I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 115: Mana Cavern Guardians

Logan went back to hide after Valeria finished setting various bombs around the door’s edges. As soon as she was ready, she went and hid next to Logan, making sure that all their beasts were in safety before pulling the magic string.

A loud explosion rang throughout the tunnel, enough to make a few rocks and dirt fall from the ceiling. As for the door, only one part had been damaged enough to fall.

The other door was no better off than the first in terms of looks.

It took Logan a few kicks to make it fall off, revealing a room where crystals shone.

Based on their energy, Logan knew it was not as pure as the previous cave; its crystals were smaller, but there were plenty. At least the entrance showed a good find.

"Before you proceed, let’s gather Kai and Chloe. Have them stop what they are doing and come," Valeria called out. Logan took out his communication device and began talking to Chloe and Kai, who immediately answered.

[Leave what you’re doing and come to the first entrance. I will have Regal bring you here,] Logan communicated, as he then began to call most his creatures to gather to his location.

All except the largest, who were to stand outside until needed.

While they waited, they began to enter the crystal cavern, carefully looking around for traps or whatever the Eartheater worm feared in the cavern.

The walls were all decorated with shiny, pointed crystals, each one of a light blue or pink hue.

Kryst, who had been tucked inside Logan’s shirt, suddenly exited, excited to be home, or what she thought was her home.

She looked around, feeling each crystal.

The slime extended its tendrils to taste a mana-filled gem near her.

She then swallowed one whole, pulling it from the wall with great force.

Both Logan and Valeria were stunned, seeing the action and how the crystal within the gelatinous form was being devoured.

"Well, that is new…" Logan said, observing what was happening within the transparent body of the slime.

"I guess it approves. Let’s keep going and leave her here to do whatever she is doing for now," Valeria said as they headed inside, following stairs made out of concrete that at times were pierced by the crystals.

The cave seemed to be alive as the crystals grew like weeds, slowly reclaiming what the previous invaders had done to the cave.

"We will need to pull out some crystals to go further inside."

Logan took out a few bags from his space to show his mentor, who nodded and began trying to pull some crystals that intersected around each other, as if making a gate that kept them from advancing.

While working on that, he heard the voice of his tamed asking for orders outside. Scorch stood in wait, as he was too big to enter without them properly taking out the crystals next to the entrance.

"Good to see you here. I will need help to start removing the crystals so we can advance," Logan told both Chloe and Kai, who were going to be useful with their earth magic.

"No problem, Digger seems ready as well. Just hand us the storage devices," Chloe replied. Logan did as asked and continued with the work.

Soon, most of the crystals in the entrance were removed, and they guided them to a spiral staircase that led them down deeper into the cave.

Being crystal-infested, they could not walk much without first clearing them.

After half an hour of struggling to remove most of the mana-filled gems, they reached the bottom where the cave opened. It was no longer a two-meter opening like the entrance but a large, endless expanse that made Logan’s mouth water.

The only problem was four golems that stood still, or at least those were the ones that Logan could see.

"We need to be careful. They don’t seem to be moving, but something tells me that if we go further, they will start attacking…" Valeria said while hiding with the others behind crystals.

"Do you think I could tame them…?" Logan asked while looking at the three-meter-high golems with bodies made of both rock and crystal. They stood on two feet and had large, club-like arms.

"I don’t think we can check that out without first fighting them, and with four of them here we will need to think of a good plan. But I don’t think those are the ones we need to fear. I don’t think your worm would hide from a golem of that size…" Valeria whispered while trying to see if there was something else here that might have spooked the large Eartheater.

"Well, I think this is the perfect place to have Noctur show his prowess. Have the ferret go in to see their reaction to movement within the cave; maybe we will see who Grav is," Valeria suggested.

[You heard her, Noctur, it’s your turn to shine. Try to gauge their abilities; we need to see what we are working with.]

As soon as Logan commanded, his stealthy creature entered swiftly, mixing digging through the ground and hiding behind crystals. As soon as it got to the first golem, this one moved a little as if waking up.

Noctur then used magic to produce rocks to toss and create a small diversion. The golem moved after that to find the cause of the noise.

Its movements made the other three golems turn to face their companion.

"Well, they aren’t too fast…" Logan said to those who were observing around him.

"I don’t see another golem though. I wonder who your creature was talking about," Chloe added while using earth magic to create barriers in case they needed them to hide.

Noctur, who had made commotions away from the group, began to route the golems further inside the cave.

This allowed the team to enter further in and adjust their formation to begin fighting. The more they walked, the wider the cave became. The four golems that followed Noctur did not seem to hear them so far and continued inside.

The large cave seemed to continue until they spotted a glowing red area. This area seemed different in size, but just by looking at it, they knew it was magma.

"Damn it, this isn’t a normal mountain but a volcano. We need to be even more careful."

As soon as Noctur got to a certain distance, they finally saw what looked like a fifth golem in the distance, half its body within the magma channel that passed through the volcano, as if taking a bath in it.

"Do you see that?" Logan pointed, so the rest could understand what he was talking about.

"Wow, that is probably Gav. It’s no ordinary golem. I fear it might even have a fire blessing, which will make it even harder to fight…"
