Talent Swallowing Hero



"Uncle, how did you convince Grandpa and Mother?"

When Leo learned that he would be going with his uncle to the Stormrider Family, he was pleasantly surprised and asked Uncle Grey about it.

"I didn't do anything. It's your mother who convinced your Grandfather."

Uncle Grey didn't mention the near-fight situation and gave the full credit to Sera which was obviously true in his opinion.

"..."

Leo was surprised and tried to understand the situation; however, he was unable to think exactly what his mother was thinking in her head.

'Anyway, I am always curious about my Father's family. Compared to here, there will be fewer restrictions, right?'

Among the three family members, his Uncle was less strict with him compared to his mother and Grandfather. Therefore, Leo felt that he could do more things during his stay with the Stormrider Family.

"Storm Eagle, come out."

As Leo was looking forward to living with the Stormrider Family, Leo heard his Uncle Grey's shout.

'Screech'

In the next second, there was a loud screech as a huge green-coloured eagle came out of his Uncle Grey's body.

"Is that Uncle Grey's pet?"

It was Leo's first time seeing such a huge beast after entering this world as he asked Uncle Grey.

"Yes."

Nodding his head, Uncle Grey grabbed Leo's shoulder and jumped onto the huge eagle.

"Let's go."

'Screech'

After an order from Uncle Grey, the Storm Eagle screeched once again as it flew into the distance at an incredible speed.

"Leo, if you are scared of this speed…. never mind."

Uncle Grey was about to ask whether Leo was okay with the flight speed; however, seeing how calm Leo was and looking at the scenery around them, he stopped asking about it.

'Is my nephew really a Heaven's Son?'

Uncle Grey didn't believe in things like heavens and hells; however, there were times when he looked at Leo, and he could not help but question himself about their existence.

….

"Leo, after we enter the Stormrider Family, you should start training. What do you say?"

After letting Leo enjoy the scenery, Uncle Grey shared his thoughts about Leo's future.

"Training? Okay."

Leo wanted to train and increase his strength; however, his mother said that he should start training at the age of 10.

Hence, when Leo heard Uncle Grey's words, Leo readily agreed with him.

"Even if you don't want….wait…what?"

Uncle Grey that Leo would not agree and prepared to say a lot of things to motivate Leo.

However, seeing how easily Leo agreed, Uncle Grey was surprised once again before becoming happy.

"I will be training you personally and at the same time, explain things about the beast tamer's talents and other things. Of course, I will also answer your questions."

Uncle Grey knew Leo always had so many questions and because of Magnus, Grey didn't answer many of them; however, now, there was no one who could stop Grey from teaching Leo all the things.

"I am waiting."

Leo was happy and nodded his head as he used his talent on the Storm Eagle to collect the information about it.

....

Beast Name: Storm Eagle.

Beast type: Wind.

Beast Master: Grey Stormrider.

Strength: Gold (2nd layer).

Skills: Violent Wind, Wind Acceleration,....

More Information: A common type of eagle in Eldoria that is mostly used for transportation and most beast tamer won't form a contract with it as they feel it would waste a beast slot.

...

For a moment, Leo felt tired; however, shaking his head, Leo focused on the information that appeared in his head.

'Huh? A common-type and disliked beast? Then, why did Uncle Grey form a contract with it?'

Leo felt his Uncle wasted a slot; however, when he thought about it, he felt he might have a story behind that.

'I wonder whether I could see its evolution paths and help it evolve into a stronger beast.'

Since Uncle Grey was always nice to him, Leo wanted to help his beast become stronger and the only way for the low-level beasts to become stronger was through evolution.

Hence, Leo wondered whether he could see the evolution path and the related information for the Storm Eagle with his talent [Quasi Divine Knowledge].

…..

Evolution:

…..

'Aargh'

There was only a single word in Leo's head as he coughed a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Leo"

Uncle Grey was anxious as he hurriedly checked on Leo.

With his current strength, Grey could tell what was wrong with Leo and thought. 'Is he tired from the flight?'

'It looks like he is still a six-year-old.'

Leo's actions always made Uncle Grey think that Leo was an adult; however, seeing how easily Leo got tired, Uncle Grey shook his head with a slight smile.

….

The next day,

"Uncle Grey."

Leo woke up after sleeping for more than 16 hours and unconsciously called for Uncle Grey.

'Kacha'

As though he was waiting behind the doors, Uncle Grey opened the doors and entered the room as soon as Leo called for him.

"How are you, Leo?"

"Feeling great."

Leo replied with a bright smile, making Uncle Grey's last bit of worries disappear and asked, "How long did I sleep?"

"You didn't sleep. You were unconscious for 16 hours to recover from your fatigue."

Uncle Grey corrected Leo's words.

"16 hours?"

Leo raised his brows for a moment and nodded his head while thinking, 'So, it took me 16 hours to recover my mind power or whatsoever? It looks like I have to be careful in using my [Quasi Divine Knowledge].'

From now on, Leo decided to be careful in using his talent.

That's right!

Leo knew the reason why coughed a mouthful of blood and became unconscious. It was because of his careless usage of [Quasi Divine Talent] on everything that he could see.

Every time one uses his talent, they will be spending some energy depending on the type of talent and since [Quasi Divine Knowledge] is related to the mind, it consumes his mind power every time he uses it.

"What about your promise? When are we going to Uncle's Beast Ranch?"

Nevertheless, Leo kept all his thoughts aside and asked Uncle Grey about it.

"If you can walk, let's go now."
