I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 99: Demon’s Lair Pt. 2
"A demon? It didn’t seem to have intelligence though…" Logan asked as he saw the two characteristic wings behind its back.
The only thing that did not fit was the facial features with large fangs and its hands, which had large claws.
"Of course not, that shouldn’t be alive. It’s a vampire, one of the elder demon races. Roland had hunted them off. This one must have been hidden for so long it turned feral. If not enough human blood is taken, it turns into this thing," Valeria explained, as if knowing the creature in detail.
"If there are more, we should hunt them down. It’s not wise to have them near a human settlement. One drop of human blood will reawaken their previous form until it slowly regains its prior intelligence," Valeria cautioned as she stabbed the heart of the creature, which began to struggle until it faded.
"It was still alive?" Logan asked as he saw the creature turn into dust.
"Sort of. It would have recovered in a few days if its magical core still had enough energy to keep going. By the look of things, it did have energy, so there must be a source of food around." Valeria suddenly turned around as her beast let out a roar.
"There is more! How many do you see?" Valeria asked Logan, who was still observing the remains.
[Two more are coming] Regal said as she jumped off him to create more webs.
"Two, and they are almost here!" Logan called out while taking out a mana potion to reuse Inferno Burst.
"Keep them at bay, mentor, I need more mana." Logan suddenly placed the ring on his mouth and began drinking the mana water to hurry the mana recovery process.
"Okay, I am ready. Uriel, let’s go!" Logan hurried and used his Inferno Burst on the closest creature while he noticed the second one jump back.
"Damn it, one of them seems to have a little intelligence!" Logan continued, not stopping the burst of flames that roared in front of his hands.
"Keep at it, I will try to hold off the one that ran away," Valeria said while reloading her crossbow with darts imbued with fire magic.
"This one is almost dead, mentor. I will help as soon as I am done," Logan said while drinking more mana water from his ring and taking out a whip to use Searing Whip, another of Scorch’s skills.
The whip seemed to be doused with flames as Logan used the skill and cracked it in front of him, hitting the monster until it fell to the floor.
Logan heard two explosions around him as he tossed the handle which remained; the rest of the whip had melted away.
"Damn it, I will need a special one made to resist fire," Logan told himself as he took out a dagger to end the life of the vampire.
Taking out another whip he had readied in case this happened, Logan ran to where his mentor was fighting.
The particular beast she tried to shoot was fast enough to dodge her bolts.
"Damn it, she is a fast one!" Valeria called out as Logan helped her with his whip to slow the creature.
"She?" Logan asked, not stopping his hand.
"Yeah, you should know a quick way to differentiate a woman," Valeria said with a sneer.
"Oh, of course… so what’s the plan?" Logan yelled as his whip began to look more like a mace.
"Keep going, it should get tired soon… I hope!" Valeria said as she kept using bolts.
"Arg, I am going to go broke and also full…" Logan said as he took another sip of mana water and tossed the stub of a whip away.
"Noire, use your spell!" Valeria ordered as Logan saw how the shadows in the room began to converge on the vampire’s foot.
"Now use whatever you have!" Valeria yelled.
Logan heard countless explosions as he used Inferno Burst for the third time, leaving him breathless.
"It’s working! Keep going!" Logan said with excitement, even while his body ached.
As soon as his mana was nearly depleted, he stopped and told Regal to cast its webs to cover the vampire.
"We should be done, right?" Logan asked as he slowly walked towards the vampire, which seemed to be still within a cocoon of webs.
"Until we break its core, nothing is finished," Valeria said as she cautiously approached the fallen enemy.
They stopped a meter away from the cocoon, waiting to see if it would move.
"You know it was a bad call to cover that thing in webs… now we can’t see where its core is at," Valeria said as she took out a sword and poked it to see if it would react.
"I am sorry, I didn’t know it would be that much. Regal sure is good at it," Logan said as he stood in wait.
They waited a few minutes before deciding it was a good time to cut the creature loose and finally finish it off. Enjoy exclusive adventures from novelbuddy
As Valeria used her sword to cut through the webs, she felt resistance not only from the strong webs but also from the tough skin of the vampire.
"She seems better off than the other two," Valeria said as she continued to slice through it.
As soon as the blade finished with the torso of the creature, its eyes lit back up as it opened its mouth to cast a spell.
"Get back!" Valeria called out as she pushed Logan away.
Logan saw Valeria hit with a spell, causing one of her arms to turn in an unnatural position.
"Mentor!" Logan called out as he saw both Saber and Noire react, trying to kill the vampire.
Logan rushed back in and ordered Uriel to use its two moves: Inferno Song to keep his allies fireproof, and Phoenix Dive to cause area-of-effect damage.
He hurried to pull his mentor up and drag her back to safety. As he got close, he noticed she was not only unconscious, but also that she was a demon.
