I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World… - Chapter 78 - Raid Pt. 2

Only two of Logan’s new soldiers were wounded, while the rest were battered.

Luckily, no one died, thanks to Kai’s earth magic, which disrupted the landscape and neutralized the opposing side’s powerful spells.

The demons in front of him appeared more experienced than the two he had dealt with before.

The tallest demon, standing in the center, was likely the one casting barriers, while the others focused on ranged magic.

The soldiers were also trying to create barriers of their own, but Logan could see which side was better suited for battle.

He took off his shield that was as small as a button and began infusing mana into it while waiting for orders.

Not being a combatant, Logan, like the others, turned to Biron, who was busy thinking and giving instructions.

His mentor was the only one doing her own thing, casting dark spells to create a haze that obscured the battlefield, giving their side a few moments of respite.

Logan did not waste even a second.

He also took out his traps; it was a good thing he and his mentor had not been idle these past few days.

During the long trip, he learned and practice even more not letting a day pass without being taught new tactics.

As a result, his aim with his bombs became more precise.

Logan tossed a few smoke bombs to keep the effect active while readying his other spells.

It took only a few moments to absorb mana from a crystal before he began ordering his beasts.

Luna stepped forward to help, turning the snow around them into ice and making it hard to walk.

Scorch waited patiently for a chance to create an inferno.

Within a minute, the barriers formed by the weakened soldiers gave out.

It was time to act, and everyone received an order.

Logan was to stay back this time as soldiers, his mentor, and Biron set up spells to release as soon as vision was restored.

Chloe and Kai were ready to create earth barriers at the sight of a deadly spell, while Rubina was setting up various fire magic and began charging her mana into them.

Her flaming bird was also present in the sky, waiting for the chance to burn anyone.

As soon as the barriers failed, wind magic was unleashed, and spells flew in every direction.

Logan expanded his shield to its maximum size, trying to protect himself and those around him.

Ice spikes and stone lances were hurled their way.

Other, more dangerous spells were reflected by his shield, causing some to return like a mirror.

It was a nifty effect, but it cost Logan quite a bit of mana.

His side returned fire as soon as they saw a chance.

More stone pillars were created on each side, but with three fire users, they were quickly blasted away.

Scorch caused most of the damage, while Rubina’s arrows tore through the stone barriers blasting them like bombs.

Wind blades tossed by Zephyr made the fire hit the demons’ barrier with two great slashes of wind mixed with fire.

It was a perfect combination of elements that tore through the protection array like glass.

Yells rang from both sides as Valeria tossed in bombs and traps while using bolts on a crossbow imbued with mana to snipe the exposed demons.

Logan tossed in more bombs but encountered trouble when an arrow pierced his arm, causing a nasty wound that tore through his skin.

The injury was quickly healed by the slime, which wrapped itself around the wound to keep it closed while it healed the cut.

“Don’t stop, keep firing,” Logan heard Biron command as he threw large ice spikes through the air, two of them landing on a single demon, piercing it in the chest and leg.

Chloe and Kai helped Silis create barrier after barrier to protect the team while pulling the injured from the field.

“Logan, we need to do something. They have more people than us; we are losing,” Rubina called out from behind.

“I know, but what…” Logan thought as he witnessed one of the carriages catch on fire.

Luckily, the civilians ran to the back.

“Get on your ride, Logan. We need to clamp them,” Valeria whispered, mounting her panther and quickly running to the side.

Logan passed Rubina the shield so she could keep those behind her covered and rushed to jump on Scorch.

With powerful legs, Scorch leaped to the side and then ran forward to get into a good position.

Logan tossed more smoke bombs to keep his position hidden and regular explosive bombs to cause chaos in the field.

Suddenly, he jumped into the closest one, his raptor pulling him by the arm to drag the demon away.

Logan tossed a few dark arrows at the surrounding demons to keep them focused on his position.

From the opposite end, he heard a similar cry, likely his mentor doing the same.

His other monsters were busy using their own skills, and he heard a few pings, signaling they had also managed to get some kills.

Soon the battle calmed.

The smoke cleared with a gust from the three birds.

The group of twenty-something strong demons was reduced to a third of its size, most of them mana-spent, making Logan wary.

Those who remained did not look like they wanted to back down.

Logan returned to Rubina, who needed Kai and Chloe to help maintain the large shield.

“What now?” Kai said, breathing roughly.

“A final all-out attack. They seem to be trying to do the same. Look!” Chloe called out.

Logan took a peek and saw one of the demons holding up a stone.

It was a mutation crystal like the ones they had witnessed before.

This time, it was being used to empower the wielder.

“Looks like we have no choice,” Logan said, feeling like he was about to faint from all the movement and mana exhaustion.

He let Scorch move by himself this time and threw out all his bombs at once, setting their reaction time to a few seconds.

Logan heard grunts and yells after they activated.

And yet the boy couldn’t kill the empowered beings, but it seemed not all the demons used the stones to transform.
