The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 31

After the ant-type monsters were completely annihilated, the ape type monsters didn't waste any time to once again subdue and capture me along with the Savaga and the Hackclaw. Normally, I should be able to at least fight back and use my wit to escape especially since my bounds had been completely removed. But because of the fatigue after fighting back against those swarms of ants, I surmised that resisting would simply be a waste of energy. And when I looked around, it seemed like the Savaga and the Hackclaw were also completely exhausted just like me and that was why we were easily captured once again by the ape type monsters.

While two Banobos and a couple of Lesser Banobos were making sure that we wouldn't be able to escape, the rest of the ape type monsters were being led by the Tronobo to completely demolish the former nest of the ant-type monsters. And probably also by the order of the Tronobo, a single squad of ape type ran and disappeared inside the passageway near the nest. Most likely, that squad was tasked with the job of disposing of the remnants and strays who had managed to escape during the attack.

Judging by the actions of the ape type monsters so far, it was clear to me that these monsters were simply defending their turf against those ant-type monsters. Furthermore, I also had a feeling that those ant-type monsters were an invasive species that originally didn't belong in this area. The proof of that was the surrounding area of their nest which had completely turned into a barren land, unlike the rest of its surroundings. Of course, it was also possible that the area wherein the ants had built their nest was already like this from the very beginning. But given the unusual way in which the barren land had formed surrounded by the greenery of the jungle, the possibility of this being the result of the invasion of the ants was seriously high.

Of course, even if that was really the case, I wouldn't suddenly become sympathetic to these monsters and join their cause. After all, I saw no merit in helping them and it wasn't as if I would be particularly bothered if this area was completely turned into a barren land. Besides, these monsters were technically forcing me to fight for them, and they also had no qualms about using me as bait and a sacrificial pawn. Worst of all, I also had this feeling that this wouldn't be the last time that these monsters would do something like this. Most likely, as long as we (the three monster prisoners) were still breathing, these ape type monsters would surely continue using us as the sacrificial pawns. And beyond all of that, there was also the problem of the ruler of these ape type monsters.

Fortunately, probably as a result of fighting those swarms of ants, I actually gained two levels effectively making me a level 26 monster. With this, I only needed to level up four more times, and I would reach the Third Evolutionary State of my species. Which meant that I would essentially become an alpha class monster and would probably be as strong if not stronger than my late father. Though one thing to note was that I had a feeling that this Tronobo was about as strong as an alpha class wolf from where I came from. And if that was really the case, then that just put into perspective how strong the ruler of these ape type monsters was. In short; the leader of these monsters is in the Fourth Evolutionary State or maybe even higher.

Of course, if we were only talking about insanely powerful monsters, I had no doubt that the Drake and the Cerberus was currently at the number one spot. But after seeing them up-close, I had a feeling that evolving into the Fourth Evolutionary State wouldn't be enough to reach that level of power. Most likely, those monsters were at a level higher than that or maybe even beyond that. Though because of all that fact, the best possible scenario would be if the ruler of these monsters was only in the Fourth Evolutionary State.

Well, it will be in my advantage if the monster turns out to be an ally. Though that is too much of a wishful thinking so it will be for the best if I don't hold on to that.
