I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 124: Twilight Siege

It was in the middle of the night when Logan was awakened by the sound of horns.

At first, he did not know the reason, but soon he was up and in action.

The sound wasn’t one he thought he would ever hear, and it was not a welcomed one either.

It was the alarm of an attack, a sound only heard a few times when Valeria told them they should practice.

Logan quickly got up, waking up all his nearby beasts.

He also informed Uriel, who should be with Rubina, as well as Saber, who should be with Valeria.

[Rubina is up,] he heard from the former.

[Master Valeria is aware,] he heard from the latter.

As for the other tames, all but Serana and the four golems answered, being too far to reach his mental link.

[Zephyr, what do you see?] Logan asked, knowing his bird would already be in the air checking on the situation.

[Many demons, they are attacking a wall, soldiers are fighting back!] he heard from Zephyr.

[Silis, Scorch, go help, I will be out soon. Regal, Voltar, wait for me to enter the fight. We need to know if they are only attacking one section of the wall.]

[Zephyr, keep me updated. If there are more, tell me so I can send help!]

Logan quickly put on his armor and a helmet he had never used before.

The others entered his room, trying to find out what the problem was.

"Chloe, Kai, get your armor! We are being attacked by demons! Ruri, go tell Valeria to suit up so she doesn’t waste any time and get the staff and servants to hide in the basement. Rubina, keep Uriel with you, and go into town with a few nearby soldiers. Make sure the townspeople are aware of the situation and away from the walls!" Logan finally put on the last piece of his suit, one that Ruben had crafted for him—a light chainmail that would hopefully keep him safe this day.

"Ruben, Marie, I won’t order you, but please follow Rubina. If possible, help her with the townspeople. They will probably be in the safest place. I will have a few of my beasts join you to keep you safe." Logan then called up War, Noctur, and Solar, who would be useful to carry, inspect, and light the way for Rubina and the two heroes.

"No problem, Logan, we will do as you say. I feel we will be safe," Ruben said, while asking his girlfriend to go with Ruri.

She didn’t want to at first, but after a kiss, she accepted with hesitation.

"Alright, let’s go. We don’t have time. My bird has informed me there is more than we might be able to handle."

Logan finished all his preparations and headed out into the fields.

This time, Riptide would be his mount, as he needed his strongest monsters fighting.

"Riptide, I am sorry for not asking you earlier, but we are in need of power. How about you take this gem and grow strong enough to help us in this time of need?" Logan held out one of the two remaining gems to the large bear.

He did not plan to give him the small crystal, as he hoped Luna would change her mind.

But this was no time to wait—they needed all the strength they could gather, and a bear was not an opponent anyone would take lightly.

Riptide opened his mouth without a word and growled so strongly that everyone around them looked in their direction.

Within a few minutes, his new appearance finished forming.

He went from being a large, almost three-meter bear to a three-meter bear on all fours, and when he stood on two legs, he rose to about five meters.

Within his chest, there was a gem like in all his other beasts.

Silis had it in her head, Scorch on his back, Regal in her abdomen, Voltar on the backside of its thorax connecting to his upper two wings.

As for Zephyr, it was in the back of his neck.

With another roar, he let Logan know he was ready and used a paw to help him climb its back and taking a quick glance at his monsters new stats.

Name: Riptide / Species: New* Glacial Titan Bear / Level: 40 / Blood Mark: Left Heel / Loyalty: 43/100]

Str: 44 / Agi: 41 / Dex: 38 / Con: 45 / Int: 39 / Char: 34

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Tidal Surge: Riptide summons a powerful wave that sweeps through the battlefield, knocking enemies off their feet and dealing water damage. The wave can also extinguish fires and clear away obstacles.

Aqua Burst: Riptide creates concentrated water orbs that it can launch at enemies. These orbs explode on impact, drenching enemies and causing water damage. The soaked enemies become more vulnerable to ice attacks.

Aqua Shield: Riptide produces orbs of water that float around him and shield him as soon as they sense a nearby attack.

