Logan was ntally confirming those who would co from his human friends after the eting. They were his two knights, Chloe and Kai. Those who wanted to join from his class were Lisa, Alma, and Ms. Claire. As for his tas, there was Scarlet, who was naturally on his wrist and now able to create armor around him.
Serana and her three minions would also join, along with five Warks, including Wohan, the leader, Wayana, and three others.
Logan needed smaller creatures, which was a pity; he wanted Scorch to get stronger and would have to find a place for that soon.
He went with Voltar first, needing to check up on his best warrior. Voltar wasn't tall but was long—three ters long to be precise. His mantis body was agile and great for the labyrinth.
As soon as Logan arrived at the training field, he saw the mantis ditating. Its two legs were used to stand, two others were crossed, while his scythes and wings were used to find balance.
"Hey there, Voltar. Are you doing better?" Logan said, standing a few ters away so as not to disturb the large insect.
"Yes, feel better. Kryst and Miss Lisa healed," Voltar lifted his previous torn off scythe to show he was doing well.
"Good to know. I will be heading out to the labyrinth. Want to co with?" Logan took a look towards the mantis' eyes, wondering if they were sohow looking at him or at sothing else with their large compound eyes.
"Will co.." Voltar nodded before going silent.
"Well… good to know then. I will see you later when we are ready to leave." Logan did not linger longer after seeing he was not going to get a proper conversation.
Now that he had noticed his insect's willingness to join, he decided to go ask Regal, who would probably feel at ho in a closed space filled with prey. She was always hiding in the corners of her own barn within a small ho she made out of webs.
Instead of walking to her barn, she simply flew. Within a few minutes, he had reached the large barn, which looked like sothing out of a horror movie. Webs were everywhere as he opened the door to enter her ho.
"Regal?" Logan asked as he looked for her.
"Here, master…" He heard a voice from above. It was the large spider who was strangely on top of her nest.
"What are you doing up there?" Logan asked, wanting to know why she was being strange.
"Warming… my eggs," the feminine voice called out in his mind. It was a little less cheerful than usual, more like tired.
"Eggs? Are you doing alright?" Logan asked, wondering why Regal wasn't as excited and spunky as usual.
"Yes, found mate… thanks for making Monarch, he can grow now," Regal said as she pointed near Logan.
"Wow… didn't see you there…" Logan looked beside him where a spider stood near him, still as if wondering if Logan was food.
"Less intelligent, will train him properly," Regal hissed, making the spider next to Logan step back.

"Thanks, Regal… I know I gave you the Monarch blessing without asking… but at least warn . So tell , how many… err… eggs do you have?" Logan wanted to know if he would have hundreds or thousands of spiders to fear as a future problem.
"Only three; larger size and strength make it more difficult," Regal inford, making Logan wonder about possible future problems with himself.
"Well alright, I just wanted to ask if you were going to join us in the labyrinth, but it's better to stay here, I guess…" Logan thought about the problem bringing Regal might cause and understood she might not co with them.
"Can't, need to take care. Only helped with demon because he was close," Regal communicated before seemingly going to sleep.
Not wanting to tire her anymore, Logan took out ten crystals from his ring containing darkness energy and placed them down, knowing she would need them soon.
Exiting the barn, he recalled he had another new insect that could help in the coming fight. It was his scorpion, which was in its second stage of evolution, about three ters long and a ter high—perfect for a labyrinth. He also had the monkey, who was a bit large but would fit in the labyrinths small space.
He started with his Scorpion, whose barn was nearby. They had decided to place the three insects as neighbors, as they were the only caretaker who would bring them food and crystals without fearing their looks.
Logan did not take long to find his new beast, Embersting Scorpion.

It was still as feisty as ever. It would only listen to Scorch, who it saw as a role model. As for Logan, he would have to enter battle to test his strength with the creature every ti they t.
As soon as he opened the door to the Embersting Scorpion, he saw a stream of fire coming at him. Luckily, Logan had used Glacial Armor beforehand; as soon as the fire hit him, it sizzled.
"That was weak, my boy. How about if I use the sa magic back at you!"
Logan used Firestream back at the Scorpion and saw how it struggled, as Logan had more mana than it.
"If you want to get stronger, I have a suggestion. Co with to train—we need you as strong as Scorch. How about it?" Logan stared down at it. The Scorpion's small eyes stared at him for a while as it thought about the proposal.
"Fine…"
Logan heard the chanical voice this beast used. It then turned around and huddled into a nest it had built with previous firestones its caretaker had brought it.
"Here… I know you will need these. We will be leaving tomorrow, and make sure you don't hurt Norman—he's the only one who will feed you." Logan got close to the scorpion's small pit of molten lava and placed ten crystals, hoping they would be enough to strengthen the beast throughout the night.
"Yes." The scorpion said before going to sleep.
"Now then… to the next one," Logan mumbled to himself, closing the door.
