Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Ma’abu, Enough
Kael’s focus was barely interrupted by Ma’abu’s mad roar.
With his paw still on the conquered Buffalo, Kael raised his head to look at the sky.
Speeding over from a distance was a single lion riding the waves of the flow of ti.
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed the vast distance and was already a few tens of ters away from crashing into Kael.
"Enough Ma’abu!" mphis said as she stopped her front paw on the empty air beneath her.
A distorted ti wave spread out from her body, enveloping everything in her surroundings except Kael.
The consorts, the rogue rcenaries, even the Primordial Buffalo were frozen, although he seed to be struggling to break free.
Ma’abu was also frozen; his power over ti was not as super as mphis’s. Besides, most of what he knew about controlling ti ca from mphis.
She knew all of Ma’abu’s moves like the back of her paw as she had taught them to multiple other ti lions before him.
Kael looked around with a frighteningly cold expression.
’Hmm,’ Kael noticed that Katari had already broken free two seconds after she was frozen, surrounding herself in a layer of distorted ti to offset the power of ti.
But she didn’t move, not yet.
anwhile, Katari spoke up in the group chat at this mont, alerting the lion kings that Ma’abu had found Kael and they were about to clash.
No one could tell the kind of commotion this would cause for the lion kings who had already dug deep into the planet and were still smashing their way to the core.
Suddenly, mphis frowned, "Ma’abu, what did you do?" She asked.
The sound of glass shattering resounded before Ma’abu broke free from the constraints of his forr ntor.
"Teacher, you disappoint ," Ma’abu said, shaking his head and dropping to the ground, unhard.
Kael scoffed, annoyed, "What is it?" He asked mphis telepathically.
He had been hoping that mphis would hold Ma’abu down while he made short work of him and eliminated this threat once and for all.
Why was mphis then holding back? He knew that she had more than enough power to hold Ma’abu down.
Besides, Ma’abu was alone. He didn’t co with any of his lion kings from the Anti-Primordial coalition. He had probably sped up and left all of them behind, aning that those ones would catch up eventually.
The head of the snake was here. Once they cut it off, the whole body should be useless.
Why then was mphis acting contrary to what was planned?
Did she still have affection for this prodigal student?
"He’s body..." mphis said, feeling shocked, "My powers stopped working around my body."
"What?"
Kael took heavy steps forward, unafraid of Ma’abu.
The golden lion and the ti lion t. Kael had finally t the person responsible for a lot of his problems.
Technically, this was the first ti they were eting. None of them had intended to plan against each other from the shadows, but they did.
"All-King..." Ma’abu chuckled, baring his white fangs, "That’s a very bold na, the kind fit for a legend," He said.
He pranced around, stepping over the soil with elegance. His mood was calm but his eyes kept glancing around for any signs of danger.
His senses were mostly kept on mphis, he knew the current situation would cause mphis to hesitate instead of charging at him.
He had expected this, down to the very last second. He had taken so many variables into account, he felt that his plan had to work.
Ma’abu made sure to prepare fully.
"Ma’abu," Kael muttered calmly, "You must have spent a lot of resources to call
out like this, didn’t you?" Kael asked.
Ma’abu frowned, then relaxed; he had also expected this level of calmness from the All-King.
"How did you find the Gauntlet? You actually kept the secret to yourself until you wanted to use it to draw
out?" Kael asked.
"Who? ?" Ma’abu shook his head, "You’ll have to thank soone else for that.
I’m just taking the opportunity to end your existence once and for all."
Kael’s face remained expressionless but he was secretly wondering who else it could have been. If Ibadon was the one, then there was serious trouble.
"So, all this because I killed your son?" Kael asked another question, stalling for ti.
He could sense what mphis had talked about.
Ma’abu had indeed co prepared and his aura was sothing that Kael’s instincts were warning him to stay away from as much as possible.
"No no no no no," Ma’abu denied, "This is not about my son’s death.
