Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 64: Magic Stones
A gigantic ball of water shot out of the whirlpool. Just before it shot into the sky, it seemed to be blocked by a transparent space shield.
Ripples spread across the space as the ball of water spun in place, just two meters above the water.
The ball of water surprisingly seemed to be in the process of freezing. Sometimes, the water would freeze completely before melting out again in the blink of an eye.
Inside this huge ball of water, probably more than thirty meters in diameter, Priya and the others could make out the figures of a giant snake, along with the smaller shadows of two humanoids.
The shadows moved too fast within the water for anyone to make sense of what was happening.
A purple ring of electricity began to form and surround the ball of water. The figures within the water globe, even the snake, stopped their movement immediately.
*BOOM!*
The water globe exploded, throwing away the inhabitants as far away as possible.
Bibi and Kael flew away in the left and right direction respectively. The snake fell toward the direction Priya and the wolves were standing.
"KILL!" Kael ordered before his body fell back into the water.
The wolves and lionesses were already feeling pumped just watching the battle, seeing the snake falling back into the water behind them, they could almost taste the scales that would soon be in their mouths.
As soon as they heard Kael’s order, they moved. The wolves jumped into the river with vicious gazes trained on the fallen snake.
The water snake raised its head high above the water and let out a ghostly screech. The water rose around it like a mini tsunami shield.
Streams of water continuously shot out of the water barrier, hitting and incapacitating the income wolves.
But the water snake was already tired because of Kael and Bibi. The number of wolves it could eliminate within a short amount of time was limited.
Wet vines shot out of the river bed and at the snake’s head. The vine wrapped around the neck of the water snake and tightened, trying to pull the serpentine beast to the river.
A couple of other vines shot out from another direction and wrapped around the neck of the snake, pulling it down with tremendous strength.
Still, the snake resisted, raising its water walls higher and higher.
The vines were the work of Nalii and the green wolf. The horns on Nalii’s head glowed brightly, evidence of the power she was exercising.
The singular horn on the wolf’s head also glowed brightly but not as intense as Nalii’s.
At this point, one of the large wolves with them, in his war state, with muscles bulging as if they were about to explode and fangs jutting out of the corners of its mouth, plunged it at the water wall.
Like a hot knife through butter, his body shot through the water wall in one motion.
An incredible feat indeed that left an opening distraction for the snake.
The water snake rested its furious eyes on the War Wolf wading through the water to meet him.
*SHHH!*
The muscular wolf was immediately cut in half by a water blade that sliced out of the river.
A tier 2 wolf, gone just like that.
More blood dyed the water and this scent seemed to madden the wolves.
More wolves jumped into the water wall, pushing themselves and using their numbers to get to the other side.

One by one, as they stuck their heads out of the water wall, they were hit with water bullets.
Heads burst open into a brief cloud of blood and brains. Many of the wolves began dying, but more of them were making it out of the water wall.
The snake began to expend the energy it was supposed to have used to escape. This was because it had already judged that there was no escape route for him.
He could sense Kael and Bibi standing far away, watching the scene of him getting mobbed by wolves.
If he tried to run away, those two would immediately get to him and maybe kill him faster.
Like a beast pushed against the wall, the snake had no choice but to fight with all its might.
Water blades flew everywhere and storms of water bullets were occuring at the slightest head turn.
At this time, a few stones in the riverbed began to emit a strange aura. Different magic runes appeared on the bodies of these little rocks as they began floating off the riverbed.
One stone in particular, with blue markings, began to release blue electric arcs.
A beam of blue electricity shot out of the rock and straight to the large snake.
The snake released a hiss that translated its agony very well. Its long and colossal body twist and writhe in pain.
The wolves and lionesses were a bit confused at the sudden absence of attacks but seeing that the water wall was collapsing and the rain of water bullets had stopped, they were ecstatic.
Like warmongers who had just found the killers of their mother, they rushed the snake, sinking their fangs into its flesh as soon as they got close.
The snake recovered from the electric shock that had severely damaged its insides, only for it to experience a new form of mind-numbing pain.
This pain was similar to what a human would feel if his body was being bitten by multiple rats at the same time.
And not only were they biting him, but they were also eating away at his flesh. Their little fangs struggled with the sinew of his hard flesh and he was feeling every moment of it.
Every time he tried to retaliate and take control of the water, that stone at the bottom of the river would shine light and zap him with a thick stream of electricity.
Bibi eyed the blue electric arcs that would come out of the river water once in a while. He had assumed that he and Kael would have to put in more work to kill this snake.
But seeing this turn of events, Bibi could catch a glimpse of how Kael treated this situation. Although he didn’t know that the blue electric arcs were related to N’bayé, he felt that they were related to Kael.
Looking at Kael’s calm face, the lion man looked like everything that was happening was within his expectations, which could more or less be false.
After all, Kael did not know that N’baye also had these magic stones in the river.
One of the vines that was tightened around the snake’s neck suddenly got loose. Nalii retrieved her powers after hearing the message she was given telepathically.
The green wolf could only wonder why as he saw Nalii running in another direction.
The snake was losing blood. The wolves had no intention of giving him a swift death, instead, they gnawed on him until there was no longer any movement on his part.
His lengthy body now had multiple gory holes and his scaled skin hung loosely on the waters.
"Get away!" Bibi thundered as he quickly rushed to the corpse of the snake. Wherever he placed his foot, the water would freeze and he somehow covered the long distance in a few steps.
As soon as he got on top of the body of the snake, he swiped down, tearing a long slit with his claws.
The frown that appeared on Bibi’s face after that was really frightening. Just looking at his face now made anyone feel a chill down their spine.
"Where is the snake heart?" Bibi asked no one in particular. That was because the chamber that was supposed to house the snake heart was heart-less.
He reached down to take what was there in place of the heart. The snake’s blood stuck to his hand as he brought up a bloody stone.
This stone had a peculiar marking engraved on it, similar to the stone that had been producing electricity at the bottom of the river.
"Hmmm," Bibi turned to Kael who was leisurely walking over, he had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Do you have anything to do with this?" Bibi asked.
"Yes," Kael said, he senses that it would be counterproductive to tell a lie at this point.
"Why?"
"Relax, there are a lot of hearts to go around. However, given that I’m the one who initiated this alliance, shouldn’t I be privileged to get the first loot?"
Bibi thought of Kael’s words and they were not out of place. The mountain still has some high-level creatures that will eventually fall by their hands.
However, he wasn’t too fond of Kael doing things without his consent. Since Kael gave an explanation, he decided not to think too much about it.
"At least, let my wolves feast on the corpse," Bibi said, then without Kael’s confirmation, turned and nodded his head to the wolves who were looking at him eagerly.
As soon as they got the confirmation, the wolves dug in. The meat was tough but the energy it contained made up for that.
Kael looked at this with Priya and Olivia by his side. "Feel free to find a place to rest in the meantime. I’m going to check up on those we left at the cave."
Bibi waved his hand casually at Kael, "Okay, I’ll soon be there," Bibi then turned to the green veggie wolf to converse privately.
####
At the special clearing surrounded by six trees, each tree having complex magic engravings on them.
N’bayé stood there in the center, a blue shimmering string extended from her finger to one of the trees.
In her other hand was the bloody heart of a snake that had stopped beating, a really big one.
And in front of N’bayé stood a green-furred, black-horned lioness, Nalii.
