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

Logan and Charlotte worked together to clear the demons, though the pace wasn't as quick as Logan had hoped. He was forced to go slow and help the merchants and civilians stranded near the harbor, including a group of children using a small overturned ship within the harbor as a makeshift shelter. Too paralyzed by fear, they hadn't moved since the chaos began.

"Char… get this boy, I'll grab the other three. Make sure you keep your skill active," Logan said, handing her several vials of mana water. Despite having fought alongside Charlotte for less than an hour, Logan had already developed an understanding of her fighting style and the unique skills she brought to the table.

"Yes, don't worry. I'll handle it with my aura," Charlotte replied confidently. Her protective skill allowed her to reflect a portion of incoming damage while staying close to her liege—a trait that also amplified her effectiveness in combat.

As Logan watched her, he couldn't help but wonder how much stronger she would become if he tamed her like the rest of his creatures and followers. Yet, he hesitated. While taming created his unique bond, the connection Charlotte had with him was different—it was formed by her own ability, a connection of souls that was close to taming but with only two people involved, a knight and her liege.

Logan left the thoughts for later he quickly hoisted the two young five year old boys onto his shoulders with ease, while cradling a six- or seven-year-old girl carefully in his arms. He maintained three shield skills simultaneously, ensuring they were protected as he sprinted back to a makeshift shelter crafted by Chloe and Kai. His two personal knights were brought with the help of Marie, who could perform limited teleportation by infusing pre-memorized spells into crystals.

Silvia, still recovering from executing two grand-scale teleportations, needed more time to regain her strength. Logan didn't push her, knowing the strain she'd endured. For now, he waited for his creatures to be transported while managing the immediate threats.

So far, they'd successfully prevented most demons from docking, swiftly eliminating those who managed to land. Logan, however, was feeling the weight of exhaustion. He focused on rescuing as many people as he could, leaving the fighting to those who still had energy to spare.

Kai and Chloe's earthen walls were holding strong, effectively keeping the demons out. Occasionally, one of them would launch volleys of earth magic projectiles, forcing the attackers back. As for the harbor, it was in shambles—most of it intentionally destroyed to impede the invasion, with only a few sections still standing.

Logan raced back with the children, carefully navigating through the large hole that served as the shelter's entrance. Guards stood watch on both sides, spells at the ready for any demon that might appear.

"Lisa, check on these kids, will you?" Logan asked as he gently set them down. Lisa, who was stationed near the entrance, nodded and prepared to heal anyone who arrived injured.

With a long sigh, Logan wiped the sweat from his face. Exhaustion weighed heavily on him, and all he wanted was to collapse into sleep. Instead, he forced himself awake by tapping into one of his mushroom giant creature's skills, Rejuvenating Growth.

The ability steadily kept him at peak condition, as long as he had mana crystals nearby to sustain it. Though it was taxing on his mind and left him mentally drained, the skill infused him with enough energy to stay alert and energized.

"Logan, Silvia just informed me she's ready to send your tamed beasts! We should fall back and wait for them to come through the teleportation array before you go out to fight again," Rubina called out from nearby. She was perched at a distance, unleashing long-range fire arrow skills to burn down demon-built structures, while expertly targeting and eliminating any enemy that strayed too close.

"Perfect. I'm almost ready to head back into the fight. Charlotte, this time stay back and recover—you've done enough for now. We'll finish this soon," Logan instructed, glancing toward her.

Charlotte, finally succumbing to exhaustion, slumped to the ground, breathing heavily from all the running and carrying she had done.

"Fine, just... be careful out there," she replied, her voice heavy with fatigue.

Behind them, a large portal suddenly opened. The first arrival took everyone by surprise—it was Krexa, now evolved. Her previously small and modest stature had transformed into a figure reminiscent of an adult woman, her skin now slightly green with elegant, pointed ears.

Her once timid demeanor was gone, replaced by confidence. Lean muscle lined her frame, and her smile radiated newfound strength.

"We have come, Master," Krexa declared as a group of thirty hobgoblins poured through the gate behind her. Scorch followed closely, his expression twisted with irritation—clearly annoyed that Krexa had beaten him to the next stage of evolution.

Krexa laughed as she approached Logan, her tone light but firm. "I've gained the strength of Ramos—he's doing fine now. Silis and Terra are watching over him. Now, where is the enemy we'll fight while you rest?"

She punctuated her words by stomping the ground, summoning a spear into her grasp. Her demeanor shifted instantly, he wondered if it was really Krexa with how she moved now as if she had everything under control.

"Lead them Krexa, I need to rest," Logan ordered with a smile, he slumped down as the wolfs entered the gate, they let their riders get on as they began exiting the large stone wall, Krexa made the gate large enough for Scorch to enter without a problem.

"Damn I wonder how my creatures will be when all of them get to level 80." Logan mused, Rubina who was nearby was also in shock.

"Was that Krexa?" She said knowing the lazy goblin more then anyone.

"Yeah… that is her." Logan then looked at the stats, wondering what caused such a change.
