Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 87: Break Or Bend!

Burdo stared at Kael once more, acknowledging that this was indeed his brother.

"What do you mean?" He responded and then sat down.

"You left Father’s pride about a year or more ago. I want to know what has happened to you since then." Kael said as straightforwardly as possible.

Burdo frowned, not able to take Kael’s tone to him calmly. "You haven’t seen me for so long and the first thing you ask is this?" He asked.

"Answer my question, Burdo." Kael’s voice was firm and his eyes were steady. He didn’t seem to be interested in repeating himself too.

"Watch your tone, who is this Burdo you speak of?" Burdo frowned harder. He could feel Kael’s aura but his ego did not make him bend.

"Burdo is the name I gave you, I go by the name Kael. Once again, tell me about your last year." Kael responded calmly, but Ruda could sense that feeling again when she glanced at him. She could feel that this was just the calm before the storm.

Both of them were sons of a lion who had extreme pride. They also inherited that unwillingness to bow that any lion who had tasted power would have.

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?" Burdo stood up and walked to the edge of the red circle.

He seemed to be forgetting that Kael had previously made him unconscious before he could fight back.

Kael looked down into Burdo’s eyes, his face was calm but there were traces of purple electricity flashing through his eyes.

The tension between the two brothers reached its peak within a few seconds after Burdo woke up. The water lionesses were uncomfortable as they stood behind Burdo.

Their pride leader did not give them any confidence that they could take on these lionesses standing with Kael.

"Do you see anyone else with such authority?" Kael asked.

"Where is Mother?" Burdo replied with another question again, something that Kael found to be very annoying.

"I’m the one asking the questions here…"

"Get lost!" Burdo shouted, causing silence to reign.

N’bayé looked at Burdo like she was looking at the greatest idiot of her life. When ego was bigger than common sense, it created idiots.

Kael knew Burdo had a large ego, he just didn’t know it had grown bigger than before.

Kael’s suppressed aura was released as he took a step into the red circle. Burdo’s instinct screamed at him to get out of the way, making him involuntarily take a step back.

"Back then, you became greedy for the things your father had," Kael said as he closed in on Burdo who kept on taking a step back.

Burdo growled, he didn’t like the feeling of backing away from another lion, the last time he had done that was when his father chased him out of the pride he grew up in.

"Because of that, Father had to deal with you with brute force, just like he did with me. The only difference is that I left willingly while you were banished.

Either way, you desired things you didn’t have the power to have. If Father wasn’t stronger than you, who knows what would have happened to him?

And for a long time, I hoped I wouldn’t encounter you. After all, if you could desire what belonged to your father, what is stopping you from stealing from your brother."

Kael continued walking until he cornered Burdo at the edge of the red circle. Burdo discovered that he could no longer back away as he felt his hind hit a barrier.

He looked back to see nothing, the red circle glowed to show the power it had.

Kael’s aura kept rising and his body seemed to swell.

"Now, I see what I must do.

I will beat you up until you die by my hands. The only way to stop this misfortune I will now deliver to you is to surrender.

For that is the only way to handle people like you."

After Kael said that, he waved his hand to send a sign to N’bayé.

N’bayé nodded before the runes on her body glowed again. The water lionesses found themselves pulled out of the red circle.

N’bayé’s large paws descended on their heads before they could react. They became dizzy and disoriented as runes appeared on their foreheads.

Burdo, seeing, rushed after N’bayé, not to attack her but to look for a way to escape. The runes on the ground matched the runes on N’bayé’s body, so he assumed she was the one responsible for his entrapment.

However, before he could luckily make use of the barrier breach that N’bayé used, he felt a strong grip on his scaled tail.

He fell to the ground, losing balance from the sudden pull. Looking back, he saw Kael’s strong hands holding onto the end of his tail.

Kael’s nose flared and his eyes stared into Burdo’s with aggressive intent.

"IMPUDENT!

TODAY, I WILL SEE IF YOU WOULD RATHER BREAK THAN BEND!"

With that said, Kael pulled the tail back, pulling Burdo with it, and flung him to the back.

Burdo was powerless against the strength of a war lion in human form. His body slammed into the invisible barrier hard, and a visible crack appeared and spread out.

Burdo slid down to the ground, gritting his teeth from the pain. He looked up to see Kael calmly looking down at him.

"Expand and Strengthen!" Kael commanded N’bayé to which she obliged.

The red circle expanded to four times its size, forming a small arena space. The barrier went from invisible to a transparent red, visibly getting thicker.

Burdo was starting to realize just how bad his situation was. The weight of his impending doom settled in his mind like a heavy mountain.

He leaped at Kael, his claws bared and his fangs exposed, intending to rip Kael to shreds.

Kael moved fast, closing in on the water lion while he was mid-air, throwing Burdo’s calculation away.

Kael turned his body, easily avoiding the claws. His arm shot up and grabbed Burdo by the neck.

Burdo felt his scales break away under the powerful grip around his neck. Before he could think of a way to escape, Kael took action again.

*BAM!*

Burdo was slammed into the ground back-first, causing cracks to form and spread across the ground.

For a few seconds, he lost his breath, gasping for air like a fish out of water. His back that slammed into the ground ached and he felt his spine trembling.

"It’s been fifteen seconds and you haven’t even landed a scratch. Yet I still sense your indomitable pride."

Kael talked calmly, but his actions were far from calm. He reeled his leg back, then sent it forth at a terrifying speed.

The kick hit Burdo directly on his abdomen, sending him far until he crashed his sides into the red barrier.

"Perhaps, in another timeline, you would be the one to take my place."

Kael walked forward, his long golden tail swishing left and right.

N’bayé, Diane, Zabita, and Ruda looked at all this with a sadistic smile on their face.

Ruda knew that Burdo was her brother, but the memory she had of him was not so great. Burdo hadn’t been the best of brothers.

Compared to Kael who was a bit more sensitive and not too self-centered, Burdo was just selfish and lacked comprehension of other’s feelings.

She remembered how Burdo would try to take their food by force. If not that they had followed Kael in staying away from Burdo, she and the rest would have been traumatized.

She looked at the water lionesses who still couldn’t come back to their senses. She wondered what these five lionesses even saw in her brother that they were willing to follow him from wherever he got them from.

Burdo quickly got up from the ground, seeing that Kael was coming with killing intent.

"Why must you bully the weak?!" Burdo shouted as he ran to the side, intending to create as much distance between him and Kael.

"How hypocritical."Kael almost laughed at those words. To Kael, this wasn’t bullying, this was just a simple execution of the surrender-or-die tactic.

There was no brotherly warmth in Kael’s eyes. All he recognized was a blood relative that could be a pain in the ass if he didn’t handle it soon.

Kael still had intentions for Burdo. If he killed Burdo, who knew when next he would get to see another water lion? He first had to find out where Burdo was coming from before he got here.

Not to mention he still needed to establish a clan. And for the perfect structure he had in mind, he would need a Water Lion pride.

But if Burdo was still adamant, he wouldn’t mind killing him. He could always take one of the water lions as his consort if it ever came down to that.

From the looks of Burdo, it seemed Kael might just have to resort to the other option.

"Look at you, a water lion, but you haven’t even used any unique abilities to fight me. I know you just advanced to tier 2 not long ago, Burdo.

Tell me where you are coming from, and I will take that as your surrender." Kael said, knowing that this was the last time he would have the patience to ask so nicely.

Burdo lowered his body to the ground, preparing himself for a fight. He knew he might die but his pride would not let him think of the idea of backing out.

"No," he responded before running after Kael again.

Kael sighed, then disappeared.
