Chapter 246: Electric Plains Pt.2

As Silvia stayed behind, Logan, Emary, Raul, and Marco—a muscular man in his late twenties with short violet hair and a vibrant aura that tinted his skin a deep shade of violet—set out westward. They followed a trail that they hoped would lead them to monster-filled fields, where Voltar could begin his search for others of his kind to make his subjects.

Logan silently appreciated having a guide.

It wasn't hard to imagine himself recklessly venturing into the plains unprepared—a likely scenario if not for Leonard, who had secured Duke Kalder's contact information.

Emary's electrical rodent thrived in the charged atmosphere. Its fur bristled with every lightning strike, as though absorbing the residual energy left in each bolt. Watching it, Logan couldn't help but entertain the idea of acquiring one for himself. The creature reminded him of a certain yellow mascot from a game, and he imagined wearing a red cap with the rodent perched on his shoulder—a humorous thought that briefly distracted him.

Raul, noticing Logan's wandering thoughts, took the opportunity to recount a bit of history about the plains. "Our family has lived here for over a thousand years. We've thrived by harnessing the power of this land, relying on its creatures and plants for sustenance, which has allowed us to master the control of electricity. However," he added, "the temple remains beyond your reach for now—it's a place only accessible to those who can fully control the currents. I believe, though, with the aid of enough monsters, you might achieve that one day."

As he spoke, Raul gestured towards a large body of water visible in the distance. Various creatures could be seen swimming and gathering to drink, further adding to the mystique of this electrified world.

Logan watched the herds of horse-like creatures and small antelopes roaming the plains. Both shared a distinctive purple hue and an extraordinary ability to manipulate electricity—absorbing lightning strikes as though feeding on the raw energy coursing through them.

"Like those creatures?" Logan asked, gesturing toward the herd that had already endured six lightning bolts.

"Correct," Raul replied with a nod. "However, I doubt you came here for such creatures. We'll need to either climb the mountains to the west in search of thunderbird nests or, with any luck, encounter a mantis. If it's the latter, I hope your creature can protect us, as mantises are top predators in this region." Raul visibly shivered at the thought of facing one.

Logan grinned with confidence. "No problem. Voltar is one of my strongest. I doubt anything here could stand against him."

Feeling the weight of Logan's words, Voltar sprang onto a nearby tree and effortlessly slashed through it, demonstrating the power behind his deadly blades.

Everyone waited in silence for a few seconds. Raul opened his mouth, as if to say something about the apparent lack of effect, but Logan raised a hand, signaling for patience. Voltar, attuned to his tamer's intentions, gave a subtle nod of acknowledgment. Taking the cue, Logan stomped on the ground—a simple, almost unimpressive act to the onlookers.

Yet, that single movement was enough. The tree before them splintered into countless small wooden cubes, as though precisely carved apart. Even Logan, who hadn't given Voltar as much time as he intended, was taken aback by the result.

The mantis, however, remained composed. Its sharp gaze swept across the surroundings after the display, and soon, everyone followed its lead. Logan trusted Voltar's razor-sharp instincts, and his own eyes moved to where the creature was fixated.

Far off in the distance, Logan spotted what had captured Voltar's attention—one of the creatures he had been hoping to tame. It was a rodent, strikingly similar to the one that accompanied Emary.

[You read my mind perfectly Voltar, I hope you weren't planning on eating him though, I want to tame it.] Logan then ordered his monster to fetch the creature, it was being chased by a large wolf like animal that equally attracted him.

[Bring that one also.] Logan ordered, Voltar who began casting his webs silently, Logan just stood back with the rest watching how his creature would handle the situation.

After casting his webs Voltar used his wings to speed through the field, the webs only became visible when the two creatures were close enough, both prey and preditor stopped as soon as they felt the aura of the creature who had closed in on them.

Logan even doubted Voltar knew what he did, it did not even have to use its webs to stop the creatures, he did however use them to round both of them up and bring them back to Logan, tossing them towards the boy as soon as he landed nearby.

They webs disappeared as soon as Voltar willed them, making both creatures stop just a meter or so before Logan.

"What a rough way to treat your new companions, but I guess teaching them manners will be a good thing to start off with. Now then how about a crystal for each of you..." Logan began with his standard bait, he did have one more trick up his sleeve, while the small wolf like creature bite in to the crystal to drain all its mana, the mouse looked around wearily, it seemed to want to leave until it met Logan's eyes.

It suddenly stopped moving, while looking deep into the one who was staring at him, a type of connection formed making it want to trust him.

The small rodent then ran forth as Logan cut his finger ready to mark the tiny creature.

He did the same with the wolf who also ran forth as if he was controlled, it did not matter if the one he was running to was a human it seemed to be a great friend the creature knew all its life.

Logan turned towards the canine and also placed a mark on its chest.

"Well that was easy," Logan smirked loving Rubina's skill which made those he looked feel attracted towards him, it depended on who it was as it worked differently for whoever it was used on.

The small rodent jumped on Logans outstretched hand and ended up being in his shoulder just as he wanted it to.

As for the coyote, it went next to Logan, still fearing the mantis who had brought him towards his new master.

Logan did not wait to check on his new creatures stats.
