Talent Swallowing Hero

‘Ding,

The host spent 5000 units of Starlight Energy.

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for successfully becoming a rank 5 Starlight Cultivator.

‘Ding,

Starlight Dantian: 4500 / 10000 units.

Leo revealed a satisfied smile when his current cultivation rank and muttered, ‘At this rate, by the time I leave the [Treasure Land], I might even become a Supreme-ranked starlight cultivator.’

Even though Leo was not much interested in cultivation, he felt it would be a waste to not use the 20x cultivation speed inside the [Treasure Land].

‘Moreover, it would not harm to increase my cultivation which that ancient voice seemed to dislike.’

Other than feeling refreshed and some boost in his strength, there was another reason why Leo wanted to cultivate.

According to Arlo’s grandfather and even the three devil Goliath Kings from the Devil Goliath World said the same thing, they have to focus more on either the ‘Path of Heroes’ or ‘Path of Devils’.

Leo felt there might be a particular reason why the ancient voice didn’t want the natives of the world to follow the ‘Cultivation Path’.

Hence, Leo felt it was worth giving it a try along with his ‘Path of Heroes’.

‘Even if there were no particular reason for the ancient voice’s dislike towards the cultivators, it’s alright as my mind feels refreshed and clear with the increase in the cultivation.’

With that thought in mind, Leo focused on the required units of Starlight Energy for his next rank in the Starlight Cultivation.

‘It requires 10000 units which means I need another three hours to become a rank 6 starlight cultivator.’

Since he had to fill his dantian and use the entire Starlight Energy to break through to the next rank, Leo could easily guess the numbers before focusing on the cultivation.

‘Swoosh’

“Huh? Where am I?”

“This is not the [Treasure Room].”

Just as he was about to resume his cultivation, Leo heard two voices and sensed two powerful auras near to him.

‘Is it time already? They appeared sooner than I thought.’

However, even without opening his eyes, Leo could tell the purpose of those who appeared near him.

“Infernal Dragonborn and Silvermoon Wolf.”

Soon, Leo opened his eyes and saw a humanoid wearing the full set of gold-coloured dragon armour from head to toe.

Beside the humanoid, he saw a huge silver-coloured wolf with a half-moon mark on its forehead.

‘As I expected, they are the first to accumulate one million treasure points.’

Leo was not surprised by the appearance of a powerful monster and a mutated beast because he already knew about the factions among the participants.

“You are looking for the [Treasure Room], right?”

Standing up from his cross-legged position, Leo asked the two participants with a slight smile.

“Yes. If you know what is good for you, tell me where it is?”

Even though they were puzzled at the fact they appeared on the mountain top; instead of the [Treasure Room], they assumed that the [Treasure Room] was somewhere in the mountain.

Hence, they asked Leo about it in a threatening manner.

“If you want to enter the [Treasure Land], you have to defeat me.”

While stretching his body a little, Leo replied to them in a calm tone.

“Huh? Stop spouting nonsense and tell us where it is.”

Both Infernal Dragonborn and Silvermoon Wolf growled at Leo as they asked them to stop spouting nonsense.

“Remnant Spirit, why don’t you come out and explain to them about it?”

Leo didn’t bother to waste his time explaining things to them as he summoned the Abyssal Demon God’s remnant spirit to explain the things.

<You can only enter the [Treasure Room] by defeating him>

The remnant spirit appeared out of nowhere and said a few words before leaving without bothering much about it.

‘This brat…there is something off about him.’

Even though the remnant spirit disappeared from everyone’s view, he was watching Leo and the other two as he commented on Leo.

‘Is he just overconfident or does he have the strength to back it? Let’s see whether he can defeat them or not.’

From the beginning, the remnant spirit showed interest in Leo because Leo was not only careful, he was calm and composed as though he knew many things about the [Treasure Land].

What’s more surprising was, when others were working hard to kill the abyssal beasts to accumulate the treasure points, he was cultivating.

Nevertheless, the remnant spirit knew why Leo was not bothering to collect the treasure points because the participants have to go through him to enter the [Treasure Points].

That’s right!

Just like Leo’s first [Treasure Land], he asked for a similar reward where the participants have to go through him to enter the [Treasure Room].

‘If he was really strong, I am more curious about how he was going to force the treasure points from these two participants.’

Originally, with Abyssal Demon God’s demonic nature, his first trial didn’t have the rule of not killing the fellow participants; however, after granting Leo’s reward, the remnant spirit added that rule to see whether Leo could force the treasure points from the participants without killing them.

Therefore, he was looking forward to Leo’s fight with the Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf and how he was going to take their treasure points without killing them.

‘What the…is he for real?’

‘Why do we need to fight this human brat?’

The monster leader and the beast leader looked at Leo with a disgruntled expressions.

They have to defeat the human; however, they should not kill him which was a little pain in the a*s for them.

“Anyway, since we don’t have any choice other than defeating him to enter the [Treasure Room], we have to try using as little strength as possible to defeat him.”

After some discussion between the Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf, the Silvermoon Wolf decided to fight Leo first.

“Human, just admit defeat; otherwise, you will be crippled for life.”

‘Woo’

As soon as the Silvermoon Wolf finished its words, it howled at the sky and soon, a dozen shining moon blades rained on Leo.

‘Swoosh’

‘Clang’

‘Clang’

Leo didn’t bother to dodge the incoming shining moon blades as one of his undead beings appeared out of nowhere and used its body to block them.

It was a huge bear with thick metallic armour on its back and right now, it used that metallic armour to block the incoming moon blades.

‘Huh? A rank 4 supreme-ranked undead summon?’

The Silvermoon Wolf, the Infernal Dragonborn and even the remnant spirit were surprised that the human was hiding a level 4 supreme-ranked undead summon.

‘No wonder, he was confident when he asked for that request.’

The remnant spirit finally realized where Leo was getting his confidence from and muttered, ‘Nevertheless, it will not be an easy thing for him to get the treasure points from them without killing them.’

“Since you are not bad, I would like to give you an offer.”

With a calm look on his face, Leo looked at the Silvermoon Wolf and offered a deal.

“An offer?”

Seeing the level 4 supreme-ranked undead summon, the Silvermoon Wolf became cautious and didn’t attack Leo rashly.

“Yes, an offer.”

Leo nodded his head before saying, “Do you want to become my living follower or an undead follower?”
