Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World

As Isaiah affirmed himself in the ground, he spoke telepathically, "Greetings foreigners, I…"

*SWOOSH!*

An ice blade shot past Isiah’s head, its tip slashing a thin line on his neck. If it had flown a little bit closer, it would have cut Isiah’s head clean off his neck.

He looked to see one of the humanoids, a white-skinned and white-haired girl, had her hand outstretched with frost energy still oozing off from her fingers.

Isaiah stood there, frozen, he didn’t dare to take another move or say anything else. He felt the gazes of all of them, before they looked at him with curiosity, now, they seemed offended for some reason.

"You opened your mouth to speak as though you believe us to be equals with you," Alora said, her brows furrowed like her peers.

"Tell us, bird, do you believe that?" Chloe asked as her black wings twitched. Isiah felt like those gaze eyes, a combination of brown, gold, and green, were staring straight into his soul.

Isaiah immediately shook his head, remembering the type of creatures he was talking to. Their aura was similar to Kael’s, meaning they were the same race. If anything, they should behave similarly to Kael too.

"I wouldn’t dare," Isaiah hurriedly said as he put his wings up.

"But you still speak to us in your true form. Do you perhaps see yourself as superior then?" Adolf asked, genuinely curious at how this bird could be so audacious.

Isaiah blinked, confused. Since when did assuming his true form mean he was trying to show his superiority?

But he didn’t dare argue, he was already here, so he might as well play along.

As he began to transform into his human form, the blonde-haired tall young man who was the most well-dressed began to walk over. As he walked, his finely tailored clothes tightened around his slightly chubby body and his full cheeks jiggled a bit.

One wouldn’t know this young man had a lot of excess flesh until he started moving around.

Thawne moved surprisingly fast even though it appeared as if he was walking slowly. By the time Isiah had finished transforming into his humanoid form, Thawne was already in front of him.

*BAM!*

Isiah was launched back as the fist met his belly. The punch only sent him a few meters, not too far, but it was painful. This blonde-haired man didn’t even look like he was one of those that prioritized physical strength.

"That’s punishment for not bowing, I shall give you another for not asking for our permission before speaking…" Thawne said, very serious about what he wanted to do as he walked toward the fallen Isaiah.

As Isaiah lay on the ground, curled up and writhing in pain, he wondered why he had not been able to dodge that blow. Thawne had even walked up to him and set his arms back to deliver the blow, yet it seemed like he had lost all survival instincts as he let that blow connect.

Hearing the footsteps of the blonde-haired man getting closer, Isiah stood up with a disapproving look on his face. Just because he wanted their help in taking revenge didn’t mean he would tolerate these insults.

The ferocious and disapproving look was noticed by Tawney and the other youths behind him and it caused quite a reaction. Like they had just seen the most blasphemous thing in the world, like fanatics that had just looked upon a piece of heresy.

The look Isiah gave Thawne was a look of disapproval and defiance. This look awakened the collective instinct to dominate within them, an instinct so violent and aggressive that they had special lessons on how to control it.

All the youths, including Thawne, took a unique step forward. The ground cracked in multiple places as all the youths disappeared from their positions in a flash of light.

Isiah’s eyes widened as he saw all the youths coming at him as different colored streaks of light. All of them shot at his position, arms pulled back for an attack and their auras suffocating the grass beneath them.

Even though he knew that he wouldn’t be able to do anything much about it, he still set up a space barrier around himself while raising his hands up instinctively to cover his face.

*BOOM!*

The ground exploded into multiple chunks and dust rose into the air. The sound was so loud that the large slave rats who were busy doing their work on the other side of the shuttle looked over to see what was happening.

"FOCUS ON YOUR WORK!" 27, the supervisor of the slaves shouted at them. But even he looked over, rubbing his fingers on his naked saggy skin while thinking to himself.

Isiah opened his eyes to discover that his body was not in pain, he was fine and okay and he couldn’t feel anything wrong with his body. This was surprising.

The power of fourteen tier 3 lions, even in humanoid forms, was not something to joke about. Not to mention they all stroked out at once.

Isaiah looked around to see a red shimmering barrier surrounding him and his own transparent spatial barrier. Beneath his feet was an array of complex magic patterns and formations.

"XU YING! YOU PROTECT THIS INSOLENT BASTARD!" Adolf shouted at the top of his voice as his flaming fist still pressed on the red barrier, seeking tirelessly to break it apart and turn this Isiah into crisp meat.

Xu Ying, who had been overlooking their interactions with the visitor from behind, waved his hand while saying, "Bah, even I am offended.

But don’t forget that the inhabitants of this world may have no knowledge about who we are or what we represent. It is up to us to teach them.

You guys aren’t used to taking no for an answer from other creatures. Many creatures of this world will disrespect us without knowing it, simply because they do not know who we are."

Alora’s blue eyes stared straight into the green eyes of Isaiah. She didn’t show any expression of anger, rather, she acted like someone trying to eliminate a future threat.

The red barrier expanded and pushed the youths away against their will.

"Do you all intend to crush every single thing that raises its head at you?" Xu Ying asked, shaking his head at how immature these ones were.

To his question, the youths didn’t answer. It wasn’t because they did not intend to crush whoever defied them, it was that they did not have the ability to do so.

"Come bird, do you have a name?" Xu Ying didn’t apologize for the previous bullying from Thawne and the attempt on his life from Alora, he didn’t see anything wrong with it.

Isaiah shivered in fright, never had he been so close to instant death in all his life. And despite his fear, he was clear-headed enough to understand the horror of this man that they called Xu Ying.

This blue-clothed man had casually blocked the attacks of fourteen tier 3 lions at once. And he wasn’t even defending himself, but another person. Isaiah now knew who he had to focus on.

"My name is Isiah," Isiah said.

"Isaiah, good name. You seem to be familiar with these ones, have you perhaps seen us before?" Xu Ying asked with an analytical gaze.

Isiah was elated that Xu Ying brought this up, he had been thinking of a way to start a conversation about lions without letting them know his true intentions.

"Yes, I have met your kind before, just as dangerous as you guys are." Isiah didn’t know much about lions but he knew that they were predators who had a deep sense of pride.

Calling them dangerous would only be seen as flattery.

Just as he thought, the youths and Xu Ying had their expressions relaxed when Isaiah said this.

"Just as dangerous as us? So they are as strong as we are?" Chloe asked.

"I don’t know…" Isaiah said, acting like he wasn’t sure. Of course, he knew that the Kael’s forces would not stand a chance against these foreigners, he was just lying.

He wanted Xu Ying and the youths to perceive Kael as a threat, rather than someone they could converse with on higher ground. Only that way would they go after him with their full force.

But maybe he assumed too much and didn’t expect the reply he got.

"So there are lions in this world? That confirms it, then." Xu Ying said with a thoughtful gaze as he looked at Isiah.

"Come, Isiah, I want you to tell me all about these lions that you know…" Xu Ying said as he walked back to the magic shuttle.

The door latch opened up and some stairs arranged themselves leading up to the door.

Isiah hesitated for a moment, not sure if he should follow. The youths no longer tried to attack him, they just stared. Perhaps, if he refuses to follow Xu Ying, they may try to kill him again.

He never knew that the bullying nature of lions was a universal thing and not just restricted to Kael and his group.

’I’ve already started, besides if he wants to kill me, I doubt he needs to resort to any trickery.’ With that thought, Isiah walked over naked to meet Xu Ying.

Xu Ying’s smile widened when he saw this, without wasting much time, he led Isaiah to the insides of the magic shuttle.

Meanwhile, Kael recovered in the presence of his lionesses, currently unaware of the schemes against him.
