I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 117: Battle with Goliath
"So it has come to this…" Logan sighed as he watched the five-meter-tall giant before him, who was slow but showed powerful might with each step it took.
The whole cavern rumbled with its movements.
"Any ideas…" Logan asked while calling his large Eartheater and Silis to follow and help with the fight.
"Stop it at all costs, then bombard it with magic and hope for the best," Valeria said while taking out bombs and tossing them onto the large beast to hopefully stop its movement.
Feeling the explosion near its foot, it roared out in anger, dripping magma from its mouth.
"That did not seem to work. Kai, Chloe, start making barriers; we will need to hold him down. Scorch, since you can resist fire, keep him busy. It’s slow, so hit and run," Logan commanded, not wasting time now that the large golem was approaching.
Logan began using Ice Spikes to hit the creature from afar, while Luna did the same while being careful to avoid Scorch, who was fighting at close quarters.
The terrain was quickly being molded into a maze to make it difficult for the golem to get near.
Valeria, unable to do much, stood back to keep an eye on the battlefield.
Her own beasts were not going to be good in this fight, so she kept them back.
Only those with hard scales and fire or water attributes would be able to get close enough to hurt the golem.
Scorch got close and slashed at the parts of the golem he thought would be soft.
The union between the limbs was the best spot, making the golem roar even louder in pain.
As for Luna and Logan’s efforts, they did not amount to much.
The magma was so intense that the ice would melt as soon as it touched its skin.
He then checked through the list of skills he could use.
They weren’t many, suitable for the situation; the skills he had were mainly for one-on-one with monsters of equal size.
It was then that everyone felt the rumbling, not from the golem, but from someone drilling under them.
"Incoming!" Logan yelled as everyone fell back. Within seconds, a mouth appeared from the floor, eating up any dirt, rock, and crystal that was within its path before diving back in.

Behind it, another large creature emerged—Silis, whose golden scales radiated a red hue, reflecting the magma in front of her.
[Good, we are set, let’s go! Silis, use your best earth spikes to keep the golem busy. Terra, we need a large hole for a trap,] Logan began, ordering his two new helpers that would change the fight against the Goliath.
Silis, who could create spikes half his size, only with the weight and strength of a cannonball.
They could not go far, but at close range, they were as deadly as a large rocket.
The golem was blasted back near the magma chamber, giving the group space to move as well as relieving them from the intense flames its large body radiated.
Logan did not let this small victory get to him.
His Eartheater Terra was slowly eating the dirt in front of them, ready for the next trap.
The golem, filled with fury, went forth trying to hit Silis, who had stopped her barrage, but it stepped into the large trap and fell into a three-meter pit.
Unable to balance itself to get out, it tried using its own earth magic to raise the floor below it.
This was met with both the Eartheater and Silis doing a tug of war with the golem to control the ground with magic.
Logan took this time to try something new. It was a particular magic that only one of his tamed beings used, one he did not want to use as it hurt him while using it.
"Valeria, protect me. I will need to concentrate," Logan called out before casting. He then concentrated on his finger and the blood that was coming out.

It seemed to have a will of its own, moving like a snake.
He tried getting as close as he could to the golem, having Luna use Glacial Barrier to keep most of the heat away.
The blood he sent forth shot toward the golem, trying to find a part within its body that it could enter. Some of it sizzled and evaporated, making Logan have to use more to replace it.
"You should stop, we only tested that once and it did not turn out so well," Valeria whispered as she watched the boy shed a bucket of sweat.
"No, I need this to work; there will be no other way," Logan said, putting all his willpower into keeping himself up.
The golem, using all his strength to fight the earth magic being used on him by two great beasts, did not have the time to care for what the human boy was doing.
Logan’s blood tendril expanded, searching for another area where a large crystal was embedded within the golem.
The crystal had shifted enough to create an opening for it to enter the golem’s body.
"There, it’s in. I just need to concentrate and hopefully overpower him with my taming bond…" Logan said, breathing roughly as he was on all fours.
As Silis and Terra used their magic to make the earth around it press on the creature, Logan did his best to create the bond.
This required him to focus on feelings, on trying to convey his emotions.
He had never had to try so hard to communicate with a beast to work with him as he did with the golem.
[Grav needs no master!] he kept hearing from the beast, who was struggling and putting up a strong mental defense.
[No, not master… I will be a friend,] Logan said. Yet this did not seem to get through, as he had never really worked with this particular emotion.
[Lie, you want servants, not friends, like previous master!] The golem cried out, blasting magma around him.
A small drop was about to fall on Logan, who was nearby, but Scorch shielded him from it.
[I need your strength, not some false loyalty. We will work together, just like all my other tamed beings. With your strength, you will grow stronger and find friends with those you are fighting with now! Let’s stop this and shake hands. We will both grow strong together…]
Logan tried to communicate as he could not even hold himself up anymore.
[Congratulations! You have reached Level 40! As a reward for reaching this milestone, you have been gifted seven primordial beads...]
