First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System-Chapter 296: Healer’s Touch (Not That One, Calm Down)

[Hehe, Master, is it about time to gamble??? (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]

Inside his mind, Lumi’s energetic voice chimed cheerfully, eager anticipation filling her words.

A quiet chuckle slipped from Orion’s lips as he shook his head, responding warmly in his mind, ’Not yet, Lumi. First, I want to see if my Mana Channels can truly be restored by the elixir Grandma gave me.’

Lumi’s tone immediately brightened with encouragement.

[Oh, right! Primal Mana Channels might be troublesome to fix with normal elixirs. But I’m sure Grandma Selene’s gift will fix everything up! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ]

Orion smiled faintly, comforted by Lumi’s limitless positivity. He continued through the familiar corridors, eventually reaching the large wooden door leading into his room.

He pushed it open gently, stepping inside and allowing the familiar comfort of his room to calm his restless thoughts.

The room was serene and quiet, just as he had left it. Orion approached the large, plush meditation mat at the center of the room, smoothly lowering himself into a comfortable, cross-legged position.

With a soft exhale, he straightened his back, closed his eyes, and steadily slowed his breathing to a gentle, rhythmic pattern.

Focusing inward, Orion extended his soul perception throughout his body, closely examining the state of his damaged Mana Channels.

Immediately, a detailed mental image formed, clearly displaying all twenty-seven channels spread like intricate threads throughout his body.

Each channel had varying degrees of damage, small tears, cracks, and even complete obstructions in certain places.

The damage was severe enough to obstruct smooth mana flow, dispersing much of the mana wildly and chaotically into his body tissues instead of allowing it to circulate properly.

Orion frowned inwardly, seeing the condition of his Mana Channels, which seemed to have worsened since the last few days.

Shaking his head slightly, he briefly opened his eyes as he carefully took out the shimmering silver vial given to him by Selene.

He held the exquisite bottle gently in his palm, the radiant silver liquid inside pulsating softly with pure vitality and potent healing energy. The sheer density of life force radiating from the elixir filled him with hope.

At that moment, Lumi’s voice piped up again, brimming with excitement and optimism.

[Best of luck, Master! This seems to be an incredibly high-grade treasure. Lumi believes fully that you’ll be completely fixed with this! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]

Her cheerful encouragement lightened Orion’s mood considerably. Smiling warmly, he nodded softly, "Thank you, Lumi. Let’s hope your faith is rewarded."

With gentle determination, Orion uncorked the vial, raising it slowly to his lips. He tipped his head back slightly and drank the entire contents in one smooth motion.

The instant the rich silver liquid touched his throat, a cool, soothing sensation spread through him, cascading smoothly downward into his chest, filling his body with comforting energy.

Closing his eyes again, Orion directed his powerful soul perception inward, meticulously observing the elixir’s movement.

Guided precisely by his soul’s meticulous control, the dense medicinal energy flowed seamlessly through his body, gently seeping into his damaged Mana Channels.

At the moment the elixir touched the first channel, the medicinal power abruptly exploded outward, surging fiercely throughout the channels, greedily absorbing ambient mana within his body to enhance its effect.

Orion’s heart tightened in initial worry but soon relaxed as he witnessed the astonishingly rapid healing taking place before his inner eye.

Each damaged segment of his Mana Channels rapidly regenerated—cracks sealing shut, obstructions dissolving away, tears mending perfectly.

To his shock, however, the healing wasn’t merely restorative. It seemed to surpass even peak restoration.

He watched with disbelief as the previously damaged Mana Channels expanded significantly in diameter, rapidly growing thicker, denser, and tougher.

The channels shimmered radiantly within his internal vision, evolving far beyond their former limits. Orion felt a ripple of astonishment—he had believed that the academy’s Origin Mana Pool had already pushed his channels to their maximum possible state, yet now they expanded and strengthened far beyond anything he imagined.

Recognizing the critical nature of this moment, Orion quickly cast aside all distracting thoughts, fully dedicating his immense soul power and sharp perception toward controlling and guiding the potent medicinal force.

He carefully directed the surging power to evenly distribute across each of the twenty-seven Mana Channels, ensuring perfect uniformity in their restoration and enhancement.

Under his precise guidance, each channel grew uniformly stronger, sturdier, and wider. They glowed vividly in his internal vision, becoming like thick, radiant rivers of pure mana pathways.

Orion felt an exhilarating sense of relief and excitement as he realized the elixir was accomplishing far more than mere restoration—it was directly evolving his Mana Channels beyond the limit.

Throughout this profound internal transformation, Lumi remained quietly encouraging, gently cheering him on without distracting his intense concentration.

[Wow, Master! Your Mana Channels are evolving! They’re becoming super strong now! You can handle so much more mana than before! (つ≧▽≦)つ]

Orion’s lips curled into a faint, proud smile at Lumi’s excitement. ’Indeed, Lumi. This elixir Grandma asked for is even more extraordinary than we expected. It’s pushing me beyond my prior limits.’

Maintaining deep concentration, Orion sustained the internal process for several more minutes, ensuring every channel reached perfect harmony and strength.

Eventually, as the potent medicinal effect finally began to subside, Orion calmly guided the remaining energy toward stabilizing the final structure, reinforcing the Mana Channels into a permanently enhanced state.

At last, when the process completely finished, Orion slowly exhaled and opened his eyes. He felt an immediate difference.

The flow of mana within him now moved effortlessly and powerfully—more fluid and robust than ever before.

He took another deep breath, sensing the newfound clarity, strength, and smoothness in his internal mana circulation. He smiled softly, genuine gratitude filling his heart.

Orion quietly whispered in sincere appreciation, "Thank you, Grandma Selene. You truly gifted me something incredible."

Just then, in front of him, Lumi jumped up in her screen form as she danced happily, glowing brightly in delight.

[Yayy! Master is finally healed! You’re better than ever! (*≧ω≦)]

Orion chuckled lightly, nodding slowly. ’Indeed. Now I won’t lose mana from my Mana Channels and we can start re-creating the Affinity Runes.’

Lumi curiously asked him, [Will you only form the previous Fire, Lightning, and Wood Affinity Runes, Master?]

He nodded his head. ’Yes, I plan to first re-create them and break through to the Fourth Tier of the Awakening Realm. I have a feeling that if I can break through, then the subsequent boost might help me in fixing my Sea of Consciousness and my Soul.’

[Mmm, I don’t think that’s how it works... You might damage your foundation further.]

Lumi weakly said.

Orion exhaled a sigh. ’Then I’ll first form the Affinity Runes and do Gacha to see if I can get anything to save myself.’

Lumi’s system panel danced all around Orion, happy that he wasn’t going to repeat the mistake he made when forming his first Affinity Rune.

[That’s good, that’s good. We can slowly think about this—no need to take such an extreme risk.]

Smiling helplessly, Orion took out the storage ring Magi had reluctantly parted with earlier, gently rolling it between his fingers for a moment as he mentally prepared himself.

He calmly extended his consciousness into the small yet rich space within the ring, where luminous clusters of Mana Crystals sparkled gently in his mental perception, filling the storage ring with a soft, captivating glow.

Orion carefully assessed the massive accumulation of Mana Crystals inside, around 25,000 pieces glowed like miniature stars in the mental space. Taking a deep breath, he decisively spoke to Lumi, who hovered curiously around him in her cheerful screen form.
