Once everyone settled around the large table, Logan scanned the room. The setup was designed to accommodate all the heroes present and the individuals he deemed vital to the discussion. Among them were Rubina and her father, Lady Elera, Leonard—his trusted assistant—Emary, who had been left behind but was steadily growing stronger, and several of his commanders, including Wohan, his Wark Chief, and Krexa, who had finally regained her ability to speak normally.
Logan counted 23 out of the 29 heroes present, excluding himself. The weight of their losses was evident in the numbers.
The first to speak was Ms. Claire, her tone laced with concern. She asked for an account of what had transpired, explaining her absence due to tending to Alma. Alma was still struggling with the aftereffects of her revival, her body heavily injured both in soul and flesh. Though she was expected to recover within a month, the lingering damage from that ordeal was clear.
Victor answered, his voice sharp with frustration and disdain. "We tried to save them, but we were clearly too late. As always, they were far too cocky to wait for us. George is dead, and Jonathan has been taken. While there's a chance he's alive, it's safer to assume he's already gone, considering their plans. As for Brian, he's been taken back to Elris. We believe he'll recover, but his actions during the battle were reckless and detrimental to their forces. He'll stand trial and face punishment if found guilty."
Victor's words carried a bitter edge, reflecting his knowledge of the battlefield chaos and the failures of the three. The room hung heavy with silence, the enormity of their losses sinking in as the group reflected on the cost of the fight.
The generals might choose to obscure the truth, aiming to avoid placing the entire group of heroes in a precarious position—especially when the consequences stemmed from the reckless actions of just three individuals.
"Are you telling me they'll put him in jail?!" Ms. Claire exclaimed, clutching her head as if warding off an impending headache. Guilt was etched across her face. Not being there when Alma had been killed already weighed heavily on her, and now the apparent loss of George and Jonathan seemed to compound her feelings of helplessness.
"Don't worry, I doubt it will come to that," Owen interjected in a calming tone. "I meant they'll likely put a leash on him, probably by using the Fire Spirit's power to keep him in check."
"Ms. Claire," Logan began firmly, addressing the room, "we need to understand the scope of what happened here. In the Pearl Isles, we faced only one demon general. Meanwhile, Elris was assaulted by two demons, including that lunatic, Zaryx. This underscores the need for us to prepare more thoroughly and exercise greater caution when entering combat next time."
Logan's gaze shifted to the tanks and fighters in his group, his mind already working to strategize their roles for the battles ahead.

Ren the Samurai, his sister Yui, and Jin the Monk were now designated as the group's primary fighters. Their pivotal roles demanded vigilant protection to ensure their effectiveness on the battlefield.
As for the tanks, Chris the Paladin, Charlotte the Knight, and Alberto the Berserker were prioritized for specialized equipment to fully embrace their defensive roles. While Ren, Charlotte, and Alberto could function as both offensive and defensive assets, establishing a proper, well-balanced team structure was now of utmost importance.
Logan began outlining his strategy to the others. Unlike the previous meeting from months prior, his words were met with gravity and focus. The losses they had suffered and the looming threats ahead had instilled a renewed seriousness in everyone present.
"I believe you're right, Logan," Owen said with a serious expression, his thoughts shifting from the easy battles of the past to the harsh reality they now faced. "We need to stop playing games. It's no longer as simple as before—we have to start working together to get stronger. Balanced parties are essential. Each team needs to understand the strengths and weaknesses of its members. Relying on leveling alone won't be enough to keep us alive anymore."
Logan considered suggesting he tame the heroes, ensuring their alignment with his trusted creatures. But he ultimately held his tongue—he didn't want people he didn't know or care for within his tamed ranks. Trust needed to be earned, just as his current tamed creatures had proven themselves. The girls nearby noticed his hesitation and wisely chose not to bring up the idea. However, some of the class members seemed ready to say something, their unease evident.
"So make your teams," Logan said firmly. "For now, train in the labyrinth. I hear you've only reached the 68th floor. Those who need it should work with my creatures—they'll help you push through to the higher floors. But understand this: if any of my creatures are hurt or killed, there will be consequences. I won't let it slide easily."
Logan knew the group's levels ranged from 65 to 79, a reflection of how much each individual had invested in training and the impact of their respective classes. Among them, Xander—the cook—was the lowest-leveled, but his value was compensated by the wealth and crystals he received weekly. Recognizing the importance of Xander's contributions, Logan had even instructed the manager of resources to allocate additional crystals for him each week. Logan understood that Xander's culinary skills would prove invaluable in the future, especially as their battles grew more demanding.
Logan already had his own methods for leveling up and growing stronger, but his immediate priority was different. He wanted Xander to prepare the best food possible for Lisa, Rubina, Silvia, and Alma, who needed the extra support in their recovery and growth.
As he considered his future goals, Logan's thoughts turned to the monsters he still needed to tame and how he could speed up the process of acquiring them. His focus shifted back to the group. "I'm sure you all realize that the quests will only grow more difficult once you reach level 80. We need to start relying on each other to complete them," Logan suggested, his tone steady but firm, knowing his own personal quest would soon take him across the kingdom.
"Yes, I'd appreciate that," Darin, the Geomancer, chimed in. "I actually had to wait an entire month to finish my level 40 quest. I spent all that time collecting seeds to create a powerful hybrid plant for battle."
"That's a great point," Owen agreed. "I think we should all start helping each other to speed things up. We need to be more open and work together." As an example, he openly revealed his level—78—and began explaining his skills in detail.
Encouraged by his gesture, the rest of the group gradually followed suit. Marie took the initiative to use her terminal, meticulously documenting everyone's levels, skills, and useful information. For the first time, the group worked collaboratively, pooling their knowledge to prepare for the challenges ahead.
However, one girl in the group stood out. She smiled slyly, seemingly withholding most of the information about herself while observing the others. When she glanced at Logan, she found him glaring at her pointedly a few times before continuing with the discussion, making it clear he had noticed her behavior.
