First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Lucan’s Stomach Ache

[Precisely, Master!] Lumi excitedly agreed. [Perfect for surprise attacks or running away!]

Orion chuckled, satisfied with the skill’s immediate integration into his arsenal. Next, he gently withdrew the Sword-Aura Resonance Stone from his inventory, its surface smooth and cool against his palm.

The stone emitted a faint but tangible hum, resonating subtly with his mana channels. Carefully, Orion closed his eyes, gently probing the stone’s aura with his senses, examining its intricate resonance.

’Hmm...,’ Orion thoughtfully murmured, his eyes reopening after a moment of contemplation. ’This resonance... it’s meant to guide and sharpen comprehension of Sword Aura, but I’ll wait until Edgar formally begins my training before fully utilizing it.’

Lumi cheerfully concurred, clearly excited about future progress.

[Very wise, Master! You should definitely combine it with Edgar’s lessons for the best results!]

Orion carefully returned the stone to his inventory, his expression turning thoughtful as he reviewed the remaining treasures once more.

He mentally discussed potential uses and timing for each item with Lumi, ensuring maximum benefit for his growth and the overall prosperity of Limitless Heaven.

Feeling refreshed and ready, Orion finally rose from his bed, heading toward the training grounds behind the mansion. Peak afternoon sunlight cast warm, golden hues over the meticulously maintained gardens and expansive training field.

The pleasant scent of fresh grass and blooming flowers filled the air, gently calming his mind further.

Without delay, Orion began rigorously practicing the newly learned Wood Element spells. His mana flowed effortlessly through his channels, the newly formed Wood Affinity Rune boosting his spellcasting efficiency significantly.

First, Orion summoned the Verdant Shield, vibrant vines and leaves quickly emerging to form a resilient, protective barrier. He tested its strength and flexibility, satisfied by its defensive potential.

Next, he swiftly transitioned into practicing Entangling Roots, controlling sturdy, flexible roots to erupt from the earth and entangle imaginary opponents. The roots moved precisely at his mental direction, firmly demonstrating their immobilizing power.

Lastly, Orion extensively practiced Nature’s Grasp, smoothly manipulating nearby vegetation, lifting and maneuvering various training objects across the field. His control grew steadily more precise, each repetition enhancing his mana efficiency and spellcasting speed.

He then focused on the second-tier and third-tier spells, testing his limits as he cast the Tier 3 spell multiple times with minimal drain on his mana.

He also tried the Nine-Step Quake, taking a single step, then accelerating until he finished the ninth step. His body paused as he felt 10% of his mana drain at once. However, the boost in speed he gained was enough to compete with someone at the Fifth Tier of Awakening level.

Hours passed unnoticed as Orion immersed himself deeply in spell training, thoroughly enjoying the quiet, steady progress.

Finally, as the sun began descending from the sky, bathing everything in late afternoon sunlight, he ceased training, satisfied with the day’s productivity.

Returning indoors, Orion headed straight for the baths to cleanse away the sweat and dirt accumulated during his intense practice.

Entering the spacious bathing chamber, he immediately saw Rina and Fiora patiently awaiting his arrival, their gentle smiles welcoming and comforting.

Rina immediately approached, her eyes bright and cheerful. "Welcome back, Master! Shall we help you freshen up?"

Orion’s voice softened with genuine curiosity as he asked, "What about tomorrow, Uncle Edgar? You mentioned earlier about progressing beyond the basics of swordsmanship. How exactly will we be training? Any special methods in mind?"

Edgar’s smile deepened enigmatically as he calmly shook his head. His eyes sparkled slightly with quiet amusement as he replied mysteriously, "Ah, Young Master, tomorrow’s training is a surprise. Trust me, it will be far more effective if you experience it directly without prior knowledge."

Orion raised an eyebrow, mildly amused by Edgar’s unusual secrecy. "Now you have me intrigued. Alright then, I trust you, Uncle Edgar. I’ll look forward to whatever you have planned."

Edgar chuckled softly, clearly enjoying the brief air of mystery he’d created. A comfortable silence settled around them once more, filled only by the gentle rustling of leaves and the soft chirping of distant birds returning to their nests.

After a peaceful moment, Orion suddenly remembered Lucan’s earlier presence, glancing curiously around the garden. "Speaking of which, Uncle Edgar, where did Brother Lucan disappear to? Wasn’t he here with you in the morning?"

Edgar’s lips curled lightly into a knowing smile as he nodded toward the front gate of the mansion grounds. "That brat Lucan mentioned he was feeling hungry and stepped out briefly. He should be returning any moment now."

Orion’s expression turned into mild amusement, shaking his head gently as he rose from his comfortable seat. "Always about food with him, isn’t it?"

As if summoned by their conversation, Lucan suddenly appeared, walking leisurely toward them with a freshly grilled meat skewer in his hand, casually savoring every bite.

His relaxed and satisfied expression clearly reflected his enjoyment of the food, seemingly oblivious to their mildly amused gazes.

Orion and Edgar exchanged knowing looks, simultaneously shaking their heads in mild disbelief at Lucan’s contrasting behaviors—lazy during everything but exceptionally active when it came to food.
