First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Exploring the Labyrinth

Between them, towering even higher at nearly eight feet tall, was an even larger ape, a Tier-8 beast. Its crimson tail flicked dangerously behind it, its eyes focused sharply on Orion, clearly identifying him as an immediate threat.

Orion’s eyes sharpened immediately, a hint of seriousness filling his expression. Ape-type mana beasts were notoriously difficult opponents; their intelligence and adaptability made them formidable foes.

He heard Lumi’s curious voice resonate in his mind,

[Master, these creatures most likely wandered in from the Desolate Wilderness. It’s unusual how we have encountered so many species of mana beasts by now.]

Orion nodded silently, acknowledging Lumi’s thoughts. His hands swiftly grasped the hilt of his Realm Guardian, unsheathing it smoothly while he also took out another greatsword from his inventory.

As his blades shimmered in the dim lighting, his body rapidly began transforming once again. Scales of brilliant azure tinged with arcs of silver lightning spread swiftly across his body.

Powerful claws replaced his fingertips, and his muscles bulged with raw, electrified strength. In mere moments, Orion had fully transformed into his imposing Thunder Draconian Form.

Holding both swords confidently, Orion channeled pure, crackling Intermediate Grade Thunder Sword Aura along their lengths.

Immediately, he could sense a tremendous difference. He had realized from his previous experiences that matching his elemental Dragon form directly with the corresponding sword aura dramatically enhanced the effectiveness of his strikes.

Rather than diluting his focus by splitting the elements, he concentrated purely on thunder, feeling its power multiply within his blades.

Without a second of hesitation, Orion swiftly raised one of his swords, aiming decisively at the largest ape.

"[Railgun: Thunder]!" he commanded firmly, his voice resonating in the labyrinth.

Instantly, thunder mana condensed rapidly into a shimmering projectile that exploded forward with incredible speed, slicing through the air with a deafening sonic boom.

Despite its extraordinary velocity, the ape beasts’ agile reflexes allowed them to leap swiftly to either side, narrowly evading the devastating blast that scorched and fractured the stone wall behind them.

The battle erupted instantly into chaos. The apes surged forward, roaring fiercely, their massive limbs striking with astonishing speed and precision.

Orion met their assault calmly, weaving swiftly between their strikes, his blades crackling and humming powerfully as he slashed outward, forcing the apes into defensive positions.

The clash intensified as Orion masterfully blended martial prowess with spellcasting. [Stormpiercer Bolt]! he shouted decisively, aiming precisely at one of the Tier-7 apes.

The ape frantically raised its thick arms, attempting to deflect the piercing lightning bolt, only to have it penetrate through its defenses, burning through its chest and dropping it lifelessly to the ground.

Enraged, the remaining two beasts pressed their assault relentlessly. Orion moved fluidly, activating [Velocity Strike] repeatedly to swiftly dodge and counterattack using his Thunder Dragon Breath.

Each slash crackled violently with thunderous energy, sparks scattering brilliantly through the labyrinth’s corridor.

After a long and fierce engagement, Orion saw his opportunity. He feinted skillfully to the left, drawing the Tier-8 ape’s heavy strike toward empty air before spinning rapidly, twin blades held firmly.

By combining sword technique with powerful arcs of lightning-infused energy, his swords carved a brilliant crescent of crackling lightning through the air, cleanly slicing through the Tier-8 ape and simultaneously decapitating the remaining Tier-7 beast behind it.

As their bodies collapsed heavily onto the cold, ancient stones, silence once more descended over the corridor.

Orion exhaled slowly, feeling the intense rush of combat gradually fading. A subtle smile formed on his lips as he straightened calmly, his form gradually returning to human as he sheathed his blades again while his armor came back on his body.
