I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 108: Zaryx the Unyielding

Standing at two and a half meters with an imposing presence, Zaryx stretched his muscular, well-built body.

His human-like form allowed him to sit on a large rock with ease for countless hours while half-naked.

Blue skin covered in numerous scars and a broken left horn proved his experience on the battlefield.

The large demon stared at a particular area with his piercing icy blue pupils.

The one responsible for assessing the heroes, Zaryx had divided his group into three parts as the newly summoned heroes scattered to various areas within the small Elris Kingdom.

"Zaryx, we have finished gauging the strength of the heroes. We lost a total of 83 of our own during the process, but with every death, we got an approximate reading on who is the strongest and weakest within the group," said a blue demon, relaying his findings to one of the 9 main commanders of the army.

Out of those, the heroes he needed to keep an eye on were a boy in the northern part of the Elris Kingdom and the group that traveled into the Labyrinth in Dracone Ridge.

The boy in the empire would have been the most ideal for their current project, but he was quickly taken away before they even had a chance to kidnap him.

"It’s within a permissible number, Gomer. What will be your next step?" Zaryx said while looking down at a group of rangers who had crossed the northern mountains, following breadcrumbs he had placed to lure them into his trap.

"We will keep trying to work with the boy and have him as a spy. We have slowly lured him in with a succubus, so it shouldn’t be hard to break him later and have him give us information about the others. Until then, we will start putting pressure on the heroes so that they lose hope and face, and hopefully give us enough time to take over the southern isles," Gomir replied while watching his commander laugh with joy as screams and cries echoed in the mountain ridge below them.

"Good, very good. Leave the north to me, then. I need to send back word a month from now, so make sure you take at least half of the isles by then," Zaryx commanded.

He tossed a small l rock with precision, killing off the last ranger who had used his companions to escape.

The rest were being devoured by two hungry apelike creatures, who tore the bodies apart as if they were twigs.

"Yes, Commander Zaryx, I will return before the month with good news. My own son will be handling the operation this time," Gomir said, taking one last glance at his superior who looked bored and sighed.

He knew it was only a matter of time before Zaryx would play his part and begin taking over the weak Elris Kingdom using the same tactics he had used on the rangers.

Zaryx took a look back at the old demon who still showed signs of greed for his title.

The man had been one of his teachers, so surpassing him made the petty weakling covet his position even more.

Gomir knew his strength was fading, so he was pushing his son to take the leading role while the old fox would be the one giving the orders.

Zaryx planned ahead, though.

He already had two strategies to deal with the geezer: either bring his son to his side and have him betray his father, or give both of them victories, letting them reach the peak only to kick the duo off.

He imagined both scenarios and, of course, chose the second one.

After all, having to kill two is better than one.

Now the real question was how long he would have to wait for the taming hero to get strong enough to be a worthy opponent.

He had his spies check on him from time to time.

The taming hero was one of the interesting ones within the bunch of kids—not only because of his rapidly growing strength with each new creature but also because of his connection with Ferra, who had thwarted their plan.

"Regar!" Zaryx called out.

"Good, you were not far. How about this time you take two hundred kids with you, have them break a few of the tamer hero’s new walls. I want to spook him a little, maybe then he will get serious in training," Zaryx finished, taking out a few blue mutation stones from his storage.

"I just filled these to the brim. Have the five most powerful ones use them right away; I am tired of losing them," he ordered, throwing them to the one behind him.

"As you wish, Commander. We hope to appease you with this."

As soon as the other warped away, Zaryx shivered a little.

Regar was probably the only one in his army of thousands who creeped him out.

It had no soul, created to follow orders without question, with a power to rival the spirits but at the cost of its life, mind, and soul.

It was a husk with astounding power and a ticking bomb.

"Now then, how will the hero respond? But more importantly, what do I do now…" Zaryx began to pick up his new toys.

As he got closer, the two apelike creatures stood at attention, and the rangers were collected based on how many body parts they had left.

"Let’s see, 23… plus the one that ran away, 24. Good," Zaryx began picking up limbs and creating a monster with each one, before putting a core in each newly created body.

"What a mess, to only have 13 completed bodies. I hope they scare our new friend," he said, casting his own unique magic that began giving a semblance of life to each mutation.

Each limb began to connect with its main body, and each body writhed in pain.

As soon as it finished, the newly created monsters began to look for something to eat to sustain themselves.

The apes tossed bodies of creatures they had been ordered to keep stored, and the mutations ate with hunger.

The gruesome scene only made Zaryx laugh as he readied himself to go to a certain fort in the north.

As he called out, countless grotesque bodies emerged from all around him.

The only three normal ones around him were Zaryx and his two apes.
