Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 159: Clash Of Lions

From the moment Chloe punched Kael, she could sense that something was wrong, something was deeply wrong.

She was disturbed by how easily he shrugged off her first punch, only bending his knees slightly to redirect the excess force.

Her second fist banged down on his forehead with greater force, pushing him down to his knees. She was fast, not giving him time to react to her sudden attack.

But that was all…

Her hand was raised for her third strike but it never came down. Isaiah's surprise attack had failed and the woman standing beside Kael released a terrifying spiritual scream.

Despite the terrifying headache and the strange visions, Chloe could still not move. Even the wind was frozen and her wings were stuck in one position.

The only thing she could move was her sharp hazel eyes which stared down in terror as Kael slowly raised his head.

As the golden haired man stood up, pieces of rocks levitated with him, as though trying to match his gravitational position.

Kael raised his head up, his glowing golden eyes gazing straight into this lady's eyes.

Chloe felt a cold shiver run up her spine and her eyes dilated. This was not the glare of a weakling, this wasn't the glare of a defective lion. No, Kael stared at her the same way the lion kings stared at their enemies.

Unrestrained killing intent.

The will to slaughter was thick and could be felt from Kael. Even though his golden eyes were calm, the depths of his mind were chilling.

Chloe struggled to break free from the mysterious hold, not to continue fighting, but to escape.

Yet, the space twisted around her body, locking her in place.

"You eventually came," Kael said, his telepathic voice deep and penetrating. He casually glanced at her black wings, a light of interest momentarily flashing by.

Kael was not mad, he wasn't angry, he couldn't be. He was very calm actually.

He had expected these lions to meet him at some point, he just didn't know how or when it would happen. Looking at her clothes, he could tell that she was related to the magic vessel that arrived in this world three months ago.

However, just because he was calm didn't mean he would tolerate such audacity.

"Which god gave you the guts to touch me?" Kael asked, his golden eyes becoming more intense.

He reached out to hold one of Chloe's arms. He wrapped his big palm around her wrist, feeling the fabric of her grey long sleeve.

Suddenly, Kael tightened his grip, instantly crushing her bones into small fragments. From the gaps in-between his fingers, blood flowed out.

Chloe's eyes were opened wide but she couldn't scream or move. She could only cry in the confines of her mind.

The pain seemed to send her into a maddening phase. The wind picked up and black wind blades started forming around the duo.

Space began to crack, the forces of the world answered the call of Chloe and worked to shatter reality on her behalf…at least.

The sound of glass shattering filled the area and with a flap of her powerful wings, the spatial hold was broken.

A terrifying gust of black wind descended on them, blowing away the small pieces of rocks.

Kael still had his hand wrapped around her wrist. Multiple bloody cuts had begun appearing on his body, each deeper than the last. If he didn't act soon, he might be cut in half.

"Kael," Priya who was beside Kael hurriedly touched his shoulder, effectively turning him into a semitransparent intangible form.

This panicked action inevitably caused Chloe to rush out from the hold as her wrist easily passed through Kael's suddenly intangible hand.

"ISAIAH!" She shouted at the top of her voice, her eyes clouded with rage. Every flap of her wings caused the air to howl like crying ghosts.

But Isaiah was nowhere to be seen.

Kael had a deep frown on his face, he couldn't get angry at Priya, she was trying to protect him.

A technique that allowed her to turn into an intangible spirit form, something she learned some time ago. She could also turn others intangible, provided that they had spirit related powers beforehand.

A good ability, one Kael appreciated, not just at this moment.

Without saying a word, he leaped into the sky, cracking the ground beneath him. Chloe stared coldly, sure that he wouldn't be able to reach her altitude just by jumping alone.

Kael proved her wrong. The look of shock in her eyes when flames burst out of Kael's hand and feet was very clear.

'Chimera's don't do these things!' She lamented in her mind.

"Won't you ask why we're attacking you?" Chloe asked, exasperated. Her wrist was healing, albeit very slowly.

"A lion needs not worry about the opinion of a sheep," Kael stated, plain and simple while shooting forward, like a flaming missile.

