The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 62

While doing our best to conceal our presence, the ape who was carrying me moved from tree to tree with such nimble movements that it was hard to believe that he was in fact injured. Seriously, how tough is this guy? I couldn't help but ask.

Fortunately, it seemed like our pursuers didn't expect us to travel from above trees so they didn't even bother looking up. But man, what the heck is that Lightning Wolf doing here anyway? From what I can remember, this area isn't a part of his territory... I wondered while looking down.

According to my memories, it seemed like there was an unwritten agreement between the alphas to remain inside their territory. Of course, I didn't know the full details of it, but if my guess was right, the agreement was done in order to minimize the confrontation between the four alphas. After all, when two or more alphas clashed, their powers would inevitably cause some damage to their surroundings, and the forest wasn't an exemption into that. Furthermore, it was not only unfair but also devastating for the hunting groups of other packs if they met an enemy alpha during a hunt. That, I could testify in person.

It might have something to do with the reason why the Tempest Wolf launched a full-blown assault that time.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any reason for the Tempest Wolf to leave his territory and launch an all-out war. And even though it was true that our pack and the Tempest Wolf's were hostile against one another, I still couldn't see the logical reason as to why the Tempest Wolf had done such drastic action at that time. Because in truth, when I set aside those emotions and gazed at it from an objective standpoint, a plan that involved leaving his territory unprotected in order to set an ambush was full of holes and risk. The most obvious one was, of course, the risk of letting his territory be attacked while he was gone fighting in a war.

From what I have seen so far, every single alpha class monster that I encountered in this place has a high degree of intelligence and self-awareness. With that in mind, I glanced at the Gigarillon who now seemed to be searching for something. Of course, that includes the apes' subordinates; the Tronobo and Pronobo. So, given all of that, the Tempest Wolf at that time should also be aware of all that risk.

In the midst of trying to figure out the intentions and motives behind the Tempest Wolf's action in the past, the Gigarillon who was carrying me like a bag decided to jump down. And upon making a swift and silent landing on the ground, the ape moved deeper into the woods until we reached some ruins hidden behind some tall grass and trees.

This is... With my eyes open wide, I stared at the ruins while feeling a wide array of emotions from deep inside my heart. And probably because I was being taken over by those powerful sentiments, all the memories and thoughts that were hidden within my soul had begun to surface once again.

... So, all of them are really dead, huh...?

Before I even knew it, I just found myself howling out in anguish without holding back. "RAAAAAAAHHHH!!" Fueled by those emotions, I twist my body around in an attempt to escape from the grasp of the ape. Then with bloodshot eyes, I even tried to bite the monster's arm when it refused to let me go. But before I could sink my fangs, I felt a jolt of pain on my head and everything turned black.

"What a disaster." A voice said in an exasperated tone.

Hearing that, I tried to locate the source only to find myself trapped in a never-ending void. More than that, it also seemed like I had no form in this sea of nothingness. And though it might sound unbelievable and absurd from a third person's perspective, I really somehow managed to exist on that plane with nothing but my consciousness alone. It was; in a lack of better words, strange... So strange in fact that I even had a hard time believing it myself...
