Talent Swallowing Hero

Time continued to pass, and in a flash that day where Leo’s 21-day stay in the Beastnet had finally come to an end.

In the previously called Naga territory, some new monsters have arrived after Leo killed all the snakes.

Even though the newly arrived monsters were not snake-type, Leo killed and devoured them all.

[Absolute Devour].

He devoured the last supreme-ranked beast in the territory and stretched his body a little.

‘Phew…I have gained quite a number of [Promote Points], talents, and skills.’

Leo heaved a sigh of relief, thinking about the rewards he had gained from his crazy farming the last few days in the Beastnet.

‘Ding,

The portal to the human world will appear in exactly six hours.

Soon, Leo received a system notification; however, he was not surprised because he already had the system inform him six hours before he had to leave the Beastnet.

‘I think it is time to bid farewell to the Flaming Lion King.’

In the Beastnet, the Flaming Lion King had helped him a lot, and he wanted to at least bid a property farewell before leaving the world. So, he followed the orange-coloured hue in the sky and went to Emberfields.

…._.

Inside the Flaming Lion King’s den,

“So, is it finally time for you to leave the Beastnet?”

The moment Fury saw Leo enter his den, the Flaming Lion King could tell the purpose of Leo’s visitation.

“Yes, Sir Fury. I wanted to thank you for your help and pointers regarding the world assessment.”

Leo gave a deep bow to Fury as he thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

“Didn’t I already say I will be taking your help in the future? So, there is no need to thank me.”

Fury shook his head and said, “However, if you are really grateful to me, I have a favour to ask from you.”

“Please tell me what you need, Sir Fury. I will help you as long as it is something I can do.”

Leo didn’t hesitate as he asked what the mighty Flaming Lion King wanted from him.

“Can you become sworn brothers with my son and take him to your world?”

The Flaming Lion King asked something that gave quite a surprise to Leo.

“Sure”

However, Leo didn’t think much and agreed without hesitation.

“Lionel, didn’t you say you will leave with Brother Leo? Come out and become the sworn brothers in the presence of our Bestial God.”

Soon, Fury’s loud voice resounded in the den as Lionel rushed into the den with an excited look in his eyes.

“Father, I am here…I am here.”

‘This brat…I thought he would at least act a little sad to leave the territory. It looks like he has already grown up.’

Even though the Flaming Lion King looks ferocious on the surface, he is a little sad to send his son away.

Nevertheless, he didn’t show it in front of others and quickly made both Leo and Lionel swear under the presence of their Bestial God, the Heavenly Lion God.

‘Ding,

The host made a good impression on the Heavenly Lion God. He left a bestial mark on you.

As soon as Leo became the sworn brother with the little lion, he received a system notification, making him raise his brows.

‘Another bestial mark? I wonder what effect it will have.’

It was Leo’s second bestial mark. So, he was not surprised that the bestial god was able to leave a mark on him; however, he was curious about the after-effects of having a bestial mark on his body.

The first bestial mark was from the Mighty Bull God, who became angry after stealing one of his followers. That bestial mark would make him a target to his other followers in the world where he had his presence.

‘Ding,

In the worlds where the Heavenly Lion God has his presence, you will be treated as an esteemed guest by his followers, and they will help you to a certain extent.

‘Oh. One bestial mark makes me an enemy, whereas the other makes me an esteemed guest.’

Leo didn’t care whether he became an enemy or a guest.

As long as someone wants to kill him, they would become experience points for him, and if someone helps him, he will repay them multiple folds.

“Father, after I leave, don’t cry. When I return, I might be as powerful as the father, or I might even surpass you…Haha.”

On the other hand, Lionel had a small conversation with his father and tried to cheer up his father because he knew how much his father loved him.

Even though Lionel requested his father to leave with Leo in his world, he didn’t expect his father to agree to his request.

Nevertheless, he didn’t think much because Lionel knew his father would not make such decisions without proper thinking.

“Brat, you need to back your words with actions. Don’t just spew nonsense in front of me.”

Fury knew what his son was like. Even though Lionel was intelligent and blessed with a powerful bloodline, he was arrogant. Therefore, Fury wanted his son to experience life in a world no one knew about his father.

‘I hope he can mature and come back to the Beastnet. Everything lies in his hands.’

Fury silently muttered to himself and looked at Leo with high expectations.

The Flaming Lion King was not worried that his son would die in a foreign world because he knew Leo would not let that happen.

‘No matter what situation he encounters, he will find a way to survive, and since he had become the sworn brothers with my son, he could not abandon him either.’

Fury could tell that Leo was not the type to repay kindness with evil. Moreover, he was not worried because Leo and Lionel were now sworn brothers who would be protecting each other at any cost.

“Sir Fury, I don’t know when I can come….”

“You don’t have to worry about it. There will be a day where you can enter this world again soon.”

Before Leo could finish his words, Fury interrupted and asked Leo not to worry about returning to the Beastnet.

“Oh.”

Even though the Flaming Lion King said so many things about the world assessment, Leo felt like he was still hiding something; however, he didn’t bother to ask about it as the other party was unwilling to say that anyway.

“You can leave now.”

Holding back his emotions, the Flaming Lion King asked Leo to leave.

“Sir Fury, I have one final request before leaving.”

Leo nodded and turned to leave with the lion cub in his arms; however, he suddenly thought about something and stopped in his steps.

“Is there something you forget?”

Seeing that, Fury asked Leo.

“Yes, Sir Fury.”

He nodded, and after some hesitation, Leo asked, “Do you have any more Fragments of the God Stones with you?”

Previously, Fury had already given a Fragment of God Stone to Leo along with the Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit.

Therefore, Leo felt slightly embarrassed for asking for more Fragments of the God Stones.

“Fragments of the God Stones?”

The Flaming Lion King thought for a moment and said, “I might have some. Let me check them in my Treasury.”

“You have some? Great.”

Leo became excited and silently thought, ‘I can finally unlock a new system ability.’
