Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 85: Duller

"I want to give the wolves a message from the King," Ruda said.

The spirit wolf instantly understood what Ruda wanted. She just wanted to use him as a medium to talk to all the wolves that were present.

He nodded, and then a grey light spread from his body.

Ruda felt the telepathic connection she was having with the wolves and began to speak.

"Wolves!" She called for their attention. All the wolves including Commander Bibi looked up to see where the telepathic voice came from.

"The feast before you is not a gift from the wild, nor is it the spoils of your own hunt. It is a provision from him, the King. The same king who proved his strength by defeating your leader.

The king wishes to remind you all that you are no longer just a mere pack, you are soldiers in the making, warriors under the banner of a king who rewards loyalty and punishes defiance. This food is proof of his power, his foresight, and his will to see you thrive under him.

Eat, regain your strength, and remember who provides for you."

After saying that, Ruda decided to walk away from the area, her job already done. She had already eaten her fair share of fish and had lost interest in them.

The wolves, after hearing the message looked around at each other, communicating basically with their eyes and growls.

They returned to eat, except now, they weren’t acting like ravenous beasts and had become calmer. The fact that this fish feast was provided by Kael contributed to this change of behavior.

Bibi IV looked at this with a calm gaze, the more the wolf warriors warmed up to the higher authority, the more things would be better for him.

"You, what’s your name?" Ruda suddenly asked the spirit wolf.

The spirit wolf shook a little, why was this purple lioness asking for his name?

"Me?" The spirit wolf asked to confirm.

"Yes you, you have proven to be very useful. I want to know your name so that I can relay it back to the King." Ruda explained. It was rare for Ruda to show an attitude of calmness which she was showing now.

"Oh, my name is Duller," The spirit wolf said. He and the other wolves that had entered tier 2 all had names, nobody really asked since they weren’t the impossible guys.

For the first time, the spirit wolf felt appreciated and the way he looked at Ruda changed. His eyes showed hints of care and admiration, maybe too much…

Ruda had walked away, followed by Duller’s creepy gaze that remained plastered to her back until she left his sight.

Duller turned around to see Bibi IV giving him a very intense warning gaze. Duller nearly jumped from fright, seeing Bibi IV standing next to him.

"Why are you looking at her like that?" Commander Bibi asked with his eyes narrowed.

Duller shook his head while giving a goofy smile, "Nothing Commander Bibi, I was just making sure she left safely."

Bibi IV scoffed, "If anything happens to her, what makes you think you can protect her?

You better be careful."

"Yes sir!" Duller replied, not wanting to talk about his situation which seemed a bit uncomfortable for him.

"And wipe that stupid grin from your face, you look extra ugly right now." Commander Bibi said before walking away to continue feasting on the fish.

Only now did the spirit wolf feel his face and realize that he was wearing a stupid smile. He quickly wiped the smile away.

When he bent down to eat again, his eyes would occasionally look in the direction Ruda had left. His eyes showed that some strange abominable feeling was growing inside him all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, Ruda walked in the forest, following the scent the spirit wolf had left when passing through.

She eventually caught sight of Kael’s golden form and ran towards him.

Upon reaching his side, she noticed six cocoons made of vine. The cocoons lay on the earthly ground without any set order.

One sniff and she could tell who was inside these cocoons, the water lions.

Whatever had happened to make them fall to such a state? Looking around, she couldn’t see any sign of battle. It looked more like they had fallen to Kael’s power without putting up a fight.

The purple lioness looked to Kael who was in the middle of transforming into his human form.

His mane shrank and converted into golden blonde hair and beard. His snouth snapped and reshaped into a fine arrow-shaped nose. His sharp teeth shrank and his bones rearranged themselves but they still retained their original metallic gold color.

"Well done," Kael nodded at Ruda and complimented her calmly.

Anyone who stayed with the Ol-mytee pride for a few days would notice that Kael had a way of interacting with each lioness that was different from the other.

Kael always seemed to match their vibes well and talked in a manner that they found most comfortable.

He talked like an intellectual when with N’bayé, he was more expressive with Priya, he showed impulsiveness when in front of Diane… and so on.

Kael was getting smarter by the day mostly due to having to experience everything without anyone showing him the way.

He had naturally learned that each lioness responded differently to certain behaviors and he had slowly been adapting to each of them such that he could easily switch from one false personality to the other.

Kael was basically learning psychological manipulation from scratch. Forced by circumstances of the wild, he had no choice but to subconsciously adapt to improve any chance he had of surging longer.

Usually, if he was talking with Ruda alone, there would be calmness, not the normal kind.

Kael would talk as f he was being forced to be calm but he would explode with craziness the next chance he got. He would put on the vibe of restrained excitement anytime he was with this purple lioness.

This always caused Ruda, whose extreme excitement was very much genuine, to mirror Kael’s behavior.

Without knowing it, Ruda would subconsciously make an effort to restrain her crazy side, waiting for Kael to explode before she did.

As she saw the excitement in Kael’s eyes that betrayed the calm expression on his face, Ruda became anxious.

She calmed down yet her excitement rose, it was as if she would destroy anything the moment she could to vent her inner chaos.

"Thank you," Ruda responded, forever oblivious to the discreet level of control she was now under.

The two horns that were still on Kael’s human head glowed green. Some of the vines that formed the cocoons stretched out and waved themselves before landing in Kael’s right hand.

He turned and placed the vine rope over his shoulder while firmly gripping it with his hand.

Kael used these weaved vines to drag the six cocoons, "Let’s go," he said to Ruda as he walked. The cocoons left six deep furrows in the ground as they were dragged. The trees subtly tilted out of the way, as if they had no intention of making this task harder for Kael.

Ruda silently followed with her eyes darting everywhere for potential threats.

Then she remembered something, "King Kael, that wolf, the spirit wolf…" She began.

"Is it about his thoughts concerning me? I already know about it, don’t worry." Kael said.

"No, it’s not that,"

"Oh, what is it?"

"He’s quite valuable. The way he handled his task was very efficient. I was thinking that maybe…"

"Remove such thoughts from your head." Kael cut Ruda off before she could complete her sentence.

Ruda was surprised to see Kael shake his head at her suggestion. "Why?...if you don’t mind."

Kael paused for a while before sighing.

He began to speak, "That spirit wolf is only appearing valuable because we haven’t found a replacement for him.

It looks like his spirit powers are very helpful but that’s not the case, at the same time it is.

We just don’t have a good way to communicate with each other, especially over long distances.

In the absence of professionals, a simple worker will look like an expert. That spirit wolf is not an expert, he is a worker who hasn’t been confronted with the reality of his replacement.

Even with his treacherous thoughts, I still have ways of making him useful. But it doesn’t change the fact that he is treacherous.

He is the type of person to only submit because he hasn’t had a chance to rebel. He is the type of wolf to bite the hand that feeds him.

You must be very careful with how you handle him. He is a wolf with the heart of a snake and the mind of a chameleon, falling for his current appearance will be a mistake that could cost you your life."

Ruda went silent, digesting Kael’s words. She wasn’t the best when it came to intelligently observing people, so she could only depend on the evaluation of smarter people like Kael.

"For now, that one who is called Duller has not outlived his usefulness. But believe me, his days are numbered."
