First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System - Chapter 118

118: Rune Resonance 118: Rune Resonance [Oh that?

Haha, you won’t have to worry about your resonance.] He raised an eyebrow.

‘What do you mean by that?’ [Did you forget what Mana Channels you have?] Saying this, Lumi opened his status screen in front of him.

[Mana Channels]: 9 Primal Mana Channels (Universally adaptable conduits capable of channeling all known energy forms.) ‘Hmm?

Primal Mana Channels-I know this.

So what do you mean?’ [Hehe, Master got dumber.

Think about it.

If you have Mana Channels that can channel all energy and are universally adaptable, then which runes will they resonate with?] ‘…’ Orion looked at the details of his Mana Channels again, his expression turning thoughtful.

‘…So, they won’t resonate with any runes, yet at the same time, they’ll resonate with all the runes?’ [CORRECT!!

(๑>Ø‚<๑)Û¶] Orion’s expression turned slightly excited.

‘Then, will I be able to form all the runes?

And will their power be stronger than others on the same level?’ Lumi’s voice turned playful.

[Of course you’ll be able to form all the Runes.

However, your power won’t necessarily be greater than others on the same level based solely on your Mana Channels.

Their specialty is universal adaptability, not amplification.] ‘I see.

Well, that’s good too.

I should be able to learn the Runic Language even faster now.’ Orion nodded and peacefully closed his eyes to rest on the way back.

[Oh?

Now you’re motivated?

I thought I’d have to issue you a quest again.] ‘That’s not needed.

You can’t even issue a second quest right now.’ [That-I can’t.

But you need to learn to be less stubborn.] ‘I call it cautious.’ [Yes, Master.

Cautious like when you recklessly tried forming the Darkness Affinity Rune and nearly fried yourself, despite me warning you?] ‘Hey, experience is the best teacher.’ [Experience didn’t just teach you-it nearly killed you!] ‘Yet here I am.

Alive and wiser.’ [Alive, sure.

Wiser?

Hmm, debatable.] Orion rolled his eyes at her persistent teasing, settling deeper into his seat.

Despite the playful banter, he felt a genuine warmth.

Lumi’s lively presence in his mind was oddly comforting, making him realize how much he’d grown accustomed to her constant chatter.

As the carriage rolled quietly onward toward home, Orion stared thoughtfully out the window, his thoughts drifting toward the path ahead-runes, affinities, and all the mysteries he’d soon uncover.

Yet, before all of this, his daily practice awaited him.

“Uncle Lucan, will Uncle Edgar be back home by now?” He turned and looked toward the small window.

Lucan turned around and awkwardly smiled.

“Uh, Young Master, can you stop calling me Uncle?

I’m not nearly old enough to warrant such treatment.” Orion smiled in amusement.

“Then what should I call you?” He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

“Anything is fine, really.

Lackey, Little One, Lucan-whatever you wish, Young Master.

But Uncle is too much.” Orion’s smile turned mischievous.

“Alright, Grandpa Lucan.

I’ll do as you wish.” Lucan’s smile turned ugly.

“Why do you want me dead, Young Master?

What have I even done to you?” Orion laughed out loud.

“Alright, I’ll stop kidding.

I’ll call you Brother Lucan then.” Lucan’s smile turned bright and smug.

“Hahaha, that’s my Young Master-big-hearted and magnanimous.” “Tell me about Uncle Edgar now.” Orion shook his head and asked.

“Ah yes, Sir Edgar,” he nodded.

“He should be back by now.

He didn’t give the exact details, but he leaves from time to time.” Orion nodded and went back to looking outside the window.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the estate.

Lucan stopped it outside the main building of the mansion as Orion descended.

There, Edgar stood waiting at the door.

Seeing Orion, he lightly bowed.

“Good afternoon, Young Master.

Hope you had a good day.” Nodding his head, Orion smiled.

“I had a nice day.

How about your work?

Are you done, or need more time?” Edgar stood straight and scratched his head.

“Haha, my work is done.

How can I not be finished before it’s time for Young Master’s training?” Lucan jumped down from the front of the carriage.

“I’ll have the things you asked for delivered to your room while you practice, Young Master.” Orion hummed in acknowledgment.

“That’s for the best.

Let’s go, Uncle Edgar.

Let’s increase the intensity today.” “Oh?

Looks like your body is adapting quite nicely to this training regimen,” Edgar said, pleased with Orion’s progress.

Orion rubbed the back of his neck and smiled.

“What can I say?

I’m kind of a genius.” Edgar let out a hearty laugh.

“That you are.” With a chuckle, he swung the mansion gates open.

“Come on, let’s begin your training.” Orion’s lips curled up as he followed him inside.

While walking, Edgar softly asked, “How was the academy?

You came back earlier today.” Glancing at the paintings on the walls as usual, Orion answered, “I only attended a single lecture.

I decided it wasn’t worth attending the others before learning the Runic Language.” Edgar thoughtfully nodded.

“Hmm.

Then it would depend on how you use your time.” “Aren’t I using it quite efficiently?” he chuckled as they turned a few corners before reaching the doors of the training room.

Edgar pushed the gates open while chuckling.

“Let’s see how much you can learn today.” Orion cracked his knuckles and went to pick up the wooden longsword.

“Well, I need to focus on my stance and movement technique.

I’ll practice my swings when I get the real sword.” Edgar turned around and stood in front of him.

“Yes, that’s a good idea.

Otherwise, the weight of the new sword will mess up your flow if you’re used to swinging such a light one.” Nodding, Orion took a deep breath and held the sword in front of him, slowly pushing his left foot back and leaning slightly forward.

Edgar, watching Orion train, felt proud as well as a bit nostalgic-but he didn’t dwell on the thought before making Orion repeat the training they had done the day before.

After that, he sparred with him while pointing out areas for improvement.

Even he was astonished at the speed Orion was adapting and learning.

‘A true monster…’ he inwardly muttered before striking Orion’s hand and making him drop his sword.

“Excellent.

You’re doing truly well, Young Master,” Edgar said, picking up the sword and handing it back to Orion.

“We’re just getting started, Uncle,” Orion smiled in excitement before brandishing his sword again.

Edgar kindly smiled and began training him once more.

Orion planted his sword on the ground, panting.

“Haa… haa… that… was quite intense,” he said, looking at Edgar, who hadn’t even broken a sweat and stood casually ahead, his sheathed sword resting on his shoulder.

“You trained well today, Young Master,” he said praisingly.

Orion tiredly smiled and placed the sword back.

“Yes… it was a good session.

I should head for a bath now.” Edgar smiled and placed the sword back on his waist belt.

Walking out of the grounds, Orion stretched his arms.

‘Mmm, I feel like I can call myself a swordsman in a few months.’ [Hehe, others will take years to earn that title.

You know, all those noble kids have been learning since they were like five to eight.] Orion shook his head.

‘It would be surprising if they could match a True Dragon’s power.

And I’m not only a True Dragon-but also the apex of what humans can be.’ [Yet we still don’t know which is actually better-your True Dragon Emperor lineage or your Human Emperor Lineage.] CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Primordial_Seven Suggest some names for his upcoming new Sword, as well as any other ideas you have.

[Yes, it’s a way to ask for comments]
