Chapter 09 : King Simba

As the father and son duo gorged themselves with level 6 purified blood crystals, reaching new heights, the beast city was in chaos.

The Nascent Soul realm beasts were wondering what was happening as they discovered, with horror, that their bodies were long dead, leaving them with their nascent souls.

One of the very first to lose his body was the King's adviser, Zazu. He hadn't seen what had exactly happened as he was sleeping in his quarters. He was only alerted when his nascent soul came out of his now bloodless body. He then immediately scanned the city using his late-stage Nascent soul cultivation divine sense. What he discovered baffled him. He had no idea what could be done in such situations. He discovered that all the beasts from class 3 to class 9 had been killed and Nascent souls were being picked off one by one.

"I have to warn King Simba, or else there won't be anything left to protect." Zazu said as his nascent soul in the form of a colorful bird stormed out of the room.

Zazu was only several hundred meters from the palace when he started screaming, "Your Majesty. Your Majesty. We're being attacked." As zazu arrived closer, he remarked that he wasn't the only Nascent Soul who had lost his body who had the idea of alerting the King.

Hundreds of nascent souls encircled a two meter long golden lion whose mane seemed to be lit aflame.

"Zazu, go into the city and take five Nascent Souls who haven't lost their bodies yet. I want you to escort Nala and my children out of the Beast City and head to the Dragon Lands. We will follow you there once we've dealt with the threat." Simba commanded.

"Your Majesty. Are you going to abandon the city?" Zazu asked.

"Our top priority is to save as many Nascent Souls as we can, whether they have lost their bodies or not and then we will see if we can deal with the attacker or not. I just scanned the Brightwood mountains and there are only two enemies south of the city. Two big red wolves. I do not know their cultivation but to use such underhanded methods, they must be weaker than me at the very least, but since they planned to kill the weaker ones first and leaving the stronger ones last, it must mean that they have enough confidence to take us on and that they are only being cautious not to leave anyone alive behind."Simba said as he grew bigger to reach a height of ten meters. He then roared, "I ORDER EVERYONE IN THE CITY TO RALLY AT THE ROYAL PALACE. YOU HAVE TEN SECONDs. FAILURE TO COMPLY MEANS DEATH."

He wasn't lying. If the remaining beasts didn't make it to the royal palace in the short time possible, it meant that they would've lost their bodies.

By the time John and Drake heard that roar, they had already reached their limits after absorbing hundreds of level 6 purified blood crystals.

Of the 1300 Nascent souls inside the Beast city, 1100 of them had lost their bodies forever due to the actions of the Blood Soul Clones. And since each beast gave three to four level 6 purified blood crystals, the haul amounted to more than 4200 purified crystals. John had eaten roughly two hundred of them before he reached his limit and Drake ate 400 of them leaving behind 3600 level 6 purified blood crystals.

John's red wolf body had gained two more meters in height reaching 7 meters while Drake remained at 5 meters. It was incomprehensible since they had ingested the same amount of energy.

"I do know how strong I am, but I do not fear that lion. Hey, it mane and eyes are on fire, do you think it has the fire element ability? If so, If you manage to extract it, do think of me first." John said.

"We'll see when we get to it. Let's not make them wait. Let's go meet them." Drake said.

For some reason, Drake's Elder Vampire Bloodline had been in fluster ever since they got close to the Beast city. He had never felt so so hungry for blood in his three lifetimes.

It couldn't be Simba's Void beast blood since he didn't feel it when he was with the dying Mufasa.

As he got close to the center of the city, he seemed to finally smell the faint fragrance of a powerful blood and he was almost going crazy fantasizing about how he would feed on it. His vampire self was going crazy.

But in this world, if he could ignore even a Void Beast's blood, what kind of blood could make him crazy just by smelling it?
