Talent Swallowing Hero



The old man was still in shock to see that his Devil Vulture got killed by Leo's contracted beast which was four levels weaker than his beast.

"Y-you…you…damn you, b*stard!"

When he heard Leo's words, the old man came out of his shock and became furious.

"What? Aren't you happy to see my ability?"

Leo was calm as he replied to the old man's cursing and said, "By the way, thanks for the Purple Grade Beast Essence Orb."

"Also, why don't you summon all your contract beasts? My beasts want to fight more as they have grown very rapidly with less combat experience."

Even though Leo's words sounded nice, for the old man, they were like adding salt to his wounds.

'This brat…he is dangerous. I have to either turn him into my slave or kill him but the problem is…'

Even though the old man was burning with fury, he knew that he could not fight against a Diamond Grade Beast or that any of his beasts were not strong enough to fight against the Celestial Forest Howler.

'Swoosh'

However, in the next second, the old man suddenly saw something that changed his thoughts.

"Haha…so, your beast can activate its bloodline for only a minute…what a weak bloodline."

Suddenly, the old man released a violent aura from his body as he forcefully laughed with anger.

Since they were not in the forest, the Celestial Forest Howler's bloodline duration was limited to one minute and that one minute passed.

Moreover, it even entered into a weakened state and it was a piece of cake for the old man and his beasts to kill it.

Hence, he finally saw some hope and decided to go all out and take care of Leo.

"Since each one of our beasts can't fight the battle, let's fight with other beasts."

On the other hand, Leo still maintained his composure as he urged the old man, "Quickly summon all your beasts and let's get it done with. I have a lot of things to do later."

'...'

Hearing Leo's words, the old man was speechless for a moment.

"You…fine. I wanted to kill only one of your beasts to teach you a lesson; however, I have changed my mind now."

The old man viciously looked at Leo and a group of beasts behind him and said, "I will not only kill all your beasts but I will destroy both your father and mother's families."

"Everyone, come out."

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

In the next second, three huge Purple Grade Beasts appeared in front of the old man and they have the strength of level 2, 4 and 6 Purple Grade respectively.

'Ding,

1) Shadowhound, Level 2 Purple Grade.

2) Cursed Drake, Level 4 Purple Grade.

3) Inferno Lizard, Level 6 Purple Grade.

Note: All beasts are High-Class Beasts.

Soon, the system informed Leo about the strength of these beasts that the old man summoned and Leo nodded his head.

'These masked men must be the Shadow Slaves summoned by his talent.'

Other than the three beasts, 10 masked men were standing behind the three beasts as Leo even got the information about them from the system.

'Ding,

Combat Shadow Slave (Purple Grade) x 5.

These shadow slaves have the strength and defence of a Purple Grade Beast Tamer without any skills.

'Ding,

Scout Shadow Slave (Purple Grade) x 3.

These don't have any combat power; however, they are good at scouting, tracking or stalking the prey.

'Ding,

Healer Shadow Slave (Purple Grade) x 2.

As their name sounds, they are good at healing beasts, beast tamers and other shadow slaves to reduce their summoning time.

'It looks like a good talent to have.'I think you should take a look at

Looking at the information on the shadow slaves, Leo decided to start his Talent Swallowing Mission with this talent.

However, before that, he had to kill the contracted beasts and take care of the shadow slaves.

"Phoenix, Frosty, Thunder Bears, you three take care of the Purple Grade Beasts. As for the others, kill these masked men."

Soon, Leo ordered his beasts and gave a special order to the Phoenix Eagle and the Frostwing Dragon, 'Don't use your bloodline. With your class difference, you can easily take care of them.'

That's right!

Currently, Leo didn't want his two beasts to use their bloodlines to temporarily increase their strength to Diamond Grade because he wanted his beasts to have some good combat experience.

"Yes, master."

All beasts nodded their heads after receiving Leo's order and jumped into action with great excitement.

'What the…why do his beasts look so excited to fight? They are much weaker than my beasts but why?'

Looking at Leo's beasts, the old man had a bad feeling in his heart and in the next few moments, he got an answer to his question.

'Slash'

'Swoosh'

His three Purple Grade Beasts were clearly at a disadvantage against the three level 1 Purple Grade Beasts.

The situation with his Shadow Slaves also looked the same…no, it could be considered worse because the Shadow Slaves were being suppressed by a group of Gold Grade Beasts.

'Puchi'

'Kacha'

'Ding,

The master's Phoenix Eagle killed a level 6 Purple Grade Inferno Lizard.

'Ding,

The master's Frostwing Dragon killed a level 4 Purple Grade Cursed Drake.

'Ding,

The master's Giant Thunder Bear (merged) killed a level 2 Purple Grade Shadowhound.

In less than one minute, Leo received three system notifications informing him that his beasts had successfully killed the old man's three beasts.

As for the Shadow Slaves, they were also destroyed by his Gold Grade Beasts; however, Leo didn't get any system notifications for them.

'It looks like they can be summoned again after some time.'

With that thought in mind, Leo shook his head and looked at the old man who had lost all hope after witnessing the fight between his beasts and Leo's beasts.

'Escape'

The old man only had one thought in his mind and it was to escape from this place.

He even turned around to run away to survive; however, how could Leo let him go that easily after witnessing his ability and threatening him into becoming his servant?

"Frosty, freeze him up."

Without wasting any time, Leo ordered the Frostwing Dragon to freeze the old man.

"Noo…"

Between a Purple Grade Beast Tamer and a Beast, a Beast would be a stronger one and Frostwing Dragon was a Quasi-Divine Class Beast.

So, even its basic attack could easily freeze the old man as he could not block or dodge the attack.

"Now, shall I let you see another one of my abilities?"

With a slight smile on his face, Leo walked towards the old man who became an ice statue and said that he would let him watch another one of his abilities.

"However, before that, I want you to tell me all the information about the Beast Tamer God's Temples."

Lep placed his hand on the ice statue and melted the ice around the old man's head so that he could answer his questions.

"S-since I…am going…to die…I will…die without saying…anything. The Beast Tamer God's Temples…won't let….you go and…. definitely take…revenge for me."

The old man knew that his death was confirmed; therefore, he decided not to answer any of Leo's questions.

"Fine then…you can die now."

'Slash'

Without any hesitation, Leo killed the old man and used his [Talent Swallowing Ability].
