My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 239 Portal To Anywhere

<strong>12:50 a.m., April 8th, 1994, Eleventh Epoch;</strong>

Three people wearing black robes and hoods exited the Camelot's Imperial Palace in secrecy.

"Do we need to go like this? Can't we just go out with an excuse of touring the city in broad daylight?" Claire complained in a whisper. She didn't understand why they need to move like thieves.

"No, in daylight, Princess Leah will be followed by two hidden guards and you will be followed by your sister," Azzy explained to her to clear the confusion. "Moreover, today is a full moon. We need to be extra vigilant if we don't want to get caught."

"And we need to return by morning. It should be as if we never went out." Leah added to his statement. She urged them to increase the speed as they don't have much time to waste talking useless things.

With Leah's lead, the three of them managed to get out of the capital city and started to move towards the mountains of Ascetir. They returned to the hill where the Royal Training Grounds is located.

They stopped at a rock, located more than ten meters away from the entrance and hid behind it upon replaceing the two guards at the stairs. The special robes that the three of them wore mask their presence, so, the guards didn't feel anything amiss and continued their night duty with a campfire before them.

"What do we do now?" Claire asked Leah, to which the latter smiled and just summoned her storage card, taking out a flask with some kind of green gaseous substance inside it.

Without explaining any further, she threw high in the air without even taking a look. Nevertheless, her throw speed and the trajectory were so perfect that they directly landed in between the two guards who are chatting with each other.

"Careful, there's…" One of them detected the flask when it was just about to hit the ground but alas, as soon as the flask hit the ground, it was immediately destroyed, releasing the gas inside it.

"What the…" Claire who peeked from the edge of the rock was taken aback by the scene unfolded before her eyes.

Even though the guards are at an intermediate stage of the Elite realm (mid-rank-5), they fell unconscious within a fraction of a second without even being able to resist it. It was an instant knockout.

Claire was once again reminded of how Leah had so many tricks up her sleeve and she couldn't underestimate her just because she managed to hold against her for several hours without being defeated.

"It's a sleeping potion in gaseous form created by several flowers grown at our Academy," Leah said to Azzy, almost bragging about her talent in alchemy studies. "It's still incomplete as it can only affect the people under Upper Elite Realm and that too for those who possessed Arcana spirits lesser than that of gold grade. Need further experimentation…"

"I see…" It made Azzy remember the Smoke clan that is extremely versed in alchemy. He wondered whether he should learn the subject after returning to his timeline. After all, he knew that he won't be staying for too long here. So, he wouldn't count on learning at an advanced academy.

After a minute, the gas is dispersed and the team of three is ready to climb up the stairs and reach the Royal training grounds.

Instead of going inside, they stopped before the entrance. Leah then took out some mystical ring from her storage card. Azzy takes a look at it. It wasn't any different from an ordinary ruby ring. The only thing that's off about it is perhaps the carvings of unknown symbols drawn on it. With just plain sight, Azzy couldn't clearly see what they are.

But, all of it doesn't matter as his attention was shifted to Leah who started to speak in some kind of unfamiliar language. "Oh, duguo maegeneacen guardians rad Camelot, to behalf rad se ealdorstol, ic pro, Leah Pendragon, tima word mago rad Arthur Pendragon requests eow od cynelic waegn Portal rad Anywhere swadeana forleosan us of pro ic pass through."

Claire looked at her in a daze, wondering just how many secrets this perfect princess has. Unknown to Azzy, his girlfriend clearly understood the language but she just didn't expect Leah to know it too.

Meanwhile, the Reaper informed him that she's speaking in Ancient Orlon and translated it into the modern Orlon that he was familiar with. "Oh, the mighty guardians of Camelot, on behalf of the throne, I, Leah Pendragon, a direct descendant of Arthur Pendragon requests you to open the Portal of Anywhere and let us pass through."

As soon as the incantation ended, the eyes of the statues suddenly glowed in red for a second before a red-colored slowly started to form in between them.

"This is called Portal of Anywhere, exclusive to the Royal family, which can teleport to any place on Arcana world as long as you visited it before." While Leah was once again bragging about how great her ancestor is, Azzy was enquiring about the statues with the Reaper to see if he can replace something.

And the Reaper didn't disappoint him either. He explained the secret of the statutes that he didn't tell him before. "These two were called Gargoyles. They were an artificial race created by a Mad God Dyeyar and were used to lay a siege on the Sun Kingdom in the Celestial Empire. After the siege failed with his death, the Sun God Apollo/Surya/ Ra/Amaterasu or whatever name he was going by in different worlds, cursed the Gargoyle race that under his watch, they will forever be immovable statues. Only after the sun sets, Gargoyles can return to their form.

Some of them like these two serve as protectors while some of them were enslaved by the Archdemons. Simply, they are like Djinn or any kind of weapon, neither good nor evil. Oh, I forgot to mention that these two are at the General level and each one can fight against a Supreme realm Arcana Master below the intermediate stage on an even ground. So, loitering here on the night is dangerous."

Soon, the portal was completed and Leah told the other two to be connected to each other to get teleported together. Without waiting for the reply, she quickly grabbed Azzy and Claire's arms and stepped inside the portal while thinking of a place in her head.
