Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 89: Natalia
N’bayé and the other lionesses looked back to Kael disappearing into the forest. He seemed to be chasing something.
"N’bayé, what’s that?" Diane said as her pupils narrowed and she tried to identify the entity that was moving in the distance.
N’bayé’s two eyes began to glow as two tiny runes appeared in them. Her left eye had a deep red runic circle with intricate patterns. The right eye pupil was covered by a blue cross-like rune that replaced her pupils.
N’bayé’s vision pierced through the trees, going past Kael to land on the entity that was running away.
"Spider…" N’bayé said as she frowned. She sank into thought for a moment, contemplating some things.
"N’bayé!" Ruda shouted. N’bayé had already lost herself in thought while Kael was getting farther away.
N’bayé snapped out of her thoughts as she came to an uncomfortable realization.
"Watch them, I’ll be back," N’bayé said before running after Kael and the jumping spider.
Kael slowed down, but he did not stop pursuing the green spider.
This was the first time he saw a green jumping spider. His calm face mirrored his current mindset.
His sharp and predatory golden eyes locked on the figure of the green spider. He flattened his palm and slashed out viciously.
Space twisted as a sharp invisible blade shot after the green spider. The green spider had its spirit sense go haywire as it sensed something coming at it with unhidden killing intent.
A white web shot out of its abdomen and stuck to the branch it was standing on. The green spider jumped down from the tree and swung away on its web.
The spatial blade cut through the branch like a hot knife through butter, leaving a clean smooth cut.
The green spider fell to the ground, forced to crawl at normal speed after not having any tree to jump from.
Kael smiled at this, he had intentionally missed if not there was no way that spider could have possibly dodged the spatial blade.
He wanted to remove whatever advantage the spider had. He could sense that the spider had the same energy that Nalii had, meaning his spider had some kind of power over vegetation.
The green spider crawled fast, even though it was now on the ground, it was still very fast.
It hopped off the ground, intending to climb onto one of the closest trees, only for a ball of fire to hit the tree and explode into tree barks and hot flames.
The spider was forced to halt before continuing its escape. It tried to climb onto other trees but Kael would just destroy those trees before it could do anything.
It could only continue running, trying to escape to a safe zone that had been agreed upon…
Just then, N’bayé came from behind in her lion form, running after Kael.
"Kael, it might be a trap!" N’bayé hurriedly warned. By this time they had already gone very far from N’bayé’s den and it would take some time for any wolf warriors to come to their aid if anything happened.
"I know," Kael said as he continued following. N’bayé became confused, Kael knew that this could be a trap, yet he was still chasing.
She tried to understand what Kael was thinking and grew excited at the fact that Kael could be hatching a deep scheme.
If she were in her human form, she would rub her hands together like an evil mastermind while smiling deviously. This was the type of thing that excited her.

Soon, the spider slowed down and didn’t even bother to try to jump on one tree or the other. It approached a clearing that had multiple rotten logs strewn around.
Kael immediately stopped running with N’bayé. The latter transformed into her human form, both of them were vigilant as they observed the green spider.
The green spider came to a very wide hole that was beside a large rotten log. The hole looked like the entrance to a spider burrow as it had white webs weaved across its entrance.
The green spider hurriedly climbed down into the burrow, not like it was running away, but as if it had an urgent message to deliver.
"I think I know what this is about," N’bayé said, to which Kael simply nodded his head.
"I’ve been noticing some spiders spying on me in the past. I thought it was just a minor thing until I noticed how frequent it was.
And with the ongoing conflict they had with the wolves, I guessed that there must be someone or something pulling the strings, or in this case, pulling the webs."
Kael’s humor seemed to go over N’bayé’s head as she didn’t even register that Kael had just told a bad joke.
Her eyes were focused on the burrow entrance with seriousness, "I don’t have any magic inscribed item in this place.
All the items I placed here have all been destroyed or moved away long ago by someone else." She said.
"By who?" Kael asked.
"By me!" A slutty female voice came out of the burrow in the form of a telepathic tsunami.
Kael’s eyes widened. This was the strongest level of spirit energy he had ever felt since he knew what spirit energy was.
This spirit energy wave screamed of a dangerous level of intelligence and craftiness.
Out of the burrow shot out a large figure. Kael and N’bayé followed the figure with their eyes.
"Oh, it’s not her." N’bayé breathed a sigh of relief as she identified the spider that came out of the burrow.
The spider landed on the ground with a deep thud that made Kael wonder just how much weight this creature possessed.
The creature that came out of the burrow was a large black spider, slightly larger than the green spider that they had chased.
Its eight legs were long and pointy, stabbing into the ground easily. The spider’s body had a metallic sheen to it that suggested the type of power it possessed.
This spider had an aura of viciousness to it as it looked at N’bayé and Kael with a threatening gaze.
Kael did not feel any threat from this spider though. What intrigued was the web screen being carried by the spider in its back.
His web screen was like a weaved spider web but with only three corners. The web was held in place by three wooden sticks, stretching the web into fine lines.
The webs of this web screen were not white, rather they were multicolored and constantly shifting from one color to the other.
The web screen was placed at a ninety-degree angle, allowing Kael to clearly see the moving image that was on the web screen.
The black metallic spider drew closer with its legs spread apart to show its tall form. It stood at a height of more than a meter. Obviously, that was not its true height, it was just trying to look bigger because it was absolutely terrified of the two humanoids standing in front of him.
As the black spider crawled forward, Kael was able to see the image on the small television-sized web screen.
"Natalia," N’bayé stated as she recognized the humanoid being shown on the web screen.
On the web screen was the moving image of a naked woman who had a beauty, unlike anything Kael had seen before. Her attractiveness lay in the faint savageness that even Kael could notice being emitted from her bones.
Her eyes seemed to carry emotions but if one looked very carefully, there was nothing but cold calculations mixed with explosive savagery. Every emotion she showed on her face was a mask to hide her true monstrous nature.
One look and he could tell this woman had climbed over a mountain of corpses to get to her level. This kind of person always seemed easygoing until you stepped on their toes, then will they show their true nature.
"You know her?" Kael asked as he observed the naked woman. The six small dots on her cheeks let him have some guesses but he wasn’t too sure.
Despite her beauty and seductive body, Kael didn’t feel aroused or attracted to her in any way. He only saw a potential threat and was thinking of what to do with this new character.
"Yes, she’s Natalia, the brood master of the Darktale Web Handlers. She’s also the one who removed the magic items I put here." N’bayé stated as she stared into the eyes of the woman on the web screen.
"Oh N’bayé," Natalia spoke in her seductive voice, "You didn’t let me spy on you, why should I let you spy on me?"
N’bayé simply scoffed. Two of the most intelligent females in the forest had a beef with each other, it wasn’t so surprising when one thought of it…
"You brought us here intentionally, what do you want?" Kael asked, not interested in their petty conflict. As soon as he saw the design of the web screen, his eyes shone with greed.
"Oh, nothing much, just a business partner," Natalia said with a sly smile that wasn’t really a smile.