Although, it was painful to find out he was dead, oh well.
But you, All-King Kael, you are a cancer to the lion race, a parasite, an unstable factor that must be removed for the race to welco peace.
Only in the complete absence of Primordials would the universe truly know what it ans to rest.
And with you out of the way, the lion race will be able to live in peace. Cubs would wake up every day no longer worried that a Primordial might be born to bring another era of restlessness.
With your death, there will be peace!"
Ma’abu declared grandly like a fallen eldritch priest. He sounded mad.
Kael’s fangs were finally bared, "As long as you are a lion, there will never be peace, only conquest.
It’s a sha you of all people could not have seen that. We could have worked together, conquered the universe together, so much to achieve.
But every story needs a hero I guess," Kael sighed.
By hero, he was obviously referring to Ma’abu. Any story told from Ma’abu’s perspective would make Kael look like a clear-cut villain.
"You taint your tongue and your lionhood with sinful words, Ma’abu. I’ll take it upon myself to wash that tongue with your blood..."
*BOOM!*
The ground exploded and Gabby as well as other lion kings burst out from underneath Ma’abu.
Coincidentally...
"Ma’abu is there! Look, that’s the Primordial Supporters and that cursed All-King!"
Roars ca from above and below, the combined aura of so many lion kings rushing out of nowhere instantly shattered the ti hold that mphis had been maintaining.
The Primordial Buffalo and Kael’s consorts were unfrozen.
Ma’abu lunged at Kael, ignoring Gabby who was about to bite his tail.
Lion Kings from above dived straight for Exalon and the other lion kings of the Primordial Supporters.
So much happened in seconds.
mphis saw everything in slow motion
So, she acted, using the full power of a ti lioness.
*SNAP!*
Silence.
mphis had not done anything. She couldn’t.
She had rely begun to distort ti on a continental scale when she felt it.
The planet moved.
She knew what she felt as she had felt it a lot back during the tis she left a planet right before destruction.
This Battle Planet was compromised, soone had managed to get to the core already.
Everything was still moving in slow motion.
She quickly assisted the situation, Kael was in danger.
But she couldn’t really hold Ma’abu back because of whatever he had in him right now that nullified her powers.
But there were the consorts and the Primordial Buffalo who were already being shrouded by Katari’s powers.
They were covered.
All that was left to handle were the enemies, the thousands of enemy lion kings shooting down from the sky with killing intent.
Within a millisecond, mphis had assessed everything to the best of her abilities and imdiately followed up with prompt action.
To the others, ti was moving very normally.
Ma’abu was speeding toward Kael, closing the gap between them almost instantly.
Gabby, Shawty, Saul, and the rest, were chasing after Ma’abu.
And thousands of lion kings were chasing after them from the sky, although they were now being stopped mid-air by a thick layer of ti flow.
The sheer weight of killing intent concentrated in this place was terrifying.
Alas, it was a bit too late.
Ma’abu had planned too well, using milliseconds to make adjustnts to his plans on the go.
He was aware of who was chasing him and who was helping . He was aware of multiple variables and was preparing them.
He too could see the world in slow motion, but he could also see Kael’s frightening gaze locking onto him.
But Ma’abu didn’t care.
He didn’t care about the almost undetectable earthquake that just happened.
He didn’t care about the lion kings following after him.
All he cared about was ending Kael’s life, that was why he had brought a forbidden item to this place today.
As Ma’abu lunged at Kael with extre speed, sothing slid out of his black mane.
It was a long, thick lion tail. Seemingly cut from the base of whichever lion it had co from.
The tail looked ordinary but the aura it emitted made any lion instantly want to vomit and stay far away.
Unfortunately, this tail was positioned by Ma’abu to appear directly in front of Kael in such a way that the latter wouldn’t be able to dodge it.
Like the chains of fate, the tail of an anti lion wrapped around Kael’s neck.
