Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World

Kael looked back to see Ruda, Olivia, and Zabita tussling with one of the crocodiles.

Olivia hugged the tail dearly with all her might, not because she was trying to attack the crocodile but because she wasn’t good at swimming.

Her body fat made it easy for her to float on the water but moving around was a whole different matter. So she held on to the tail like she was holding onto her sense of direction.

The crocodile was distraught by this. His tail was very powerful but with this heavy lioness hindering his movement, he could barely move forward or escape.

Not to mention there was a pale-furred lioness with metal claws scraping at his back while another one was biting one of his front legs.

No matter what, he had to make sure not to get turned over if not his soft underside would be exposed.

Zabita’s metal claws were sharp enough that they had no problem damaging his back and leaving long deep marks on his armor scales.

Ruda’s bites were even worse. The pain of electric currents passing through his body made him realize that this group of animals was not ordinary and weren’t on the menu.

But it was too late, he couldn’t even swim away, he could only let out a whisper-like screech. Ruda placed her purple paws on the crocodile and pulled hard with her strong jaws.

*RIP!*

She ripped the limb right off, causing blood to spill into the water, turning it red. This marked the end because the crocodile could no longer stabilize itself in the water without all four of its webbed feet working together.

Before he knew it, Ruda made it all the way to his shoulders, munching on the scaly skin with surprising speed.

The crocodile, however, died from the electric shocks before anything else. Its body went limp and its lack of struggle gave a sign to the lionesses that the battle was over.

Kael had just made it to them, they had finished that battle under a short amount of time, he had to commend.

But there was still one missing crocodile. Priya had said that there were four crocodiles.

One has already been slapped and half burnt to death by Eidel alone for the mistake of trying to attack her on land. She made quick work of the aquatic reptile as the smell of burnt flesh passed over the surface of the water to reach Kael and the rest.

The second one had its guts torn out by him and Diane, while the third was here in front of him, electrocuted to death.

’Where is Katari?’ Kael asked as he remembered the main reason why this fight had even begun. One crocodile had dared to attack Katari’s.

There was a splash of water as something struggled at the edge of the river not far away from Eidel.

Katari deactivated her spatial invisibility as she stepped out of the water, back first. Her jaws firmly held onto the thick tail of the last crocodile as she dragged it out of the water.

Katari was pissed, very pissed. Kael could tell by how her eyes had turned completely black, all the white sclera from before was now missing. His gaze was soulless as if she was looking at ’nothing’ yet also looking at ’something’ at the same time.

Kael sighed, he assisted Olivia in getting her bearings while he led the lionesses out of the river and walked over to Katari. Diane dragged the body of one crocodile while Zabita dragged another.

They kept the body next to the burnt one that Eidel had killed.

Katari successfully dragged the last crocodile out of the river even though it kept thrashing about. Interestingly, she was not interested in killing it, not yet.

The way it was now, Katari could easily kill it after some claw attacks or bites, but she waited for Kael.

Kael arrived and sat in front of the crocodile, facing its long snapping jaws. The other lionesses also came by and surrounded it. There was no longer any room for escape.

Just a few minutes ago, it was happy that its comrade had caught one prey. He didn’t care what type of prey it was as long as he got a share in it. He didn’t even have a tongue so taste wasn’t something he had ever worried about. Just filling his belly was enough.

But here he was, struggling for his life on land, the worst place for his kind.

Kael shrank down to his normal size, his golden jagged claws, and fangs went back to their normal size and his muscles relaxed. Now that his thinking became clearer, he felt more comfortable.

He looked at Diane, still in her berserker form, who looked back at him. A nod from him was enough to send the message.

Diane walked her massive muscled body to the side of the crocodile’s mouth. The crocodile tried to snap at her paws but she moved them lightning fast.

*BAM!*

Like a hammer, she brought down her right paw on the upper jaw of the crocodile. The strength she applied instantly sent the lower jaw into the hard ground.

Tiny cracks spread from the area as the crocodile frantically flailed its small limbs around.

Diane ignored this, she lowered her head, opened her wide maw, and bit on the nose area of the crocodile’s upper jaw.

Her sabertooth-like long fangs dug into its hard skin effortlessly causing the crocodile more agony.

Diane’s neck muscles contracted as she pulled up. Despite the crocodile being known to have one of the strongest, if not the strongest bite force and jaw strength in the whole world, this one found it hard to resist Diane’s monstrous strength.

The upper jaw rose up under the forceful pull of Diane, exposing its rows of sharp pointy teeth.

The lower jaw was about to be raised up too but Diane gently placed one of her paws on it. She easily bent away the sharp teeth by forcefully brushing them down.

Kael looked at this with an incredulous expression. He had simply intended for Diane to be the one to kill the crocodile quickly.

’She’s doing too much,’ Kael shook his head. Why was she using this as a way to show off her strength? Was all this necessary?

The sight of Diane pulling on the jaws of a crocodile in opposite directions with her strength alone was incredible, he wouldn’t lie. She reminded him of those muscle mommy’s from Earth.

Diane pulled the upper jaw to the maximum limit until a snapping sound was heard. All this while, Katari still bit onto the tail without letting go.

With multiple wriggles from Diane, the top jaw was broken off. The crocodile was already dead, no longer moving its limbs in an attempt to escape.

Kael looked behind him, there were more ripples in the river as time passed and they were slowly getting close. No doubt, these four crocodiles were not the only ones in this river.

Dealing with four crocodiles was one thing, but fighting against more than a dozen was overestimating their abilities.

Kael closed his eyes for a moment, reaching down to access the power that he needed right now.

"Gather the bodies, we’ll eat somewhere else," Kael spoke into their minds, although his voice was a bit loud and uncomfortable. It was his first time trying to speak to anyone telepathically.

Each crocodile was more than three meters in length and incredibly heavy. The lionesses were strong but they could only drag a crocodile for some distance before they eventually get tired. Someone like Diane didn’t have any problem going farther and even lifting most of the crocodile off the ground but her Berserker state could not be maintained forever.

Diane dragged one alone, Eidel and Ruda dragged another, Zabita and her mother Priya dragged one, and then Kael and Katari dragged the last.

Behind them was Nalii and Olivia who skipped happily, excited that she at least participated.

Nalii walked with confusion clouding her eyes. The bumps on her head had grown a bit, giving hints on the style and type of appendage she was growing in her head.

During the fight with the crocodiles, Nalii suddenly found herself, a really terrifying lioness in her own right, unable to fight.

The thought of biting into the flesh of those crocodiles had upset her beyond her own understanding. The only reason she had jumped into the river after Kael and the rest was because she was worried about their safety.

She was hungry but the meat of the crocodiles didn’t look appealing to her at all, not in the way that she wanted.

It wasn’t that she didn’t like meat anymore, she just didn’t know why her appetite was going haywire. A lot was happening to her body and she didn’t know why or who to talk to about it.

Luckily, the Ol-mytee Pride members were too busy discovering themselves to find offense in Nalii’s lack of action when it was needed.

Nalii was so puzzled that she didn’t see the massive blood-red crocodile the size of a small house come to the surface of the river behind her before diving back in.
