I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 267: Bonds and Recovery
The idea of recreating Scorch's body crossed his mind—a new tactic that could change the dynamics of any battle. He already had access to the dinosaur's abilities, but having its physical form to complement them would enhance his power even further.
If Kryst's adaptive and transformative capabilities allowed such flexibility, the possibilities were endless. Logan couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement, imagining the strategic combinations he could create by merging abilities and forms. This wasn't just strength; it was adaptability taken to an entirely new level.
"Now rest, Kryst. Tomorrow, we'll head out, and I want you to test your new abilities. Learn to use them well so we won't face any problems in the future," Logan said, placing a reassuring hand on her head. Despite her growth and transformation, she was still a head shorter than him, a detail that brought a faint smile to his face.
"Yes, will go sleep. I feel tired," Kryst replied, her voice unchanged, carrying the same innocence and simplicity as before. Logan watched as she rubbed her eyes, her exhaustion evident, before reverting to her small, round form. She hopped three times before landing on his bed.
It was strange. Normally, fabrics would absorb part of her moisture, making it difficult for her to rest on them. Yet this time, she seemed perfectly fine, her new form adapting in ways Logan hadn't anticipated.

Logan joined her, knowing there was little he could do until Alma woke on her own. The night passed quietly, and when morning came, he was greeted by Ruri's excited voice.
"Alma woke up, Master Logan! You should go see her!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm lighting up the room.
"Thanks, Ruri. I'll head there in a few minutes," Logan replied, rising quickly. He noticed fresh clothes laid out for him and the absence of Kryst.
He wondered briefly where she had gone but decided to focus on settling his morning affairs quickly. The sun streamed through the windows, its warmth illuminating his tower—one of the few structures that stood tall beyond the protection of the kingdom's massive walls.
Logan hurried down the hall, eager to check on Alma before having Silvia warp him back to the temporary warp array they had set up. As he entered her room, he noticed the other girls were already there. Serana and Rubina stood a bit farther back, while Marie, Silvia, and Lisa were clustered around Alma, embracing her as she remained resting in bed.
"How are you feeling, Alma?" Logan asked, stepping closer. She looked as lively as ever, her condition reassuring him. But something else caught his eye—a thin, gelatinous layer that faintly shimmered over her.
"Kryst? No wonder I didn't see you…" Logan said, his realization dawning. Yet as he spoke, he felt a familiar presence at his side—another part of Kryst.
"Yes, I left a part of myself here. When I sensed her move, I came down to check on her," Kryst replied, her voice calm as she joined the group.
"I forgot you could split yourself," Logan admitted, marveling at her progress. "It's even more impressive now… it's like there are two of you." He remembered when she could only create smaller, temporary versions of herself that had to remain close to her core.
"Yes, can keep for days now. It will stay with Alma until we return to keep healing," Kryst explained while methodically placing light crystal stones around the room.
"Need to keep crystals here to feed my clone. She needs mana to maintain her body," Kryst added, her voice calm as Logan nodded in understanding. The others waited quietly for Alma to respond.
"I'm lying here, hurt, and all you can think about is your precious slime? I feel so neglected now," Alma sneered, pulling the blanket over herself.
"Sorry about that," Logan replied, walking closer. "Now come here. Let me have a good look at you." With ease, he tugged the blanket away, his gaze landing first on her unblemished face before shifting to her stats. Everything appeared normal—her HP was full, her connection intact. His gaze lingered briefly on her shoulder, where her mark stood clearly visible beneath the strap of her white tank top.
Alma glared at him for a few moments before Logan finally closed the distance and hugged her. He rested his head gently on her chest, his grip tightening slightly.
"Damn it, be more careful. You don't know how worried the rest of us were," Logan said, his voice strained with concern as he held her closer.
"I messed up…" Alma admitted softly, wrapping her arms around Logan in return. "But I'm fine now. Don't be too harsh on yourself. We knew this was going to be a dangerous place, didn't we?"
Her voice wavered as she looked up at the others surrounding her. "Thank you, everyone, for giving me a second chance at life. Lisa… if you hadn't been there, I don't know how I'd still be here today," Alma added, her words quivering with heartfelt gratitude.
The room was heavy with emotions, but there was a sense of relief and unity among them all.
Logan finally composed himself, leaning down to kiss Alma's forehead tenderly before rising to his feet. He turned to Lisa and enveloped her in a warm hug.
"That skill—it can only be used once, right?" Logan asked, his thoughts lingering on his status screen, which displayed (1/1) for the skill Seraphic Resurrection. It puzzled him, implying it was a one-time-only skill for both of them.
"Yes," Lisa replied thoughtfully. "But if it still shows up, I think I might regain it if I change class. Then again, it's hard to say. Only time will tell." She leaned forward and kissed him lightly before they separated.
Logan looked around before addressed everyone in the group. "Everyone, stay here today and train. Most of you are nearing your evolution, so focus on achieving it before I finish my quest to find the ents. When I return, we'll head out together to the Red Iron Republic and make sure everyone reaches level 80. We need to be fully prepared for the battles that await us in the empire."
