Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 63: Serpentine

As the snake’s head slammed into the ice, the pond instantly liquidized, defying as many laws of physics as possible.

In that same millisecond, that very moment before the wolves sank into the water, the pond exploded.

Water streams flew out in every direction inside the cave, sending the wolves flying and flooding the whole cave.

Kael stood his ground as the water enveloped him and flowed past to the tunnel behind him.

Many wolves and the lionesses had their bodies rag doll across the walls against their will.

The pond seemed to overflow as the cave began to get flooded. Soon, even Kael was submerged as he had taken in a deep breath before his head was enveloped.

Kael opened his eyes just in time to see the serpent dive down into the large abyss that used to be where the pond used to be.

He could see the full length of the snake and this creature was absolutely massive. If he estimated, it would probably be around thirty meters long.

"Bibi!" Kael shouted telepathically, noticing the erratically shifting eyes of the snake, indicating its fear.

"He’s trying to run, I know. Should we chase?" Bibi asked, he turned around even as he was submerged in water to look at Kael.

However, Kael shot past him in the form of a golden blur.

The water seemed to be electrified and small whirlpools would appear behind Kael.

"Oh!" Bibi exclaimed before he kicked his legs, swimming after Kael and the water snake.

For beings like them, holding their breath underwater for a very long time was not difficult.

The wolfman and lionman came to the top of the deep abyss, their golden and blue eyes flickered and they could still make out the figure of the fleeing snake.

Kael’s human body began to swell and his aura got more savage. Activating the War State in his humanoid form was almost the same as in his lion form.

His body grew to nearly three meters in height and became more robust. His already muscular body looked like it was about to burst as golden veins began flowing all through his body.

His golden hair stood on end like spikes and his claws elongated into sharp curves. He could feel rationality slipping from his grasp slowly and surely.

Without wasting time, he leaned downward, kicked his legs back, and left a shockwave behind as he shot down like a torpedo.

The water seemed to explode and the weaker wolves had their bodies hit by a water wave.

Bibi’s eyes flickered as he saw this. The water around him froze until he was surrounded by a four-cornered ice crystal.

The large ice crystal began to spin at a high velocity, causing a terrifying water current to form around it.

The ice crystal began to go down, accelerating the lower it went until it caught up to Kael and was even slightly overtaking him.

Kael had his eyes locked on the tail of the snake as they sank deeper and deeper into the water abyss.

Despite the speed they were moving at, the snake was faster in its territory, the water.

He was sure that they had gone way below the mountain foot level.

At this point, the snake suddenly took a turn, easily slipping its body into an underwater tunnel.

Kael sped up as he quickly followed the snake into the tunnel. Bibi, who was in his crystal, easily controlled himself to be able to make a sharp turn and follow after the snake.

Kael did some quick calculations in his mind before establishing a long-distance telepathic channel with Priya.

"Priya, tell everyone to head towards the river. The snake is escaping in that direction." He said before shutting off and focusing on the chase.

His arms flapped rhythmically, same with his legs, allowing him to propel himself through the water rapidly.

###

Priya, who was still outside and had just received the message from Kael, was looking at the water flowing out of the cave entrance with the rest of the wolves and lionesses.

"Everyone, they said the snake is escaping toward the river, let’s go!" Her strong telepathic voice reached the more than fifty wolves present.

As soon as Priya delivered the message, She, Olivia, and Nalii immediately ran in the direction of the river.

The green wolf, Bibi’s right hand, also spoke up, "Let’s go," Although he was cautious, the disappearing figures of the lionesses reminded him that he didn’t know where this river was.

###

At the same time, Isaiah who was watching from the top of the mountain saw the lionesses and wolves suddenly start running in one direction like a tide of savagery and violence.

"Interesting?" He muttered, he looked back at Darius’s cave, an unreadable expression on his face, before looking back.

He released a sigh, jumped into the air, and began transforming.

Feathers grew out of his arms and his legs got thinner and longer. His nose and mouth fused into a long yellow beak.

His feathers shifted into a black-and-white color, and space began to ripple around him.

Reality seemed to shatter as a portal opened in front of him before he could begin falling. In one swoop, he shot into the colorless portal, seeking to observe this battle in detail.

####

Meanwhile, as Kael and Bibi swam through the tunnel, they observed that the speed of the water snake was reduced by a lot.

This was because this tunnel had many jagged rocks sticking out from the sides, and the snake had to be careful not to crash into these jutting rocks.

