Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 94: Spirit Signature
Most of the wolves could still remember that fateful day, that day when the spiders attacked almost every creature in the forest at the same time.
It was not a day that made them feel good when they tried to remember it. It was a memory that was accompanied by the feeling of loss.
Although among the three main wolf clans of the forest, the Bibi clan had been neutral in the fight against the wolves. But that was partly because they were the weakest of the wolf clans.
It didn’t mean they were going to forgive the spiders for killing their kinsmen, they would attempt to kill on sight any spider they saw.
The spiders had already begun to release hissing sounds and the wolves growled.
Seeing this, Kael glanced to the side with nonchalance, observing as the two species hurled racial slurs at each other.
He wondered just how many evolutions a spider needed to go through before they could become as powerful as the ones in front of him.
Kael could also tell that these spiders were not of the same power level, their spirit power varied in intensity, some higher than the other.
For most of the spiders present, even though they had already awakened their spider hearts, they were just as strong as an ordinary wolf.
Their starting point was much lower than the wolves so this had to be the case. This made spiders like Natalia an oddity.
Who knew how many evolutions she went through and how long it took her to reach her current level?
"Stand down!" Commander Bibi ordered his wolves hurriedly. He also didn’t like these spiders one bit, but he had to cooperate because of Kael.
He had seen Kael’s fingers twitch slightly just before he ordered the wolves to stand down. Commander Bibi felt the chill down his spine, it was better not to needlessly annoy Kael just because of their personal beef.
"The kingdom now operates with these Web Handlers. You can keep your grievances for now." Kael said.
He frowned, he was at least aware that soldiers of any nation should not be bearing mass resentment towards anything that the leader supported.
Thankfully, Natalia was smart and stepped up, "Wolves, on behalf of my race I apologize for what you all went through, I understand how you feel.
But believe me, my Darktale Web Handlers had nothing to do with the attacks.
However, in hopes that you all forgive us, I shall ensure that nothing but honest business is conducted between me and your king."
Natalia’s words were soft and they were accompanied by a spirit wave that placated the restlessness of the wolves.

The wolves calmed down, wondering what they found in Natalia’s words that made them so forgiving all of a sudden.
Kael spoke up then, "Did you bring the information I asked for?"
"Yes," Natalia nodded, then brought out a ball of webs from behind her. Kael didn’t know if the ball of webs had been behind her all this while and he couldn’t be bothered to ask.
"What’s that?" He asked.
"This is merely something that we use to record knowledge for non-spiders. You don’t need to be spiritually powered to be able to derive information from this.
You just need to will it and the web ball will transfer the information directly into your mind." Natalia answered truthfully.
She then walked over on her eight legs, intending to hand the web ball to Kael herself.
As she got closer to him, Kael noticed something, ’They are really big,’ He thought in his mind while giving her an indifferent glance.
When she arrived in front of him, Kael could see that she was slightly taller than him, mostly because of her long spider legs.
If one ignored the creepy spider’s lower half, Natalia would be considered a very rare beauty. The six dots on her cheeks just seemed to add to that mysterious attractiveness that she had.
However as Kael saw her stand in front of him, as he raised his eyes upward slightly to look into her black eyes, he discovered that he wasn’t aroused at all.
Kael was a man, and a man, most days of the week, cannot choose who makes them feel aroused. It just happens.
But as Kael stared at Natalia, he just felt like he was looking at another creature that wasn’t a lion.
Maybe it was the scent that she was giving off or that he already knew that this was a spider, he just didn’t feel any atom of sexual attraction to her.
The thought of what he wanted to do to N’bayé made his rod twitch slightly yet the thought of him drowning his head in those big breasts made him feel…meh.
"Here," Natalia stretched out her hand to hand the web ball over to Kael. Kael snapped out of his thoughts and took the ball from her hand.
Her fingers brushed his by a hair’s breadth. Natalia felt the sheer explosiveness hidden beneath Kael’s skin just from that faint touch. It was surprising how so much raging power could be sealed inside this golden-eyed person.
Kael also felt the crisp and cold sensation of Natalia’s skin. Her skin was fair and smooth but it felt like he rubbed his fingers against a metallic surface.
The contrast between how it looked and how it felt was quite confusing to an ordinary mind.
Kael retracted his hand, observing the white web ball closely. He did as Natalia suggested, willing for the information within the ball to enter his mind, and it did.
Like a tap that had been turned on, the information started flowing in steady streams.
"And as a gesture of our goodwill, I put an extra information in there for you. It concerns the mountain and I think it would benefit you in some way." Natalia said.
Kael nodded before removing his focus from the web ball, he would check in detail at a later time. He stepped aside so that Natalia could see the deer carcasses behind them.
Natalia had already seen the deer carcasses and had simply been waiting for this moment.
Her spirit energy erupted as he gave a direct command to the spiders behind her. The multiple dog-sized spiders immediately went forward.
"Make way for them," Commander Bibi said. The wolves stepped aside as the Spiders approached the deer carcasses.
The spiders immediately went to work, wrapping their webs around each deer and forming a white cocoon around them.
As the spiders dragged the deer back, Natalia suddenly looked far into the distance, her eyes narrowing and the six dots on her cheeks shrinking to pin tips.
"Who…is that?" She asked, feeling a very faint but unique spirit signature in the distance.
Kael raised his eyebrows, surprised that she could detect Priya’s rising spirit energy from so far away. Natalia was indeed powerful.
Kael himself couldn’t feel anything unless he went closer. But he knew that Priya was the one who Natalia was sensing.
"Hope you are not intimidated?" Kael asked with a playful smirk. That seductive smile that was usually on Natalia’s face was wiped clean.
"No, just curious." She replied.
"Okay," Kael said, he wasn’t going to reveal all his cards, not now.
Natalia frowned, the spirit energy she was feeling was very much weaker than hers but it was also threatening. The spirit signature reminded her of one particular spider that was very good at mind control techniques.
That spider had been a menace in the spider society. Because of him, no one knew who to trust for a very long time. Thankfully, he died of old age.
Natalia had been one of the victims of that spider’s mind control and she was very familiar with the spirit signature.
What she was feeling, despite it being very far away, was very similar to that spider’s spirit signature. What did this mean?
"Is it one of yours?" Natalia asked after some contemplation. She was tempted to go and kill the source of that spirit signature before it was too late but she doubted if she could get past Kael if he didn’t let her.
Kael simply nodded his head, to which Natalia sighed.
Natalia nodded before she turned around and walked to the edge of the burrow entrance, ready to enter it.
"I’m looking forward to your future information requests King Kael. I’ll see you later." With that, Natalia climbed into the burrow, confident that she had established a business relationship with a powerful patron.
Kael watched the spiders leave as they dragged the web cocoons into the burrow.
He looked at the web ball in his hands before giving out a command to Bibi IV,
"Let’s go,"
Commander Bibi barked and the wolves formed two rows behind and in front of Kael, guarding him from all sides.
Ruda and Zabita walked beside him and Commander Bibi walked in front. This was an escort service that wasn’t really needed.
However, Kael knew that Natalia had her eyes on them one way or the other. The manner in which Natalia came and went couldn’t be downplayed, he too had to go aura for aura.
