Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 133: Luck, Giving Rewards.
Kael’s eyes snapped open with the last images he saw being one of blood and savage domination.
His body shook slightly as he shook off the uncomfortable feeling he had. Glancing through this memory had not taken much time in reality.
To an outside observer, he had only closed his eyes for a little more than ten seconds.
The golden shimmer around him faded away and Kael could feel that something was building up inside his body. He could feel that he was accumulating a power that he could not use, not yet.
Eventually, that accumulation of pepper would reach its limit, and once it did…
Kael revised the contents of the memory, he knew why that particular memory had called to him. Its content was crucial for the next steps he would take in the future.
Slowly and steadily, he was learning more about his status as a Primordial Lion. Maybe if the previous Primordial Lions had the same advantage that he had, they would have acquired so much power that from that era till now, there would have been only two Primordial Lions.
’The Law of Conquering…’ Kael played with those words in his mind, revising and redefining what it meant.
He decided to meditate on it at a later time, for now, he wanted to get this distribution of loot over with.
He watched as Eidel, Nalii, Katari, and N’bayé went in and out of the cave, dragging a dead creature one after the other.
There were more than fifteen different bodies, each of them would be comparable to a tier three wolf or slightly weaker when they were alive.
There were those two poisonous lizards, a fiery red weasel-like creature, and a long snake with metallic scales decorating its body, there were lone wolves who had lived in isolation in the mountain as well as some other common creatures of the forest.
If Bibi III had succeeded in bringing down Kael after the two-way betrayal, he would still not have been able to take the mountain for himself. There were just too many powerful enemies he would have to deal with.
He might have been able to handle two people of the same tier with him due to his skills but that was just him.
Kael also had something almost no other creature in the forest had, something that he had been hiding and keeping silent about most of the time, casually downplaying his role in all his activities.
That thing was the power of luck which he had been able to control to a certain extent.
Olivia was a Fortune Lioness with the Fortune Lionheart, this type of lionheart granted her the power to adjust the scales of luck to favor her. Although this was usually very subtle and limited, it was still there and was very important.
And Kael, having signed a Pride Contract, also had access to the power to twist the enigmatic force of luck in his favor.
One could say that without Olivia and Kael, the Ol-mytee pride would have suffered a lot more than what they experienced in the past months. Because of Kael and Olivia, a lot of their activities that had a lot of risks ended up turning out fine from them.
Of course, the power to warp the force of luck was not omnipotent and was heavily dependent on the individual’s power level. If they met a very strong opponent, the power of luck would have little effect, brute force would be the deciding factor.
And if they ever encountered another creature with the power of luck, things could go wrong very quickly. If the creature had the same power level as them, the power luck would simply be nullified and everything would be left for whoever had the sharpest claws.
If the opponent had the power of luck and was also of a higher tier, he or she could suppress the luck of the weaker creature.
This was why Kael was always making preparations, he couldn’t trust the power of luck to always work and he was right. There were a lot of times that the power of luck just didn’t work out.

As for the circumstances surrounding the Conqueror Mode and its sudden appearance, Kael couldn’t tell if it was a coincidence or if the power of luck played a role in it.
Kael was very casual when addressing anything about Olivia. He didn’t want to draw too much attention to her even though she was already doing that on her own.
Of all his lionesses, Olivia was the most easy-going and accessible. Most wolves already saw her as the slightly ’funny’ lioness that could be talked to. However her sense of humor and the kind of things she considered funny as a lioness had to be looked at very carefully.
"This is everything," N’bayé said as she dropped the last body which was the corpse of an Ewu, a large flightless bird that resembled an ostrich.
Kael nodded his head as he silently observed all the corpses with his arms behind him.
"There is still that one that we captured, should I bring him over?" N’bayé asked.
"No, not now. Let’s finish with this one first," Kael said.
Two green stumps grew from his forehead and started giving off a green glow. Answering the call of the king, multiple thick vines burst out from the ground to surround the fifteen corpses.
The vines slithered across the floor, wrapping their lengths around the feet or necks of the dead animals tightly.
Kael raised his hand and made a clawing motion upward and the vines, like a choreographed play, rose with the direction of his hand.
The vines raised all fifteen carcasses into the air, letting them dangle a few inches from the ground. The blood in the bodies already had a whole day to leak out from the injuries so little blood remained to pool in the floor.
The foxes gazed with excitement and nervousness. They had noticed the strange look of confidence on Ken’s face and wondered what had happened to him.
And where was Vixy? They remembered that Vixy had gone to meet King Kael but only Ken had returned with the king.
Speaking of Vixy, she finally arrived at this time. As soon as the foxes saw Vixy, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Only with Madam Vixy around could they have peace of mind.
Vixy arrived with her fiery assistant behind her. At first, it was just the two of them that showed up, then more figures started showing themselves amongst the maze of broken trees.
One wolf after the other started showing themselves and Commander Bibi was among them. He was the one who had given the howl to assemble all the wolves that were either resting or patrolling.
There were about seventy or eighty wolves in total, the remnant warriors from the battle yesterday morning.
From the initial one hundred and fifty odd wolves, these were the ones who survived. The fifteen enemies had not been easy to take down at all.
The wolves were not the only ones that were present though, Prince Burdo had also appeared, and behind him were the five water lionesses of his pride.
Zabita, Olivia, Diane, and Ruda also showed themselves too, they stood in front of the beastly crowd.
When they all got close, they saw the fifteen corpses dangling from the tall vines and knew what was about to happen.
"Good day everyone," Kael’s telepathic voice brushed up on their minds like a gentle wave of water, getting all their attention.
Kael stood casually with his hands behind his back and posed a regal stance of authority. Even though he talked casually, it still carried that tone of authority that had appeared at some point in the past.
"...I want to thank you all, wolves, foxes, and lionesses. Yesterday’s battle would not have been in our favor if it wasn’t for you all and the sacrifices of your comrades.
The efforts you put in to ensure our victory did not go unnoticed. So now, I will be rewarding you all.
And I know there is very little reward to go around, we only have fifteen. There will still be rewards for everyone." Kael said.
His words brought about a weird mix of anticipation, excitement, and nervousness. At this point, they all knew that the fifteen corpses would go to only fifteen people. Many of them already knew that they wouldn’t get it, but some still held on to hope.
Some wondered what exactly the reward Kael wanted to give all of them.
Many of them also remembered that there was the corpse of that Tiger, but none of them dared to voice it out.
"And so, for the first reward…" Kael said as he waved his hand behind him. One of the vines shook and twisted as it lowered itself and brought one of the bodies down beside Kael
"The first reward will be going to Ken, please come forward," Kael announced.
The wolves didn’t react much, simply giving ignorant growls or noisy barks that didn’t mean anything. The foxes, however, were flabbergasted.
Vixy looked like she had just swallowed a disgusting fly as she looked at the white fox walking up to the front to stand before Kael.
Ken was nervous, he didn’t imagine that this would be happening under the gazes of so many kingdom citizens.
As though Kael was enjoying this, the next words he said nearly caused Ken to have a heart attack.
"This reward is for being the only person to have suggested leaving the comfort of your safe caves and picking up the loot while our wolves fought.
I heard that your other foxes also tried to stop you out of fear, but you were courageous and bold.
If not for you and your great idea, the loot would have been destroyed and there would be nothing to give out as reward.
For that, I thank you." Kael ended his words with an innocent smile on his handsome face, perfectly aware of the implications of his words.
Now, Ken felt like looking for a hole to live in for the rest of his life. He could feel the piercing gaze of his fellow foxes, especially Vixy’s gaze.
