First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Returning

With a casual wave of his hand, Orion conjured a fierce flame, instantly setting the entire room ablaze. The flames quickly consumed the bodies and any evidence of his presence.

Satisfied that his tracks were sufficiently covered, Orion vanished silently into the shadows, leaving nothing but an inferno in his wake.

***

Walking stealthily back towards the inn, Orion’s brows furrowed deeply in contemplation. He inwardly murmured with frustration, ’Damn it, this turned out troublesome. I gained no useful information. Someone is clearly targeting me now, and someone very strong.’

Lumi, sensing his frustration, spoke softly and cautiously in his mind,

[Master, now we’re in the open and our enemy is in the dark. You must be even more careful from this point onward. If we can’t uncover their identity quickly, we’ll have no choice but to proceed with extreme caution all the time outside our home. Whoever this hidden enemy is, their methods are ruthless enough.]

Orion silently agreed, nodding grimly as he approached the inn. Arriving quietly, he swiftly entered his room.

Upon opening the door, he was instantly met with the sight of little Lyra, still sitting on the large bed, her wide, expectant eyes staring anxiously toward the door.

Seeing Orion step inside, her expression immediately brightened, and she quickly jumped down from the bed, her tiny feet pattering swiftly as she dashed toward him. "Papa, you’re finally back!" she exclaimed joyfully, wrapping her small arms tightly around his leg, burying her little face against his robes.

All the tension in Orion’s heart instantly melted away at Lyra’s innocent face. He gently reached down, pinching her small nose with a gentle smile as he teased softly, "Of course, silly girl. Did you really think I’d run away? Why haven’t you slept yet? It’s already quite late."

Lyra puffed out her cheeks adorably, pouting slightly in a playful yet sincere complaint, "I can’t fall asleep without Papa beside me. I was waiting for you all this time!"

Orion’s heart softened even further, a doting warmth filling his gaze as he knelt down to gently pat her head. He said gently, "Alright, alright. Papa’s sorry, okay? Let’s go sleep now."

Lyra immediately brightened, nodding eagerly. Orion smiled helplessly yet tenderly as he scooped her gently into his arms, carrying her to bed.

Lyra nestled comfortably beside him, closing her eyes peacefully, and soon drifted off into a deep slumber.

Orion gazed gently at her peaceful, sleeping face, his previous tension dissipating. Yet, deep in his heart, a quiet determination remained. ’Whoever you are, daring to plot against me, I will find you,’ he vowed silently. ’You will learn what it means to become my enemy.’

Deep inside his SoC, Lumi looked at him and inwardly muttered, ’Looks like Master is getting more and more affected by his draconic lineages as he gains a deeper mastery. He is becoming more ruthless towards his enemies subconsciously.’

After thinking about it for a while, she threw the thought to the back of her mind, ’Oh well, this is better for him. He can’t be soft against those.’

Orion and Lyra went to sleep peacefully, oblivious to the commotion brewing in the rest of Silverfall City. While they rested without a care in the world, a nightmarish scene unfolded elsewhere in the city.

Deep into the night, fierce, unnatural flames raged uncontrollably, consuming the entire Viscount Bellgrace Manor.

The inferno painted the dark skies crimson and orange, illuminating Silverfall City in an eerie glow visible for miles.

Experts from throughout the city were swiftly alerted, gathering hurriedly around the manor to quell the flames, yet they couldn’t do anything even after using all their powers.

The gathered experts channeled their most powerful water spells, deploying potent mana-infused techniques to extinguish the flames.
