Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 74: Battle Analysis

Kael released Bibi III’s neck and backed away.

He walked tiredly to a nearby tree and lay under its shed. His blood was slowly forming a pool beneath him, he was bleeding from too many places to count. Bibi had been a very ferocious opponent.

His eyes lingered in the white wolf’s body then in Bibi IV who was looking at him wearily.

Tree roots rose out of the ground like wooden snakes. They wrapped gently around different parts of Kael’s large body, emitting a green glow.

"Come here." He called Bibi IV. The muscular wolf was hesitant but still walked over.

He passed by his father’s corpse, seeing the crushed and bloody neck. His white fur still reminded him of how elegant Bibi III was a few hours ago, now his coat was stained with blood and he lay lifelessly on the dirty ground.

So was the nature of the wild. Insufficient power meant eventual death that would be brutal and painful. No matter how innocent a creature was, it couldn’t escape this rule as long as it lived in the wild.

Bibi IV guiltily evaded the blank eyes of the large wolf, passing the body to reach Kael.

As he got closer, he noticed that the tree beside Kael was visibly shrinking, as if life was being sucked out of it.

He could see the bloody gashes on Kael’s body slowly closing up and his body was becoming more relaxed.

This astounded him. If his father was the one to have survived with these injuries, even the green wolf would not have been able to heal him. He would have had to depend on his tier 3 body to recover.

"Come closer," Kael said with a gentle expression on his face.

Bibi IV began to shiver as he got closer. Watching the fight from afar and seeing Kael in his humanoid form was completely different from seeing him in his lion form.

The closer he got, the more he was aware of just how large Kael was. His paws that rested to the side made his imagination run wild, wondering if he would survive a slap.

’I won’t.’ He quickly concluded. Just because the porcupine and Bibi had endured the slaps didn’t mean he could.

Even when lying down, Kael was able to look straight into the eyes of the wolf, even looking down slightly.

"Do you know what you must do now?" Kael asked. His golden eyes seemed to see through Bibi IV, looking straight at his soul.

Bibi IV nodded his head, "The wolves will now be under your rule. Whichever direction you stretch your paw, we shall follow." With that, he bowed his head as an act of respect.

Kael shook his head, "That’s not all. Immediately make sure that all wolves are added to the Primordial record."

Even though the Primordial Record didn’t guarantee loyalty, it was a form of census and monitoring. Kael didn’t take any chances after what he went through to kill Bibi III.

"Yes," Bibi IV accepted the request.

"I’m aware that you guys didn’t come to the mountain with your full force. There are still elderly wolves and puppies back at the clan base. Am I correct?" Kael asked.

"Yes," Bibi IV shook as he answered. He didn’t know how Kael knew about this but something felt wrong about the way Kael asked.

Little did he know that Kael and N’bayé had long planned for contingencies in case they failed.

For Kael, it was either he won, or everybody lost. If there was the slightest hint that he would not win against Bibi, N’bayé would have massacred the elderly and puppies of the wolves.

This was just a way to make sure that the wolves would find it almost impossible to recover after the battle on the mountain.

"Good, make sure that they too are integrated, re-educated if necessary," Kael stated.

"Yes," Bibi replied, "But, there might be resistance."

"I know, isolate the wolves who resist the changes, let them go if it comes down to it, as long as they are on the Primordial Record.

If they are prone to violence, however, execute them publicly to make an example."

"Ye…"

"Refer to me as King Kael from now on." Kael cut him off.

"Yes, King Kael."

"Go back and add them to the Primordial Record, there is 1 point per person reward.

Gather them at the cave with an inside pond, I will give a speech there."

Kael didn’t notice it, but his voice had gotten deeper and more manly. He now spoke with an edge that kept listeners on the tip of their toes.

He sounded like he was about to shout yet was tired from shouting. His words came out slow and steady.

"Yes, King Kael." Bibi IV bowed, then stepped back to go and meet the wolves and lionesses.

Looking at the departing wolf, Kael sighed. The tall tree beside him creaked as its stem was drying up fast and could no longer hold its weight.

The roots unwrapped from Kael’s body and fell limply to the ground. Not bothering about the dying tree, Kael stood up and walked away from its premises.

He approached the dead white wolf as his bones cracked and rearranged themselves. By the time he was standing before the corpse, he was in his humanoid form.

