First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Surprise

The group didn’t hesitate and bombarded the Dual Headed Lion with their attacks. Realizing it was outmatched, the dual-headed lion let out a furious roar of desperation, its twin mouths glowing intensely as it attempted a final assault.

However, Orion’s blade flashed swiftly and decisively, executing Blazing Execution Arc with perfection.

The brilliant flames cleanly decapitated both heads simultaneously, sending the massive body collapsing lifelessly onto the cold stone floor.

The group stood silently for a moment, looking at the fallen beast. Arya exhaled softly as she seriously said, "This is problematic. Even the beasts at the outer area of this Maze are at Tier 7, I don’t know what we will find inside."

Sylvia nodded thoughtfully, her calm voice tinged with caution, "Indeed. A peak Tier 7 beast this early in the maze doesn’t bode well."

Orion knelt calmly beside the lion’s fallen body, reaching carefully past the corpse toward a hidden alcove behind.

Within it grew a single High-Grade mana herb, pulsing faintly with dense energy. Orion glanced briefly at it before casually tossing it into his storage ring, clearly unimpressed.

Elias chuckled softly at Orion’s nonchalant gesture, "Not even sparing it a second glance, huh?"

Orion shook his head calmly, standing back up, "It’s useful, but needs processing. Nothing worth celebrating now. Let’s keep moving."

The group nodded unanimously, turning their attention back to the deeper labyrinth paths. Hours passed seamlessly as they pressed forward cautiously, encountering several more fierce battles.

Each victory gave them a treasure, either useful for them or going into Magi’s pocket. The treasures were not limited to just herbs but also some natural rare ore and mysterious fruits that could purify mana or even expand the mana channels.

But they were mostly useless for Orion as his mana was incomparably pure and his Mana Channels had already expanded beyond what these fruits could help him.

Occasionally, Magi’s eyes glittered excitedly, assessing the spoils of their battles, meticulously cataloging potential profits.

Soon, the group arrived at a wide chamber, where a small pond lay at its center. As they drew closer, the milky-white liquid came into view, and Orion and the rest of the group froze in stunned amazement, their gazes fixed on the gently rippling surface that radiated pure, dense mana.

Kale took a deep breath, his voice barely a whisper. "An Origin Mana Pool..."

A wave of excitement swept quietly through the team. The atmosphere was heavy with excitement as each member felt their hearts quicken at the discovery of this pond.

Orion slowly exhaled, even he had to admit that he wasn’t expecting to discover an Origin Mana Pool in this place.

He calmly turned around and addressed the rest of the group, "Let’s rest here and absorb all the Origin Mana we can. Nyss and Sylvia, this is your chance to attempt a breakthrough to the Seventh Level."

Sylvia and Nyss exchanged brief glances, slight excitement reflected clearly within their eyes as even they didn’t have the luxury to use such a high-level resource.

Without wasting a second, everyone moved closer to the pool’s edge, each carefully taking a seat around the pond.

Rina and Fiora quietly stepped back, taking guard positions slightly behind the group. Both had already reached the Seventh Level, and if they were to absorb mana from the pool, their dual-path cultivation would likely drain it entirely, leaving nothing for the others.

Orion chose a position near the center, sitting cross-legged as he closed his eyes.

He took great care to suppress and control his potent bloodlines, ensuring they would not greedily consume the mana meant to aid his companions. He had experienced firsthand how overbearing his bloodlines could be.

Silence soon enveloped the area, broken only by the soft, rhythmic breathing of the cultivators around the Origin Mana Pool.
