I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…

Chapter 247 - 247: Electric Plains Pt.3

Logan was pleased with his two new beasts. The most exciting part was the possibility that, if Silvia figured out how to recharge electrical crystals with each lightning strike, it could become an excellent method to train both the beasts and Voltar.

However, Logan couldn't help but regret one thing—he didn't have enough maximum mana to elevate one of the two beasts to monarch status. He was reserving that privilege for the thunderbirds, who would benefit far more.

"That's a nice taming method. I guess we should start looking for those mantises next, then…" Raul said, pondering where to lead the group.

They were already close to mantis territory, but the elusive creatures rarely showed themselves unless it was just before an attack. If they were lucky, they might spot one—but Raul was hoping for a whole group to please the hero.

"Could your mantis, you know, lure the others? They're tough creatures to track if you're actively looking for them," Raul asked, wondering if there was a way to speed things up before nightfall, when predators would become even more aggressive.

[You heard him, Voltar. Do you have any idea where your kin might be?] Logan asked the creature, who was scanning the area as if taking in every detail.

[Best hunting spot. Need high ground to see,] Voltar replied, pointing with his scythe to a small hill in the distance. The only problem was that there weren't any lightning towers nearby.

[You'll have to go alone, then. I trust your strength. We'll head off to

Raul pointed toward the horizon, where a large silhouette hovered in the sky. Lightning illuminated its form intermittently, revealing a creature so entwined with the storm that at times it appeared to be the one producing it.

"I hope you can tame at least one. It's going to be tough without your best creature—I just hope you can back up your words and handle the battle," Raul said hesitantly. Marco stayed silent, neither of them daring to step out into the open.

Logan, however, knew that hesitation wouldn't get him what he had come for. He retrieved his new whip, ensuring his gear was ready before stepping forward into view of the large bird circling in the sky. Logan made no effort to hide; in fact, he deliberately made himself visible as he infused his whip with a blend of light and darkness elements.

He had learned from past experience that using light alone risked cutting the birds in half. The addition of darkness tempered the energy, allowing the whip to bash and deal damage without severely harming the creature.

To draw attention to himself, Logan conjured fireballs that shot into the sky, their glow creating an unmistakable beacon. He began shouting names as the large bird above took notice.
