"Tribe Elder!" Not only did the lions in the surrounding area against Vicente's group shout, but also Rex, naturally recognizing the main Flaming Lion of this settlement.
He wanted to introduce Vicente to the tribe's council, but Rex hadn't expected the strongest of the tribe to come to them like this!
Freezing where he stood, Rex didn't know what to say as the giant creature ignored him to look at Vicente.
As a glorious Flaming Lion, the Tribe Elder didn't like the idea of having one of his own taken over by a magician. It was offensive and dishonorable. It would have been better if Rex had died!
But he wasn't a Grand Magus by coincidence. Recognizing that Vicente was not normal, the Elder did not kill Rex immediately, as many would have done in his place. He ignored the beast in restrained form near Vice and looked straight into the eyes of the most formidable human he had ever met in his life.
