Orion exhaled softly, a faint grin lingering on his face as he shook his head in playful resignation.
Lumi’s new "Limitless Arena Mode" certainly seemed appealing, yet it was far beyond his current SP reserves. With a quiet chuckle, Orion stretched leisurely before finally moving toward the door.
He was eager to test the Limitless Ascension Field, intrigued by Lumi’s confident proclamations about its effectiveness.
The door swung open smoothly, revealing the familiar area of the Helstorm Estate’s hallway. Sunlight filtered gently through the windows lining the corridors, painting warm golden patterns across the polished wooden floors.
Orion walked calmly, his footsteps echoing softly amidst the peaceful stillness of the mansion. Servants and staff occasionally crossed his path, giving respectful nods or smiles, clearly pleased to see their young master back on his feet again.
Reaching the large training hall, Orion quietly pushed open the heavy wooden doors, stepping confidently inside.
Taking a deep breath, Orion found a suitable spot in the middle of the hall, ensuring he had ample space to move freely.
With a thought, he summoned both his trusted Realm Guardian and the lightweight Windsteel Blade from his inventory. The familiar hilts settled comfortably into his hands, their presence immediately calming him and sharpening his focus.
’Alright, Lumi,’ he mentally commanded, determination bright in his eyes, ’activate the Limitless Ascension Field.’
[Aye aye, Master! Activating the Limitless Ascension Field—10-meter radius for 100 SP! Let’s goooo~ (。•̀ᴗ-)✧]
Almost instantly, Orion felt a subtle but distinct shift in the atmosphere around him. A gentle wave of invisible energy expanded rapidly outward, forming an intangible dome precisely ten meters in radius, centered on Orion himself.
Within this invisible boundary, the ambient mana seemed clearer, denser, and more responsive, while Orion’s perception sharpened significantly.
His body felt lighter, stronger, and far more coordinated, each subtle movement now controlled effortlessly by heightened clarity.
"Impressive..." Orion murmured appreciatively, flexing his hands around the sword hilts. He adopted the foundational dual-sword stance he had envisioned countless times in his Sea of Consciousness.
Almost immediately, he noticed the difference; his body adjusted fluidly, smoothly aligning itself with the imagined forms and stances.
Orion began his practice in earnest, his dual blades weaving gracefully through the air. Initially slow and deliberate, his movements quickly accelerated as confidence and understanding grew exponentially.
Each swing, parry, and feint came more naturally than before, the swords rapidly becoming extensions of his own body. He could feel his comprehension deepening rapidly, each tiny adjustment cementing itself firmly within his muscle memory.
Minutes passed quickly, lost entirely in intense concentration as he honed every minor detail of his dual swordsmanship.
As time continued, Orion felt excitement surge within his chest, his rapid improvements becoming blatantly obvious.
Techniques he once anticipated might take weeks or even months to master were now coming together effortlessly within mere minutes, his efficiency amplified dramatically by the Ascension Field.
The swords hummed gently through the air, reflecting flashes of sunlight off their polished surfaces as Orion’s movements became more refined, powerful, and graceful.
Before he even realized it, he had smoothly integrated several advanced forms into his dual-wielding repertoire, completing routines he previously found challenging with effortless precision.
His blades moved faster and with greater clarity, each strike precise, deliberate, and to the point. The combination of speed, power, and control Orion now exhibited easily surpassed his previous expectations by miles.
Eventually, Orion slowed to a stop, chest heaving lightly with exertion as a satisfied smile curved his lips. He released a long breath, feeling incredibly energized by his remarkable progress.
[Lumi’s impressed~! Master improved super quickly!]
Lumi’s cheerful voice echoed excitedly in his mind, clearly pleased.
