged tens of blows with Darius throwing more.
Kael did not use the power of electricity he got from Ruda as that was just the lesser version of what Darius was using. Using it would be like giving Darius a stick to beat him with.
Instead, he used the power of War to strengthen his body, then combined it with the power of fire and space as his primary weapons. Every other power he used to fight Darius was just what he remembered to use at that moment.
The battle between these two big humanoid cats became so intense that the whole mountaintop started crumbling.
