The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 48

Ah... Finally, it's done... I sighed while dragging away the last of the ant working outside of the nest.

It's been truly a lot of work. After all, I needed to attack those creatures and make sure that I wasn't detected. Luckily, it's times like those that my new skill Stealth came into play. Though I still needed to avoid being spotted since Stealth only hid my presence and mask my odor but didn't make my body invisible. Because of that, I always made a point to attack the isolated ones and annihilated them instantly so that they wouldn't be able to call for a backup. Then, at the very end of it, I launched a surprise attack to those that were left and killed them all before they could even react.

Well, it will not hurt to be a little bit cautious. I thought while looking at the small single nest.

Of course, even though the ants that were working outside the nest were gone, there were probably still some ants left inside that nest. That was the reason why I decided to drag away the bodies of the ants I have killed in order to avoid tipping off the left-over ants inside the nest by accident. And well, the bodies of the dead ants could also be used to recover some of the stamina that I had lost. Though fortunately, I hadn't received any physical damage so I was still technically at peak condition.

For now, I had piled up the ants' carcasses a little distance away from the nest just to be sure. Okay, here we go. With that, I threw the last of the ant carcass that I had personally killed, and from what I knew, there were at least thirty-two ant carcasses piled up in here. Time to eat!!

Naturally, I couldn't afford to use Devour on all of that. After all, I had no idea how many more ants were left inside that nest. And if it just so happened that there were only less than five remaining inside, then my plan to finally start my evolution would be completely ruined and I would have to postpone it once again. Obviously, I wouldn't want that, so I only ate about ten of the ant's carcasses.

This is enough for now.

After I was done replenishing my stamina, I once again activated stealth and began walking towards the nest. And while moving as cautious as I could possibly be, I entered the little ant's nest.

Mostly because there weren't any shiny crystals inside the nest, the whole interior part was covered in darkness. But thanks to my Night Vision skill, I had no problem navigating inside that dark nest. Though for some reason, it seemed like the maximum range of my vision had still decreased even though my skill had already reached Rank S.

Well, there's still clearly a limit to it, but at very least there is some clear improvement.

While thinking things like that, I was thoroughly scanning my surroundings in order to lessen the possibility of being caught in a surprise attack. Hmm... Detect Life really came in handy in times like this.

Honestly though, it seemed to me that my skill set was slowly leaning towards the assassin or scout type skills. I mean, there was the obvious Stealth. Then, I also had a lot of Detection type skills on top of my senses enhancing skills. And let's also not forget about Accelerate that could technically be used as both a way to escape and to perform a swift and fast ambush.

Though I guess considering that I am a part of the wolf species, then that should not be surprising. But man, I also like to experience using magic like my father wolf and that other alpha...

In the midst of all of that, my Detect Life caught the presence of three ants in the nearby room probably at the very center of the nest. But just to make sure, I didn't move directly towards that room and I instead checked every single nook and cranny of the small nest first. And once I was confident that there weren't any other ants inside the nest, I proceeded towards the room at the center where I detected the presence of the three living ants.
