Talent Swallowing Hero

The 100 flaming lions surrounding Leo’s group growled at them and were ready to jump at them at any moment.

“You…what are you trying to do? Why did you activate the regional formation?”

After hearing Minister Ren’s words, the flaming lions in charge of the ‘region formation’ activated it, making Fury anxious.

He hurriedly asked Minister Ren, “Deactivate the formation right away.”

“I have never seen you anxious before. So, you do know how to be anxious?”

Seeing the anxious Flaming Lion King, Minster Ren could not help but feel excited.

The regional formation, as the name suggests, is a formation that surrounds the entire region that stops anyone from either entering or exiting that particular region.

“Also, my son and I are not beggars to take a position that you and your son left. We know how to take it.”

Even though Fury was willing to give his position as the King of the Flaming Lions, Minister Ren became even more furious with that.

Why would he take a position left by his younger brother when he had the power to take it by force?

Because of his pride, Minister Ren wanted to take that position by killing Fury and his son Lionel._-.

“Brother, it is dangerous to use the regional formation so carelessly. We have to spend years to recharge the formation.”

Fury was not worried that he was trapped inside the regional formation; instead, he was worried that they would have to spend a lot of resources and time to recover and repair the formation.

“Beastnet is full of resources, and as the new king of the Flaming Lions, I will use them to repair and recover the formation. So, there is no need to worry about it.”

Even though Minister Ren was taking care of the things in Emberfields for decades, he didn’t know how costly it would be to repair because it was never broken.

As for recharging it, Minister Ren felt he could use the resources in the Beastnet to recharge it easily. So, he didn’t bother about it.

“Brother, your actions will lead to the destruction of our region. I will say this one last time; if you don’t deactivate the formation, I will have no choice but to kill you.”

Fury’s eyes were filled with disappointment when he saw Minster Ren as he finally became serious.

No matter how close they were in the past if his older brother wanted to kill him, his son and even put the entire flaming lion race in danger, Fury had no other choice than to kill Minister Ren.

Before that, Fury gave one last warning to his older brother as fiery red-coloured flames shot out of his body.

“Haha…my dear younger brother. Do you really think I will go against you if I am not prepared?”

Fury was known as the strongest beast hero in the entire Beastnet. Moreover, in the entire world, if someone knows thoroughly about Fury, it would be his older Brother Ren.

Therefore, Minister Ren had already made enough preparations when he decided to go against his young brother.

“Human, can you take care of Lionel?”

Even though Leo was only a rank 9 human hero, Fury was willing to leave his son in his care.

Not only did Leo have brains, but he also had a Bestial Ruler as his follower.

Fury wanted to give his son to the level 4 supreme-ranked flaming lions he used to trust; however, after witnessing Minister Ren’s real intentions, Fury no longer trusted anyone.

“Leave it to me.”

Leo was waiting to see the fight between two powerful supreme-ranked beast heroes from the moment he entered the Beastnet.

Finally, he was going to witness the battle. Therefore, he didn’t mind taking care of Lionel.

‘Moreover, I am still waiting for the Flaming Lion King to reward me for protecting his son.’

With that thought in mind, Leo held the lion cub in his arms.

“Shall we begin the fight?”

After entrusting his son to Leo, Fury’s body’s flames turned even fiery as he asked Minister Ren whether he was ready to fight.

“Haha…my dead little brother, you are always as hot-blooded as you are when you are young.”

However, Minster Ren didn’t show any intentions of fighting; instead, he mocked Fury.

‘Huh?’

Fury frowned when he saw Minister Ren’s confidence and thought, ‘Where is his confidence coming from?’

“Flaming Lion Guardian, it is time for you to wake up from your slumber and kill the traitor.”

Amidst Fury’s confusion, Minister Ren bit his paw and dropped blood drops on a red-coloured orb before shouting out loud.

“Roar”

As soon as Minister Ren finished his words, a heaven-defying roar resounded in the entire Emberfields as a huge transparent flaming lion appeared before Minister Ren.

‘What? Guardian? Didn’t the flaming lion guardian die during the last world assessment?’

The Flaming Lion King was shocked at the appearance of the Flaming Lion Guardian because he had witnessed the death of his race’s guardian during the world assessment.

The four bestial races were able to become the rulers of the Beastnet for a reason: the Guardians.

Each bestial race had a Guardian before the world assessment; however, they had to sacrifice themselves to pass the world assessment, and the result was Beastnet becoming a grade 1 world.

However, who would have thought that the Flaming Lion Guardian was still alive.

‘Damn it…did it recognize that b*stard?’

For some reason, the Flaming Lion Guardian didn’t attack the Flaming Lion King, making Minister Ren frown; however, he shouted, “Flaming Lion Guardian, kill that traitor.”

‘Swoosh’

Soon, the Flaming Lion Guardian’s eyes turned fiery red as it jumped at Fury with a fiery [Claw Strike].

‘Swoosh’

“Guardian, it’s me, Fury, the Flaming Lion King.”

Fury dodged it and revealed his identity, hoping the guardian would recognize him.

“Roar”

[Flamethrower]

However, what he got in reply was an angry roar followed by a powerful fire attack.

“Guardian, since you can’t stop attacking me, you leave me with no choice.”

In the next second, the red-coloured flames around Fury turned black as he became serious about taking down the Flaming Lion Guardian.
