Talent Swallowing Hero

Naga’s territory is one of the four territories in the Wilderness of the Beastnet that was filled with all types of serpents.

Since Leo had an advantage over the snake-type beasts and monsters because of his weapon skill, ‘Ancestor Snake Manifestation’, he was to use it and see how powerful it was.

Soon, Leo and Skye reached a place that was filled with violent winds.

‘Swoosh’

Amidst the violent winds, a group of serpents came out of nowhere and attacked him at lightning speed.

However, how could Leo let them attack him?

When venturing into the wilderness, a hunter should always maintain his guard as danger might come from any direction and in any form.

[Earth Manipulation – Earth Hand]

A considerable hand formed from earth came out of the ground and caught all the serpents that flew at him.

‘Crush them.’

With a simple command, the earth hands crushed the serpents.

‘Ding,

The host killed eight rank 7 thunder nagas.

‘Thunder Nagas?’

Seeing the name of the serpents he killed, Leo suddenly thought of something.

‘Should I devour these Thunder Nagas and awaken their talents and skills along with the Winder Serpents?’_-.

It was known that the talents and skills related to the lightning and thunder elements have high damaging power. So it was even more than the fire-related attack-type talents and skills.

So, Leo could not help but decide to farm the Thunder Nagas along with the Wind Serpents.

‘No…let’s focus on getting a good wind-type talent.’

Even though it was good to have the lightning and thunder-type talents, Leo didn’t want to divert from his primary goal.

There were multiple reasons why he entered the wilderness; however, there were only three main reasons. They are:

1) To get multiple talents, especially a special wind-type talent.

2) To upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7 as Leo hoped it would help him upgrade the talents to level 9.

3) To use all the skills and talents gained through [Absolute Devour] that were stuck at level 8.

As for the other reasons, they were to increase the potential of the [Earth Manipulation], [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] along with farming a lot of [Promote Points].

“Sir Leo, the Wind Sperents live in that canyon.”

Skye pointed at a canyon in the distance and informed Leo about the location of the Wind Serpents.

[Absolute Devour]

He devoured the corpses of the Thunder Nagas and decided to enter it.

“However, I suggest you do not enter that canyon because the winds inside that canyon were even more violent that might tear your body apart.”

Just as Leo took a couple of steps, the flaming lion stopped him.

The flaming lion was shocked to see the devil’s mouth on Leo’s left palm; however, he suppressed his shock and hurriedly said about the violent winds in the canyon.

‘Even though the winds in this canyon look powerful, I don’t think they can do anything to me.’

Leo walked to the edge and looked at the violent winds in the canyon.

It was not that he was being arrogant and overconfident; instead, he felt those violent winds could not do anything to him because of his level 8 skill [Wind Resistance].

Just as he thought about entering the canyon, Leo suddenly had an idea and asked Skye, “You said the Wind Serpents are greedy b*stards, right?”

“Yes, Sir Leo. Almost all the snakes in the Beastnet are known for their greediness. Among them, the Wind Serpents have the number one.”

“Good to know. I know how to bring them out of the canyon.”

Even though he could kill all of the Wind Serpents below the Supreme rank with his [Mighty Combustion – Radius Blast], he avoided it for multiple reasons.

‘Not only the Wind Serpents will turn into ashes, but my chances to use the level 8 talents and skills will also decrease.’

Therefore, he decided to lure the Wind Seperents out of the canyon.

‘Moreover, I am at a good place to massacre them.’

Since Leo was standing above the canyon, he could easily kill the Wind Serpents that came out of the canyon.

“Skye, step back.”

First, he asked the flaming lion to step back and took out the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit from his [Portable Dimensional Space].

‘Hiss’

As soon as Leo took out the fruit, he heard the hissing sounds from the canyon.

“If you want this Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit, come out and take it.”

After letting the Wind Serpents sense the fruit, Leo moved away from the canyon while shouting out loud.

‘Hiss’

“Bring that fruit to me.”

An excited voice resounded in the canyon as thousands of Wind Serpents of all sizes flew out of the canyon.

“Sir Leo, it is the voice of the Wind Serpent King. It looks like the scent of the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit has triggered them. Be careful.”

From behind, the flaming lion hurriedly asked Leo to be careful that the King of the Wind Serpents had awakened.

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

To Syke’s surprise, Leo revealed a cold smile as he looked at the incoming Wind Serpents, whose strength varied from rank 4 to rank 9.

In Leo’s view, the higher the strength of the Wind Serpent, the higher his chances of getting the special talents required to upgrade [Talent Promoter].

‘Hiss’

The average length of the Wind Serpent was around three meters long, and the sides of the serpent had something that looked like gills; however, it was from head to tail.

It was because of these gills these Wind Serpents were able to fly in the air.

[Earth Manipulation – Earthen Walls]

Since he was trying to increase the potential of the [Earth Manipulation], Leo used it even though it was unnecessary.

Soon, the walls made up of earth rose from the ground, creating multiple paths to the canyon.

Each earth wall was equally spaced, and the incoming serpents separated between the earth walls.

[Mad Bull]

[Head Bash]

[Metal Claw]

[Water Blade]

[Earth Manipulation – Earth Spikes]

Soon, he started farming his level 8 skills in the earthen compartments he created and massacred the Wind Serpents he trapped.

‘Ding,

The host killed 1000 rank 6 water serpents.

‘Ding,

The host killed 500 rank 7 water serpents.

‘Ding,

The host killed 98 rank 9 water serpents.

.

.

.

The system notifications rang in Leo’s head as he killed them with a calm and nonchalant look.

Even though the corpses of the Wind Serpents were piling up on the ground, Leo was not interested in consuming them…at least for now.

‘My goal is to devour the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents.’

He was waiting for the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents to come out of the canyon.

“Supreme-ranked serpents, why aren’t you going to bring that fruit to me?”

Once again, the voice resounded in the canyon, and in the next second, more than a dozen level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked water serpents came out of the canyon.

Along with them, they brought nearly a hundred thousand water serpents whose strength varied from rank 4 to rank 9.

“Excellent…they are finally here.”

Looking at the huge Wind Serpents that came out of the canyon, Leo revealed a slight smile as he stopped fighting and summoned his [Arcane Silver].
