Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World

A few days later.

Nine members of the Ol-mytee Pride walked through the vast plains in a single-line formation, drawing closer to their desired destination.

Katari walked at the front, her vigilant eyes flashing from one place to another.

Kael walked behind her, his eyes on the golden screen floating in front of him.

He looked at the six Identity characters with heavy scrutiny m, noticing how they all looked alike yet different. He was also able to mysteriously understand what these characters were.

These characters were like a signature of some kind unique to each lion and lioness. Kael could feel that these signatures served as an identity mark on his Primordial record. For what this Primordial mark was used for he didn’t have any idea yet.

There was even a special character in front of the young lion’s identity mark that seemed to serve as proof of him being a pride leader.

What Kael did know was that, unlike the Primordial contracts, this Primordial record could be manipulated and changed.

He guessed that these changes could affect all those who had their identity marks on the record.

The Primordial record that Kael had access to was very different from what the other lions could see and was divided into two spaces, on one side was the list of identity marks.

On the other space was nothing but an empty blank area, like an empty notepad.

Kael tried writing many things on it with his mind, and strange alphabets were put on it automatically. Nothing happened though.

Kael continued tinkering with the Primordial Record, making sure not to bump into Katari who was in front of him.

’Do they see what I’m writing?’ Kael then wondered, this blank notepad-like space wasn’t there for nothing. The fact that the Primordial laws automatically made this blank space appear on his own meant that it had a purpose.

He felt that he could remove it even if he wanted to and leave just the list of identity marks.

’Hmm’ Kael thought of something then he wrote with his mind, [Kill a gazelle, Reward: 1 stone] appeared on the blank space.

He looked at it carefully, the format in which he wrote this reminded him of a certain feature of Internet messages from his past life.

Having time to exercise his control over the Primordial record, he continued making changes.

By the time the day ended, Kael had discovered how to separate different marks and group them. He grouped the six Identity marks under one group that represented their pride.

The words he wrote on the other space remained there as he didn’t know what to do with it for now so he just left it there. He had a feeling that the young pride members could see it but he wasn’t sure.

This was why he put a reward, although he doubted if anyone would like a stone as a reward for anything. He could just wait.

"NOEL!" a loud shout echoed from the side.

Kael turned to his right to see who was calling him. He blankly stared into the distance, confused.

He shook his head, assuming that he was probably hallucinating.

"NOEL!"

There it was again, Kael turned to look at where the voice was coming from.

"Huh?" It was only now that he realized that he had weirdly tried to answer the name, Noel, like that was him.

"There’s something wrong," He immediately said to all of the lionesses around him as he stopped walking. His brows were furrowed as he looked at all of them one after the other.

Katari turned around immediately to check on Kael. Seeing him looking around with a troubled expression instantly got her on alert, she also began looking around for any possible threats.

Olivia walked slowly over to Kael, "Kael, what’s wrong?" She asked worriedly. Kael didn’t answer, seeming to not have heard what she said.

His golden irises darted around inside his eye sockets frantically. They were unfocused, as though he was looking at what was not really in front of him.

"NOEL!" The voice came again.

Kael’s aura suddenly changed, becoming more regal and authoritative. His gaze landed on Olivia causing her to shiver. It felt like she was staring at a whole different person.

Katari and Nalii finally noticed that whatever was wrong was coming from Kael.

"You!" Kael said in a low whisper, this time using his mouth. He talked as if he had been using his mouth to talk for a long time.

"I never expected my cousins to betray me," His voice was calm and collected. The way Kael looked at Olivia reminded her of the way he looked at the young pride members.

Kael himself had long lost his sense of self, he couldn’t see Olivia. Instead, what he saw was a tiger, a really big one, in her place.

This tiger had blazing red fur with ink-black stripes all over its body. It towered over Kael by a head and its long tail that was like a fiery worm swished from left to right.

"You don’t listen do you Noel?" The tiger opened its mouth to ask in a deep manly voice. Kael could ’smell’ the stench of sulfur coming from the tiger’s mouth.

"We would have loved to join you on this campaign of yours but we have our own Primordial now. It doesn’t mean the bridge between us has to be broken."

As the tiger spoke, he majestically walked to the side and Kael’s head followed his movement. Eventually, the tiger stopped until his figure overlapped with Diane.

