Talent Swallowing Hero

Unlike the other rank 9 water spiders, it was a little smaller. Also, on its blackish blue-coloured body, it had purple lines. However, the scariest thing about this water spider was the sharp needles all over its body.

‘Huh? Where did he go?’

However, there was no trace of Leo when it swam to where Leo had fallen in the water.

“Looks like that human abandoned you…keke.”

Looking at the lion cub struggling in the water, the special spider eerily chuckled before picking it out of the water with its long blade-like leg.

“Everyone, surround the entire area and search. After getting pierced by my [Sleep Inducing Darts], his body will become unconscious soon.”

Even though he didn’t find Leo, the special spider was not worried they would escape.

Instead, it was calm and ordered the rank 9 water spiders to surround the area and search for him.

“As for this Heir, take good care of him. He needs to be alive for our plan to succeed.”

Soon, it threw the lion cub at one of the rank 9 water spiders before looking for Leo.

“Yes, Captain.”

All the rank 9 water spiders respectfully acknowledged the special water spider and started searching for Leo in the water.

“I caught you once and I will catch you again at any cost…Keke.”_-.

With its usual eerie chuckle, the Spider Captain muttered to himself.

…

Inside Leo’s secret dimension space,

‘Ding,

The host is affected by [Sleep Inducing Poison].

‘Ding,

The host will soon fall into a deep sleep within a minute for five minutes.

‘Ding,

The host’s passive talent [Poison Resistance] is triggered. As a result, the effects of the [Sleep Inducing Poison] will be reduced by 50 percent.

The moment Leo fell into the water, he entered his secret dimension space because he felt weak all over his body.

If he gets captured in his current state, it might be a problem for him to escape from the water spiders the second time.

Previously, they were fooled by his fake strength of level 6 Hero; however, after killing nearly 100 rank 9 water spiders within a few minutes, will they use the same cage and same level of security to imprison him.

Since he could not bring the living creatures into his secret dimension space, he could not leave the lion outside.

‘Judging from what the lion cub has told me, the water spiders will not kill him.’

Nevertheless, he was sure the water spiders would not kill the lion cub.

‘Thanks to the skill [Poison resistance], I can wake up even before getting kicked out of the secret dimension space.’

Leo had already seen the system notifications and knew he would fall asleep in less than a minute.

However, he was not worried about getting kicked out of his secret dimension space while asleep because he could stay inside that space for five minutes.

After killing the Wyvern King, Leo was lucky enough to awaken two more skills by continuously devouring the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts.

‘Ding,

Skill Name: Poison Resistance (Level 6).

Skill Type: Passive.

Effect: The user has 50 percent resistance to all types of poisons.

‘Ding,

Skill Name: Silver skin (Level 6).

Skill Type: Active

Effect: After activating this skill, a thin silver layer forms around the user’s body, increasing the user’s defence by 50 percent.

Even though they were not top-notch skills, they were useful in their way, like how the [Poison Resistance] helped him reduce the effects of the [Sleep Inducing Poison] by half.

‘Before I fall asleep, let’s check the strength of this purple-striped water spider.’

Leo forcefully opened his eyes and checked the information on the Spider Captain.

‘Ding,

Beast name: Purple-striped Water Spider (Mutated).

Strength: Level 1 Supreme beast.

Talent: Can’t be detected.

Skills: Can’t be detected.

Note: The host’s strength is not enough to check the full information of the beast.

Other than the beast’s name and strength, the remaining sections were not detected because he was not a supreme-ranked hero.

‘As I expected, it is a Supreme-ranked beast.’

The only reason why Leo was too late in dodging the poison darts was because of the beast’s strength.

‘I should kill this b*stard before he releases his poison darts.’

Soon, Leo felt his eyelids become heavy as he fell asleep.

…..

Time continued to pass, and 150 seconds passed in a flash as Leo woke up from his deep sleep.

‘Ugh…I need to upgrade my [Poison Resistance] to level 8 soon to gain more resistance.’

After waking up from sleep, Leo decided to focus on the [Poison Resistance].

‘Anyway, I will leave from here first and make my move after he leaves.’

Even though Leo swore to kill the Purple striped water spider, he knew he couldn’t kill a supreme-ranked monster in a single attack unless he received some external help.

Therefore, he moved far from the place searched by the water spiders with the help of his secret dimension space.

Soon, he secretly followed the water spider carrying the lion cub.

That’s right! He didn’t forget about the mission.

Even though the mission was dangerous, Leo was sure that he could complete it without any problems.

…..

Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a flash; however, the water spiders’ search for Leo was useless as they didn’t find any traces of Leo in the water.

“Where did you go?”

The Purple striped water spider frowned for not finding Leo even after searching for an hour.

Earlier, he was confident he could easily catch Leo; however, that confidence disappeared.

“Child, there is no need to search for him anymore.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice resounded in the entire region, “The other Captains and Generals are waiting for you. Come to the meeting den.”

“B…but”

The Purple striped water spider wanted to say something; however, after thinking for a moment, it nodded, “Yes, mother. I will join them in a few minutes.”

“Don’t stop searching for that human until I return. I want him either alive or dead.”

After ordering the rank 9 water spiders, the Purple striped water spider left from there.
