The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 25

Maybe a few days had already passed since I was captured. And now, the number of captured monsters had drastically decreased. Though I guess that should be normal considering the fact that we were forced to fight every single day. The only silver lining here was that the ape type monsters never forgot to give us food after surviving a match. Well, you could also say that they were also benefiting here because of the entertainment(?) we were providing for them. But for me, I highly doubt that entertainment was their only goal. For now, I still had no idea why, but surely, there was a catch.

Anyway, on the second day of that match, the fights became more intense since the match has turned into a battle between two monsters of different species. From the looks of it, the first day was just the elimination round. Probably, these Banobos always forced two monsters of the same species to fight in the first match in order to make the most of that species' potential. Though, for me, I fought another Glydon on the second day. But since I already fought one, it has become much easier to defeat it.

Well, it wasn't as if I didn't get anything from all that fighting. After all, because of that, I had now reached level 24. And if I keep this up, maybe I will be able to evolve before I meet the leader of these ape type monsters.

For now, though, the Hackclaw from before was fighting the bison type monster called Winset. And yes, surprisingly, the Hackclaw managed to survive this long and it was in fact doing great. But unlike the Hackclaw I defeated before, there was something different about this one. Yes, sure. This monster was certainly a lot stronger than the one I fought before. In particular, I noticed that the monster instinct seemed to be a lot sharper now. Honestly, I didn't know how or why, but from what I could tell, this change began after the monster killed its own kind. And then, as the monster continued to fight, it was becoming much more savage and crueler. It was as if something possessed the monster. Seriously, I was even starting to feel some pity for the monster that the Hackclaw was fighting now.

Inside the ring, the Winset was desperately fighting the Hackclaw. But to be perfectly honest, it seemed to me that the Hackclaw was just playing around with the Winset. And even though it was honestly a bad match up, the Hackclaw was still certainly over doing it.

Dude. Just kill the poor thing already. I complained internally.

At the center of the ring, the bloodied Winset was standing still while gazing furiously at the Hackclaw who wasn't even taking a battle stance. Basically, the Hackclaw was saying that the Winset wasn't even worth being cautious about.

Finally looking like it had run out of patience, the Winset pointed its huge horn forward and charged straight into the Hackclaw. But as if mocking the efforts of the Winset, the Hackclaw easily avoided that attack while simultaneously hacking away at the Winset's flesh.

Following where the slash has come from, the Winset immediately turned its head to the side, probably hoping to catch the Hackclaw by surprise. Unfortunately, the Hackclaw has already retreated a few distances away before the Winset had even noticed.

Actually, this scene had already repeated itself for a couple of times now. And every single time, it played out in the same exact way. The Winset would charge towards the Hackclaw. The Hackclaw would dodge with elegance, proceed to slash the Winset's flesh, and then without even trying to inflict a fatal wound, it would retreat. That process repeated itself over and over again, and as a result, the Winset was now a walking pile of bloody mess.

Of course, you could say that the Winset's fighting style was just dumb. But if you asked me, the Winset's charge attack wasn't a push over either. After all, that charge attack was fast and precise. In fact, that charge attack was so fast I could probably compare it to the speed of the Glydon that I defeated. And that wasn't all. Because for some unknown reason, the Winset was also somehow capable of completely ignoring all of its momentum and just completely stopping its charge if it needed to. Unfortunately, even with all of that ability and power at its disposal, the Hackclaw still managed to outmatch the Winset in battle.
