The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 23

In front of me, a Banobo was removing the bounds of a monster that looked like an armadillo. Upon using Assess on it, I discovered that it was a monster that was called a [Glydon]. From the looks of it, this [Glydon] was the opponent I would be fighting for this match.

So, it's true. I am the only wolf type monster here. I thought while waiting for the Banobo to completely remove my bounds.

Honestly, I still couldn't believe that these ape type monsters had this kind of culture. Yes, it might still be primitive and barbaric, but it was still a clear culture, nonetheless. Looking at these monsters, I couldn't help but be reminded of prehistoric humans. And if my memory was right, there was a knowledge in my old world that apes were a close relative of humans. So, I guess it kind of made sense that these monsters have this level of intelligence? Well, I also noticed that monsters that live in packs tend to have some kind of culture and it was also mostly accompanied by some sort of high-level intelligence. Besides, I also saw that same trait from those monster bees, so maybe, it has something to do with creatures who were socially dependent just like humans.

I really need to meet this monsters' leader to determine whether it is a reincarnation or not.

As of now, it was clear that these ape monsters' leader wasn't anywhere near this place, because if that monster was here, it would be impossible to not notice its presence. After all, given how strong those Banobos were, it would be impossible to make them obey if the leader was a mediocre monster. Though to be honest, I was kind of hoping that these ape monsters' leader wasn't as powerful as that Cerberus and Swamp Drake because I still wasn't prepared to fight a monster as powerful as that.

Well, I might end up meeting their leader if I survive long enough. So, let's stop worrying about that for now.

A few moments later, the Banobos were finally ready to release us. Then as the two Banobos were getting ready to remove our final bind, the spectating apes once again erupted in cheers.

Finally, the last bind was released, and the two Banobos leaped out of the ring which heralded the beginning of the match.

Just like before, the guards at the edge of the ring prepared themselves to stop us from destroying the ring to escape. Of course, I didn't intend to do that in the first place since I already know that doing so would simply be pointless and a waste of energy. But as surprising as it was, it seemed like the Glydon also understood that fact. Because instead of charging towards the edge of the ring, the Glydon was simply looking at me cautiously while clearly preparing itself for the fight.

Interesting. I thought feeling impressed.

Seeing our behavior, the Banobos that were guarding the ring were clearly bewildered. Well, I guess their reaction was quite normal considering the fact that every match before this always began with them fending off the monsters inside the ring.

Good for you guys. I commented internally.

While I was thinking things like that, the Glydon suddenly retreated on its shell turning itself into a ball. A split second after that, bullet size spikes jutted out from its formerly smooth surfaced shell. Then, that ball of spikes spun around with such a speed as if it was being powered by a motor.

A screeching sound reverberated as the ball of spikes rolled towards me. Probably because of those spikes and the speed of its rotation, the Glydon was flinging away clumps of dirt on its back.

I hastily activated Haste and dodge the ball of spikes by a hair's breadth. But as if I was somehow marked by the ball of spikes; it instantly made a sharp turn following me from behind. Honestly, the ball of spikes was fast. It was actually to the point that even with haste, the ball of spikes still managed to keep up with me. Fortunately, the ball of spikes' speed was only the same as mine so it still wasn't able to catch up.
