Talent Swallowing Hero

‘What the….’

‘How did he kill them all in such a short span?’

‘He even has the third talent?’

‘Also, is his cultivation truly rank 5?’

The old remnant spirit observing Leo for the entire time was shocked to see Leo displaying the third talent to blast more than 15 participants.

Previously, he saw Leo use [Earth manipulation] to create a mud wall in a fight against Lexx.

At the same time, Leo also used [Teleportation] talent and the old remnant spirit that Leo was a little bit lucky to have two rare talents.

However, earlier, when he saw Leo use [Combustion], he was shocked.

From the old man’s perspective, having three talents was not rare because he had seen a lot of people with three talents in his life; however, having three rare and powerful talents was not something he had seen.

‘Why do these three powerful rank 7 young heroes call him ‘Master’?’

Suddenly, he saw the ‘Ethereal blades’ trio call Leo ‘Master’ with a respectful tone, making his jaw drop.

‘H-how did he know that death is not real in the [Treasure land]?’

Soon, he heard Leo explaining the ‘Death’ in the [Treasure land] and was shocked.

‘Who is he exactly?’

The old remnant spirit became curious about Leo’s identity when looking at Leo.

‘Whatever, I don’t care who he is. I need to stop him from taking all the treasures from the [Treasure room].’

Even though he was curious about Leo’s identity, the order left by his original body was much more important to him._-.

Because the old remnant spirit was careless and promised an unreasonable request, he had to make it right.

‘However, those same orders stop me from sending him out of the [Treasure land], and I have to do everything by rules.’

Whether it was a [God ruins] or a [Treasure land], the remnant spirits in them should follow the rules.

Even though they were invincible inside their domains, they could not kick someone out of their territory.

‘Since I can’t do anything to him directly, I can only bring the extreme levels a little early.’

Once again, the old remnant spirit revealed an evil smile that didn’t befit the spirit.

….

Outside the [Treasure land],

“Leo…you will not believe what you see after coming out of the [Treasure land]. I am going to take my revenge on you.”

Dario was pleasantly surprised to see he was not dead; instead, he was just teleported out of the [Treasure land].

His first thought after coming out was to take revenge on Leo.

“Those useless mercenaries, they did nothing and watched me get killed.”

At the same time, he cursed the ‘Ethereal Blade’ trio.

‘Swoosh’

However, in the next second, he saw a trio appear in front of him out of thin air.

“Are we still alive?”

“Good…once he comes out, we can take good care of him.”

The trio acted surprised and thought of taking revenge on Leo without looking at Dario intentionally.

‘Huh?’

Dario frowned; however, soon, he revealed a smile and asked, “Are you talking about Leo?”

….

Inside the [Treasure land],

As for Leo, he didn’t know that the old remnant spirit was cooking for some devious schemes to kick him out of the [Treasure land].

Currently, he was excited to awaken his new special talent.

‘Let’s check how it promotes my other talents.’

Even though the mirror said that it would help upgrade his other talents, it didn’t say the exact method.

Instead, it only mentioned the talent would use a ‘Unique Method’.

So, Leo was curious about the ‘Unique Method’.

‘Ding,

Talent name:- Talent Promoter (Level 1).

Talent Grade:- Special.

Effect:- Whenever the host kills a monster or mutated beast or a human, this talent collects ‘Promote points’, which can be used to upgrade the host’s other talents.

Note:- At the current level, the host can only upgrade the Basic class talents from level 1 to level 3.

Current promote points:- 0.

Talents promoted:- 0/1.

Note:- At the current level, it can only promote one talent.

‘Oh. So, I need to kill to upgrade my other talents? However, I can only upgrade Basic class talents for now and only one talent at that.’

Leo felt killing was not the problem as he could live his entire life killing either humans or monsters or mutated beasts.

However, the limitations of the talent were a little heavy.

‘It’s expected for the special talents to have such limitations at low levels.’

Leo was not disappointed with his new talent; instead, he was looking forward to seeing high-level talent in the future where there should be no limitations.

‘I need to upgrade this talent.’

It was common knowledge that the higher the level of the talent, the better the effects would be.

Moreover, he bought the ‘Basic talent upgrading stones’ from the [Treasure room]. So, he decided to upgrade it to see how the effects of the talent would change.

‘Ding,

The basic talent upgrading stones can’t upgrade the special talents like ‘Talent Promoter’.

Just as Leo planned to swallow the basic talent upgrading stone, he received a system notification that stopped his actions.

‘Huh?’

It was Leo’s first time hearing an upgrade stone doesn’t work on talent; however, he understood when he thought about the talent grade.

‘I have to promote one talent to increase its experience. I should go and kill some monsters and mutated beasts.’

Since the participants would be teleported out of the [Treasure land], Leo guessed he would not get any ‘Promote points’. So, he decided to move his muscles a little and see how his new talent worked.

“Brother Leo, you killed them all?”

Julia slowly looked out behind the tree and saw Leo was alone. So, she hurriedly rushed towards him and asked him.

“Yes.”

Leo nodded his head and silently thought, ‘This girl might be thinking I am a cold-hearted monster after seeing me kill so many participants today.’

‘However, I can’t tell her that the death is not real in the [Treasure land] as I plan to do something.’

Earlier, when he realized that fact after killing Lexx, Loe started thinking of using it to his advantage and found a few things.

Among those things, there were a couple of things related to Julia. So, he wanted to let her remain in the dark.

“Sigh…I thought I could convince them; however, they tried to kill you when they saw your treasure points.”

Julia shook her head, and she knew the participants would not listen to her words anymore.

“Don’t worry. It’s just human greed.”

Looking at ‘0’ on Julia’s head, Leo shook his head.

“I have enough treasure points to enter the [Treasure room]. I will go and spend everything. At least, then I will be low-key.”

Even though Leo would be killing whoever comes at him, the high number of treasure points above his head would attract all the participants, including those who don’t have many treasure points.

So, Leo decided to enter the [Treasure room] as he had already gained access to the [Silver] section.

“Don’t worry about me, Brother Leo. Looking at this, no one would come near me.”

Pointing at ‘0’ above her head, Julia smiled.

“Haha…true.”

That was also why Leo was not worried about leaving Julia alone.

‘I wonder what items are waiting inside the [Silver] section.’

‘Swoosh’

With a thought, Leo disappeared from his place and appeared in the empty room.

‘Click’

Without wasting any time, he selected the [Silver] section.

‘Swoosh’

Soon, items appeared in the mirror, making Leo pleasantly surprised.

‘Looks like my talents will undergo some changes.’
