First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Soulpiercer Sword

He focused his will inside his Sea of Consciousness, looking at the vast empty void—he felt it was... utterly empty. With nothing but azure mana flowing around him, painting a vivid scenery like a galaxy.

’It’s... rather empty,’ he commented, looking at the place.

[Well no shit, Master. You need to form runes and create spells here to fill it out. And your Sea of Consciousness is much, much larger than others. That’s why it feels rather empty to you.]

’How large is it anyway? Tell me, compared to humans, since I’ll be interacting with them the most, and I doubt I will come in contact with Dragons anytime soon,’ he asked while wandering inside.

[It is a hundred times larger compared to a human’s, Master.]

’Oh? So, True Dragons have only ten times larger Sea of Consciousness than humans? That’s rather small compared to what I thought.’ He moved through a few layers of azure mist.

[That’s because True Dragons rely on their body more than spells. And their main ability, Dragon Breath, is enough to overwhelm most spells.]

He paused in his steps as he came across a glowing orb of energy; it held complex runes swirling inside it like a galaxy. He tried to focus his gaze on it, to see all of its mysteries.

His gaze penetrated the first layer before his Sea of Consciousness abruptly shook. He hurriedly retracted his gaze and looked to the other side. ’Is... this Eye of Revelation?’

[Indeed, Master. All of your passive and active skills are inside your Sea of Consciousness. But since you can only handle the first level of the Sea of Consciousness, Echo placed seals upon the ability. You’ll need to increase your strength and break off these seals.]

’I see. Then I will... get away from here.’ He began drifting in a different direction without further checking on the Eye of Revelation rune. He had felt his entire Sea of Consciousness on the verge of crumbling if he continued trying to look into the second layer of the rune.

He didn’t want to take the risk just yet and began looking for other runes. Soon, he reached another place, where two runes with different elements were placed side by side.

Both runes had complex lines interweaving inside them, yet they seemed to be the simplest things in the world in Orion’s eyes.

"Fire Dragon’s Breath and Thunder Dragon’s Breath..." he murmured, looking at the runes.

[Your current body won’t be able to use these abilities, Master. You can forcefully activate them, but that might rupture your throat and mouth, so I wouldn’t advise that.]

"You seem rather serious right now; what happened to my cheerful little Lumi?" he curiously asked, ignoring the Dragon Breath ability as he knew he would be able to use it sooner or later.

[Hehe, it’s just that this is a serious matter. I don’t want to mess up here. It’s your first time exploring your Sea of Consciousness after all. ( •́ ‸ •̀ )]

Orion lightly smiled and continued travelling. In the distance, behind the dense layer of azure mist, he felt a bone‑chilling aura.

His eyes narrowed as he cautiously stepped across the mist; there, he saw a sword floating menacingly all alone, exuding a chilling presence.

"Soulpiercer... Sword," he softly muttered its name.

The sword had a sleek design, with a dark black blade and a hilt with dragon engravings. It seemed to exude a predator’s presence from its very core.

He took a deep breath and moved closer to the sword—boom! The sword released a wave of chilling sword aura, pushing his will back.
