The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 45

The whole pathway was crumbling down, but because our only way back was now completely blocked by rocks, we had no other choice but to run to the opposite direction. Fortunately, I knew for sure that the Gigarillon wouldn't leave us here without any purpose. And given the fact that those monsters went out of their way to bring us here, then there was no way that those monsters wanted us to be simply buried here alive. Most likely, there was another exit forward, and that was where the ape type monsters wanted us to be. In short, this path should lead us somewhere else. Though being that this was definitely a part of that Gigarillon's plan, then I could easily guess what was beyond this path.

Damn it!! I cursed while desperately running forward.

Fortunately, my skill Accelerate came in handy in certain times like this. Because of that, I could easily dodge all the falling rocks without compromising my speed. Though obviously, this fact wasn't the same for the other monsters so some of them had already been crushed to death. In such a situation, it had become painfully obvious that the more agile monsters were the ones who had the highest chance of survival. Well, except for a few exceptions...

Curious as to what had happened to the power type monsters behind, I momentarily looked back. But upon seeing what the Savaga was doing, I couldn't help but be shocked.

What the heck?!

Just a little farther behind, the Savaga was leading the charge of the power type monsters. But in contrast to the speed type monsters like us, the Savaga and the other strength type monsters weren't dodging the falling rocks. Instead, they were bulldozing through those rocks without slowing down. Though of course, that action didn't leave the monsters unscathed. In fact, the monsters' wounds continuously piled up and the majority of them fell one by one.

Naturally, even my fellow speed type monsters suffered some casualties. Mostly, the monsters that were crushed were those that weren't fast or agile enough to dodge without slowing down. And because those monsters weren't as sturdy and tough as the power type monsters, just a single hit from those rocks was enough to inflict a fatal wound on them. As a result, even if the monsters didn't immediately die, the injury that they had received was still enough to render them unable to move and continue. Which of course, the same as death in this particular scenario.

Seriously, I never thought that my experience of being forced to fight would come in handy like this!!

While internally screaming at the irony of the situation, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a small dim light at the very far end of the crumbling tunnel. Obviously, immediately upon seeing that, I instantly came into conclusion that the light was actually the exit of this place.

Finally!! I internally screamed.

Following that, I desperately pushed myself forward without looking back. And honestly, probably as a result of my desperation, it even came to the point that I was tempted to activate the second effect of Accelerate. Fortunately, I managed to hold back my desire and avoid using that self-destructing effect. Until finally, I successfully escaped that crumbling tunnel along with the rest of the surviving monsters.

To be perfectly honest, we just barely escaped from that crumbling tunnel. In fact, at the same exact moment that the last of the power type monsters got out, the exit of the tunnel came crumbling down. As a result, the ground we were standing shook from the impact and the deafening sound of the explosion filled my ears. Though to be fair, that explosion actually caused another problem.

Yep. Here we go again. I thought while cautiously scanning my surroundings.

Directly in front of us, there was a vast barren land filled with towering hills of dirt. The problem was, atop those towering hills that were nearby the tunnel that we just escaped in, there were numerous swarms of ants looking down at us. And unfortunately, it seemed like those swarms of ants weren't here to give us a warm welcome. Instead, based from their gazes and scent, I could clearly tell that they wanted to kill and rip us apart.