Even then, the snake was still fast and Kael and Bibi could only match its speed and not catch up to it.

As they swam through the tunnel, they began to rise, as if they were about to break out into the surface.

"Brace yourself," Kael warned as he started channeling power within his body.

Purple lightning began to flow around his body, lighting up the dark tunnel. Kael clenched his fist, allowing the electric field to spread out.

Bibi’s eyes widened at the appearance of the lightning and had to slow down to reduce its effect on him. Luckily, the crystal ice encasing he was in prevented the electric currents from touching him.

The water snake wasn’t so lucky on the other hand. It had caught the flash of purple from the corner of Its eyes but had no way to defend.

Electric currents viciously ran through his body, ravaging his insides and causing his muscles to contract uncontrollably.

For those two seconds that the water snake received the shock of its life, Kael and Bibi used the opportunity to close the distance.

The snake reacted sooner than later. It twisted its body erratically, causing a whirling water current to form around it.

Kael and Bibi found it hard to control themselves as they were repeatedly slammed into the walls of the tunnel.

Kael’s large muscular body repeatedly smashed through the rocks, and large debris continuously swirled around hitting Bibi’s crystal ice encasing.

Multiple ice spikes froze into existence around Bibi. Spinning with ruthless velocity, they shot after the water snake, seeking to potentially give it a cold death.

Unfortunately, only three spikes managed to hit the snake, with one piercing through its serpentine stomach and sticking out of the other side.

The water was dyed red, a reminder that this was a life-and-death situation.

Kael and Bibi continuously threw attacks, hoping to slow down the snake, if not kill it outrightly.

However, as if seeing an angel, the snake acted with renewed vigor. It swam fast, heading for the faint light that had appeared ahead at some point.

Seeing the faint light above, Kael swam harder. Fortunately, the duo had covered some distance and Keal was able to grab the tip of the tail.

Kael heaved as he slammed his legs into the ground, causing cracks to spread and his feet to sink in.

Bibi’s crystal flashed past him, aiming its pointy tip at the snake’s head.

Like flowing water, ever flexible, the snake twisted, immediately curling its serpentine body around the ice crystal.

Like sticks used to draw on beach sand, Kael’s legs created fissures as he held onto the snake’s tail as it dragged him through the tunnel and closer to the faint light.

Cracking sounds could be heard as a terrifying frost slipped out of the ice crystal and into the snake that was trying to break it with its powerful body.

Alas, the snake was fighting against two creatures of the same power level who were still restricted by their humanoid form.

And there was still the fact that this entire battle was happening underwater. One could only imagine the fate of the snake if all this happened on land.

Kael was behind him, pulling him back little by little and the ice crystal he was trying to shatter with his death squeeze was freezing his body at a terrifying rate.

The water churned, as if boiling, and multiple water currents formed around the snake, twisting around his long form like countless transparent water snakes surrounded their snake king.

Kael and Bibi, sensing that something was about to happen, held on tight to whatever they could get their hands on.

#####

The river flowed peacefully, with the wavy lines formed from movements the only form of disturbance on its watery surface.

There would be an occasional bird chirping as it flew past this serene environment.

Priya, who stood at the bank of the river, looked at this environment with scrutiny. Behind her were the forest trees as well as Nalii, Olivia, and an army of wolves.

The large green wolf looked around, his nose twitching as he tried to pick up a scent, "Where are they?" He asked.

Priya did not answer.

"What if they are still at the cave, we have most of our forces here," One of the large grey wolves spoke into the telepathic channel. From the sound of his voice, he was very untrusting toward the credibility of Priya’s words.

What if they had all been tricked into coming here when there was nothing to come to?

Feeling frustrated, Priya retorted emotionally, "You should have stayed behind if you didn’t trust me."

Her words angered a lot of wolves, the restlessness that followed made it look like there was going to be a fallout.

Suddenly, the earth beneath their feet trembled as though a small earthquake was coming.

The river, like it had been taken over by some mysterious force, stopped flowing, and then began moving in the opposite direction.

No, not right, the water was moving to the whirlpool that had formed in the center of the river.

Priya and the rest looked at this with caution, their claws sticking out of their paws and digging into the soil.

Then there was this sinking, disturbing, high-pitched sound that was very hurting to the ears. The sound got louder and louder, seemingly going to increase until the listeners bled from their ears.

*BOOM!*

Then the sound stopped, followed by a loud boom.