Diane felt uncomfortable with the way Kael was looking at her. The killing intent oozing off of him was very noticeable which made her deeply worried.

"Kael?" Nalii called out, seeing as the muscles on Kael’s limbs were getting tensed up.

Priya shook her head, "I don’t know why but Kael’s mind is chaotic, he can’t see or hear us right now."

"Can’t you do something?" Eidel asked with a frown. She was less worried about Kael and more worried about her and the other lionesses.

"I don’t know, I’ll try," Priya said before closing her eyes. A silent ripple spread from her head to Kael’s but nothing happened.

"I would like to congratulate you then on the birth of your race’s Primordial. But that’s not an excuse for turning your back on us without any prior warning.

Do you know how many lions died because you didn’t open this heaven’s gate when you should have? After everything we did for you."

Saying this, Kael’s body began swelling as he instinctively activated the power of the Warrior Lionheart.

His golden claws grew longer and thicker as they dug into the ground. His muscles pumped and his tail became extremely long. Two golden fangs grew out of his upper jaw, jagged and shiny.

The sparse dark mane on his back that was still in the form of a long mohawk stood on end like sharp needles.

"Priya…" Ruda called out as she felt the electric energy within Kael building up at a rapid pace.

Priya didn’t answer, she still had her eyes closed as she tried harder to get into Kael’s mind.

Katari stared at this with puzzlement drenching her mind. On one hand, there was Kael, the one who she would support with her life. On the other hand, was her fellow pride members who she shared Kael with.

Her loyalty to Kael was unquestionable and obviously higher than any other lioness here, growing up with a Kael who was tolerant of her clinginess could do this.

The level of attachment she had for Kael was enough that she didn’t mind killing a few cubs as soon as he ordered it.

However, she still cared about her fellow pride members, even if it was at a surface level. They helped take care of Kael after all.

She didn’t like the idea of Kael and them fighting for any reason, and neither did she think it would ever happen.

"Diane," She finally spoke, looking at the one Kael had his full attention on, "Defend yourself!"

As soon as her words ended, Kael pounced a Diane. Luckily she had already transformed into her War State before Katari had cautioned her.

*BAM*

As their two large bodies collided, a dull sound, like two extremely hard objects hit themselves with too much force, echoed out.

In Kael’s eyes, their collision split the land in two as he sent the tiger flying for kilometers.

His limbs released their power as his body was launched toward the direction the tiger was sent flying with incredible force. The launch left behind a shockwave and a large crater on the ground.

Meanwhile, in real life, Diane found herself being overpowered by Kael.

Kael wasn’t just using pure strength, his limbs were overflowing with electricity, making each move he made supercharged.

She tumbled to the ground, only for Kael to bite onto her tail without waiting for her to react.

Kael heaved, his neck muscles strained as he swung Diane’s large body around. Like a golden tornado blur, Diane was flung to the side until she hit a tree and stopped.

A lot had happened within a short time that the others didn’t even know how to react on time.

Kael was about to chase after Diane when a purple blur sped past his face. The painful sensation on his cheek seemed to enrage and confuse him at the same time.

He raised his paw to touch his cheek. The blood he saw made him stunned because what was happening in his head didn’t match what was happening in real life.

To him, he was going toe-to-toe with this blazing tiger then there was suddenly a scratch on his face. Since when was it so easy to scratch Noel on his face?

Suddenly, Kael disappeared from his spot, causing Ruda to miss her target.

Kael appeared like a ghost beside Eidel, stunning her.

"I could feel your heat from so far away, did you think you could escape my punishment?" Kael said as orange flames burst out of his body.

From his perspective, he was looking down at a crater with swirling lava. At the center of the pool of lava was the blazing tiger with multiple scratch marks on his body.

Two large golden wings burst out of Noels back as he flew into the air. He opened his mouth and a condensed beam of blue fire shot out into the crater.

Eidel was blasted away, she couldn’t fight fire with fire the way Kael intended. Fortunately for her, she was covered in the same fire and was only hurt from crashing on the ground.

"His mind is shifting too fast, it’s as if his mind hasn’t been stable for a long time!" Priya said telepathically as she felt a headache coming on. "It’s almost like… it’s like…he’s becoming someone else!"

Katari and Nalii nodded to themselves as they rushed after Kael.
