Talent Swallowing Hero

"What?"

The three lions were shocked when they heard Leo's words.

Originally, they thought that Leo wanted to fight them individually because which rank 9 beast would dare to fight three supreme-ranked beasts at once?

Before they could ask whom he wanted to fight first, Leo started attacking, which was completely out of their expectations.

"You want us to fight you together?"

Coming out of their shock, they asked Leo once again to confirm whether what they heard was right.

"Yes. I am running short on time. So, let's not waste any time and wrap the fight as soon as possible."

Leo nodded and explained that he was running out of time.

"You are very arrogant."

The three lions said the same line in unison.

"If I lose the fight I will accept that; however, if I win the fight, it means I am just confident in my strength."

Leo shook his head and replied, "Are we going to fight or not?"

"Haha…you speak like a true lion for a human. Let's fight!"

As soon as the lightning lion finished his words, he rushed towards Leo with his body covered in lightning sparks.

As a supreme-ranked lion, the three lions could easily tell that it was a human with lion transformation talent.

[Lightning Speed]

Its speed was so fast that Leo could only see the after images left behind by the Lightning Lion.

"Hehe"

Leo was not worried about the incoming Lightning Lion; instead, he acted on one of his lion skills [Heavenly Fire Purgatory].

'Boom'

'Boom'

Suddenly, the 100 meters radius around Leo turned into a fiery land and with each step, the Lightning Lion took, there was an explosion.

Since Lightning Lion was using [Lightning Speed], it could not stop running all of a sudden and by the time it could stop, it had already caused more than 20 explosions within the [Heavenly Fire Purgatory].

"Brother"

The remaining two lions following behind the Lightning Lion to attack Leo stopped in their tracks when they saw the fiery ground.

When they saw their brother blasted out of the [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] before he could reach the flaming lion, they hurriedly rushed towards the Lightning Lion to check on him.

'Did I get him? I hope he didn't die as it would make things a little difficult for me.'

Leo looked at the Lightning Lion and hoped he didn't kill it accidentally.

It was his fight time using his skill [Heavenly Flaming Lion King's Suppression] together with other skills.

According to that skill, all lion-type beings would be suppressed by 50 percent of their battle prowess for five minutes.

Adding together with the effect from the [Supreme Killer], Leo was confident in defeating them; however, he assumed that he wouldn't be killing them since the other party was a supreme-ranked beast.

"I am alright!"

Soon, the Lightning Lion struggled to stand up and looked at Leo.

"Phew…I thought I accidentally killed him. I am glad you are alive."

Seeing that, not only the two lion beasts but even Leo heaved a sigh of relief.

'...'

The Arctic Ice Lion and Goldrock Lion were speechless at Leo's words; however, they didn't dare to rush toward Leo.

They already guessed the reason behind their suppression was from Leo and if they entered the fiery ground, they might not be lucky enough to survive like his brother who was the strongest among them.

"We admit defeat."

Suddenly, the Lightning Lion admitted their defeat and after some hesitation, it said, "We will follow you; however, we don't like to be restrained in the Beast Storage Tokens."

Since the Lightning Lion had already seen what Leo was capable of, it didn't hesitate to become Leo's follower.

Of course, the aura around the Heavenly Flaming Lion King was also one of the reasons for their submission to Leo.

"Master"

Soon, the remaining two lions also followed the Lightning Lion's actions and accepted Leo as their master.

Even though they were a little surprised that their proud elder brother was easily submitted to the other lion, they were aware that their elder brother must have thought a lot while making that decision so soon.

Since their elder brother decided to become a follower of a human, they also decided to do the same without any hesitation.

'Ding,

The Lightning Lion, the Arctic Ice Lion and the Goldrock Lion acknowledged the host as their master.

'Ding,

The host successfully completed the upgrade requirements to upgrade the special talent [Heavenly Flaming Lion King Transformation].

'Ding,

Please use one Special Upgrade Stone or three Advanced Upgrade Stones to complete the upgrade.

As soon as the three lions acknowledged Leo as their master, he received a series of system notifications.

'Use the Special Upgrade Stone and upgrade it.'

The only difference between the Special Upgrade Stone and the Advanced Upgrade Stone was one could be used to upgrade the special talents whereas the other one could only upgrade the normal talents.

Even though Leo had five Advanced Upgrade Stones, he had kept them for a special talent.

'Ding,

The upgrade has started. Please wait for a few minutes to complete the upgrade.

'I think it is better to use them and empty my storage ring a little.'

While the [Heavenly Flaming Lion King Transformation] was upgrading, Leo thought it was better to upgrade another talent.

'Upgrade [Mighty Combustion] using five advanced upgrade stones.'

Since a special talent required five advanced upgraded stones, Leo used them to upgrade another special talent.

'Ding,

The host's talent [Mighty Combustion] has started upgrading. Please wait for a few minutes.

'Ding,

There are no more advanced upgrade stones or special upgrade stones. Collect them for the easy upgradation of the talents.

'I hope my followers find some special upgrade stones or advanced upgrade stones in the [God Ruins].'

Even though there was another [Treasure Land] he was yet to explore, Leo guessed that he would not find them.

Nevertheless, he was not worried too much about it as his followers would collect enough stones for him to complete the mission [Mighty Supreme].

"Beast Subduing Formation, activate."

As Leo was waiting for his two special talents to finish their upgrades, he heard a loud voice and before he could react an energy barrier appeared around him and the three lions.

'Huh? Beast Subduing Formation?'

Leo frowned and saw one of the three lions trying to move out of the golden-coloured barrier that appeared around them out of nowhere.

'Boom'

A huge explosion occurred as the Goldrock Lion blasted away and immediately lost consciousness.

'Ding,

Detected a supreme-grade formation around the host. The system suggests the host cancel your transformation talent and revert to the human form to go out of it.

'Huh? A supreme-grade formation?'

Leo raised his brows; however, when he heard that he could go out of the barrier without any problem in his human form, Leo was relieved and looked at the one who activated the formation.

"Brother, it looks like we are one step closer to becoming the elder of the organization."

"Brat, stop saying about it so openly."

There were five men in more or less the same hunter attire and when Leo heard their words, he revealed a slight smile.

'Organization? I was about to go search for them and they are here on their own…Good, I can collect some information on the secret organizations now.'
