Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 64 [Bonus Chapter] Mighty Combustion



‘Phew’

Leo heaved a sigh of relief when he received the system notification.

“Brother Leo, are you alright?”

On the other hand, Julia was worried about Leo for the whole minute while Leo was enduring the pain.

So, when she saw Leo open his eyes, she asked with a worried look.

“I am alright.”

Leo nodded in a weak voice and checked the information on his newly mutated talent.

‘Ding,

Talent name:- Mighty Combustion (Rank 8).

Effects:- 1) The user can release a heatwave ranging from one meter to 10 kilometers with a single thought.

2) The user can condense the heatwave around his body to create a fireball that will hit a single target within 10 kilometers.

‘What? A new effect?’

Leo didn’t expect there would be a new effect after the mutation.

Generally, a talent has a single effect; however, if the user is skilled and the talent is rare, he could use it to create other effects; however, they will not be much different from the main effect of the talent.

For example, some rare talents like Leo’s [Earth Manipulation] don’t require much skill or experience to create other effects.

It had only one effect: control the earth within a specific radius around Leo.

Using that single effect, Leo could create a mud wall or create an earthquake, or many other things.

Similarly, there were also talents like [Fire Manipulation], [Water Manipilation], [Wind Manipulation], and [Space Manipulation]. However, these are rare and hard to find in humans.

‘With this new effect, [Combustion] almost reached the rarity of those talents.’-.

So, this was why he was surprised to see a new effect for his talent.

‘Moreover, from now on, I don’t have to worry about checking my surroundings before using [Mighty Combustion].’

Since he could blast the individual targets from now on, Leo felt the mutation for his talent was not bad.

‘If a new effect appeared for [Mighty Combustion], I wonder what kind of changes will my [Earth Manipulation] get.’

Leo was looking forward to seeing his [Earth Manipulation] changes.

‘I will eat the fruit to find it.’

Since no more participants came looking, Leo thought to eat the ‘Innate earth elemental fruit’.

‘Roar’

‘Rumble’

However, he started hearing the monsters’ roars and the mutated beasts from a distance.

At the same time, the ground started to shake a little.

“Brother Leo looks like a mutated beast horde is coming in this direction.”

Julia looked in the distance and informed Leo with a happy smile.

After seeing Leo’s battle prowess during their missions in the wilderness, Julia was not worried about some beast horde or a monster horde.

‘I guess it might be one of the old spirit’s schemes.’

Leo revealed a slight smile and stood up from the ground.

Even if it had nothing to do with the old remnant spirit, Leo would only blame the old man for anything that seemed out of the ordinary happening around him.

‘Acho’

Somewhere in the [Treasure land], the old remnant spirit sneezed.

‘I wonder who is thinking about it.’

He stopped floating for a second and checked his surroundings.

‘Whatever, I have to quickly find a way to send him out of my [Treasure land] before he loots the items from the [Gold] section.’

The old remnant spirit didn’t waste any time as he started working on his plans.

‘What perfect timing! Not only can I test my newly mutated talent, but I can also grind some treasure points and ‘Promote points’.

Looking at the large group of monsters in the distance, Leo revealed a slight smile on his face.

‘Ding,

Monster name:- War troll.

Information:- A humanoid monster who likes to wage war against other beings. If they didn’t find other beings, they would wage against themselves.

Note:- They don’t have any intelligence; they are purely driven by their intent to wage war.

‘Huh? This is my first time seeing such a monster.’

Leo checked the information on the monster because he had never seen them before.

‘Who cares? I will grind them.’

Leo stood in front of Julia as he waited for the monster group to enter a 10-kilometer range.

[Mighty Combustion]

He extended his hand and condensed a fireball around the size of a football before releasing it to the monster group.

‘Swoosh’

‘Boom’

‘Swoosh’

‘Boom’

‘Swoosh’

‘Boom’

After releasing one fireball, Leo released a few more fireballs with a different target. In a short time, the incoming monster group was turned entirely into ashes without even getting a chance to retort against Leo.

The fireball landed in the center of the monster group and blasted the entire group.

<The participant killed 1000 rank 4 monster and gained 10000 treasure points>

<The participant killed 400 rank 5 monster and gained 10000 treasure points>

<The participant killed 100 rank 6 monster and gained 5000 treasure points>

Soon, the remnant spirit’s voice resounded in his head, informing him about his gains.

‘This [Mighty Combustion] is much more powerful than I expected.’

Looking at the destructive power of his fireball, Leo was surprised and revealed a satisfied look.

‘However, where are the system notifications and my ‘Promote points’?’

However, in the next second, Leo frowned because he didn’t receive any system notifications or ‘Promote points’.

‘Ding,

The monsters are not real but mere projections.

‘What?’

Leo was shocked as he didn’t expect the monster was not real.

It was not Leo’s fault because they looked too real for a mere projection.

‘So, I will not get any ‘Promote points’?’

‘Ding,

Yes. The talent ‘Talent Promoter’ will only work when the host kills the real monsters or mutated beasts or humans.

‘Hm.’

Leo nodded and thought, ‘If these monsters were not real, then all the monsters and mutated beasts in the [Treasure land] are also not real, right?’

He didn’t have to think much as he understood one thing: he had to go out of the [Treasure land] to see how his new talent [Talent promoter] works.

<The participants shuffling will happen in a few seconds. Please get ready>

Just as Leo understood that all the monsters and mutated beasts in the [Treasure land] were mere projections, an announcement resounded in the entire [Treasure land].

‘Julia, hold my hand.’

Even though death was not real in [Treasure land], Leo didn’t want Julia to get separated from him.

So, he hurriedly held Julia’s hand and disappeared from that place due to a participant reshuffle.

….

‘Swoosh’

Leo and Julia both re-appeared on a mountain top.

“Julia, Brother Leo.”

As soon as they appeared, they heard a familiar voice from a distance.

“Ryan?”

None other than Ryan was supposed to escort Zander and Zola.

Leo was pleasantly surprised to meet his brother.

However, Leo frowned when he checked the surroundings because almost all the surviving participants were on the mountain.

Amy and her group of 15, including the ‘Silent Beasts’ mercenary squad, were standing on the left side.

As for Zen and his group, they were standing on the right side of the mountain.

In front of him was Zander’s group, which was the largest group among the three.

To be more specific, each group was eyeing one another…to be more specific, they were eyeing the treasure points hovering about the participants’ heads.

‘Swoosh’

Suddenly, the old remnant spirit appeared in mid-air, surprising everyone.

“Because of a participant, I decided to host the penultimate round for you.”

He didn’t waste time and directly said, “In this round, all your talents will be temporarily sealed. The last one standing alive on this mountain top will enter the final round and win a million points.”
