First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Suppressing the Royal Capital

The mana visibly surged towards Orion’s body, forming a colossal whirlpool as it was aggressively pulled into him, guided directly into refining his channels, physique, and even his bloodlines simultaneously.

Viren watched in complete shock and awe, jaw agape and eyes widened to their limits as he witnessed the impossible spectacle unfolding before him.

“What in heaven’s name…” Viren murmured hoarsely, unable to tear his gaze away. “His body is actively devouring the Origin Mana? Just what exactly is this boy…?”

In mere moments, every last drop of dense mana in the pool had vanished, greedily absorbed by Orion’s now profoundly transformed body and awakened bloodlines.

At last, the violent storm of mana settled. Orion, utterly spent and finally reaching his absolute limit, felt darkness envelop his consciousness gently.

His battered yet vastly strengthened body slowly fell backward into the now-empty Origin Mana Pool, completely unconscious.

The chamber returned to a sudden, profound silence.

Viren stood frozen in stunned disbelief, his breathing heavy as he stared at Orion’s unconscious yet undeniably transformed form lying peacefully within the empty pool.

After a long moment, Viren slowly exhaled deeply, gathering himself as a complex mixture of relief, astonishment, and profound respect surged through him.

“Absolutely monstrous,” he whispered quietly, admiration evident in his voice. “Today’s events… no, this young man—he will shake the foundations of this continent.”

Viren stepped swiftly forward, carefully lifting Orion from the now tranquil pool. Despite his worry, a deep, genuine smile formed on Viren’s face as he carefully carried Orion back towards the chamber’s exit.

“You’ve truly outdone all expectations, Orion Helstorm,” Viren murmured softly, his voice filled with awe and anticipation. “Now rest. You’ve earned it—your path is only just beginning.”

Back at Helstorm Estate, a serene silence permeated the air. The sunlight streamed gently through the windows, casting a warm glow upon the neatly arranged furniture and polished marble floor.

However, the tranquility was suddenly disrupted by a loud commotion echoing from the estate’s entrance.

Instructor Viren carefully supported Orion’s unconscious form as he approached the mansion’s grand gates, followed closely by Edgar and Lucan.

Both men wore expressions filled with worry and barely-contained panic, while Viren’s face was pale, covered in a thin sheen of nervous sweat as he had talked with Edgar about Eldric’s patience.

Just as they stepped through the ornate gateway, an intense pressure suddenly descended upon the entire area.

Dark thunderclouds swiftly gathered in the skies above, swirling ominously as a terrifying, invisible force weighed down upon the capital city. The once bright morning abruptly darkened, replaced by oppressive gloom. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

Within seconds, all throughout the Royal Capital, commoners and nobles alike trembled uncontrollably, their faces pale with terror. Many fell to their knees, gasping for breath as the horrifying presence pressed down upon their chests.

Standing near the mansion’s front entrance, Eldric’s usually warm and lively demeanor had instantly transformed into chilling coldness.

His eyes blazed fiercely, filled with overwhelming fury and icy killing intent. Beside him, Selene’s gentle expression had similarly vanished, replaced by intense concern and suppressed anger.

Eldric took a single step forward, the ground cracking beneath his feet as he moved. His voice emerged low and deathly calm, yet carried an unmistakable threat of violence. “Instructor Viren… would you care to explain exactly what happened to my grandson?”
