The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 54

I activated Stealth and followed the direction of the sound. As I thought, the sound and these trails lead to the same direction. But knowing that those apes were in a hurry, I assumed that it would take more time for me to catch up. Is something preventing them from going any further?

To be honest, the only possible explanation why those apes were hindered was if they were ganged up by waves upon waves of ants. After all, if they fought those ants in this place head on, those apes would be fighting an almost endless sea of ants. And even if they had that Gigarillon leading their army, given their numbers alone, those ants would still overwhelm them in the end.

It really all comes down to quantity. Because no matter how powerful those apes are, they still have a mortal body in the end. And naturally, that body has its own physical limitations, so once they've reached that limit, even some inferior ant could actually kill them.

If so, I had no business joining that fray. In fact, I would rather choose to find a different path than risk being ganged up by thousands upon thousands of ants. Especially since my skills were more compatible in ambushes rather than a frontal confrontation.

While the sound of battle was becoming much clearer, the scent of fresh blood was also getting thicker and stronger. And of course, all of that only meant one thing. I'm close.

Noticing that, I proceeded with much more caution. But it was then that a chill ran down through my spine.

?!!

Confused by that sudden feeling, I stopped. Then as if on cue, the earth began to tremble. What the—?! I thought while looking around.

At first, the earthquake wasn't that strong. But as seconds passed, its intensity increased to the point that I began to have a hard time standing still. And to make matters worse, I also noticed an overwhelming presence rising up from underground.

Crap, what the heck is that?!

A moment after that, there was a deafening explosion up ahead accompanied by a thunderous screech. And upon looking up, I saw a gigantic ant monster flying in the air.

[Name: (Unnamed)

Race: Anties Queen

Level: 51

Status: Healthy]

Is that the ruler of these ants?! I internally exclaimed. Are you kidding me?! Those apes are seriously planning on killing that?!

In my personal opinion, that thing far outmatched those apes. Because not only was it big, that gigantic ant could also somehow fly! And as far as I know, even that Gigarillon couldn't even do that. In fact, even if that ant didn't have that ability, I still think that the Gigarillon would lose if they fought one on one. Seriously, how crazy and desperate are those apes to try and fight that thing. Or maybe... they simply had no idea?

While I was there standing still and doing my best to keep myself hidden from that gigantic ant, a loud sound of rumbling suddenly echoed in every direction. Huh? Looking around, I also began to hear the screech of multiple ants. And from what I could tell, it didn't only come from one or two. In fact, I'm quite certain that the sound was a result of at least hundreds if not thousands of ants screeching their hearts out.

O-oy, are you serious?!!

Far into the distance, I saw the silhouette of waves upon waves of ants marching towards their Queen. And the worst thing was, that immeasurable number had me surrounded on the back. In short, the only clear path was upfront to where that gigantic ant was.
