I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 123: Crown Spiked Basilisk
Logan looked at his hand that held three of the remaining crystals. He had already used four: wind, fire, electric, and darkness.
He needed to find candidates for water and light.
As for earth, he was heading towards Silis’ large barn.
She was currently sleeping while enjoying the sun’s rays hitting her.
She was the only monster within the ranch that was able to manipulate her barn’s construction.
So when it was hot and sunny, Silis would remove the roof and sleep curled up.
The problem was waking her up.
Logan knew the danger of trying to wake a two-thousand-plus-pound snake, who could involuntarily move a section of her body and crush him into oblivion.
This was because he had almost made the mistake once before.
Since then, a notice was placed outside the large house to prevent any unnecessary deaths.
Logan at least had one way to wake his large serpent. He took a deep breath and readied his vocal cords.
"Lunch is ready!" He called out as hard as he could.
As soon as those words were spoke his large friend began to uncoil it self like a garden hose under extreme water pressure.
[Food!] Logan’s long rocky friend cried out as soon as she heard those magical words.
"Yes, now eat. I also want to ask you if you want to evolve like Scorch!" Logan yelled while placing a large boar corpse he had in his storage.
The boar’s hide was ruined by Scorch’s fire, making it useless.
[Yes, do want, but want food first,] Silis communicated, not even taking a second to gobble up the boar as if it were a rodent.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Take your time… well, never mind, it’s halfway through you by now, huh…" Logan sighed while showing Silis the dark amber-colored gem with a light in its center.
[Hope it’s tasty!] Silis communicated as she opened her mouth. Logan threw the gem inside and then ran back, knowing that if his large serpent began to rampage because of the pain, he would die instantly.
[Why… ru…n…!]
Before Silis got a chance to finish, she began to shudder slightly, causing a tremor throughout all the neighboring buildings.
Noticing the danger she posed to her master, she curled up into a ball while clenching her fangs, trying to hold on to her sanity.
As with all those before her, particles of amber began to glow around her.
Due to her size, they were more numerous than before, but as soon as enough had built up around her, she began to glow.
Soon, her new appearance began to manifest.
She was just a little larger than before, but this time, she was not covered in normal scales.
Instead, her body was adorned with amber crystal scales that shone brightly in the sun.
Logan remembered that at first, she looked like a cobra, but now the hood had disappeared, replaced with various amber spikes.
In conclusion, she looked far sharper, more fierce, and especially deadly. Logan would really not want to fight a monster of her size or power.
[You look very beautiful, Silis. Congratulations,] Logan said as he approached his large serpent for a hug.
Silis lowered her face just enough to give Logan a lick, but in reality, she slid her forked tongue from his chest to his hair, giving him half of an unneeded bath. Explore stories on novelbuddy
"Thanks... I guess..." Logan patted her while checking on her stats before leaving.

Logan nodded in satisfaction even if he felt dirty and just as he was about to go back to take a shower, his slime appeared next to him in her human figure.
She nodded a few times before staring at her hand and transforming it into a large ball.
Silis then suddenly encased the upper part of Logan, who was startled but held his breath and closed his eyes.
Within a few seconds, she finished and removed the large bubble. As for Logan, he began gasping a little for air but felt refreshed.
"A little strange to be given a shower in that way… but thanks, Kryst, you helped me avoid wasting time I don’t have. But now that you are here, how about it? Do you want the primordial gem of light?" Logan asked while feeling completely dry, even though he was surrounded by water just a few seconds ago.
"No... want," Kryst said while shaking her head slowly from side to side.
"Can you tell me why?" Logan asked with curiosity.
[May change… to something I don’t want…] Kryst replied, as if knowing what her next form would be if she took the gem.
"Alright, don’t worry about it, Kryst. I appreciate your input," Logan said, then walked to help Rubina. He only had two gems left: water and holy.
As soon as he reached his office, which could easily be mistaken for Rubina’s as she spent much more time there than Logan, he looked at the girl who was sleeping behind a stack of papers.
Next to her was the Aurolious Fowl, which tilted its head to the side, curious about what Logan was doing in the room.
[Shhhh, hey there, Uriel, I just came to get some work done.] Logan placed a finger over his mouth as he got closer to inspect Rubina, whose head lay over a large stack of papers.
Seeing the portion which had yet to be finished, he noticed that a bit more than half had been taken care of.
Being as quiet as he could, he took off his cloak, which he usually wore nowadays, and carefully placed it over her shoulders.
He then took a pen and a chair and began doing the rest of the work, going over orders, routes, and many other necessary tasks he needed to handle in his new territory.
As he read through most of the problems, he began thinking about hiring an administrator as fast as possible to lighten Rubina’s workload.
She really did not have to do this, and he knew he was overstepping his boundaries by letting her handle all the work.
Just as he was about to finish, Rubina woke up, her hair a bit messy but just as lovable as always.
Logan knew she would be embarrassed, so he did not raise his face and continued to write as if his life depended on it.
"Logan?" he heard his name being called after a light cough.
"Hi there, I hope you are well rested. I have almost finished with the rest of the work. Give me a few minutes to talk a little about it all." Logan did not need much time to finish before looking at Rubina, who had her hands over her face.
"Now then... how about we get through this so we can eat," Logan said, trying to hold back a chuckle.
"Ah yes, well there is so much to go over… right." Rubina said, quickly lifting her face to look at the boy, who seemed ready to laugh.
The girl stared daggers at him before coughing.
"Why did you not just wake me up!" She yelled just loud enough for Logan to get the message.
"Sorry, it’s just you seemed tired. You know I am really grateful that you help me so much… so to return the favor, why don’t you ask for something in return? Go ahead, anything..." Logan said, almost bowing.
"Well… there is one thing. How about this: you take me out to eat something in a café. You need to check which one you will take me to, make sure it’s good enough. I don’t mind when." She clenched her hands under the table as she said this, feeling jittery about what the boy would say in response.

"If it’s that much, then it’s fine. I will try to hurry though, please look forward to it," the boy in front of her said with that damn smile that made her want to get up and...
