I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 253: Next Step

Logan finally secured the second beast he had been aiming for. Now, his next destinations were the Verdant Lands and the Red Iron Republic. There, he would need to collect the great ents and fire hydra. With those in hand, it would be time to join the great war and enter the empire, where the earth dragon awaited—the final piece to conclude his mission.

Logan had fed his new thunderbird as many crystals as he could, boosting its level beyond 40 and triggering its first evolution. The bird now looked even more formidable—its body had grown by two meters, and its head bore a newly defined crown, lending it an air of elegance. The sheer power it radiated made Logan's hair stand on end.

Pleased with his new companion, Logan shifted his attention to the next task: reaching the Verdant Lands. He planned to travel alongside Silvia to accelerate the journey, drawing confidence from the speed with which they had previously arrived at the Kingdom of Eta. With both birds at their command, their southward flight would take them directly to the Temple of Earth—the dwelling place of the great ents, revered for their extraordinary ability to enhance crop production.

Before setting off, Logan pulled out his communication device to contact Leonard. Though they intended to stop by the Duke's estate before leaving, Logan wanted to confirm everything was running smoothly in his kingdom and gather the intel necessary for the next step of his quest.

Unlike the kingdoms, the Verdant Lands were governed by various tribes, with no central authority to unify them. This made it risky to simply fly over the region, as an encounter with a tribe unaware of their alliance could quickly escalate into conflict.

"Glad to hear you finally secured your second great beast, Logan," Leonard said over the communication device. "Things are stable here for now, but we need you to hurry—the war has spread to the Red Iron Republic. We're still within range to join the fight. Some of the heroes who had been staying in our country went to support the soldiers battling the demons. None of the girls left this time, but I suggest you speak with them. They're preparing to assist the heroes if the need arises."

Leonard's update startled Logan; he hadn't known about the demons' advance. The news added a layer of urgency to his plans, potentially jeopardizing his efforts to obtain the fire hydra.

"As for the Verdant Lands, I suggest you rely on your flying mounts to reach your destination. Poykut is home to the grand ents, and I've already spoken with Chief Leader Isabel—she has granted her consent for your visit," Leonard advised, providing additional guidance before ending the communication.

Logan contemplated his next steps. He decided to use Wyver himself, while Emary would command the thunderbird, Stormwing, and Silvia would take charge of Zephyr. His goal was to raise the two new beasts to level 60, triggering their next evolution before heading to the Red Iron Republic. There, Wyver's formidable ice abilities would play a critical role in subduing the fire hydra, while the two birds provided support to help bring it down for Logan to tame.

After mulling over the plan several more times, Logan rejoined the group. Raul, having witnessed the events, approached him with newfound admiration.

"Boy, I've never seen such power. You truly deserve the title of hero. If I didn't need to stay here to tend the land of the electric spirits, I'd gladly join you in the coming war," Raul said, patting Logan's shoulder. Logan sighed, resisting the urge to reply with "I told you so," knowing it would ruin the moment.

Logan caught sight of his new apprentice Emary's expression, awe unmistakably etched across his face. Witnessing the prowess of a true tamer had clearly ignited a spark within the boy. With just one beast to his name, Emary's determination to train harder was palpable—he was resolved to build a stronger team and forge more bonds, aspiring to follow in his mentor's footsteps.

"Emary, we'll be heading back to the Duke's mansion first. After that, if you're coming with us, we'll head south," Logan explained, laying out his plan. As he spoke, he approached the thunderbird's nest and carefully picked up three eggs. One of them stood out—it was the largest of the group, and Logan knew it would grow to be the strongest once it hatched. He planned for Emary to tame this one, wanting to help his apprentice grow as a tamer.

Logan hoped to see the effects of his power on other tamers. If successful, perhaps it would also aid Valeria in transforming her chosen creatures into formidable beasts, just as she had wanted.
