Summoned with an SSS-Rank Portal Skill

Chapter 202 - 202: Demonic Training, Start

William and Victoria stood there, unsure of what to do. Everything had unfolded so quickly.

"Why do you think she's trying to hide your bloodline?" Victoria asked.

"I don't know," William replied, sitting on the couch. "It's still a secret why the current king doesn't have the royal bloodline. Only time will provide us with the answers we need."

The entire situation on the demon island was a complete mystery to William. There were many things he still needed to learn, but at that moment, all he could do was stay inside Jhen's house and wait.

While William relaxed on the couch, Victoria decided to

She packed up as soon as she got home. William and Victoria didn't own many belongings, so it wasn't a big deal for them.

"I have a carriage waiting for us," she said. "But keep in mind, we're heading to a dangerous area. There are issues with beasts, bandits, and some shady things going on there. No one wants to go to that place."

William, who had been through a lot in his life, simply nodded. "Don't worry. I've faced some tough situations, so this is nothing for me. But will we have access to books there? You know, manuals with spells and things for us to train with?"

"Yes, of course," Jhen replied. "I'm also going to perform a ritual to grant Victoria a bloodline. It's not like we're heading to the end of the world. There are cities in that region, so there's no need to worry."

Victoria wasn't entirely pleased with that plan since it meant she would have to wait to receive her bloodline. As they were traveling, it could take a while to reach their destination, meaning she would remain without a bloodline for some time.

She was eager for it. She had endured a lot to help William. She left the magic academy she had worked hard to get into solely for the promise of getting stronger, a promise that William was willing to keep.

Victoria kept her thoughts to herself, not voicing them aloud.

Jhen packed up in just one hour. It was still morning when they left the city. Waiting outside was a carriage adorned with the army's symbol, pulled by powerful horses imbued with magic.

This was clearly not a typical carriage. William wasn't surprised, as he had seen flying carriages before, so one pulled by sturdy magical horses didn't impress him much.

"How long until we get there?" William asked.

He pictured the island as a small place, not much larger than the areas he was accustomed to. However, when Jhen revealed the duration of their journey, he was taken aback.

"One month, I think. If only we had some flying mounts to get there faster, but that's not something they provide to a captain like me..."

A whole month. That felt like a long time. Jhen noticed the concern on William's face and took out a few books.

"We're going to practice during the journey, which is why it takes us so long. I have a few books for you to read. These contain many demon techniques that could be suitable for your royal bloodline."

William felt a wave of excitement upon hearing that. He eagerly grabbed one of the books, titled "Basic Demonic Manual of Fire."

Though it had "basic" in the title, it was anything but simple. It contained a variety of fire spells that William was eager to learn as quickly as possible.

Victoria stood by, watching them. She felt a pang of disappointment, as she lacked the bloodline to practice any of those techniques.

In a distant land, Sarah emerged from the forbidden zone and made her way back to the village she had visited with William.

Once there, she used her magic to communicate with Master Elric.

"Master Elric, I've found the portal to the demon kingdom!" Sarah said, a smile spreading across her face.
