Jay's breathing was chaotic. Not from exhaustion but rather from excitement!

Jay: [H-Helix you bastard!! (He screamed excitedly.) Why didn't you tell me that I needed to absorb bodies that had the same affinities as me to increase the grade of my affinities?!"

Helix: [You didn't ask sir.]

Jay: "If you had a body I would have smacked you so freaking hard bro!!!"

Helix: [Immature as always..(He whispered)]

Jay: "You said som'?"

Helix: [Hm? No sir!]

Jay: "... Alright! Let's return home fir- Wait!! Helix, can I start the operation and zap my bros with my lightning affinity?!"

Helix: [No sir. You do not have enough mastery over your affinities as of yet; especially your lightning one.]

Jay: "(Sighs) I don't want to wait five whole years though bro… I need the bros back!"

Helix: [There is one way sir! You only need two years max. You just need to train your control over your lightning affinity!]

Jay: "Oh?!? Helix you're the best bro! Okay let's return first and then begin training!"

After recuperating his mana he finally headed towards his home.

3 Days Later

______________

Jay: "Phew finally made it back!"

As Jay made his way back to the mountain top his family had already picked up his scent. They all came out to greet him but were momentarily startled.

Jay hasn't cleaned himself from the battle against the monster tide so his current look was extremely frightening.

His half grown mane was dyed blood red and his two front paws had dried up blood all over it.

His mother was the most concerned while his fathers and brothers all nodded at him knowing that it wasn't his own blood.

Kira: "Abaddon! Why are you drenched in blood?! Are you hurt?"

Eraison: "Relax woman, do you really think our little monster would get hurt in such a low class forest? Besides, he can't talk yet. He'll need another 4 years before he can start speaking in monster language."

Kira gave him a death stare before saying while smiling: "Rethink your words, honey." But she also agreed with Eraison and gave a light nod.

Although she looked kind and approachable her tone carried an icy cold aura of death! Eraison felt his fur stand on air!

But seeing her nod he released a sigh in relief.

Jay shook his head while smiling lightly.

Jay: "Mom dont worry this isn't my blood. This is the blood of several monsters from a monster tide!"

Kira: "Oh I see okay… WAIT WHAT?!"

Eraison: "Boy, did you just speak?!!"

Jay's eyebrows rose in surprise before nodding. Again they're acting weird. However, seeing his parents look at him with such a burning gaze he couldn't help but shiver.

Kira, Eraison and their other sons were all thoroughly startled hearing Jay speak. They all thought one thing: "How much of a freak is he?!"

Seeing their shocked expressions Jay held his head high with pride while continuously nodding.

They all laughed at his foolish antics before heading back inside the mountain cave. Now you might be thinking, why didn't they ask about the monster tide?

Well.. after hearing their son talk way before his time they started to grow numb to all the surprises he brought to them.

Looking at his brothers. He saw the milky white lion walking in the front. He had a half grown mane, crystal-blue eyes and a size only smaller than Jay.

He was the second largest lion of the four brothers. Jay being the largest of course.

Jay: "Ethan! How ya been bro!"

All three brothers turned around to see who Jay was talking to. His parents followed his brothers' actions as well. When they saw Jay was looking at Ethan they all felt confused.

Ethan tilted his head slightly as he saw that Jay was talking to him.

Kira and Eraison stopped in their tracks while gazing at Jay with confusion.

Kira: "Who are you calling Ethan, Abaddon? Do you mean your brother Elijah?"

Jay immediately stopped walking. He looked at Ethan with puffed up cheeks. All of a sudden a 'pfft' broke the silence.

Jay: "Bahahahhaha!! Elijah?! That shit sounds gay as fuck!! Hahaha!"

(AN: No hate to Elijahs. I only said that shit because it kind of fits Jay's personality.)

The corner of Akira's mouth twitched. She stared at Jay with a murderous glare before saying: "Abaddon! Be nice to your brother and apologize now!"

Jay immediately zipped it the moment he felt the heavy aura released by his mother. "Was mom always this strong?!" He thought.

He nodded and immediately apologized. Ethan who had a somber expression smirked smugly before gazing at him with eyes filled with contempt.

Jay sucked his teeth before walking away with an expression of irritation.

After all was settled, Jay started training his lightning affinity. Of course he gave his attention to his other affinities as well but he mostly focused on his lightning one.

Time flew by and an entire year had already passed. Jay sat at the bottom of the mountain with several deep,dark yellow colored arcs of lightning circling his entire body.

His eyes suddenly sprang open and the arcs of lightning began to take form! Within a few moments it took the form of a giant dragon! Jay continued to play around with it while trying his hardest to strengthen it as well.

Helix: [Congratulations sir you've created a new skill! Do you wish to name it?]

