First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Strange Soul

Softly shaking his head, he turned his attention outward again and scanned his surroundings carefully as his body slowly turned back human and he wore the armor.

The environment looked nearly identical to the earlier parts of the maze, dark, silent corridors crafted from ancient stone, dimly illuminated by faintly glowing runic patterns.

The labyrinth seemed intent on disorienting intruders, each corridor indistinguishable from the last, an endless loop of oppressive repetition.

Orion’s brow furrowed slightly in annoyance at the sheer scale and complexity of this maze. Choosing a direction based purely on instinct, he began walking steadily forward, remaining vigilant against any further threats.

After a short while, his keen senses immediately alerted him to a soft, gentle radiance ahead.

Curious, Orion moved closer and stopped abruptly in mild astonishment. Nestled securely in a small crack carved into the labyrinth’s stone wall, a magnificent flower bloomed.

Its seven exquisite petals gleamed softly, radiating gentle waves of soothing light. Delicate, intricate patterns covered the petals, intertwining gracefully, yet it did not release any aura or smell.

Orion’s eyes lit up with recognition. "High Grade Seven Petal Mind Lotus," he whispered to himself quietly, marveling at the rare flower.

This particular flower was famed for its ability to enhance and strengthen soul power, a highly coveted treasure among soul cultivators.

But it was also rare because finding it was very hard. It exuded neither smell nor any aura. So most uninformed people left it as a wild flower, while those looking for it couldn’t find it.

He approached carefully, extending his senses to ensure no hidden danger lurked nearby. Upon confirming its safety, Orion relaxed slightly, stepping forward to observe it closely.

Its fragrance was subtle, calming to the mind, gently stimulating his soul.

Lumi eagerly spoke up again, curiosity evident, [Master, your luck certainly seems to be turning around now!]

Orion chuckled softly and nodded, "Luck is fickle, Lumi. But yeah, this is a good start. Good thing this treasure doesn’t have any guarding beast since they haven’t discovered it. Now the next thing to do is to strengthen my soul. I will be closer to breaking through then."

Carefully, Orion reached out, his movements gentle yet decisive as he applied his meticulous alchemy skills.

Using a tiny scalpel infused with a thread of mana, he meticulously loosened the Seven Petal Mind Lotus from its hidden crack, ensuring not even the slightest damage to its delicate petals.

A soft smile of satisfaction formed on his lips as he finally held the glowing flower firmly in his palm.

With the flower securely extracted, he paused to look around the quiet surroundings once again, scanning the seemingly endless corridors.

A faint trace of amusement flickered across his face as he reached into his storage ring, pulling out the Shadowveil Band.

"I didn’t think I’d need to use this again so soon," Orion murmured, a hint of playful self-mockery evident in his voice as he slipped the dark, intricately patterned band onto his wrist.

The cool metal pressed against his skin as he channeled mana into it, instantly activating its remarkable concealment ability.

Lumi softly giggled within his mind, her voice warm and teasing,

[Master, don’t pretend this is your first time. You already used this back during the kidnappers’ fight.]

Orion’s smile widened, shaking his head lightly as memories briefly surfaced. "You’re right, Lumi. When I first got this thing, I seriously underestimated its concealment capabilities. Back then, I even mocked it by saying only rats hide like this."

[And now, Master, does this mean you’ve become a rat as well?]