Tundra Roar: By channeling its icy power, Riptide releases a mighty roar that causes the ground to frost over, creating patches of slippery ice. Enemies caught in the area may lose balance and fall, giving Riptide and its allies an advantage in battle.

New* Glacial Armor: Riptide can fortify its body with an extra layer of ice armor, increasing its defense and resistance to physical attacks. The armor can also absorb a portion of incoming damage and reflect it back at attackers.

New* Hydro Cannon: Riptide channels its water energy into a concentrated blast, firing a high-pressure jet of water at enemies. The force of the blast can knock enemies back and deal significant water damage.

New* Frostfall: Riptide unleashes a flurry of sharp ice shards that rain down on enemies in a targeted area, causing severe ice damage and potentially freezing them in place.

[Everyone else, get ready to fight! We may not need your help now, but soon things may change!] Logan communicated as he readied himself to charge into battle.

[Master, more demons, south. I will guide you!] Zephyr called from above, letting those who could fight gather at the southern wall.

Soldiers and adventurers who took up arms to fight and protect the city began to mobilize.

Riptide, who was faster than before, rushed to the wall.

Logan thought he was going to break it down, but then the large beast caused a jet of water to form under him and raise him into the air.

"You should have warned me!" Logan quickly gripped tight to its neck as Kryst created tendrils to tie both of them around the bear.

As soon as they were about to land, Riptide created more water but this time made it turn into ice.

Luna copied the bear’s actions as she was right behind them.

Within sight, they spotted at least a group of forty caped individuals.

They were taken by surprise as Zephyr used Hurricane Call, creating a shockwave that overpowered the group.

Some tried resisting with barriers, while others quickly recovered.

They were swiftly met with Cyclone Vortex, which created a few tornados, lifting a few off the ground.

Riptide on the other hand was busy channeling water around them to start using his skills.

It was not hard, as they were near the river that passed through a section of the wall.

Logan had assessed that the demons wanted to use this waterway to enter the town.

As soon as enough water was near them, he created a few orbs that circled around him.

They were part of his Aqua Shield skill that would activate when the bear sensed danger.

As for the water before him, he let it become a thin but powerful wave with practiced precision—a skill called Tidal Smash that he learned before his current evolution.

Logan knew that it was a good time to use a certain skill now that there was water all around him, and he recalled Voltar’s best skills.

He jumped off the beast with the help of Luna, who was quickly adjusting to create pillars of ice to help him land safely.

He began using Electro Web while taking two daggers out of his storage device.

For his next move, he needed to charge them and also began casting Thunder Strike, a skill that needed a little bit of time but would be deadly in this battle.

The demons, who were being pushed back before they even attempted to enter the town through the river’s passageway, began to cast various magics.

They targeted the large bear, the great eagle who kept blowing them away while cutting some in half with ease, and the boy who had used a skill that kept them in place while causing them electrical damage over time.

Some of the demons were able to escape the invisible but deadly electrical webs by teleporting, but others who were inexperienced weren’t so lucky.

Logan finished casting the skill into his daggers and slashed them forth in the shape of an X.

The demons in the path were both severely burnt and stunned, some of them losing their lives as the water caused the electrical arcs to go around any magical barriers and defensive equipment they had.

Logan did not have time to cast another spell as he was met with a few deadly counterattacks, luckily evaded with the help of Luna who focused on defense.

The few that did manage to hit were instantly healed by Kryst, who had been given small crystals to keep her in top shape.

Logan returned fire with ice spikes, using the water around him to try to pierce those that were made into statues with Riptide’s new magic, Frostfall, which made the water from his wave attack freeze and disrupt those who were trying to cast.

It was then that the demons decided the battle was not in their favor.

They took out the mutation stones they had and began using its chaotic power to empower themselves.

Logan, who knew what they were trying to do, gulped in fear.

He remembered how strong they would become and tried to end the battle before it happened.

Luckily, the group of demons was reduced by half, so he would at least not have to struggle as much.
