First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System - Chapter 468

Chapter 468: New Quest
In front of them, massive city walls stood reaching hundreds of meters towards the sky. On top of the city walls stood lines of soldiers, tens of thousands of them merely on the eastern city walls.

A lot of runic weapons were placed all over the walls, charging their energy, while soldiers kept putting various colors of stones in the large-scale weapons.

Orion and the others didn’t stop to look at the scene and continued towards the exit. Since they had decided to fight like a legion, then they would fight outside.

The group quickly came out of the exit, but all of them froze in their spot as they saw the scene outside.

As far as the eyes could see, they could only see demons in front of them. There were several hundreds of thousands of demons charging recklessly towards the city walls.

But there were also at least a hundred thousand humans fighting fiercely against the demon beasts, forming a line at the front and not letting demon beasts pass behind them.

While some demon beasts who managed to pass from the front lines were killed by the smaller legions or powerful Awakeners quickly.

Orion took a deep breath and continued to advance towards the battlefield. They were not yet at the part where the fight was happening.

And from such a long distance, only the mages could attack the demons, but their attacks might miss or their power might diminish from the scattered power of spells all over the battlefield.

The legion quickly followed after Orion towards the battlefield. Soon, the demon beasts became clearer. Most of them had gruesome beastly bodies, as if someone had merged mana beasts with demonic powers.

Some had rotten flesh all over their bodies while some only had bones for their bodies. There were also some very disgusting monsters whose whole body looked like a mass of muscles squirming together.

A lot of the students made disgusted faces looking at the demons in front of them. They had already seen the demons in books before, but seeing them in real life was a different experience.

Now they realized something could be so disgusting.

Orion also looked at the demon beasts with disgust but his eyes rapidly scanned the battlefield in front of him. He knew that these were just low-level demonic beasts with low intelligence.

Those who truly controlled the demonic beasts had humanoid bodies with various demonic traits. It could be tails, wings, multiple limbs, multiple faces or anything bizarre.

Orion saw a group of demonic beasts breaking through the defense line and coming towards them. He quickly stopped and shouted, “Get in formation!”

All seven smaller legions quickly got in their position with warriors in the front and mages in the back. Earth element mages made the earth rise slightly, only about 2–3 meters to let the mages get a good view of their targets.

Arya and the other 6 Deputy Commanders kept giving commands to the legion members.

Finally, the demonic beasts, like a tide, clashed with the warriors standing at the front of the legion.

Orion loudly ordered, “First batch of Mages! Fire!”

Boom!!

Thunder, Fire, Wind, Metal and other elemental spells flashed past through the sky and attacked the dense group of demonic beasts, killing several dozens of them at once.

Orion didn’t make a move but floated above the entire legion, looking at how they were doing.

‘Hmm not bad, not bad. The training these past few days was not wasted. They seem to be doing quite good.’ He said to himself, sounding quite pleased.

[Right, but they are still too green. Some of them are still terrified of demons. Look at those guys right behind the first line of defense of our legion. They seem quite afraid of facing demons.]

Orion turned his gaze towards the group of people Lumi was talking about. There, some had fearful gazes, so much so that they couldn’t even properly attack the demons.

He rubbed his chin and inwardly said, ‘I need to make a move. After all, as the Legion Commander, I need to boost their morale.’

[Ding!]

Orion paused, looking at the new mission with slight surprise, ‘I almost forgot that Lumi can also issue quests.’

[Hmph! You should eat more almonds, your memory is so bad. (ノ｀Д´)ノ]

His lips curled up with an amused smile before he opened the detail of Channel Opening Elixir.

[Channel Opening Elixir: Helps one to open 5 more mana channels after reaching Tier 9]

Orion looked at the elixir with shock, ‘W-What? Open more mana channels?’

One must remember that mana channels were equal to potential. The more mana a person opened in the Awakening Tier, the higher their potential would be and the higher they could walk on the path.

So an elixir which could directly boost someone’s potential was definitely a priceless treasure in this world.

And Orion also realized its value, his gaze became fervent as he looked at the rewards again and again, ‘Can I… break through the limit of 81 Mana Channels with this?’

[Come on Master, that’s nearly impossible. I browsed through your inheritance, and a person only has 81 Mana Channels in their body. You can’t just magically create more of them.]

He nodded in agreement but then he said, ‘Yes, I know that. But remember… I’m no ordinary creature. Maybe… maybe I really can do that. And if I did that then the body I will forge when ascending to Exalted Grade will be far beyond what everyone else can imagine.’

Lumi became silent as there was indeed such a possibility. Since Orion’s condition was unique throughout history, even she couldn’t confidently say he couldn’t do it.

Though she didn’t think it would be possible. The chances would be less than 1% of it happening.

She inwardly thought, ‘Hmm, even if Master fails, the elixir will strengthen his existing channels, so there is nothing wrong in trying.’

With that, she didn’t say anything further. While Orion looked at the battlefield in front of him as if it was a huge treasure trove.

He couldn’t help but want to spread open his wings and go on a killing spree here. But he didn’t want to attract the attention of high-ranking demons just yet.

Since the system asked him to kill an Exalted Grade demon then there must be some hiding behind this wave of demonic beasts. He didn’t want to take the risk by killing demons on a large scale before fully understanding the condition of the battlefield.

Taking a deep breath, the surrounding mana churned, above Orion’s head, a massive pillar of lightning gathered.

[Railgun: Thunder]

Lightning zapped through the air with blinding speed before hitting the center of demonic beasts charging towards the Legion.

BOOM!!

The attack devastated hundreds of meters in front of him. He had carefully controlled the level of power and only exerted Tier 7 power from the attack.

Even still, a large portion of the demons in the attack range became charred corpses since the absolute majority of them were Tier 4 or Tier 5.

The Legion’s eyes lit up as they saw the devastation that a single spell from Orion caused on the battlefield.

“Too fierce.”

“Commander took down hundreds of demonic beasts with a single spell.”

“It’s a pity, most of those corpses became useless with that level of attack.”

Elias also complained towards Orion, “Commander, leave the corpses intact, what are we going to sell if you destroy all of them?”

Orion’s lips twitched seeing the ‘resentful’ gazes of the crowd below, he mumbled to himself, “Fine, let’s see you asking for help soon.”

Even though he said that, he occasionally made a move when a legion member was in danger while keeping the overall situation of the entire legion rather stable.

The other groups of people fighting couldn’t help but glance towards Orion’s group with a hint of admiration and surprise.

“I didn’t expect the newcomers to be so fierce.”

“They are nearly as organized as the veteran teams.”

“And no casualty has happened until now, Commander Orion is really taking good care of them.”

Of course everyone saw Orion helping his legion members when they were about to get a fatal wound. And seeing this, some couldn’t help but envy the students for their good luck in having such a good commander.

Orion also looked at everyone’s situation but he wasn’t pleased with himself, it had been over 1 hour since the fight started and there seemed to be no end to this battle.

Even if the legion members were well trained by him and the other deputy members and they also brought treasures to replenish their mana quickly, they were, in the end, just rookies.

The mental toll after a few hours would grow too big if it continued like this. And he had no good idea about how to deal with this situation.
