Shocked by the animal they just met, but suddenly he decides to attack Perya with a strong headbutt causing her to be thrown away, everyone is amazed to see that he had managed to throw her away, she says that no one was to interfere that she would try to talk to him to try to calm him down, however, he continues to go for her without listening to what she was saying, dodging her blows she decides to take a blow to see if he would walk away and leave but, instead he starts glowing red and when the glow ends his body was red and his mane was on fire, Perya is surprised to see that the lion had absorbed some of her power, she then shoots a blast of fire at him. his direction which she manages to block with some effort, he then starts to stare at Serena and then his body starts to glow blue and his mane turns into big flippers around his neck with blue fur, and then he starts giving him several high-speed water shots, she manages to dodge it and then realizes she will have no choice but to attack him.

After seeing that he was not an ordinary animal, Perya decides to shoot several shots at him who blocked them with his water attacks, Serene and the others are wondering what kind of creature that was, she then starts trying to remember if she had already seen this type of creature in one of the Olceos books, but she doesn't remember anything and it's at this moment when the lion takes Asami's abilities getting purple skin and a black mist like mane that she realizes that the lion animal she was facing was the legendary elemental lion, she says that she had read about him in the Solaria archives and that in it was saying that just before the Dragons disappeared, they had created a spirit that would help someone who would be very important to the story of Draconia.

Before he can finish a fire bird flies towards them and shoots several blasts of fire at the two, however, this causes the forest to start on fire which starts a big fire in the forest, several animals start to run in fear of the fire. , Perya tells the lion to stop fighting in order to save the forest, he nods his head waits and waits for Perya to tell him what he has to do, she asks Asami to create a five kilometer radius shield to prevent for the fire to spread, for Tera and Haku she asks them and the lion to help the animals and protect them so they don't get hurt, for Serena she asks her to try to create as much water as she can to put out the fire in one part of the forest, meanwhile she goes to another part of the forest and uses her fire manipulation to draw all the fire into her and then condense it into a small sphere of fire.

After saving the Perya forest, Haku and the lion use their healing skills to the fullest to heal the animals and reforest the forest but the bird returns and everyone thinks it was for a revenge however he goes to the lion and merges with it. him as if the two were the same being, Perya understands that and says that this was just a test to see if she was who the Gods had said he should help, everyone is surprised and he nods confirming what she had said, she then asks if he would be willing to follow her on her journey and he replies with a snarl of joy, she says he would need a name instead of just calling him lion, after some thought she decides to call him from Kratos, The Elemental Lion, he nods and then Perya smiles as she has just gotten one more friend on her journey.
