The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 46

For an instant, I froze on my spot upon seeing those notifications popped up. Oh...

Then in order to make sure that I wasn't just seeing things, I focused my eyes on it and read those notifications over and over again. And when the realization that I wasn't seeing things finally hit me, I felt the boiling heat of excitement welling up inside my chest.

YES!!! I finally made it!!! I celebrated inside. But while I was bathing in joy of finally reaching the heights that any normal wolf wouldn't ever reach in their lifetime, I was then interrupted by a sudden attack from an ant type monster. Fortunately, I still managed to sense that attack on the last possible second prompting me to dodge it only by a hair's breadth.

Pissed by that uninvited interruption, I bit the ant type monster on its hind part as it passed through. Then, using the full force of my body, I threw the ant type monster towards its companions who were also preparing to launch themselves forward. As a result, the group of ant type monsters toppled over by the impact. And probably because their sharp protruding fangs were pointed forward, the ant type monster that I threw died in an instant after being pierced by his very own kind.

Yikes. Using that as the diversion, I activated Stealth and sneaked away from that spot. And with all that finally out of the way, I once again glanced at the notification still displayed on my vision.

Looking at the notification upfront, I could feel my mouth curving into a smile. Though because of how dangerous this place was, I obviously couldn't afford to be hasty in my decisions. Especially because I knew from experience that evolution itself could be dangerous if I didn't prepare myself for it. And since this evolution in particular would put me in the same level as the alpha class monsters, then I couldn't possibly leave it in a gamble just like what I did on the ones before. That was why after staring at it for a while, I ultimately chose no for an answer.

While maintaining my stealth and sneaking through the battlefield, I couldn't help but remember what had happened on my last evolution. That was a really close call. If I didn't have that excess food lying about that time, I might have gone into a mindless rampage in search of food...

Truth to be told, just thinking about what might have happened if I had gone into a mindless rampage at that place sent shivers down my spine. After all, it was there in that very same area where I met that three-headed monstrosity; the Cerberus. And to be brutally honest, if I had gone on a rampage right there, there was a huge chance that I would happen upon that monster.

Yep. There is no way I can beat that thing even with this much improvement and progress. So, that time, if I had fought that monster in a contest for food, I would most definitely die. I concluded.

Luckily, for this area in particular, I had yet to see nor feel the presence of any overwhelmingly powerful monster such as the Cerberus or the Swamp Drake. But as usual, I couldn't be much too sure. Because even though all the ant type monsters in this battlefield so far were all the familiar ones that I had fought during those raids, this place was still undoubtedly their territory. And given that it looked like the ant type monsters had absolute control over this area, then it would be safe to say that there was a monster ruling above all these ants much like that Gigarillon for the ape type monsters. The problem was...

The sheer number of the ant type monsters living in this place far surpassed the number of the ape type monsters living in that jungle type area. Furthermore, these guys are also somehow completely dominating this area, so I cannot afford to be optimistic and think that their ruler is only at the same level as the Gigarillon... Ugh!! Seriously, what the heck is that Gigarillon even thinking?!

Of course, I just had no idea whether the Gigarillon was simply incapable of realizing this or if they actually had an intel that the ruler of these monsters wasn't that strong. Despite that, it was still insane that they were actually going to invade this den of ants. And it wasn't as if the Gigarillon was completely unaware of their numbers either. After all, based on their behavior before, it was clear to see that they had planned this attack, so they should have at least an idea about the numbers of the ants living here. In fact, being that they sent us here, it was only obvious that those monsters were going to use the commotion that we would make in order to somehow divide the ant type monsters' forces.
