Talent Swallowing Hero

‘What?’

‘Sealing our talents?’

‘Killing each other with our sealed talents?’

When the participants heard the old remnant spirit’s words, everyone was shocked.

‘Old man, you are not hiding your intent anymore.’

As everyone became anxious, Leo looked at the old remnant spirit, which was already looking at Leo with an evil smile.

“What happens if we don’t fight among ourselves?”

Like always, Zander raised his voice against the old spirit, acting as a leader of all the participants.

“Let’s see whether it will happen or not…Haha.”

The old man was quite happy because he knew Leo would be eliminated in this round.

‘I don’t care about the other participants. As long as a single participant is alive, it is enough for me.’

This so-called penultimate round was supposed to happen after the participants cleared the items from the [God section].

However, the old remnant spirit decided to bring forth that round to kick out Leo from the [Treasure land] because he didn’t want Leo to steal another one of his treasures.

‘Swoosh’_-.

Soon, the old remnant spirit disappeared without wasting any more time.

‘I have to do something before Dominic and others do something that might mess up our goals.’

Since everyone in the [Treasure land] still believes that the ‘Death is real’ in the [Treasure land], Leo knew Dominic and others might go on a killing spree, including the one who hired them.

Leo didn’t want that to happen and hurriedly thought of something.

“Everyone, let’s not kill each other since lives are more valuable than mere treasures.”

As everyone was still waiting for someone to start the attack, Leo walked forward with a calm look.

“Yes. Brother Leo is right.”

Zander frowned at Leo’s words; however, he agreed with Leo before asking, “So, what do you suggest we should do?”

Since Zander had read Leo’s information, he knew Leo got wits. So, he asked Leo with a calm look.

“Let’s have a fair duel, and the winner gets the loser’s treasure points. What do you say?”

Leo revealed a slight smile on his cold face.

“In the end, there will be a single winner who accumulates all the treasure points. I think it will be enough to access the [Treasure room].”

Zander finished Leo’s words, and he agreed with them, along with his entire group.

“The Ambermane family has no problem with competition.”

Surprisingly, Zen was the first one to agree with Leo’s plan.

Because if they started killing each other, his mercenaries might kill him.

Dominic and Mikhael looked quite strong, even with the sealed talent, and he was afraid to die in their hands.

“The Icefeather family also didn’t have any problem with that plan.”

Amy didn’t like unnecessary killings, even if it meant getting rewarded generously. So, she didn’t hesitate to agree to Leo’s plan.

“Good.”

Leo nodded after seeing the response from the three groups.

‘Even though everyone is looking righteous, they are just scared to die, and at the same time, they are planning how to take all the treasure points for themselves.’

Leo knew no one in this world is righteous, and each looks after their own.

“Since there are 60 of us, how should we conduct the competition?”

There was no time limit for this round. So, they decided to plan for the competition with the surviving 60 participants.

Initially, around 250 young heroes entered the [Treasure land]; however, right now, only 60 participants are remaining.

Most of the participants were either killed by monsters and mutated beasts or in the hands of other participants like Leo.

“Since you already formed groups, why don’t you transfer all your treasure points to the strongest one in your group?”

Since everyone had already taken the bait, Leo knew his plan would be successful.

“Excellent. Brother Leo, you are really intelligent.”

Zander felt his father had overestimated Leo’s abilities; however, seeing how calm and composed Leo was and how fast he could come up with fast solutions, he felt Leo deserved his father’s praises.

“From the City leader’s group, I will be the participant.”

In the next second, Zander selected himself as the city leader’s group participant, and soon the remaining 29 members in his group sent all their treasure points to him.

‘Oh. He only needs 100000 treasure points to access the [Gold section].’

Leo was surprised to see the treasure points of the city leader’s group, which were relatively high.

“From the Ambermane family, we select Dominic.”

“From the Icefeather family, Blake will fight.”

Soon, the two family groups also selected their strongest members who were good at martial arts.

Since the old remnant spirit sealed their talents, they could only rely on hand-to-hand combat. Also, Dominic and Blake were the mercenaries known for their body transformation talent and had a lot of battle experience in the wilderness.

“There are four participants, including me. I am very confident in my battle skills. So, why don’t I fight you three guys one by one and defeat you?”

Leo started his words with a slight smile; however, he had an arrogant smile that made Zander frown by the end.

“Brother Leo, I know you are powerful with your two rare talents; however, your words sound quite arrogant.”

Zander scoffed at Leo and wanted to teach him a lesson.

“I want to fight him and see what he is made of?”

Before Zander could take a couple of steps toward Leo to teach him a lesson, the muscular mercenary Blake rushed towards Leo at a reasonable speed.

“Die”

Blake threw a powerful punch at Leo, which was quite fast.

‘Swoosh’

“Baldy, you got nice muscles; however, they are useless against me.”

However, Leo casually took a back step and dodged Blake’s punch easily.

“How dare you call me ‘Baldy’?”

Suddenly, Blake became furious, and his muscles bulged.

“I am going to kill you today.”

As soon as he finished his words, Blade threw a series of powerful punches at Leo, whereas Leo was continuously dodging them by either taking a back step or a side step.

“Playtime is over. Let’s wrap this up.”

In the next second, Leo didn’t take either a back step or a side-step; instead, he took a front step.

‘Your acting has improved a lot, Baldy.’

‘Thanks, Boss.’

They exchanged a few words in a barely audible voice in a split second.

After exchanging the words, Leo slightly inched his body sideways to dodge the oncoming punch and gave an uppercut that made Blake fly into the air.
