I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 119: Beyond Taming
Feeling like they had a chance now, Logan called the golems to take down the wall and began walking with Scorch and his tamed beings who could put up a fight.
Terra and Silis had hidden themselves underground again to avoid the large golem, who had gotten up and was angry from being attacked.
The large golem clapped his powerful hands together as if ready for a serious fight.
Scorch did not like the display of insolence towards his master and roared loud enough to overshadow the loud clanks.
While taller, the golem was still slower, unable to keep up with Scorch who charged forward and used his weight to strengthen his claws, which glowed red.
As they tore into the golem, parts of its body began to melt. Even its heat-resistant body wasn’t enough to keep it safe.
Scorch then jumped back to avoid one of the golem’s arms.
[Silis, Terra, restrain its movement. We can’t have Scorch be hurt,] Logan communicated, realizing he had forgotten to give orders during the battle of the titans.
The golem, trying to move forward, found its legs covered in stone, preventing it from moving.
Meanwhile, Scorch, who had dodged another swing, used his tail as a blade to slice the golem’s hand off.
With three large creatures, the battle became one-sided.
The large magma golem tried to create another arm with earth as Scorch cut one of its legs.
The golem stumbled forward as magma dropped from one of its legs, hardening fast enough to keep it from falling.
Scorch used the little time it was given to reheat its tail to sear off the other leg.
Silis, knowing the battle needed to end fast as Scorch’s mana was quickly depleting with each blow, surfaced and also joined in, bashing the golem with its hard scales.
Both reptilians hit the golem in turns to keep it from regenerating, waiting for the right moment to use their final strike.
Logan looked at those fighting, his anxiety rising. Enjoy new chapters from novelbuddy
He still had a bit of hope in taming the golem, who would be a great asset, but he felt a nudge beside him.
"It’s better that you give up, Logan. Not all beasts are meant to be tamed. This one in particular can be dangerous if we leave it alone. I am sure this lava shouldn’t have been exposed, meaning the golem was digging out the volcano, which could provoke an eruption," Valeria said, patting his back as she saw the desperation on the boy’s face.
"...It’s just that it seemed lonely, as if it felt abandoned by its master. I sensed a kind of sorrow in its voice, a longing..." Logan replied, seeing how his two beasts were readying for one final strike.
Logan could only watch as Silis finally made the golem fall, causing Scorch to slice off its head.
The golem, who could no longer remain together, began to separate into parts.
The light in its eyes, which glowed red, faded, leaving a silence in the room.
"I guess… that is that…" Kai said, interrupting everyone, including Logan, who felt bad for the lonely golem’s end.
"Yes… that is all," Logan said, turning to the other golems who stood still, emotionless as if nothing had happened to one of their kind.
Logan sighed, deciding to ignore the feelings that were tormenting him for now.
He was busy thinking about the quest he was given so that he could continue leveling.
The boy needed to decide which of the six would advance to their primordial evolution.
With fire used, he needed one for each of the other elements.
They also needed to be creatures that would accept the change—he doubted someone like Lisa or Serana would want to.
For now, everyone was told to gather crystals.
He needed just enough to replenish his stock.
It took less time than expected after disassembling the giant golem, who not only had crystals but also precious metals that Logan thought Ruben, the smith, would need to craft better items for him and his men.
"Well then, I guess we are done here… everyone, let’s go back. As for the golems, you guys stay here and watch over the mine," Logan commanded the group.
He wanted to take the golems, but they were far too slow and heavy to take outside the mine and get back before nightfall.
Everyone readied themselves to go back as Logan had Terra the Eater make a new tunnel wide enough for everyone to go outside.
As for Logan and Valeria, they went back into the abandoned laboratory to find Serana, who had yet to appear.
[Serana, are you still here?] Logan called out using his skill.
[I am… I am busy reading in one of the rooms. I might need to stay here, Logan. I found a few books that I need to decipher… it might give me answers…] he heard her say.
[Alright, join us when you’re done then. We will be going back for today,] Logan said, relaying the information to Valeria, who wondered why Logan had paused.
"Well then, let’s just meet up with Rubina and the rest of the beasts before we go back," Valeria said, nodding with understanding.
The team of two and various monsters continued on, passing the skeleton-filled rooms until they were back at the entrance.
Rubina was petting Zephyr and Uriel while standing near a campfire.
"Good news, Rubina. We won’t have to camp out tonight," Logan said with a smile.
Rubina returned the smile to the boy who had come out and noticed a strange gelatinous figure behind him.

"Is that Kryst?" Rubina asked, pointing to the slime.
"Well, yes. It seems to have gotten its fill of crystals and leveled up enough to sustain this new form."
"Hi Ru..bin..a," everyone heard the slime say as it waved its hand.
"Well, that is new. Hey there, Kryst. Sorry for not recognizing you…" Rubina said, staring at the slime in amazement who had said her name.
