Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 279 [Bonus chapter] Goliath Tower



Without wasting any time, Leo landed on the ground and summoned, ‘Ancient Goliath King, why don’t you try entering the gateway?’

That’s right! This was the idea that Leo got when he was about to fly away.

Since his Goliath might be an undead being, it still belongs to the Goliath race, and what’s more, it has become sentient recently.

“Yes, master.”

The undead Goliath nodded and walked into the gate without any issue.

‘It really worked.’

Seeing that his undead summon had successfully entered the gateway, Leo became excited and thought, ‘I wonder whether it counts as the completion of the mission.’

Even though Leo didn’t enter the gateway, it was his undead summon who entered. So, Leo wondered whether it could be considered as the completion of the mission.

‘Ding,

It is not considered as the completion of the mission. The host has to enter the gateway personally.

‘It looks like only my undead Goliath could meet the powerful existence on the other side of the Gateway.’

Leo looked at the colossal devil beast that was madly rushing towards him just like always; however, he didn’t bother to fight it and entered the [Secret Dimensional Space] to take some rest.

…..

On the other side of the gateway,

The environment on the other side of the gateway was completely different from what it was outside.

It was filled with a devilish aura, and the sky was blood red as though it was dyed with blood from countless beings.

The Ancient Goliath King followed Leo’s orders, followed the single pathway, and soon reached a tower with three floors.

‘To..wer’

Even though the Ancient Goliath King gained sentience, it was still not enough for him to understand everything.

The Ancient Goliath King muttered to himself, looking at the huge tower with a face full of confusion.

‘Tower?’

Leo, who was waiting for some kind of response from the Ancient Goliath King, raised his brows.

Even though he could not see what the Ancient Goliath King was seeing inside the so-called sacred ground, Leo could maintain the connection with him so that he could talk to his undead summon.

‘Try entering it.’

Leo didn’t know what kind of tower the Goliath had encountered; however, he was not worried much about Goliath’s death.

It was because after Goliath received sentience, Leo could revive it even after its death after one day. Of course, every time it revives, its strength decreases.

‘Yes, master.’

Goliath received the command from Leo, searched for the tower’s entrance, and tried to open the door.

However, even with his strength, Goliath could not push it open.

‘Swoosh’

Just when it was about to ask for help from Leo on opening the door, a projection appeared before him that unconsciously made Goliath enter into a defensive stance.

The projection belongs to a muscular goliath whose skin was blood-red as though he had been soaking in a pool of blood for years.

<Childe, you are inside my sacred ground and want to fight me?>

The projection of the red goliath spoke to Goliath with a loving look in his eyes.

“You…your….sac…red….gr…ound?”

Goliath gained sentience a few days back and could not speak properly. So, he stuttered while speaking to the red goliath.

<Yes. I am the remnant spirit of the Blood Goliath. I was lucky enough to encounter a fortuitous encounter that increased my strength by multiple ranks after the supreme rank.>

The Blood Goliath was both proud and sad at the same time.

He was proud to become very powerful; however, he was sad to leave behind his world and could not even protect it or help it with its world assessment.

‘Blood Goliath? A fortuitous encounter that made a level 1 supreme ranked hero and cultivator become a god?’

As the Blood Goliath was narrating his story to Leo’s undead Goliath, Leo was patiently listening to it and soon, he was shocked to learn that he became a God overnight.

‘What kind of fortuitous encounter could make someone into a God?’

Leo was shocked; however, he continued to listen to the Blood Goliath to learn about the Sacred Ground.

<Even though you don’t have my bloodline, you have the traces of an equally powerful bloodline; however, it is not awakened yet. If you can complete the trials in this tower, not only will I help you unlock your bloodline, but I will give some good rewards depending on how many halls and floors you will clear in this tower>

Pointing at the tower behind him, the Blood Goliath asked, <Since you came all the way down here, you want to enter it, right? Do you want to enter it?>

‘Ask about Sacred Ground.’

On the other hand, Leo was a little surprised to see that and gave orders to the Goliath to enter the tower; before that, he ordered him to ask about the Sacred Ground.

“Wh…at….is….sacred….ground?”

Goliath asked the Blood Goliath without wasting time.

<You don’t know about Sacred Ground but still entered it? Interesting>

The blood goliath was surprised a bit and replied,

<A Sacred Ground is a place where all the powerful Goliaths of this world left their inheritances for the younger generation. Since you can enter this Sacred Grounds, you are less than 25 years old. Not bad, you have already reached peak rank 9 and are only one step away from becoming a supreme-ranked being>

<As long as you become a supreme-ranked being, you can start the devil cultivation, and you can compete with other young goliaths for the role of becoming the King of this world>

If there were any other Goliath instead of the Ancient Goliath King, they would have been excited and jumped in joy; however, the Ancient Goliath King’s sentience was not mature enough to understand those things yet.

‘So, it is a place that was filled with inheritances.’

Finally, Leo learned about the Sacred Ground, and his interest in entering the Sacred Ground decreased by a lot.

‘However, it would be quite beneficial for my Ancient Goliath King who gained sentience.’

Nevertheless, Leo decided to guide the Ancient Goliath King on the sacred ground.

Since his undead goliath could awaken new talents and learn cultivation techniques, Leo decided to help him inside the Sacred Ground.

‘Enter the tower.’

Soon, he started guiding the goliath, who asked the Blood Goliath if he was ready to enter the tower.

<By the way, what is your name?>

“Na…me?….Gredor”

Leo came up with a name on the spot for the Ancient Goliath King.

<Gredor? Before entering the Goliath Tower, let me give you a piece of brief information about the tower>

The blood goliath thought of something as he soon explained a few things about the Goliath Tower.

<There are three floors in the Goliath Tower. There are ten halls on the first floor, whereas the second floor has only three. As for the top floor, there is only one hall>

<After completion of each floor, you will get a reward depending on your performance, and if you fail to defeat the hall guardians, you will die>

<Therefore, if you want to leave the Sacred Ground, you can do it now. Afterwards, it would be too late to go back>

“I…am ready.”