Jay: "Oh? Right, I have another skill to name as well! I'll call this one Dragon's Cry and the other one that I completely forgot about Shadow Bind!"

Helix: [Understood sir! You have named two skills! ||Dragon's Cry|| LVL 1 and ||Shadow Bind|| LVL 1!]

Jay: "Let's goooooooooo!!"

Like this, Jay began training his new skill ||Dragon's Cry|| everyday for an entire year! He used ||Enhanced Vision|| to see the faults in the technique and correct it instantly!

The destructive power that skill now had was terrifying! It could decimate a small hill and put a small hole in a giant mountain!

Training that lightning based skill was the best choice Jay had ever made.

He gained more obvious improvements from training his control in such an intricate way than just training without any template!

Under a giant and ancient looking tree, Jay breathed out a mouthful of foul energy before getting up and heading towards a nearby river to wash up.

With the help of Helix, Jay found some minty herbs and made toothpaste with it. He chewed it up for 10 minutes before washing it out of his mouth.

Although he was an animal he still had good hygiene. He shared it with his bros and parents as well.

Jay then took his bros to the forest after talking it through with his parents. It was finally time!

Jay and his bros found a safe location and stopped there to 'train'.

Jay: "Alright! Elijah, come up here first!"

Although not being able to speak they can understand every word of Jay's clearly.

Ethan came up to the now 2 metre tall lion who had a full and majestic jet-black mane! Jay placed his paw on top of Ethan's head before closing his eyes.

Jay: "Helix, if anything goes wrong take over okay?"

Helix: [Understood sir!]

Jay took a deep breath in before channeling his lightning affinity at the centre of his paw.

Zap!

Ethan: "ROARR!!"

Jay: "Endure it!!"

Alex and Josie looked at their brother who was suffering from extreme pain with extreme concern.

They didn't expect their 'training' to be anything like this! However, what happened next shocked them!

Ethan's aura that was at the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm suddenly rose to the Core-Forming Realm! They no longer felt scared nor hesitant; they only had anticipation in their hearts!

Even Jay was shocked. But he gave a big smile soon after. This way it was easier to convince the other brothers!

Ethan rolled around on the ground for five minutes before coming to an abrupt stop. He got up while groggily shaking his head.

He opened his eyes only to see a massive black lion with ruby red irises and slit like pupils gazing at him.

Ethan: "AHHHHHHH!! MONSTER!!!"

Jay: "Who the hell are you calling a monster you damn racist bastard!"

Jay jokingly scolded while giving Ethan a fierce glare. However, Ethan recognized that kind of talking instantly!

With a shaky voice Ethan asked: "J-Jay? Is that really you?!"

The other three lions didn't even hear his question; they were just shocked beyond belief! Did Elijah just speak?!

Jay: "Yep!! We reincarnated so there's the answer to your other question. Oh and we're not humans so don't ask me anything else!"

Ethan glanced at himself and then at his surroundings before pinching his furry skin. Feeling the pain his body trembled!

Ethan: "Hahahhaha! My sweet brother Jay! We've been given a second chance for our good deeds!!!"

Jay: "Yeah no shit! Now step aside, I still need to bring back Alex and Josie!"

Ethan's excited expression turned serious as he recalled the pain he felt. He then nodded and stepped to the side.

Jay: "Well, 'Omar', come up!"

Alex immediately stepped up and glanced at Jay before nodding heavily! Placing his paw on his head Jay closed his eyes again.

Zap!

Alex: "GAHHH!! ROARRR!!!!!"

A deafening roar rang out as Alex's eyes turned bloodshot. He kneeled towards the ground while groaning in immense pain.

His aura rose and finally stopped at the 1st rank of the Core-Forming Realm!

The pain finally vanished. He opened his eyes only to have the same reaction as Ethan.

After Ethan told Alex about the situation and calmed him down, they both bombarded Jay with questions asking him how he did that.

Jay just ignored them and finally moved onto Josie.

Josie's situation occurred exactly like the others and he also broke through to the Core-Forming Realm!

Alex: "So you're saying we're magic beasts?!"

Jay: "Precisely. Hold up!! Ya'll wanna see a cool trick?"

They all nodded heavily! Jay lifted his paw and immediately, crackling noises rang out.

The boys all felt an upcoming danger as they glanced at Jay's glowing paw.

Suddenly, arcs of lightning kicked up and instantly formed a giant lightning dragon!

Jay: "||Dragon's Cry||!!!"

Vwoom!

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Jay sent his paw smashing down and the giant dragon immediately flew out piercing through the sky!

It collided against a small mountain instantly blowing it to smithereens!!

Alex, Ethan and Josie: "WHAT THE FU-"

TO BE CONTINUED!!
