Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World

The water whip hit Diane square in her tummy, causing her to lose her balance and fall over.

Luckily, she quickly reacted and used her powerful legs to push herself out of the way, dodging another set of powerful whips that hit the ground.

After creating some distance, she looked to the side to see the shallow hole Commander Bibi was in. She could see his hands and legs hanging out on the edges with blood stains everywhere.

She frowned, quickly trying to analyze what had happened.

Wadolius did not intend to give her time though. He waved his hand, sending a fierce wave of water, two meters high, speeding toward the humanoid lioness.

Diane stomped the ground and raised her arms to cover her face. Her body swelled as she activated the main ability of the war lions, the war state.

The water wave hit her but had little effect in pushing her away. Rather, her body cut through it with nothing but brute force.

By the time she put her arms down, she had completely transformed. Her muscles bulged, turning her into a hulk-like figure and giving her a height of close to ten feet.

Her tied ponytail hair turned spikey, and its length grew, reaching her waist.

At the meds of her arms and legs were long curved claws, black as obsidian and sharp enough to glint under the little sunlight.

Her teeth grew longer, edging out of her lips slightly to give her a menacing look. All she had to do was move her lips slightly to reveal a row of razor-sharp jagged teeth.

The blue-skinned man saw this and frowned. The water that mysteriously flowed around him condensed until it formed a protective ball of water around him.

"It's a pity. The two of you, help the others fish him out," Wadolius said while shaking his head.

His eyes widened as he hurriedly controlled the ball of water to move back, fortunately dodging a claw strike that was aimed at his neck.

Diane's body pierced into the protective water ball, encountering zero resistance. It wasn't that she was too strong, Wadolius just heavily underestimated her.

Water whips rushed at her, wrapping around her limbs and trying to pierce through her thick skin, all to no avail.

Meanwhile, the remaining two rats that were still in great condition ran past Wadolius and Diane, intending to find their targets.

Diane saw this and immediately rushed after them. She knew that something was wrong with these rats and had the intention of incapacitating them before anything happened. Unfortunately, Wadolius wasn't going to let her go.

"Be calm, let Kael come to save you," Wadolius said as he encased Diane's hulking figure in water, covering her whole body and cutting off her supply to breathable air.

Diane, feeling frustrated, concentrated all her strength in her legs and stomped down to the ground.

The result was a mini earthquake, the force of the stomp blasted the water away.

Even then, she still couldn't get to the two running rats, and Wadolius kept her busy. With no other choice, Diane focused all her attention on Wadolius.

She recognized the danger and wanted to get rid of it quickly. Instead of holding back due to pride, her body had already begun to transform, shifting her form into the true lioness she was.

The earth easily gave away under her thick claws as she stood on all fours at a height of seven feet.

Diane turned into a blur, lunging straight for Wadolius's neck, much to the blue-skinned man's fright.

Meanwhile, while all this was happening, Chloe and Isaiah flew above the mountain, watching the fights happening.

They saw Wadolius going toe to toe with Diane, eventually being forced into his lion form to balance the fight.

They saw how Baba was tunneling through the ground, disrupting the animals and trees in his way and heading straight for the other side of the mountain.

Rats swarmed from behind him, using his underground charge as cover to minimize their casualties and maximize their utility.

There was panic and confusion, this sudden attack came with a tricky force. Many wondered why the birds had not alerted them of such incoming threats.

Only Isaiah and Chloe could give an answer to that. After all, they had left a trail of bloody bird corpses behind them.

"Where is he? I want to see him for myself," Chloe lightly commented on her humanoid form. Her massive black wings flapped slightly, causing the wind around them to darken and flow fiercely. She was itching to take action.

"He should be around the corner," Isaiah said with seriousness. He was still in his bird form because he didn't know how to maintain his humanoid form and have his wings like Chloe did.

Isiah looked down, his green eyes scanning a wide area while he maintained a forcefield around himself. He could never be too careful when it came to Kael.

"For a defective lion, this Kael seems to be quite capable," Chloe said as she observed the other creatures below. She could see how they escaped in groups, orderly and planned, as though they had practiced it before.

Isaiah didn't say anything to this, he knew that Kael was very capable and was very much not the lion he painted him as. Kael was no pushover, Chloe and her friends were in for a harsh surprise.

But till then, he had to make sure they were taking the initiative. He didn't care about being loyal to them, lions were lions, whether they came from heaven or not.

All he wanted was revenge… by any means necessary.

The more Chloe observed the wolves and foxes, the more the frown on her face became more apparent.

Hey didn't act normal, they didn't act…with freedom. They moved as though they expected something to happen.

Yes, they panicked, but the pandemonium was limited. There was…order.

As a lioness who had participated in a few subjugation exercises, she knew that for these creatures to possess this level of orderliness, there had to be a terrifying force behind them. A force that could act as protection and assurance, as well as deterrence and a fear factor.

This orderliness could not be achieved without enforcing acts of cruelty. This was very contrary to the picture Isaiah painted of them.

Weren't they supposed to be predators that had some unspoken alliance with the lion, why did it seem like something else?

Just when she was about to question Isaiah about her findings, the crane spoke up.

"There he is!" Isaiah said, anxious to see Kael again.

Kael appeared out of the corner with another humanoid female beside him. They were frowning, probably wondering what the source of the commotion was.

*BOOM!*

The sound of an explosion reached their ears, drawing their attention.

One of the rats had been swarmed by the wolf warriors and had been ripped apart. However, once the rat breathed its last, its body exploded.

The explosion covered a wide radius, instantly killing ten wolves and injuring many others.

"We should get him before he realizes the danger we pose," Isaiah said hurriedly.

He flapped his wings and twisted space around him. Leaning forward, he dived down, to the surprise of Chloe.

"I'll take the one beside him, finish him off quickly," Isaiah said, unaware that his sentence came out as though he was giving an order.

Chloe frowned, her hazel eyes almost piercing into Isaiah's falling body. She scoffed then flapped her wings too.

Instantly, there was a loud boom as she shot down from the sky at shocking speeds.

Kael and Priya were looking around, wondering where these rats had come from, when they heard a loud sonic boom from above.

Within that same millisecond, Priya gasped and her body turned transparent like a ghost.

Almost immediately, dozens of spatial blades passed through her intangible form and hit the mountainside behind her.

"KAEL!" Priya's telepathic shout burst out as she stretched her hand to touch Kael, but it was too late.

*BOOM!*

From above, a fist struck Kael on the right side of his face with so much force that the ground beneath him was completely decimated. Pieces of stones burst out of the ground, unable to bear the rising pressure.

Kael's head was forced down in the opposite direction and his knees were forcefully bent. His bare feet sank into the ground, leaving web-like cracks around his soles.

The force pushing him down wasn't pure physical strength, there was a fierce gust that raged against his body, trying to hammer him into the ground.

Yet, this wasn't enough. Despite his knees bending slightly, Kael remained standing.

With the fist still connected to his face, Kael scowled. His body brimmed with power as he raised his head to look at his attacker.

But the owner of the fist was not done…

*BAM!*

Just as the first fist retreated, another fist descended from the other side, striking Kael on his forehead, followed by a torrent of raging winds.

This time, Kael was forced down and his kneecaps slammed into the ground.

"KAEL!"
