Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 65: Scaled Lion

"Here, Kael asked that the next heart we get should be given to you," N’bayé said as she brought her hand lower to place the snake heart on the ground.

Nalii looked at the heart, then at N’bayé, "What about Katari?" She asked.

N’bayé paused, she obviously knew what Nalii was talking about. Everyone already assumed that Katari would be the next to evolve after Kael.

She was the one who pursued it with all her might. Everyone expected Kael to hand over the next evolution opportunity to Katari.

How would Katari feel if she knew that Kael gave the first high-tier heart that they got to Nalii instead of her?

"This is what Kael wants, I’m sure he already has plans to benefit Katari," N’bayé said, inwardly hoping that Kael actually had plans for Katari.

Just because the lionesses all chose to be loyal to Kael didn’t mean they couldn’t keep malice among themselves. And Katari wasn’t the kind of person anyone should keep malice with.

Nalii sighed, then she took the heart into her mouth and walked away to eat it behind a tree.

Soon, N’bayé walked out of the clearing in her humanoid form. Packed on her arms was the sleeping body of a large green lioness.

Her feet combined haste with elegance as she walked away from the clearing and the markings on the trees gradually stopped glowing.

"Where’s the heart?" Isaiah asked himself as he flew in between the fabric of space.

He had seen the entire battle and wasn’t that much fazed. Things like this happened a lot in the forest.

The only thing that moved him was the number of ordinary wolves it took to take down one high-level snake of this caliber.

With more than fifty wolves taking turns to munch on the body of the snake, it was eventually bitten to death.

This was a reminder to not just him, but also Kael and Bibi that their power did not make them invincible. If they were swarmed by low-level creatures, it wasn’t impossible to take them down.

Even an elephant can be bitten to death if there are enough ants.

However, Isaiah had hoped to take advantage of this battle to snatch the organ that held the most amount of energy, the snake heart.

Although it won’t be able to help him evolve, it would at least get him closer to it or enable him to go a long time without feeling hungry.

Isaiah was a solitary person, so he didn’t even have any fellow cranes he could share his heart with.

Seeing Bibi bring out a stone instead of a heart got him confused. The satisfied expression on Kael’s face was unsettling and he began to have a foreboding feeling.

’This lion has a combination of war lion powers and electric powers, how is that possible?’ Isaiah wondered as his eyes rested on Kael’s departing figure.

He looked at the wolves that were tearing apart the colossal body of the snake and at the white-haired man with a fluffy white tail swishing behind him.

’We may clash in the future, we may not…’ With that, Isaiah flapped his wings within the thin layers of space and swiftly flew away.

"Lord Bibi, did you get to understand the powers of that Kael?" The green wolf asked as he came over.

Bibi was looking down at the divided corpse of the war wolf that had been slashed by the snake’s water blade.

"You said he used a spirit attack the first time you guys encountered him.

Today, he didn’t use any spirit attack like I thought, rather he exhibited a high level of physical might, like our War Wolf.

He also had control of purple lightning. We need to always be on guard around him, he may not be lying to us but the secrets he keeps are many." Bibi said.

He used his feet to kick away the top half of the wolf. The green wolf watched this with a calm expression.

Wolves didn’t like it when their fellow wolves died at the hands of another creature, so looking at the casualties of this battle left a bitter taste in their mouths.

Bibi waited for his wolves to finish eating the snake, after which they left behind a long serpent skeleton.

Meanwhile, Kael, Olivia, and Priya had come back to the water snake cave.

They saw the wolves and lionesses, drenched from head to paw, resting at the cave entrance.

They had gone in to fight but before they had the chance, they were almost drowned.

Eidel and the fire wolves were already dry but they stayed extra far from the cave. Being out in a situation where they had lost their ability to produce fire was very traumatic to them.

Once Kael came into view, the lionesses released a sigh of relief.

Katari had her black eyes scanning the surroundings, she noticed the absence of Nalii, as did the rest but didn’t think much of it.

"Let’s go back so we can rest," Kael said. He himself didn’t mind going after the next neighbor as soon as possible, but his lionesses had to rest for them to be one hundred percent efficient.

On their way back to N’bayé’s cave, they picked up the scent of prey, causing Kael to make a slight detour away from the lionesses.

His body blurred out of existence as space rippled faintly around him. The prey he eventually encountered were two noises, one mother and one child.

The mother was big, standing nearly seven feet tall with large metal hooves. The child was still young and ordinary with two bumps on his head.

Two black curved horns grew out of Kael’s forehead as he activated the power of vegetation in the forest.

The ears of the mother moose twitched but before she could react, a thick vine speared through her stomach and out of her back.

The child who was close to a tree was stabbed by multiple branches and raised into the air by those branches.

Swift and powerful.

Kael walked over to the dead corpses. He slung the body of the dead moose offspring on his shoulder while he took hold of one of the hind legs of the mother moose.

The next time the lionesses saw Kael, he was with two dead carcasses, looking like he had not just killed something that l. animals would find it impossible to touch.

When they reached N’bayé’s cave, "You guys should eat up." Kael said as he dropped the two dead bodies for his lionesses before walking into the cave.

This surprised them, they had thought that Kael would take one of the bodies for himself, but they didn’t know that he had intended to give both to them.

Again, their minds were brimming with pointless thoughts that spurred their confusion. The mixed signals Kael subconsciously gave, hovering between an uncaring boss and a thoughtful leader, made them think too much.

Katari didn’t take a bite out of the food though, instead, she followed Kael into the cave as she perceived Nalii’s scent.

#######

Far away from the mountain, following the river where the battle with the water snake had occurred.

The river, which was just a branch of the main river, joined a couple of other rivers that stretched far until it ended at the ocean, the original source of all rivers.

On the beach that separated the forest from the river, dirt yellow sand stretched to the sides as far as the eye could see.

Small waves continuously washed the shores accompanied by a cool breeze, bringing a moment of coolness under the sun.

On the ocean that reflected the light of the sun, something was rushing over to the beach.

The figure parted the water into two as it moved fast.

Once the figure got to the shore, it jumped out of the water revealing the four-limbed creature.

This was a lion, one that Kael would find familiar if he was here.

This figure was as large as a tier 2 lion, with bluish-green scales covering its whole body.

Instead of a mane, the lion had one large foldable fin that grew from the top of its head to the center of its back and his scaled tail ended in a wide oval-shaped blue fin.

His webbed paws touched the sand fondly as the water slid down his scales. He took a deep breath, causing his nostrils and the gills on the sides of his neck to flare.

’Land!’ The lion thought as memories rolled through his mind.

’Father, you chased me out for wanting what you had…’ The lion mused as he looked behind him to see multiple figures rushing through the water to get to him.

’You should have never let me go alive. Not only have I built myself up, I will now take what you have for myself!’

Out of the water jumped seven water lionesses, all looking exactly like the lion in everything but size.

Unlike the male water lion, they didn’t have a large foldable fin on their back, just small ridges that stretched from their head to their tail.

The gills on their necks opened up as if gasping for air.

’We can follow this river back.’ The lion thought as he followed the smell of water to the river.

This also happened to be the same river that would eventually lead to the small river branch near the mountain.

If Kael was here, he would instantly be able to recognize this lion despite the scales that replaced the fur on his face.

That’s because this was a lion who he had grown up with, this was his brother in this world, this was Burdo.