There was still blood on his chiseled muscles and his deep blonde hair was shabby.

Five metallic golden claws grew out of his fingers. As he bent down to tear out the heart, he thought about the fight that had happened not long ago.

He analyzed everything that happened, from the moment the porcupine ambushed him, to the point he pushed Bibi III off the mountainside.

The porcupine was strong, but in front of Kael’s barrage of different abilities, it stood no chance. If not for Bibi interfering, he would have killed the Porcupine.

Bibi III was also very strong. Despite how much they rolled and bashed their bodies when falling down the steep mountainside, Bibi hadn’t been injured from the fall.

Instead, it had been the mountain being damaged as their mid-fall fight caused many rocks to fly out of the mountain body.

The more he thought of it, the more he realized just how terrifying Bibi was, and just how terrifying he himself had become.

All through the fight, Bibi had a constant stream of frost energy hitting Kael’s body, even affecting the surroundings in the process.

Yet, Kael fought on and won. N’bayé who had been tier 3 for a longer time wasn’t confident in being able to beat Bibi III, but Kael achieved that in the first try with nothing but brute force.

’Am I the bad guy?’ Kael asked himself with a playful grin on his face.

Squelching sounds were heard as Kael brought his bloody hand up. In his grasp was a wolf heart, it brimmed with energy even though it no longer had any beats.

Just then, he heard some footsteps from beside him. Even without turning his head, he already knew who it was.

Kael turned to see Katari walking to him. Her whole body was soaked in blood and in her mouth was a porcupine heart.

"Oh, Katari," Kael smiled, this one was genuine. This smile which was so pure made Katari’s heart skip a beat. Her eyes glittered as she hurried to Kael’s side.

Kael patted her head, ignoring the feeling of fur soaked in blood. Katari purred at his actions, closing her eyes and enjoying the moment.

"Hehe, Katari, has anyone ever told you how good you are?" Kael asked.

Katari was so stunned by the weird question that the porcupine’s heart fell from her mouth.

She tilted her head, looking at Kael with a suspicious look. Since when did Kael ask such expressive questions?

"You did well Katari. I didn’t think you would kill him by yourself, you’re such a good girl!" Kael said, feeling very satisfied. He pulled on her fluffy cheeks and played with it.

If lionesses could blush, Katari would have no way of hiding it. She tucked her head in, feeling shy from the sudden praises and affection Kael was showing.

"T-thank you," She said. When last had she stammered like this?

"Yeah, never let anyone tell you that you aren’t valuable. You are irreplaceable to me, I couldn’t have achieved what I did today without you.

Your spying, your assassinations. I was thinking I have to go and finish the porcupine by myself." Kael said.

Katari felt blood rushing to her head. She could only nod her head, afraid of fumbling her telepathic words with how chaotic her mind was.

"You deserve a reward actually. You know what, take this heart for yourself." Kael, maybe from impulsiveness or after a quick decisive calculation, said this.

"What? No, you said you need the heart." Katari was stunned.

"Yes, and I also told you to get stronger, I can feel your improvements. You killed him, you deserve his heart." Kael said.

Katari was ecstatic, was this really happening?

"But, won’t it take a lot of time for me to evolve? And Nalii is also not available?"

"Don’t worry about that, we need time to recuperate and consolidate our power. You might as well use it to evolve so that you can be more useful to me in the future."

Hearing this, Katari didn’t argue anymore, she picked the heart from the ground and bowed, her head nearly touching the ground.

"Thank you…" She wanted to say more but did not know how to articulate her words. She was not thanking him for being allowed to use the heart which she rightfully earned, she was thanking him for being considerate.

It wasn’t every day that Kael treated them like he actually liked them. Whatever had stopped him from seeing the lionesses as nothing more than slightly intelligent beasts was slowly fading away.

She had to thank him for that, she was afraid he would go back to how he normally behaves.

Kael waved his hand, sending Katari away. As soon as she was out of sight, the smile on Kael’s face faded into a frown.

He was struggling, trying to kill the warm feeling he had felt when Katari was close to him, but this foreign feeling refused to die.

The last time he felt like this was in his past life with his last ex-wife. He had thought he had buried this feeling for good.

’Hmm,’
