I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 107: Voltaris Mantis
As the egg shook a little more, a small clank could be heard.
Logan did not hear this at first, but soon he stared at the ovular object, which shook a little more.
He noticed the stones were beginning to become just normal crystals as their energy had been drained.
Before Logan could place more, he saw how the egg split in half.
What looked like a scythe cut through the egg, causing Logan to jump back from the violent action.
Unlike before, when eggs would normally open up slowly, this one seemed way too lively.
The creature inside sliced through its shell again, and Logan finally saw what it was.
He counted four legs and two scythes, along with an electrical current being produced by its wings.
"Uhoh, Rubina won’t like this," Logan said to himself, wondering how he was going to tell the girl who hated bugs.
The small creature looked at him strangely, its small red eyes fixed on him, making Logan remember he had yet to tame it.
He quickly readied himself, not having readied a blade, and nipped at one of his fingers.
"Oh no you don’t!" Logan rushed forth as the small creature stumbled, trying to fly away.
It was the first time he had so much difficulty taming a beast. Insects and spiders like Regal were already half-grown from birth, making them ready to move as soon as they got out of their eggs.
The little creature’s small wings buzzed with electricity, making it harder to get near it.
[Scorch, don’t let it get away!] he communicated as the little bug escaped his grasp. It had already flown a few meters away, causing Logan to hold on to Scorch to keep up with the critter.
"Don’t hurt it, we just need to catch up to it!" Logan ordered as he readied his blood to use as soon as he got close to the mantis.
[Almost there, Scorch. I will have to use your back to jump, forgive me, bud.] Logan raised himself and got ready to hop to catch the mantis. He dodged a few low branches and readied himself, using Zephyr’s wind skill to direct his body as he found a chance.
"This is going to hurt…" Logan mumbled as his hand grazed the small creature’s back before he had to use wind magic to stop his fall.
Luckily, he stopped himself with Storm Shield as he shook his hand, which was numb from the electrical field that surrounded the small insect.
The creature, as soon as it felt Logan’s blood trying to create a link, stopped as if mentally struggling with the decision of remaining free or accepting the pact.
Logan, being near level 40, helped the process become smoother. It only took a few seconds for the creature to accept the soul bind and begin looking at its new master as if waiting for an order.
Unlike the friendly Regal, who instantly bombarded Logan with questions, this new monster kept to himself, as if he was a soldier waiting for an order.
"A ruthless killer, huh? How about we train you while Krexa gets strong? Too bad there is no one that can boost you with a crystal," Logan told himself as he thought about the problem. It was rare to find someone who could natively handle electrical magic, or at least Logan hadn’t seen anyone.
"It’s going to be the old-fashioned way, huh? Well, good thing spring brings more prey for you."
Logan then hurried back to the camp and placed everything he could in storage in a hurry. He had grown to like training new monsters and watching their quick leveling pace as well as the evolution that followed.
The young ten-centimeter mantis was sure to be a menace. Since it was specially brought by Ferra, it could not have been just a regular creature—or so Logan guessed.
This was proved correct as the young beast took on various animals, from horned rabbits to small hogs, without much difficulty. It mainly relied on the electrical field created by its fast-beating wings.
As soon as it got close, it would use the electrical field to stun or disorient its prey, making it easy to slice with its sharp scythes.
It wasn’t long before it evolved. Like his other creatures born from eggs, it would change into its adult form at around level 5.
The small creature had grown just a little bigger than Regal, who was 60 centimeters. This one seemed to be nearing 70 centimeters; it was above Logan’s knee. Explore stories on novelbuddy

Electro Field: Voltar can emit a powerful electric charge from its wings, stunning nearby enemies and causing paralysis for a short duration.
Lightning Reflexes: This skill allows Voltar to temporarily increase its speed and reflexes by channeling electrical energy through its body. This boost can be used to evade attacks or quickly close the distance to its prey.
Static Cloak: Voltar can generate a field of static electricity around its body, creating a protective barrier that reduces incoming damage. This field can also make Voltar harder to detect by cloaking its presence from sensors and certain magical detection methods.

With his new green friend who could fly to keep up with them, Logan went to find Silis, who would no doubt be finished training Krexa.
It wouldn’t be hard to find them now that his Empathic Link skill range had increased. After reaching level thirty, this skill’s range was no longer 2 meters per level, but 10, showing how much potential it would have in the future.
Logan could now try communicating with his creatures from more than 100 meters away.
Unlike before, when he had to individually talk to each creature, the skill now worked for all his nearby creatures, making it easy to coordinate them in battle without revealing their tactics.
[We are here, master Logan!] Krexa returned his call as Logan felt the direction of where they were. Silis returned within seconds, carrying the goblin who looked completely different from the short, almost one-meter female goblin.
Her cute charm had disappeared as she now looked like a ten to twelve-year-old girl.
Logan quickly checked her stats and noticed she was now a Hobgoblin and had interesting abilities, yet he had to leave thinking about this for later.
[My… cute clothes, they have torn, Master!] Logan saw her weep as her arms tried to cover her chest and bottom while she sobbed.
Logan quickly took out what he thought would fit her, but this made Krexa cry out even louder.
[I hate bear fur!] she mentally screamed as she placed the coat over herself to cover her important parts.
