Chapter 246 A Jungle? And is that a Gigantic Mosquito?

Chapter 246 A Jungle? And is that a Gigantic Mosquito?

They prepared some supplies before leaving for the central continent. Someone who did not want to be left behind was Sully, who turned into his small version, hiding inside Arthur's pocket, waiting for him to leave toward a new area!

Speaking of Sully, he was growing stronger and stronger, having his power almost equal to that of an Official Mage. It was not there yet, but Arthur was sure he would reach that point given enough time, or perhaps with the usage of the bloodline treasure Arthur got from the dimensional realm, although he was waiting to use it when on the central continent.

Arthur wanted to know how to get to the central continent, and George was the only one that knew how, but Arthur was reluctant to speak with him, afraid that George was not someone he could trust.

Still, he spoke with him anyway, as he had no other choice.

Just like he imagined, the way to reach the central continent was through a hidden portal, but it was not a simple task to get to that portal.

It was in the middle of the ocean, on a tiny little island between all the continents.

"Another ship journey? Ahhhh!" Arthur yelled, visibly frustrated.

Before leaving Odemore, he set his anchor spell so that he could return with ease. After that, all of them left Odemore.

He spent some time during the previous three months making a copy of all the dragon skills that suited Eleonora, who had ice as her major element.

Eleonora was learning magic inside Odemore, as she wanted to get stronger, but she did not neglect his dragon powers, learning some things with Arthur in these past months.

She wanted to go with them to the central continent, but she was not ready yet. Arthur promised he would help her find Nefion as well, as he would search for more information about him while he was on the central continent.

Arthur only left Odemore after all of that was settled, leaving on a ship, eager to reach a new location.

"We barely know the central continent. What dangers should we expect?"

"Well, I believe not that different from our place. The only difference is that there are Official Mages there, varying from rank one to three, so we should be careful with them. As for the strength of the creatures that lived there, we can expect them to be at a similar level or even higher!" Arthur said.

The central continent was the place where all aspiring mages went to get their hands on high grade meditation techniques so that they could reach the level of an Official Mage.

Arthur, Jane and Wisa reached that level because they had the Monlog technique at their disposal, so they did not need to leave and search for a meditation technique, different from the rest of the mages.

"Makes sense. The only problem is the waiting… at least we got ourselves a private room, hehehe." Wisa laughed, getting closer to Arthur, touching his down parts.

Different from all the other ship journeys, who weren't good, that one was. Arthur now had the company of his wives to enjoy the ride, literally.

The ship stopped at a random location in the middle of the ocean. It was a tiny island that had nothing on it. No buildings, nothing.

"Were is this portal again? At the middle of three coconut trees?"

"Apparently. No wonder people have to spend lots of time researching this portal. It makes no sense at all!"

They all parked the ship there and went toward the part of the island where the portal was supposed to be. It was in the middle of three coconut trees.

Well, it was invisible and someone had to deliberately activate the portal or else nothing would happen, even if they stood in it.

How did George get the information about that portal? Arthur did not know, but when he spoke out loud the words which activated the portal, it worked!

A circle enough to cover three humans appeared. It was transparent, and by looking at it, one could see the other side of it, which was a jungle!

Arthur had traveled to many places, and he knew the place he was looking at was something unknown to him. He was certain it was the central continent!

"It worked! Shall we go? Who will go first?" Theo said, jumping in joy, excitement.

"Me, of course." Arthur said, taking the lead to pass through the portal before everyone else.

If anything went wrong with the portal, then he would be the person to suffer by it, leaving his wives and friends alive.

Not that he was the person to always act like a hero. It was more like he was sure there would be nothing wrong with the portal, as he had already scanned it before using it.

When his lead feet passed through the portal, Arthur was no longer on that tiny island but in a completely different place — a jungle!

The sunlight could barely reach the ground of that jungle, as the trees' tops covered most of the sky! Everything was so big in that place; the trees, the bushes, the long green vines and… the bugs!

Arthur saw an immense mosquito fly toward him. It had the same as a human child, which made the thing scary!

"What is that thing? If a mosquito has this size, imagine the rest of the things?"

The good part was that the mosquito, despite the gigantic size, was not strong. Arthur finished it with one spell, sending a thunder toward it.

Jane, Wisa, Theo and Kai were at the other side of the portal, and they could see everything that was happening, especially the battle with the giant mosquito.

It was not something any of them enjoyed, but after making sure everything was safe, they all crossed the portal, meeting with Arthur at the other side.

When all of them crossed, both portals were closed, and one had to speak the same magical words again to activate it. Arthur made the test, and it worked.

"We should mark this spot so that we know where it is in the future." Arthur said, as he carved some trees around the area using his claws.

With his boosted memory as a mage, it would not be that hard to memorize the location, but considering most of the jungle was almost the same, it would prove to be a hard task.

"Where should we go first? We do not know where we are." Kai said.

What he said was indeed true, but that did not mean it was impossible to find civilization.

"If there is civilization inside this jungle, then it has to be near a river and in a plain area, so it will be easy for us to see it, but I have a strong feeling there is not a civilization here." Arthur said.

"So we should focus on leaving this place as soon as possible?" Jane asked, scratching her head.

"Yes, and we have a strong fuel to help us with the motivation to leave this place."

"Yeah? And what is it?"

"There."

Arthur then pointed toward their right side where tons of immense bugs made their way toward them!
