I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 205: Cleanup Pt. 1

Logan tensed up. So far, meeting demons was mostly done around his beasts. This time, though, he would have to rely only on Rubina and Lisa. Kai would not be useful in the sky as he needed earth around him to really shine.

Zephyr and Orus, on the other hand, were flying-based beasts, meaning they would struggle with the forest-filled terrain where they would no doubt find the demons.

Logan thought about what to do and decided to just confront them. He would gauge their strength after seeing them.

"You heard him, everyone. We will take different positions to avoid revealing our numbers. Zephyr and I will take to the air and hopefully check if they are enemies we need to deal with. If so, I will need you to make a few distractions so they can't pinpoint our location." Logan then went up. Kai kept on the ground, ready to manipulate the ground around him to cause a disaster, while Lisa and Rubina both went in opposite directions.

Everyone was ready to listen to Logan's instructions while making sure to stay out of sight and within Logan's mental link range.

Logan was just above where Zephyr had spotted the demons. There were at least a hundred of them, each making groups of twenty. Those with the toughest build carried stones just like the one he had destroyed, the one that was withering the forest.

"Bingo, I have spotted the cause of the forest dying. At least a hundred of them, maybe even more, and all of them ready to cause more problems," Logan sent out a link while looking at the path the demons were taking all the way into the distance using Zephyr's magical vision, which let him see a large mountain range free of any towns.

"It seems they are getting wise with their plans, trying to take out areas that won't bring them fights. The numbers they are coming with must be to stay stealthy while they set up those death-bringing stones. They are black instead of blue, though," Logan informed.

"Just give us the order, sir. I am ready anytime," Kai responded.

"Logan, please be careful when you fight them. I will take them by surprise from the rear. Just tell me how far I have to go to not be seen," Lisa asked.

"Hmm… from where you are, go back about half a kilometer. That is where they start to dwindle. Please do activate your invisibility crystal if you're planning on getting close," Logan warned while waiting for a response from Rubina.

"I… will start a good flashy forest fire to keep them from coming to this side. Focus on the right side as Kai will probably stop their advance from the front," Rubina waited for his input.

"Sure, good. Just give me a countdown before you start. I am ready anytime. Also, Rubina, be careful," Logan sent out.

"3… 2… 1…"

As soon as the last word was spoken, a thundering boom echoed. Logan even felt the blazing storm that the girl had unleashed from where he was standing. A large flaming cloud was released right where the demons stood, giving them only the chance to run and drop whatever they held.

Logan used this chance to cast his refined darkness bolts, each laced with venom of both darkness and fire from his two arachnids, his scorpion Sting and Regis. He could only conjure up a total of twenty with pinpoint accuracy, and with Zephyr helping to guide them with his wind, he made sure that it counted.

Just as soon as he released them, he noticed things did not go as planned. The crystals around the demons began sucking in the energy he had released. While some arrows did manage to kill a few demons, they weren't powerful enough to avoid the mana draining properties that drained all the magic he produced.

The only thing that kept the demons from retaliating was the flames that roared from one side.

Logan caused more flames from his side to hopefully burn them while yelling to the others, "Everyone relax, don't fight yet! Those damn mana crystals are going to drain our mana dry. Lisa, just relax. Kai, instead of walls, make various spears and launch them. Those will be our only hope… Rubina, just keep bringing those flames. This forest will at least work in our favor," Logan yelled to each member.

"Zephyr, keep feeding the flames. I will get off here so you can concentrate." Logan manifested his wings and got down, creating water magic to protect him from the flames. He was going toward where most of the demons would be running. The only good part was that with the flames causing a chaotic mess, they left the crystals behind.

Logan readied himself with his whip, using Holy Nova as he did with the Crystal Serpent. He also set traps, having only to throw them using wind magic to spread them out through the forest.

Flailing his whip a few times, he tried to designate the trees as something he could heal, making it pass through them without harming the poor plants.

It wasn't long before the demons ran to him and in their fright most did not see him.

Logan scrunched his face a little. He was still not used to killing, but he now knew it was necessary, unlike the past. He was not only capable now but willing, as he now had things to protect—a girl or girls, a city, and a kingdom.

He clenched his teeth tight before rushing forward. He was going to make each one of them pay.

Extending his whip to its maximum size, he began flailing it around, cutting each demon into parts. The harsh light magic did not forgive those that Logan deemed enemies; it was like plasma, not only cutting but also searing each demon with its radiant power.

Those who survived fell back after feeling the power of the whip, while those that were still frenzied rushed forward without care.
