Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

So it decisively sent out a confidant who could still speak the Human language, hoping to arrange a meeting with the Lord of Lancaster!

Unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, its envoy was tied to a tree and left hanging for most of the day, unattended, and when it was finally released, it returned to its den, crying and wailing.

One who didn't know better might think it had inadvertently suffered the fate of a 'non-human' character in some pastel-shaded, soft-core narrative!

Fortunately, this time it finally managed to make contact with the Lord of Lancaster and had agreed to meet today on this plain.

For this reason, it groomed its fur in advance to ensure it wouldn't poof up while running, and following the advice of that Undead, it brought along him and a white flag as well.

As expected, as it approached the new Totem, it wasn't attacked immediately.

This allowed its constantly thumping heart to cool down slightly, thanking the World Mother for granting them the Human language. Even someone as shallow as the Moon Howling Lion King knew that a language for mutual communication is the foundation for building bridges of understanding.

Moreover…

Those Humans are so strong!!! Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

A single glance was all the Moon Howling Lion King needed to realize, even the foolish Old Lion King, with his feeble mind, could discern the might of those Humans.

The most terrifying part wasn't how high their upper limit was. Even the Shadow Wolf King, who previously refrained from annihilating the Moon Howling Lion Group out of fear, was afraid of being overrun and killed.

If it really came down to a fight to the death, it was merely a question of how many lions would have to sacrifice their lives to take down an entity like the Shadow Wolf King.

More chilling than this, it felt such a clear sense of danger emanating from every Human.

That meant, even if it could defeat those Humans, they could still send stronger ones to entangle it, and then massacre its species.

And the objects they had just launched in warning...

With such size and force, it far exceeded their comprehension. Standing on the Crystal-covered ground, it didn't dare use its horn to enhance its body with Moonlight Power, fearing any misinterpretation by the other side might lead to further conflicts.

"Stop there, another step means death!"

That colossal body, though not as immense as the fully-activated Totem Power of the Shadow Wolf King, was about as large as an elephant.

While the Rangers were very confident in their own strength, the oppressive power of immense physical size still made them somewhat uneasy.

Sensing the Humans' restlessness as it was about to approach them, it immediately sprawled on the ground, lowered its head, and said:

"O noble and unnamed great Totem! I am the king of the Moon Howling Lion Group, following the ancient covenant of Totems and beasts, I come bearing good intentions. Please allow us to join under your esteemed command. The entire Moon Howling Lion Group is willing to fight for you!"

When it raised its head, it saw the noble and unnamed Totem slowly remove his hood, revealing delicate golden hair on his tall ears, and it was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!

"O noble and unnamed…"

"Just call me Kael, Kael D. Helois, great lion. State your reason for wishing to join. Your answer will determine the fate of your tribe's future."

Hearing Kael's somewhat cool words, it felt a cold sweat breaking out on its forehead. Although this new Totem had beautiful ears like their tribe, there was no doubt, this was an extremely powerful Totem.

It sprawled even more submissively.

Confirmed, indeed they were ears not dissimilar to those of his own kind.

At first glance upon those fluffy ears, he felt that the Human Totem, which was already of a noble temperament, seemed to become even more appealing.

Anyway, it was pleasing to the eye no matter how one looked at it.

Uncontrollably, a flattering smile formed on its face.

Heaven knows how bizarre it appeared for a six-legged, one-horned great lion to wear such a smile, but Kael, who felt no murderous intent from it, did not think about taking action.

He had his own objectives.

"We, the Moon Howling Lion Group, wish to preserve the intelligent propagation of our kind and need the blessing of Totem Power. The Totem Power emanating from you originates from the same source as our ancient Totem, if it pleases you, we hope to serve under your command as your mounts and as sharp tools in conquering the four corners of the world."

"Do you understand what it means to join us? To us, you are the other, the alien. Unless I can employ special measures to be absolutely certain of controlling you, even if you are sincere now... For us, you remain a presence that must be watched with vigilance."

Kael issued his verdict to the Moon Howling Lion Group with detached coldness.

He harbored no thoughts of speaking to them softly or delicately.

He firmly believed that to truly ensure his own future's security, leaving oneself an edge in all matters was something he must learn to do.

Now was an opportunity to firmly control the Moon Howling Lion Group, and missing this chance would make it much more difficult to control these creatures next time.

As if understanding Kael's mindset, the Moon Howling Lion King stood up, revealing a serene demeanor, and said:

"This is an end our tribe has already anticipated. In the eyes of the strong, there is no place for the weak to speak. We only ask that when the Moon Howling Lions return to your command, they retain the possibility to develop and thrive... That is our last hope!"

When the Moon Howling Lion King spoke these words, its face showed a tranquil expression, as if it had long foreseen the fate of its tribe.

The Moon Howling Lions following behind it did not have a single lion speak out in rebuttal but quietly bowed their heads, silently awaiting Kael's judgment.

Looking at the silhouettes of the lion group, Kael, for some reason, was reminded of the conversation he had just yesterday about Wandong City's difficulties with the bishop from the Earth Mother Goddess Church.

He wondered if the goblins of Wandong City once stood before someone, crawling and begging for the right to live, just like today's lion group.

But regardless...

No matter what...

Kael would not allow a force that chose to surrender to be deprived of their ability to think and then live and die in a muddled state, just like the goblins had.

So he drew his sword, and its cold blade rested on the neck of the Moon Howling Lion King. A glint of cold light passed by, and a strand of mane was severed by the blade. Kael dismounted and approached the Moon Howling Lion King, saying:

"This strand of mane has suffered death for you. From now on, you and your kin will sever all ties with the past. Your future belongs only to me, to us Lancasters, understand?"

"Since the age of Totems, we have understood." The Lion King cracked a smile and then roared towards the sky, "Cubs, offer your sincerest allegiance to the new ruler, it is time to step into the future!"

The pride roared. At this very moment, the Twisted Jungle was thoroughly claimed under Kael's control!
