YM778.TV Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Double Portal
Eren started flipping through the pages, absorbing the information about the Western Continent.
He learned the geography, political structure, and more importantly, the profiles of key figures, including the Holy Priestess, the Crusaders, the Cardinal and even their King.
Even he was surprised at how fast he was able to read the books. If he had this speed back on earth, he was sure he would have finished reading all four thousand chapters of the novel, instead of just two hundred.
He wasn\'t sure if it was an ability that Ren already had, or if he received this thanks to the system and leveling up. For now, he didn\'t care about the source of this skill.
He simply kept flipping through the pages, not spending more than a few seconds on a page. Within a few minutes, he finished reading the first book and moved over to the next, still not feeling tired in the slightest.
The more he read, the more he realized how intricate the political web of the Western Continent was. It was more or less like he had expected with the King being subservient to the Holy Priestess who was the true ruler in the shadow.
Hours passed as he immersed himself in the books, barely noticing the passage of time. Each piece of information was helpful as he needed to be prepared for everything.
The trip to the Western Continent was a scenario that hadn\'t happened in the novel upto the point he had read. It was something entirely new from this point onwards, and he couldn\'t afford to make a mistake.
Fortunately, it didn\'t happen sooner. Currently, he wasn\'t as weak as he used to be. His level was increasing. He wasn\'t as strong as a Great Elder, but he was strong enough to use his other abilities without being overburdened.
He had the Pendant of Poison which had two attacks left. He also had the First Spirit Queen as well as the forces of the Spirit Realm. And lastly, he had the Dragon Lineage.
This much preparation seemed more than enough to keep him safe, but he wasn\'t satisfied. As he had already made a selection, he was going to take another Pendant series reward with him.
When he finally closed the last book, he leaned back in his chair, processing everything he had learned.
His decision to kill Li Yunfeng wasn\'t just about completing a task. It was about ensuring that every step he took was calculated and beneficial in the long run.
"Yelen, are you ready?" Eren asked, standing up and stretching his stiff muscles.
"I am. I just need the destination," Yelen told Eren. If anything, she had been waiting for the moment where she had something to do. She was growing bored just watching Eren read.
Eren handed her a small slip of paper with coordinates scribbled on the rough map of the sect.
"Create the portal here."
Even as he was done reading, the Librarian didn\'t know. She walked past the section and all she saw were the magical curtains. She didn\'t expect Eren to finish reading all these books within a few days at least.
Yelen nodded and started opening a portal. The air around her trembled as space started opening up, connecting their current location to the Spirit Realm and then to their final destination in the human realm.
"It\'s the double portal, so it might be harder than before," she reminded Eren who was prepared to enter the portal, putting the last book on the table.
"Will I also fall from the sky this time?"
Eren still remembered what happened the last time Yelen opened the portal. If that was going to be the case, he wanted to be prepared to fly right as he left the portal.
Yelen rolled her eyes, appearing a little embarrassed to have her skills doubted because of one mistake.
"That happened because you took so long to enter the portal. It became a little unstable," she explained, reminding Eren that she had opened the portal before he entered a spirit contract with Felona and heard the past of Xiu Ying.
As the portal was open for such a long time, it was completely normal for the destination to change by a few feet.
"I made sure that doesn\'t happen this time," she added. "However, there is a different problem. It\'s fine for me, but you are human."
"Entering two portals one after another that take you to different realms will be hard for you. The spatial tunnel won\'t be stable, and you might actually end up in the wrong place again."
"Is there a solution for that problem?" Eren asked.
If there was no other solution, he was about to tell her that they could take a short break in the Spirit Realm before entering the second portal to their destination.
Fortunately for him, Yelen did come up with a solution.
"I will guide you to the destination so you don\'t get lost within. So you should have physical contact with me," she said, reaching out her hand for Eren to hold.
To her surprise, Eren didn\'t hold her hand. Instead, he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"If it\'s just about that, then it\'s fine," he said while stepping towards the Portal. Yelen didn\'t even have time to react before his warm hand was wrapped around her slender waist.
She cast a glare at Eren but didn\'t say anything. She entered the portal, accompanied by Eren. The portal led them straight to the Spirit Realm, which made Eren feel a little dizzy.
It became even worse as he was connected to another portal right away, which led him back to the human realm. He finally understood why Yelen said that it was hard to travel through two portals one after another.
Without Yelen, he was sure that he would have lost his way as the second spatial tunnel was even more complex with multiple paths splitting into branches.