"Humph, we're both lions," Chloe spat back but her body shivered from fright. That simple statement was enough for her to know that they had been completely mistaken.

This was not a defective lion who needed to be put down, this was royalty in its purest form.

Isaiah had lied, this was very apparent now.

'Why did we even listen to that bird in the first place,' Chloe lamented as she hurriedly conjured four black wind claws and sent them at the approaching Kael.

However, Kael simply waved his hand, slapping away all the wind claws like they were flies. How was that even possible?

At first, Chloe thought that Kael was a War Lion, given how strong he was physically. Then he exhibited control over space, something that was very rare, even in heaven.

Now, he was shooting flames at her while she shot wind blades at him.

She had never seen a lion like him, even his humanoid form was oppressive, and she was yet to see his true form.

Those golden eyes, she could tell, he was studying her. Every feather, every blood drop, every expression she made, he was observing it.

This was a trait she usually saw in Magus Lions like Xu Ying. She refused to believe that Kael also had the powers of a Magus Lion, she refused.

The worst thing was that Chloe had the nagging feeling that Kael was not trying, that he wasn't coming at her with his full power.

She could sense it any time Kael got dangerously close, he wasn't exactly suppressing his strength, but he wasn't trying his hardest either.

His aura was not of a tier 3 lion, but it also wasn't of a tier 4. It was in between, a few more pushes and he would evolve to tier 4.

This was horrifying, although Kael was not a tier 4, if he was indeed halfway there, then the gap between her and him was much.

If Kael was truly a step away from tier 4 as she was guessing, then that meant he had been playing with her right from the start.

He had been toying with her, observing, studying, learning, silently making a decision.

This was supposed to be a simple mission, 'Fuck you Isaiah!' Chloe groaned.

Just then, she caught sight of the happenings down below while narrowly dodging a fireball.

Down below, in the midst of the explosions, Baba was currently tunneling his way around the mountain. He was like a shark, prowling the waters for his next prey.

Wherever he went, ridges would sprout to the surface above him, intercepting or even injuring whatever creature was in his way.

Chloe realized that she wasn't alone, she didn't have to deal with this monster on her own.

With her decision made, her body transformed and she became a massive lioness with encompassing wings, black fur and feathers, and her full strength.

Her clothes disappeared mysteriously, looking like they had sunk into her body.

Kael's eyes narrowed dangerously, as if warning Chloe of her next choice.

Chloe flapped her wings, causing a low booming sound to echo out as she instantly arrived in front of Kael. She slammed her whole lion body into him, pushing him downward.

At first it was a push, then it became a fall. Chloe felt her shoulders grow numb after slamming her body into Kael's.

The burst of flames Kael was producing wasn't enough to resist the sudden hit so he spiralled down with the Air Lioness.

Just when they were about to hit the ground, Chloe spread her wings again, stopping herself from falling.

Meanwhile, the ground burst apart as Baba, in his lion form,

jumped out of the ground and lunged after the falling Kael.

Baba clamped his jaws around Kael's shoulders before diving down into the earth again.

Feeling that Kael was already initiating his own transformation, Baba pushed through the ground with Kael's body in front of him acting like a shield.

Baba's four front limbs moved rapidly, tearing out the rocks around them and giving the earth lion room to move fast.

Eventually, Baba and Kael burst out of the ground again, this time Kael had completely transformed into a golden lion that towered over Baba.

Baba licked his lips, he felt like he had just bit a statue made of iron. His teeth didn't even get past the fur, talk less of drawing blood.

Baba panicked, seeing this strange form and noticing the lack of injuries. He rushed Kael again, slamming into him.

Kael, starting to get frustrated with this guy, dug his golden claws into Baba's shoulder.

Baba roared in pain as the sharp claws pierced into his flesh and scrapped his bones.

The both of them hit the mountainside with a loud boom. They smashed through the rocks, crushing their way deep into the mountain with Kael's body taking most of the blunt force.

As the two were tunneling through the mountain, space twisted on the opposite side.

Katari teleported out of nowhere, looking at all the commotion with a cold, indifferent expression.

"Hmm…"
